From the beginning of the game of power, I became the protagonist

Although they couldn't figure out what the girl with the three dragons was planning, the transaction had been successfully completed and the other party didn't play any tricks, so the philanthropists who made a fortune didn't bother to care.

For the next half month, Daenerys stayed in her own territory with an army of nearly 10,000 Unsullied and refused to go out.

It was not until a huge Qarth fleet arrived and boxes of goods began to be loaded onto the ships that the benevolent lords, who had long been very curious, finally knew what Daenerys had made in the past half month. It was a brand new item called "porcelain".

Well, it’s the super black technology that in ancient China almost sucked away one-third of the world’s silver production.

Seeing the beautiful objects in their hands that looked like gold and jade, and feeling the smooth texture that was far more delicate than a girl's skin, the benefactors with extremely keen sense of smell immediately understood the huge potential of this object called "porcelain".

It is no exaggeration to say that it has the supreme charm to conquer the whole world.

At this point, all the good people could no longer sit still.

Wave after wave of people went to Daenerys's mansion to seek an audience. All the good leaders expressed their willingness to cooperate, and the conditions they offered were higher than the last, and their urgency was stronger than the last.

And when the boxes of gold payments from Qarth were delivered into the mansion, the psychological bottom line of all the good lords was finally completely broken. One after another, they knelt down in front of Daenerys and willingly swore allegiance to the Mother of Dragons, just to let them share the huge profits of the porcelain business.

As for robbing, are you crazy? All the Unsullied in the city are in Daenerys's hands. She is the only one who can rob others, not others.

In this way, Daenerys occupied the entire Astapor without bloodshed, freed all the slaves, and gave them the status of free people.

Then, countless porcelain caves were built in this city, and large-scale production of this peerless treasure, which had been famous in another world for thousands of years, began.

With the cooperation of the tycoons in Qarth, the world's largest port city, the porcelain produced in Astapor can be sold very conveniently to every city on this continent, bringing Daenerys countless wealth.

Not only did the original good lords of this city make a fortune, but even many wise and great lords in the other two slave city-states, Yunkai and Meereen, could no longer hold back and flocked to Astapor to ask Daenerys for cooperation.

Then, Daenerys sternly rejected it.

The reason is simple. She will not cooperate with slave owners. The prerequisite for cooperation is to release all slaves first.

Since they are not in the same city, the wise and great lords of Yunkai and Meereen do not have a strong impression of Daenerys's powerful military strength and do not feel much fear.

Therefore, after being sternly rejected, the wise and great lords who coveted the huge profits from porcelain jointly invested and hired many mercenary organizations including the "Second Sons" and the "Golden Group" to launch a massive attack on Astapor, intending to seize the porcelain business.

Then, let’s not mention the deputy leader of the Second Sons, who, just like in the TV series, immediately turned against Daenerys the moment he saw her.

Chen Hui's Unsullied Legion, which had been upgraded with the knowledge from the "Wu Mu Testament" over the past few months, was able to slay all the invading enemies without leaving a single one alive, even killing the leader of the "Golden Group", so that he would not come to him to ask for the "Black Fire" sword in the future.

Several major mercenary groups were either annihilated or surrendered. Only then did the many wise and great lords of Yunkai and Meereen understand the significance of the Mother of Dragons and the Storm Swordmaster.

In order to retaliate, Daenerys mobilized the joint fleets of Astapor and Qarth at the suggestion of Chen Hui, completely cutting off the two cities' access to the sea, making it impossible for the slave goods they produced to be exported.

The wise and great lords, who had run out of ammunition and food, finally lowered their heads, knelt down together in front of Daenerys, and swore allegiance to the Mother of Dragons.

At this point, the three major slave city-states completely surrendered, and all elected Daenerys as the common ruler of the three cities, and officially crowned her as the common king of "Yunkai", "Meereen" and "Astapor" - the Dragon Queen.

And all this took only more than three months.

After being crowned the Dragon Queen and ruler of the Three Cities, Daenerys freed all the slaves as she had promised.

