Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep

"Because they want more." Marty sneered.

"Do you think they want to lower the price of Poseidon Brew? They want the recipe for Poseidon Brew!"

There is no doubt that Marty has a more thorough understanding of human nature, while Dono is a little less clear in comparison.

It is also because of this that Jack made Marty the spokesperson and branch president of the Chamber of Commerce in Meereen, while Dono became Marty's secretary and assistant.

Marty continued: "They want to withdraw from the Chamber of Commerce, just because they want me to come forward to stay, and then ask me for the formula of Poseidon Brew.

If I'm weak, they'll stick to the recipe.

If I'm tough, they'll do the next best thing and ask me to lower the price. "

Marty even figured out their thoughts, just two moves back and forth.

But they made a miscalculation. The gap between Poseidon Wine and other alcoholic beverages was too great.

Even if they unite to boycott Poseidon Brew, other trading city-states will still buy it.

What's ridiculous is that His Majesty the Poseidon's trial operation in Meereen gave them the illusion that Poseidon Brew must be sold in Meereen.

"Then what should we do? Lower the price? Or stop selling it in Meereen?" Dono asked.

Marty smiled disdainfully:

"Of course we have to sell it in Meereen. It's not like we can't sell it without them. We can cooperate with Her Majesty the Queen."

"She is worried that there is no industry in Meereen to replace the slave trade to attract outside merchants."

"And since they want to withdraw, we have an excuse to seize all their merchant ships and wealth."

It doesn't matter if they are big nobles, but many of the Meereen merchants who joined the Chamber of Commerce are not worth more than 100,000 gold dragons.

As long as they dare to withdraw, Marty can force them to pay liquidated damages. If they have no money, they will use their assets to offset it.

Among the list of people they just compiled, there were 7 businessmen, 5 minor nobles, 1 great leader of the neutral faction, and 2 great leaders of the conservative faction.

A total of 15 forces have proposed to withdraw from the Chamber of Commerce, which only has 20 members.

At the same time, this is also their confidence.

Dono was a little worried: "Will they obediently pay the money? I always feel that they will refuse to pay liquidated damages under the leadership of the great master."

Marty heard this and said slightly arrogantly: "Dono, this is the bad thing about you. You worry too much and do things before and after."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I tell you the truth, His Majesty the Poseidon is expecting the Great Master and others to take the lead in resisting, and so is Daenerys."

Then Marty patted Dono's shoulder and said confidently:

"As long as His Majesty the Poseidon is alive, Meereen will not be able to overthrow the sky!"

Dono felt relieved after hearing this, so he said to Marty, "Let's go have a drink."

——

Jack had long expected that such a day would come, so he asked Dono and Marty to dismantle the distillation device in advance.

The brewing master has also boarded the ship to Neptune Island.

Regardless of the undercurrents in Meereen, the development of Neptune Island has truly entered its peak period.

Jack, who has been Prime Minister in Meereen for a while, has become more and more comfortable in handling government affairs.

Therefore, the entire Neptune Island with 30,000 people began to move quickly.

In the Poseidon Palace, Jack was lying on a bed. Vitrill was straddling him and massaging him. Two handsome maids put the tender and soft flesh into his mouth.

Newgate reported the work beside him, "Your Majesty, the pool you requested has been built, with a diameter of fifty meters."

Jack didn't know whether the oil fish lived in groups or solitary, and he wasn't sure when the oil fish would leave their mothers and live alone.

So Newgate was asked to dig out a pool fifty meters in diameter and five meters deep, and then lock up the group of young oil fish.

The importance of oil fish is so high that the female oil fish beast burned for three days and three nights before it was reduced to ashes.

Moreover, the female beast can lay thousands of eggs at one time, which is much more convenient than coal when facing a long night. ,

Jack has done experiments and found that the real burning substance is the mucus secreted from the monster's body. This mucus is secreted when the monster breaks out of its shell.

In other words, if the mucus can be stored for a long time, it will be quite powerful.

But the result was a pity. The mucus peeled off from the monster's body looked like sticky snot at first, but it quickly hardened as soon as it left the body of the oil fish.

The hardened slime is as hard as stone and cannot be burned anymore. Jack is experimenting with whether the solid slime can be converted into liquid again.

If it can be realized, it will really achieve fuel freedom.

No matter whether it is stored in water or oil, it is useless. There may be other ways to preserve it.

However, it is impossible to study the current situation of Atlantis, so we can only temporarily abandon the plan to store mucus separately.

"I will take time tonight to drive all the oil fish in the lake into the pond. How is the tribute plan?"

The tribute plan is a beautified word, but this plan is essentially a bloody and violent accumulation of capital.

Jack plans to send three thousand Unsullied to dress up as pirates. A war is about to break out in Slaver's Bay, and a large number of merchant ships are preparing to go to Slaver's Bay to make war profits.

Regardless of naval war or land war, merchants accompanying the army are very common in the world of ice and fire.

What's more, the siege of Meereen by the slave owners will be a protracted battle. Meereen with the Unsullied guarding the city cannot be conquered overnight.

This gave merchants an opportunity to make money, and many merchants even began to sell their property to buy food, livestock, and alcohol, waiting for the war to come and make a fortune.

Jack also saw the business opportunity. Merchants made money from the war, and Atlantis made money from merchants, but Jack was buying for zero yuan.

Jack also gave this action a nice name. Isn't buying for zero yuan the same as other people paying tribute? It's called the tribute plan.

"I am teaching them navigation knowledge. They are learning very seriously and quickly. In three days, they will be able to follow the caravan to Braavos."

Jack waved his hand, "Just arrange a few hundred people to follow the caravan to Braavos. It will be too late to wait for the 39 large warships to come back. It will take at least half a year to get from here to Braavos."

"You ask Rutger to free up the 41 small merchant ships, and I will give him 12 giant merchant ships to replace the 41 small boats."

Newgate's eyes lit up. Atlantis now has a total of 260 ships, 37 more medium-sized ships than the previous 223.

Of these 260 ships, 39 large merchant ships were sent to Braavos to be transformed into large warships, and the rest were 13 giant ships including the Sea King, 167 medium-sized ships, and 41 small ships.

Private business is currently prohibited on Sea King Island, and no businessman knows the location of the Seychelles Islands.

Therefore, except for the 39 large ships under renovation, all other ships are under the management of the Chamber of Commerce and go out to sea day and night to buy various materials.

Among them, the most imported are slaves, food, and iron ore.

Atlantis currently has only 30,000 people, and at least 100,000 people are needed to have a sufficient fertility base.

Moreover, when Atlantis buys slaves, the ratio of men to women has always been 4:6, and women are the main force of fertility.

For this reason, Jack has also specially formulated some policies to stimulate men and women to get married and have children.
