The Great Arcanist Who Traveled Through the World of American Variety Shows.

Chapter 463 Game of Thrones

After Meereen was captured, Daenerys began to implement the system she implemented in Yunkai in Meereen.

Slavery was abolished, and slaves were given land and houses, allowed to own personal property, and taxes were adjusted to one-fifth.

This tax rate was already very low compared to other slave city-states. At the same time, she ordered that taxes be levied equally on everyone, even nobles had to pay taxes.

If it were somewhere else, the mere issue of unified tax payment would cause a big mess, but in Yunkai and Meereen, this decree was passed directly.

After all, the slaves had just been liberated, and there were only a few nobles in the two cities, and they were still remnants of the previous slavery system.

They have no right to object at all.

And the servants under her were obedient to her orders. But in other places, she and her orders were resisted.

In the Slave's Bay, after she led her army away, spies and agents sent by other slave owners immediately began to create chaos in Astap and Yunkai.

And the other city-states in Slaver's Bay united and stopped trading with the cities owned by Daenerys. The slave city-states were originally very dependent on trade, and after being isolated by other city-states, Astapor, Yunkai, and Meereen all had problems.

The most obvious problem is food. The food production of the three city-states is not high and they cannot be self-sufficient. In addition to food, many things also need to be traded.

After taking control of the three cities, Daenerys suddenly found that she was short of manpower. This shortfall did not mean that her army was insufficient, but that there were too few people under her who could serve as officials.

In this era, the literacy rate was pitifully low and there was a severe shortage of city managers. Seeing this situation, Daenerys had to handle a lot of government affairs herself.

This made her spend a lot of time every day dealing with government affairs. Daenerys didn't even have time to study magic, but even though she was so busy, the situation in the city did not improve as she hoped, but still seemed chaotic.

"Your Lordship, we should not waste time here. Your main task now is to lead the army to the Seven Kingdoms and take back the Iron Throne that belongs to you." said Barristan, Daenerys's servant.

As the captain of Daenerys's father's iron guard, Barristan is an extraordinary martial artist. Although he is old, he is still relied upon by Daenerys for important tasks.

"Barry, if I can't even manage a city, then what qualifications do I have to manage the Seven Kingdoms?" Daenerys said to the old man in front of her.

"Even if I sweep across the Seven Kingdoms with my army and dragons and finally sit on the Iron Throne, will I become the next Mad King?"

Daenerys' words silenced Barristan. In the end, he agreed with Daenerys's point of view and served Daenerys as the captain of the Iron Guard, hoping to help Daenerys bring peace and stability to Meereen.

Because of the assassinations by the slave owners, Barristan decided to help Daenerys train a team of knights to protect her safety. Daenerys agreed and let Barristan select people from her squires for training.

But this cannot change the predicament that Daenerys is facing now. In desperation, Daenerys has to come to Richard for help.

"Sir, I need your help." Daenerys came to Richard's laboratory for help.

Richard said without even looking up: "What trouble are you in?"

"I have to deal with various government affairs all day long. I have to deal with the government affairs of the three cities of Meereen, Yunkai and Astapor. I can't handle it all by myself!" said Daenerys.

Richard reassembled the dragon blood chain in his hand, put it into the petri dish for cultivation, and then said, "Is there a shortage of manpower to manage the city?"

"Yes."

"You are against slavery, and the nobles in the city are not willing to work for you. You can't even find tax collectors. In this case, you can change your mindset and train a group of officials yourself."

"Train our own management staff?" Dany had never thought of this method, because she knew very well that such a thing would be very difficult to implement.

In this era, many positions are actually hereditary, and knowledge is only in their hands. Ordinary people have no chance to access it.

It is too difficult to ask her to set up a new official system.

"Besides this, do you have any other solution? Or are you willing to bow to those slave owners?" Richard asked.

"Only by doing this can you truly hold power, otherwise you are just a rubber stamp, a mascot, and this is the game of thrones."

Daenerys immediately responded, "Never!"

"I will never compromise with those slave owners!"

"Then go and start a school and train your own management staff, so that you won't be constrained by them. In the future, you will have to fight for the Iron Throne. After you sit on the Iron Throne, if the people below still pretend to obey you but actually disobey you, what can you do?"

After hearing this, Daenerys realized that building a school was an imperative matter.

“Don’t think that training managers is that difficult. In fact, it is very simple. You don’t need to train them to be all-rounders. You only need to train them to do their jobs. As long as they are not stupid, they will learn it quickly!”

"Besides, you have handled so many government affairs during this period of time. I believe you have your own set of plans for handling government affairs. You can sort out all the government affairs you have handled during this period of time."

"Categorize them, and divide all types of government affairs into categories. Government affairs of the same type are basically solved in a similar way, so you can use them as solutions."

"For each type of government affairs solution, sort out the one you think is the most perfect. If you encounter a similar situation next time, just follow the method you sorted out before!"

"Although this way of handling government affairs is not perfect, it is sufficient for managing these cities. After all, the original system of this city is not that good!"

"At the same time, you can also use this system to teach and train a group of managers in a short period of time."

"Although these managers have limited abilities, after a period of adaptation, the best ones will show their talents. Then you can train those talented people and get better management talents."

"You don't need many schools like this. You just need to spend some time on training."

Richard's words made Daenerys suddenly enlightened, and she immediately got up and went back.

