Chapter 89 The Merciful Prime Minister
Newgate was stunned by these words, but he quickly came to his senses.
"Winter is coming, Your Majesty, if we really succeed in raising them, the darkness of winter will be driven away by you!"
Newgate looked at Jack with admiration. He had not thought of this just now.
This long summer has lasted so long, so what awaits the world will be a long night that will last at least an entire generation.
Even if the temperature in Essos is a little higher, it is still relative to Westeros.
Every time there is a long night, the world's population will be reduced by half, but this time I am afraid it will be good if one-third can survive.
Especially slaves. Every long night will take away 90% of the slaves. They are like livestock. After death, the slave owners will mix them into feed to feed some omnivorous animals.
Thinking of this, Newgate felt compassion again, but he was no longer a slave. He was the Prime Minister of Atlantis, and he had to consider the people of Atlantis first.
However, he was still prepared to do some things within his ability, such as arranging for the Chamber of Commerce to increase the progress of purchasing slaves.
Now that Atlantis is short of labor, he still has some power.
In Atlantis, as long as you work, you will get paid, and you even have the opportunity to take paid breaks.
Newgate did not believe that Atlantis would freeze to death or starve to death after the long night.
I was just about to go shopping for zero dollars next, and all the merchant ships purchased with zero dollars were put into slave transportation.
Now relying on the transportation model proposed by Jack, it can attract 5,000 people every two months. After the zero-yuan purchase, the efficiency will at least double.
Thinking of this, Newgate said to Jack: "Your Majesty, there is something I want to tell you."
"Huh? You're hesitant. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"As for the population, I think 100,000 people is a bit small. Can we absorb more?"
Newgate spoke his mind.
Jack smiled slightly, "Why, the slave who is about to die in the long night arouses your sympathy?"
Newgate's lips wriggled a few times, as if he wanted to find some excuse, but gave up for some reason, and finally chose silence.
"That seems to be it."
"Your Majesty, I..." Newgate didn't know how to speak.
But Jack chuckled and said: "I am not a benevolent king, everything I do is for myself.
But I have a benevolent Prime Minister, and the slaves should be thankful that they have won your sympathy.
We should also be thankful that there is an old man among them who really thinks about them. "
Jack looked at Newgate and said softly: "From now on, Atlantis will no longer limit the number of people it can absorb until the long night arrives."
Newgate was greatly surprised and immediately knelt down in front of Jack, "Your Majesty, they should be most fortunate to have met you before the long night!"
Jack waved his hand and signaled Newgate to quickly arrange for people to build the reservoir.
Looking at Newgate's excited departure, Jack felt a little emotional.
What he had to admit was that there was always a group of kind-hearted people in the world, and they were the real Madonnas, not Madonna bitches.
Just like Newgate, even more than fifty years of slavery could not erase the integrity and kindness in his heart.
With his power as prime minister, he could increase the planned population limit even without reporting to Jack, because Jack's order at the time was: estimate 100,000 people, and decide based on the situation.
But Newgate still chose to report to him.
Excessive integrity and kindness, but a little less smooth than when we first met him, and he looks a bit like Ed Stark.
This is not a good thing. If he meets Joffrey, the Eternal Emperor, he will probably not be able to survive for a month, and his head will be stuck on a spear in public.
In contrast, Jack seems a bit bad. Everything he does is to build a powerful empire and then enjoy the pleasure of power.
However, Jack has no regrets, let alone self-blame. People are different. He likes his current life and the pleasure that power brings.
"Colakxiu, let's go. I'll take you back to have a barbecue."
"His-!"
——
August 16, 301AC.
Only then did Daenerys, who was far away in Meereen, receive the letter from Jack.
The letter stated that Jack was worried because of the water monster that appeared on the island. Colach was also attacked by the water monster and was seriously injured, so Jack could not come back.
Dany was a little worried after reading the letter, and immediately wrote a letter asking Jack if he needed help. She could let the strongest Drogon have a try.
After writing the letter, he handed it to the maid beside him and asked her to release the letter crow immediately.
After the maid left, Dany suddenly felt nauseous and dry.
Upon seeing this, Missandei immediately handed over the warm milk, and Dany took several sips before she recovered.
"Your Majesty, are you okay? How about we find a doctor to come and take a look at you?"
Since yesterday, Dani has felt nauseous and dry from time to time, but it is not frequent and there is no obvious discomfort, so Dani does not care.
Danni waved her hand lightly, "No, maybe I ate something the day before yesterday and my stomach feels uncomfortable. It will be fine in two days."
Missandei was still a little worried. After all, Dany had never had a stomachache before, and she didn't eat anything strange the day before yesterday. How could she have an upset stomach?
But Dany said it was okay, and Missandei said nothing more.
The maid whom Dany had just arranged to let the raven go came to the corner of the pyramid, and then secretly opened the envelope.
She was surprised when she saw the content above, but she quickly put the note back and walked towards the raven cage as if nothing had happened.
However, her behavior was seen by another maid.
The maid who saw all this slowly left, as if she had never appeared.
As expected, the news that Prime Minister Jack Poseidon could not come back because of the serious injury of the young dragon was known to everyone that night.
However, thanks to Dany's recent strong presence, there was no unrest in Meereen after she personally spoke to comfort.
The silver moon was high in the sky, and the garden at the top of the pyramid.
Dany stroked Drogon's head while looking down at the whole Meereen.
"It seems that Meereen is not inseparable from Jack, and it's the same with me."
Dany's purple eyes were as beautiful as purple gems under the moonlight.
The feeling of missing made Dany feel more melancholy, just like an ordinary girl missing her lover.
"I'm not used to Jack being around. I miss him a little bit, what should I do?" Dany muttered to herself.
Drogon felt that her mother was unhappy and licked Dany's delicate cheeks gently with her tongue.
Dany smiled after feeling the comfort from Drogon and gently pushed Drogon away.
"Hmm, little Drogon, your tongue has barbs, it hurts a little."
Feeling that her mother's mood had returned to good, Drogon also rubbed Dany gently.
Not far away, Viserion and Rhaegal looked at the big brother who was close to Dany curiously.
They couldn't figure out why the big brother suddenly became so close to their mother.
He even stayed with their mother most of the time and didn't compete with them for food.
They couldn't figure it out, so they gave up thinking directly, anyway, it had nothing to do with them.
Drogon didn't compete with them for food, and they were so happy.
