Chapter 1039: 1040 meet
Chapter 1039 1040 Meeting
In fact, in addition to Chu Muzhou and his group, there are several people who chose the Tang Empire: these two people are also members of the Zhao family, one is named Zhao Zheng and the other is Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng likes to command a powerful air force too much. He has his own experience of flying aircraft in combat, so he knows how important it is for pilots to have powerful fighter jets.
So he chose to become the air commander of the Datang Empire and returned to the Datang Empire together with some Datang Empire pilots who came for training.
And Zhao Zheng's family members were all escorted to Tang State, so he resigned directly from Zhao Yu's side. As an old soldier of Dahua, he took the money promised to him by the Tang Dynasty Empire and prepared to live a rich life in the Tang Dynasty Empire.
However, Qian Jinhang secured a staff position for him, so he also became a member of the General Staff of the Tang Empire, received the rank of colonel, and was responsible for some work there.
After entering the Tang Empire, Zhao Chen and Chu Muzhou were all stunned by the sight in front of them. They originally thought that Dongfengjiang was already the most prosperous city in the world, but after seeing Chang'an, they were completely stupid. Blinded.
In their perception, this is definitely not a city on earth: there are rows of high-rise buildings, the streets are busy with traffic, and pedestrians are rubbing shoulders one after another.
They have never seen such a bustling city. The traffic here even uses signal lights, and there are so many cars that they can't even imagine.
Now they know how wealthy the Tang Empire was. Every family in Chang'an seems to have their own car.
After these people saw the Forbidden City, they seemed to finally see what a qualified master should look like.
With red walls and green tiles, the palace complex is solemn and solemn. The scale of the entire palace complex is frightening, and it is also extremely majestic. Frankly speaking, if a monarch built his palace like this, he would have been scolded by his ministers in the past.
But in the Tang Dynasty, anyone who mentioned the Forbidden City would be filled with feelings of reverence and worship, as if their monarch was born to be extravagant, as if Tang Mo would not be tolerated if he did not squander it.
When Chu Muzhou passed by Wenhua Hall and Wuying Hall, he was attracted by the busyness of people coming and going. The entire administrative structure of the Tang Empire was prosperous and full of vitality. The officials felt wind at their feet when they walked, as if walking slowly was a kind of blasphemy against their own identities.
There is a huge parking lot next to the Forbidden City. I heard that it has three underground floors and two floors above ground. The entire parking lot is full of cars, all black government cars, all with government license plates.
Everyone's family members had been sent to the mansions they were assigned. Only the royal family could afford so much real estate in Chang'an at once.
No joke at all, every inch of land in Chang'an is really valuable now. Except for the royal family of the Tang Dynasty who still have some land, the rest of the land is really extremely expensive.
Small businessmen in the capital of Great China may lose all their money selling iron, but they may not be able to buy a decent property in Chang'an: as the saying goes, it is not easy to live in Chang'an.
Local civilians in Chang'an joke that after selling a larger house in Chang'an, they can open a factory elsewhere. In fact, it is really not a joke, but just telling the truth.
Of course, many places actually dismiss this statement: the housing prices in Tongcheng and Linshui are actually very high. If the air quality in Tongcheng is not so bad, the housing prices may not be much lower than Chang'an.
In addition, Longcheng and Dongwan are both “indescribably expensive.” Even if you want to buy a house in Longcheng, money is not enough. You have to prove your loyalty.
Everyone was shocked when they heard the price of the property that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty awarded them. It’s not that the reception staff of Tang State deliberately showed off. On the one hand, they were afraid that these silly roe deer from Dahua would misunderstand His Majesty the Emperor as being stingy. On the other hand, they were really afraid that they would sell the house in a confused way...
In fact, an official from other places who came to Chang'an did something similar a long time ago. At that time, he thought that the rise in housing prices was an accident, and he was so excited that he sold the property that the empire had given him...
Now this eldest brother has become a joke in Chang'an. The year before last, he moved to a rented house in the suburbs of Chang'an. He had to be stuck in traffic for two hours to go to work. He heard that he had to leave home before dawn, and he might not be able to get home after dark.
After settling the families who came from afar, Chu Muzhou and others came to the Forbidden City to express their gratitude. In fact, they just met Emperor Tang Mo and chatted with each other. Tomorrow they will take office and prove their worth to their new master.
Zhou Qiang is an exception. He does not need to meet His Majesty the Emperor: it is not until today that he realizes what he and his son have missed due to their greed.
There are not many people who can drive into the Meridian Gate, but Chu Muzhou's level is definitely enough. Besides, Tang Mo took their age into consideration and allowed their cars to use the parking lot inside the Forbidden City.