Then he got the production methods of "sea salt" and "cast steel" from Chen Hui, and completely turned the three cities into three huge factories. He mobilized all manpower to start producing various ancient Chinese black technology products for the entire Essos continent, and earned unimaginable huge wealth.

As for the "Sons of the Harpy" who were constantly causing trouble in the TV series, they've all gone to the factory to screw screws. Who would be so bored as to go out and fight? Isn't it nice to make a little money?

Chapter 41 Where money gathers, disputes follow

"So, this is 'productive forces determine production relations' and 'the economic base determines the superstructure', right?"

Standing on the tallest tower in Meereen, Daenerys, dressed in gorgeous robes and wearing a crown on her head, gazed at the bustling scene below and pondered with emotion.

"There's more to it than that." Chen Hui smiled and said, "There's also 'seek common ground while reserving differences' and 'unite the majority and strike back at the minority.'"

"If you hadn't offered those slave owners monstrous benefits to voluntarily surrender, you wouldn't have been able to completely control three major city-states in just a few months without causing any trouble."

"These benevolent and virtuous leaders are certainly bastards, but it's undeniable that they are also very powerful and influential bastards."

"As long as we utilize their strengths, avoid their weaknesses, and draw a circle to restrict them, these people can become your powerful arms, Daenerys, to expand your territory and stabilize your country."

"To be inclusive is the way of a king."

"Taking a deep look at the handsome young man beside her, who was full of energy and spirit, Daenerys, who had been astonished countless times by his great talent and wisdom over the past few months, unconsciously leaned over and whispered to him, "Why do you still refuse to agree to be my Hand of the King? What do you want, a dragon or me? Just say it, and I will agree to anything."

Feeling the fiery warmth of her body against his own, and thinking that the person beside him was his blood aunt and cousin, Chen Hui's Chinese values ​​subtly resonated with a resistance to incest. He gently pushed Daenerys away, put his arm around her shoulders, and comforted her, "I hope you're happy, Daenerys. You've had a very unhappy life, with few people showing you kindness. I hope your path will be smoother, without so many setbacks."

"You are a kind person and should be treated kindly by the world."

When he thought of this kind-hearted girl in the TV series who risked her own life to free all the slaves, and was finally forced by reality to set fire to all the people in King's Landing and replace Jon Snow's identity, Chen Hui, with a trace of guilt in his heart, sincerely hoped that she would not have to live such a hard life this time.

"Even my own brother never treated me this well." Daenerys thought, feeling a pang of sadness. "When he gave me to Drogo, he said he wouldn't mind sleeping with all his tribe, even the horses, at once."

"He got what he wanted, didn't he?" Chen Hui gently wiped away the tears that fell from the girl's eyes, and with a look of disgust on his face, he chuckled and said, "At least when he was killed, he wore the golden crown he had always dreamed of. I have to say, your ex-husband's move was really impressive. I really wish I had been there to see it with my own eyes."

Perhaps thinking back to that exhilarating moment, Daenerys's mood improved slightly. She smiled and said, "Yes, he always thought he was a real dragon, until that moment he realized he wasn't."

"Speaking of which, how's that three-headed dragon?" Chen Hui didn't want to continue discussing this and changed the subject, "Can I ride it now?"

"You just want to ride my dragon all day long." Daenerys rolled her eyes at Chen Hui and said, "Bai Ya has complained to me several times, saying that you always want Drogon to take you flying, and no matter how reluctant Drogon is, you won't let him go."

Drogon is the largest of the three dragons and has grown to the size of a calf.

Because dragons are of great benefit to wizards, Daenerys arranged a group of wizards led by Bayapuri to take care of and guard them. As for Chen Hui, he would often harass them, wanting to try the feeling of flying on a dragon as soon as possible.

"It's really strange," Daenerys said curiously. "No one but me can touch those three dragons. Even Baya, who has been taking care of them, doesn't dare to get close. Only you can ride them without any scruples, and they won't bite you."

