Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Financial Assistance Program
Jack motioned for Rutger Boone to elaborate.
"Your Majesty, when I was purchasing grain in Volantis, I met a grain merchant from Westeros."
"According to what he said, Westeros is now in the midst of war. There used to be only one king, but now there are five."
"There is a lot of limestone in the Royal Territory. It is said that this kind of stone is very common in the Riverbend Kingdom. It can be found everywhere on the roadside and in the mountains."
Jack became interested after hearing this. Forget about going to the River Bend. It was too far to make a trip there.
But Wang Ling can do it, but definitely not close.
"Is there none in Essos?"
"There must be some in Essos, but we haven't found a seller yet." Rutger said affirmatively.
Because he had asked the grain merchant in Westeros, this kind of stone was not rare, and could even be found everywhere.
But the problem was that Rutger visited several trading city-states and found there was no limestone for sale.
Then Rutger expressed his doubts, and Jack felt something was wrong after hearing it.
Logically speaking, there are some in Westeros, and a lot of them, so there is no reason why Essos cannot find a seller.
Even the Seychelles Islands have small amounts of limestone.
It's a pity that there was only a little bit, and the cement produced was not enough to build a brick kiln.
Rutger suddenly had an idea. "Your Majesty, is it possible that we can't find a seller of limestone because it's everywhere, so no one is selling it?"
"!!!" Jack was stunned.
I copied!
Jack suddenly reacted.
Because no one knows how to make cement, limestone is considered the same as ordinary stone in everyone's eyes, so naturally no one specializes in selling stone.
The stones sold are of high quality, not the limestones with strange shapes.
Jack had always thought that limestone was the main material for making cement. In addition, Jack had never actually made cement, so he subconsciously thought that this thing should be sold by someone like other minerals.
"Damn it, alcohol and sex have led me astray. I'm going to quit drinking from today!" Jack said angrily.
Considering that there are a lot of mountains around Meereen, there must be a lot of limestone maniacs, so people need to pay attention to it.
At this time, 50,000 people had gathered at the foot of Kaiser Pass, 20,000 of whom were joining the army, and the remaining 30,000 were building military fortresses.
At that time, 10,000 people will be left behind to mine limestone. It just so happens that the mouth of the Skahazaban River is in Meereen, so even land transportation can be saved.
And you don't even have to buy it. You can just hire Meereen's laborers to mine it at a low price.
"By the way, Rutger, open a number of taverns, inns, and hot pot restaurants in Meereen in your name."
After that, Jack handed him a booklet.
Rutger picked up the booklet and saw that it said "Meereen Economic Support Plan".
Its contents include a large number of business projects, such as the salt land being managed by Castle Meereen, the construction of new taverns, hotels, hot pot restaurants, barbecue restaurants, etc.
There are also bunny girl waiters, etc., which detail the money-making ideas that Jack has come up with recently.
For example, in hot pot restaurants and barbecue restaurants, the rich variety of spices in Game of Thrones is enough to support the business of hot pot restaurants and barbecue restaurants.
Even if the shops in Meereen become popular, they can attract spice merchants to do business.
If you come to do business, you have to stay in a hotel. Then the hotel opened by Atlantis will be able to make a lot of money from these businessmen.
Not only can it boost Meereen's economy, but it can also control Meereen's economy.
Jack was recalling the structure of the textile machine and had almost completed the drawing.
By then, the cheap cloth from Atlantis will be able to easily squeeze out the cloth merchants from Essos.
Even if they had slaves working for free, the raw materials still cost money, and there was no way that the efficiency of a textile machine could be compared to that of slaves.
The more Rutger looked, the more surprised he was. He thought that if he could become the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he would definitely not be a fool.
"Your Majesty, if we follow this plan, not to mention Meereen, the entire world will be our target for harvest."
"This is called a technical barrier. If we can strangle other forces, we can make a lot of money."
"But the patent mentioned here is probably not very realistic. Once we make money, there will definitely be people who copy our products. It is impossible for them to give up copying just because of a patent and let us reap the benefits for nothing."
Patting Rutger on the shoulder, Jack said meaningfully: "Now it's time to compete with fists."
"If we opened a hot pot restaurant in Meereen and said that we had applied for a patent for our hot pot restaurant and no one could imitate it, and if they wanted to open a restaurant, they could only join us, what do you think they would do?"
Rutger said without hesitation: "It must be a change of name, just keep driving."
"So, as long as he dares to open a store, I can close down his store as Prime Minister, and then confiscate his renovated house and auction it off to our allies."
"In this way, we not only earn money from the auction, but also gain allies to join us. It's like killing two birds with one stone."
Rutger's eyes lit up. This would really be a profitable business.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I will go back and look through the contents of the hot pot chapter carefully. I will leave a few managers for you when the time comes. They will assist you in opening the chain store."
It is definitely impossible for Rutger to stay and be responsible for these things. The entire material operation of Atlantis depends on him and Newgate.
However, among this batch of high-level slaves, there are quite a few stewards. Once they come online, they will be able to share the management pressure of Newgate.
All I can say is that this group of stewards are lucky, as they can directly become the management of Atlantis.
And other high-level slaves, except for high-level bed slaves, will inevitably be the elite of society.
And bed slave Jack also has a plan. Atlantis cannot hide in the dark forever. Sooner or later, it will appear in the public eye.
It would be a nice idea to arrange these bed slaves on the outermost island of the Seychelles and build an entertainment city there.
Of course, Jack will not force those who don't want to continue being bed slaves, because the thing that the Game of Thrones world lacks the least is prostitutes.
By then, the prostitutes in the entertainment city will be trained a little and wear some special clothes. They will no longer be lowly prostitutes but noble socialites!
The price for one night would at least double!
"By the way, how is Korakhu?" Jack suddenly remembered something.
Rutger was stunned when he heard this. He thought that His Majesty had forgotten about Korak.
"Your Majesty, Korakshuu is no longer causing trouble. Instead, due to his constant hunting, there are no wild animals around the camp."
More than a month ago, Colakhuis returned to the Seychelles with Jack's letter.
It turned out that the journey was supposed to take several days, but there was no sign of Korakxiu for a week. He knew that Korakxiu was probably not going to come back.
Jack didn't suspect that something unexpected had happened to Korak.
Now Korakshu's wingspan is more than two meters. Unless he is killed on the spot by a crossbow when flying at low altitude, he will not encounter any fatal danger.
