Game of Thrones: Overlord of the Deep Sea

Chapter 222 The more you earn, the more hope you have

Tyrion stayed there for a long time, then threw away the crossbow and immediately ran towards his destination.

At this time, at the dock of Blackwater Bay, Varys was dressed in black, waiting anxiously for Tyrion.

As the saying goes, do your best to obey fate. He has designed everything, but this does not mean that everything will develop according to his plan.

He wasn't sure if Tyrion had the guts to kill the old lion Tywin.

Killing Tywin, the old lion, and letting Cersei take power is the most important move in the ultimate plan.

If Tywin does not die, the Poseidon family in the north may not be the final winner.

While Varys was waiting anxiously, a short figure appeared, and Tyrion ran over quickly.

At this time, Tyrion was sweating profusely and looked slightly panicked.

Seeing this, Wallis knew what was going on, "It seems you have made your choice, it's time for us to leave."

"Wait." After saying that, Tyrion looked around, as if looking for someone.

"Are you looking for someone? Have you told anyone else about this?" Varys's face changed slightly. At this moment, three bells came from King's Landing.

Wallis's face changed completely, and his voice was no longer as calm as before, but was a little more urgent.

"What are you looking for? We don't have time. If we don't leave, the dock will be blocked!"

At this time, Tyrion finally found the sneaky figure of the dog and ran over quickly.

"You are not suitable for disguise. Fortunately, you are not too far away from me!" Tyrion said happily to the person in front of him.

Tyrion is looking for Podrick.

He killed his father, the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, and the Duke of the West.

Now that King's Landing has sounded the alarm, he doesn't have much time to find Podrick.

Fortunately, this guy was not far away from him and kept looking around. Tyrion could spot him at a glance among the crowd.

"What happened? Why did the alarm bell sound?" Podrick was very confused at this time. He was called to the dock in confusion, and the alarm bell sounded again in King's Landing.

"Something big has happened, but we have to leave now. If we don't leave, it will be too late. Let's go quickly."

Tyrion did not choose to tell Podrick about killing Tywin. Podrick just followed Tyrion to the ship that Varys had prepared long ago.

In the dark night, firelight began to light up everywhere in King's Landing, like a beacon guiding the way in the darkness, and like an abyssal beast that emitted a swaying light to choose and devour people.

Tyrion looked blankly in the direction of King's Landing, while Varys's eyes flickered and he looked at Tyrion meaningfully.

Only Podrick, with dull eyes, had no idea what was happening.

--------

The day after Tyrion left King's Landing, the newly built northern provincial city of Throre was basically finalized.Facts have proved that as long as you take care of the food and cooperate with the work system related to personal interests, it is not difficult to build a city even without large-scale equipment.

Poseidon testified that Jack really did not ask them to work 13 or 14 hours. They took the initiative to work overtime for the copper coins.

If Jack hadn't stopped them, they would have even wanted to work overtime for fifteen or six hours.

This makes Jack somewhat puzzled. Is double hourly pay for overtime really so attractive?

If it were him, he would never choose to work overtime, because Jack's wages to workers are very high. Even if he doesn't work overtime, he can still make a lot of money during the construction period.

In fact, none of the recruited workers want to work overtime. No one wants to work overtime.

But Jack's treatment was very high, with double wages for overtime work. As long as they earned a little more money now, they would have more hope of surviving in the face of the long night that could come at any time.

Firewood, grain, salt, winter clothes and bedding all cost money.

So the people in the North are not stupid. Since Jack is willing to spend money to hire them, they will naturally seize the opportunity to save more money.

And Jack relaxed the restrictions on civilians cutting down trees. In the original northern border, all resources in the forest, including trees, were owned by nobles and were prohibited from being obtained by civilians.

Jack specifically relaxed this restriction for two and a half years, during which time the forests throughout the North were allowed to be logged by civilians.

The implementation of this policy greatly promoted the development of blacksmith shops in the north.

If everyone has money, they will naturally buy axes for cutting down trees, and making charcoal also requires many tools.

With the external funds brought by Jack being reasonably injected into the North, the entire North's economy began to recover.

Of course, some people are happy and some are sad. Jack is happy, the common people are happy, and the nobles are uncomfortable.

As a vested interest, Jack's various reforms undoubtedly offended their interests.

But Jack is different from other rulers. He has a group of insane administrative officials, as well as the Unsullied who enforce orders and prohibitions, and the barbarians beyond the wall who follow him without any brains.

This made the nobles face many reform measures. Even if their interests were violated, they could only hold their noses and endure it.

To be honest, only the interests of the nobles were violated during the reforms in the North.

The wild people beyond the Wall got the land they dreamed of.

Jack's Unsullied and Administrators are slaves themselves.

Commoners were given land and plenty of job opportunities.

Only the nobility lost the right to compulsorily recruit farmers and indirectly lost military power. They were constrained by the newly issued laws and lost the power of life and death.

They haven't rebelled yet simply because Jack doesn't need their help in managing the North, and he also has a strong military force.
