#73Chapter 73 It is necessary to standardize
After finishing Jon Snow's affairs, Robb did not stay on the Great Wall for long and prepared to rush back to Riverrun to take charge of the overall situation.
Jon Snow was actually a little confused at this time and didn't know if what he was doing was right.
He came to Mr. Xiong's study and wanted to have a good chat with his leader.
"Did you agree to my going to Winterfell?"
Mr. Xiong turned over the documents in his hand: "Yes."
Jon was a little confused: "When I wanted to leave before, you should have been against it."
"Of course it's because your majestic king brother forced me to let you go." Mr. Xiong made a rare joke, although it was not funny.
Jon said nothing, waiting for Mr. Xiong to give his true reasons. He knew the character of Mr. Xiong. He was a man who would rather break than bend.
The old bear sighed: "We can't wait until it rains before repairing the holes in the roof. Regardless of whether the White Walkers are really going to attack again, I need to be the best prepared. Compared with before, the Night's Watch , it's really too weak and we need more support."
Speaking of this, Elder Xiong glanced at Jon again and said seriously: "You know, once you leave, you will definitely arouse criticism from others, but you must always remember that you are leaving for the oath of the Night's Watch. You There is no difference from the brothers on the Great Wall."
The old bear's meaning was very clear, and Jon nodded to show that he understood.
But he felt vaguely that something was wrong.
He clearly wanted to return to Winterfell to reunite with his family, so why did he make it sound like he was still being wronged?
He knew that Robb and Bear had reached an agreement a long time ago to move him around to work to meet their needs without any complaints. It was really...
Jon didn't know what to say. He suddenly thought of what Robb said before: do the right thing.
Well, then do the right thing.
Jon made up his mind, bid farewell to Old Bear, went back to pack his bags, and left this bitter and cold Great Wall that meant so much to him.
——
Robb returned to Winterfell ahead of Jon. During this time in Winterfell, he gained a long-lost relaxation, but it was not time to take a complete rest yet. Robb would soon leave for Riverrun.
During this time, Robb also began teaching Bran the magic of gravity.
Because Bran's legs are disabled, gravity magic can hopefully restore his mobility.
Robb knew that Bran had the talent of a shapechanger since he was a child. He could possess animals and use animal vision to observe his surroundings.
Since he has the talent to learn magic, Robb will not be stingy.
Just two days later, under the reluctant eyes of Bran and Rickon, Robb and Sansa left Winterfell again.
Along the way, Robb began to think about the people he could use.
"First of all, there are family members that I can trust. My mother Catelyn is doing diplomacy in the Stormlands, Sansa helps me with my calculations, Jon stays at Winterfell to stabilize the home front, and Uncle Edmure is responsible for the political logistics in the Riverlands. These people No problem."
"Then there are the trustworthy lords and nobles. Sir Blackfish is the Minister of Intelligence, Mei Ji is the Minister of Military Law, and the three lords who looted in the Western Region are his main military aids."
"Well... Lord Tytos Lakewood, who redeemed the hostages for himself and Tywin, should have returned to Riverrun. This earl held on to Riverrun under the siege of the Kingslayer, and his performance in King's Landing was also remarkable. You can make him your own minister."
"Let the old knight of the Frey family go temporarily and let him stay at Carlin Bay. When the old weasel dies after a while, we can arrange for him to do other things."
"There are still some subordinates who need to be inspected, such as Old Skinny, who leads the army alone and is stationed at Harrenhal, as well as the nobles from the streams and the Tombs of the First Men that I have beaten."
After combing through all his men, Robb found that he, the King of the North, was still a bit too clumsy.
Now that he has established himself as a king, many things must be done according to regulations. This cannot be sealed or promoted, and the powers of each subordinate are not clearly regulated.
Once something goes wrong, there will still be noisy crowds, and whoever has free time will be used.
If this continues, what will happen?
Because foreign enemies have been invading the Riverlands and the North, Robb has been busy dealing with war matters.
Now that the rear was finally stable and ready to officially go out to war, Robb decided that there needed to be a charter.
On the road from Winterfell to Riverrun, Robb had no intention of explaining the art of war to his wolf cavalry centurions, and began to concentrate on studying the feudal ministers.
Taking out a small notebook, Robb thought and wrote and drew in the notebook.
"First of all, we need to make it clear that the Northern Territory is still a military country that focuses on external expansion, so the enfeoffment system still needs to be militarized."
"We can refer to the ancient military system and regard the country as a huge army, and the duties of officials at all levels are mainly based on military functions."
Fortunately, Robb had read several books in his previous life. Based on the current actual situation, he quickly had a preliminary structural model.
"Divide the military into different departments, and the powers of each department should be as dispersed as possible, independent of each other, and restrained from each other."
"Create a position that oversees all departments so that I don't have to do everything myself and prevent myself from being exhausted one day."
"The wartime system should be simple and crude. If it is too bloated, it may affect efficiency..."
Robb wrote down the names of the positions one by one on paper, and then wrote down the names of the people he just thought of behind these positions.
Some positions were crossed out, and new ones were added.
As he changed the names, Robb carefully recalled the personalities of those people and thought about what positions they were suitable for.
For example, Maggie's personality and loyalty were suitable for being the captain of the military law team, if the current hesitant Jon was given this position.
Robb dared not think about how many people would be let go.
It would be difficult not to kill Jon at that time.
"Alas, being a king is not something you can enjoy with your hands, otherwise the foundation you have worked hard to build will soon be destroyed."
The former king Robert is an example, he is a hammer king.
He loves fighting, hammers and women all his life.
He threw everything to the prime minister, first as his foster father, then as his good brother, and he didn't care about anything.
When he died, the kingdom naturally fell apart in an instant.
Robb did not expect to establish a system that would last for a thousand years, but at least he wanted to keep the world peaceful for a while longer.
Finally, Robb tore up all the scraps and took out a new piece of paper.
At the top of the paper, Robb wrote two words: The Great Emperor.
Below, Robb wrote two more words: King's Wings.
The Great Emperor is the king, and the ministers are naturally the wings that assist the king.
Then, Robb wrote down more than a dozen positions to make the wings fuller.