Next, Daenerys ordered all the government affairs she had handled during this period to be sorted into categories, and then she selected a hundred smart and capable people from the slaves.

These people will be the first batch of students in the School of Government. These slaves are all innocent, have a blood feud with the slave owners, and will never be won over by them. After confirming their loyalty, Daenerys began to train them.

At the same time, Daenerys also gave his maids some simple training, asking them to help her classify all the government affairs.

Then the most appropriate disposal method is selected in each category.

With Richard's method, Daenerys often only needs to take a look and then come up with a solution, and the speed of handling government affairs has increased dramatically.

Things that used to take a whole day to handle can now be easily completed in just two hours.

Next, Daenerys' school was opened. The one hundred people selected were all smart people, and they knew very well what they were facing.

In this era when the spread of knowledge relies on family inheritance and the poor have almost no knowledge, it is impossible for them to obtain opportunities for knowledge.

And now, the opportunity to change their own destiny and even the destiny of their family is right before their eyes. As long as they seize the opportunity, they and their family will completely cross the class barrier in the next few hundred years.

Therefore, all these people studied very seriously.

They were even more focused on Daenerys's narration. Although many of them did not understand writing, they still wrote down the knowledge in a way that they could understand.

At the same time, Daenerys was also teaching these people writing. As long as they were willing to learn, writing was not an insurmountable obstacle for them.

After Daenerys established the academy, she often took these students to handle various matters personally, so that they could become familiar with government affairs as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the slave owners in Slaver's Bay did not stop, and they were still doing things in secret. After consulting Richard, Daenerys began to implement the Baojia system in the cities under her control.

She divided the civilians into groups of ten households, and appointed a headman in each group. The headman was responsible for these ten households. If he found a stranger, he had to question him in time. If he was a suspicious person, he had to report it immediately. He was also responsible for assisting in collecting taxes.

These slaves were originally rescued by him, and they had a high degree of identification with Daenerys, so the baojia system was quickly implemented without any obstacles.

The baojia system was also able to successfully expose those spies who sneaked in to cause trouble.

In just three days, dozens of spies sent by other slave owners were captured in Meereen. These spies were originally mixed in with the crowd in the city, but they were reported without knowing what was going on.

All of a sudden, all the spies and assassins in Meereen were wiped out. Without these people causing trouble, the security of the entire city immediately became much more stable.

After seeing the effect in Meereen, Daenerys immediately sent people to Yunkai and Astapor to promote it.

The emergence of the Baojia system caused great losses to the spies. Originally, most of these spies were members of the Sons of the Harpy organization, which was funded by slave owners and came here to cause trouble.

As a result, a large number of people were caught off guard and directly arrested by the baojia system.

Daenerys hated these bugs hiding in the dark, and ordered all the spies to be beheaded and their heads hung on the city walls for public display.

Although the Sons of the Harpy had strong support from the slave owners, its size was no more than a thousand people, and it lost a third of its manpower in one fell swoop.

And then, the difficulty of causing trouble for them increased several times.

The Sons of the Harpy hated Daenerys with a vengeance, but he no longer dared to act as recklessly as before.

Seeing the Sons of the Harpy's defeat, these nobles did not have any better solution for a while and could only continue to impose an economic blockade on them, while at the same time taking the time to train the army.

After seeing Daenerys' elite army, these slave owners finally learned their lesson and spent a large amount of money to recruit and train more troops.

Seeing so much money flowing away from their hands, these slave owners felt a dull pain in their hearts and hated Daenerys even more.

Daenerys solved the public security problem and temporarily solved the government affairs problem, but there is still one problem that she has no good solution to, and that is food and supplies.

Ever since she raised the banner of freeing the slaves, the slave owners have cut off trade with her, and now all three cities are short of food.

What keeps them going now is partly the food stored by former slave owners, partly various livestock, and partly the high-priced grain Daenerys buys from other countries.

If she cannot solve the food problem, then all her rule will be like a castle on the beach, which will disappear without a trace when a wave comes.

Faced with this situation, Daenerys actively opened up trade routes on the one hand and encouraged planting on the other.

Daenerys distributed the land to the civilians, who were very active in farming. Many wastelands outside the city were reclaimed and planted with crops.

A large amount of land is cultivated, and if everything goes well next year, they will no longer worry about food, but the problem is that is next year, and this year's food problem has not been solved yet.

Daenerys could only ask Richard for help again. Richard had a lot of supplies, including food. He directly took out 20,000 tons of food from his personal space. This food was enough for Daenerys's men to eat for two years.

With Richard's help, Daenerys solved most of the problems, but the trade problem remained unsolved. As a city-state that thrives on trade, it will naturally decline quickly without trade.

At the same time, only through trade can Daenerys obtain enough money to equip her army and build her warships.

Then he led his army back to the Seven Kingdoms and took back the Iron Throne.

But after trade was blocked, the city's tax revenue plummeted, which repeatedly delayed Daenerys's plan to form a military fleet.

At this time, a Ghis noble found Daenerys and said that he could help Daenerys solve trade problems.

This noble named Hizdahr zo Loraq was very wealthy and ran a gladiatorial arena business, which was the largest and most numerous arena operator in Slaver's Bay.

During this period of time, Hizdahr has been trying to persuade Daenerys to reopen the arena for business, but Daenerys thinks the arena is too cruel and has always refused.

In the past, Daenerys might have considered appeasing these nobles, but after solving the food and public security problems, she no longer planned to appease them.
