Chapter 62.
The next day, word of Theon's trial on the Mountain spread like wildfire.

And Theon himself is known as the number one knight in the Seven Kingdoms. After all, even the Magic Mountain can only be tortured and killed in the hands of Theon.

In fact, most people don't know the details of the battle.

But the news, the more it spreads, the more outrageous it is. When you brag with others, you will always unconsciously exaggerate the details that you think are shocking.

At this time Theon was riding home, along with Tyrion and Bronn.

This is the biggest achievement for King's Landing and his party.

Tyrion looked at what he had seen and heard along the way in the riverland, and was a little shocked, "How did you do it?"

The scars caused by the flames of war have completely faded in Hejian Land, and there are hurried civilians everywhere, but their faces are no longer numb, but finally rosy.

"Some food taxes have been reduced and exempted, and other harsh miscellaneous taxes have been abolished. With food in their hands, they are naturally motivated to do anything."

"Ha, how did you persuade your nobles to reform?" Tyrion asked curiously, "You don't seem to be such an eloquent person."

"You say this, those who are disobedient will go to hell, and those who are obedient will naturally be obedient." Theon said indifferently.

"???"

"Don't be surprised. At that time, the aristocratic group in Hejian was beaten to pieces. I stayed the obedient ones, and made excuses to kill the disobedient ones. I arranged for my people to take the top. Naturally, there would be no trouble."

"With the tax system in place, which peasant would not want to rebel with his nobles?"

Hearing Theon's words, Tyrion probably understood how Theon quickly stabilized the riverland, "Aren't you afraid that the nobles under your command will be dissatisfied with you and rebel against you?"

At this time Bronn interjected: "Wait a few more years, and it is estimated that no one can resist His Majesty Theon."

Tyrion showed suspicion, "Why do you say that?"

Bronn shook his head and said nothing.

"Damn it, why do you talk too much if you don't want to say it?" Tyrion was a little angry. There are two most disgusting things in the world, one is half-speaking, and the other is

Tweet!
A loud cry sounded, and Zeus landed on Theon's shoulder, whispering.

When Theon raised his hand, the whole team stopped.

"It seems that some people don't want us to go back, and it's all because of you, Tyrion." Theon said.

"Being able to do something at the border between Hejian Land and the King's Land is probably only my sister's idea. Not doing it in the King's Landing may be the highest political consciousness that her brain can come up with!"

Hearing Tyrion's speechless complaints, Theon was also very helpless. He really didn't expect that Cersei would not even have this kind of political awareness.

In terms of politics, Theon has underestimated Cersei as much as possible, but now it seems that he still overestimates Cersei.

You said you did it here, who without a brain would not guess that you did it?
Just as everyone complained, a dense crowd suddenly appeared in front of them.

"To be able to guess that I'm taking a path, this Cersei is actually not without a brain."

Hearing Theon's words, Tyrion took the bait and said: "That's Cersei who thinks you are such an arrogant person, and he certainly doesn't take everyone seriously, so he bet on ambush you in a short cut."

"If you can make an ambush, you can make money. If you can't ambush, then forget it. After all, Cersei will not be so stupid as to do something on the River Road or the King's Road."

There were about 2000 people who appeared in front of Theon. Although there were a lot of people, it was obvious at a glance that they were all refugees, and not many had armor.

"It should be under the High Sparrow. This old thing dares to attack me." Theon sneered, and at the same time he began to think about how to take revenge on the High Sparrow.

At this moment, there are [-] cavalry behind Theon, facing a group of black refugee soldiers, they can completely massacre one-sidedly.

With a wink at Bronn, he signaled Bronn to go and clean them up.

Bronn understood that this was his first test, so he immediately assembled his troops and rushed towards the refugee soldiers on the opposite side.

Facing the charging cavalry, the refugee soldiers who were quite confident just now scattered and fled in all directions.

"It seems that the big sparrow is not very obedient, my stupid sister may still think that the big sparrow is loyal to him!" Tyrion laughed.

Judging from the performance on the other side, the Big Sparrow obviously handled the matter well, and didn't want to send out his elite confidants.

"Maybe my good sister is already waiting for your head in King's Landing." Tyrion said with a playful smile.

Soon the refugees were almost killed, but none of Theon's 500 cavalry was injured.

Theon led the team to continue on their way slowly.

A week later, Theon returned to Seafront Port.

At this time, a batch of cargo has just arrived at the Haijiang Port Wharf, and a large number of porters are unloading the cargo.

Looking at the big sea monster flag on the cargo ship, Tyrion couldn't help but said to Theon: "No wonder you didn't receive any memorials for iron species plundering before. You all changed your career to do business?"

"This ship is so big, those who don't know it will think it is a warship." Tyrion exclaimed.

Xi En said with a smile: "In the beginning, no one wanted to do business, but you can grab the money by putting your head on your belt, but your neighbor sent a trip to sea belt and you couldn't grab it for a few years. Gold coins, no one will be willing to exchange them for it.”

"Money is always the best motivator." Bronn agreed. "You seem to have a lot of authority, and this group of people seems very happy to work for you."

"Of course!" Theon got off his horse, "The more you work, the more you get. They can get at least one silver coin a day."

Bronn showed surprise, "How much? One silver coin?"

One silver coin a day, thirty silver coins a month, nearly one golden dragon in three months!
"That's right, that's why they rushed to move things. If they want the horses to run, they have to graze them." Theon laughed, "Do you know how many people in Hejian now look forward to my next conscription?"

Tyrion asked curiously: "How much? Fifty thousand? Hahaha~" Tyrion laughed.

"At least 30! Even many women want to join the army."

"Pfft, hahahaha!" Tyrion laughed and said to Bronn, "Did you hear how much he said? 30!"

But laughing and laughing, Tyrion couldn't laugh. He looked at Theon, and then at the porters who were working.

"What's the treatment for joining the army?" Tyrion asked seriously.

"At present, for soldiers, 1 golden dragon a month, 13 golden dragons a year, three meals, lodging, and four-day rest every month, family members can get a food subsidy every month, and if they die in battle, they will get 24 gold dragons at once. annual wages as a pension."

"???" Tyrion was shocked: "Then your money is not all spent on the army?"

"What else?" Sean said indifferently, "If my money is gone, then I'll find a way to make money. If I can't make money, then I'll rob it. Anyway, my money is spent on the army. superior."

Tyrion took a deep breath, you sharpen your knives when your neighbors are hoarding grain, right?
