Chapter 1362: 1363 A different kind of hard work
Chapter 1362 1363 Different Hardships
I have to say that a serious prime minister of an empire is still very capable. Chu Muzhou is indeed stronger than Roger in terms of governance. As long as Tang Mo's policy is mentioned, Chu Muzhou will probably be able to understand the logic of this thing and put forward some unique opinions of his own.
After the introduction of some old bureaucrats from the Great China Empire, the Tang Empire did not become dull and decadent. On the contrary, it became mature and efficient.
This is the great thing about the monarchy. As long as the emperor is strong enough and shows enterprising spirit, the bureaucracy will often develop for the better.
As the emperor gets old or dies, and the aggressive momentum begins to disappear, then the entire institution will begin to degenerate, become less energetic, and eventually collapse and fall into reincarnation.
So, monarchy is not entirely bad, and dictatorship is not impossible to a certain extent. But it turns out that the biggest flaw of this set of things is that it cannot maintain its efficiency.
The problem with the entire system is that it cannot always be maintained at a level that everyone can accept, so it is destined to be eliminated by the "capable people" system that can better maintain the overall level.
That's right, those who are capable will take over. This is a more efficient "control plan" that humans have summed up in the long process of system evolution. In a sense, feudal monarchy is also another model in which the capable live.
After decay and collapse, a dynasty will be replaced by another dynasty. The corrupted king will be overthrown and replaced by a more capable king to reshuffle. This itself is a kind of "election".
It’s just that this kind of election is too **** and has great damage to productivity, so everyone began to use a more civilized way to change the dynasty: voting.
It is impossible for Tang Mo to give up his power, and it is impossible for him to hold any vote within the Tang Empire. He will only continue the monarchy, and even seek the "eternity" of his children and grandchildren to some extent.
He is a vested interest and has also brought technology and progress to the world. Relying on these technological advances, he maintains his "feudal reversal" attribute to a certain extent.
However, compared to the pure semi-slave and semi-feudal system originally played in this world, his semi-capital and semi-feudal system is obviously more advanced.
Under the leadership of his new set of things, the old bureaucracy once again regained its vitality. They realized their political ambitions to govern the country and cultivated new fruits in Tang Mo's burned wilderness.
The Tang Empire untied the shackles of these old bureaucrats and destroyed the "gentry system", "old business model" and "feudal slave shackles" that restricted people like Chu Muzhou. Gave them an almost spotless new world.
Now, this new world has begun to show its power. It easily gave the entire Tang Empire the ability to innovate and evolve itself.
"Your Majesty is in the office." The secretary of the emperor's secretary office who came to greet Chu Muzhou politely greeted Chu Muzhou and made a gesture of invitation.
Chu Muzhou thanked him gratefully, and then followed him to the room where Tang Mo was. The windows here are still bright and clean, and the sunlight shines on the huge world map, making everything here warm.
"Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister." Tang Mo did not put away a technical drawing spread out on the table. He adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and made a gesture of courtesy.
Although Tang Mo has a professional team of doctors to ensure his health, years of writing and drawing work have still made his eyes begin to become myopic. As the emperor of an empire, he has to deal with a mountain of official duties every day - if he wants to monopolize power, he still has to pay a small price.
The good news is that Princess Youlin helps with internal affairs, and Princess Alice takes care of financial matters. Tang Mo, the emperor, can save some time.
But he still has to ask about all the problems, because once the power falls, he may lose control of the empire: all emperors in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, gradually began to develop because they allowed themselves to be lazy one after another. Being deceived by his subordinates, he fell into passivity and finally lost control of the country.
It is precisely because of this that Tang Mo carefully inspects the work of every minister, controls the operation of the empire, and implements his personal will into every decision.
“Your Majesty is so complimentary. This is the duty of a minister.” For some reason, Chu Muzhou felt that he was more excited when he heard Tang Mo’s compliment than when he received Zhao Kai’s reward.
Since he came to the Tang Empire and Chang'an, he discovered that the original job of the prime minister was very different from his previous job. For example, his work is more arduous than before, but he feels more fulfilled than before; for example, his work is more difficult than before, but easier to handle than before...
In the Tang Empire, work no longer required intrigues, and there was no need to waste energy on how to satisfy the emperor's personal preferences... Therefore, for Chu Muzhou, the working conditions here were really to his liking.
“No, I want to thank you.” Tang Mo put down the drawing pen and thanked him seriously: “If it weren’t for you, this empire wouldn’t be as powerful as it is today, and the people wouldn’t be as happy as they are today.”
He is indeed serious. It is precisely because of prime ministers like Chu Muzhou and Luo Jie, as well as You Lin, Alice, Chen Jing, Matthews, Parker, Leo... these ministers that he can control such A huge empire.
This year was not all smooth sailing for the Tang Empire. Firstly, there was an earthquake in the Qidi area in the northeast, and relief was needed for the local disaster; secondly, the migration of goblins in areas such as New Island was irritating.
In addition to taxation work in various places, farming work, including self-examination of corruption, etc.… the empire’s work is really all-encompassing and terrifying.
Although no major problems have arisen due to the efforts of various departments, various small details are still a headache.
The deputy prime minister of Chu Muzhou has actually always been responsible for the work of the prime minister. Roger was mostly responsible for agricultural production. He cared more about the "food security" issue of the Tang Empire than anyone else.
Chu Muzhou, who focused on other issues, did use his ability to help Tang Mo a big favor. He managed everything in an orderly manner, saving Tang Mo a lot of working time.
Tang Mo was quite satisfied with the fact that he had invited many old bureaucrats from the Great China Empire back to take charge of the work of the Great Tang Empire. The best proof was that he gave Chu Muzhou a Longqi car.
