Capítulo 67: Chapter 67: Ivan’s Doubts
And Dany believed that there must be many such incidents, and all those who were harmed were potential reserve personnel for the Sons of the Harpy.
The more Dany thought about it, the uglier her face became. She suddenly remembered that at the beginning, Jack had told her that the free people of Meereen suffered the greatest losses after the fall of Meereen.
The nobles would hide in their own pyramids to avoid the burning, killing and looting after the city was captured.
The slaves were extremely poor and had been liberated, so naturally no one plundered them.
Only the original free people of Meereen will suffer a huge impact. They will not only be robbed by the slave army following her, but also by the slaves of Meereen.
At that time, Jack gave a suggestion, which was to take out part of the money to make up for their losses, so as to reduce the number of Sons of the Harpy.
But Dany at the time felt that the original free people of Meereen had also oppressed slaves in the past, so she rejected Jack's proposal.
"Take him away for questioning first," Dany said to Barristan.
Upon hearing this, Barristan took the man away. Recently, a small number of Sons of the Harpy have begun to move around at night.
This caused some trouble to the law and order in Meereen, but it didn't cause any big waves.
Now that a living Son of the Harpy has been captured, Barristan will naturally not miss this opportunity to interrogate him thoroughly.
As soon as Barristan left, Dany immediately asked Missandei to call Jack over.
At this time, in the Prime Minister's Tower, Jack was sitting at a custom-made desk working.
In his left hand he held a homemade stone dumbbell, and in his right hand he looked through this month's tax revenue for Meereen.
Because Meereen was a city-state rather than a country, taxes were collected every three months.
The taxes from Districts 1 and 2 are directly handed over to Dany and Jack.
The taxation of districts 3 to 13 is the responsibility of eleven administrators headed by Mando.
After they collected them, they handed them over to Jack, and then Jack handed them over together with the taxes from the second district under his jurisdiction.
Including the second district under Jack's jurisdiction, the tax revenue this time amounted to 200,000 gold dragons.
Because of Jack's proposed method of work-for-relief, the free people of Meereen had money to pay taxes without having to use goods and unpaid labor instead of money.
That's why we were able to collect 200,000 gold dragons, but this number is definitely not a lot.
This number is slightly different from what Jack calculated, or even a bit different!
Originally, according to Jack's calculations, the tax revenue of the entire Meereen should be around 300,000 gold dragons after the opening of the arena, but now it is only 200,000.
It goes without saying where the 100,000 missing golden dragons went.
But Jack was not angry. In the world of Game of Thrones, corruption is very normal. In the original book, Daario, who collected taxes, even embezzled half of the taxes.
The reason why Mando and other administrators did not embezzle more than half of the money this time was to test Jack's attitude and Daenerys' tolerance.
Jack touched his chin and did not choose to find Mantuo. Instead, he prepared to see the sincerity of Mantuo and others.
Because he just remembered that Mantuo said that a banquet was prepared for tomorrow, at the Atlantis Hot Pot Restaurant.
Knock, knock, knock—there was a knock on the door.
Jack never worked in the main hall of the Prime Minister's Tower, but in an office of his own choice. Ivan usually waited at the door.
"Come in."
Ivan pushed the door open and walked in. "Prime Minister, Miss Missandei said that His Majesty wants you to come over."
Ivan's expression remained unchanged, but he was a little curious about where Viteli had gone. She had clearly followed the Prime Minister in.
"I see. Wait a moment."
Ivan closed the door and said to Missandei outside, "Wait a moment, Miss Missandei, the Prime Minister will be out soon."
Inside the house, Jack patted Vittoria's head.
Then Vittoria crawled out from under the table and jumped lightly twice.
"I'm so tired. My legs are numb from squatting."
Jack chuckled, "Next time I'll put a layer of fur on the floor so you can squat under it."
Viteli stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm going back to practice my sword skills first."
Since coming to Meereen, Jack has never forgotten Viteliel's role as a capable and competent female secretary!
He hired the best swordsmanship instructor and teacher in Slaver's Bay for Viteliel.
So Viteliel had at least eight classes every day to continuously learn swordsmanship and knowledge.
Her progress is also very obvious. At least she is no longer as stupid as when she was first taken in by Jack.
Viteliel opened the door and left, followed by Jack, who headed for the True Dragon Tower.
Ivan looked at the backs of Vittoria and Jack, then looked back at the office in confusion.
But without thinking too much, he hurried to prepare a parasol for Jack.
Jack is not a pretentious person. Whenever he travels, he is accompanied by many people, including guards, maids, and attendants.
Jack soon arrived at the main hall of the Dragon Tower, where Dany was frowning.
There was no one around, so Jack started to tease, "Hey, what's wrong with our Mother of Dragons?
Someone, hang my coat on Her Majesty's mouth. It's so big that you can hang salted fish on it."
All those present were Dany's personal maids, and they all knew Jack's temper, so naturally no one dared to move.
"If you say that again, I won't let you use it tonight. Really, can't you be more serious? The Sons of the Harpy has their dagger on our necks!"
"What you said sounds even more indecent." Jack's mouth twitched. What you said said also said that I was indecent.
"And what do you mean the Sons of the Harpy have their knife at our necks?"
Dany also realized that she had spoken too quickly and accidentally said some vulgar words.
His face turned red and he said, "It's the Sons of the Harpy, the kind of assassin who wears a golden mask and goes around trying to kill us!"
Jack's mouth twitched. Seeing how nervous and excited you were, I thought you saw a mermaid. I was ready to laugh out loud.
"Sons of the Harpy, what are you afraid of?" Jack said speechlessly, "Although they have begun to appear in Meereen recently, they will never be able to become a force to be reckoned with."
Jack was very confident because he found that the system of collective responsibility had a very high degree of control over ordinary people, and all the free people in Meereen were trapped in the system of collective responsibility.
Especially when if you don't report the case, you will be convicted, but if you report it, you will not only be acquitted but also receive a reward.
This group of assassins, who had long since pinned Daenerys down in Meereen in the original series, have only dared to show up now.
It's no wonder that Jack doesn't take the Sons of the Harpy seriously. There really isn't much of a threat from them.
Seeing that Jack still didn't care, Danny immediately told him about her guesses and concerns.
"Your previous guess was correct. The original free folk of Meereen have really become potential reserve personnel for the Sons of the Harpy!"
