Chapter 165
Time flies, and two months have passed since the end of the war.
Under the sunset, a dark red scale wave appeared in the sea, and a galley with 'Seahorse' painted on the side swayed and sailed to the city to the west, Yunkai!
The old poet Denzo stood on the bow, his half-length grey hair fluttered in the salty and wet sea breeze, looking at the dragon hovering over the pyramid in the distance, he was full of emotion: "I'm back again."
p>
"Woo--" A low horn sound came from behind suddenly, and the sailors on the mast lookout immediately shouted down: "It's the 'Prince Viserys', the Dragon Queen's fleet has returned to port."
Denzo turned around and saw a red-hulled longship leading the way, chasing almost twice as fast as Seahorse.
The wide great ship sails, extending seven or eight meters beyond the hull, are printed with a distinctive roaring dragon pattern.
There are nine long and narrow long boats behind the red-hulled boat. The sails have Black Dragon patterns on a white background. They are like ice blades walking on the ocean, giving people a sharp, fast, Aggressive feeling.
"crash-bang....." Soon, the red-hulled boat at the forefront cut through the waves, like a flying fish jumping out of the sea, lightly and swiftly crossing the Seahorse side.
"Prince Viserys." Denzo read Valyria in black paint on the hull.
"Ai, even the navy has become large, can she really change the world?" the old poet murmured in a low voice.
Captain Seahorse is over forty years old and has a red beard with a bushy face. He seems to hear the whispers from the old man. He stepped forward and stood side by side with the old mercenary. A full 200 sea ships were captured in Meereen.
Sea ships are not long ships and cannot be used as warships, but there are sailors and slave boatmen on sea ships.
You haven't seen them before. In that scene, the slaves on the pier saw Daenerys riding a dragon flying overhead, and almost everyone stretched out their hands like crazy, shouting 'Mhysa, Mhysa'.
Dragon Queen never lacks Ships, experienced sailors and Meereen's huge shipyard are what she desires most.
By winning Meereen, the last shortcoming of the Navy has been filled. In another three or five years, it is estimated that Summer Sea will also fall under True Dragon's sharp claw."
"I'm afraid the Allies won't give her three or five years?" Denzo sighed.
"Hehe, I hope the Allies can last for three or five years." Captain Redbeard shook his head disapprovingly, and said meaningfully: "What I have experienced in the past few months is all to explain one thing, With dragons, you can master the world, without dragons? Kneel at Daenerys' feet obediently and honestly and shout 'Long live Queen'."
"Oh, why do you say that? Edward, you haven't seen it.' White Poplar Slope 'Battle?" Denzo wondered.
While the Dragon Queen has won countless battles over the past two months, only the White Poplar Slope has won a battle entirely by dragons.
Other times it's more about her superior ingenuity, and dragon plays a role, but it's not as shocking as the White Poplar Slope battle.
"I've been shipping in Slaver's Bay for the past two months, and I, the Seahorse, have helped the Dragon Queen transport millions of Gold Honors from Meereen to Astapor.
tsk tsk, after winning Slaver's Bay, Queen Dany suddenly became the richest person in the world, and some people speculate that she has at least 100 million Gold Honor." Edward the red-bearded said enviously.
"One hundred million?" Denzo was shocked by the fiercely, and then asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with dragons?"
"Oh, you think, how many people did Dragon Queen send? Ten ships, to transfer Meereen's wealth to Astapor, how big of a battle would it be?
Can the Allied fleet react?
Not long after, the two sides will have a fierce battle at sea , about seventy Allied warships against five Queen fleets. 14:1, under normal circumstances the Dragon Queen would be defeated, but the Dragon Queen rode a dragon to the Prince Viserys.
Seventy ships Throwing incendiary bombs is not as efficient as the three dragons throwing incendiary bottles.
Oh, you can't think of it, the three dragons get the incendiary bottles from the ocean ship, and Unsullied is responsible for loading the ammunition for the dragon, and the number is too fast."
