Chapter 49: Breaking up the old forces and redistributing benefits

After arranging the house raid, all the new freedmen looked at Jack with burning eyes, expecting him to continue punishing the slave owners.

The eyes of the Meereenese and slave-owning nobles were no longer filled with resentment, but with fear. Of course, they still resented Jack, but they did not dare to show it.

Jack didn't care. Meereen's population ratio was abnormal and normal for a slave society.

The entire city of Meereen has a population of 800,000, of which 600,000 are slaves.

So he didn't really care whether the people of Meereen resented him. These 600,000 slaves were the labor force he valued.

What's more, he will also try his best to collect the wealth of these nobles to support Atlantis, so it is impossible for him to coexist peacefully with this group of nobles no matter what.

After Dany takes Meereen, the nobles of Meereen are divided into three factions.

One is the conservative faction, and most of the Meereen nobles belong to this faction.

When the Dragon Mother conquered Meereen, they all hid in their pyramids and plotted their secrets.

They tend to drive away the Dragon Mother.

The second is the centrist, including the nobleman who later married Long Ma, the nobleman in charge, and the nobleman who is a religious leader.

The third is the radical faction, nicknamed Mr. Round Head, because people in this faction firmly support Long Ma’s reforms.

In order to show their determination to get rid of the old and welcome the new, they all shaved off their Guise-style hair, leaving only a bald head, so they were called the Round Head Party.

Their leader, Noble D, is known as Lord Roundhead.

In addition, this faction also formed an armed force, the Beast Face Army. After the Sons of the Harpy began their assassination activities, the Beast Face Army began to replace the Unsullied in street patrols, and also served as an intelligence agency similar to the CIA.

These three factions are all the same in Jack's eyes, and they are all nourishment for Atlantis.

Jack took the first step in searching for wealth, "because on the way here, Her Majesty the Queen was heartbroken when she saw 163 children who were crucified along the way. This is simply a cruel and unreasonable approach!"

"So the queen decided to crucify 163 nobles, so that they could also experience being exposed to the scorching sun and being pecked by crows!"

Jack's eyes cruelly glanced around the group of nobles. All the nobles looked away, not daring to look directly into Jack's eyes.

Ignoring the cheers of the new freedmen, Jack continued: "But the Mother of Dragons is also kind, she is unwilling to do that, otherwise what is the difference between her and those cruel people?

Therefore, the Mother of Dragons decided that in the next day, she would send people to the new free people, and based on the opinions of the new free people, she would select the 163 most cruel slave-owning nobles, confiscate 70% of their wealth, and use it to Let’s buy food so that everyone can have enough to eat! "

Jack originally wanted to confiscate all their wealth, but he was afraid that these people would jump to the wall in a hurry, so he kept 30% to boil the frog in warm water.

"Of course, the Mother of Dragons is not a dictator. We will also secretly send people to the homes of former free people to collect information. You can't choose not to do so, otherwise you may be targeted in the future."

Jack looked at the middle class people in Meereen with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, the nobles will also receive similar secret visits. They will be kept strictly confidential. Just say it boldly."

All the free people and nobles in Meereen did not expect that Jack's thoughts were so vicious. Once he was caught in an unannounced visit, he would either die or reveal a name.

But once this name is spoken, it means that this person has been offended, even if it is forced. Otherwise, why didn't you say it to others, but to me?

"In addition, from now on, any gathering of more than 10 people will be regarded as a gathering to cause trouble, and those who want to eat military sticks, well, disperse."

Jack dismissed everyone, but only eleven nobles were left after naming them. The other nobles glanced at these eleven nobles several times with gloomy expressions before leaving.

The eleven families who were named and left behind showed bitterness and unwillingness. They knew that they, who were already disliked, had been labeled as traitors.

"Everyone, don't be so gloomy. Come with me. Your chance to become rich is here."

Jack took them to the hall of the Great Pyramid, where a huge round table was placed.

In front of the round table is an extended staircase with a throne placed on it. However, the throne looks very rough and is obviously used for emergencies.

"Please take a seat, everyone." Jack came to the front of the round table, closest to the throne and sat down.

Everyone looked at each other, and then a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old had a straight face and sat directly on Jack's right side.

When Jack saw this, he smiled inwardly and saw the man's performance in his eyes, but Mantuo did not expect that Jack would see his determination.

Then everyone realized that this seat seemed not simple and took their seats one after another.

Jack crossed his hands on the table and smiled, "Now that everyone is seated, it means that you are willing to stand in line, right?"

Everyone was silent. What else could they do if they didn't stand in line? Even if the Mother of Dragons took people away and Meereen restored the old order, they would be ostracized by the nobles and the family would decline.

"Since not speaking means acquiescence, please, everyone, don't be so frustrated. Those arrogant old nobles will never accept you at all, and you will never be able to squeeze into their circle.

In this case, why not redistribute the interests, form a circle, exclude them, the old aristocrats, and become the core of power? "

Jack's words startled everyone. They had never thought about this problem. Because of their lack of family background, they tried their best to curry favor with the old nobles just to get their recognition.

Seeing the light flashing in everyone's eyes, Jack knew that they were moved. After all, no one wanted to be a licker.

And Jack understood that no matter where, the interests of the old and new forces would never be distributed fairly, otherwise Europe would not have accidentally fired guns in the past life, and two horrific world wars would have occurred in succession.

"Everyone, I am the father of dragons, the queen's hand of the mother of dragons, and the commander of the navy. I have the right to make decisions on many things.

For example, I have carefully observed the layout of Meereen and decided to divide Meereen into 13 special zones for management.

As for the management, in order to stabilize the situation in Meereen, I decided to select the local nobles of Meereen for governance."

Jack knocked on the round table in front of him, and the meaning was self-evident.

As expected, Jack's words made them brighten up, and they also understood what Jack meant. The reorganization of the power center will be carried out around this round table!

Then Jack clapped his hands, and Missandei appeared with a stack of papers and handed one to each noble.

It was the planning map of the 13 districts of Meereen, including the population distribution and prosperity of each district, which was clearly written on it.

"Everyone, this is the planning map. You can go back first. Someone will notify you to see me alone in the next period of time. I will determine which district you will manage based on your talents (wealth). After tomorrow, you will be the power core of Meereen!"
