Chapter 1464: 1465 huge stall
Tang Mo put down a report, took off his glasses and said: "These data look good, but we must be wary of people below lying about their reports for political performance. We must investigate carefully without making any mistakes."
Having to read a large number of reports every day has made his eyes somewhat myopic. Although he has a professional medical team and follows the doctor's instructions to take care of his eyes every day, he still has to wear a pair of glasses.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Chu Muzhou, who returned from Fengjiang inspection, nodded.
The Tang Empire's report, at least so far, the data in it is already very accurate. Compared with similar reports from other countries, the data can be described as detailed.
Chu Muzhou used to look at the data reported by officials of the Dahua Empire, and they all had to fluctuate by 50%.
What is the concept? That is, if you are optimistic about the good news, you should at least exaggerate the reported results by 50%. If it is bad news, then you should at least add 50% to the tragic results reported...
Of course, this is a science, and specific issues must be analyzed in detail, and specific situations must be judged in detail: If there are benefits to be gained, maybe the bad news will be exaggerated; if you are afraid of taking responsibility, then the good news will also be reported. modesty.
For example, in a war situation, if the opponent is a soft persimmon, the data will often be overreported in order to gain battle credit, so as to gain credit and gain benefits. But if the opponent is a tough opponent, he will talk less when reporting battle achievements. This can achieve a certain degree of war avoidance effect.
The same is true in a peaceful environment: if a place suffers a disaster and needs to be held accountable for a man-made disaster, then it will report less and conceal it to minimize the blame; but if it is a natural disaster that requires relief, then say as much as possible, so that you can ask for help. to more money.
In short, this is a science. After Chu Muzhou studied for more than ten years, he gradually understood the methods of the people below, and he was gradually able to see clearly what happened in various regions of the Dahua Empire through those false data. All sorts of questions.
It's different now. The data reported by the Tang Empire is actually very detailed. There may be errors, but they are already very small.
Hold these reports and look at the data inside, sometimes Chu Muzhou can't help but think that even a bunch of waste can manage this empire well with so much data support and such detailed and accurate data support.
The Tang Empire's grain production has increased a lot in the past six months, and the data looks very good. Tang Mo also ate a little more lunch because he was happy. When he met Chu Muzhou in the afternoon, his tone of voice became a little brighter.
However, because the Tang Empire was so large, good news was always mixed with some bad news.
This is a trouble that only big countries have. Countries without such a vast territory cannot feel such pain at all: you can see in the news that places like Lighthouse Country, Chinese Rabbit, and Wooly Bear have a lot of bad things going on, either a typhoon here or an earthquake there. , it seems like I never have a good day.
As for those small countries, even the weather forecast is simple and clear. Just say it rains all over the country and it's almost over.
Tang Mo put down the grain production report, picked up another report on earthquake disasters and asked, "How is the earthquake in Zangjian Gorge being handled?"
Chu Muzhou had also inquired about this matter in Fengjiang before, and even allocated food from Fengjiang Xiajuanwanliang and other areas to assist the disaster area. That's why Tang Mo asked Chu Muzhou about this matter. After all, Chu Muzhou was a senior official of the empire who had just returned from "near the place where the incident occurred". "As of yesterday, there were 1,900 casualties... The disaster there is quite serious. The financial department has allocated a special relief fund of 25 million gold coins. In addition, the local garrison has also dispatched 30,000 people..." Chu Muzhou is also familiar with the whole situation. Everything, the data is very accurate from the beginning.
Then he introduced the grain transshipment work and mentioned in passing that Luo Xiao's 8th Army had transferred some troops back to Jiange and other places to support local post-disaster reconstruction.
Finally, he sighed and summarized the pessimistic situation there: "However, the damage there was very serious. Tens of thousands of houses collapsed and many infrastructures were destroyed. The problem is quite serious."
Tang Mo was very satisfied with Chu Muzhou's answer and nodded slightly: "Make sure that the local people can eat, and help them build residences as soon as possible, or arrange temporary residences. If we slow down here, some people will starve, and some people will go hungry." Dying because of this is something I don’t want to see.”
“Yes! Your Majesty!” Chu Muzhou agreed immediately.
Immediately, Tang Mo added: "In addition, there are also medicines...the supply must be guaranteed."
“I understand.” Chu Muzhou continued to respond.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Mo remembered the most important transportation node over there: "By the way, the Zangjian Bridge was not affected, right? An expert team was sent out and asked them to check the bridge structure. If there are problems, repair them immediately. If not, rebuild them. A new bridge must not joke about this kind of thing.”
Although the Tang Empire was building the second and third bridges on the Zangjian Gorge, they have not yet been fully connected, so the previously built bridge is still the only bridge connecting the two sides of the Zangjian Gorge.
This earthquake also caused the work of the two unfinished bridges to be suspended, which also gave the first bridge that had been connected a higher status.
"Yes! I will make arrangements immediately." Chu Muzhou promised again.
Tang Mo was worried that the people below were not careful, so he gave another instruction: "Remember, if we open a hole here, a crack will appear below, and if there is a crack below, it will become a chasm when it reaches the people! Once we are separated from the people, our empire will be in doom."
In fact, he does not need to be so meticulous, but his habits over the years have made him still ask about more things as his energy allows.
"I understand." Chu Muzhou continued to nod. He was very satisfied with Tang's management model and highly praised Tang Mo's attitude of sincerely caring about the people. In his opinion, if a monarch can persist in loving the people as his son and doing everything from the perspective of benefiting the people, then he will definitely become an emperor who will leave a name in history.
From the perspective of Chu Muzhou, Tang Mo, the founder of the country, who could keep the people well fed, never lost in several foreign wars, and make an empire prosperous, was already a great emperor.
If such an emperor is not worthy of following or admiring, Chu Muzhou would not know what kind of emperor is worthy of his allegiance. So now he doesn't feel guilty at all for betraying Dahua, and he is full of heroic intentions to assist the wise master in settling the world.
