Chapter 60: aware
Chapter 60 Perception
Yingzui Island.
Todd Buddha Flower walked into the lord's cabin and saluted Samwell:
"Lord Caesar, what do you need from me?"
"Yes." Samwell raised his head from a pile of documents, and said, "I want you to go to Highgarden, collect the refugees as much as possible, and bring them back to Yingzui Island."
"Refugees?" Todd frowned and reminded, "My lord, even if they are refugees, they are still the leaders of the Tyrell family. You can't..."
Before he finished speaking, Todd saw Samwell throwing a parchment over.
He quickly reached out to catch it, opened it, and suddenly found that the Duke of Mace had allowed Samwell to go to Highgarden to collect the refugees and bring them back to Yingzui Island.
Todd was stunned for a while, apparently not expecting Samwell to be able to persuade the Duke of Metz to agree to sign such an order.
This is literally…
Todd didn't know what adjective to use.
But he recognized the signature of the Duke of Mace, and he also believed that unless Samwell didn't want to stay in the river bend any longer, he would never dare to forge such a thing.
So, he decisively shut his mouth.
"You take fifty people to High Court and tell those refugees that I will take care of their food and housing here. As long as they are willing to work, they will have work points—well, you know the work point system, and you can explain it to them when the time comes. , Every refugee who successfully arrives at Yingzui Island can immediately get a bounty of ten copper coins. Remember, as long as you are willing to come, no matter men, women or children, I want them all, and the more the better."
"Yes, my lord." Todd actually wanted to ask, if too many people come, can you really afford it?
But when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say them.
Because now he finds that he can't understand the young pioneer knight in front of him more and more. The way the other party fights, earns money, and manages the territory all seem so unreasonable, but the fact is that he repeatedly It worked.
This new territory is also flourishing at an alarming rate.
Todd felt that he was not qualified to persuade such a lord at all.
In his eyes, Samwell may not be the wisest lord, but he is definitely the most amazing one.
Walking out of the lord's hut, Todd was thinking about who to take to Highgarden, when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the direction of the pier.
Another merchant ship?
Todd frowned subconsciously.
Although it is no secret that there have been ships supplying food and supplies to and from Yingzui Island, there is a new pier here, but recently, there have been too many merchant ships coming.
However, considering the geographical location of Yingzui Island, it seems that this place does have the potential to become a good port.
Todd didn't think much, turned around and walked out.
Not long after he left, Samwell also walked out of the lord's cabin.
He looked at the bustling pier, but his eyes gradually narrowed.
Different from the nervous Todd, Samwell has realized that these merchant ships have come very strangely.
Too much.
Even if the news that Yingzui Island has a new territory has spread, it shouldn't suddenly attract so many merchant ships to dock.
Moreover, he also noticed that these merchant ships basically came from Dorne.
This made Samwell realize that his territory might have attracted the attention of the Dorne lords.
Although he had expected this day to come, he never expected that it would come so soon.
No!
Samwell immediately realized that these Dorne merchant ships seemed to have gradually increased shortly after "Littlefinger" Petyr Baelish left.
Reminiscent of this person's fear of chaos in the world, it is very likely that this is the news he sent to the Dornish people!
Thinking of this, Samwell strode towards the pier.
Along the way, people saluted and greeted him one after another.
Samwell nodded in response, and soon saw a merchant captain named Tang En on the pier.
"Dear lord, thank you for allowing us to dock here."
"You're welcome. This is a free port, and any friendly people are welcome." Samwell saw the flag on the mast and asked, "Are you from Starfall City?"
"Yes, my lord."
"Did your Starfall City receive any big shots in the past month?"
"An important person?" Tang En looked confused, "What kind of important person are you referring to?"
"A great man from King's Landing."
"King's Landing?" Tang En thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "My lord, I have never heard of any master from King's Landing coming to Starfall City recently."
Samwell nodded, not too surprised.
After all, with the cautiousness of "Little Finger", it is really unlikely that he will go to Starfall City in person. In that case, the traces of his deliberate provocation will be too obvious.
"Where did you know that Yingzui Island has built a pier?"
"It has been spread all over the pier of Starfall City, as well as Gaoyin City and Bremen City. Everyone is discussing that they may be able to supply supplies from you in the future. But..."
"But what?"
"However, your pier here is still a bit crude, the pier is not long enough, there are not enough berths, there is no warehouse, food and fresh water are also... sorry, my lord, I didn't mean to offend..."
"It's okay." Samwell waved his hand with a smile, "Your suggestions are very good, but my territory has just started construction and it will take some time to perfect. By the way, who is your master in Starfall City now? In management?"
He remembered that the current bloodlines of the Dane family in Starfall City are extremely withered, especially the main lineage, who are sick, dying, and jumping into the sea. It seems that there is only one underage child who inherits The position of the head of the family.
"It's Lord Urik Shad."
"Urik Shad..."
Shad is the common surname of Dorn's illegitimate son. This Urik is probably the illegitimate son of the Dane family, and he is temporarily managing Starfall City on his behalf.
However, Samwell did not find this name from his memory, so he included the other party in the soy sauce contestant, and then asked, "I remember the Earl of Starfall City, Edrick Dane, right? Where is he now?" ?”
"Master Edric went to Black Harbor City, and I heard that he became the servant of Earl Beric Dondarrion."
Hearing Beric Dondarrion's name, Samwell finally remembered a lot.
Isn't this guy the "Lightning King" with seven lives?
The lucky one who shoulders the mission of the true God—perhaps it is more appropriate to call it a poor worm.
Even if you want to die, you can’t die until you complete your mission.
I remember that this "Lightning King" married Edric Dane's aunt, so he brought the young and helpless Earl of Starfall City to Black Harbor City to teach.
Samwell pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said:
"You help me bring a letter back to Starfall City, telling Sir Uric that I am going to visit."
Tang En was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly:
"Yes, my lord."
