Chapter 62 Offices

Sun rises, another day begins, Wandering Crow Yoren as usual After breakfast, he went to Flea Bottom to pick up “new recruits”. Tyrion got up early and went out to find someone to organize the “printing factory” he was thinking of. Only Igor slept a little longer and watched the sun and waited for the time to be very slow. Hop on your horse and head to the street frontage that Eddard Stark has arranged for the Night’s Watch Legion.

The seals and signs are naturally impossible to make overnight, and the bonds won’t be made in a day or two, but the Night’s Watch office must be opened quickly: whether it is the signing of the bonds, or the recruitment process, it is It can’t be done in the open air or in other people’s homes – just like swindlers and leather bag companies often rent an office building to recruit employees to sell their looks, and activities involving money, doing it in a fixed place will give outsiders a big deal for the first time. sense of security.

Jyck has ordered office supplies such as desks, chairs, cabinets, etc. on oneself’s list yesterday, and made an appointment for home delivery. He will arrive today. As an applicant for Night’s Watch office and In the future, the boss will naturally be watching the scene, directing the decoration of the facade and the placement of various utensils. It is impossible to think about it.

……

The businessman has a good sense of time. The door is open for less than half an hour, and all the people and goods arrive.

After a simple cleaning, Igor began to instruct the workers to move the tables, chairs and cabinets into the door and place them in the expected positions one by one. He never opened a shop, but he played and grew up in mother’s tailor and clothing store since he was a child, which left him an unnoticeable but indelible influence. He unconsciously arranged the shop according to the structure of his home.

The office is divided into two rooms, the inner and outer rooms. On the outer wall, the detailed explanations and rules of the Night’s Watch bond will be hung on one side, and the welfare benefits and requirements of conscription will be hung on the other side. Below them, two rows of benches for visitors to rest have been placed. There is a large table in the middle of the house. In the future, the manager of the facade will sit behind the table and communicate and explain with people who are passing by and have a look, or who have ideas about bonds or joining Legion. If you are sure of your intention, you can ask Enter the inner room.

The interior is Igor’s office, with a simple row of cabinets and wooden shelves, and maybe a safe box and other facilities will be added in the future. Facing the window is a desk slightly smaller than the one outside. In the future, Igor will have more in-depth communication and negotiation with people on this desk, sign every Night’s Watch bond, and join Night’s Watch’s conscription contract.

Igor and Jyck were all soaked through their busy lives. They moved their chairs and sat outside the door, looking at the empty Night’s Watch office, which had not yet opened, discussing what was missing.

…

“Will anyone really sign up for Night’s Watch?” Jyck had already taken off House Lannister’s armor because of the heat, fanning oneself suspiciously. Asked: “Maybe you are really good at talking, but wearing black clothed…the price is too high, and I won’t go if you kill me.”

“Indeed, Night’s Watch needs reform now, and then With that ‘sacred’ bullshit oath, we’ll soon be gone from the world.”

“Reform?”

“Yes, reform.”

“Reform?”

“Reform.”

Igor pretended to be proven, and of course he wouldn’t really send Wall a lot of Night’s Watch recruits in the usual sense, let alone that he didn’t have the ability, even if he had, he wouldn’t do it. Sending people to the Wall, trained to swear, to be oneself’s lifelong “brother”? What benefits can oneself get?
It’s a fact that the more recruits you send over, the more stable Wall’s defense will be, and the less likely oneself will be forced to be recalled. But on the contrary, the more members, the greater the power of Night’s Watch… Oneself will be more suppressed. He doesn’t want to go back to Wall, but he doesn’t want to look at other people’s faces and beg others not to recall oneself.

Igor’s plan is to pretend to recruit soldiers in King’s Landing for a month or two, and then write a letter to the Legion high-level aggrieved: oneself has tried his best to persuade many people to go north to the Wall to resist Wildling and Others, but when it comes to being unable to marry and leave for life, ninety-nine percent of them all back down. If the requirements were relaxed a little bit and people were allowed to temporarily go to the Wall for a few years to help the Wall defenders through the most dangerous years and then go home, oneself would soon be able to get hundreds of people Add to The Wall.

Wall is desperately short of people right now, and Mormont has no choice but to finally agree to oneself’s suggestion.

Then, he can use the form of recruiting to pay people to go north for business trips – these people join Legion through the hands of oneself, get paid from oneself, and may eventually rely on oneself to cash out After a few years, they will be able to break away from the Night’s Watch and go home and get the travel expenses… They will form a solid community of interests with oneself. In a sense, they will be “oneself’s people”. Imagine that Night’s Watch Legion when the time comes has several points of one or even half of the members, how much power will the oneself gain?

When the time comes, even if oneself still has no position, it will be the second-in-command and even the most powerful person in the Night’s Watch Legion. Oneself does not bring the Night’s Watch to rebel and become independent, and there is no stronger force to intervene. What Alliser Thorne, what Benjen Stark… Anyone who wants to touch oneself has to weigh up.

What name should this force be called… Night’s Watch Foreign Aid, Land Grant Construction Corps, or The Wall Temporary Garrison?

Let’s talk about it later, he still has a lot of time to perfect this plan, but it’s not good to chat with Jyck, it’s not that I look down on Tyrion’s squire, but this thing, oneself knows clearly Enough.

The premise of everything is that the Night’s Watch bond must be successful first. As long as this step goes well, everything that follows will not be troublesome – problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

＊＊＊

Igor’s confident expression in control of everything made Jyck’s heart itch. After following his master for a long time, he also got some Tyrion’s strong thirst for knowledge and curiosity. Xin… was about to ask, but looked up and saw a great character: “Damn! Duke Stark, why is he here, Igor! He seems to be coming this way, is he looking for you?”

His thoughts were interrupted, and Night’s Watch was startled. Looking in the direction pointed by the young squire, he saw that the current Hand of the King Eddard Stark was riding down the street with a group of people.

……

Not to mention that the Night’s Watch office has just started to be renovated, even if it does open, it is impossible to invite the Prime Minister of Seven Kingdoms to come and join us. Eddard Stark should just be passing by, but since he is passing by, it is not impossible to stop here for inspection, or even “guide” work, given his concern for Night’s Watch.

Theoretically, North’s guardian can’t manage Night’s Watch, but he is a big leader. Oneself works in King’s Landing, but it all depends on him not obstructing or even providing convenience.

 …

Soon, the North guard caught sight of Igor, who was wearing a black jacket. He immediately said something to the guards around him, the entire group They all approached the side lightly with the reins, and finally stopped at the door.

“Lord Stark.” Igor still greeted him without being arrogant. At this moment, he played the role of a loyal Night’s Watch logistics officer. Only by this point, the other party would not embarrass oneself.
