Chapter 108
Plaza of the People and Freedomsguard Monument are not simple gimmicks. The so-called liberation of slaves is not the end of the shackles.
Daenerys in the original story thought that, did the same thing, and she's screwed.
After destroying the old system, a new system must be established to make the society operate stably, otherwise the world without system will be worse than the old world.
Plazas and monuments are mainly to remind the new Free Folk: You are the masters of this city, and it is right to build and defend oneself's homeland.
Well, Dany took down the slave city yesterday and is going to put new "shackles" on Free Folk today.
She needs them to work, to serve, to farm.
In the morning, Dany, with Unsullied's help, undid all the slave collars.
Beginning in the afternoon, under the scorching sun, the new Free Folk lined up in a long queue in the red brick square, waiting to register their name, occupation, family status, and expectations for the future at the clerical desk in front of the pyramid. .
Yesterday afternoon, after liberating the slave Warrior, Dany's next target for liberation was the slaves who came out of the pyramid.
Physical workers such as cooks, cooks, textile workers, etc. are all happy and grateful to Mother of Dragons, but when it is the turn of scholars, gardeners, doctors and other high-tech workers, they are reluctant to become Free Folk.
When Dany asked the reason, the Ethan scholar said: "Good Masters treat me very well. Food, housing, and clothing are all High Level supplies. The work is considered easy, and there are two maids serving me. If Let me oneself go out for a living, but I may not survive.
If Your Majesty really wants to be nice to us, you might as well sell us to Yunkai, or Meereen, we are very popular and can be sold for a lot of money ."
It is not difficult to understand, the Qing Dynasty had a bondservant system, and the coat was actually a slave.
Why are there still many people rushing to be the coats of the Manchu nobles? Even in the heroine's Qing Chuanwen, the identity of most "big" heroines is to wrap clothes?
She is a slave, her life and dignity are not one's own, and her daughter and wife can have fun with the master as she pleases.
Even modern women in the new society want to go back and be slaves to the Manchus. This is... what a hell!
The problem is that the Manchu class is "Imperial Family - nobles - wrapped - Han officials - Han people", if it is the Imperial Family's wrapped slaves, then the status is really no better than ordinary Manchus Difference.
First of all, they don't worry about food and clothing. They have what the emperor has, and most of them have what the emperor doesn't have. Second, rights, as the saying goes, also depends on the owner, the emperor's dog, under normal circumstances. Who dares to fight?
Finally, the future, being a slave to the emperor will have no future?
hehe, how many princes and grandsons are coated? Even Emperor Jiaqing's mother is also a coat - this is the core driving force of wearing Qing women.
There is also the famous Cao Xueqin, who is a three-generation Commander Jiangning Imperial Textiles in his family, whose status in Jiangnan is second only to Liangjiang Magister, but their identity is still the coating family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Ethan Scholars and the others are similar.
Dany's way of dealing with them is also simple. Since you guys are so cheap, then be a slave to me, just to save me a lot of money!
As now, dozens of scholars, each with a table and a chair, with a parasol on their heads, are neatly arranged under the Great Pyramid steps.
In the scorching sun, help Free Folk to register their identity, issue identity documents, brow beaded with sweat, and gasping for breath.
Dany doesn't have to pay them a penny, the slaves work for the master without pay.
But instead of hiding in the pyramid to enjoy the coolness, she moved a chair to sit in the middle of the clerical desk and answered questions for Free Folk herself.
In this world, and Westeros in particular, King has a duty to regularly meet with complainants.
In an easy-to-understand way, King = Neighborhood Committee Aunt + County Magistrate.
Those who have grievances, those who encounter difficulties, and those who want to have a heart-to-heart with King, can line up at the palace at a fixed time and wait for King's summons.
If King is lazy, Hand of the King will handle it for you.
For example, Eddard Stark sat on the Iron Throne to accept the people of the Riverlands complaining about the atrocities of Clegane Ser, which triggered a series of events such as "Brotherhood Without Banners" and "Lady Stoneheart".
Well, this is different from the ancient times of the Celestial Dynasty. In all the dynasties of the Celestial Dynasty, which prime minister would dare to sit on the throne of the Emperor of the Golden Palace?
But here, the Hand of the King can represent King, sitting on the seat of the emperor, controlling all the military and finances of the country, and the power to appoint and dismiss officials.
Except for not being able to sleep with King's wife, they can do everything King can do.
But the Targaryen Dynasty's three-hundred-year foundation, including the subsequent Robert and Lannister dynasties, did not rebel against a single Hand of the King, all of them were very honest, King wanted to kill, let him kill; Leave Westeros without a word.
Mainly because, in the country of Feudal System, Hand of the King is just Hand of the King.
They only represent King, and King's prestige will be greatly reduced if he leaves Crownlands, even more how Hand of the King?
Which Hand of the King dared to rebel, countless nobles and nobles immediately raised troops to teach him how to behave.
In addition to fulfilling the obligation of oneself, Dany also wants to have a deeper understanding of the living conditions and demands of civilians in the process of meeting the new free people, and then try to select a few available talents.
honest and timid People who don't have much talent generally go with the flow, and they do whatever Mother of Dragons arranges.
The people who really come to Dany are either because they have some "advanced" ideas, or, like Cleon, they are overlooked and have a heart to climb up.
