I’m Going Both Ways On Game Of Thrones

Chapter 318 Ed's decision

"Thank you, Maester Peysir!" Ed took the letter, glanced at the intact varnish on it, and thanked Maester Pasir who was standing opposite the desk facing the building.

Hearing the words of the former Prime Minister, Maester Paisier bowed his head slightly, and it seemed that his back was bent lower, "This is what I should do, Lord Ed, if you have no other orders, then I will retire.

Ed nodded, indicating that he could do it himself.

Maester Pei Xier turned around majestically, looking old, and slowly walked out of the Prime Minister's office.

Ed watched him go out with a thoughtful face, then withdrew his gaze and opened the letter sent from Winterfell in his hand.

In the letter, his wife, Caitlin, briefly said that Robb performed well during his tenure as the acting city lord.

Then he mentioned that Mr. Jason paid her more than 6,700 golden dragons for the first month of selling trees.

Reading this, Ed's tense and serious face couldn't help showing surprise. He didn't expect that in the first month, he would have made so much money from selling trees in Winterfell!

This surprised and delighted Ed Stark.

After all, the north is too barren and the population is not large. The income of Winterfell is very limited. Now that there is income from selling trees, Stark is really good for the family.

Then look down, after reading what Caitlin said in her heart, to lease the wasteland by Lake Saylor and build a commercial port to trade with merchants from all over the world by water.

Even Lord Jason East is willing to give one-twentieth of his annual income to Winterfell as a tax. This condition is really very favorable!

Of course, as the Lord of the North, Ed Stark didn't think about the annual tax first, but first thought that if the port on the shore of Lake Saylor developed into a prosperous town like White Harbor, for the North, for the Stark family What will be the benefit?

The first benefit is tax increases.

The second advantage is that he can keep Jason East, a business wizard and a wealthy aristocrat, in the north, and he can even directly confer the wasteland around Sayler Lake to the East family in the future.

In this way, the Stark family can have another powerful vassal like the Mandalay family.

This will also be of great benefit to Robb's future rule after taking over as the guardian of the North.

Yes, Ed's plan is to let Robb canonize Jason East after his eldest son Robb officially inherits his territory and title, so that Robb will get the allegiance of a powerful vassal.

As for saying that the other party does not accept the canonization of the Lord of the North?

Ed smiled lightly. As long as the Lord Jason could increase his investment in the North, he would definitely be reluctant to abandon the port city he had built and choose to leave the North to go to other parts of Westeros.

After all, that Mr. Jason is also a businessman, and a businessman will not let his investment go to waste.

The door to the office was suddenly opened, interrupting Ed's thoughts.

Bran, Sansa and Arya ran in excitedly.

"Father, hurry up, we are going to the tournament outside the city, this is organized for you by His Majesty the King—" Bran took Ed's hand and urged repeatedly.

Arya held Eddard's other arm and kept shaking, "Come on, father, the tournament will start soon, I saw the king and they have already set off!"

Sansa wanted to go with Prince Joffrey, but out of the noble lady's restraint, she could only endure the strong thoughts in her heart.

Ed hugged Bran and Arya, with a smile on his cold face, "Okay, I see, you all go back to your room and get your things, we'll take the carriage out of town later, okay, kids , go get ready!

"Hahaha, I'm going to get my toy sword--" Bran hurried to his room.

Arya and Sansa also turned and ran out of Ed's office, ready to bring their beautiful clothes, because the tournament would last several days and they might be staying in tents outside the city.

When I think of the competition, there will be many young heroes, and many noble ladies and wives watching. Sansa wants to wear the most beautiful clothes given by Mr. Jason to attend the competition, and then it will definitely be overwhelming.

With a cosy mood, Sansa instructed the maid Jenny to help her change her clothes.

Eddie saw the happy look of the children, and at first he was a little relieved that the king held a tournament for him to celebrate being the prime minister so extravagantly.

·0 Seeking flowers...

At least the kids love it, don't they?

The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and Ed quickly regained his dignified face and shouted out, "Jolly--"

His captain of the bodyguard, Ser Jory Cassel, was dressed in leather armor, with his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and hurried in, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Let people prepare the carriage, wait for us to go to the tournament outside the city, and wait for Sansa and the others to wait for me in the carriage after they come out!" Ed said.

"Yes, my lord!" Jory immediately turned to inform Chief Viyan to prepare the carriage.

After Ed finished speaking, he took out a piece of white A4 paper, cut out a long strip with a knife, picked up a gel pen and started writing a letter to Caitlin.

In the letter, Ed told his wife that he wanted to keep Jason East in the north, and even let Robb canonize Jason East after Robb inherited his title.

So, he agreed with Jason East to lease the land on Lake Saylor.

After writing the letter, Ed sealed the seal with varnish, stamped his own direwolf crest, and had another guard, Tom, send it to Maester Tower Paisil.

After doing this, Ed went back to his room and changed into new clothes, and then took the children into the carriage, escorted by the Stark family guards, and headed to the competition venue outside the city.

At this time, outside the wooden competition venue, tens of thousands of civilians in Jun's Landing were already surrounded, and the scene was noisy.

Clever hawkers shuttled through the crowd to sell, and some merchants saw the opportunity and brought carts of inferior ale and sold them directly on the carriage, cup by cup. The business was not good.

Outside the wooden fence of the competition venue, there are guards in golden robes, and the civilians of Jun's Landing can only watch the competition from a distance outside.

Inside the fence, ladies and gentlemen of nobles, sit on the wooden steps specially built for them, and enjoy the competition in the field below.

As the king and the prime minister entered the seat, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became high.

King Robert sat on the high platform built alone for the royal family, with an excited expression on his chubby face, "The next is the tournament for Lord Stark · Eddard, to celebrate his appointment as our former Prime Minister." seven,
