Chapter 151

After Su Yuan and the others entered Meereen, the first thing they did was to send a letter to the northern border. As a result, in less than three days, there was already a reply. Su Yuan felt that the ravens in this world were the most fantastical creatures.

In addition to a large part of the content of missing Sassanid and Arya, the rest of the letter is to explain the movements of the stranger. In the past two years, the stranger side seems to have completed the assembly. And the army of savages who was forced to be helpless was the Seven Kingdoms who made a compromise. In place of the Night's Watch, they will be stationed on the Great Wall, becoming the first line of defense against the Strangers, in exchange for the opportunity to cross the Wall and take refuge.

And the Night King seems to have found a way to break through the Great Wall. It is said that in the land of eternal winter, there was once a trumpet sound. At that time, the entire Great Wall of Desperation trembled abnormally. According to the scholars of the Seven Kingdoms, it is highly likely that the Night King has obtained the legendary Winter Horn. And if that's the case, it means that the time for the alien to attack is not far off.

"Looks like we're running out of time."

In the original book, the Night King had to get the dragon a few years later before he forcibly broke through the Great Wall of Desperation. But now, without a dragon, it seems to have found a way to do the same. Or rather, this is the method he had prepared.

"Sasanian, get ready, we're going shopping."

Daenerys did not break her promise, and found the best leathersmith for Su Yuan and the others, and asked them to process the skin of the fire earthworm. And Su Yuan gave feedback generously.

"It's a piece of Valyrian steel. If Her Majesty wants to be a true queen, then of course there must be a qualified imperial sword. A Valyrian steel sword is a perfect fit. ”

"It's too precious." Daenerys is a descendant of Targaryens, so she naturally knows how much the Valyrian ingot is worth. That steel ingot was enough to make two one-handed swords.

"This is a gift to a queen, and naturally it must have enough value."

Daenerys eventually took it. For nothing else, a Valyrian steel sword does have an unrivalled appeal with a king.

And after Su Yuan left, Jola stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, this kind of steel ingot was a strategic reserve that only the Valyrian Peninsula had back then. It is a relic of the days of the Fortress of Freedom. He must have more ingots in his hands. ”

"What do you want to say about Jorah?"

"I want to say that with your command, I can find his ship tonight and bring all the Valyrian steel back."

Daenerys was silent, seemingly moved.

At the same time, Su Yuan and the others also returned to the ship. Su Yuan didn't go back to rest, but sat on the deck and waited quietly. Sassanid walked over to her.

"Are you waiting for her to send someone to rob? That kind of steel ingot, it was easy to arouse her suspicions. As a queen, she couldn't let it go. It's just that I don't understand, why are you doing this? You could have given her a sword. We also have a surplus one-handed sword. ”

"No, this is the last test I give her. If she sends tonight, then I'll end everything for her tonight. If he doesn't come, it means that she hasn't turned into the kind of person I hate the most. ”

Sasan didn't speak, she didn't understand why Su Yuan was so optimistic about that girl. But she didn't ask much, but sat quietly beside him and spent the night with him. When the first rays of sunlight hit Meereen's harbor, Su Yuan stood up.

"Alright, let's go back and rest. I still have a few more things to deal with. ”

Su Yuan himself doesn't know much about politics. After all, it's just from the grassroots. However, in the era of the information explosion, I have seen a lot of messy things.

Reform from the top down has been extremely difficult since ancient times. The reason is simple: the old system will inevitably give birth to a large number of beneficiaries. And these beneficiaries are spread across all classes. You overthrew the top nobility, but the middle and lower class beneficiaries remain hostile to reform.

Therefore, reform is never achieved overnight. Daenerys' biggest problem is that she thinks that with the Unsullied and her own dragons, she can easily wipe out all the voices of resistance. But when these voices were hidden among her people, she couldn't help it.

The advice given by Su Yuan was very simple.

"Your Majesty, if you want to defeat an old system and establish a new one. Then you have to start by supporting a group of beneficiaries of the new system. And when these new beneficiaries are bordered by an entire class. They will naturally help you defeat the beneficiaries of the old system without your intervention. After all, nothing is more moving than benefits. ”

"Those people are just slaves, they can't deal with those slave owners."

"That's right. Because the beneficiaries of the old system, after absorbing a great deal of resources, far surpassed those slaves in knowledge, insight, and resourcefulness. So at first they couldn't fight it. This requires the support of the Queen. Slaves did not have the spirit of resistance, because most of them were born slaves, and they did not know what they were going to do or what they wanted. Even when they became freedmen, they still didn't know what they were supposed to do. You need to reverse that thinking, and it's a long job. ”

"How to reverse it?"

"Quite simply, education. You need to value the most important group of people in the city, the kids. You have to tell them who they are, what they should do, and who they should be loyal to. You have to teach them knowledge, martial arts, you have to tell them who to fight for. And when they grow up, all the problems will be solved. ”

"Education...... We don't have that many bachelors. As soon as Daenerys spoke, Su Yuan interrupted her.

"You see, that's the problem with the old system. Everyone thought that only a bachelor could spread knowledge. However, in fact, the children of those slaves, they do not need to learn the heraldry of the nobility, they do not need to learn the etiquette of the nobility, they do not need to learn the history of the messy family.

There is only one coat of arms that they need to keep in mind, and that is the Queen's coat of arms. Only one person needs to salute, Queen. It is only necessary to learn the history of one person, the history of the Queen. And these things don't need a bachelor's degree, as long as any literate person can do it.

And the advantage of this is that you will get a group of young people who are absolutely loyal as quickly as possible. This will be the source of your true power for reform. And when you completely roll out the new system, you can start to expand education. Let those children who are good at military force serve in the army. Let those children who are learning knowledge, go to study history, heraldry, medicine, ravenology...... And by the time these people grow up, you have a true empire, an invincible, invincible empire. ”
