Chapter 254: Troubled times use heavy code
When consciousness returned to his body again, Daenerys told Lu Xuan about this magical experience.
After hearing this, Lu Xuan thought for a moment and then asked.
"Where is your dragon now?"
Daenerys suddenly woke up when she heard this.
"It's a dragon, I just entered the perspective of my dragon." She shouted in surprise.
"It should be that. There have always been beast spirit walkers (changeers) in the continent of Westeros. That is one of the few magic traces after Valylia's destruction. Now it seems that you are a walker who is one level higher than them. Danni, you are a dragon spirit walker."
Dragon Spirit Walker is a noble word. It is indeed quite extraordinary. Just talking about Daenerys being able to enter the dragon's perspective and traverse the sky is already a strategic level. At that time, no matter where the enemy is attacking, how many people come, and what arrangements are made, you can easily have an insight in advance.
This is just the initial Dragon Spirit Walker. If you advance one step, you should be able to possess a dragon like a beast Spirit Walker and directly control the dragon to fight. The dragon's body and human wisdom are definitely a strategic level power in this world.
Daenerys was still unable to light the glass candle. The main reason was that she still couldn't gather magic outside of her body. But it didn't matter. She had already mastered the use of magic. It was only a matter of time for her to do things like glass candles.
The morning's practice is over. The afternoon is the time to deal with government affairs.
The person who reported on government affairs was Misandai, a little maid who was proficient in multiple languages, collected reports sent by various departments, sorted them out, and handed them over to Daenerys. This was no longer just a maid's job, but an elite assistant. In time, Lu Xuan even planned to let the girl hold a specific official position.
"We are currently facing three major problems. One is the city's trade activities, which are currently in a stagnant state. Because of the previous wars, most of the marshals at the port left to take refuge. Although the Dragon Queen has issued a notice to re-trade, the effect is average, and the number of marshals in these Tianhai are still not large. Many of the liberated slaves in the city cannot find jobs. We extracted some people and formed a brand new army. But there are still a lot of idle population."
"It's not their fault. Daenerys just ruled here and liberated the slaves again. They came here to buy slaves. Now there are no slaves, and Astapo's attraction to them naturally decreased."
Speaking of the three cities in Slave Bay, each has its own characteristics. The three cities are mainly slave trade. However, Astarpo's characteristics are the Unscrupulous, Meereen is the Gladiator, and Yuankai is the bed slave (both men and women are both).
Daenerys looked at Lu Xuan.
"Sir Lu, do you have any suggestions?"
Lu Xuan thought for a while and asked, "Do we have money?"
"There are many, if there are specific numbers, it's been a month, and the statistics have not been completed yet!"
How rich the Astabo people are unimaginable. These cities mainly rely on the slave trade. There are many slaves in the city, and the ratio to the free people is five to one!!!
What is this? You should know that it is impossible for slaves to have any property. All property is concentrated in the hands of free people and nobles. Among them, nobles account for more than 95%.
After hundreds of years of accumulation, all of them fell into Daenerys' hands. This made Daenerys not count how much money she had.
"That's very simple. We can just buy food."
“We are not short of food now.”
"But there will be a shortage in the future. In any case, the city we captured has broken the rules of the entire Esos. Now, on this continent, all slave owners are our enemies. Of course, all slaves are also our potential allies. But at present, they do not have much strength. So, we need to be prepared to be besieged. So, starting to store food from now on, we will always use it to sell as much as possible. Golden coin will only be covered with dust. It is better to turn it into useful materials.
At the same time, we can also send a signal that the Dragon Queen is willing to do business with anyone. As long as it is profitable, those merchants will always be willing to take risks. Note that we are just dominating Astabo at present. Therefore, those merchants who come and go are outsiders, so don’t be too harsh or not to use slaves.
Just follow our laws and let them trade freely. In addition to slaves, there are also a large number of plantations in the city. Olive oil, fruits, bronzes, sugar and seafood are all excellent commodities. Let them trade freely, and as a queen, you only need to collect taxes. Let the docks be busy again. Those liberated slaves will be able to find jobs. This will also help the stability of the city."
"Okay, Misandai, write it down and do it then."
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen."
"The other problem is the problem that Sir Lu said before. We have captured the two cities of Astabo, Yuankai and Meere, and there have been many rumors about the Queen recently. They say that the Queen is about to attack Meerebo and Yuankai and will kill all slave owners. The rumors are very prosperous now. The two cities have cut off trade with Astabo."
In a typical public opinion war, Daenerys' image first becomes a great devil who kills without blinking an eye, so as to gather people's hearts and fight against Daenerys together. After all, Astabo changed hands overnight. Hundreds of good masters, the killed sons and grandsons still a little scared the slave owners of the two sister cities.
"This is simple. How many good masters in our city are not dead."
Yes, although hundreds of them were killed, they were all good masters who mainly dealt with the ruthless people and the slave trade. There were also many good masters who dealt with sugar, olive oil, copperware, fruits, and seafood, but were not liquidated.
"There are at least thirty more. They were not in the city before, so they were no longer on the first hunting list. But now all of these people are controlled by us. As long as the Queen gives the order, they can be cleaned up immediately."
"No, these people cannot be killed now. As long as they are willing to give their slaves freedom, they are legal merchants in the city. As compensation, Her Majesty can even reduce their trade tax for one year as compensation. Find someone to pass this announcement to all the good Lords who are not dead."
After studying with Lu Xuan for a while, Daenerys was no longer a novice. She quickly understood what Lu Xuan meant.
"We want them to reappear in front of the world in a high profile. Tell everyone that I will not only not kill all slave owners, but even those who surrender to me will also receive rewards."
"Yes, when someone kneels down to you, you have to help them up with your own hands. Find some time and give those people some support in a public occasion. Not only can they not let them go bankrupt, but they also have to make their business bigger."
"I understand. Then we have one last question. Last night, four Unscrupulous people were assassinated while patrolling. There seemed to be a secret organization called the Son of the Hawks in the city, which was secretly resisting us."
