Chapter 16731674Interview
"The military operation against the Ice Empire will end soon. I hope that the heroic soldiers of the Empire can usher in their own peace as soon as possible." Tang Mo looked a little excited when answering reporters' questions.
Recently, it has been confirmed that the royal family has added two new members, and two more little lives are about to come to this world.
Of course, everyone's joys and sorrows are different. Tang Mo, who has already stood at the top of the world, naturally will not care about the lives of the civilians on the Eastern Continent who are undergoing war.
It's not entirely true that he doesn't care. He feels that all he can care about is getting them out of the war as soon as possible and ending the war as soon as possible. Although he is a little arrogant, facts have proved that the people's living standards will only improve under the rule of the Tang Empire. Steady improvement.
The Tang Empire was still executing their tried-and-true reform steps: after occupying an area, they would first resolve the most acute conflicts and bring to court the landlords who controlled the land and the gentry and nobles who oppressed the people.
Physically eliminate the landlord class, carry out limited capital reforms at the grassroots level of the empire, cover up the visible exploitation, and make it more hidden and softer... This can effectively improve the happiness index of the common people.
Of course, from a long-term perspective, such so-called reforms cannot solve the problem once and for all, but this is not what Tang Mo needs to worry about.
He is not a reformer, he is just an ordinary person who protects his own vested interests. Now that he has become the emperor, he will naturally do everything possible to safeguard the interests of the royal family.
In the foreseeable future, his son must also be the emperor of the empire, and most likely the emperor of the entire world. Tang Mo only needs to maintain the current situation to leave a future for his family for a hundred or even a thousand years.
As for the longer-term future... Tang Mo didn't think about it at all. In his previous life, he was an arms dealer. In this life, he has reached a height he has never reached before. He is still groping for everything. It is not realistic to expect him to take a longer-term view.
“You mean, the empire is not interested in controlling other empires on the Eastern Continent?” The reporter obviously wanted to dig up some serious information and continued to ask with a smile.
Tang Mo faced the camera and did not hide his ambition at all: "Any behavior that provokes the empire will be punished. Every bullet fired at our soldiers will be returned ten times and a hundred times! This is the empire's Principle, someone must pay for their indiscretion.”
"As for interest...that is the people's choice! I have always believed that as long as I can make my subjects live better, then no one will oppose my rule. There are always people who think that the empire's invincible army relies on advanced technology Weapons and equipment, but they are wrong. The most powerful weapon of the empire is to treat the people under its rule well. "
Tang Mo, who said these words, did not think that he was bragging at all, because his empire had indeed done many things in the past year that he could not even imagine in the past.
There are more and more jetliners in the empire, the railways in the empire are getting longer and longer, and the factories in the empire are getting bigger and bigger...The entire empire has not been affected by the war at all, but is thriving and prosperous.
All occupied areas have developed rapidly, and almost anyone can easily find a job that suits them as long as they are willing.
Even because there were too many jobs, the Tang Empire had to continue to use the slavery system and continue to use goblins and orcs to perform dangerous and high-intensity work. Tang Mo never said that his empire was a fair empire. There was never any fairness here. It's just that the dividends of development cover up almost all contradictions. When people can get income that meets their expectations, they are no longer so enthusiastic about fairness.
In fact, Tang Mo is also reaping the dividends of this era: people have just broken away from the old-style inefficient oppression of nobles and landlords, and they obviously have no awareness of the hidden oppression of capital. Uninformed people are ecstatic about all the more they can gain, without having time to reflect on the longer term.
The literacy rate of many people in the occupied areas is not high, so it is impossible to expect these few people who cannot even read to think about reasonable social structure issues.
Because it has occupied most of the world, the Tang Empire's domestic demand has far exceeded its exports. In the foreseeable future, perhaps the word export will soon disappear completely.
However, many economists are worried that with the continuous expansion of the empire's territory, trade between various regions of the Tang Empire will transform and replace the past import and export trade. The operation is still the same operation mode, there is no change...
"So, Your Majesty, have you ever considered...that grand goal that no one has ever achieved?" At the end of the interview, the reporter pretended to take notes while asking Tang Mo a very direct question. .
Everyone knows what he is asking, because this question has been mentioned repeatedly in the courts of the Tang Empire many times.
The world must be unified, this is already the consensus of the high-level officials of the Tang Empire. No one will let go of their hands at this time, because as long as they complete it for even a moment, all of them will be remembered in history forever.
From that day forward, the history of the world will be divided into two parts: the history before them, and the history behind them.
"Of course I've thought about it..." Tang Mo nodded, and then showed a bright smile: "And actually...it can't be said that I just thought about it. To be honest, my ministers have even started to study something. It’s a whole new set of etiquette, hehehe.”
He said it tactfully and made a joke. But everyone knew that that position was indeed very, very close to him.
Tang Mo was indeed not joking. His ministers were indeed studying a complete set of etiquette for the "World Emperor". This set of things has never appeared before, and it must be distinguished from the current so-called emperor.
Throughout the ages, Tang Mo is the first person to have this honor, and from now on... those who come after him can only refer to and follow this set of etiquette that belongs to Tang Mo. Even if Tang Mo's empire falls, even if a new empire takes its place, they can only be the second empire.
This is the reward for a "First Emperor".
“Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to be interviewed. Long live our emperor.” The reporter stood up and saluted, ending the interview.
