Chapter 6: The Great and Small Kind Lords of Astapor

A month later, the king and his family traveled all the way and finally arrived in the north.

Even though they haven't seen each other for many years, they still have a good relationship, but their children don't seem to get along very well with each other.

However, the noble eldest daughter of Stark, Sansa Stark, seems to have been fascinated by the handsome prince.

But now no one knows that the handsome Prince Joffrey Baratheon is actually a tyrannical little monster.

Just like Jack didn't know that the docking fee in Astapor was one silver coin a day.

"Damn it, Poseidon, how dare you ask for a silver coin from me?" Jack cursed.

"Captain, one silver coin is actually not bad. Astapor is mainly engaged in maritime trade. Slaves are their most valuable asset. They are also the cheapest thing for merchants."

Newgate explained to Jack: "After the slaves are bought, they don't need to be paid wages, they just need to be fed so they won't starve to death, so the cost of one silver coin is completely acceptable to the merchants."

Jack actually knew something about this, just like the slave trade in the West in his previous life.

The prosperity of the entire Essos was built on the corpses of slaves.

The misery of a slave's life was far more tragic than one might imagine.

As a young man of the new generation who grew up in China, he had an instinctive resistance to slavery.

This is not to say that Jack is a saint, but the education Jack received over the past twenty years has made him instinctively resist slavery.

However, Jack had no intention of freeing the slaves himself, as that was the job of the Mother of Dragons.

His job was to build an unrivaled empire at sea, allowing him to live out his short life in freedom and luxury.

Of course, if Daenerys is willing to pay a sufficient price, he doesn't mind providing Daenerys with some proven reform ideas.

As for how to deal with the king and the nobles?

Rabbit's dragon-slaying technique is written in the textbooks of the nine-year compulsory education!

There are many good masters in Astapor. Jack plans to find a small slave owner to buy the Unsullied because it will be easier to bargain.

I took Newgate to find a hotel and said, "Boss, two rooms."

"Four silver coins."

"How much?" Jack's eyes widened. It wasn't that Jack had no money, nor was it that Jack was stingy, but this was too expensive!

Generally speaking, two rooms would cost at most two silver coins, and the normal price should be one silver coin.

However, the innkeeper said confidently: "You can leave if you don't want to stay, but I guarantee that you will come back to me in the end and hand over the four silver coins obediently."

The hotel owner was very sure that his hotel was the cheapest in the area. After all, he was the only one in the area that charged the least to outsiders.

They have their own way of judging people, and can tell at a glance whether a person is from Slave Bay.

Jack's eyes twitched, but he finally took out four silver coins.

Damn it, Astapor is so close to the sea. When my fleet becomes powerful, I will come to rob you every day. Just wait.

The broad-minded Jack took note of this grudge and decided to collect protection money every four weeks.

Damn it, you don't run a business in the city, and you dare to ask for such a price.

The most famous places in Slaver's Bay are the three cities of Meereen, but there are countless villages and towns around the three cities.

At the same time, there are a large number of slave owner's estates, where various valuable spices are grown.

As for food, it is generally grown by free people, while slave owners prefer to buy food from the Laza people.

"Captain, I can sleep on the floor. There is no need to book two rooms."

Jack waved his hand, signaling Newgate not to worry, "I don't need this little money, but he dared to rip me off, and that's what he did wrong."

Is it true that only pirates kill people, but beggars kill pirates?

Newgate was deeply moved. He thought Jack booked an extra room out of consideration for him.

In fact, for Jack, when taking his men on a business trip, of course they have to pay for their accommodation, and Newgate, who has been a slave since birth, can be deeply moved by any benefit.

They will rest here tonight and then go into the city to buy the Unsullied the next day.

Then the two found a table in the lobby and Jack ordered two grilled sausages and toast.

Jack almost had a stomachache from eating grilled fish and dry bread on the boat.

As a modern man reborn, he doesn't eat raw food like Poseidon.

Or maybe someone with a stutter like Newgate would be fine, but Jack is very pretentious.

Jack now has 700 gold coins in his hand. If he didn't have to drill through the bottom of the boat every time, his gains would definitely be more than that.

But this situation will soon end. After buying the Unsullied, he will be able to buy a large ship for zero dollars and then rob on the sea.

That's right, after Jack had enough Unsullied, the first thing he planned to do was to go buy some at Zero Dollar.

Soon the grilled sausages and bread came up. Even though Newgate had tasted hot pot and instant noodles, grilled sausages were still a rare delicacy for him.
