Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web
#133 - God's Grace
“Your Majesty, I have completed my mission. The eastern half of the city has been completely cleared before sunset.”
Tyrion looked up at the hundred-foot-tall giant.
This was the "Throne Room" that only existed in the light screen. All the ministers were present, but the three regents were not.
Tyrion had many questions in his mind.
Like many others, Tyrion's mission on the light screen had also changed: "Holy Land Glory: Act II — Divine Grace."
Divine Grace. Tyrion pondered the true meaning of this word.
The previous "Washing Away Dust" had spanned half a month of operations across various departments, changed the entire King's Landing, and directly overturned the fate of tens of thousands of people.
"Divine Grace" then? How vast would it be?
“Very good.” Joffrey lowered his head and looked faintly at the few small people at his feet.
“Tonight’s meeting is to determine the next stage of arrangements. Under the main theme of Divine Grace, you each have significant responsibilities and must issue various tasks to your subordinates.”
Issuing tasks. This was what troubled Tyrion the most.
The number of prayer stones bestowed by Joffrey every day was gradually increasing, and the supply of divine grace cores had also multiplied many times over.
Now there were as many as fifty thousand "Divinely Favored Ones."
Courtiers, servants, soldiers—everyone Tyrion usually came into contact with was under the shroud of the divine grace light screen, and so were his subordinates in the Treasury.
Tyrion's daily work had thus become both convenient and trivial.
Want to obtain certain information or understand something?
Just contact the person in the know through the light screen. If you don't know the specific person, you can also post a request on the light screen and wait for the person in the know to respond, or the Statistics Bureau and Security Bureau may have the answer.
Want to talk to someone?
Just talk through the light screen. If you feel that the atmosphere is not right, you can also immediately call that person over through the light screen.
Want to assign someone to do something?
As Master of Coin, Tyrion had permission on the light screen to issue tasks to the vast majority of people, as long as it was reasonable and legal, and did not cause the Security Minister or His Majesty to question it.
With the light screen, even without leaving his house, he could manage government affairs perfectly, and the effect was even better than before.
His short legs were finally liberated.
But at the same time, Tyrion's rest time was also completely cut or occupied.
The light screen not only greatly improved the efficiency of the various departments but also exposed many problems that had always been hidden in the shadows.
Slacking, perfunctoriness, waste, corruption, abuse of power, malicious sabotage…
Tyrion had to deal with various reports and submissions on the light screen all day long, admonish his subordinates, and give rewards or punishments.
He also had to respond to his subordinates' lengthy requests and greetings, understand various trivial information and figures, and issue various tasks that he had never cared about before.
With the tentacles of the light screen, his power extended greatly downward, almost reaching everyone.
But at the same time, he also had to endure the bombardment of vast amounts of information, remember dazzling people and things, and deal with numerous and endless affairs.
The Treasury and the Mint, the Statistics Bureau, the Engineering Bureau, the City Watch.
Promotions and transfers, material bills, tax statistics, funding applications, project reports, the King's decree…
If all the affairs handled every day were turned into parchment and stacked up, Tyrion felt that it would be at least two of himself tall, no, three.
Under such circumstances.
He urgently needed to understand the true meaning of "Divine Grace," to see a clear path, so that he could issue tasks and handle government affairs in a regular manner according to this goal, and also be recognized by the King.
So, Tyrion cast an expectant gaze at Joffrey on high, waiting for the King's interpretation of "Divine Grace."
But as soon as Joffrey opened his mouth, his eyes looked at him, “How are the achievements of the various departments at present, and what are the difficulties? You should all make a summary, increase mutual understanding, and communicate information. Tyrion, you can start first.”
The expectation in Tyrion's eyes disappeared instantly.
The other ministers looked over one after another, and Tyrion could only sigh in his heart, and then began to report:
“The treasury currently has more than 1.5 million gold dragons in storage.
However, the purchase of military supplies, personnel salaries, and other expenses are increasing day by day, the tax revenue from ports and agents is gradually shrinking, and the Mint is short of raw materials. It is estimated that 100,000 gold dragons will flow out every month in the future.
The Statistics Bureau has 1,000 formal employees and more than 3,000 temporary workers.
A detailed list of industries and owners in various parts of King's Landing has been drawn up, and more than 600 material cost prices and selling prices have been successfully counted, maintaining the overall stability of commerce in the city, and a total of more than 100,000 gold dragons have been recovered in taxes and confiscations.
The Engineering Bureau has absorbed more than 20,000 people, and 150 Holy Art Sorcerers.
Now the sewers, streets, and ruins have been cleared and rebuilt, the river channels have been dredged, and the King's Landing aqueduct, well, and water pipe system has been completed, and more than 100,000 tons of stone, wood, and soil have been transported into the city.
All members of the City Watch obey orders, train strictly every day, and can be put into battle at any time.”
“As for the difficulties,” Tyrion hesitated for a moment, but still said his thoughts, “It is difficult to significantly improve the finances in the short term, but the expenditure is increasing. I think it is best to borrow again from Casterly Rock. The Lion and the Stag are one family after all.”
Joffrey remained noncommittal.
“Lord Tyrion has worked hard and achieved remarkable results, and I can't compare to him.” Security Minister Elywn Lantell took over the conversation.
“Since the Little Birds joined the Security Bureau, there are now 2,000 formal members in the Bureau, more than half of whom are experienced field personnel, scattered throughout the city, while others remain in the Red Keep to perform security work. It is estimated that there are more than 1,000 Little Birds scattered throughout the Seven Kingdoms and overseas.
In addition, 2,900 trainee members are receiving training from the Army Department.
To this day, the Security Bureau's vision has covered the entire King's Landing, identifying more than 500 spies and secret agents, and more than 1,000 rebellious and illegal people.
Outside King's Landing.
The Security Bureau has surveillance over all castles and fortresses in the Stormlands and the Reach, and the movements and intentions of the rebels are almost completely exposed.
Old Oak in the western Reach still has 30,000 troops stationed there, training every day.
But Earl Mace Tyrell has no intention of taking the initiative to attack, and has not responded to letters showing goodwill to us, and has not believed in the Divine Might of His Majesty in his words.
Highgarden has assembled 20,000 new troops and is stepping up training, which is expected to be completed in one month.
Although the 60,000 rebel troops at Bitterbridge in the eastern Reach have not moved, Earl Randyll Tarly has led a vanguard of 5,000 cavalry north to the south bank of the Blackwater Rush, clearing roads, intending to lure the Westerlands and King's Landing to attack.
As a result, traffic on the Gold Road has been cut off, and many lords in the mountains of the Westerlands have complaints and intend to encourage Lord Tywin to move east.
Lord Tywin has assembled 40,000 elites in Casterly Rock.
More than 20,000 people under Lord Kevan have departed from Harrenhal and are heading south, and are expected to arrive in King's Landing in ten days.
The Iron Islands and Dorne are still standing still.
In addition.”
Elywn announced the latest news: “The false king Renly has entered Bronzegate.”
