Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: A Red Circle Three-Year Plan Five-Year Expansion

The Hightower Family brought five thousand sets of armor, two hundred thousand gold dragons, one thousand sailors, and a large amount of war supplies.

Coupled with the tenants who were sent, the population on Bloodstone Isle instantly surged to thirteen thousand.

The next morning, in the tent.

Aegon carefully studied the map of Bloodstone Isle and finally drew a red circle about a hundred miles east of the port.

There was indeed no highland on Bloodstone Isle that was as easy to defend and difficult to attack as the Lango Highlands.

Aegon could only choose a flat area near a water source to build a city.

An inland city would be responsible for production, and a port city would be responsible for trade.

These two cities would be enough to support the development of Bloodstone Isle.

Aegon took out a parchment booklet. The first page read: "Three-Year Plan, Five-Year Expansion."

It was clearly a planning booklet.

Development is never an overnight affair; it requires the accumulation of time.

And for Aegon, eight years was already quite a bit of time.

Aegon had to accumulate a considerable fortune within eight years.

Considering Viserys's attitude, he even had to be prepared for "armed struggle" at any time!

"Someone."

Aegon called out.

"Have Ser Aric, Sir Klaken, and Ser Ent come see me."

Aegon gave the order, and the three quickly entered the tent.

"Your Highness, what are your instructions?" Kraken asked.

"Ser Aric, take all the tenants to this location." Aegon pointed to the red circle on the map.

"This place is near a water source and the terrain is flat. I plan to build an inner city here, called: True Dragon City, the city where the True Dragon resides!"

Saying that, Aegon took out a blueprint he had prepared earlier and handed it to Aric.

"I have already made the plans. I don't require you to build the city, just lay the foundation for me, understand?"

Kraken brought six hundred tenant households, and even counting women, children, and the elderly, there were only a little over two thousand people.

Aegon wasn't crazy enough to think he could build a giant city covering 49 square kilometers with just six hundred tenant households!

"Tell the tenants that the land will be divided according to the number of people, and each household will receive three mu of wasteland per person.

This land will belong to them forever, but private buying and selling or leasing is not allowed.

Also, within three months, we will provide food, farming tools, and seeds.

If there is no grain growing in the fields after three months, then just wait to die."

Aegon spoke a lot, but Aric only grasped one key point.

"Your Highness, are you sure you want to call it True Dragon City?" Aric's mouth twitched.

"Otherwise?" Aegon sneered, "Not only will I build True Dragon City, but I will also rename Bloodstone Isle to Dragonstone!"

"Your Highness, you are truly talented in writing. Dragonstone is truly a good name, and True Dragon City, the city where the True Dragon resides!"

Kraken clapped his hands and laughed, praising Aegon's superb literary talent.

Aegon also laughed heartily.

In fact, he had no literary talent; he was just trying to express his stance while also annoying Rhaenyra.

"Once there are enough people, the construction of True Dragon City can officially begin. I want to build it with white marble and plant violets along the roads.

After all, the whole world knows that the House Targaryen has silver-white hair and violet eyes."

"Hahahaha."

Kraken understood Aegon's sarcasm.

"I will release the news later and tell everyone how beautiful True Dragon City will be in the future, and tell them the origin of the white marble and violets!"

"Haha, well then, I'll leave this matter to you. Officially announce my arrival to the whole world!"

"Don't worry, I've already prepared everything!" Kraken smiled confidently, clearly having made all the preparations.

Aegon nodded and looked at Aric.

"What are you still standing there for?" Aegon asked curiously, "If you have any better suggestions, you can also bring them up."

Hearing this, Aric quickly shook his head.

"I have no objections, Your Highness, I am just worried about His Majesty..."

"Go quickly, don't worry. There are four Dragons on the island. What could be the problem with calling it Dragonstone and True Dragon City?"

Aegon waved his hand nonchalantly. He was the Duke of the Stepstones, so what was wrong with renaming an island?

If Viserys interfered, not allowing Aegon to rename Bloodstone Isle, and not allowing Aegon to build castles and cities named after "True Dragon", what could he do?

Leaving aside whether Viserys had this authority, even if he did, Aegon didn't care.

Although it was Viserys who had enfeoffed Aegon as the Duke of the Stepstones, didn't it actually depend on Aegon to start a war and seize it from various forces?

Since it was territory he had fought for himself, why should outsiders point fingers?

Seeing Aegon so confident, Aric no longer tried to persuade him and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Aegon seemed to remember something and immediately called out to Aric, who was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, there are two more things I forgot to give you. Take them."

Aegon found two more parchment booklets and threw them to Aric, which were "The Difference and Transformation Between Civilians and Soldiers" and "How to Grow Crops and Manage Infrastructure Simultaneously."

"I spent three days sorting these things out. Be sure to follow the requirements on them, otherwise I will hold you accountable!"

Aegon's expression was serious. Although it only took him three days to compile these two booklets, the theories on them had been verified over many years.

Having lived in King's Landing for thirteen years, Aegon, in addition to reading, studying, and practicing martial arts, also squeezed out a lot of time for research.

Now he had many ways to make money, such as salt, sea cucumber powder, and soap.

Before 120 AC, Aemond had not tamed Vhagar, and being in King's Landing, Aegon naturally did not dare to mess around.

But today was different from the past.

The Greens, led by Aegon, had obtained the strongest existing Dragon, Vhagar.

Correspondingly, the Black Party, led by Rhaenyra, had lost Vhagar!

With one gaining and one losing, the Greens had already leaped to become the strongest faction in the Seven Kingdoms!

In addition, Aegon was now far from King's Landing, and some methods far exceeding this era could also take the stage!
