Chapter 1245: Into the City

At dusk, stalls appear on the main streets of Tokyo, with rosters that have been copied from the Tokyo prefectural government.

The gong sounded, and the cavalry walked around the streets shouting, and registered according to the area where they lived, and each person was given five hundred, regardless of men, women, and children, and outsiders went to the gate of the inner city to register.

The people were hiding in their homes and shivering, and they waited in fear, praying that the slaughter would not reach them.

But the city was quiet, there were no riots or massacres at all, only shouts of registration and payment were waiting for them.

At first, the people didn't believe in such good things, they only paid taxes and money in various names in their lives, when will the government give them money?

The shouts and gongs were always there, and at last someone mustered up the courage to open the door, these were really destitute families, with almost no overnight food at home, and five hundred dollars per head, a temptation they could not refuse.

As the first people registered the change, the news spread quickly, and the people were no longer afraid, and they went out with their families to register and receive the money.

When the merchants who do business see it, they are not afraid of anything, the change of dynasty has nothing to do with them, anyway, someone else is the emperor, who is not kneeling?

But this city is not good to say that it will be closed for several days, and the people have money, and they will definitely buy it on a large scale, so their merchants should open the door to make money, and at this time, the money will be earned by others if the door opens late.

However, merchants were told to balance prices, and everything should be sold at normal prices.

And such necessities as grain and salt, Qi has already opened special stalls to sell at a low price.

"How? Look, isn't it lively again? ”

Sun Lei pointed to the early lanterns, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians, and the scene of vendors shouting and inviting them to sell appeared again.

"It's amazing, admire!"

Li Gang bowed his hand to Sun Lei convincingly, he was really convinced, Sun Lei understood people's hearts.

"Haha, the so-called bustle of the world is all for profit; The soil in the world is all for profit. After all, people have to eat to live! ”

Sun Lei said with a smile.

The population was counted very quickly, Sun Lei led people to the gate of the inner city, and the list had been counted, only the people who were stranded in the city from other places were registered, but they had to enter the inner city after registering and registering, and they could only leave the city after all the statistics were completed.

"Your Majesty, the population count is almost over, and now there is only one person from other places who has not been counted!"

Shi Qian handed over a roster.

"Li Gang, you are staying in Tokyo, you should know how many people there are in Tokyo, right?"

Sun Lei smiled and asked Li Gang.

This sentence can stop Li Gang, as a left-behind guard in Tokyo, he naturally wants to know the population, but he doesn't know what Sun Lei means.

"More than a million people!"

Li Gang finally replied.

"Haha, millions? The list says there are only 891,711 natives in Tokyo. ”

Sun Lei raised the roster in his hand.

"There are always people who dare not go out!"

Li Gang opened his mouth and said, he didn't believe that everyone opened the door to register, not to mention the current "war and chaos", even in the peaceful and prosperous times, there will be people who will not come to register.

"You're not right, I'm not counting each household individually, I'm making Tokyo a grid, twenty households as a group, asking questions in a unified manner, and making sure that the people around are counted, this Tokyo local population is only so much, and it's just self-deception to have a million."

Sun Lei said.

"You didn't give that order!"

Li Gang's face changed, Tokyo has been a little chaotic in the past two years, and there are not a few people who have left their hometowns, but he didn't expect that there would be so many fewer people in Tokyo, you must know that Tokyo had a population of more than 1.5 million in its heyday, and it was the real first city in the world.

"Do you want me to talk about such a thing in detail? So what have I become? All I want is the result, they are the ones who do the work. ”

Sun Lei looked at Li Gang with a smile and asked.

These words made Li Gang and the others stunned, and they only understood what Sun Lei meant at this time, Sun Lei just wanted the result, as for the way, it was up to the people under him to think of it, and it was not what the superior should do to think of a way in every detail.

It's just that Li Gang and the others didn't expect that such a perfect method would be thought up by Sun Lei's subordinates after receiving the order.

Sun Lei took everyone into the inner city, and the inner city at this time has become a sea of lanterns, especially the Royal Street, which is full of lanterns and pedestrians, all looking at the colorful lanterns on the street.

When the people on the street saw Sun Lei coming, they all knelt on the ground and bowed, shouting long live.

"Today is the Lantern Festival, I'm sorry to disturb the old folks, but now it's okay, everything is as usual, in order to make tonight's lantern festival more lively, today's lanterns in the inner city have lantern riddles, and those who guess can go to receive a small gift, which is also a little bit of my heart."

Sun Lei looked at the kneeling people and said with a smile, since you want to invite people to buy people's hearts, let's do it thoroughly,

"Hooray!"

The people shouted with joy that the people of Tokyo had already seen the generosity of the new emperor, and that the emperor's small favor was nectar from heaven for them.

Sun Lei led people to the gate of the imperial city amid the chanting of long live.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Xiao Jiasui and Chai Jin led people to greet Sun Lei at the gate of the palace.

The palace was also brightly lit at this time, and Chai Jin took out all the decorations in the palace treasury.

"What? Don't go in again? ”

Sun Lei looked at Li Gang and the others who did not move, and asked.

"We are the ministers of the dead country, the losers, and we are not qualified to drink with the victors!"

The Planter Dao said.

"Since you are a loser, you have no choice, you have to be a qualified loser! Don't spoil my fun! ”

Sun Lei looked at the Seed Master Dao and the others and said, there was a hint of coldness in his words, and this trace of coldness made the Seed Master Dao, a fierce general on the battlefield, feel a chill down his spine unconsciously.

Everyone swallowed their saliva, at this moment they finally knew how terrible Sun Lei was, so far Sun Lei has not killed anyone, but it doesn't mean that Sun Lei can't kill people, Sun Lei just wants to slaughter the city, and those soldiers will obey the order.

"Just know how to be obedient!"

Seeing that no one was speaking, Sun Lei laughed again, and looked at the palace again.

"Don't be so exaggerated!"

Sun Lei looked at the palace at this time, the entire palace floor was covered with blankets, lanterns were hung all over the place, and all kinds of exquisite ornaments were also placed on the side of the road.

"Your Majesty, tonight is the Lantern Festival Night Banquet, so naturally it should be more luxurious!"

Chai Jin said with a smile.

"Then go in and see!"

Sun Lei knew that this must have been arranged by Chai Jin, and he was also very curious about what kind of extravagant banquet Chai Jin would prepare.

The whole square of Daqing Hall is full of tables and chairs, just like the Liangshan feast.

"Haha, yes, the location is enough!"

Sun Lei looked at those positions and nodded with satisfaction, he didn't care how extravagant he was, but the brothers' seats must be enough.

"Brother, don't worry, you can also have a banquet on both sides!"

Chai Jin said with a smile.
