Chapter 109
On the third day after breaking the city gate, all the pyramids fell into Dany's hands, except for the weird pyramid with a circular dome like the Temple of the Graces, a total of 18.
The tallest one belongs to the big slave-master Grazdan, 100 meters, and the shortest is less than 50 meters.
Eight of them were extinguish sect, the other four had only a few young children under the age of five, three more had all adults dead, and only minors under the age of 14 survived. Dany didn't execute anyone because of the Green Graces.
It took another week for the entire city to be cleaned up by Unsullied, whether it was the new Free Folk or the original Ghis civilians, a total of more than 123,000 people.
Well, the 18 pyramids and the attached Colosseum contributed tens of thousands of slaves.
With a ratio of slave-turned Free Folk to Ghis civilians approaching 20:1, Astapor is completely in Dany's grasp.
When the clerk registered the Free Folk, they were divided into five classes by "soldiers, soldiers, farmers, workers, and merchants".
In simple terms, a skilled craftsman is a worker, and he can choose to start his own business and become a small businessman like Lysa, a textile worker.
For honest people who are unskilled and illiterate, or people with family bonds, Dany will allocate dozens of acres of fertile land for them to go to the Worm River plain outside the city as farmers.
Unskilled but dishonest, for example, the original slave soldiers, Pit Fighter, were incorporated into the militia by Dany, and Knight Jorah was responsible for training them into a regular army.
Well, this will also be a process of elimination. Elite militiamen will be recruited and incorporated into a separate team, and those who are unqualified will become local guards like the police and the police.
Unsullied are still used as police officers to maintain order in the city, but their best use is in Legion wars in the wild, and it's too wasteful to be a guard in the city.
A person who has read and literate is counted as a "scholar", but Dany's taxi and scholar-officer are completely different concepts.
The real power lies in the hands of the nobles who hold the handle of the knife and can cut people and kill people. In this world, scholar-officials will always appear impossible.
Because the social structure of this world is open, there is no way to live a oneself life behind closed doors like Huaxia Heavenly Dynasty.
There is no doubt that scholar-bureaucrats are helpful in maintaining the rule of kingship.
If you want to centralize power and become the Great Emperor of one word worth nine sacred tripods, the scholar-bureaucrat is the emperor's best helper.
But in the same way, no matter which dynasty, when the scholar-bureaucrat took power, the national strength would inevitably decline.
martial artist is easy to cause unrest, but the military is really powerful.
In a relatively closed environment like the Celestial Dynasty, the unification dynasty will be stronger than the nearby barbarian country even if it declines.
But this world is open, your military is weak, and you can't survive at all.
So Westeros Citadel has been around for thousands of years, and almost every noble family has a Maester tutor. Maester's knowledge and insight are several times and dozens of times more than those of the literati, but Maester still failed to become a strong Taxi-official class.
Well, I really don't mean to belittle the ancient Chinese literati or elevate the status of Maester.
Maester in "Song of Ice and Fire" is super awesome, art, literature, arithmetic, agriculture are just basic skills, philosophy, archeology, astrology, medicine, anatomy, Magic, mysticism, etc. must be dabble.
And Maester is not dead reading at all. Every Maester is born with extreme strictness, and their action force is extremely strong.
It can be used as a doctor, as a teacher of a child, as a staff member, secretary, steward of a nobleman, and as a military advisor in case of war, as long as you can think of any occupation, they are almost all capable.
Maesters are not afraid of death, and often go around the world to explore new knowledge, such as Mirri Maegi's teacher - Maester Marwyn.
A Westeros person went to the Shadow Lands tens of thousands of miles away to "study abroad".
Anyone who can read and count is classified by Dany as a "scholar".
Well, Maester's "scholar," dedicated to serving other people.
She oneself established a staff of 200 people, all of whom were slave scholars who did not want to become free people.
Dany didn't treat them too badly, and still let them live in the Great Pyramid, with two maids serving them, and the three meals a day were only one or two times lower than Dany's.
Well, the maids are no longer slaves. They sign labor contracts and have wages, pensions, and medical insurance—the kind of real medical insurance that is completely exempt.
Even so, it's cheaper than hiring academics as clerks.
If those scholars get rid of slave status and sign labor contracts with Dany again, the salary they get is far higher than what Dany pays to support them.
"I don't know what they think." Dany complained to Whitebeard.
Whitebeard told her that this is normal. In Westeros, Maesters are almost the same as these scholars. They do not get paid and serve the oneself lord for free for a lifetime, and the nobles are also responsible for supporting them for a lifetime. … ..well, Maester has to live a decent life as well.
If the nobles dare to insult, abuse, oppress, or dismiss their Maesters for no reason, Citadel will also take care of those Maesters, in addition to threatening to no longer provide Maesters to noble families, but also through the Grand Maester of King's Landing Talk to King to punish him.
Without Maester, no one manages Raven, and the nobles cannot even communicate with the outside world.
And Grand Maester, as one of the Chancellors, is eligible to participate in the Small Council.
Dany has five artificial classes, but these new social classes are very uneven.
Including the service industry, workers account for more than half of them, with more than 50,000 people, mostly women; there are 30,000 soldiers, the oldest are fifty-sixty years old, and the youngest are only eight or nine years old; There are only a few thousand Ghis left who all choose 'merchant', although they have few businesses and stores.
