Chapter 103 The King's Drawing Paper

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with so many people?"

Tyrion asked earnestly.

After a busy day yesterday, with the joint efforts of [-] soldiers and thousands of monks, nuns, and clerks, the investigation of King's Landing City has achieved great success.

So far, a total of 52 people have been registered.

Nearly 3 of them were temporarily imprisoned for various reasons, more than 1000 rebels went to hell, and 31 soldiers returned to heaven.

These have all been reported in the first half of the imperial meeting just now.

How should we wrap it up next?

All the ministers looked quietly at His Majesty the King at the end of the long table.

Joffrey fixed his gaze on the model of King's Landing on the long table in front of him, "Tyrion, what is the total area of ​​the confiscated properties and plots? Adding what the royal family originally had, does it account for half of King's Landing? "

Tyrion was taken aback for a moment, then quickly calculated in his brain.

According to the latest calculations by the Research Department, using the newly stipulated unit of measurement, the total area of ​​Junlin City is about 71 square kilometers.

如今收缴了300多座妓院、600多处酒馆旅馆、800多间商铺、1000多间仓库、3000多处住宅、几乎整个跳蚤窝，再算上王室和兰尼斯特原有的产业、街道、广场、空地、废墟。

"Well, about half and half. Your Majesty, there are still half a million people in King's Landing." Tyrion didn't understand what Joffrey meant.

Isn't the king satisfied?

Yesterday's actions had left Tyrion sleepless with shock and worry.

He thought that his attack would be straightforward enough, but who knew that other teams were even more ruthless.Those team leaders, small captains, and clerks only had the king's orders in their eyes, completely ignoring the appeals of the major forces.

Last night, Tyrion was holding the thick account book, his hands were shaking.

The king's minions are too capable.All properties and contracts with unclear ownership were annulled, all wealth and supplies of unknown origin were confiscated, and all persons of dubious origin or idleness were arrested.

From the dense text, Tyrion clearly saw the shadow industries, contact points and spokespersons of many families.

So reckless, so proud.

Tyrion is well aware that King's Landing has never belonged to any one man or any family.

Long before the Baratheon family settled in the Red Keep, the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms and even across the Narrow Sea had taken root in King's Landing, controlling many properties and recruiting people overtly and secretly.

Countless powerful forces have jointly woven a complicated and tight net in King's Landing City.

Of course, the newly forged [-] swords can cut everything with force.But what about the areas where the sword can't touch?What about outside King's Landing?

What about the business in Junlin City?
Once the supplies from the ports and roads are insufficient, how will the city function?

Tyrion stared blankly at the king's peaceful face, his chest weighed down like a great block of granite.Joffrey, what are you thinking?
Joffrey's idea was simple, "Then keep cleaning until half of King's Landing is cleaned."

Pointing to the model of King's Landing on the long table, Joffrey drew a stroke from the middle, "East of the central square, this half of the city must be emptied, and by the will of the gods, I will paint here, and draw a clean and brand new holy city." city."

All eyes of the ministers are on the exquisite city model.

The king's voice was still steady, "Everyone who participated in the investigation yesterday was rewarded with a silver stag. Rest today, and continue the investigation from tomorrow. One hundred grids will be blocked every day. The soldiers will be divided into two groups and dispatched in turn. Lin led the team."

Erin took the command respectfully.

Tyrion did not want to hear his own name.There are more than 1 people every day, and only one-eighth of the city is investigated, and many people must be thoroughly offended.

The king knocked on the table, "Tyrion is in charge, regardless of property replacement, redemption, etc., I just want a blank and clean eastern half of the city. Before that, the gates of the city will continue to be blocked, except for fishermen, farmers, and shopkeepers who supply supplies in the city." , coachmen, etc., allowed in and not out."

Tyrion heard what the king meant.

It turned out that Joffrey was not so greedy that he could only get in and out.I can exchange the properties of the west city and the golden dragon for the east city. Although it is still difficult, it is easier to accept than just snatching it with a sword.

"Tyrion?" the king looked over, smiling. "What do you think? Any trouble?"

"As you will." Tyrion bowed.

Joffrey looked around at the crowd, "In order to transform King's Landing into a holy city favored by the gods, not only the people, we must also welcome changes."

All the ministers immediately sat upright, waiting for the king's order.

Joffrey first looked at the old grand maester Pycelle, "The maesters and apprentices under the State Teacher should also have a formal name, and they can't keep being vague like this. We can't let them just silently contribute to the kingdom. .”

"Your Majesty misses you so much, it's really, really touching." The Grand Maester wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes excitedly.

Joffrey smiled slightly, "Ministry of Education. Educating the world for the gods, driving away ignorance, and disseminating knowledge should be the affiliation and vocation of the bachelors. Please make a record as soon as possible, and make sure no one is missed."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that it will be completed within half a month." The Grand Bachelor vowed.

Joffrey turned to Tyrion. "I know that your task is difficult. Finances and accounting are not easy. What's the difficulty? Just mention it."

Tyrion was not so naive, "As Your Majesty bids."

Joffrey pondered for a moment, then looked at the proud Kingslayer, "Sir James, the Ministry of Finance shoulders a heavy mission and undoubtedly needs a stronger force. Four thousand new recruits will be allocated to form an 'investigation team', which will be placed under the Ministry of Finance. .”

Secretary of War James glanced at his short brother out of the corner of his eye, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Joffrey looked at Erin again, "You and Tyrion have a good communication, and you can clearly distinguish the people under your command. The little bird and the recruits assigned to you are all under the name of the Security Bureau. Tyrion's people are The 'Kingdom Statistical Office' under the Ministry of Finance."

"Don't call him Chief Intelligence Officer." Joffrey gave Erin an encouraging look, "Just call him Minister of Security, who manages the Security Department."

Erin bowed excitedly to accept the order, "Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty!"

Tyrion watched quietly. In just a short while, he had 4000 more people under his command, as well as the brand-new name of the investigation team and the Kingdom Statistics Bureau.

"Ser Barristan," Joffrey said, looking at the high-spirited Captain of the Kingsguard, "to this day, Aegon II died of poisoned wine, the mad king Aerys died of swords, and his father was attacked by wild beasts." , don’t you think the Iron Guard’s strength is too weak?”

The face of James the Kingslayer immediately turned cold.

Barristan Selmy knelt down on one knee in shame, "I can't justify myself, please punish me!"

Joffrey got up and helped Barristan up. "I have no intention of it. It's just that seven Iron Guards are not enough to deal with the threat. From today, the Kingsguard will be 77 people. You are still the captain. The guards are in charge of a team and take turns guarding."

"Captain Barristan, do you agree?"

The king used the death of previous kings as an example, what else could Barristan say, "Follow your will."

Joffrey looked at Tyrion again, "As for the 3 people locked up."
