The Dharma God Of All Realms Begins With Harry Potter

Chapter 166 The New Ruler Of Pentos (1/4)

The process of capturing Pentos went extremely smoothly.

In fact, this is inevitable. The mere presence of Dragon scares everyone, and the Dothraki are the most powerful light cavalry. Without the protection of the city wall, there are almost no troops left. They will be their opponents on land.

If according to the nature of the Dothraki, after winning the war, they planned to burn, kill and loot the city. However, Ye Ting attacked Pentos not for killing and wealth, but for occupation and people. So before entering the city, Daenerys issued strict orders prohibiting the Dothraki from killing, kidnapping women, and plundering in the city.

Since they were a newly conquered army, the Dothraki people were eager to show their loyalty to Dany and their faith in the Dragon God, so most of them carried out the orders perfectly. Anyone who disobeyed was torn to pieces on the spot by the Dragon patrolling the sky. .

The citizens of "May 27" did not suffer much harm because of their entry into the city. Instead, many rebels and local gangsters took advantage of the chaos to rape, plunder and plunder. This time

It was the Dothraki who maintained order, which made the citizens of Pentos have a good impression of this strange army.

When Pentos was completely occupied, Daenerys issued her first order as the new master of the city - to gather all the citizens into the city square.

Such a gathering could easily be misinterpreted as the Dothraki wanting to beat them up, make them slaves or kill them all, but under the threat of swords and guns, the Pentos still came pushing and shoving with a sense of luck. The conquerors were waiting in the square of the city.

In the square where citizens gather. As usual, Ye Ting transformed from the image of a dragon into a human being, and then showed some of his miracles to the citizens.

In Pentos, beliefs are free and chaotic, from the Seven Gods of Westeros to R'hllor, the most widely believed, to the old woman's favorite weeping woman, the night lion favored by merchants, and the poor people's worship. The horse god worshiped by the Hooded Walkers and the Dothraki. However, the churches of these gods have not performed any miracles for a long time. The only way to maintain their faith is to pretend to be gods and ghosts. However, under the real miracles and the threats of Dragon and guns, most of the citizens immediately expressed their new support for them. of divine belief.

Indeed, in this ignorant medieval world. What could be more touching than creating a real miracle?

Now that the Dragon God has been recognized, everything is easy. Daenerys was subsequently confirmed as the ruler. She promulgated a series of new measures and laws in front of the citizens, and reduced some taxes. This was immediately welcomed by most citizens.

Subsequently, Daenerys announced what to do with the soldiers guarding the city and the original rulers, the governors. Most of the soldiers and governor were pardoned. Only the leader Jie was sentenced to death for resisting the Dragon God's army. The remaining governors were fined.

Now everyone is happy. The citizens were not treated cruelly, and their lives could still go on, and maybe they would get better. Most of the governors saved their lives

In front of the brutal Dothraki. What does losing some gold mean? That's what they did in the past - no, in the past, the Dothraki didn't even care about the city and the governors would naturally give it to them with gold and all kinds of wealth.

Unfortunately, during the subsequent banquet to receive the new city lord and the divine envoy, these governors discovered that this strange group of Dothraki and their leader really wanted to rule the city for a long time. Instead of evacuating immediately after gaining enough benefits like the Dothraki in the past.

In fact, it started with the first order given by Daenerys after entering the city. She has been working hard to maintain peace and stability in the city. Whether it is giving up murder and arson and switching to maintaining order; or reducing taxes instead of imposing excessive taxes. This can be easily seen from these commands.

But history doesn't really lower taxes. He only lowered the tax rates for ordinary citizens and craftsmen. But it has improved. A tax on all merchants. and required them to pay taxes only in gold and silver.

Such an order was indeed the first of its kind for the Free Trade City.

In trading city-states, most of the lucrative businesses were in the hands of governors. These governors were originally big businessmen. They gained power because of their wealth and maintained their wealth through power. Now, Daenerys arrives. As a result, they lost most of their rights, and now, she is going to attack their wealth.

But this is indeed of great benefit, because after all, the businessmen in the city are only a minority, but they occupy most of the wealth. Through such measures, the tax revenue Daenerys can receive is only higher than the previous tax revenue from the trading city-state. But she only offended a very small number of people, and the vast majority of civilians cheered for her...

But will Daenerys, who has mastered the army, be afraid of these few merchants?

Originally, these governors and big businessmen expected Daenerys to compromise with them, because they were the bosses in the city. They feel that Daenerys needs them to rule because her men are a group of reckless men who only know how to fight and kill, and Daenerys herself is only a thirteen-year-old girl who knows nothing about economics and politics. Without them, Daenerys might not even be able to pay a single gold coin in taxes.

However, a few days later they discovered that they were wrong.

On the one hand, Daenerys reused and supported some of their merchants who had smaller businesses and lower rankings. When these merchants found something profitable, they immediately abandoned their original allies and took refuge with the new master. This allowed Daenerys' rule to find an entry point and be able to fully understand the situation in Pentos.

On the other hand, Daenerys began to select people who could write, calculate, and have certain ideas and prestige among citizens, craftsmen, and free people as grassroots officials.

Although these people's families are not rich and their selfishness will not be small after becoming officials, they are very good at checking and balancing the power of businessmen.

In addition, Daenerys herself also possesses great natural leadership qualities. She has never forgotten her miserable childhood, which makes her more compassionate than other rulers. She has implemented what she considers as the "justice" and "Fairness 3.0" governance policies throughout the whole process, and has personally visited the people more than once. , describe and explain one's policies to civilians and ordinary soldiers, and prevent some unfair things from happening.

Although she lacks governance experience, it is obvious that Daenerys has learned enough ruling methods from Ye Ting. The 5,000-year history of the earth is his treasure house.

In the past few days, she spent every night with Ye Ting, frantically learning all kinds of knowledge about business, agriculture, economics, politics, religion, etc. from him, and after finishing studying, she arranged the night for him. lonely.

Although today's Daenerys still has some naive and immature shortcomings in politics, she can indeed be said to be quite skillful. But she is not worried about her lack of experience, because she still has Ye Ting standing behind her. Even if she makes any mistakes, Ye Ting can make up for it with absolute strength. .
