Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 256
c253 “Weak” Haimin Chamber of Commerce
Under the fiefdom system, it takes at least a week to assemble an army of tens of thousands of people. Fortunately, the valley was well prepared and assembled 6,000 knights and 20,000 infantry in just five days.
The 26,000 people went to the Bloody Gate, and after meeting with the Sons of Winter and the Knights, they did not act on their own, but set up camp in Harrenhal, waiting for Jack’s command.
And after some nobles in the riverlands chose to surrender, they also gathered some troops to help.
This small group of nobles has a long-term vision. They are betting that Jack Poseidon can conquer Westeros like Aegon Targaryen three hundred years ago.
At this time, Jack is moving rapidly in the deep sea, and Poseidon’s speed in the sea is no slower than that of Carax.
And the more transparent and bright the sea is in Jack’s eyes, the more he has an unparalleled sense of security, as if he is the omnipotent sea god in the deep sea.
Sometimes Jack feels that if Poseidon was replaced by himself, would it be more suitable for the setting of the sea god?
After all, with the transformation of the Heart of the Ocean, Jack has become more and more obsessed with the feeling of being in the sea.
Jack stood on Poseidon’s head. Even if Poseidon was extremely fast, he could not feel any reaction force. The seawater within 50 meters around him was all under his control, as if it was an extension of his body, which was amazing.
Then Jack’s mind moved, and the seawater quickly turned into a finger, and then stabbed Poseidon’s nostrils fiercely.
But Poseidon just took a deep breath, and the finger turned into seawater was blown away.
Poseidon was extremely speechless about Jack’s little actions, especially after she quickly became an adult under the power of faith, her personality was no longer the same as before, and now she was more mature and stable.
Therefore, Poseidon always did not respond to Jack’s sometimes childish mischief, just like a grown-up girl facing her old naughty father.
There was no embarrassment on Jack’s face, as if the incident just now was not his masterpiece, and he continued to control the surrounding water flow to change various forms.
There was the small car he had dreamed of in his previous life – Changan Univ, as well as the small villa he built in his hometown, the top-equipped computer, the game controller, and all kinds of small items that dazzled Jack.
Just then, Poseidon suddenly swam upwards, and Dorne arrived.
But thinking of Sunspear City, he could only rely on Korakshu. With Poseidon’s size, the Green Blood River could not support his activities.
After surfacing, Korakshu followed closely and slowly landed on the sea surface, spreading his wide wings to allow himself to float.
The water flow below Jack formed a water column to lift Jack up, and then under Jack’s control, he sent himself to Korakshu’s dragon back.
Jack felt that the Rhoynar in Westeros might really have some large-scale water magic in ancient times.
After all, the world of Game of Thrones is also a world with magic, just like he is controlling the sea water now, which should also be considered a kind of “magic”.
However, his magic does not rely on learning, but through the transformation of the body by the Heart of the Ocean, he has a high affinity for water elements.
Hiss–
Korakshu roared, flapped his wings and flew towards Sunspear.
It didn’t take long to get from the Greenblood River to Sunspear. Soon, the dragon roar appeared over Sunspear.
Prince Doran, sitting in a wheelchair, looked at the red dragon hovering above Sunspear. He knew that what was coming was coming.
When he first heard about Jack’s coup in the North, he regretted his alliance with Jack.
Originally, he wanted to marry Arianne to Jack, after all, the Dragon family was polygamous at the beginning.
But when he learned that the Northern nobles had become merchants after the coup in the North, he began to pray that Jack would not come to Dorne.
And when the North was in chaos, he forcibly suppressed the radicals in Dorne, so that when Jack wanted to reform Dorne in the future, they would have enough power to resist.
Otherwise, the North would be a living example.
There was no one to fight for internally, and in the end, they were directly wiped out by Jack. When facing Jack’s coup, they couldn’t even put up a decent resistance.
But unfortunately, Jack had considered the situation in Dorne from the very beginning. During the conquest of Aegon, Dorne relied on guerrilla tactics and even caused the Targaryen family to lose a dragon.
So Jack adopted another kind of soft invasion.
After circling for a while, Jack drove Korakshu to the square in front of a building. Seeing that the dragon was about to land, all the onlookers fled to the side of the road.
Jack looked at the concrete building in front of him with satisfaction on his face. The huge Poseidon LOGO wall was still very eye-catching.
This is naturally the headquarters of the Giant Wave Chamber of Commerce in Dorne, but the name of the Chamber of Commerce was changed to the Sea People Chamber of Commerce. The branches of the Sea Wave Chamber of Commerce in various places will basically change their names.
The reason why this place was renamed the Sea People Chamber of Commerce is because their purpose is “for the people, the people’s happiness”.
That is, to think wholeheartedly for the people of Dorne and strive to make all the people live a small and happy life.
To this end, the Seamen Chamber of Commerce built factories and shopping centers all over Dorne.
These factories and shopping centers provided a large number of jobs. In comparison, the income of civilians from farming was not worth mentioning at all. Countless Dornishmen were trying their best to get a job in the Seamen Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, the Seamen Chamber of Commerce began to win over the lands of small nobles and wealthy knights by means of dividends.
These wealthy knights and small nobles often only managed a few small villages. The Seamen Chamber of Commerce signed a hundred-year land contract with them, and the land was handed over to the Chamber of Commerce for operation, and the Chamber of Commerce would give them a considerable dividend every year.
The money the Chamber of Commerce gave them was three times their annual income. As long as they did nothing at home, they could get more than three times the income. Why not do it?
For the earl with a vast territory, the Seamen Chamber of Commerce not only paid a considerable amount of commercial taxes, but also provided a large number of low-priced Poseidon wine, soap and other commodities.
In addition to these, when the Seamen Chamber of Commerce recruited workers from Dorne to pay salaries, they would pay one-tenth of the salary tax to the local nobles in exchange for the nobles’ permission for the farmers to work.
For these actions of the Seamen Chamber of Commerce, the Dorne nobles felt that this was a sign of weakness of the Chamber of Commerce.
After all, Dorne once had a record of slaying dragons, and even the Dragon family had to marry them to gain their support.
Therefore, the Dornish nobles gradually relaxed their vigilance, and faced with various requests from the Sea People’s Chamber of Commerce, as long as the Sea People’s Chamber of Commerce gave them money for their enjoyment, they would basically agree without hesitation, such as the Sea People’s Chamber of Commerce’s request to establish a security department.
