Game of Thrones: Overlord of the Deep Sea

Chapter 68 Ivan's doubts

And Dany believes that there must be many things like this, and those who have been hurt are all potential reserve personnel of the Sons of the Harpy.

The more she thought about it, the uglier Dany's face became. She suddenly remembered that at the very beginning, Jack had told her that the free folk of Meereen who suffered the most after the city of Meereen was broken.

The nobles would hide in their own pyramids to avoid burning, killing and looting after the city was broken.

The slaves are poor, and they are the objects of emancipation, so naturally no one will plunder them.

Only the former free folk of Meereen will suffer a huge impact, not only will they be plundered by the slave army following her, but also by the slaves of Meereen.

At that time, Jack gave a suggestion, that is to take part of the money to make up for their losses, which can reduce the number of sons of the Harpy.

But at that time, Dany felt that the former free people of Meereen also oppressed slaves in the past, so she rejected Jack's proposal.

"Take him down for questioning first," Dany said to Barristan.

Barristan immediately took the man away when he heard the words. Recently, a small number of Sons of the Harpy have begun to move at night.

This caused a little trouble to the security work in Meereen, but it didn't cause any big waves.

Now that a living Son of the Harpy has been caught, Barristan will naturally not let this opportunity go, and he must interrogate him thoroughly.

After Barristan left, Dany immediately sent Missandei to call Jack over.

At this moment in the prime minister's tower, Jack was working at a custom-made desk.

Holding a homemade stone dumbbell in his left hand, he flipped through Meereen's taxes for this month with his right.

Because Meereen is a city-state rather than a country, taxes are set at three-month intervals.

Among them, the taxes of the first district and the second district are directly handed over to Dani and Jack.

Eleven administrators headed by Manduo are responsible for the taxation from the third district to the No.13 district.

After they collected it, they handed it over to Jack, and then Jack handed it over with the taxes of the second district under his jurisdiction.

Including the second district under Jack's jurisdiction, the tax revenue this time was 20 golden dragons.

Because of the work-for-relief method proposed by Jack, the free folk in Meereen have the money to pay taxes, and there is no need to replace coins with physical objects and unpaid labor.

That's why it was possible to collect 20 golden dragons, but this amount is definitely not too much.

There is some error between this amount and Jack's calculation, and the error is even a bit large!
Originally, according to Jack's calculation, after the opening of the arena, the tax revenue of the entire Meereen should be around 30 gold dragons, but now it is only 20.

The disappearing one hundred thousand golden dragons knew where they went without even thinking about it.

But Jack was not angry. In the world of Game of Thrones, corruption is normal. Dario, who collected taxes in the original book, even embezzled half of the taxes.

And the reason why Mando and other administrators did not embezzle more than half of it this time is to test Jack's attitude and Daenerys' tolerance.

Jack rubbed his chin, and did not choose to go to Mantu, but was going to see the sincerity of Mantu and others.

Because he just remembered that Manduo said that he had prepared a banquet tomorrow, and it was at the Lantis Hot Pot Restaurant.

Knock, knock, knock at the door.

Jack never worked in the main hall of the Prime Minister's Tower. He always worked in the office he chose. Usually, Ivan was waiting at the door.

"Come in."

Ivan pushed the door open, "Master Prime Minister, Miss Missandei said that Your Majesty would like you to come over."

Ivan's face remained unchanged, but he was a little curious about where Vitriol had gone. He obviously followed the prime minister in.

"I see, wait a moment."

Ivan closed the door and said to Missandei outside the door: "Wait a minute, Miss Missandei, the Prime Minister will come out soon."

Inside the house, Jack patted Vetteril's head.

Then Vitteril got out from under the table and jumped lightly twice.

"I'm exhausted, my legs are numb."

Jack chuckled, "Next time I'll put a layer of fur on the floor so you can squat under it."

Vetteril stuck out her tongue, "I'm going back to practice swords first."

Since coming to Meereen, Jack has never forgotten Vitril's role as a capable female secretary!

He hired the best swordsmanship teacher and teacher in Slave Bay for Vetteril.

Therefore, Vetteril has at least eight classes every day to continuously learn sword skills and knowledge.

Her progress is also very obvious, at least she is not as stupid as when she was first taken in by Jack.

Vetteril opened the door and left, followed by Jack, heading for the Dragon Pagoda.

Ivan looked at the backs of Vetteril and Jack, and looked back at the office suspiciously.

But before he had time to think about it, he hurried to prepare a parasol for Jack.

Jack is not a hypocritical person. Every time he travels, he is accompanied by many people, including guards, maids, and attendants.

Jack soon arrived at the main hall of the Dragon Pagoda, when Dani was frowning.

There was no one around, Jack joked directly: "Yo Yo Yo, what happened to our mother of dragons?
Come on, someone, hang my coat on Her Majesty's mouth, it can hang salted fish. "

All those present were Dani's personal maids, and they all knew Jack's temperament, so naturally no one dared to move.

"You say that I won't use it for you tonight. Really, can't you be more serious? The dagger of the Son of the Harpy is on our necks!"

"What you said sounds even more serious, okay?" Jack's mouth twitched. You said that, and you said I was not serious.

"And what does it mean that the son of the Harpy is already on our necks?"

Dany also realized that she was quick-mouthed and accidentally said some vulgar words.

His face turned red, and he said, "It's the son of the Harpy, that kind, that kind of assassin who wears a golden mask and assassinates us everywhere!"

The corner of Jack's mouth twitched, seeing your nervous and excited look, I thought you saw a mermaid, and I was ready to laugh out loud.

"Sons of the Harpy, what are you afraid of?" Jack said speechlessly, "Although they have started to appear in Meereen recently, they will definitely not make a difference."

Jack is very confident, because he found that the continuous sitting system has a very high degree of control over ordinary people, and the free people of Meereen are all trapped in the continuous sitting system.

Especially in the case of not reporting and convicting, reporting is not only innocent but also rewarded.

This group of assassins who held Daenerys in Meereen in the original play have not dared to show up until now.

It's no wonder that Jack doesn't take the Son of the Harpy seriously, there really isn't any big threat.

Seeing that Jack still didn't care, Dany immediately expressed her guess and worry just now.

"Your previous guess is correct, the former free folk of Meereen have indeed become potential reserve personnel for the Sons of the Harpy!"
