Chapter 472: King of Longwan
Chapter 472: King of Longwan
Slaver's Bay was completely occupied by Daenerys.
In Meereen, a grand coronation ceremony is taking place, and the whole city has become a sea of joy.
Daenerys walked slowly accompanied by a dozen maids. Both sides of the hall were filled with armored guards, and more generals gathered on both sides.
Daenerys walked over and waved to the people on both sides, and suddenly countless people were shouting her name.
Richard stood on the steps and looked at the woman. In just three years, she went from being a stray dog to the master of Slave Bay.
"Sir, please crown me!"
Daenerys came to Richard and bowed. She did not choose any saint or pope from any religion to crown her, and even many popes of religions were not invited by her.
Daenerys has been with Richard for three years and can be said to have been deeply influenced by him. In addition, she has become a dragon vein wizard, and wizards have very little awe for the gods.
At the same time, Daenerys did not want religion to interfere in politics. When she established the kingdom, she had already required that the king's affairs be left to the king and the religion's affairs be left to the religion. All religions were not allowed to interfere in politics.
The influence of religion is reduced to the minimum here. At the same time, religions are not allowed to collect taxes from believers, and all religions are not allowed to have any armed forces.
In Daenerys's kingdom, religion is excluded from politics. Several religious popes stood on one side of the hall, their expressions somewhat reluctant. Here they have lost their original supreme authority.
They even didn't dare to turn against Daenerys. After several years of fighting, Daenerys's strength and the three giant dragons made them realize that they were no match for Daenerys.
Richard nodded, then took out a crown and placed it on her head.
"The title of Queen is not brought by the crown, but by you yourself!" Richard said with a smile.
"I look forward to you putting the crown of the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms back on your head."
"You must remember that it is not the title of Lord of the Seven Kingdoms that makes you great, but it is because of you that the title of Lord of the Seven Kingdoms becomes great!"
"I'll remember that, sir!" Daenerys nodded.
Then she stood up, climbed onto the platform, and looked down. At this moment, all the generals and officials in the hall bowed to her.
"See Her Majesty the Queen!"
"See Her Majesty the Queen!"
The sound spread in all directions, and outside the hall, countless civilians knelt down and shouted at the same time.
"See Her Majesty the Queen!"
For a moment, the whole city was filled with this voice.
Daenerys' coronation was what everyone expected. After the coronation, Daenerys immediately ordered that the newly recovered city-states should also be reformed according to the system of Meereen.
At the same time, Daenerys ordered that the newly recovered lands be exempted from taxes for three years, and ordered the complete abolition of slavery in Slaver's Bay.
Now that slavery has been abolished, it is no longer appropriate to call this place Slave's Bay. Daenerys announced that from today on, Slave's Bay will be renamed Dragon's Bay.
Her current title is Queen of Longwan.
In addition to her soldiers, generals, and original nobles, her coronation ceremony was attended by some other lords bordering the Slave Bay.
These lords who were very close to Dragon Bay knew Daenerys's strength. After seeing Daenerys unify Dragon Bay, they came to pay their respects as soon as possible.
Many people even worried that Daenerys would take revenge on them later. After all, when Daenerys went to war with the slave owners' coalition, most of them stood on the side of the slave owners' coalition.
Now that the slave owners have been completely wiped out, they are also worried that they will be the next one. Especially after seeing the strength of Daenerys and the strength of her army, these nobles are afraid of becoming Daenerys's target.
Therefore, he came with a lot of gifts to ask for forgiveness.
Daenerys sat on the high throne, and the noble envoys prostrated themselves respectfully at her feet, not daring to express the slightest dissatisfaction.
"I can forgive your ignorance, but I hope this kind of thing won't happen again!" Daenerys' voice came from above, crisp and indifferent, revealing supreme majesty.
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your mercy!"
After hearing Daenerys' words, these people finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"but!"
But in the next second, these people's hearts were in their throats again.
Daenerys glanced at everyone and continued, "You took advantage of the war between the slave owners to buy a large number of slaves from here. As punishment, you need to return half of the slaves!"
The messengers looked at each other, and then glanced at Daenerys' expressionless face. They were suddenly shocked and said quickly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will release half of the slaves as soon as we return!"
Because of two years of war, those city-states suffered heavy casualties and their population was less than half or even one-third of what it was in their heyday. In order to recover, besides recuperating, another way was to immigrate their population.
The nobles of the city-states around Longwan took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, and now is the right time for them to pay some of it back.
With these people, Longwan will soon regain its vitality.
The establishment of Dragon Bay allowed Daenerys to have her own foundation. At the same time, she began to implement new policies in Dragon Bay.
At the same time, without the constraints of the slave owners, she began to actively promote trade. If she wanted to restore Longwan's prosperity, business was necessary and would produce the fastest results.
Daenerys ordered the promotion of commerce, and because Richard taught her a lot of techniques, Longwan's handicraft industry developed extremely rapidly.
Weaving, ceramics, spices, etc. are the key industries of Longwan. Through these trades, Longwan can obtain a large amount of materials and money.
In order to restore the vitality of those city-states, Daenerys began to pour a large amount of supplies here, and also migrated people from other cities here.
The purpose of migrating population is partly to supplement the population here, and partly to reduce the influence of local nobles.
After defeating the slave owners, Daenerys did not intend to send troops immediately to fight for the throne of the Seven Kingdoms. After the slave owner war, she already knew that her own strength and foundation were the basis for her to fight for the throne of the Seven Kingdoms.
So she planned to let Longwan rest for one to two years. At the same time, she began to send out a large number of spies to collect information about the current situation of the Seven Kingdoms. In fact, although there was a king sitting in the position of the lord of the Seven Kingdoms, the Seven Kingdoms were not stable.
