Chapter 52 Population Arrangement

"Secondly, if we overthrow slavery, we must have a new system to provide jobs for the freed slaves, that is, work. Otherwise, they will be idle all day and there will be unrest in the end.

So we can build some official blacksmith shops, tailor shops and other shops, and then recruit other people as apprentices.

Apprentices have no wages, only food and accommodation, and can choose to stay or leave after learning the skills.

If you stay to work, you will be given a suitable salary, and there will be benefits at the end of each year, and the salary will be slightly increased in the second year."

"Then select a part of the young and strong to form a free people's corps to go to the Kaiser Pass, where they will build fortifications and train soldiers. .

We build manors and then hire slaves who have no skills. We only need to provide them with food and very low wages to let them plant olive trees and vines.

We also need people to dig canals to treat salt-contaminated land, build roads to the Kesser Pass and defensive castles along the way.

In addition, I am willing to take in some slaves to relieve the pressure on Meereen.

In this way, we also spend money to get through the early stage, but we avoid many problems and make full use of all available resources. "

Dany in the original play has been spending money to support this group of slaves after liberating them, causing her to keep investing in them without any positive returns.

Once Dany has no money, the food in Meereen will become less and less. Without food, any liberator will be driven out.

"Finally, it's the question of allies. Meereen has allies, so we naturally have to win over allies.

The Lazars are a very good choice. They are not only good at growing food, but also good at grazing."

Dani suddenly reacted at this time, "So you placed the new legion of free people in the pass of Kesser?"

"Yes, come, I'll reward you with a kiss."

In the original book, Dany abolished slavery, and Meereen lost the means to conduct economic exchanges with the outside world.

And the land in the Slaver's Bay was covered with salt by the Valyrians during the Valyria-Ghis War.

Therefore, most of the land in Meereen is uncultivated land, and food is mainly obtained through foreign trade, one is through sea trade, and the other is river trade.

There is a river called Skahazaban next to the city of Meereen, which leads all the way inland.

At the end of the river is the settlement of the agricultural nation Lazars, which is the place where Khal Drogo was injured and infected and died in the first season. The Lazars will trade food with Meereen.

If we want to trade grain with the Laza people on the Laza Plain, we must pass through the Kesser Pass. This is the only way and we must keep it. Only in this way can we stabilize the grain price in Meereen.

Jack rewarded Dany with a one-minute kiss. Regardless of Dany's panting, he continued:

"We must not only maintain normal trade with the Laza people, but also give up some of our interests to win over the Laza people."

"Then, how are you going to give up your interests?" Dany slowly recovered her breath.

"If we raise the price of grain by 10%, the Laza people will definitely be willing to sell grain to us, and then send the Unsullied to provide them with protection. As a price, they only need to pay some grain."

When it comes to the Unsullied, Dany immediately becomes serious, "The Unsullied are the foundation of my rule. If too many Unsullied are sent, the nobles in the city may be ready to move."

"There is no need to send too many Unsullied. After liberating the slaves, we will not engage in slave trade. An important source of income for the Dothraki is to trade with the three cities of Slaver's Bay with the population captured in the looting.

Now that there is no slave trade, the Dothraki will not approach the Slaver's Bay to loot. Two thousand people are enough to show sincerity, and then cooperate with a part of the free people's army."

Dany nodded. If this is the case, it is acceptable. If the food supply can be guaranteed, then these costs are not considered costs.

Providing protection for the cowardly sheep people and then obtaining food is a normal transaction.

But in the past, most of the sheep people's food could only be sold to slave owners at a low price.

Then the centaurs often come to rob them. Sometimes, as soon as they sell their grain, they are sent to the slave owners who buy the grain.

Not only does the grain belong to them, but even the people belong to the slave owners. Therefore, the Lhasa people are most hostile to the centaurs, followed by the slave owners.

So Jack's condition is to win over the Lhasa people, which is considered to be a relatively stable grain base for Meereen.

"However, Dany, we must pay attention to the training of the Freemen's Corps, otherwise we can't defend the Kessel Pass, and everything will be empty talk."

"Well, don't worry, I understand the importance of the Kessel Pass. I will let Grey Worm lead some second-level officers to train the Freemen's Corps. How many people do you think are suitable?"

"The population of Meereen plus the surrounding manors, towns and villages is at least two million, and we can probably pull out 20,000 Freemen's Corps. In my opinion, we will recruit 18,000 people and divide them into three corps, named after your three good sons."

"Okay, let's do it this way. Do you have any other opinions?" Dany looked at Jack expectantly.

Jack certainly has other ways. He previously followed an up master named "The Great Alliance of Time Travelers", which explains in detail how to make money by traveling to the ancient world.

(PS: Brothers who are interested can go and have a look, Douyin, maybe one day you will travel through time, right?)

Refined salt, glass, soap, papermaking, curved plow, advanced waterwheel, high-purity alcohol, etc., are all explained.

Although Jack didn't remember everything, he remembered most of it. The part he didn't remember can be studied by himself.

These are monopoly-level technologies with great ability to make money, so naturally we have to consider the development of Atlantis first.

However, we can consider looking for distributors in Meereen later, which can also help boost Meereen's economy.

Speaking of this, I don't know if Carax delivered the letter.

As early as Dany entered the city, Jack knew that the general situation was set, so he immediately wrote a letter and asked Carax to send it to Seychelles to notify Newgate to arrange an empty ship to pick up people immediately.

Take the purchased food along the way and make a fortune in Meereen.

Jack did not announce the establishment of Atlantis, and the name of the Atlantis caravan was the Giant Wave Merchant, and the caravan did not reveal the identity of Atlantis.

So even if Meereen and Essos go to war, as long as Atlantis or the Giant Wave Merchants do not deploy the iconic 13 giant ships, Jack can still purchase food at lower prices in other places.

Even relying on the various commodities developed in the future, Atlantis will become a top rich country that is comparable to the Iron Bank, or even surpasses the Iron Bank.

However, the subsequent population transfer must be planned carefully, and the identity must not be exposed. Exposing the identity is a small matter, and not being able to make a fortune in silence is the biggest loss!

Jack deliberately sank his face, "That's all, I can't do anything else. I have been drained mentally, and the next step is physical.

Please, Queen of Meereen, you don't want the regime of Meereen to be unstable, right?"
