Game of Thrones: Overlord of the Deep Sea

Chapter 52

"Money? I thought you were going to ask for something else." Dany blinked. She really thought Jack would propose a new pose or something.

After all, Jack had too much flower work, which made her hate and long for it.

"I'm short of money. To be honest, not only do I have nearly [-] Unsullied people, but also a large number of crew members waiting for me to support them. I'm poor."

Crying children have milk, especially Dany's, which is rich and delicious.

"Then how much do you want? There are many places to spend money in the future, and I don't have much to spare. I even gave you people. You can't deduct all of it from me."

This sentence directly made Jack, who was in the state of a sage, a little embarrassed. If he had known that he would not have fired that shot in the morning, he would be a little embarrassed to ask for money now.

"Then I don't want money anymore, give me the high-level slaves of Meereen, and use these high-level slaves to offset the money."

On the surface, Danni remained calm, but in fact she was secretly happy. She knew clearly in her heart who her supporters were and who her enemies were.

After Meereen loses the slave trade and the olive tree, the economy must decline for a period of time, which cannot be avoided.

So those who sell themselves to be teachers, clerks, bed slaves, doctors, priests are not her allies.

These people have the conditions to live a prosperous life, so naturally they would not be happy to stay in Meereen and suffer poverty, so it is better to sell them all for money, and now Jack has proposed it on his own initiative, which just saves a lot of time.

"Okay then, let's exchange these high-level slaves. Do you want to take these people away?"

"Take it away. I chose a small island in the south as a stop for the fleet. I need the help of some senior slaves who can read and write." Jack revealed his situation a little.

"Well, when I come back, I will ask someone to count the high-level slaves. You can take these high-level slaves away at any time, so, what can you do to help me get through the early stage?"

Jack held the soft decompression artifact in his hand, and then gave Dany a few references.

"The first is the issue of the rule of Meereen. We need a simple and practical bureaucratic system to rule Meereen.

That's why I divided Meereen into 13 special zones for management. We didn't have talents under our command, so we selected from the local nobles in Meereen. "

"Wait, those nobles almost hate us, how can they help us willingly?"

Then Jack briefly told Dani about his plan, but omitted the details of the 50 bribe he received.

After listening to it, Dany had a new understanding of Jack's political methods, but she still asked with some uneasiness: "Are the eleven nobles you selected really reliable?"

"We don't need to think about whether they are reliable, what we need to do is how to make them reliable.

And don't worry, once they take office as the consul of the SAR, they will be labeled as the queen's party, and they have no choice but to rely on you.

And you underestimate the control of power over people's hearts. Human greed is like a rolling stone on a high mountain. Once it starts, it can't stop. "

"Then what about the imperial meeting? If the power is delegated to them, and they collect taxes and manage it, then the imperial meeting will be meaningless."

Jack shook hands, "The imperial meeting itself is meaningless, I suggest canceling the imperial meeting and establishing a round table meeting.

Then a round table meeting composed of fourteen members replaced the functions of the imperial council.

To put it simply, it is to set all the official positions of the Imperial Council as the principal and deputy positions, and distribute the power of seven people to 14 people, and there is no change in essence.

This will not only disperse power, but also attract the eleven nobles, who want to join the round table meeting. "

Jack's idea is very simple. Divide the seven official positions of the Imperial Council into left and right. For example, his position as prime minister can be divided into prime minister and deputy prime minister.

As for whether his rights will be challenged by the deputy prime minister, Jack doesn't care. The strength of his own power is the basis for guaranteeing power.

"In addition, there is no need to rush to fill the positions of these 14 people. First, choose the seven people you trust as high-ranking officials. The remaining seven positions with relatively small powers can be released. Let them see the performance of other people and let them go crazy. , you reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Daenerys looked at Jack in surprise, followed by a 2-minute kiss, and Jack's method was too good.

This is not Westeros, she can set up a round table conference without any hindrance, and the power of the courtiers is divided, which is naturally more convenient for her to control.

Coupled with the position of the consul of the 13th special zone, it is completely possible to win over a group of nobles who are loyal to her, and directly realize the bureaucratic group from scratch.

Dani wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, changed her sitting position, and sat directly on Jack's lap, asking excitedly, "What about the economy? Do you have any good ideas?"

According to Jack's method, Meereen's management problems can basically be solved, but the economic problems have not been solved.

"The economy is a bit complicated. We will definitely not be able to solve it in a short time. We can only wait for the vines and olive trees to grow back and rely on wine and olive oil to make money."

Hearing Jack's words, Dani immediately praised her face, but what Jack said next made Dani happy again.

“While wine and olive oil are gone, there are other places to step in.”

"The first is the arena. The arena will remain open, but we can use the reason of providing security for the Unsullied to ask the owner of the arena to give up [-]% of the profits.

Then control the opening game of the arena. For example, from time to time, we will select a rookie with the potential of a champion and let him challenge the old strong. We make money according to the odds.

Not all gladiators like to be free to be an ordinary person. On the contrary, most gladiators are eager for the cheers of the audience and the bonus after victory.

So a gladiator doesn't have to be a slave, it can be anyone who volunteers, they can become a gladiator! "

Jack's first solution is to continue the operation of the arena. Many gladiators have adapted to life in the arena. They are eager for blood and battles, for the honor of victory and generous bonuses.

A gladiator does not have to be a slave, it can be anyone. In other words, any free citizen who is short of money or eager to fight can sign a contract with the arena to become a gladiator.

Therefore, Jack can set up a high winning streak bonus to attract free citizens to participate in the battle, and then open the market for black-box operations to make a lot of money.

As the prime minister and right-hand man of the queen, he can personally arrange this matter, and the bribe he can get from it is definitely not low.

For things like corruption and bribery, although Jack has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run.

In ancient times, there was an extremely personable minister, Qing Heshen, and Zhao Dehan is not worth a penny today. These are all Jack's "good role models".
