Chapter 142

What Jack didn't expect was the harvest time.

Most of the farmers in Hearthstone have been taken out by Lord Greatjon Umber due to the Rebellion of the Five Kings.

Moreover, in order to fight, farmers also use their own farm tools, such as hoes, dung forks, rakes, etc., which are their life-saving weapons on the battlefield.

When the land, cattle and even farm tools belonged to the lord, few farmers could save enough money to buy decent weapons.

So I can only take the dung fork and hoe at home to perform combat obligations for my lord.

It is said that they are free people, but in fact there is not much difference between them and serfs. They are only legally free, and they have to report to the lord even when they leave the village.

It was precisely because of this that the grain harvest in Hearth City and the surrounding areas could be harvested in half a month, but it took two full months.

Not only the northern border, except for the Reach and Dorne, the rest of the places are similar, especially the Riverlands, where the once prosperous banks of the Trident River are now full of deserted manors and villages, let alone harvesting grain.

In the past two months, the scouts from the southern Dreadfort have not stopped. After discovering that Jack was harvesting grain, the Bolton family also began to speed up grain harvesting.

Everyone knows the importance of food, especially Roose Bolton. His men gathered 8000 people, including [-] cavalry.

Although these people brought some rations with them when they enlisted, it was only enough for the journey, and Roose Bolton had to provide the follow-up rations.

And Roose Bolton found that a red dragon and an eagle had been hovering in the sky during this time.

The eagle is the skinchanger among the wildlings—Varamir the sixshapes.

Therefore, the movements of the entire Dreadfort are under Jack's control, and sometimes Jack will ride on Kraxie to harass the Bolton family to harvest food and grass.

At this time, Calim Bay is still under the control of the iron people, and the Iron Throne is temporarily unable to help Roose Bolton, so it can only express its solidarity.

The Iron Throne portrays Jack and his party as wildlings heading south.

And it means that Jack Poseidon is a descendant of Blackfyre and has no right to inherit the Iron Throne.

But it also indirectly recognizes the succession of House Targaryen.

And these words can only deceive the common people, the nobles have already started to think about their own little thoughts.

Because it doesn't matter if Jack Poseidon is the Blackfyre Bastard or not.

The important thing is that Jack Poseidon now has the support of [-] savages and a ten-meter-long dragon.

Dragons are the point, and without dragons, Jack wouldn't even be a Targaryen orthodoxy.

Give Jack Poseidon one hundred thousand savages, and the nobles will not consider the possibility of Jack Poseidon's success.

But it’s different with dragons. If Aegon Targaryen didn’t have three dragons, Westeros would still be in the Seven Kingdoms.

But now, to put it bluntly, Targaryen and Blackfyre have obviously united, and Blackfyre married Targaryen, so naturally there is no such thing as an illegitimate child.

If it's just like this, then it's okay, after all, whether it's orthodox in the end has to use strength to speak.

If Baratheon can occupy the Iron Throne for three generations, then the Baratheon Dynasty is orthodox.

The question is whether the Baratheon dynasty can last for three generations.

You must know that there is now one dragon in Blackfire and three dragons in Targaryen. In less than ten years, there will be four dragons participating in the battle for the Iron Throne.

In the face of the giant dragon, the group of nobles will have to think carefully about which side they will stand at that time.

Tywin Lannister also felt the undercurrent, so he wanted to take advantage of Joffrey's wedding to intimidate and lure these nobles.

at the same time.

A huge merchant ship appeared at the docks of Meereen.

The hull of this ship is mostly black, and it is the luxuriously remodeled ship of Atlantis, second only to the Neptune - the Black Pearl.

And the Black Pearl is different from the Sea Emperor. The Black Pearl is specially equipped with fifty warships to escort it.

After the Black Pearl docked, several teams of Unsullied came down to pick up Daenerys and go to Neptune Island.

Soon Daenerys came to the pier surrounded by the two children with her two children in her arms.

Manduo Gelu looked worried, "Your Highness, you must pay attention to your health over there, don't worry, don't worry about Meereen, I will do my best to manage Meereen well."

"Of course I trust you, Prime Minister Grew, but [-]% is really too much, [-]% at most, otherwise I can't worry about the living conditions of the people of Meereen."

Manduo Gelu's eyelids twitched, and cold sweat immediately covered his back.

Since Jack left Meereen, the part of "people's fat and people's anointing" that originally belonged to Jack has been collected by Manduo, and he thought that what he did was perfect.

I didn't expect that everything was under Daenerys' control, let alone Daenerys would not warn herself until now.

Daenerys looked at Mando Gru, who was sweating profusely, and said with a smile, "Why are you sweating? Pay attention to your health, Prime Minister, or your seven hot lovers from the Summer Isles will have to find someone else."

After saying this, Daenerys turned around and boarded the Black Pearl, and only then did she understand why Jack likes to scare his subordinates, so it's so cool!
Of course, Dany didn't know that Jack's habit of scaring his subordinates was learned from someone Cao in the Three Kingdoms period.

Cao has two hobbies in his life, collecting wives and generals, and scaring his son and subordinates.

Manduo Gelu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as the back of the Black Pearl left and three giant dragons crossed over his head.

"Damn it, the whole family likes to scare people, right? It's really not a good thing, I am!" Manduo Gelu slandered endlessly in his heart.

However, he still had an expression of reluctance on his face, and he turned his head and said modestly to the other officials and nobles:
"Everyone, Her Majesty the Queen has already left. From now on, the Free Trade Coast will depend on us. We must be true and down-to-earth to develop the Free Trade Coast. We must not disappoint Her Majesty the Queen and His Majesty the Sea Emperor."

"Humph." X2
The group of generals headed by the nobles and Barristan let out a cold snort, turned around and left.

Mando Gelu didn't care either, and returned to the administrative pyramid with the rest of the consuls and their officials, talking and laughing.

The current political system of the Free Trade Coast is very heterogeneous. The three major groups of nobles, generals, and bureaucrats jointly maintain the operation of the three cities.

But as time went by, the aristocratic system was slowly squeezed out.

Or to put it another way, the aristocrats gradually turned into a bureaucratic aristocratic group, which has the feeling of some gentry and gentry.

Because they have no power in their hands, they are at a disadvantage in the battle with the consul.

On the contrary, it was the second sons of their previous family who were separated from each other, because those second sons were not only nobles in Yunkai, but also served as the consuls of Yunkai City.

It can be said that the management power of the entire Yunkai is in the hands of the consul, and the generals group has a standing army of tens of thousands of people.

Since the nobles have no slaves, although they earn more and more money, the power of the nobles is not as good as before because of the limited number of people required by the consul system.
