Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep

Chapter 56 Population Transfer

Dani suppressed her thoughts, and after the blush on her face was suppressed, she spoke:

"What do you think about the execution method of these 163 slave owners?"

"Your Majesty, I think Prime Minister Jack's suggestion is very appropriate. It will not offend the slave owners to death, and at the same time it has enough starting force, and it can also collect a large amount of money, killing three birds with one stone."

Barristan persuaded Dany to adopt Jack's method. Although Barristan had never managed a country, he had seen pigs run even if he had not eaten pork when he was in the royal meeting before.

To put it bluntly, this group of slave owners is no different from the nobles in Westeros.

And if the monarch wants to maintain his rule, he cannot rely solely on military force. Political means, such as winning their support, are also particularly important.

If Dany really gets angry and kills everyone, then let alone winning them over, if she does not rebel immediately, even the Unsullied will be powerful.

Dany pursed her lips, "But the new free people are very vocal, I'm afraid if we don't kill them."

Jack raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt, the new free people call you mother, then they are your children, I can love my children, but I can't spoil them."

"You can't do whatever they want, they are the people, you are the king, everything must be based on your will, you can make their lives better, that is their blessing."

"If it doesn't work, give a portion of the confiscated wealth to these new free people."

Dany thought for a moment, and finally felt that what Jack said made sense.

Although he wanted to nail the slave owners to death and then seize their property.

But what Barristan said made sense, and the method Jack gave was also reasonable, there was no reason to act on his own.

"Okay, then do as Prime Minister Jack said, and distribute a portion of the confiscated wealth to the new freedmen."

"In addition, select some of the freedmen to serve as low-level officials in the 13 administrative districts. Does it make sense for you? If you have any different opinions, you can raise them."

"It doesn't make sense for us. It's all up to the queen." Mando said directly.

Their position as administrators has not been completely established, and they have almost no say now.

Later, Dany said some dispensable things. Obviously, she knew nothing about how to be a good queen.

But she is learning slowly. The first step is to be good at accepting the opinions of her ministers.

This even made Jack feel that he was the kind of powerful minister in the ancient drama, who was so bad that he was pus-filled, and then waited for the male protagonist to appear and put himself in jail.

When the court meeting ended, the True Dragon Pyramid announced 163 slave owners with heinous crimes.

According to Jack's request, a large number of literate people were sent to read out the crimes of these slave owners in the 13 administrative districts.

Then the Unsullied quickly went out to capture these slave owners. After learning that they were "on the list", these slave owners all cursed.

But these were futile, and they were still taken to the square for trial.

Because they didn't know whether they would be executed or their property would be confiscated as Jack said before, the slave owners began to panic the moment they arrived at the square.

Then Mantuo came in front of everyone and began to read out their crimes.

In order to show the authenticity, Mantuo also listed the crimes committed by each of them and the punishment they should receive.

"According to the True Dragon Code, you all have to be beheaded, but Her Majesty the Queen is kind-hearted, so you will be given a chance to live, and only confiscate 70% of your property as a punishment."

Then Mantuo asked loudly if there were still people who were dissatisfied, and they could boldly put forward their own ideas.

However, everyone was silent, and obviously had tacitly agreed to this method of handling.

Jack looked at this scene and shook his head in disappointment.

Unfortunately, no one came out to jump around, and didn't even give a chance to search the house.

Afterwards, Jack personally led people to inspect the property of these slave owners to prevent them from hiding their property and getting away with it.

It was not until the evening that Jack finished his work.

A total of three million gold dragons were confiscated this time, but unfortunately there were not many real nobles among these slave owners, most of them were slave traders.

This also indirectly reflects the terrifying deterrent power of the great masters in Meereen.

Even though Jack promised to vote anonymously, the free people were still worried about being exposed, which would cause the revenge of the great masters.

Jack turned over the roster in his hand with some disappointment, which recorded in detail who reported which great master or slave owner or noble.

Originally, he planned to use these to threaten some people to surrender, but it did not play the role that Jack imagined.

"Oh, it's annoying, there are so many things." complained.

Jack was going to find Dany to "vent" his dissatisfaction. She was busy all day, but she was free.

The next morning, Mando went to the Prime Minister's Tower.

At this time, Jack was sleeping. There was no court meeting today, so he could sleep in a little.

Unfortunately, he was woken up by Vitelli in the middle of his lazy sleep, saying that Deputy Prime Minister Mando wanted to see him.

Jack had no choice but to get up, put on his clothes, washed up, and then met Mando.

"Sir Jack, the 1.8 million gold royals collected this time have all been deposited into the treasury.

According to your instructions, 180,000 gold royals will be divided into silver coins and distributed to the free people."

"Yes." Jack nodded, and then said, "I will pay another 100,000 gold royals myself, and say that it is an extra subsidy from Her Majesty the Queen.

Remember, you must clearly state the origin of the money. In addition, the Meereenese also have it. Just say that Her Majesty the Queen has stated that from now on there will be no distinction between new and old freemen, only citizens of Meereen. "

Jack generously took out 100,000 gold dragons to help Daenerys win the hearts of the people.

Of course, these 100,000 gold dragons were not paid by Jack himself, but it can also be said that it was Jack's own money.

After all, after Jack embezzled the money, it was Jack's own money.

Three million gold dragons were confiscated, Jack took one million himself, and the administrators who were responsible for assisting in the inventory of property took 200,000.

Among them, Mando himself took as much as 70,000, which shows how wise it was for him to spend all his money to give gifts to Jack.

In short, a confiscation operation made the bureaucratic group headed by Jack eat a lot of oil.

"By the way!" As if thinking of something, Mando quickly took out a list.

"Lord Jack, this is the information about the Lazar people you want."

Jack was stunned when he heard it, "You are so efficient at work? ? "

Mantuo waved her hands quickly, "It will take two days to count the total population. Since you are anxious to get the information of the Laza people, we have counted the number and information of the Laza people first.

But don't worry, the work has not been delayed. We have a backup of the information of the Laza people. We can continue to count. There is no delay at all. "

I found a very good novel and I am addicted to it. I will update these. I can't control myself. I want to read the novel. Don't worry, I can finish it today and update it as usual tomorrow.
