Chapter 69: Dany is getting smarter

The same thing happened in Meereen, but in addition to the land being eroded by salt, even the manors were burned to the ground.

Almost all of the fiefdoms that Dany awarded to Jack were these burned manors.

At the dinner table, half of the whole bottle of Poseidon Wine was quickly drunk.

Seeing that Jack's glass was empty again, Mando immediately wanted to pour him some wine.

At this moment, Jack suddenly reached out and pressed the bottle.

Mando was stunned and looked at Jack in confusion, not knowing what he meant.

Jack smiled and said, "Lord Mantuo, there is only half of this bottle of wine left. I plan to bring it to His Majesty to taste. His Majesty has heard of this fine wine a long time ago.

If this bottle of wine is less than half full, I will not be able to explain to His Majesty, and His Majesty will definitely not have enough to drink, and if it is not enough, he may vent his anger on you and me."

When Jack's words fell into Mando's ears, he immediately understood what Jack meant.

"Prime Minister, is it really appropriate to give this half bottle of wine to His Majesty?"

Jack smiled and said, "Half is enough. With your Majesty's alcohol tolerance, you can only drink half a bottle."

Mantuo smiled and whispered, "Well, I wonder how much the Prime Minister can drink?"

Jack laughed when he heard this and waved his hand quickly, "How about your majesty, half and half?"

Mantuo chuckled, "The Prime Minister's alcohol tolerance is really good."

At this time, Mantuo already had an idea of ​​how much corruption fee he had to pay in the evening, and couldn't help but secretly curse Jack for being greedy.

"Waiter, another bottle of wine." Mantuo shouted outside.

Then he said to Jack, "People here have to call waiters. There are a lot of rules. After entering, you have to follow the rules. You can see how powerful the forces behind it are."

Jack glanced at Mantuo and found that the ancients were not fools.

However, in the eyes of others, his relationship with the Giant Wave Chamber of Commerce was indeed too close.

Not many people in Meereen or even in the world know Jack's true identity.

Speaking of Meereen, only Dany, Jorah, Barristan, Grey Worm, and Missandei know.

These people followed Dany at the beginning. At that time, Jack had no intention of coming to Dany to eat and drink for free, so he did not deliberately hide his identity.

But the others didn't know. Jack specifically told Dany and the others to try not to reveal their identities, otherwise he would go back to Atlantis and continue being a pirate.

Jack did not tell everyone his whole situation, and Dany and the others just thought that Atlantis was a large-scale pirate organization.

However, in the face of Mantuo's probing, Jack did not hide anything and said directly:

"To be honest, this Chamber of Commerce is rich and has given me many gifts, so I naturally have to take care of it."

After getting the answer she wanted, Mando suddenly understood what was going on and thought to herself that Jack really loved money like his life.

If Jack knew this, he would definitely punch the old man Mando to death. Atlantis is just starting to make money.

But there are more places to spend money than in Meereen. If he doesn't make more money, Atlantis will become an unfinished building.

Just as Jack was drinking and eating with Mandor, Dany summoned Barristan.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to talk to me about?" Barristan asked after arriving at the Dragon Tower.

Dany motioned for Barristan to sit down and talk.

"Ser Barristan, I have selected thirty young men of reasonable ability from among the free folk of Meereen, and the Lhaza who are our allies have sent us twenty more.

I need you to train them into real knights, the kind that can lead troops into battle."

Barristan was a little stunned. Why did he have to look for him alone when he could just hand it over to Jorah to train together?

Although he was a little confused, Barristan did not ask any more questions and agreed directly.

"Ser Barristan, Jack once said something to me in Qarth. I don't know whether it is true or not."

Barristan frowned slightly when he heard this, feeling that something was wrong with Dany.

But then Dany told Barristan what Jack had said.

Barristan frowned upon hearing this. "I didn't pay attention to what happened on Bear Island when I left Westeros, so I'm not sure if Jorah Mormont can be trusted."

"That's why I need you to train fifty knights who can lead troops into battle, and then have them lead the three freeman legions."

Barristan immediately understood that Dany was worried about Jorah's identity, so she was dispersing Jorah's power.

He looked at Dany with satisfaction, "I see in you all the qualities of a wise monarch. Your talents are comparable to those of your pioneer ancestors!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will train fifty qualified knights for you in the shortest possible time."

Dany quickly denied it, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Her ancestor Aegon Targaryen conquered Westeros with three dragons. Daenerys Targaryen also has three dragons, so she will definitely be able to regain the Iron Throne.

And sometimes after exercising with Jack, Jack would tell her some little tricks on how to manage a country and his subordinates while enjoying the afterglow.

As she exercised more and more, Dany naturally learned a lot of practical knowledge.

For example, now, the former Dany would never have thought of dividing the military power from Jorah.

In the original series, Jorah and Barristan can do a lot for Dany, and can even serve as Dany's advisors on matters big and small, and have a lot of decision-making power.

But after Jack appeared, he not only replaced the positions of the two advisers, but also formed a bureaucratic group for Dany, relieving Dany of the worries of governing Meereen.

This also led to the fact that Barristan and Jorah could only develop in the direction of military generals.

Barristan was fine. Joffrey dismissed him from the position of captain of the Kingsguard, which made him lose face. But he was also a Kingsguard of Dany's father, so Dany could naturally use him with confidence.

But Jorah is different. His identity cannot withstand investigation at all because he was sent by the Iron Throne to monitor Daenerys.

Otherwise, in the original drama, the old lion would not have directly exposed Jorah's identity after Jorah's rebellion, causing Daenerys to cut off her own arm.

So now, even though Dany had told Jorah before, "I trust you completely," she would not entrust nearly 20,000 new soldiers to Jorah.

However, Dany did not think that Jorah was an undercover agent, after all, Jack was a liar.

But, I just have to worry, what if Jorah is really an undercover agent?

Will he rebel and kill her at the critical moment of her fight for the Iron Throne?

So Dany has to be on guard.

Just like Jack said last night: A suspicious king lives longer!

After Barristan left, Dany sat in her seat and thought for a long time.

After more than an hour, she got up and left. She was going to feed the dragon, following Jack's method!
