Chapter 41: Stealing a Day of Leisure

Seven days later, it was another sunny morning, and the city of Meereen seemed to be reborn.

Perhaps because of the short period of time, the living conditions have not changed too significantly, and those who should not have enough to eat are still not enough, and those who should wear tattered clothes are still wearing torn clothes.

But compared with the previous Meereen City, the numb slaves on the road disappeared, and they were all in a hurry, with hope flashing in their eyes, and it could be said that their spirits and spirits had changed.

A thriving city is always much better than a static city.

It's just that every pedestrian who passes by a tall pyramid will quietly slow down his pace, for fear of disturbing the people inside.

Because it was within this pyramid that the ruler of Meereen lived.

The splendid living room, the huge corridor, the vast hanging garden, and the energetic queues of the Unsullied to patrol back and forth here.

Today was a good day, Ma Shen sat on the seat and stretched hard, and vaguely smelled a faint fragrance of flowers.

The great lords will really enjoy it, Ma Shen tugged at the corners of his mouth, and turned his head to look out the window with the fragrance, and a garden was reflected in his eyes.

The garden is not strange, it is strange that this garden appears on the fifth floor and belongs to the hanging garden.

Outside the window, this hanging garden is full of bright and unique flowers, green and beautiful plants, and a few birds chirping in the middle of nowhere.

If you don't go out to make waves in such good weather, you will really treat yourself badly, Ma Shen decided to go out to wave after taking care of the things at hand.

With anticipation, he lowered his head and tore open a sealed new letter, this is the news that Tanma has just sent back, the army led by Lorient has finally arrived at Kaiyuan, according to the time estimate, I am afraid that it is now at the most critical moment,

I hope to be able to successfully conquer Kaiyuan, Ma Shen thought to himself, Meereen City has limited troops, and he has no ability to go to support for the time being, so he can only send his blessings.

He put the letter aside and didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't say that there was an order to convey to Rorent, who was fighting.

Not to mention that the order was passed to Kaiyuan, I am afraid that the war has ended, even if it is still in the stalemate stage, I will definitely not be able to make the right decision from a hundred miles away, not everyone is the "demon Zhuge Liang" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

After putting the envelope aside, there was still a last piece of paper on the table, and Ma Shen picked it up and looked at it.

This is the daily report of the officer in charge of the population diversion in Meereen.

(His Royal Highness the Honourable and Great Ma Shen。。。。。。。 Through a week's efforts, we have managed to resettle 10,000 unemployed and poor residents to villages and towns near Meereen。。。。。 We will fully fulfill your will. οΌ‰

10,000 people were diverted in a week, this result is neither good nor bad, Ma Shen thought about it for a while, and wrote some words of encouragement on a new piece of paper, probably hoping that you will make persistent efforts and give you a promotion reward after completing the population diversion task, and you will not be treated badly.

Fold the paper, and then Ma Shen handed it to the attendant next to him.

The population of Meereen is so large that it is not at all scientific at all that the world of ice and fire is only slightly higher than the productivity of the Western Middle Ages, and that nearly 200,000 inhabitants are crammed into a city in a honeycomb.

You must know that there are a total of 400,000 people in the area ruled by Meereen City, and nearly half of the population is piled up in the city.

Moreover, there are too many people in the city, and the security environment and employment are also big problems.

Fortunately, Meereen City is a commercial city-state, and it is not by farming to feed so many people, otherwise... I can only eat soil.

Therefore, in order to plan the population more scientifically, Ma Shen plans to slowly resettle half of the residents to other places.

Wait for the army to capture Kaiyuan, and then there will be time to slowly settle the small city-states scattered in Slave Bay, not afraid of having nowhere to settle.

The work was finally done, and Ma Shen threw the quill pen on the table.

"Bang bang" An attendant knocked lightly on the wooden door of the office twice, and then walked in with a stack of papers, "Your Highness, this is something that Lord Hebrew just passed on." ”

"I see, put it on the table. Ma Shen waved his hand boringly, there are too many government affairs, and there is no credible person for the time being.

After three minutes of heat, everything became very tired, and when would I be able to live as chic as King Robert.

Forget it, if you do less, you won't die, and it's okay if these things drag on for a while.

With such a good weather, no matter how you look at it, it is suitable to go out with a large group of knights to pretend to be forced, and then you can also pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, come to a hero to save the beauty, punish the evil and promote the good.

can't indulge in official duties all day long, and occasionally "debauchery", Ma Shen casually found a reason for his laziness.

(Hebrew: Your Highness, you have only been on official business for a few days, and I want to "debauchery" too.) οΌ‰

When the matter came, Ma Shen began to think seriously about what he could do.

Take dozens of strong cavalry, and then gallop outside the city in a handsome manner?

A large wave of fan girls were attracted by their bravery, shouting their names next to them, there were girls in love for the first time, young women who were new to women, mature women with charm still there, and aunts who were domineering and exposed. . .

Well, it's a little silly, this is not King's Landing, it's yellow wind outside, and it's all dust when you ride a horse and gallop, not only are the people blowing dirty, but you can't even tell who is who.

The nobles of the world of ice and fire are similar to the nobles of the Western Middle Ages, they don't have to worry about food and clothing like ordinary people, but there are not many real entertainment activities, creating people is one of them, holding banquets is also one, and the rest is only hunting.

There are often aristocrats who claim that hunting is the real aristocratic activity.

Of course, the really domineering nobles directly hold knightly competitions, such as King Robert who was killed by a wild boar.

Make people suitable for the evening, report the banquet for wasting money, hold a knight competition... You have to have knights under you.

Thinking about it, Ma Shen decided to visit the market in Meereen City to see what strange goods there were.

"Bring that custom-made white robe. ”

"Yes, Your Highness," the squire nodded.

After a while, the attendant walked in with a maid with a white robe in her hand.

This robe will feel familiar to Orientals if they see it, because it is a gentleman's costume that often appears in costume dramas.

The white clothes are better than the snow, the green silk is like ink, the eyes are longing, the flow is unparalleled, the gentle gentleman, the robe is made of the finest fabric, the delicate buckle belt, and the tight corset.

Ma Shen put on a white robe under the service of the maid, and posed slightly in front of a bronze mirror, looking like a handsome son.

"But it seems like there's something missing. Fiddling in front of the bronze mirror for a while, Ma Shen frowned slightly, "By the way, it seems that there is still a three-headed dragon squatting in my house, and occasionally I still have to take it out to slip around, otherwise I will become a house." ”

Others walk the dog, I walk the dragon.
