Bab 86: 86
Chapter 228 You are in danger now!
"Wait, wait!" Tyrion shouted when he saw two guards preparing to arrest him.
Jack raised his right hand, and the two guards immediately stopped what they were doing but still stood beside Tyrion.
Jack looked at Tyrion expressionlessly. "Do you have anything else to say? I am a benevolent emperor. You have the right to speak your last words."
Tyrion is very smart and has strong negotiation skills. He has saved himself several times with his words.
In the American TV series, after Tyrion met Daenerys, he relied on this simple provocative tactic to make Daenerys give him a chance.
But Jack doesn't buy it. In the American TV series, Dany lacks talents, but Jack does not lack him, especially since Neptune Island and the Free Trade Coast have established a relatively complete selection mechanism.
It won't be long before the North will establish the same selection mechanism. It's just Tyrion, so it doesn't matter even if Jack kills him.
As for Varys, Jack felt that he could be used.
Tyrion was a little panicked at this time. Jack did not follow his idea, but was ready to kill him directly.
Logically speaking, such a young king, with four dragons, should be stimulated, and then he should be argued with about governing the country and finally given a chance.
In order to avoid being killed, Tyrion could only speak out words in advance to prove his ability.
"I have come all the way from White Harbor, and I assure you that you are in danger now!"
Jack looked at Tyrion with a smile, and had a rough idea of the danger Tyrion mentioned. It was nothing more than reducing the number of nobles.
As expected, Tyrion said with a little confidence: "In order to gain a foothold in the North, you chose to cut taxes and even gave great power to the common people.
This is a good idea. After all, reducing taxes is one of the main means to stabilize people's hearts. This has indeed helped you win the hearts of the people in the north.
But you have gone too far. You have got the fundamentals wrong. After occupying the North, the first thing to do is to win over the nobles, and then stabilize the people's hearts.
But now, although you have the support of the people, the nobles are alienated from you and even hate you. In this case, who is willing to fight for you and govern the North for you?
The dragon? Or the group of ignorant commoners you have won over? "
After Tyrion finished speaking, there was silence all around, except for the audience below the stage who were still cheering for the competition.
Just as Tyrion thought that his words had awakened everyone and they were waiting for Jack's advice, a shrill laugh broke the silence.
The laughter naturally came from Tormund. The highest stand where Jack was was not only occupied by Jack himself, but also his cronies were arranged around him.
Tormund patted Kasar's shoulder while laughing. Finally, Kasar couldn't help it and laughed along with Tormund.
The laughter of the two was very contagious, and Saigon and others around them couldn't help laughing.
Tyrion was a little surprised by the laughter of the crowd. He had thought of various reactions from the crowd, but he never expected them to laugh out loud.
"Hahaha, sorry, Ti.Ti, forget it, little dwarf, what you said is the funniest joke I have ever heard." Tormund laughed so hard that he was out of breath.
Finally, Myrcella, who had been pretending to be dead, could not help but speak: "Uncle, the North is different now than it was before. The country is governed here not by the nobles, but by the imperial administrators."
Myrcella sighed and looked at Tyrion with some worry. Myrcella had learned about the current situation in the North through the newspaper.
Today, most areas are governed by members of the Poseidon Party from the Empire, who wear clothes of different colors, representing different levels.
As long as the nobles dared to let it go, someone would take their place the next day. If they dared to make trouble, they would be directly charged with treason and their property would be confiscated by the Unsullied.
Therefore, in order to maintain their power, the nobles not only had to govern their territories themselves, but also had to be on guard against the eyes of those administrators at all times.
There are not many old nobles left in the North now, only the Wolf Clan headed by the Manderly Family.
Upon hearing this, Tyrion immediately realized his mistake. He had guessed correctly that the northern nobles would be reshuffled, but he seemed to have underestimated the magnitude of this reshuffle.
And the 'administrator from the empire' that Mircella mentioned was probably Jack's subordinate. He didn't know much about the administrator system, so he had to find another way.
"Even so, you still need nobles to fight for you and command the army. If you don't win over the nobles, what if they turn against you in the middle of a battle?
Dragons are not invincible. The Iron Throne has manufactured many dragon-shooting crossbows. The huge crossbow arrows are enough to shoot through a dragon's body!"
Jack chuckled. Under normal circumstances, there would be nothing wrong with what Tyrion said. This was the tradition of Westeros.
But Jack didn't want to follow the tradition of Westeros. Sea King Island is far away from Westeros, and direct governance from top to bottom is not realistic.
So Jack allowed Westeros to be autonomous, but it couldn't be the layered autonomy that it is now.
