Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 230

c228 You are in danger now!

“Wait, wait!” Tyrion shouted immediately when he saw two guards coming forward to detain 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, and you have the right to say your last words.”

Tyrion is very smart and has strong negotiation skills. At the same time, he has saved himself several times with his words.

In the American TV series, after Tyrion met Daenerys, he relied on this simple provocation to get Daenerys to give him a chance.

But Jack doesn’t follow his example. In the American TV series, Dany lacks talents, but Jack does not lack him. Especially on Neptune Island and the Free Trade Coast, relatively complete selection mechanisms have been established.

It won’t be long before the same selection mechanism will be established in the North. It’s just Tyrion. It doesn’t matter even if Jack kills him.

As for Varys, Jack thought he could use him.

Tyrion was a little panicked at this time. Jack did not follow his ideas, but was ready to kill him directly.

Logically speaking, such a young king with four dragons should be stimulated, and then discuss the governance of the country with him, and finally give him a chance.

In order not to be chopped down, Tyrion could only say the words to prove his talent in advance.

“I came all the way from White Harbor, and I can guarantee that you are in danger now!”

Jack looked at Tyrion with a smile, and he probably had a guess about the danger Tyrion mentioned, which was nothing more than reducing the nobility.

As expected, Tyrion said with some confidence: “In order to gain a foothold in the north, you chose to cut taxes and even gave the civilians great power.

This is a good idea. After all, cutting taxes is one of the main ways to stabilize people’s hearts. This has indeed allowed you to win over people’s hearts in the north.

But you went too far, and you got the fundamentals wrong. After occupying the northern border, the first thing you did was to win over the nobles, and then to stabilize the people.

But now, the people have gained support, but the nobles are alienated from you, and even hate you. In this case, who is still willing to fight for you and govern the northern border for you?

A giant dragon? Or are they the group of civilians you attracted who know nothing? ”

After Tyrion finished speaking, there was silence all around, except for the audience under the high platform still cheering for the contest.

Just when Tyrion thought his words had woken everyone up and were waiting for Jack’s advice, a piercing laugh broke the silence.

The laughter naturally belonged to Tormund. The highest stand where Jack was, not only Jack himself, but his cronies were also arranged around.

Tormund laughed and patted Kasa on the shoulder. Finally, Kasa couldn’t help it anymore and started laughing along with Tormund.

The laughter of the two was very contagious, and Segun and others around them couldn’t help laughing.

The laughter of everyone made Tyrion a little stunned. He had thought about the various reactions of everyone, but he did not expect that they would actually laugh.

“Hahaha, I’m sorry, this 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.

In the end, Myrcella, who had been pretending to be dead, couldn’t help but said: “Uncle, the North is different now. The country is governed here not by the nobles, but by the imperial administrators.”

Myrcella sighed and looked at Tyrion with some concern. Myrcella learned about the current situation in the North through newspapers.

Nowadays, most areas are governed by members of the Poseidon Party from the empire. They wear clothes of different colors and represent different levels.

As long as the nobles dare to let it go, someone will take over the nobles’ position the next day. If they dare to cause trouble, they will be directly charged with treason, and then the Unsullied will ransack their homes.

Therefore, in order to maintain their power, the nobles not only had to manage the territory personally, but also had to guard against the eyes of the administrators at all times.

Nowadays, there are not many established nobles in the north, only the Wolf Faction headed by the Mandalay family remains.

When Tyrion heard this, he immediately realized his mistake. He guessed correctly that the northern nobles would be shuffled, but he seemed to have underestimated the intensity of this shuffle.

Moreover, the ‘administrators from the empire’ that Myrcella mentioned were probably Jack’s men. He didn’t understand the administrator system very well, so he had to find another way.

“Even so, you still need nobles to fight for you and command the army in a war. If you don’t win over the nobles, what if they turn against you?

The dragon is not invincible. The Iron Throne has made many dragon-shooting crossbows. The huge crossbow arrows are enough to shoot through the body of the dragon! ”

Jack chuckled. Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem with what Tyrion said. This is the tradition of Westeros.

But Jack did not want to follow the traditions of Westeros. Neptune Island is relatively far from Westeros, and direct top-down jurisdiction is not realistic.

So Jack allowed Westeros to be autonomous, but it couldn’t be a level-by-level feudal autonomy like it is now.