In fact, there are also various contradictions in the Seven Kingdoms.
Daenerys needs to collect all kinds of information so that she can know the current situation of the Seven Kingdoms. She left here when she was very young, and this time she must return as a king.
With Daenerys's order, Dragon Bay began to enter a stage of rest and recuperation.
But under Daenerys, knight families began to emerge one after another. All of these knight families learned the knight's breathing method from Daenerys.
These families who became extraordinary knights are now Daenerys' most trusted subordinates.
The first few extraordinary knight families were all descended from slaves. Perhaps in the future there will be knight families of noble origin, but that should be a long time in the future.
In fact, even with the Knight Breathing Method, it is not that easy to become a knight. These people were able to become knights quickly because of the potion provided by Richard.
If people want to become knights in the future, they can only practice by themselves. And awakening the seed of life is not an easy thing.
Daenerys can control these knight families by controlling the potion that helps activate the Seed of Life.
In addition to these knight families, the more important thing is the wizard apprentices. From now on, all kinds of potions will basically be made by these wizard apprentices.
Daenerys' current strength has been enhanced by the Fruit of Eternity and has now reached the level of an intermediate wizard, capable of refining various conventional potions.
Richard handed over the control of this wizard tower to Daenerys. With Daenerys's strength, it would be easy for her to defend this place. However, even if Daenerys became the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms in the future, she would probably live here for a long time.
After all, this tower is not a floating tower and cannot be moved, and there are many things in it that are very important to Daenerys. In order to facilitate control, Daenerys can only live here for a long time.
With the collapse of slavery, Daenerys began to promote the feudal system. She followed Richard's advice and promoted the feudal lord system and the county system, combining the two together.
The world is also very large, and Daenerys cannot control all areas, so adopting this system is the best option.
Areas with convenient transportation, fertile land, and abundant resources were divided into counties and directly ruled by the state. Other areas where the roads were long and difficult to travel, or there were other inconveniences, were divided into feudal lords.
The feudal lords also need to abide by the laws of the country, but the civil and military affairs of the territory are the responsibility of the lords, and they are required to pay a portion of taxes every year.
This is also to benefit those who follow her. After all, interests are the essence of this world.
After three years of ruling, Daenerys has matured a lot. Many of her followers initially came for ideals and to abolish slavery. Now that slavery has become history in Slaver's Bay, it is natural to give these people some benefits.
We must not treat the heroes harshly. We must let them know that by following us, they can realize their dreams and have enough to eat at the same time.
This is also why, after defeating the slave owners' coalition, she did not accept the surrender of those nobles.
After all, there were only so many resources, and keeping these nobles would inevitably occupy some of the resources, and her meritorious officials would also occupy resources. Would she keep them to compete with her for food?
These nobles were naturally going to be cleaned out, but although their rights and wealth were deprived, Daenerys still left them a way out, which was to attend the Academy of Political Affairs.
Daenerys implemented the feudal system, which required a large number of officials. Many of these nobles had a certain level of cultural literacy, so it was possible to use them to teach others how to write.
Of course, when Daenerys used these people, she didn't trust them very much, and even didn't let them contact children to prevent them from using teaching to influence children's worldview. Instead, she let them teach the adults.
These adults were basically promoted from slaves by Daenerys, and would basically not be led astray by them.
Even so, Daenerys would often come to the Government Academy to teach those people in person, just to keep an eye on their situation.
Only after passing the test will these people be appointed.
Even if you don't like these people, you have to give them hope, so that they will work hard for this hope.
Just like after the Tang Dynasty, the number of candidates for the imperial examination was continuously expanded, and after the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial examination no longer dismissed the candidates. Why is there such a rule? It is because it has been done before.
Huang Chao proved that it was easier to break into Chang'an than to pass the exam to enter Chang'an, and Zhang Yuan proved the serious consequences of dismissing Jinshi from the palace examination.
The experiences of these two people also tell those in power that for those who are capable, it is much better to give them an official position of varying degrees and constrain them within the rules than to leave them alone.
Daenerys wants to bring everyone under this framework of rules. As long as they are within this framework, those people will not be able to turn the tables, and they can even be used by me.
Daenerys divided the knight families according to their military merits and made them the new nobles. The fiefs of these people were basically in mountainous areas or areas with inconvenient road transportation. There were also many barbarians or other races in the territories.
The cost and difficulty of ruling are high, which is not cost-effective for the country, but it is very suitable for enfeoffment.
These feudal knight nobles were powerful in themselves, and with the support of the country, the local barbarians were no match for them.
Knight families were soon established one after another.
These knight families are also the foundation of Daenerys. Daenerys, who controls the knights' advanced potions, is a well-deserved queen.
If the former nobility had not changed, they were doomed to be swept into the dustbin of history. A new aristocracy had been born.
The emerging nobles possessed the Knight's Breathing Technique and belonged to the extraordinary noble class. The nobles of this class were completely different from ordinary nobles.
They rely on Daenerys and are also one of the cornerstones of Daenerys' control over the empire.
The ones whose interests were most severely damaged by Daenerys's reform were the former slave owners and old nobles, but these nobles were not strong enough to resist.
After being unified, Longwan immediately showed great vitality. Daenerys' policies stabilized the business and political environment of the entire Longwan.
Trade, which had been reduced due to war and other reasons, began to increase. The city-states that had been reduced to ruins by the slave owners began to recover gradually under the influence of the economy.
At the same time, Daenerys reduced taxes and encouraged land reclamation, which attracted a large number of refugees. Many civilians who had originally fled the war also began to return.
