The journey of film and television world is endless

Back in his room, Liu Yuan took out a gray scholar's robe from his space and put it on. It was still that drab color, but anyone with a discerning eye could clearly see that it was made of rather expensive material.

He stepped out of the practice field, and the servants who passed by all bowed to him. He was now becoming more and more accustomed to the life of a nobleman. Usually, when he wasn't at the Citadel, he would handle some affairs here, and the original family residence had become an external office building.

Since Earl Adrian returned to Crab Island, the Setigar family's business and property in Oldtown had been completely assigned to Liu Yuan, as a family inheritance. According to Westeros tradition, it could already be considered a separate family. Liu Yuan could establish a branch of the Setigar family in Oldtown and even change his surname to become a completely new family, but he felt it was not necessary for the time being, after all, Setigar was also a well-known family with hundreds of years of heritage. As for the family's foreign affairs members and stewards, they could choose to stay or leave, and surprisingly, many were willing to follow this young master!

Liu Yuan entered the study. The people in the room immediately stood up and saluted: "Good day, Master Galon!"

Liu Yuan waved his hand and told them to sit down: "Hello everyone! Has anything happened in the past two days?"

Roddy spoke: "That's right, Master Galon. This is the financial report summarizing the various properties for last month, please take a look. According to the heads of several workshops, they are short of manpower and cannot accept more orders. It would be a pity to give up like this. They hope to hire more people to expand production, especially perfume and rum, which are always popular items in short supply."

Liu Yuan said: "According to the reports and analysis from major trading ports, our products already occupy nearly 20% of the market share in the same type of market. This number is enough. If there is more, it will squeeze the vested interests of other major forces and may cause unnecessary trouble. There is no need to make enemies for the family for this little money. Temporarily maintain the current production capacity, so that we still have room for price increases. Yuri, what is the progress of the shipyard?"

A short, fat middle-aged man stood up and said: "Reporting to Master Galon, our Sea Swallow fishing boat has also been very well received in the market, and existing orders have been scheduled for two years from now. As for the building ship you arranged, it is 90% complete. The hull has been built and the internal outfitting is in progress. It is expected to be launched in a month."

Liu Yuan: "Very good, test it at sea as soon as it is completed. Don't delay! When I return to Crab Island next time, I will take it. You Lun, are the things I asked you to order ready?"

You Lun, a tall, thin man, stood up and said: "According to your instructions, everything is ready. All the pure glass produced and the installation craftsmen are ready to board the ship at any time. There are also the hired chefs and the spices you prepared. Golden wine from Arbor and Wuliangye from our own winery have also been prepared, 100 barrels."

Liu Yuan nodded and said: "Very good, after the fleet returns, take them to Crab Island first. As for how to arrange them, discuss it with Chief Steward Balin and implement it according to the specific situation. I have written to inform my father, you inform them and let the craftsmen work hard for me then. Don't delay Becot's wedding, and everyone will receive three times the bonus after returning. Bick, the weapon installation on the Morning Star is up to you, let the guards familiarize themselves with the situation on the ship as soon as possible."

A taciturn young man stood up and said: "Yes, Master. I obey your orders."

Liu Yuan said helplessly: "Sigh~ Bick, I have told you long ago that you are no longer slaves. Don't call me master in the future, call me boss, if it doesn't work, call me young master like them. Next, I will stay in the Citadel for a while and prepare a wedding gift for Becot myself. If there is nothing important, don't bother me, discuss it yourself. If you really can't handle it, go directly to the Citadel to find me. Okay, that's all for today, go get busy." Then he waved his hand and drove these people out.

In these five years, Liu Yuan established two armed forces exclusively for himself, the "Morning Star Guard" and the "Brocade-Clad Guard", composed of 400 Unsullied and 200 trained orphans respectively.

He followed the model of the Embroidered Uniform Guard of the Ming Dynasty, and selected a group of orphans he had taken in over the years for training. Basically, it followed the selection model of the Ming Dynasty, mainly training them in skills such as reconnaissance, disguise, lurking, and assassination. Some talented children would be taught as attendants.

As for those Unsullied, they were all bought from the free city states, and the kind masters of Astapor were really dark in their pricing. The average price of an Unsullied was 67 to 73 gold dragons, and the key was that they did not sell them individually, at least 100 were sold at a time. It wasn't that he couldn't afford to buy or raise them, the key was that slave trade was prohibited in Westeros, and even slavery was not allowed. What's more, you are raising so many armed forces in other people's territory. What do you want to do? Even the Hightower family, who have a good relationship, will definitely not tolerate it.

So Liu Yuan only bought 400 Unsullied, some of whom were scattered in the fleet as guards. He asked all the Unsullied to re-sign a long-term employment agreement, and Liu Yuan spent a sum of money to redeem their slave status for them. These Unsullied need to work for Liu Yuan for 15 years, and after the work contract expires, Liu Yuan will also give them a severance fee of 20 gold dragons, all of which are written into the agreement.

There is a happy event on Crab Island, which is Becot's wedding in two months. The woman is one year older than him, Jolee Cywen from Cywen Town in the North, she is the daughter of Earl Mackie Cywen. The Cywen family is one of the Stark family's most friendly and powerful vassals. Cywen Town is located next to the Kingsroad, only half a day away from Winterfell. Being able to marry the Cywen family is very beneficial to the Setigar family's expansion of contacts in the North.

After the defeat at the Trident River, Earl Adrian was guarded by Earl Mackie Cywen, and they had some friendship along the way. He knew that the lords of the North were not very wealthy, so he prepared a betrothal gift that Earl Cywen could not refuse. Weapons and equipment sufficient to arm one hundred and fifty elite soldiers, two thousand gold dragons in cash, and living supplies worth one thousand gold dragons. After more than half a year of communication and negotiation, Earl Cywen has agreed.

Becot took ten knights and one hundred family guards, escorting these betrothal gifts to the North to welcome the bride. Liu Yuan planned to send some craftsmen to decorate Shell Castle properly.

Liu Yuan prepared to make a set of armor for the Earl and his son himself. He even prepared the template, which was improved according to the Cancer Gold Cloth. When not worn, it is a golden crab, which also conforms to the family's coat of arms. Now there are only a few parts left, and the two sets of armor will be completed.
