Chapter 654: 654 is even less calm

 Chapter 654 654 is even less calm

"The special envoy of the Dahua Empire seemed to be shocked by the news. He was silent for a long time, and then canceled the meeting with me." Prime Minister Roger met Tang Mo in the office after the dwarf envoy left.

 Tang Mo nodded slightly, seeming to have guessed the main purpose of these countries suddenly resuming negotiations with Tang State.

He tapped the table gently and said to his prime minister: "Actually, I guessed it. They came here this time with the intention of putting pressure on me."

"They want us to end the war with Mirage, and we can't liquidate Mirage yet. This is their bottom line." As he spoke, he walked to the map of Mirage and looked at the huge island: "Although it is very I think, but now is not the time to eat this **** country in one bite.”

He turned back and looked at Roger: "In fact, it will take about a year for us to continue to expand the army and accumulate strength...and in this process, we need more minerals, more steel, and more workers. , and more...everything!"

"We are short of everything, we are short of time, we are short of raw materials, and we are even short of population! So we cannot immediately go to war with the Great China Empire and Chu State." He said while personally pouring Roger a glass of Bunas 3 years : "Even if I know they are bluffing, I can only give them this face."

“This is the compromise that should be made!” Roger said to Tang Mo: “You need time to consolidate your occupation of Qi country and let the civilians there accept the fact that you are their king.”

"Indeed, but the good old days when we could buy people at will and constantly absorb the surrounding population are over. Chu State will no longer let us absorb their population, and neither will the Dahua Empire." Tang Mo was a little regretful said.

For him, last year was a really good time. He was able to absorb tens of thousands of fleeing people from the three surrounding countries every day. How to settle these people has become something he has to worry about every day.

At that time he was really busy and happy. He arranged various jobs for these refugees, and then led these civilians who had just become Tang people to build Tang State into an industrial country in one breath!

Don’t underestimate this achievement. Just look at how the empires that took over areas such as Bunas and Beiling did, and you will know how well Tang Mo’s men did.

“The good news is that even during the war, our country’s population growth rate in the past year was the fastest in a hundred years.” Roger, who is in charge of this, still has a lot to say.

The development of the Tang Kingdom has entered the fast lane. For a country that has basically achieved industrialization, the increase in population is completely unmatched by traditional agricultural countries.

You must know that large-scale poultry farming alone is already a bottleneck for many countries: if it were not for chickens to increase meat production capacity, it would be difficult for the world to have super-mega cities with a population of more than three million.

The emergence of modern, advanced and systematic sewer systems and the popularization of high-rise buildings have provided the possibility for the population explosion in big cities.

If it were not for the launch of a series of drugs by the pharmaceutical company of Datang Group, population gathering would mean a plague outbreak and an epidemic of infectious diseases. Only the initial establishment of a modern medical system would allow the population increase to be realized.

 Every link is extremely important and can be said to be indispensable in a true sense. At the same time, the complete and huge industrial system provides employment opportunities for this expanding population, filling in the last piece of the puzzle of this entire cycle.

 Modern society is a sophisticated and efficient huge circulatory system. It is like a high-speed running machine. Every part has its role and serves the operation of the entire machine.

“What I want is not to develop faster than in the past hundred years. What I want is for us to develop faster than ourselves.” Tang Mo didn’t feel like there was anything to show off about the achievements he had made.

  You said that you drove a 99A main battle tank and killed a knight wearing plate armor in an instant. What are you so proud of?

Tang Mo knows very well that after the beginning of industrialization and informatization, the development rate of human beings in 200 years is almost ten times the combined rate of evolutionary development in the past 15,000 years! The total amount of information exchange and transmission in one day in the 21st century is the total amount of information transmission from the birth of the earth to 1999.

In other words, the amount of information that 12-year-old children are exposed to nowadays has exceeded that of any wise monarch. In the Tang Dynasty, it took Li Shimin 5 days to know what happened in the Loop Corridor. Tang Mo, who had the telegram, knew What happened on the eastern continent took less than half an hour.

 Hence, there is no comparability at all. All Tang Mo can do, or in other words, all he has to do, is to surpass himself!

 He only has himself to compare with, and he has only himself to set as a benchmark! He is already ahead of the world, so he can only race against himself.

