Chapter 150

Faith is such a thing, sometimes firm invulnerability, sometimes there is no fart. Just like the faith of the Harpy Son. Most of the members of this secret organization, which was originally circulated among the Meereen nobles, were slave owners or big merchants.

As for the members of the lower ranks, they are just cannon fodder that can be discarded at any time. Those people never had any faith, simply put, they just took money to eat. And now, they can't eat anymore, because their heads have become someone else's rice bowl.

Meereen's Harpy Sons are very numerous. In particular, the participants at the lower level are countless. But no matter how many, there are not as many freedmen as there are. One record shows that there were less than 100,000 freemen in Meereen's slave-owning family, but more than 500,000 slaves.

And after being liberated by Daenerys, it means that there are now at least half a million free people in the whole of Meereen. And they basically can't be the children of the Harpy. And Daenerys, after freeing the slaves, did not provide enough work for these freemen. So, they are free, but their livelihood has always been a problem. Now, the queen has found them a job for all. Look for the Harpy Son.

In just one night, the Unsullied and the Second Son received more than 300 reports. The 8,000 Unsullied, and the 3,000 sub-regiments, almost all of them were dispatched, and more than 1,000 suspects were arrested in one night. And among them, at least seventy percent are people who have actually participated in the activities of the Harpy Son.

And for this series of achievements, Daenerys only paid for one night with the Unsullied, and about 800 gold coins.

And the more than seven hundred participants, as long as they are strictly interrogated, will definitely be able to dig out more and deeper high-level leaders of the Harpy Son. It can be said that in just one night, the son of the harpy has already broken his muscles and bones. The point is that this is just the beginning. The freedmen, who had tasted the sweetness, began to actively search for the hidden children of the harpy. For a time, everyone in the entire Meereen became bounty hunters.

Inside the Great Pyramid, Daenerys once again invited Su Yuan to the banquet.

"Mr. Grant, I don't know anything. I've had bounties before. And the amount is much higher than the current one, but it has no effect at all. No one dared to report the Harpy Sons. Why are they no longer afraid? ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty. At that time, they did not dare to report it because whoever reported it would face the danger of being killed. They fear the son of the harpy. And now, they are even more afraid of you. The sons of the harpy, they will only kill if they betray them. But now, if they don't do anything, they may also be killed. So they have to act. That is, for the protection of yourself, but also for the sake of your gold. So, fear, with grace, and then you get the results you want. Grace and power are equally important, and this is the truth. ”

"Envy and .......," Daenerys repeated softly. I just feel like I'm feeling a sense of enlightenment. These four words of short answer seemed to contain infinite philosophies, giving her a new understanding of her vague ruling career.

Such a concise and profound statement, but I have never heard of its origin. The surname Grant has never appeared in history, neither in the Valyrian era nor in Valantis. I've heard this surname in the mouths of some maritime merchants. The Tempest Swordmaster of the Seven Kingdoms, son-in-law of House Stark, upstart of Westeros, Lord Scots. ”

"That's right, it's me. I have never concealed my surname, and my identity, but Her Majesty has never asked. If you ask, I'll tell you the truth. ”

"At first, I wouldn't believe that. But now, I believe what you say is true. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? The Starks, and our House Targaryens, have a blood feud. ”

"So what? Are there twenty Unsullied ones in ambush behind the screen? But as far as I know, Sir Jorah was the only one behind it. ”

Daenerys looked at Su Yuan quietly for a few seconds, and then diverted the topic.

"The Harpy Son is no longer a threat. What's next? Those freedmen can't make a living hunting down the children of the Harpy, and I can't just send money. Part 2, how to go? ”

"Olive groves, wine estates, these places are already terra nullius. I know that Your Majesty is going to speak of these rewards for your subordinates. But you can't play with one or two people alone. Why not let the freedmen go back to work?

Let them return to their original manor in the form of employment. Part of the output is paid to their salaries, and the other part is replenished to the state treasury. ”

"But it's not enough, many estates have been destroyed. And a lot of farmland outside the city, as well as estates, are not safe. There's no way I'm going to send the Unsullied to protect them. The armies of Yuankai and Aspota could attack at any moment. Farther away, Quiles and Valantis were also on the move. ”

"Then do a public facility upgrade. (Think of my Great Celestial Empire, the construction of public facilities has expanded to the whole world). Meereen's drains, do they need to be cleaned? Does the street need repairs? Now that war is imminent, do the walls need to be repaired? Is there enough food reserves, and are there trenches needed outside the city?

All of this can be converted into the work of the freedmen. At the same time, keep telling them. It's working for their own city. It's a matter of course for them to develop an inherent mindset to work and then get paid. If this continues, they will become truly free people. And Her Majesty will also become the true Queen of Freedom. ”

"Queen of Liberty......" Daenerys seems to have some emotion about this title. But she quickly regained her mind.

"Sir Grant. You have made a significant contribution to Meereen. What do you want? ”

"It's simple. I need some craftsmen. The best kind. ”

Su Yuan had a whole box of Valyrian steel, as well as a huge skin of a mutated fire earthworm. These require the best craftsmen to be able to turn these things into combat power.

The skin of the fire earthworm, Su Yuan was going to make a few pieces of leather armor. That thing was invulnerable, and Valyrian steel kendo couldn't destroy it. Made into leather armor, it is definitely a weapon for self-defense.

Just as Su Yuan was returning to his residence, Sassani walked up.

"Sue, I received a message from the ravens in the north, there are some things you want to see."
