Chapter 370 Busy
After Viserys left the hall, a guard quickly chased after him.
"His Majesty!"
The guards chased after him and told him that Petyr Baelish, the messenger of the usurper, had offered to see His Majesty the King alone.
"Oh?"
"He wants to see me alone?"
The silver-haired youth was not surprised by this. If someone like Littlefinger didn't engage in some conspiracy, it wouldn't be him.
The stage he is best at playing his own is never an open and upright performance on the stage, but hiding in the dark and constantly provoking people's contradictions through conspiracy.
"Can."
Viserys nodded without hesitation.
"Tell Littlefinger that I don't have much free time, and it's best to think about what I want to say now."
He doesn't like to play with each other, it's a waste of his time and energy, his words are a warning to let Littlefinger think about it before seeing him.
"clear!"
The guard nodded and backed away.
wow-
Then Viserys pulled on the reins with one hand, the saddle ring with the other and rolled over onto his mount.
And several guards protected him and also turned around and accompanied by black bugs, and then the group left the palace and rushed to the blacksmith workshop.
The master craftsman Tob Mott was appointed as the Minister of Craftsmanship by Viserys. Although he has not yet come and attended the Imperial Council, it is only a matter of time. In the future, there will be the Minister of Agriculture.
Viserys attaches great importance to the development of productivity. In such an era of mechanized production without assembly lines, craftsmen are the most basic industrial productivity.
Blacksmiths can forge weapons and armor, folk iron pot kitchen knives, hoes for hoeing, etc., woodworkers can build houses, build large-scale siege weapons, etc.
Therefore, Viserys placed the first priority on agriculture within the country.
This is very similar to the nobles of Westeros, and it is more in line with Viserys' own character, mainly farming. If he wants to build Andalos and Pantos into a farming civilization, there must be no problems with food.
The second priority is craftsmen, because craftsmen are creativity, which can support the economic and military foundation of a huge country.
The third is the traditional free trade of trading city-states, and the prosperity and development of commerce.
Viserys believes that the prosperity of business must be built on the basis of strength. Without strength, everything is empty talk, and it cannot be protected by holding gold ingots.
In the end, there is the issue of education, but in today's era, building a large number of schools to popularize education is a project with high investment and low return.
Viserys certainly knew the benefits of education, but it was too advanced for this era. He also wanted to abolish the role of the school city by distributing knowledge, but it was not the best time yet.
In this era, we only need honest farmers and brave soldiers. The talents trained by universal education cannot be reasonably absorbed by the society, but will become a burden.
Because the political structure of civilization mainly depends on the autonomy of the nobles, and the education of the nobles naturally does not need him to worry about.
Viserys stripped away the military power of the nobles within the new dynasty, and all military power was returned to the king, which was already a great progress.
If the governance rights are stripped away again, Viserys is afraid that if he takes a big step, he will easily withdraw his eggs.
Some of the Westeros nobles on the other side of the Narrow Sea got in touch with them, but most of them held firm resistance because of the New Deal.
Therefore, we still have to eat one bite at a time. Viserys only provides a channel for education within the army. After all, he can fully grasp the military power, and the junior officers who are promoted can have the opportunity to learn and come to Pantos for education.
In the name of 'learning to become a nobleman', teach them to read and write, after all, knights are the threshold of nobles.
At the same time, it also teaches some strategies and knowledge that have been used on the battlefield to improve the overall quality of basic officers.
In addition to daily training, weapons and equipment, and rewards and incentives, the combat effectiveness of an army also accounts for a large proportion of the commanding ability of grass-roots officers.
Because ordinary soldiers are directly in contact with the orders of the lower-level officers, not the orders of the regiment commander or senior commander.
…
"His Majesty."
"This is the dragon scale armor tailored for the soldiers of the Unsullied, please take a look."
The gray-haired master blacksmith held a heavy armor in Viserys' hands.
Although this armor is a little heavy to hold, it is much lighter to wear on the body, and it also has a good defensive ability, and it has been reasonably strengthened in key parts.
The chest, throat, joints, etc., these parts are injured with a high probability of death, while some parts are injured and lose their combat effectiveness instantly.
From a cruel point of view, a soldier's life is worthless, just like a leek after one crop is cut and another crop is left.
The general should squeeze the soldiers' combat effectiveness as much as possible to ensure that they can kill a person with their teeth in the end.
"When building these armors, I also consulted the opinions of Lord Black Bug, such as at the elbows"
Speaking of his expertise, Master Tob Mott rambled on.
People who work in this line of work just put in more effort and get less benefits, and they are also easy to take the blame. His Majesty the King must seize the opportunity when he finally comes, or at least not make mistakes.
"very good."
And Viserys nodded with satisfaction as he looked at this new set of light and extremely strong armor.
Its helmet still retains the long, spiked design of the Unsullied.
This should be the suggestion made by Black Bug, because it is easier to make the Unsullied warriors more familiar, and to quickly distinguish who is the commander in the chaotic battlefield.
Viserys fiddled with the iron pieces of the dragon-scale armor in his hand. The chest of the black armor had the emblem of the three-headed fire dragon of Targaryen, and the whole was awe-inspiring.
Then he raised his head and looked at the 5,500 pairs of dragon-scale armors that had been packed into boxes and filled the entire warehouse.
Most of them are built for the replacement of defective products or battle damage.
Then the silver-haired young man turned his head and said to the Unsullied Commander Black Bug, who was accompanying him.
"These armors are for Unsullied warriors, send someone to pick them up later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
And the black bug looked solemn, he held a spear in his hand and knelt down on one knee to express his gratitude to his master.
In fact, Viserys did not lie to Petyr Baelish, nor did he need to.
As king, he became very busy as soon as he returned to Pentos, and it was a rare leisure time when he went out, and many official business that Oberyn and Rhaenys had not dealt with had accumulated.
After the silver-haired youth inspected this batch of delivered armor, he went to the Golden Regiment's station non-stop to see how the morale of the Golden Regiment soldiers had been trained and prepared.
Although Viserys has always said that he is not in a hurry to send troops, sending troops is a matter of time.
Viserys couldn't just sit back and watch Westeros turn into a ghost. The Night King really swelled out of control and it was himself who was unlucky.
Many commanders of the Golden Corps greeted them respectfully. Many of them were descendants of the Blackfire Rebellion, but now they are loyal to the orthodox heirs of Targaryen.
Viserys thought for a moment after leaving the Golden Company, and then decided to see how the Dragonstone fleet was doing.
The Admiralty of the New Dynasty, Earl Geoffrey, who had just resigned as the former Prime Minister, is already too old.
The battle against Westeros was almost the last shining point in his life.
And it was also his lifelong long-cherished wish after he fled from Dragonstone, to restore the Targaryen Dynasty, so the old man devoted himself to the training of the new Dragonstone navy.
When Viserys arrived at the Dragonstone Fleet's station, he heard unexpected news.
"Um?"
"Here's the old man's illegitimate child in Westeros?"
