Chapter 237 Another Development Idea - The Group
When Jack suppressed the Northern nobles, Asha was also worried that after Jack ruled the Iron Islands, he would suppress the Iron Islands nobles including Greyjoy.
Later Asha discovered that the Atlantis built by Jack was far more powerful than she had imagined.
Advanced systems, technology that is ahead of the seven countries, and an astonishing speed of making money.
This made Asha believe that the old nobles in Westeros could not win this war at all, and it was only a matter of time before the old nobles were defeated.
In fact, if Jack didn't want to quell rebellions everywhere, he would have mobilized three fleets and Poseidon to sweep across Westeros long ago.
But this approach can only achieve superficial unification. Even reforms have been made, and there are overt and covert rebellions everywhere.
And Asha now stands firmly on Jack's side.
The main reason why Asha took sides was that Jack provided Asha with another idea for the continuation of the family - family group business.
With the development of science and technology, productivity will also advance by leaps and bounds. Productivity determines the superstructure, and the feudal system will inevitably be replaced.
Jack took all the land back to the empire, but rented it out at extremely low prices. Because of Jack's strong pressure, the nobles could still endure it.
But it would be a different matter if the family savings of the nobles were confiscated directly.
No one will believe Jack anymore, nor will they believe in the name Poseidon or the authority of Atlantis.
So Jack changed his approach and used the basic technology patents developed by the empire to trick these nobles into investing and developing in different fields.
This will not only create a large number of jobs, but also promote rapid development in various fields.
The most important thing is that these old nobles have lost their military power. To Jack, they are like hounds without teeth and claws. They can only rely on the empire to survive.
The reason why Jack is so confident is not only the atomic dinosaurs, but also the "Patent Protection Law" implemented by the Empire.
The content of the patent protection law is: as long as a certain technology is handed over to the empire, it can be protected by the empire. Anyone who uses this technology needs to pay patent fees, otherwise they will be hit by the empire. And the empire will not use patented technology privately for personal gain.
The Empire will not use patented technology to pursue personal gain, but it does not say that it will not be used for secondary development to safeguard the Empire's interests.
As long as we master these technologies, we can maintain the leading position of the central empire even if we don't make money.
Although these nobles were basically working for the empire for free, the benefits they gained were real money.
The condition that Jack gave to Asha was to contract the iron and coal mines of the Iron Islands to the nobles of the Iron Islands and distribute them according to their titles.
Of course, only 50% of the iron ore and coal mines are allocated according to the title, and the remaining 50% can be purchased with money.
At the same time, Jack will share the empire's iron smelting technology with the major families in the Iron Islands, and will also provide these family businesses with financial investments and a certain number of veteran blacksmiths in three stages.
However, all this support needs to be exchanged for shares and is definitely not free. After all, the empire also lacks relevant technical personnel.
What Asha wants to do most now is to lead the Iron Fleet immediately, join forces with the White Harbor Fleet in the Northern Province, return to the Iron Islands, and behead her uncle in public.
Of course, this must be done by Jack. On the one hand, Jack needs to establish his own prestige, and on the other hand, parricide will make others disgusted.
"I know a lot more things. I'll teach you later." Jack said with a smile after hearing what Asha said.
Asha rolled her eyes. "Don't you have anything else that interests you?"
"I'm afraid you can't continue to torment me and Asha." Dany looked at Jack with a smile.
Jack was stunned and asked in surprise: "Is it what I thought?"
"Of course." Asha said unhappily, "The amount is large and the frequency is so high every day, how could my stomach not react?"
Asha and Daenerys are pregnant.
The former was the first child and was somewhat nervous, while the latter was much more relaxed, after all, she already had experience with twins.
But Asha was still very happy, because having a child gave her security, rather than just fragile verbal assurances.
Asha said to Jack with some evil humor: "Maybe you can do something to them. They are about the same age, so it should be no problem."
Lyanna and Myrcella, who were chatting not far away, suddenly stopped and suddenly felt a hint of "malice".
"You felt it too?"
"Yeah, you too?"
The two little girls showed puzzled expressions on their faces, not understanding why they suddenly felt uncomfortable.
They were completely unaware that their heroic sister Asha was actually encouraging Jack to eat them.
Daenerys quickly stopped Asha's instigation. Having lived on Sea King Island for a period of time, she knew very well that doing that kind of thing too early was bad for the body.
Lyanna was fine, she was strong and healthy, but how could Myrcella's delicate body be abused by Jack?
Asha laughed and said she was just joking.
