Game of Thrones: Overlord of the Deep Sea

Chapter 83 Centralization
Jack looked carefully at the work reports submitted by the housekeepers appointed by Newgate, and found that these housekeepers were easier to use than the scholar-bureaucrats of the Celestial Dynasty.

Even high-level slaves who were born as teachers, after adapting to the job content, their governance ability surpassed that of a housekeeper.

These high-level slave-born teachers are essentially the same as Westeros' bachelors, reading and writing are only the most basic.

Astronomy, geography, history, politics, and even swordsmanship are all covered by this group of teachers.

In this regard, the university scholars and the group of teachers under Jack are undoubtedly ahead of the scholar-bureaucrat class in the Chinese dynasty, and governing the country is naturally a no-brainer.

That being the case, Jack had to choose between the enfeoffment system and the centralized feudal system. It was impossible to go directly to the modern or even the modern system, and the productivity and people's wisdom could not keep up.

The first is the enfeoffment system, which is used to enfeoff princes to build a country.

But as time goes by, the royal family will have no place to seal, and if you don't pay attention, it will easily make the local princes bigger and stronger, leading to the fall of imperial power and melee among the princes.

The centralized feudal system also has shortcomings, the biggest one being land annexation and fatuous lords.

In the ancient times of the Celestial Dynasty, the lifespan of a basically unified dynasty would not exceed 300 years.

In the late dynasty, the dignitaries will use various means to plunder the most important means of production in ancient times - land!

And as the climate changes, once it enters a cold climate period, there will be a large number of refugees without land.

Under such circumstances, unless the Lord of ZTE appears, even a wise king cannot save the feudal dynasty.

After figuring this out, Jack also had a decision in his mind. Since any system has shortcomings, he should simply learn from the first emperor's county system and strengthen the centralization of power.

At least Jack is confident that he can control a centralized feudal dynasty.

As for how his own descendants will govern and develop Atlantis in later generations, that is beyond his control as the founding emperor.

I only hope that in the history books of Atlantis, the founding emperor Jack Poseidon is recorded as an eternal king and eternal emperor.

In modern times, archaeologists and historians praise his glorious deeds every day.

So Jack was content.

Jack suddenly felt that he had a clear idea. This problem that had plagued him since the establishment of Atlantis finally got what he thought was the most perfect solution.

"Newgate!" Jack suddenly roared, startling the two people beside him.

Especially the Kraxhu under Jack's feet, it widened its small eyes, as if saying:
"Crazy, why are you yelling so loudly?"

Although Newgate was taken aback, he quickly reacted and said quickly, "Your Majesty, I am here."

"Command, let's hold a big banquet tonight. I will treat the guests. I will take out all the stored meat and wine, and invite every Atlantean people to have a delicious meal."

"By the way, don't take out the Sea God Brew, it's too expensive."

Newgate: "."

Although he didn't know what happened to Jack's nerves again, Newgate went to arrange the banquet anyway.

Now there are thirty-one thousand people in Atlantis, and the cost of the banquet is not low.

Soon the news of His Majesty the Sea Emperor's feast on Sea King Island spread throughout the island, and countless people cheered.

You must know that when the Sea Emperor Palace was established, Newgate prohibited anyone except craftsmen from approaching it.

Everyone couldn't help feeling that His Majesty's magnanimity was really not comparable to that of Newgate, an iron rooster.

Ashley was one of the carnival crowd.

Neptune Island does not restrict itself from doing business.

Taking advantage of the rapid development of Neptune Island, she directly opened a tailor shop.

As her clothes-making skills became more and more sophisticated, the business naturally became more and more prosperous.

Ashley got off the bed and began to look for clothes, looking at her husband who was still unsatisfied and urged:

"Mark, get up and get dressed, we're going to the Sea Emperor's Palace to attend the Sea Emperor's banquet later."

"What's the hurry, the banquet doesn't start until seven o'clock, it's only four o'clock now, there are still three hours left."

Atlantis has a detailed 24-hour time division.

Jack made the division by referring to the ice and fire world and the time measurement method of his previous life. During the long summer period, it would be dawn at four or five o'clock in the morning, and it would not be dark until eight o'clock in the evening.

It may not be as accurate as Jack's previous life, but as long as the time is unified, it is accurate and it can provide convenience for daily life and work.

Ashley rolled her eyes, "Hehe, you've been so tired in just ten minutes? If you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, you can't do it. How can you have ten children?"

"!!!"

Mark immediately jumped up from the bed, "Who do you say can't do it?"

Mark stepped forward and picked Ashley up, and then threw her directly on the bed.

"Oh, what are you doing?"

"Let you know if I can do it!"

Twenty minutes later, Ashley put on the dress she made with a rosy face.

Mark, on the other hand, put on his clothes slowly. He looked quite handsome, but his expression looked a little sluggish.

"Let's go, let's take some front row seats first. It is said that the seats for this banquet are first come, first served."

After speaking, she pulled Mark into the carriage, which was bought with the first pot of gold she earned.

In Neptune City, as long as you have money, you can get what you want in the dock market, such as a carriage.

It's just that you need to register to buy a carriage, and then you need to pay an extra 20 copper coins for the monthly property cleaning fee.

Otherwise, you have to find someone to follow the carriage to remove the excrement all the way.

All roads on Neptune Island are paved with cement, flat and wide.

Mark drove the carriage to the Sea Emperor Palace. When he was approaching the Sea Emperor Palace, he was surrounded by endless wheat fields.

Neptune City occupies half of Neptune Island in the design, and Neptune Palace is located in the center of Neptune City, next to the No. [-] grain production base.

The No. 49 grain production base is Newgate, considering that if Haiwang City is surrounded by the enemy in the future, it can still rely on the [-] mu of fertile land to maintain consumption.

The rest of the other grain bases will be built outside Neptune City.

The entire Neptune Island covers an area of ​​11000 square kilometers, and Neptune City covers an area of ​​5000 square kilometers.

The remaining 6000 square kilometers, of which 4000 square kilometers need to create 600 million mu of fertile land to grow food.

The remaining 2000 square kilometers will be turned into 300 million mu of pastures for breeding.

Everyone in Neptune Island knows about these plans, because 3% of the planned fertile land and grass will be sold to individuals.

Mark took a 30-year loan from the Imperial Bank and bought [-] acres of fertile land and [-] acres of pasture.

And Mark is also one of the few people who borrow money to buy land, and more people are still on the sidelines.

After all, they are still not at ease about things like government loans, and they always feel that there are tricks.