Tang Mo met them in his office at Baohe Hall. The sharp contrast between such a young emperor and such a powerful empire once again shocked everyone.
"Welcome gentlemen, I hope you can use what you have learned throughout your life and contribute to the construction of the Tang Empire." Tang Mo did not put on airs at all. In fact, his aura was intimidating enough: "Everyone, get up." The generals and ministers from Dahua just knelt down one after another and performed the ceremony of kneeling in accordance with the rules of the Tang Dynasty: when you first meet Tang Mo, you need to kneel down once, but it is not required later. . Unless there is a festival, just perform the chest caressing ceremony.
This etiquette was standardized within the Tang Empire in the past few years. A kneel down represents the subject's absolute surrender to His Majesty the Emperor, which did not exist before.
After letting these people stand up, Tang Mo walked to Chu Muzhou and grabbed his hand: "Old sir, you have worked hard all the way. You can rest for a few days. There is no need to worry."
"Old minister, I'm flattered..." Chu Muzhou lowered his head slightly, not used to it: he had not received such courtesy in the Dahua Empire for many years. As the prime minister, he was the representative of the ministerial power who checked and balanced the imperial power, so he was definitely not popular with the emperor.
He even felt regretful in his heart, thinking that this might be the day when he was most favored by the emperor in the Tang Empire: after today, he would become the one who shared the emperor's power, the unpopular "old immortal" "…
"Mr. Chu can go to the Wenhua Palace to start work at any time... I hope that the old gentleman can provide suggestions to take the management of the empire to a higher level." Tang Mo did not say much, he knew that he wanted these ministers to understand the operation of the Tang Empire. , in fact, they need to experience it themselves.
“Help Roger, sir.” Tang Mo patted the back of Chu Muzhou’s hand and walked to Wang Yucai.
Looking at Wang Yucai, who was younger than Chu Muzhou, Tang Mo was even more satisfied: "The money of the Tang Dynasty is spent wisely, sir, there is no need to be stingy, as long as you spend it reasonably, I will give you whatever you spend! "
“It’s a great honor for me to be able to manage your Majesty’s finances.” Wang Yucai was already thinking about how to spend money and gave Tang Mo a surprise. He wanted to see if Tang Mo would really support him as he said if he kept spending money.
Tang Mo walked up to Jiang Run again, pointed at him, turned his head and said to Weiss beside him: "Mr. Jiang, this is our old friend. He has been dealing with us before and was bullied by our diplomats. long time.”
"I hope you can contribute to the diplomatic cause of the Tang Empire!" Tang Mo patted Jiang Run's arm: "First, be tougher. You are my diplomat of the Tang Empire. From today on, you don't need to Compromise to any country; secondly, don’t bully diplomats who have bullied you!”
“I will remember your Majesty’s teachings!” Jiang Run smiled and lowered his head: this relaxed feeling made him feel good, Zhao Kai never joked with him.
“Mr. Chen.” Tang Mo walked to Chen Jing’s side again and chatted for a few words with the old man in charge of the Industrial Department of the Dahua Empire. To Tang Mo's expectation, the other party was very professional and had his own insights into the management of industry and construction.
Tang Mo has almost taken over the management of Dahua Empire. This is his achievement and a different kind of gain.
Although these talents are old, they are indeed intelligent, experienced and qualified bureaucrats. Moreover, these people have withstood the test of the Tang Empire's intelligence department to a certain extent, which is rare.
There are not many people who can withstand the bribery test of the Datang Empire, which represents their loyalty and certain abilities: Zhou Qiang was eliminated in the process.
"General Zhao Chen." Tang Mo finally walked up to the worried Zhao Chen and comforted him: "The general's family members have been protected, so there is no need to worry, general."
After comforting him, Tang Mo asked about Zhao Chen's plan: "I intend to let the general go to the military academy for a period of time to learn more advanced military command and military thinking. What does the general think?"
Zhao Chen certainly didn’t know what it meant to study in a military academy. When a general was demoted and went to a military academy, it often meant that he had a certain level of qualifications to lead troops.
Zhao Chen, who had no idea that he might be reused, was not excited either. He just lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty arranges it, and I will definitely comply with it."
"Then it's settled." Tang Mo nodded, then thought of something, and reminded: "Stand up your chest! Look up!"
Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously stood up straight.
"In our Datang Empire, soldiers are not allowed to bow their heads or bend over...just perform the military salute of our Datang Empire." Tang Mo said with satisfaction.
“Yes!” Zhao Chen had seen the military salutes of the Tang Dynasty and imitated them, so he performed a less-than-standard military salute of standing at attention.