Denzo suddenly said, "Aren't all the dozens of ships of the Dragon Queen loaded with treasure?"
"Hehehe, do you think the Queen is stupid? The fake news she deliberately released, the treasure is fake Yes, the Unsullied on the ship is real, even us captains have been deceived." The red beard oddly said with a smile.
"Isn't it a big loss for the Allies? I don't think there are any Allied warships in Slaver's Bay anymore," Denzo said.
"The two sides fought from morning to evening. Three of the Dragon Queen's five ships sank, and the other side's seventy ships sank twenty-nine.
But there are still twenty-two The sails of the ship were burned, and the Dragon Queen captured it lying on the sea surface. The number of sailors who fell into the water and were captured was 3,000.
After the war, Slaver's Bay was completely calm, and no one dared to Then stroke Queen Dany's dragon beard."
In the end, Captain Redbeard concluded with a complex expression: "That's why I say that the Dragon Queen with dragons is almost invincible."
"Maybe." Denzo looked at the shore that was getting closer and couldn't help thinking of the old witch who left Yunkai with him that day.
Tattered Prince went to New Ghis with Grazdan, Denzo went to New Ghis naturally to find his head. Maegi is going to Qarth to sell a house and then back home in the Far East.
The two had different goals and should have broken up at New Ghis, but the New Ghis people didn't let Maegi leave, because they also heard that Maegi actually hatched a dragon!
This news is amazing, and the meaning it represents is extraordinary.
Perhaps, it won't be long before New Ghis and Qarth have dragons too?
Well, I don't know which Royal Family in the Zhou State of the two cities died first...
With a sigh, the old poet went back to the cabin, carrying a half-person Tall huge suitcases ready to leave the deck.
To Yunkai.
"Edward, I'll go first."
"Wait a minute, I'm with you." Red-bearded Edward yelled.
"I want to see the Dragon Queen redeem the more than 100 captured brothers, what are you doing?" Denzo stopped, turned his head and asked in confusion.
"Queen posted signs in town asking for seeds and young plants of exotic flowers and rare herbs, I got some from New Ghis, hope..." Redbeard winked at Denzo and rubbed his eyes. He started and said, "Follow you and maybe meet Queen herself."
"I don't have that much face." Denzo smiled wryly.
"It depends on luck, it's not a loss anyway." Red Beard told the first mate a few words, and then pulled Denzo to the pier.
The wharf was still scorched when I left last time. At this time, the stone embankment where the ships docked was still scorched black, but there was a row of brand-new brick and tile houses on the open space along the coast, with restaurants and barbecue stalls. , clothing store, warehouse...
"No prostitute?" It took Denzo a while to realize that Yunkai, known as the capital of bed slaves, had no brotherel in the dock area.
"No, Dragon Queen allows those girls in training to regain their freedom. According to the "legal code" she formulated, in the article "Marriage Law", women Free Folk over the age of 18 must marry , If oneself can't find her husband's family, the civil judge will help arrange a partner."
"Those prostitutes are all married?" Denzo said in surprise.
"It's not that simple." The red beard shook his head and said with a complicated expression: "Unless oneself finds a partner, if a civil officer is required to intervene, before helping the woman arrange a partner, they will be arranged to participate in the 'Good Wife and Good Wife'. Mother's exam'."
"What?" Denzo's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Ai, if you want to get married after the age of 18, you must pass the test of a good wife and good mother."
Do you still have to pass the test if you want to marry?
Denzo has lived fifty-sixty years and has never heard anything so bizarre.
"Test what?"
"Can bake bread; pickle sausage, or smoke bacon; and recite Discussion of Vegetables and Roots Volume 1. The above three are basic, not Passing can't get married.
apart from this There are also bonus points for knitting female red, farming and grazing, chess, calligraphy and painting. Civil officials will give rewards based on the score and help arrange better Husbands. ' said the red beard.
