Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep

Chapter 67 Ivan's Doubts

And Dany believed that there must be many such incidents. All those who were hurt were potential reserve personnel for the Sons of the Harpy.

The more Dany thought about it, the uglier her face looked. She suddenly remembered that Jack had told her at the beginning that the people who suffered the most after the fall of Meereen were the original free people of Meereen.

The nobles would hide in their own pyramids to avoid the burning, killing and looting after the fall of the city.

The slaves were poor and were the objects of liberation, so naturally no one would plunder them.

Only the original free people of Meereen would suffer a huge impact. They would not only be plundered by the slave army following her, but also by the slaves of Meereen.

At that time, Jack gave a suggestion, which was to take out some money to make up for their losses, so as to reduce the number of the Sons of the Harpy.

But at that time, Dany felt that the original free people of Meereen also oppressed slaves in the past, so she rejected Jack's proposal.

"Take him down for interrogation first." Dany said to Barristan.

Barristan took the man away upon hearing this. Recently, a small number of Sons of the Harpy have begun to move around at night.

This has caused some trouble to the public security work in Meereen, but it has not caused any big waves.

Now that a living Son of the Harpy has been caught, Barristan will naturally not miss this opportunity and will interrogate him thoroughly.

After Barristan left, Dany immediately asked Missandei to call Jack over.

At this time, Jack was sitting at a custom-made desk in the Prime Minister's Tower.

He held a homemade stone dumbbell in his left hand and looked through Meereen's taxes for this month with his right hand.

Because Meereen is a city-state rather than a country, taxes are collected every three months.

Among them, the taxes of the first and second districts are directly handed over to Dany and Jack.

The taxes of the third to thirteenth districts are the responsibility of eleven administrators headed by Mandor.

After they collected them, they handed them over to Jack, and then Jack handed them over together with the taxes of the second district under his jurisdiction.

Including the second district under Jack's jurisdiction, the taxes this time are as high as 200,000 gold dragons.

Because Jack proposed the method of work-for-relief, the free people of Meereen had money to pay taxes, without having to use physical goods and unpaid labor instead of coins.

So they could collect 200,000 gold dragons, but this number is definitely not a lot.

This number is somewhat different from Jack's calculation, and the error is even a bit large!

Originally, according to Jack's calculation, the tax revenue of the entire Meereen should be around 300,000 gold dragons after the opening of the arena, but now it is only 200,000.

It's easy to know where the missing 100,000 gold dragons went.

But Jack was not angry. In the world of Game of Thrones, corruption is very normal. In the original book, Daario, who collected taxes, even embezzled half of the taxes.

And the reason why Mando and other administrative officials did not embezzle more than half this time was to test Jack's attitude and Daenerys' tolerance.

Jack touched his chin and did not choose to find Mando, but was ready to see the sincerity of Mando and others.

Because he just remembered that Mando said that he had prepared a banquet tomorrow, at the Lantis Hot Pot Restaurant.

Dong Dong Dong---knocks on the door rang.

Jack never worked in the main hall of the Prime Minister's Tower, but in the office he chose. Usually, Ivan would wait at the door.

"Come in."

Ivan pushed the door open and entered, "Prime Minister, Miss Missandei said that His Majesty would like you to come over."

Ivan's expression remained unchanged, but he was a little curious about where Viteli had gone. She had obviously followed the Prime Minister in.

"I know, wait a moment."

Ivan closed the door and said to Missandei outside, "Wait a moment, Miss Missandei, the Prime Minister will be out soon."

In the room, Jack patted Viteli's head.

Then Viteli came out from under the table and jumped twice lightly.

"I'm so tired, my legs are numb from squatting."

Jack laughed, "Next time I'll put a layer of fur on the floor so that you can squat under it."

Viteli stuck out her tongue, "I'll go back to practice swordsmanship first."

Since coming to Meereen, Jack has never forgotten Viteli's position, a capable and capable female secretary!

He hired the best swordsmanship teacher and teacher in Slaver Bay for Viteli.

So Viteli had at least eight classes every day to learn swordsmanship and knowledge.

Her progress was also very obvious. At least she was not as stupid as when she was taken in by Jack.

Viteli opened the door and left, and Jack followed her and left, heading for the True Dragon Tower.

Ivan looked at the backs of Viteli and Jack, and looked back at the office in confusion.

But he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurried to prepare a parasol for Jack.

Jack was not a hypocritical person. Every time he went out, he was accompanied by many people, including guards, maids, and servants.

Jack soon arrived at the main hall of the True Dragon Tower, and Dany was frowning at this time.

There was no one around, so Jack started to tease, "Hey, what's wrong with our Mother of Dragons?

Someone, hang my coat on Her Majesty's mouth, it's so sticky that you can hang salted fish on it."

All the people present were Dany's personal maids, and they all knew Jack's temper, so naturally no one dared to move.

"If you say that again, I won't let you use it tonight. Really, can't you be more serious? The dagger of the Son of the Harpy is on our necks!"

"What you said sounds even more indecent, okay." Jack's mouth twitched, you said that I'm not serious.

"And what do you mean by the Sons of the Harpy are already on our necks?"

Dani also realized that she had said something vulgar inadvertently.

Her face turned red and she said, "It's the Sons of the Harpy, the kind of assassins who wear golden masks and assassinate us everywhere!"

Jack's mouth twitched. Seeing your nervous and excited look, I thought you saw a mermaid. I was ready to laugh.

"Sons of the Harpy, what are you afraid of?" Jack said speechlessly, "Although they have begun to appear in Meereen recently, they will definitely not become a big deal."

Jack is very confident because he found that the system of collective responsibility has a very high degree of control over ordinary people. The free people of Meereen are all trapped in the system of collective responsibility.

Especially when not reporting a crime together will lead to conviction, and reporting not only innocence but also bounty.

These assassins who had long pinned Daenerys to Meereen in the original drama have not dared to show up until now.

It's no wonder that Jack doesn't take the Sons of the Harpy seriously. There is really no big threat.

Seeing that Jack still didn't care, Dany immediately told him her guess and worries.

"Your previous guess was correct. The original free people of Meereen have really become potential reserve personnel for the Sons of the Harpy!"
