Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep

Chapter 51: Sucking Full

"Money? I thought you would ask for something else." Dani blinked. She really thought Jack would propose a new posture or something.

After all, Jack had too many flower jobs, which she hated and desired at the same time.

"I'm short of money, to be honest. Not only do I have nearly 7,000 Unsullied people under my command, but there are also a large number of crew members waiting for me to support them. I'm poor."

Children who cry are fed by milk, especially Dany's, who is extremely rich and extremely delicious.

"Then how much do you want? There are many places to spend money next, and I don't have much to spare. I even gave you my life, so you can't deduct all of it from me."

This sentence directly made Jack, who was in the sage state, a little embarrassed. If he had known better, he would not have done that shot in the morning, and now he is a little embarrassed to ask for money.

"Then I don't want the money. Give me the high-level slaves in Meereen and use these high-level slaves to pay for the money."

Dany looked calm on the surface, but she was secretly happy in her heart. She knew clearly who her supporters were and who her enemies were.

After Meereen loses the slave trade and olive trees, the economy will definitely decline for a period of time, this is inevitable.

Therefore, those who can become teachers, clerks, bed slaves, doctors, and priests after selling themselves are not her allies.

These people have the conditions to live a prosperous life, so naturally they will not be happy to stay in Meereen and suffer poverty, so it is better to sell them all for money. Now that Jack has taken the initiative, it saves a lot of time.

"Okay then, let's use these high-level slaves in exchange. Do you want to take these people away?"

"Take it away. I have chosen a small island in the south as a docking point for the fleet. I need the help of some senior slaves who can read and write." Jack revealed a little about his situation.

"Well, when I come back, I will ask someone to count the high-level slaves. You can take these high-level slaves away at any time. So, what can you do to help me get through the early stage?"

Jack's hand squeezed the soft decompression tool, and then he provided Dani with several suggestions.

“The first is the issue of governance in Meereen. We need a simple and practical bureaucracy to rule Meereen.

So I divided Meereen into 13 special zones, which are managed by zones. If we don’t have talents, we will choose them from the local nobles of Meereen. "

"Wait a minute, those nobles almost hate us, how can they help us willingly?"

Jack then briefly told Dany his plan, but omitted the details of the half-million bribe he had received.

After listening to this, Dany had a new understanding of Jack's political methods, but she still asked a little uneasily: "Are the eleven nobles you selected really reliable?"

“We don’t need to think about whether they are reliable, what we need to do is how to make them reliable.

And you can rest assured that once they take office as governor of the SAR, they will be labeled as Queen's Party. They have no choice but to rely on you.

And you underestimate the power of power over people's hearts. Human greed is like a rolling stone on a high mountain. Once it starts, it cannot be stopped. "

"What about the Imperial Council? If the power is delegated to them and they collect taxes and manage it, then the Imperial Council will be of little significance."

Jack shook hands and said, "The Imperial Council itself is meaningless. I suggest canceling the Imperial Council and establishing a round table conference.

A round table of fourteen members then took over the functions of the royal council.

To put it simply, the official positions of the Imperial Council were set to two positions: chief and deputy, and the power of seven people was distributed to fourteen people. There was no change in essence.

This not only disperses power, but also attracts the eleven nobles, who are trying to get into the round table. "

Jack's idea is very simple. Divide the seven official positions of the Royal Council into left and right. For example, his position as Prime Minister can be divided into Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister.

As for whether his rights will be challenged by the deputy prime minister, Jack doesn't care. The strength of his own power is the basis for protecting his power.

"In addition, there is no need to rush to fill the positions of these fourteen people. First choose the seven people you trust to serve as senior officials. The remaining seven positions with relatively less power can be completely released and let them see the performance of other people to make them crazy. Juan, you are reaping the benefits."

Daenerys looked at Jack in surprise, and then they kissed passionately for two minutes. Jack's method was so good.

This is not Westeros. She can set up a round table without any hindrance. The power of the ministers is divided, which naturally makes it easier for her to control.

Coupled with the position of the consul of the 13th Special Zone, she can completely win over a group of nobles loyal to her, directly realizing the creation of a bureaucracy from scratch.

Danni wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, changed her sitting position, straddled Jack's lap, and asked excitedly: "What about the economy? Do you have any good ideas?"

According to Jack's method, the management problems of Meereen can basically be solved, but the economic problems have not been solved.

"The economy is a bit complicated. We definitely won't be able to solve it in a short time. We can only wait for the grape vines and olive trees to grow back and make money by relying on wine and olive oil."

Hearing Jack's words, Danni's little face immediately started to praise, but Jack's next words made Danni happy again.

“Although wine and olive oil are gone, there are other ways to intervene.”

"The first is the arena. The arena will remain open, but we can use the reason of providing security for the Unsullied to ask the owner of the arena to give up 30% of the profits.

Then we control the opening betting of the arena, for example, from time to time we will bring out a newcomer with championship potential and let him challenge the old strongman, and we will make money based on the odds.

Not all gladiators like to be free and be ordinary people. On the contrary, most gladiators are eager for the cheers of the audience and the bonus after victory.

So gladiators are not necessarily slaves, but anyone who voluntarily participates can become gladiators! "

Jack's first solution was to continue operating the arena. Many gladiators had adapted to the life in the arena. They were eager for blood and fighting, the honor of victory and generous bonuses.

Gladiators were not necessarily slaves, but could be anyone. In other words, any free people who were short of money or eager to fight could sign a contract with the arena to become a gladiator.

So Jack could set a high winning streak bonus to attract free people to participate in the fight, and then make a lot of money by operating behind the scenes.

As the prime minister and the queen's right hand, he could arrange this matter personally, and the bribes he could receive from it were definitely not low.

As for corruption and bribery, although Jack had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run.

In ancient times, there was Qing Heshen, a minister of great rank, and now there is Zhao Dehan, who does not spend a penny. These are all Jack's "good examples".