"This..." Denzo was stunned, muttered: "Why is this?"
"Ai, isn't that obvious? Wouldn’t the whole family starve to death if you roast it? If you don’t know how to marinate or bacon, your family kills cattle, sheep, pigs and other animals, and you can’t eat them all in one meal, won’t the rest rot?” Redbeard asked back.
"Dragon Queen said?"
"Well, she explained that to everyone. You have to understand that Yunkai prostitute may be proficient in the more difficult Way of the Seven Sighs, But they can't live at all. Dragon Queen wants to find a wife for oneself soldiers, not a noble Lady."
"It makes sense." Denzo said with emotion: "Dragon Queen is really thoughtful, not kind. Bad thing."
Redbeard seems to have been praised by oneself, and proudly nodded, saying: "Of course, in order to encourage those women to make progress, the reward given by Dragon Queen is very high.
p>
In addition to Gold Honor, jewelry, jewelry, gorgeous clothes, Yi Ti silk and other material rewards, there are also nobles such as 'Little Lady', 'Lady', 'Big Lady'."
Denzo was stunned, "A title specially prepared for women?"
Well, obviously, Dany borrowed some systems from the ancient dynasties, but not the same as the ancient dynasties, women because of men (sons, Husband) and high status, the women of Slaver's Bay only need to rely on oneself ability to achieve respectable status.
But it is not as complicated as the ancient "second grade Lady, third grade Shuren, fourth grade Gongren, fifth grade pleasant, sixth grade Anren, seventh grade Ruren", only "Little Lady, Lady, Big" Lady" three grades.
"How do I get a title?" Denzo asked again.
Redbeard thought for a while and said: "It is determined by the score of the 'good wife' assessment and future performance. For example, if a woman is particularly good at handicraft, then she can become a 'little lady' ', the status is similar to Knight.
If you can make inventions that are beneficial to the people, you can become a 'Lady', 'Big Lady', similar to Ser.
For example, a month Before, a female textile worker in Meereen donated a loom to Queen, because it is twice as efficient as a normal loom, Dragon Queen directly named the female worker a 'big lady', and also rewarded her with 100,000 Gold Honor."
"One hundred thousand Gold Honor?" Denzo was stunned, he had more money than a mercenary.
"Ai, that's why Dragon Queen has a lot of air! She said that after the promotion of the loom, the benefits of all Free Folks are far more than 100,000 Gold Honor, and she is equivalent to buying women's weaving at one time. The patent rights of the machine.
Well, 'patent rights' is also the first thing Dragon Queen said.
She also said that when the time is right, she will add patents to "legal code" To encourage people to work hard for a better world." Edward's eyes were filled with reverence that could not be concealed.
"For a better world..." Denzo seemed insane.
"Although my slave boatman was also liberated by Queen, I have to say that I prefer Queen Dany to slave-master." Edward said in a complicated tone.
"Wow..." Denzo came back to his senses and asked, "What is that "Discussion of Vegetables and Roots"?"
"It is said that "Discussion of Vegetables and Roots" The Discussion of Vegetables and Roots is divided into high, middle and low volume 1. Volume 1 is prepared for ordinary families, that is, wash your hands before eating, take a bath at least once every seven days, how to make toothbrush and toothpaste, soap for bathing and shampooing, common symptoms identification and How to deal with it... Hey, it's too messy, almost everything is covered."
"I know a toothbrush, but what is toothpaste?" Denzo asked with a question mark on his forehead.
"The herbs for cleaning teeth are made into a paste."
"Ai, it seems that it is a bit difficult to be a qualified wife, even harder than learning the Way of the Seven Sighs !" Denzo exclaimed.
"If a woman can oneself find her husband's family before the age of 18, without the help of a civil judge to find Husband, there is no need to take the test. The Dragon Queen said that the man is responsible for the choice of oneself."
