Chapter 70: You underestimated him

night fell, the scorching heat dissipated, but Meereen was still brightly lit and full of people strolling and strolling.

After Jack returned to the Prime Minister's Tower, Viteli immediately ran over.

"Brother, the Deputy Prime Minister's people came today and brought several boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, and a lot of porcelain."

"Take me to see it." Jack didn't expect Mantuo to be so efficient. After lunch in the morning, the things were delivered in the afternoon.

A total of five large boxes of things were sent, worth about 50,000 gold royals. It seemed that Mando had already understood Jack's meaning during the dinner.

They can embezzle at most half, but half of the embezzled half must be handed over to Jack, otherwise no one will get anything to embezzle.

In addition, Daenerys granted Jack the right to govern the second district without having to pay taxes, so Jack could get 100,000 gold dragons in one go.

The prosperity of the Second District is second only to the central area directly under Dany's jurisdiction, and the tax revenue every three months is about 40,000 gold dragons.

According to Jack's estimation, the tax revenue of the central area under Dany's control amounted to 60,000 to 70,000 gold dragons.

By this calculation, Meereen's tax revenue is 400,000 gold dragons every three months, which means 1.6 million gold dragons a year.

But unfortunately, such high taxes cannot last for a year. Once the Kaiser Pass and artificial canal projects are completed, tax revenue will definitely be cut in half.

Perhaps once the salt flats are replanted with olive trees and grapevines, Meereen's tax revenues could be restored to a million gold dragons a year.

A million gold dragons may seem like a lot, but there are many more places where the money needs to be spent.

Not to mention the 3,000 Meereen garrison, 18,000 free folk legion, and 9,000 Unsullied. It would cost a lot of money just to feed these 30,000 troops.

In addition, there are no slaves in Meereen now, and the servants in the Great Pyramid are paid well.

There are other miscellaneous expenses and a year's taxes, so it would be good if one tenth is left at the end.

What's more, with so much money, Dany might only get half of it in the end.

After checking that there was no problem with the property sent by Mantuo, Jack ordered his servants to deliver the five boxes of gold and silver to the warehouse he bought at the dock.

In order to more conveniently send the bribes and "tributes" he received back to Atlantis, Jack bought a large warehouse directly at the dock.

Every time the Great Wave Merchants traveled to and from Meereen, they would bring the money back to Atlantis.

Moreover, the servants and guards in the Prime Minister's Tower are all Atlanteans and are trustworthy.

At the same time, Atlantis has formulated very strict criminal laws and surveillance against corruption and bribery. The Seagull Organization is a supervisory department that Jack has just established.

The system of collective responsibility not only captured the Sons of the Harpy in Meereen, but also Varys's little bird.

At that time, Jack suddenly felt that the establishment of the intelligence department needed to be accelerated, because no matter what era, intelligence occupies a very important position.

So Jack formed Seagull, which was divided into two departments.

They are the white gulls that monitor Atlantis, and the grey gulls that monitor the entire world.

Due to the special nature of this department, both departments were established by Jack himself.

In order to construct the overall framework, Jack racked his brains to recall the history of his previous life and the organizational frameworks of the Jinyiwei, Heibingtai, and the Bad People in the novel.

Finally got the frame of the seagull out before all the hair fell out.

The highest level is the Seagull Commander-in-Chief.

Then came two White Gull Commanders and two Grey Gull Commanders.

There are five official positions at the principal and deputy principal levels, a total of ten people, who are the central power holders of the Seagull Organization.

Below that are level one to level three seagulls, with level three seagulls being the lowest level.

Level 1 Seagull is responsible for towns with a population of over 300,000.

Level 2 Seagull is responsible for towns with a population of over 200,000.

Level 3 Seagulls are responsible for towns with a population of more than 100,000, and towns with less than 100,000 are also under the jurisdiction of Level 3 Seagulls.

And finally there are the thousand households, hundred households and ten households under the command of Seagull.

Ten households manage large teams and small teams, with a large team consisting of five members and a small team consisting of three members.

The total number of large and small teams under each ten households cannot exceed three.

These are all formally established members, and in addition to them, a large number of informants need to be developed.

The informants are not organized and their identities are kept confidential. They will only receive rewards after providing information.

In this way, the basic framework of Seagull is established. The next step is to select people, build the framework, and slowly fill it with flesh and blood.

Jack gave the task of Commander-in-Chief of the Seagulls to Vittoria.

This little girl has grown rapidly under the guidance of various teachers. Her little head is no longer as dull as before, and her whole body exudes a lively aura.

Although the little girl has never been involved in intelligence work, Jack has given her the framework and ideas, and she just needs to learn slowly.

Varys was originally a slave and a actor, but he also wove a huge web that covered the world and was called the Octopus Spider.

Moreover, Vittoria is much more reliable than the Octopus Spider. After all, she has been growing up drinking the milk given by Jack since she was eleven years old. Needless to say, there is a relationship between the two.

In addition, Jack rarely goes to the battlefield nowadays, and the long sword Tsunami, which helped him a lot in the past, is now just a decoration.

Jack not only has Tsunami in his hand, but also two Valyrian longswords.

One of the spears was cut off by a tsunami when Jack was testing it, and was then melted into five spear heads to make five spears.

Finally, Jack officially gave Viteliel the Valyrian Dragon King Armor and the tsunami he had obtained before.

The meaning of this set of armor and the long sword is just like the Imperial Sword, which is the symbol of Jack's power. As long as he wears the armor and holds the long sword, it means that Jack is present in person.

Jack's full trust moved the little girl to tears and made her study harder.

At this time, in the Gru family mansion, Ivan was complaining to Mando that Jack was a vampire.

He just learned that his father had handed over half of the gold dragons he had embezzled to Jack Poseidon.

Mando's face was not angry at all. "Ivan, do you know why we have to give Jack whatever he wants?"

Ivan shook his head. "I don't know, but even if he wants half, we can give him less. He doesn't know how much tax we collect."

"Haha." Mando sneered and motioned Ivan to pour him a glass of wine.

Ivan immediately understood what his father meant and picked up the wine jug to fill Mando's glass.

"Yes, it seems that you have learned a lot from following Jack. At least your eyesight is much better than before."

After taking a sip of wine to moisten his throat, Mantuo continued:

"Son, you underestimate Jack Poseidon. Daenerys has seen him before, even often. Do you think the current policies of Meereen are something she could have thought of?"

Ivan's face froze, and he said weakly, "Isn't this what Her Majesty the Queen proposed at the court meeting? We all saw it."
