Game of Thrones: Overlord of the Deep Sea

Chapter 201 Shocked, the Lannister brothers and sisters turned out to be...
Under Jack's drastic reforms, the northern border's economy recovered rapidly. At the same time, along with social stability, the power of the northern nobles was greatly weakened.

Although Jack did not abolish the military power and political power of the nobles, he ordered that no nobles except the Sea Emperor have the power to force civilians to join the army.

With the issuance of this decree, coupled with the prosecutorial agency established by Jack, the northern border has already half-stepped into a centralized society.

At the same time, Jack also recruits a large number of literate people. No matter what class you are, as long as you can read, you can join the Tanah Lot Temple and become a missionary.

Missionaries are not only equipped with two horses and two attendants, but also have a monthly subsidy of 30 silver coins.

The missionary's task is very simple. He collects the Ocean Daily Daily every week, and then during this week, he continues to read in the area he is responsible for.

The establishment of missionaries, the back molars of the angry northern nobles are about to be crushed.

This group of unruly people not only knew about the major events in the North and even the Seven Kingdoms, Jack also often popularized the newly implemented laws in the North for them.

For a while, the farmer, who had been extremely coaxed, became shrewd.

But sometimes the nobles in the north couldn't help but secretly buy a newspaper to read for themselves.

Because the headlines in the newspapers are so catchy!
Ocean Daily is divided into eight sections, the first four sections are about what happened in the north, the last three sections are news from the south, and the last section is about some cold jokes and serialized long stories.

Every time they saw the titles of the eight major sections of the newspaper, these nobles couldn't help but buy a copy and read it.

These titles include but are not limited to:

"Shocked, those unspeakable secrets of the Stark family."

"Shocked that Reggard Targaryen and Lyanna Stark would do such a thing!"

"Shocked, Countess xxx actually went to meet her nephew at night!"

"Shocked, a young couple earns 200 gold dragons a month!"

"What has to be said between the Lannister brothers and sisters, is it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morals!"

Not only these exaggerated titles, but also some more normal, popular and introductory titles, such as:
"Why does water always flow downhill?"

"Is there a tool that can make weaving more than ten times faster?"

There are still a lot of talented folks, and Jack posted these mainly to see if they can stimulate the emergence of some practical technologies.

In addition to these, the serialized stories in the last section are also very attractive.

Now countless aristocratic grandpas have begun to fantasize about Baron Xiao Huo Huo coming to Earl Yunlan's house three years later to show off his face and slap him in the face.

There are also smart nobles like Wyman Manderly who have figured out that Jack is undermining them.

But there was nothing they could do.

There is no chance of attracting foreign aid.

Strategic locations such as Carlin Bay and White Harbor are in Jack's hands, and external reinforcements cannot enter at all.

There is no chance for an internal joint uprising.

A large number of new aristocratic forces have been promoted in the northern border. They all climbed up from the bottom or savages, and they are loyal to Jack.

And the civilians in the northern border have begun to support Jack, believing in the god of the sea from Atlantis.

Therefore, they can only watch and worry, especially the nobles who swore allegiance to Jack because of Stark at the beginning, they are the most helpless.

Although Jack raised the titles of each of their families by two levels, he also granted a large amount of land at the same time.

But Jack's reforms have greatly limited their power.But helpless is helpless, they are actually very satisfied with the present.

The territory expanded tenfold, and the title changed from baron to earl, and from viscount to marquis.

It can be regarded as an unprecedented honor for the family.

Opening up wasteland and farming, repairing roads, and building provincial capitals, huge changes are taking place in the northern border every day. Of course, the funds consumed every day are also astronomical.

The northern region is cold and cold, and the land is sparsely populated. It is not suitable for farming and grazing, but it is very suitable for factory construction. It is a good industrial park.

However, there is no heavy industry capacity yet, and even Neptune Island has just begun to study steam engines, and there is still a long way to go before the steam revolution.

But this did not prevent the establishment of soap factories, breweries, and steel mills.

In particular, soap and Poseidon's brew, two Atlantean specialty products, are currently only in circulation on the continent of Essos. If a factory is built in Westeros, it must be very profitable.

As for whether the goods will be banned by the Iron Throne, Jack is not very worried.

Just like Jack can now buy food in the Reach, Dorne, Vale, and the Riverlands, merchants pursue profits, and as long as the profits are enough, they dare to take any risks.

What's more, the Iron Throne currently only has actual control over the Western Territory, Stormlands, and Royal Lands.

Like the Reach, which is rich in food and has a population of more than 1200 million, it only superficially submits to the orders of the Iron Throne.

But in fact, it doesn't matter who the other party is, as long as they give money, what they should sell is unambiguous.

In this case, consumables such as soap and wine are enough to attract a large number of merchants to resell them to make money.

In fact, there are breweries and soap factories in Westeros now, and there are ones in Dorne.

But the scale is not large, only enough for the nobles in Dorne to digest.

Jack has always maintained this scale, which is just enough for internal digestion, and has repeatedly rejected Prince Doran's request to expand the scale.

While controlling the scale of the soap factory and brewery, Jack also set up blacksmith shops, tailor shops, mason shops, carpenter shops, etc.

In addition, Jack spent huge sums of money to buy a large amount of land to grow wheat.

The grain seeds are all transported from the No. [-] grain seed cultivation base in Neptune City.

Coupled with the dispatch of professionals with planting certificates to properly fertilize, weed and water, the yield per mu of local wheat is much higher.

In a short period of time, Atlantis did make the taxes in Dorne much higher.

But Prince Doran couldn't be happy, he always felt that something was wrong.

Because those shops in Atlantis are so weird.

When recruiting workers, the treatment given to workers is too generous, and the price of the sold goods is greatly reduced on the basis of ensuring the quality.

It can be said that these shops basically don’t earn any money even if they pay taxes. Isn’t this a contribution to Donne in vain?
Prince Doran felt that Jack Poseidon didn't look like this kind of person who didn't benefit from his efforts. He definitely overlooked something!
It's just that for a moment he didn't know what he had overlooked.

Just as Prince Doran was thinking hard, a Sand Snake suddenly came to report.

It turns out that it is Tyrion Lannister who has been imprisoned for several months. This dwarf who is both a kingslayer and a kinslayer will be put on trial at the end of this month.

And Prince Oberon will serve as a legal adviser to participate in this trial with Tywin Lannister and the Minister of Justice.

"Heh, incest, regicide, and kinkilling are all the retribution of the Lannister family!" A long-lost joy flashed across Doran's face.
