Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep

Chapter 70 You underestimated him

At night, the heat dissipated, but Meereen was still brightly lit, and people were walking and strolling everywhere.

After Jack returned to the Prime Minister's Tower, Vitelier ran over immediately.

"Brother, the deputy prime minister's people came today and sent several boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, and a lot of porcelain."

"Take me to see." Jack didn't expect Mando to be so efficient. After lunch in the morning, the things were delivered in the afternoon.

A total of five large boxes of things were delivered, about 50,000 gold dragons. It seems that Mando had understood Jack's meaning during the dinner.

They can embezzle at most half, but half of the embezzled half must be handed over to Jack, otherwise no one will be embezzled.

In addition, Daenerys granted Jack the right to govern the second district without paying taxes, so Jack can get 100,000 gold dragons at once.

The prosperity of the second district is second only to the central district directly under Dany's jurisdiction, and the tax revenue every three months is about 40,000 gold dragons.

According to Jack's speculation, the tax revenue of the central district under Dany's control must be 60,000 to 70,000 gold dragons.

According to this calculation, Meereen's tax revenue is 400,000 every three months, and 1.6 million gold dragons a year.

But unfortunately, such high tax revenue cannot last for a year. After the construction of Kesser Pass and the artificial canal is completed, the tax revenue will definitely be cut in half.

Perhaps after the salt land is replanted with olive trees and grapevines, Meereen's fiscal revenue can be restored to one million gold dragons a year.

It seems that one million gold dragons are a lot, but there are more places to spend money.

Let alone other things, 3,000 Meereen garrisons, 18,000 freemen, and 9,000 Unsullied. It costs a lot of money to feed these 30,000 troops.

In addition, Meereen has no slaves now, and the salaries of servants in the Great Pyramid are not small.

There are other miscellaneous expenses. It would be good if one-tenth of the tax revenue can be left in the end.

What's more, with so much money, Dany may only get half of it in the end.

After checking that there was no problem with the property sent by Mando, Jack ordered his servants to send the five boxes of gold and silver to the warehouse he bought at the dock.

In order to send the bribes and "tributes" received back to Atlantis more conveniently, Jack bought a large warehouse directly at the dock.

Every time the Giant Wave Merchants traveled to and from Meereen, they would bring the money back to Atlantis.

And the servants and guards of the Prime Minister's Tower were all Atlanteans and were trustworthy.

At the same time, Atlantis had formulated very strict criminal laws and surveillance for corruption and bribery. The Seagull Organization was a supervisory department that Jack had just established.

The joint responsibility system not only caught the Son of the Harpy in Meereen, but also caught Varys's little bird.

At that time, Jack suddenly felt that the establishment of the intelligence department needed to be quick, because no matter what era, intelligence occupies a very important position.

Therefore, Jack formed the Seagull, which is divided into two departments.

They are the White Gull that monitors Atlantis, and the Gray Gull that monitors the whole world.

Due to the particularity of this department, both departments were established by Jack himself.

In order to build a good framework, Jack racked his brains to recall the organizational frameworks of Jinyiwei, Heibingtai, and Bad People in the history of his previous life and novels.

Finally, he got the framework of Seagull before his hair fell out.

The highest level is the Seagull Commander-in-Chief.

Then there are two White Gull Commanders and two Gray Gull Commanders.

Five official positions are set up at the level of principal and deputy, a total of ten people, who are the central power controllers of the Seagull Organization.

Next are the first-level to third-level Seagulls, and the third-level Seagull is the lowest level.

The first-level Seagull is responsible for towns with a population of more than 300,000.

The second-level Seagull is responsible for towns with a population of more than 200,000.

The third-level Seagull is responsible for towns with a population of more than 100,000, and those with less than 100,000 are also under the jurisdiction of the third-level Seagull.

And finally, there are the thousand households, hundred households, and ten households under these levels of Seagulls.

The ten households manage the battalions and squads, with five members in the battalion and three members in the squad.

The total number of battalions and squads under each ten household cannot exceed three.

These are all formally organized members. In addition to them, a large number of informants need to be developed.

Informants are not organized and their identities are kept secret. They will only receive rewards after providing information.

In this way, the basic framework of Seagull is established. The next step is to select people, build the framework, and slowly fill it with flesh and blood.

Jack gave the task of the commander-in-chief of Seagull to Viteli.

This little girl has grown rapidly under the guidance of various teachers. Her little head is no longer as stupid as before, and her whole person reveals a smart breath.

Although the little girl has never been exposed to intelligence work, Jack has given her the framework and ideas, and she just needs to learn slowly.

Varys was a slave and an actor at the beginning. Didn't he also weave a big web covering the world and was called the octopus spider?

And Viteli is much more reliable than the octopus spider. After all, she grew up drinking the milk given by Jack since she was eleven years old. Needless to say, the relationship between the two is natural.

In addition, Jack rarely goes to the battlefield now, and the long sword tsunami that helped him a lot in the past is now just a decoration.

Jack not only had Tsunami, but also two Valyrian swords.

One of them was cut off by Tsunami when Jack was testing it, and then it was melted into five spear heads to make five spears.

Finally, Jack officially gave Vitriol the Valyrian Dragon King Armor and Tsunami that he had obtained before.

The meaning of this set of armor and long sword is just like Shang Fang's sword, which is a symbol of Jack's power. As long as he is wearing armor and holding a long sword, it means that Jack is here in person.

Jack's full trust moved the little girl to tears and made her study even harder.

At this time, in the Gru family mansion, Ivan was complaining to Mantu that Jack was a vampire.

He had just learned that his father's corrupt golden dragon had been handed over half to Jack Poseidon.

There was no anger on Mantu's face at all, "Evan, do you know why we have to give Jack as much as he says he wants?"

Ivan shook his head, "I don't know, but even if he wants half, we can give him less. He doesn't know how much tax we collect."

"Haha." Mantuo sneered and motioned to Ivan to pour him a glass of wine.

Ivan immediately understood what his father meant, picked up the wine bottle and filled the mando.

"Yes, it seems that you have indeed learned something from being with Jack. At least your eyesight is much better than before."

After taking a sip of wine to moisten his throat, Mantuo continued:

"Son, you underestimate Jack Poseidon too much. Daenerys has also met him, often even. Do you think she can think of all the policies of Meereen today?"

Ivan's face froze and he said weakly: "Isn't this what Her Majesty the Queen proposed at the court meeting? We all saw it."
