Chapter 237 Another Development Idea – Group
When Jack suppressed the nobles of the North, Asha was also worried that Jack would suppress the nobles of the Iron Islands, including Greyjoy, after he ruled the Iron Islands.
Later, Asha found that the Atlantis established by Jack was far more powerful than she had imagined.
Advanced system, leading technology in the seven kingdoms, and a jaw-dropping speed of making money.
This made Asha think that the old nobles of 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 did not want to suppress rebellions everywhere, Jack would have mobilized the three fleets and Poseidon to sweep across Westeros.
But this can only achieve superficial unification. Even reforms have been achieved, and there are rebellions everywhere.
And Asha now stands firmly on Jack’s side.
The main reason why Asha stood on the side was that Jack provided Asha with another idea of family continuation – family group enterprises.
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 a very low price. Because of Jack’s strong pressure, the nobles could still tolerate it.
But it would be different if the family savings of the nobles were confiscated directly.
No one would believe Jack anymore, nor would they believe in the surname Poseidon and 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 would not only create a large number of jobs, but also promote the rapid development of various fields.
The most important thing is that these old nobles have no military power. For Jack, they are like hounds without teeth and claws, and can only rely on the breath of the empire to survive.
In addition to the atomic dinosaur, the reason why Jack is so confident is the “Patent Protection Law” promoted 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 seek personal interests privately, but it does not say that it will not be used for secondary development to safeguard the interests of the Empire.
As long as these technologies are controlled, even if they do not make money, the leading position of the Empire Center can be guaranteed.
Although these nobles are basically working for the Empire for free, the benefits they can get are real money.
And the condition that Jack gave to Asha was to contract the iron ore and coal mines in the Iron Islands to the nobles of the Iron Islands and distribute them according to the titles.
Of course, only 50% of the iron ore and coal mines are distributed according to the titles, 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 capital investment and a certain number of old blacksmiths in three stages.
However, these supports need to be exchanged for shares, and they are 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 the White Harbor Fleet of the Northern Province, and kill back to the Iron Islands to behead her uncle for public display.
Of course, Jack must do this. On the one hand, Jack needs to establish his own prestige, and on the other hand, kinslaying will disgust others.
“I know a lot more. I’ll teach you later.” Jack said with a smile after hearing Asha’s words.
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 next.” Dany looked at Jack with a smile.
Jack was stunned and said in surprise: “Is it what I thought?”
“Of course.” Asha said unhappily, “The amount is large every day, and the frequency is frequent. How can the stomach not react?”
Asha and Daenerys are pregnant.
The former is the first child, and she is somewhat nervous. The latter is much more relaxed, after all, she has the experience of twins.
But Asha is still very happy. Having a child means there is a guarantee, not a fragile verbal guarantee.
Asha said to Jack with some evil taste: “Maybe you can do it to them. They are about the same age, so it should be no problem.”
Lyanna and Myrcella, who were chatting not far away, suddenly paused and suddenly felt a hint of “malice”.
“You felt it too?”
“Yeah, you too?”
The two little girls looked puzzled, not understanding why they suddenly felt uncomfortable.
They didn’t realize that their heroic sister Asha was encouraging Jack to eat them.
Daenerys quickly stopped Asha’s instigation. Having lived on Sea King Island for a while, she knew that doing that kind of thing too early was not good for the body.
Lyanna was fine, she was strong, but how could Myrcella’s delicate body be abused by Jack?
Asha laughed and said she was just joking.