"Because I'm a Targaryen too, little aunt." Chen Hui muttered to himself, then replied nonchalantly, "Maybe it's because I have a connection with Blackfire. The scent of dragon flame clung to me, so the little dragon mistook me for one of its kind, so it wouldn't bite me."

Chen Hui smiled slightly smugly at this and said, "Besides, with my strength, even if they dare to move their mouths, they will have to consider whether they will break all their teeth."

Daenerys rolled her eyes again upon hearing this, and said unhappily, "Don't bother harming those dragons. I'll tell you when they can carry people flying. I'm thinking of riding them and flying as soon as possible."

"When you can fly high on a dragon, you can conquer all the Dothraki forces on the grasslands." Chen Hui said in a calm voice, "These horse thieves have robbed us of a lot of things recently."

When Daenerys heard this, her face darkened and she began to grit her teeth.

Although Chen Hui and Daenerys have now completely controlled the three city-states and not caused any waves; but with the huge profits brought by the goods, many pirates and horse thieves have also set their sights on this place, especially the Dothraki tribe that roams the grasslands, who frequently plunder their caravans and steal many precious goods.

Although Daenerys is also a Khaleesi on the grassland, the nomadic people are mountainous and have many internal conflicts. Moreover, after the death of Khal Drogo, only a small number of warriors in the tribe truly follow Daenerys. Her prestige on the grassland is far less than imagined.

At least it is far from enough to make these horse thieves ignore the huge profits brought by porcelain.

There was no way around it. In just a few months, porcelain had become the best-selling commodity in the entire Essos continent. No matter nobles or commoners, they were all fascinated by its beauty and mystery. In many places, there were even murders in the fight for a piece of exquisite porcelain. It was more fascinating than gold and silver.

I can only say that this is worthy of being the super black technology of ancient China that has attracted global wealth for thousands of years. It is really terrifying.

As for using the Unsullied to deal with those Dothraki cavalry, Chen Hui could only say that it was definitely overthinking.

No matter how powerful "Wu Mu's Testament" is, it is not powerful enough to allow infantry to catch up with cavalry. Unless Chen Hui can create the ace cavalry recorded in the testament - the "Beiwei Army", there is really no good way to deal with these nomadic peoples.

After all, in the era of cold weapons, cavalry was the absolute king.

Looking back over thousands of years of ancient China, countless great emperors emerged, but they had no good way to deal with the nomadic peoples in the north. They were burned, killed, and looted from time to time, and even their country was destroyed more than once.

Therefore, when the 'Beiwei Army', the strongest type of army that requires the whole country's strength to forge even in a unified dynasty, cannot appear, if you want to subdue a large number of nomadic cavalrymen from the grasslands of the Dothraki tribe, you can only rely on Daenerys's dragon.

No matter how powerful the cavalry is, they are powerless against the air force that can fly in the sky.

Chapter 42: There are no real friends in politics

"Don't overthink it, Daenerys."

Gently patting the girl's shoulder, Chen Hui smiled calmly and said, "These horse thieves are just a minor problem. Once your dragon grows up, it will be easy to defeat them."

"Those people arguing down there are the ones you should really be concerned about. After all, they are both your brothers and your supporters, but they are also your inner troublemakers."

As the industries in the three cities have undergone earth-shaking changes, the original urban structure is naturally no longer applicable and must be appropriately renovated and transformed.

However, since the manufacture of goods has already absorbed too much manpower, the manpower and material resources that can be spared can only be used to transform one city at most.

As for the remaining two, they will have to be postponed for the time being.

So, here comes the question.

Which city should be transformed first?

Daenerys originally wanted to make her own decision, but was stopped by Chen Hui, who told her a story of "Two Peaches Killing Three Warriors".

Then, Chen Hui told Daenerys to leave the issue to the former benevolent and wise rulers to discuss on their own, and she could just sit back and watch the fight.

And this is also the art of ruling.

When you encounter something that is difficult to balance, you must learn to turn your troubles into other people's troubles, let those people kill each other, and you can reap the benefits.

After all, if the subordinates are harmonious, the ruler's authority will be greatly weakened.