It’s actually quite ironic. From another perspective, Tang Mo is trying to figure out how to lead the Tang Kingdom to race against the beautiful lighthouse country on earth today. One day, he will surpass this non-existent imaginary enemy.

"It's really a majestic goal." Roger rubbed his sore neck and said to Tang Mo: "You have already built a country. I, an old man, may not be able to keep up with you. "

“It doesn’t matter, Uncle Roger, what you have to do now is to help me take care of my home.” Tang Mo said with a smile.

“This is why I insist on not retiring.” Roger also laughed. He knew Tang Mo's trust in him, and he was working hard to repay the trust Tang Mo had given him.

It is not easy to control a huge country. No matter how powerful Tang Mo is, he still needs a large group of confidants who can make him feel at ease to help him work.

 Obviously, Tang Mo was lucky. He met a group of people worthy of his trust very early on. The kind Roger, the upright Tiger, the duplicitous Wes, and Youlin, who loves him to the core... In short, he is very satisfied with his current situation and is much happier and warmer than before he traveled through time.

"Let Harry find something for his wife to do!" After Tang Mo comforted his prime minister, he said to Roger: "He has been honeymooning on Dragon Island for so long, so he should work for Datang Group. Got to do something.”

Roger laughed: "Your Majesty, he is almost too busy to have children, but you think he is on vacation, hahaha."

"Isn't he on vacation? If he thinks he has done well enough, I will ask You Lin to go to Long Island to see if there is anything worthy of improvement!" Tang Mo smiled and pulled out his whip.

"If you really do this, Harry probably won't have time to have a baby." Roger quickly stopped Tang Mo from directly dispatching his own Yan Shuangying, trying to find a way for Harry to survive: "I'll give it to him immediately. Send a telegram and ask Jenny to ventilate Cyric’s side.”

"Let her ask that **** Sophia if she wants airplane technology!" Tang Mo's eyes fell on the wooden model of a biplane he had just ordered.

 What he wants to sell is the aircraft technology from the World War I era that he has in hand, including canvas skins, wooden fuselages, and a low-power motorcycle engine...

Well, if this thing is smaller, changes to a swept wing, installs the engine in the back, installs a remote control device in the front, and carries 50 kilograms of explosives...it can still be replaced with a second spring in the 21st century...at that time It has a resounding name, called suicide drone.

But now, it is just a wooden plane covered with canvas! The flight speed is very slow, the load is very small, and it is almost useless.

 It’s just that these aircraft, which are already seriously outdated when they start to be sold, represent a future, a bright, efficient, and prosperous future!

"I think Cyric will definitely send someone." Roger stood up and said.

"Let Harry prepare some delicious food for Jenny, be romantic. After all, this is high-value information, isn't it?" Tang Mo had a smirk on his face, and he couldn't tell at all that he was now an empire with a territory comparable to that of an empire. master of the country.

 …

"Dear!" Soon, Harry, who rushed home early, hugged his wife Jenny who was watering the flowers in the yard of his villa.

“Why did you come back so early this year? Do you still have time to finish your work?” Jenny asked with a happy face, holding her belly that was gradually swelling.

"Just leave this kind of thing to the maids. You need to take care of yourself now." Harry warned Jenny with a smile without answering.

 “I used to be a maid.” Jenny kept Harry’s arm, not hiding her past at all.

Harry had no grudges and asked directly: "Can you still find the contact information of the Fire Castle?"

 “What do you mean?” Jenny’s face changed slightly, and she asked with some anxiety.

"It's not interesting. His Majesty wants you to inform Sophia and ask her to arrange for a special envoy to come over if she has time... Datang Group is preparing to sell aircraft technology." Harry seemed to be talking about a very small thing, mentioning the previous Also classified as top secret aircraft technology.

"Oh my God..." After hearing the news, Jenny immediately lost her composure: "This is top secret! Harry!"

“Not now.” Harry replied proudly: “As long as Sophia is willing to pay 100 million gold coins, she can have it!”

"How much? Only sold for 100 million gold coins?" Jenny looked at Harry in disbelief.

"Every country... has to pay 100 million gold coins!" Harry was very proud of Tang Mo's genius charging method: "After all, it's almost... more than a billion, right?"

 “How much?” This time, Jenny was even less calm.
