Chapter 51: Sucking Full

"Money? I thought you were going to ask for something else." Dany blinked. She really thought Jack was going to suggest a new position or something.

After all, Jack did too many tricks, which made her both hate and desire him.

"I'm short of money. To be honest, I have nearly 7,000 Unsullied under my command, and I also have a large number of crew members waiting for me to support them. I'm poor."

The crying child gets the milk, especially Dany's, which is so rich and delicious.

"Then how much do you want? There will be a lot of places to spend money later, and I don't have much extra. I even gave you my body, you can't deduct all my money, right?"

This sentence made Jack, who was in the sage state, feel a little embarrassed. If he had known this earlier, he would not have had that shot in the morning. Now he felt a little embarrassed to ask for money.

"Then I don't want the money. Give me the high-level slaves of Meereen and use them as payment."

Dany appeared calm on the surface, but she was secretly happy in her heart. She knew clearly who her supporters were and who her enemies were.

After Meereen lost its slave trade and olive trees, its economy was bound to decline for a period of time, which was inevitable.

Therefore, those who can become teachers, clerks, bed slaves, doctors, and pastors after selling their bodies are not her allies.

These people have the conditions to live a wealthy life, so they naturally would not be willing to stay in Meereen and suffer poverty, so it would be better to sell them all for money. Now that Jack has taken the initiative to propose it, it saves a lot of time.

"Well, let's exchange these high-level slaves. Do you want to take these people with you?"

"Take it away. I have chosen a small island in the south as a stopover for the fleet. I need some high-level slaves who can read and write to help." Jack revealed a little about his situation.

"I see. When I come back, I'll have someone count the high-level slaves. You can take them away anytime. So, do you have any way to help me get through the early stages?"

Jack's hand squeezed the soft decompression device, and then gave Dany some reference suggestions.

"The first is the issue of the governance of Meereen. We need a simple and practical bureaucratic system to govern Meereen.

So I divided Meereen into 13 special districts for regional management. If we don't have talented people, we will select them from the local nobles of Meereen."

"Wait, those nobles almost hate us to death, how can they willingly help us?"

Jack then briefly told Dany about his plan, but omitted the details of the $500,000 bribe he received.

After listening to this, Dany had a new understanding of Jack's political tactics, but she was still a little worried and asked: "Are the eleven nobles you selected really reliable?"

"We don't need to consider whether they are reliable or not, what we need to do is how to make them reliable.

And don't worry, once they take office as the governor of the Special Administrative Region, they will be labeled as the Queen's Party, and they will have no choice but to rely on you.

And you underestimate the control that power has over people's hearts. People's greed is like a rolling stone on a mountain. Once it starts, it can't be stopped."

"What about the Imperial Conference? If we delegate power to them and let them collect taxes and manage things, then the Imperial Conference will be meaningless."

Jack shook his hand and said, "The Imperial Conference itself is meaningless. I suggest canceling the Imperial Conference and establishing a round table meeting.

Then a round table conference consisting of fourteen senators replaced the functions of the Privy Council.

To put it simply, all the positions in the Imperial Conference are set up as two positions: principal and deputy principal, and the power of seven people is dispersed to fourteen people. There is no essential change.

This will not only disperse power, but also attract the eleven nobles who are trying their best to get into the round table meeting."

Jack's idea was very simple. He divided the seven official positions of the Imperial Council into left and right. For example, his position of prime minister could be divided into prime minister and deputy prime minister.

As for whether his rights would be challenged by the deputy prime minister, Jack didn't care. The strength of his own power was the basis for safeguarding his power.

"There's no need to rush to fill the other fourteen positions. First, choose seven people you trust to serve as senior officials. As for the remaining seven positions with relatively less power, you can spread the word and tell them to wait and see how others perform. Let them go crazy and you can reap the benefits."

Daenerys looked at Jack in surprise, and then they kissed passionately for two minutes. Jack's method was so good.

This is not Westeros. She can set up a round table meeting without any obstacles. The power of the ministers is divided, which naturally makes it easier for her to control.

Coupled with the position of governor of the 13th Special District, she could easily win over a group of nobles loyal to her and directly realize the creation of a bureaucratic group from scratch.

Dani wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, changed her sitting position, and sat directly on Jack's legs. She asked excitedly: "What about the economy? Do you have any good ideas?"

According to Jack's method, the management problems of Meereen can be basically solved, but the economic problems have not been solved.

"The economic situation is a bit complicated and we can't solve it in a short time. We can only wait for the vines and olive trees to grow again and make money from wine and olive oil."

Danny's little face immediately lit up with praise when she heard Jack's words, but Jack's next words made Danny happy again.

"Even though we can't do anything about wine and olive oil, we can still intervene in other areas."

"The first is the Colosseum. The Colosseum will remain open, but we can use the excuse of providing security for the Unsullied to ask the owner of the Colosseum to give up 30% of the profits.

Then we control the opening betting of the arena. For example, from time to time we will bring out a newcomer with championship potential and let him challenge the old strong ones. We make money based on the odds.

Not all gladiators like to be free and live as ordinary people. On the contrary, most of them long for the cheers of the audience and the bonus after victory.

So gladiators didn't have to be slaves, they could be anyone who volunteered to be a gladiator! "

Jack's first solution was to continue operating the arena. Many gladiators had adapted to the life in the arena. They longed for blood and fighting, the honor of victory and generous bonuses.

Gladiators were not necessarily slaves, they could be anyone. In other words, any free man who was short of money or eager to fight could sign a contract with the arena and become a gladiator.

Therefore, Jack could easily set a high winning streak bonus to attract the free people to join the battle, and then open the market to make a fortune by operating behind the scenes.

As the Prime Minister and the Queen's right-hand man, he can arrange this matter personally, and the bribe he can receive from it will definitely not be low.

When it comes to things like corruption and bribery, Jack may have never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs run.

In ancient times, there was Qing Heshen, a very powerful official; today, there is Zhao Dehan, who never spends a penny. They are both "good examples" for Jack.
