Chapter 104 Castle Game
"When the next round of investigations is over, the number of people is expected to exceed 3."

Among them, more than 2 people are helpless and their livelihood is uncertain, and the other thousands live in crimes, and thousands of unlucky people with suspicious origins. This is a very considerable human resource.

Joffrey had already made plans.

"Sir James, the War Office can select 5000 of them to fill the ranks of recruits."

Select [-] people who are most suitable for combat, mix them into [-] recruits, and go through honing, the final result can only be completely assimilated.

After all, they have no choice.

"Elin, you select another 5000 people to act as eyes and ears, and also receive training for recruits, and then add them to the Security Bureau and Statistics Bureau."

Didn't the little bird once fly out of these people?

"Hannah, you will take the lead in setting up the Logistics Bureau, responsible for ensuring the material expenses of various departments and the army. Select 1 people, use the stupid ones as labor, and gradually promote the smart ones, let them learn to read, count, and increase their knowledge, until Become a qualified logistics officer."

For these 1 people, logistics officers are already the best way out.If they still have a sliver of sanity and hope for the future, they should stop feeling resentful.

"Tyrion, I will give you 1 people to form an engineering bureau. Starting in August, not only the sewers, but the entire King's Landing will change drastically, especially the East City." Joffrey has already planned many factories and facilities.

"The rest will be handed over to the Dungeon and Research Department, just as they also need people."

"how?"

Joffrey smiled lightly, satisfied with his thoughtful arrangements.

Tyrion said similar compliments to his colleagues, but he kept thinking about the logistics bureau and engineering bureau that the king had lightly mentioned in his words.

Zhangkou is a new department with tens of thousands of people, throwing down a large amount of power and also throwing out heavy tasks.

What a 12-year-old king who is out of his mind.

Tyrion couldn't help recalling carefully that in just one month, Joffrey first pursued taxes from the Seven Kingdoms, preached miracles, and then made great changes. The Ministry of War, Research, Security, and Evangelism...

Distribute divine grace, search the whole city, and arrest 3 people. It seems that these people have been arranged for a long time ago.

Tyrion was watching from the sidelines, and he felt that Joffrey regarded King's Landing and even the Seven Kingdoms as a game, while the king himself happily piled up his favorite yellow sand castle on the beach, smiling like a child.

In fact, the king was indeed a child.And who doesn't have a child who can't grow up in his heart?

But no one can control the king's every move.Cersei's toughness and arrogance did not exist in front of Joffrey at all, and Ed could only persuade a few words lightly when he was in the Red Castle, let alone return to the north now.

And the noble and proud Lord Tywin Lannister just silently watched the king act recklessly.

In fact, it is no wonder that the king is a disobedient child, but he is also the messenger of the gods who has unimaginable power.Possessing magical powers like divine grace, who dares to say that he is not an angel?
Face to face against the king favored by the gods, anyone should think carefully to see if they can bear the wrath of the gods.

Besides, Lord Tywin is still the Regent and Minister of Justice, his younger brother is the Minister of the Sea, the eldest son has become the Minister of War, and will rule the land forces of the Iron Throne, and his daughter is still the Queen Mother Regent.

Even his unloved youngest son is also the Minister of Finance of the Imperial Council.

Thinking about it this way, the aloof Duke Tywin is simply the most powerful person in the Seven Kingdoms. Why did he reject the young king?
So, even Duke Tywin is like this, could it be that such drastic changes in King's Landing City will be accepted by people?Even if the king rudely snatched half of King's Landing, and played with tens of thousands or 10 people at will?

Is that really the case?
Tyrion pondered a lot, and gradually began to doubt himself.Maybe I'm too pessimistic?
Cough cough, Joffrey put away his smile, "I've finished all the good things, it's time to discuss the difficulties we must face. Tyrion, let's start with you."

ah?Tyrion looked up at the king in bewilderment.

Joffrey asked with a serious face, "How many golden dragons are there in the treasury? How much armor? How much food? How long is it enough to consume?"

Tyrion's brain has turned back, "Counting the addition yesterday, the treasury has more than 170 million gold dragons, ordnance can equip 4000 infantry, and there are more than [-] war horses, about [-] pack horses and livestock. Enough to consume the whole city for a year."

Among them, Littlefinger and Varys contributed a large part.

Joffrey summed it up for him, "War together, all aspects can only last for a year, right?"

Tyrion could only nod gravely.

The expressions of all the ministers became solemn, no one could not understand how serious the situation was.

One year is not short, but it is by no means sufficient.Who knows when the flames of war will be extinguished. After Renly, the Seven Kingdoms may not be stable in an instant.

One or two years?Three to five years?It's all possible.

In case the gold dragons and supplies replenished during this period are not enough to support consumption, and when various reserves fall to the bottom line, and there are debts and rebellion to press, it will really be enough to overwhelm the country.

Joffrey turned to Erin, "How about the supplies that have entered the city recently? Tell your lords about it."

Erin moved the light curtain mentally and called up the detailed data, "The catches brought into the city by the fishermen by the river and the port are relatively stable, and the supply of vegetables, barley, wheat, etc. from the farmers outside the city has not decreased. Feed 10 people."

"The food brought in by the royal families has gradually decreased. It has been reduced to 30% of what it was at the end of June the day before yesterday, and it can only supply the needs of [-] people."

"The supplies in the Stormlands and Riverbends in the south are almost cut off. Only a few small traders have entered the city, which is negligible. The Golden Road in the west is also threatened by the southern rebels, and the convoys are pitifully small."

"Fortunately, the food delivered from the riverlands and valleys barely satisfies the rest of the population in the city."

"However," Erin said in a low tone, "if this continues, within a month, there will be tens of thousands of hungry people in King's Landing, and the price of bread will increase wildly, unless we start releasing the food stored in the Red Castle."

The grain stored in the warehouse must not be touched easily. It is the greatest confidence and confidence in the long-term war.

Tyrion suggested, "How about inviting food ships from Essos? At least the sea lanes and the Blackwater Bay remain open."

It has always been Westeros that sells food to the East, but now it is going to be reversed.

Joffrey decided to consider a solution nearby. "Essos is too far away, and the sea conditions are unstable. It is difficult to provide a stable supply, and it must be expensive. It is safest to transport grain from the royal land and the river."

He looked at James the Kingslayer, "Why do the families in the royal land reduce their food supply? Sir James, please write a few letters to inquire."

Jaime understood the king's subtext.If not, the recruits should go out of the city for a few laps.

Joffrey said indifferently: "Everyone, Renly's rebels will attack us in September, and there is still a month to go."

"Combine King's Landing and the king's territory well, and take the first step in the construction of the holy city. Renly is nothing to be afraid of!"

Joffrey watched King's Landing on the table.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone responded firmly at the same time.
