It is sure to quickly defeat the native linen clothing industry in Westeros, form a monopoly, and make a lot of profit.
As for the primitive and backward sackcloth and raw silk industries in Westeros that were destroyed…
Well… that's what he, Jason East, did. What about me, Jason Liu?
Right?
Anyway, Game of Thrones operates under a feudal lord system, and all industries are in the hands of nobles, from the king downward. Those commoners under the lords are basically no different from livestock.
Being able to barely feed themselves with the little money they earn after a lifetime of hard work is already a blessing.
Even if the entire clothing industry in Westeros is wiped out by Jason Liu, it won't make much difference to the farmers who grow food in the dirt. They've always been poor and have little spending power anyway.
Of course, for those petty proletarians in big cities engaged in the garment industry, they will definitely be greatly affected.
However, Jason Liu doesn't care about them.
After all, in Jason Liu's eyes, these people in Westeros are just tools to make a profit. He doesn't feel any real attachment to this world.
Compared to Westeros, dumping industrial products from modern times and selling raw materials from here back to modern world can boost modern world's GDP. Naturally, Jason Liu is very pleased.
To be honest, Jason Liu gets really angry seeing government shamelessly impose all kinds of blockades and sanctions in recent years, wielding the trade stick to prevent the country's rise.
Being able to contribute to his homeland, even in small ways, such as transferring excess production capacity from the world's factory to Westeros and bringing raw materials back, is already a great help to the country.
Of course, it also greatly benefits Jason Liu himself!
He's just lying down and making money!
Thinking about how he'll eventually become the richest man in the world and surpass Bezos, Gates, Musk,... makes him so excited he can hardly contain himself.
After wiping away his drool, Jason Liu shook his head hard—he had been daydreaming again.
Stay low-key!
He didn't want to expose himself.
Our ancestors taught us that making a fortune in silence is the golden rule!
Jason Liu bought thousands of stab-resistant vests, riot helmets, and camouflage uniforms, and shipped 500 sets to the warehouse at the logging site in Westeros.
He temporarily outfitted the newly recruited 500 soldiers in new uniforms, stab-proof suits, and riot helmets to begin training.
Same routine as before—the first step is to train them in formations, teamwork, discipline, and obedience.
After training the first two batches, Jon, Marbu, McCann, and Bard had gradually gained some experience. Now, with a bit of effort, they could quickly get these recruits moving in unison.
In this era of ancient cold-weapon warfare, as long as they had unity and proper formation, Jason Liu didn't see soldiers under the command of other lords as a real threat.
After all, he had issued modern protective equipment—anti-stab and riot helmets. These lightweight safety gear pieces offered protection far superior to the leather armor or even the heavy armor worn by most soldiers.
Not to mention the high-carbon steel swords—ordered from modern suppliers—which were sharp and incredibly tough, far beyond the average iron swords used by Westerosi troops.
With such a massive advantage in weapons, if he still couldn't defeat those backward Westeros soldiers, Jason Liu would find a piece of tofu to smash his head against in shame.
Since weaponry wasn't a problem, Jason Liu placed special emphasis on unity, cooperation, and discipline among his soldiers.
As long as the soldiers were determined and worked together, even when facing an enemy twice their size, he believed there would be no issue defeating them.
Of course, this was all Jason Liu's personal assumption. He didn't yet know how these young soldiers would perform when the time came.
If that's the case, then double the training!
Luckily, these young recruits were very honest and simple. As long as their courage was stirred and training was consistently reinforced, they could form instinctive reactions, and their combat strength would slowly take shape.
Jason Liu left the specific methods up to Jon, McCann, Bud, Marbu, and the others.
As his troop numbers increased, Jason Liu decided to send his two bodyguards, Chris and Rubin, to the barracks to help train the recruits.
In the future, Chris and Rubin would likely serve as captains like Bud, McCann, and Marbu.
It was enough to keep the tall and strong Dicken by his side, along with the clever and witty Kent.
In fact, when Jason Liu traveled around Westeros, apart from Dicken, he was usually accompanied by a team of ten cavalry guards.
Hadn't he been traveling back and forth between the winter market town and the logging field in a carriage, surrounded by over a dozen cavalry guards?
That's just how cautious Jason Liu was!
Safety first—life matters!
Jason Liu had been shuttling back and forth for a while. On one side, he guided McCann in Westeros. On the other, Bud and Marbu led a small group of soldiers to villages in the northern territories and the Riverlands, promoting the benefits and treatment of working at the logging farm.
Of course, Jason Liu wouldn't pass up using the powerful Stark family name. After all, Eddard Stark's reputation for honor and righteousness carried great weight in the North and the Riverlands!
Didn't Lady Catelyn and Robb already promise he could recruit workers freely?
It would be foolish not to use the Stark name!
He believed Winterfell was already aware of him recruiting under the Stark banner, and since neither Lady Catelyn nor Robb had stopped him, it meant they tacitly approved.
Thanks to the income from the second month of timber sales at the logging farm, Jason Liu had sent Lena and the others to Winterfell again. Compared to the previous time, this income had risen to 7,000 gold dragons.
With such massive profits, both Lady Catelyn and Robb had no choice but to accept it.
After all, Mr. Jason was too generous!
The monthly profit of the logging farm now amounted to nearly half of Winterfell's total income. Of course, the Stark family would fully support Mr. Jason in expanding the logging operation and cutting and selling even more wood!
Thus, the Stark family silently approved the use of their name to recruit workers. Combined with Jason Liu offering lumberjacks 10 silver stags per month—an exceptionally high wage—it was a strong incentive.
Lumberjacks were even allowed to bring their families to live at the logging farm, with free meals provided for the entire household.
As a result, recruitment progressed rapidly. Within a short time, thousands of people had signed up to work as lumberjacks.
Because the logging camp still lacked permanent housing, the newly arrived workers and their families had to temporarily set up tents near the site.