There are too few people who choose to farm, almost all of them are "cowardly" farming peoples such as Lhazar and Naathi.
These days, except for the Ghis people who have a family and business, the new Free Folk in the whole city relies on Dany to support it. Although there are plenty of materials in the pyramid, this kind of big pot of rice can't last long.
So, she must restore normal city order as soon as possible.
In the new society under the new system, the first priority is to clarify the laws and regulations.
Tenth day after Astapor.
The misty mist in the morning dissipated like a phantom, the bright red sun was like egg yolk, and before it reached the spire of the Great Pyramid, the red masonry square had begun to heat up slightly.
“wu wu—”
A long, low horn sounded from the top of the Great Pyramid, and the whole city awoke quickly under a strange force, the ten days that the Mother of Dragons ruled Astapor, There have been a few times like this, and the townspeople know she's calling city dwellers to the Plaza of the People to assemble.
"I heard that this is the voice of Dragon Horn? Dragon Horn can control dragon." A new Free Folk whispered to his companions as he walked.
He is a thin monkey-like middle-aged black man from Summer Isles. He is less than 1.5 meters tall, with a thin body and flexible hands and feet.
"Maybe." Acrobat's companion was a freed scholar, a white man in his forties, of medium build, not well-educated, and poor in writing and writing. He was not the kind of high-level slave with a good life.
However, he was always more knowledgeable than his acrobat companions, and said worriedly: "I hope it wasn't Yunkai's slave-master who called."
"What are you afraid of, the newly formed 30,000 guards No, Queen Your Majesty still has more than 10,000 Unsullied! I would like to join the Queen Guard, so that I have a chance to take revenge on the slave dealer Fiercely! Even become Queen Your Majesty's horn hand." Thin Monkey said.
"You don't understand, Yunkai slave-masters don't need to defeat Unsullied. If they burn down the manor outside the city first, the livelihood of more than 100,000 people in the city may become a big problem," said the free scholar.
Any city cannot be completely self-sufficient. It must have agricultural and animal husbandry in the suburbs to maintain its daily needs. Astapor is no exception. There are densely packed slave-master estates with at least 200,000 people.
Among the more than 200,000 people, there are about 30,000 Ghis people. Before freeing up his hands to clean up those manor owners, Dany also sent horse men cavalry to the village head to post "Four Great Prohibitions". Notice: Dare to kill one's own slave on a large scale, destroy the whole family; dare to burn grain depots, wheat fields and olive trees, or kill cattle and sheep on a large scale, let them rot and produce maggots, destroy the whole family; Dare to poison the well , or directly block water wells, or even destroy water canals and farmland infrastructure, destroy the whole family; dare to connect with each other, gather together to form an army to kill the horse men cavalry patrolling the villages and towns, and destroy the whole family.
Of course, Dany is not blindly tyrannical. Behind the four prohibitions is the "Declaration to the People of Ghis" to appease the people: Queen Daenerys solemnly promises that all the estate owners who do not violate the above four prohibitions will have their family and children. They can be kept safe, with limited assurance that their property will not be harmed, including fields and warehouses.
Neither the freelance scholar nor the skinny monkey Acrobat know this, let alone that more than 20 manor slave-masters have been extinguish sect in the past ten days.
If slave-masters can be frightened by a few signs, they too can't be considered evil slave-masters.
Some shrewd guys set fire to granaries and olive woods on purpose, hoping to attract horse men patrols, and then they would just sit back and catch them all.
Unfortunately, the ideal is very vivid and full, but the reality is cruel and abnormal.
The job of applying for the "Hukou" for the new Free Folk is indeed complicated, but the clerical team is busy. Dany himself is quite leisurely, practicing swordsmanship with Whitebeard, while receiving several citizen visitors. I don't know how relaxing it is.
So, she has time to work as a scout for the horse men cavalry.
Before each action, Big Black would fly over the troubled manor, and the Ghis people could see the situation clearly. Black Dragon would even land on the ground and draw the defense map of the manor with his claws. .
The next thing is simple, a thousand Unsullied rushed up, two hundred horse men cavalry shot outside, and almost all the rebellious manors were a wave.
Then the whole family of slave-masters who were making troubles were picked on the lance by horse men and ran around the village at the beginning and end of the village, and the rest of the people were honest.
Well, Dany's so-called extinguish sect is not the whole family neat and tidy, it still only kills adults, children under the age of 14 are temporarily locked up, and they will be dealt with when she is done with this.
There are two reasons for not directly sending Unsullied to level the manor: First, they are afraid that the owner of the manor will jump over the wall and frantically destroy food and production materials; second, the casualties are too high.
With the help of Big Black, the turmoil in the more than 20 manors was quelled, and 18 Unsullied and 22 horse men Warrior were also killed, while the other party only paid more than 1,000 Ghis peasant casualties .
The idea is not '1000Unsullied +200horse men' vs 'more than a thousand Ghis ordinary person', only half of the more than 1,700 Ghis people are men, and they are distributed in more than 20 manors.
There are less than a hundred Ghis and three-four hundred wobbly slave peasants fighting a thousand Unsullied at a time.
The main reason is that the complex environment of the manor is not suitable for tough battles. Each manor is almost a small castle, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
