Chapter 509: 509 Chang'an
Chapter 509 509 Chang'an
“The Prime Minister will understand your great efforts.” Nangong Hong said to Tang Mo, looking at the door that closed after Roger left.
Tang Mo held the cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath, then exhaled a cloud of white mist, and closed his eyes slightly: "He will definitely support me, no matter what I do."
Looking at Tang Mo who was full of confidence, Nangong Hong was even a little envious. He had read through the history books and had never seen a monarch and his ministers trust each other to such an extent.
A few days ago, Tang Mo finally decided to rename the original royal city of Zheng State to Chang'an. He hesitated on this name for a long time, and finally gave up on the "Western name" and followed the naming habits of the locals and renamed the royal city to Chang'an.
It means long-term peace and stability, but it is as beautiful and solemn as the name of the ancient capital that Tang Mo is familiar with. And this renamed city will become the new capital of the Tang Kingdom.
Originally, many of the old people who followed Tang Mo hoped to set the capital of the kingdom in Dragon City, because after all, Long Island is the most thoroughly industrialized area in the Tang Kingdom.
However, after considering a series of issues, Tang Mo decided to make Chang'an the capital, and then upgraded Longcheng to a companion capital.
The Dragon's Nest in Dragon City was designated as a palace. The Tang Kingdom would build a royal palace in Chang'an as Tang Mo's new home. This huge castle, which combined both Eastern and Western styles, was temporarily named Dragon's Nest.
The new imperial city of Chang'an is undergoing modernization. It will not only build the world's most modern power supply system and water supply and drainage system, but also build the world's first subway.
At the same time, Chang'an Railway Station will also be built into the largest and most luxurious railway station in the world. At the same time, Chang'an will also build the world's first civil airport!
No matter which aspect you look at, the construction scale of Chang'an will be the largest in the world. According to the plan, the population here may exceed 10 million in the future!
Roger went to Chang'an to take charge of the work. Tang Mo's princess You Lin was sitting in Linshui. Parker had been ordered to go to Copper City. Redman and Tiger, his two confidants, were also there.
Just from the distribution of management personnel, the focus of the Tang Kingdom has also shifted to the western continent, but Tang Mo is still sitting on Long Island to preside over the overall stability of the eastern region.
Putting such a "I won't look back" attitude, the Tang Kingdom made several surrounding countries feel relieved.
Countries that have begun to emerge from the war are revitalizing their economies, and countries that are still busy fighting are also breathing a sigh of relief.
The special envoy sent by the Lions Empire to Bunas was finally disappointed. His request for tanks from the Datang Group was rejected.
The reason given by the other party is very good: the orders for purchasing tanks from the Nanla Empire and the Kingdom of Susas were signed ten days ago, and there are three kingdoms of Galais, Pinewood and Poplar in line behind them!
The possibility of buying spot goods directly has been infinitely close to zero, and the fastest delivery time will have to wait until three months or even five months later.
Of course, the Lions Empire was not satisfied with this delivery time, because they were in a hurry and wanted to use tanks to raid the Kingdom of Dorne before buying the goods.
The reality is very cruel. Even if they pay the money now, the war will probably be over by the time they get the tank.
The envoys from the Kingdom of Dorne also arrived in Bunas at about the same time. They also wanted to purchase a batch of tanks to fight against Goblins and Lions.
As a result, they received similar answers: It was impossible to get tanks in stock, and the fastest delivery time would be almost five months later.
Of course the Dornish envoy was unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it. Then he found out the good news: the Lions Empire didn't buy the tank it wanted either.
After struggling for a while and finding that there was nothing to struggle with, both countries became honest.
Under pressure, the Lines Empire finally chose to accept the armistice plan proposed by the Tang Kingdom. The Lions Empire shook hands with the Kingdom of Dorne and made peace with the Kingdom of Dorne, and also made a truce with the Nanla Empire.
At this point, the civil war between the Trade Alliance has completely ended. Except for the war between Dorne and Goblins that continues, peace seems to have been restored to the entire Eastern Continent.
…
"Mr. Liu has been a very busy man recently." Outside Chang'an City, in a factory, the man came with a smile on his face, took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth.
The man known as Mr. Liu laughed heartily, with a proud look that even Zang couldn't hide. It can be said that he has been really lucky recently, and he can't stop laughing even in his dreams.
Since accepting the conditions of Datang Group, his business has really flourished, and it is no different from printing money. His factory was producing non-stop day and night, and the parts produced simply could not meet the orders. It seems that no matter how many parts he produces, he can sell none of them.
A month ago, he just built a new factory. The factory was put into operation a few days ago. He originally thought it could meet production needs. However, orders have doubled in recent days!
