Tang Mo put down a report, took off his glasses and said, "These data look pretty good, but we must be wary of people below making false reports for the sake of political performance. We must investigate carefully without making any mistakes."
Reading 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 an inspection in Fengjiang, nodded.
The Tang Empire's report, at least from the current point of view, the data in it is already very accurate. Compared with similar reports from other countries, it can be described as detailed data.
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 this concept? That is, if you are optimistic about the good news, you must at least exaggerate the reported results by 50%. If it is bad news, then you must at least add 50% to the tragic results reported.
Fifty……
Of course, this is a science, and specific issues must be analyzed concretely, and specific situations must be judged concretely: 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, then in order to gain battle merit, the data will often be overreported, so as to grab the credit and gain benefits. However, if the opponent is a hard nut, the data will be reported less when reporting battle merit.
, 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.
get 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 kinds 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.
Holding these reports and looking at the data inside, sometimes Chu Muzhou couldn't help but think that even a bunch of waste could 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 land area of 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 experience such pain at all: you see in the news that there are a lot of broken things in places like the Lighthouse Country, the Chinese Rabbit, and the Wooly Bear. Either there is a typhoon here or an earthquake there.
, it seems like I never have a good day.
In 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 asked about this matter before in Fengjiang, and even allocated food from Fengjiang Xiajuan Wanliang and other areas to assist the disaster area. That's why Tang Mo asked Chu Muzhou about this matter. After all, Chu Muzhou had just moved from
A senior imperial official who 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 Mu Prefecture is also true.
I am familiar with the whole thing and the data is very accurate as soon as I open my mouth.
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 bleak situation there: "However, the damage there is very serious. Tens of thousands of houses have collapsed, and many infrastructures have been 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 food, 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 were not yet fully connected, so the bridge built before was still the only bridge connecting the two sides of the Zangjian Gorge.
This earthquake also halted the construction of the two unfinished bridges, 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. If there is a crack below, it will become a chasm when it reaches the people!
Once we are torn apart from our people, our empire will be in doom."
In fact, he doesn't need to be so meticulous, but his habits over the years have made him still ask more questions when his energy allows.
"I understand." Chu Muzhou continued to nod. He was very satisfied with the Tang Dynasty's management model and highly praised Tang Mo's attitude of sincerely caring about the people. In his opinion, a monarch can persist in loving the people as his son.
, if he can do everything from the perspective of benefiting the people, then he will definitely become an emperor who will leave his name in history.
In the eyes of Chu Muzhou, Tang Mo, the founding emperor, was already a great emperor who could keep the people well fed, who could never lose in several foreign wars, and who could make an empire prosperous.
If such an emperor is not worthy of following or admiring, Chu Muzhou does not know what kind of emperor is worthy of his allegiance. So now he does not feel guilty at all for betraying Dahua, and he is full of assisting the sage in ordering the world.
The meaning of heroism.

I was exhausted yesterday and am out of shape today. I can only do two updates. The supplementary update will be postponed to one day. I'm sorry.