For the latter, Dany will of course be vigilant, but there is no waste on the chessboard. As a chess player, you must make good use of every piece.
She still remembers Zhea's case!
She is obviously a first nation heroine of the Jogos Nhai people, but she only leaves a series of ugly names such as Zorse face, infertility, cruelty, etc. for future generations.
Bad things, evil things she can't intervene in, but she can't help but do it, so Cleon and the others have a role to play.
When Green Graces came over in the sedan, they saw Dany writing and drawing on the snow-white sheepskin scroll under the umbrella under the umbrella, and talking to the people in Summer Isles opposite.
"...you can do it with confidence, I will loan you a sum of money without interest and return it within 10 years. If the goods cannot be sold, every quarter... Well, once every three months, I'll buy the entire stock at market value."
"Thank you, Queen Your Majesty." The young black girl wiped her tears and kept bowing until she Noticing the silhouette of Green Graces, I said goodbye and left.
The people in line at the back also took a few steps back to make room for Dany and Green Graces to talk.
“What is she going to do?” Green Graces asked curiously.
"Her name is Lysa, a female textile worker. Her embroidery skills are as good as that of Yi Ti's court weavers." Dany handed over a handkerchief embroidered with delicate peony patterns and smiled, "She wants to A clothing store, but I have no capital, and I am worried that no one will buy the goods in the store. I provide a 10-year interest-free loan to help her open the store. If the goods cannot be sold, I will eat them all."
"This ..." The wisdom of Green Graces told her that Dany's move was meaningful, but the shallowness of experience and knowledge prevented her from further peeking into the truth.
“What are you here for me for?” Dany asks as Jhiqui pours Saintess a cool, sweet Lem water from the crock.
Dany did not imitate other Kings and Queens, the oneself was on the throne, and the person who met stood below to show majesty.
——In that case, how can I hear the truth?
Her wooden chair is from Good Masters, although it is large and gorgeous, the opposite face saint also has a chair, you can talk face to face with Queen Dany.
Green Graces sat down and looked at the dazzling sunlight around, intuitively sitting on the burning Fire Pit, wiping his forehead and sighing: "Your Majesty, you should meet visitors in the pyramid."
"The pyramid is too high for an ordinary person to reach or see." Dany said with a smile.
The bottom of the pyramid is very low, but it is mostly prisons, warehouses, and servants' residences. If you want to receive visitors, it will also be on the top floor. It is 100 meters high. ....if it was her oneself, she would hesitate to see that cheap Queen.
And there is no crowd watching the trial process.
Green Graces said hesitantly: "But it's too much for Queen to meet guests in the square..."
"In a few days, I will remodel a spacious room at the bottom of the pyramid. The hall is dedicated to the general public," Dany said.
"This..." Green Graces' complexion changed behind the green silk sand, "Your Majesty, Ghis nobles used to mummify the corpses of their ancestors and put them at the bottom of the pyramid, you... ...."
"Don't worry, Lord Saintess," Dany waved his hand, picked up the porcelain bowl on the table, drank half a bowl of Lem water, and put out a breath comfortably, "Even if they are both The sinful slave-masters, but since they are dead, I will not hurt their remains. Aren't the bodies of the Ghis who died in the battle a few days ago in the Plaza of Pride, waiting for their families to claim them?"
Green Graces paled at the thought of the rancid plaza.
How many people are dead, who will claim their bodies?
It's been a hot summer day.
"Your Majesty, just burn the rest to avoid the plague," she advised.
"Well, it'll burn tonight." Dany replied.
She'd also burn without being reminded by Green Graces.
She had made it clear before that she only had three days to claim her family's bodies, and after three days the rest would be burned immediately.
Plaza of Pride is still posting a notice!
“I will move the coffins in the pyramid to one pyramid, so that it will not go against the tradition of the Ghis nobles, but also set aside Plenty of space for other uses."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Green Graces was very pleased with Dany's intentions, and said, "I came to Your Majesty for two things, first, still today. There are three pyramids occupied by nobles, if they are willing to surrender, what will you do with them?
The second thing is Ser Chainbreaker's style...
In the process of recovering the 15 pyramids, 12 families were killed, men, women and children, and only a few families left children under the age of 5. The nobles in the other 3 pyramids surrendered, but they were still killed by Ser who were over 14 years old. Adults."
Seeing Dany's serious face, Green Graces advised, "If you're only going to rule Astapor, that's fine, but you have big ambitions to change the whole of Slaver's Bay... ..You know, Astapor is only a marginal city in Slaver's Bay, Yunkai and Meereen have more and larger pyramids, and there is a solid city wall outside the pyramids."
"I have Strictly ordered, only the most vicious slave-masters will be killed, and their children will never be harmed. The flyers scattered on the pyramids and the notices posted on the streets and alleys are all clear.
The uprising Freedomsguard killed 2,000 people, Almost half of them died at the hands of Unsullied because they violated my bottom line." Dany slowly said.
"But the Great Pyramid behind you was extinguish sect, but no murderer came out to take responsibility, Ser Chainbreaker had no scruples, and it seemed that he had found an example in other pyramids, and he killed the Great Pyramid before opening the door to surrender. The merchant's family."