In this way, the effect is surprisingly good.

Due to the growing demand across the entire Essos continent, many goods cannot be produced in a timely manner, and the delivery dates have been postponed to several years later.

Countless orders came in like snowflakes from all directions, bringing in huge deposits that filled the treasury. Countless treasures were even piled directly onto the square, leaving no time to build new warehouses to store them.

Therefore, whichever city completes the transformation first and expands its production capacity will be able to get a big piece of the pie in these prepaid orders first.

This concerns the vital interests of all leaders in the city and there is absolutely no room for compromise.

It is precisely because the contradictions are irreconcilable that these once benevolent and wise rulers, now the leaders of various city-states, quarreled and argued at the consultation meeting, and even fought from time to time.

If Chen Hui had not anticipated this and asked Daenerys to send the Unsullied to maintain law and order, and if every participant entering the venue had not been searched first to make sure that they did not bring in any weapons or knives.

I guess there are already corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river here.

Even so, after each meeting, the Unsullied would carry out a dozen former slave owners with bruised faces and noses from the venue. The parties could be said to be incompatible.

It seems that it won't be long before these people will actively beg Daenerys to come out and take charge of the situation.

"It doesn't really matter to us which city undergoes the transformation first."

Chen Hui analyzed calmly, "But it is very important to make these former slave owners hostile to each other and beg Daenerys to make the decision."

"These guys are not good guys. You have to use them, but you also have to guard against them."

"You have to mix in some sand from time to time. You can't let them live in peace. If they live in peace, then you won't be at peace."

"We are outsiders after all, and our background here is far inferior to these things."

"Only by letting them kill each other and consume each other's internal resources can we always remain at our own ease and reap the benefits."

"do you understand?"

Several months of experience have transformed Daenerys. Upon hearing this, she immediately nodded in understanding, feeling safe in her heart.

After all, it feels so good to have a solution to any problem.

In Daenerys's turbulent life, she had never felt so comfortable and smooth.

And all of this was brought about by the powerful man in front of him.

Just as the Dragon Queen's eyes became more and more blurred and she couldn't help but want to move closer, the sound of footsteps suddenly came.

Then he saw Ser Barristan Selmy the Fearless, one of Daenerys's Kingsguard, approaching quickly.

That’s right, this old man was kicked out by Joffrey just like in the TV series, and ran to the continent across the sea to join Daenerys.

Including the previous wizard Bayaburri, Daenerys now has three Kingsguards.

There was another person, Missandei, the female translator she asked to come in the TV series, and she also asked to come this time.

Since Chen Hui felt that Daenerys was a woman, it would be inconvenient for the all-male Iron Guard to be with her.

Therefore, when he saw this girl who he had a good impression of in the TV series, he specially tested her physique and found that she was actually quite good.

Although she was not as talented as Arya, she was definitely an excellent choice. Therefore, after asking about her wishes, she was sworn in as Daenerys's Kingsguard, and Arya was responsible for training her skills.

As for the person who was originally responsible for Daenerys's training, after repeatedly testing Daenerys's physique, Chen Hui told her very subtly that her talent in martial arts was basically the same as Arya's talent in dragon riding.

Well, that’s about the same as nothing.

So, there is no need to waste time. Just train a female guard to provide close protection.

Daenerys gracefully accepted the result. If she hadn't stepped hard on Chen Hui the next second, Chen Hui would have thought she had let it go.

Daenerys, I suppose, has never seen any kung fu? Where did she learn such a deft foot-stomping technique? Why don't we see her using it in the TV series?

Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore.

Chapter 43: Daenerys in Her Arms

Seeing Ser Barristan approaching, Daenerys nodded and asked, "Ser Barristan, is there anything urgent?"

"I just received a letter from the North," Ser Barristan said as he took out a piece of letter paper and looked at Chen Hui beside him and said, "It's addressed to Lord Jon."

Chen Hui frowned slightly when he heard this, took the letter and started reading it. It turned out that the "War of the Four Kings" had come to an end.