This is no joke, that is a full doubling of orders! He never dreamed that one day the things he produced would actually be in short supply!
Now he recruits workers regardless of gender. As long as they have a diploma issued by Datang Education Group, he will recruit both men and women!
In fact, like him, there are really many factories that have begun to employ female workers, especially textile factories, which are almost dominated by female workers.
Now Mr. Liu truly understands what it means to be a capitalist: female workers earn cheaper wages, and labor-intensive factories are naturally more willing to recruit female workers.
To be honest, if it weren't for the higher technical requirements of his own factory, the hastily trained female workers would not be qualified. He would also like to recruit more female workers to solve his labor shortage problem.
"You made a lot of money, right?" The visitor was smoking a cigarette and said to Mr. Liu with a smile: "I heard that you recently took a concubine? You are really capable of killing a 16-year-old girl."
"Where is it...Isn't this the call of the city hall, to have more children?" The man known as Mr. Liu suppressed his smile, because he could feel that the young man in front of him seemed to have bad intentions.
"I'm not here because of your concubinage issue. That's a matter for the Civil Affairs Bureau's Investigation Division." The young man sneered, took another puff of cigarette and said, "I'm here because of the tax issue."
Hearing the word tax mentioned, Mr. Liu's expression changed slightly, and then he put on a smile and explained: "Don't worry, Sir, I, Mr. Liu, am doing something..."
"It's useless for you to tell me this." The young man waved his hand and interrupted Mr. Liu: "You and I are just friends. I am here as a city official to remind my friends that tax evasion is very serious. Xiao, if you really go to the tax collector and go through the procedures, I'm afraid that all your wealth will become a thing of the past!"
"Sir..." Mr. Liu knew that the young man in front of him was his nobleman. When the Zheng Kingdom was destroyed, it was he who gave him a way to make money and made him as wealthy as he is today.
But this young man also refused to eat or take, and he refused to accept any good things. In Mr. Liu's opinion, he is simply stubborn and refuses to make any progress.
In the past, officials did not eat cards. As long as they took out the bribes of hundreds of gold coins, they could buy it and pulled the other party to the thief boat, and since then they became a family.
The young man in front of me is extremely honest, only follows one rule in everything, is easy to deal with, but is the most unreasonable.
Since this person is here today, Mr. Liu knows that what the other person said is definitely not a joke.
However, his tax evasion was done flawlessly. He had a professional accountant to do the fraud and bribed several petty officials. He felt that it was unlikely that the incident would come to light.
So, he made up his mind to gamble no matter what for the thousands of gold coins.
"Ignore it! This time I come here and I will keep my word! Just take care of yourself!" The young man didn't say much and just walked away, which is called a straightforward act.
This Mr. Liu immediately panicked - if the other party said a few more words, he felt that the other party was trying to deceive him. But the other party moved swiftly, and he felt guilty as a thief.
So he almost subconsciously stopped the other party: "Sir! Your Excellency, stay! Stay! Mr. Liu is obsessed with his mind at one moment and his mind at another! Sir, tell me, is there any remedy?"
The young city official dropped the cigarette butt, stamped it out with his foot, turned around and stared at Mr. Liu, and narrowed his eyes: "Now take the money and a sufficient fine and go to the tax department to settle the account! You bastard, what else?" Next time, your 16-year-old concubine will be a widow!"
After saying this, he walked towards the factory gate, as if he was too tired to even say another word. Mr. Liu thought about this for a few seconds, suddenly thought about it, and immediately went home to withdraw enough money, and rushed to the tax department before getting off work that day.
After being scolded, Mr. Liu, who was sweating profusely, finally returned home and told his wives what had happened.
Just when his first wife angrily cursed him as a prodigal son, and confiscated all the cash in the house after being frightened, the housekeeper hurried in.
As soon as he entered the door, the old slave shouted loudly: "The Zhang family, the Zhang family has been ransacked! I heard that the son of the Zhang family was found to have evaded taxes. His family property was confiscated and he was fined 200,000 yuan. I cried. The sound can be heard clearly across the street..."
Hearing what the old housekeeper said, the wife who had just been bossing her around immediately lost her temper, and Mr. Liu immediately turned around.
The shrewish wife, who knew she was in the wrong, had to put up with the bad breath of her husband taking a concubine. Mr. Liu's status in the family was +1...
It’s just that when Mr. Liu went to visit the mayor with his gifts, he was stuck behind closed doors as usual. Mr. Liu has lived for most of his life, and he feels more and more confused about his life. He doesn't understand why his previous experience in life is not working, so now he is very confused.
