Chapter 53: Decentralization, Round Table Meeting

Soon it was the next day and Daenerys summoned her men.

Including Missandei, Grey Worm, Aggo, Jhogo, Rakharo, Jorah, Barristan, all came, and of course, Jack was also there.

In addition to them, there were eleven other nobles. At this moment, all eleven of them stood stiffly below, staring at Grey Worm and the others.

Although most of the policies were proposed by Jack, he couldn't say them all, but Daenerys had to say them.

Jack's current interim goal is very clear, which is to support Dany in securing her position as queen.

Only when Dany's position is secure can his power as prime minister continue to expand.

As his power continues to expand, he can continue to suck blood, and Atlantis will be able to better survive the early growth stage.

Dany sat on the throne. "I decided to stay in Meereen and learn how to govern. When I have enough ships, I will cross the sea to take back the Iron Throne that belongs to me."

Dany first expressed her plan. As a leader, she must set phased goals for her subordinates.

Jorah and others chose to follow Dany, so Dany naturally had to give them benefits and power.

Then Dany began to reward people. She appointed Jorah as the commander of the Meereen garrison, recruited two thousand men, and was responsible for the security of Meereen.

Then Ago, Jhogo, Rakharo and Barristan were appointed as the Queen's Guard, with Barristan as the captain and Rakharo as the vice-captain.

Missandei was also appointed as the steward of the Tower of Dragon, the great pyramid where Dany was.

Finally, Dany took out two medals and said, "From now on, the Imperial Council will be dissolved and replaced by the Round Table Conference. At the same time, the number of seats will be increased to fourteen, and the original seats of the Imperial Council will all be set to positive and negative."

"The two medals in my hand, the gold one is for the Prime Minister, and the silver one is for the Deputy Prime Minister. The job of the Deputy Prime Minister is to assist the Prime Minister in handling affairs."

After hearing what Dany said, the eleven nobles, who were originally a little reserved, suddenly became active.

A few smart ones have already guessed Daenerys's intention of calling them over.

"Jack Poseidon."

"I am here, Your Majesty."

"I now officially grant you the position of Hand of the Queen. Your talents are evident to all."

After saying that, Dany stood up and walked to Jack, then personally put the badge of the Queen's Hand on Jack.

"Prime Minister Jack, the position of deputy prime minister is still vacant. Do you have any recommended candidates?" Dany asked.

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Jack held such an important position in Daenerys' heart.

You know, everyone has guessed that the purpose of the round table meeting to replace the imperial conference is nothing more than to disperse the power of the ministers.

But now Daenerys has actually recommended Jack for the position of Deputy Prime Minister. Doesn't that mean the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister will have to wear the same pants?

"Your Majesty, I do have a candidate, but..."

Dani smiled and said, "Tell me about it. I believe the Prime Minister's choice will not disappoint me."

"Then I feel relieved." Jack then turned his gaze towards the Meereen noble faction.

The sudden look made everyone nervous. Could it be that the deputy prime minister would be chosen from among them?

Especially Mantuo, his heartbeat began to speed up. Could it be possible? Could it be possible?

"Your Majesty, I think Mantuo Gru is quite capable, upright, and good at thinking. He is fully qualified for the position of deputy prime minister."

As soon as Jack finished speaking, the other ten nobles looked at Mantuo in shock. They knew that Mantuo had stayed in Jack's house for the longest time, but they didn't expect to get such benefits.

"Well, in that case, let Mando Gru serve as deputy prime minister."

Then Dany came to Mando and put the silver badge on Mando's chest.

"You were recommended by Zheng Xiang. I trust his judgment. Don't let me down."

"Your Majesty, I will definitely not let you down." Mantuo said excitedly.

Unexpectedly, he transformed from a small noble on the edge of power into a big man in the center of power in Meereen.

Deputy Prime Minister, you are above ten thousand people and below two people!

Jack smiled and nodded to Mantuo, "Congratulations, Master Mantuo, please bear with me in the future work."

"Thank you, Lord Zheng Xiang. I hope you can give me your guidance in my future work."

After some pleasantries, Dany announced the formation of a new Freemen's Corps and the recruitment of workers.

The task of recruiting soldiers was given to Grey Worm, and a total of 18,000 soldiers were recruited, divided into the Black Dragon Legion, the White Dragon Legion and the Green Dragon Legion.

"Grey Worm, I'll leave this matter to you. Recruit 20,000 people in total, then train and eliminate 2,000 of them, leaving 18,000 of the better ones."

"I understand, Your Majesty. But isn't a monthly salary of half a silver coin too high?" Grey Worm suggested.

Dany didn't say anything after hearing this, so Jack explained, "Not much. If you want them to fight for their lives, you have to pay them more. Half a silver coin is just the basic salary, and it will increase with the years of service."

In fact, it doesn't matter if we don't pay them military salaries. As long as they have enough food every day, people will come naturally.

But not all armies can maintain their combat effectiveness like the Unsullied even without money.

Jack referred to the Qin Dynasty's military merit system. As long as he killed the enemy, he could get promoted, make money, and receive extra military pay.

This can greatly enhance the army's training enthusiasm and combat effectiveness.

Seeing this, Grey Worm didn't say anything more. After all, Jack had obviously discussed this matter with Her Majesty the Queen.

Then there was the matter of work-for-relief, and Jack had to be personally responsible for that, after all, that was what the Prime Minister did.

"Also, regarding the management of Meereen, I have a plan, which is to divide Meereen into 13 special districts for management."

Dany then revealed the locations of the 13 special zones, which were roughly divided into the upper six zones and the lower five zones.

Jack then took out a piece of parchment and began to read out the list of governors of the 13 special districts.

The two most central areas are governed by Dany and Jack, namely District 1 and District 2.

The remaining eleven districts were unsurprisingly divided among 11 nobles, with Mando serving as the administrator of the third district.

Then Dany told some random things, and the first court meeting ended.

Until the end, Dany did not announce who would take up the positions of Chancellor of Finance and Minister of Intelligence, and it was obvious that she was planning to take charge of them herself.

Only the position of Minister of the Admiralty was given to Jack concurrently.

After everyone left, Mando immediately found Jack with his son Ivan.

"Prime Minister Poseidon, wait a moment, wait a moment."

Jack stopped and Mando quickly came up to him, "Prime Minister Poseidon, this is my son, Ivan Gru. I will trouble you from now on."

Mando is always thinking about making his son Jack's servant.

This would not only consolidate his relationship with Jack, but also allow his son to become a proton, allowing Jack to feel at ease with him.

What's more, Mando really believes that Ivan can learn something from Jack.
