Compared with the capital Chang'an, Anpu's living conditions are actually not that good. It is a temporary frontline headquarters with liaison officers from various units stationed there, as well as a large group of staff officers. Radio antennas used for communication can be seen everywhere.
.
Together with the security troops, various officials' cars, and the logistics supply troops, this originally small city was almost completely packed.
Like other cities in the Tang Dynasty, it is also undergoing a series of modernizations, adding complex sewer systems, building more high-rise buildings, and building various factories in the suburbs.
The whole place seemed like a huge construction site, and it was a strange construction site where soldiers could be seen everywhere.
Even, a field airport was built here so that commanders from other regions could quickly and conveniently go here to meet their monarch.
The headquarters where Tang Mo is located is a manor on the outskirts of Anpu. This manor used to belong to a nobleman of the Zheng State. This nobleman fled to the Qi State when the Tang State destroyed Zheng. Now his life or death is unknown.
Compared to the capital Chang'an, which has been under construction for several years, there is almost nothing to offer except a power plant for power supply.
The room where Tang Mo lives has undergone minor renovations, and the conditions are still relatively good. At least he has his own bathroom and can take a bath in the room.
Even with the victory of the war, the sandbags stacked outside his window were removed, and the lighting in the room suddenly became better. At least he no longer needed to light the light during the day.
This made Tang Mo feel a little better, because at least he wouldn't always think of a basement-like environment, and his mood naturally improved a lot.
It's a pity that such a good mood finally disappeared after the Sun Ze case broke out. Now the entire Tang Dynasty is undergoing a purge, and the killings are like a bloody drifting pestle.
How terrifying was the scale of the entire purge operation? It was so terrifying that during the operation, the Tang Army even suffered casualties! It can be seen how fierce the resistance was during the execution of the mission, and how bloody the purge operation was.
Nangonghong realized that Tang's New Deal would be resisted by traditional forces, and he also expected that he would encounter resistance when implementing similar policies.
But he didn't expect that Tang Mo would launch the purge in such a decisive way, and he didn't even intend to give the old forces any room to survive.
Such a backlash has even caused turmoil. In some rural areas, private armies have even begun to rebel. However, because of the strength of the Tang army, the situation can still be controlled.
So he came to meet with Tang Mo to discuss whether it was reasonable to rush into such a purge before the foreign war was over.
However, after seeing Tang Mo's energetic appearance, he knew that all this chaos was far from causing anxiety to his monarch.
Tang Mo is still in control of everything, and even this liquidation and killing of the old forces was initiated by him after careful consideration.
At this moment, Tang Mo was having breakfast. Just like when he was in Chang'an, there were newspapers of the day placed next to his table, and the breakfast in front of him was still as rich as before.
In his previous life, Tang Mo was a successful businessman, and in this life, Tang Mo was a wealthy monarch, so Tang Mo would never wrong himself.
He doesn't think it's bullshit to live frugally and lead by example. He thinks he should enjoy delicious food, wear the most luxurious clothes, drive a nice car and live in a palace.
He will not deliberately wrong himself in these aspects, and believes that appropriate extravagance and waste is a good habit.
So he has several breakfast options, but the combination of meat and vegetables is a recipe prepared by nutrition experts - eating well does not mean that you can eat and drink as much as you want. Healthy eating is still a rule that must be followed.
At the dinner table, while eating soy milk and fried dough sticks, Tang Mo lamented to Nangong Hong, who came to see him: "Sun Ze is too young. He is a student, just a student. He has ideals and abilities, but he just puts the world
Itβs too wonderful to imagine.β
He has no habit of being silent during meals. In fact, he often talks while eating and even issues various orders while eating.
For him, except for sleeping, it can be office time. With this method, he can squeeze out at least more than an hour every day to do more things.
Nangong Hong was actually ready to swallow his words to persuade Tang Mo to reduce the scale of the purge, but he didn't expect that Tang Mo would make this matter clear instead.
So he was slightly stunned when Tang Mo continued: "He calculated every detail and felt that it was impossible for the enemy to kill him regardless of his life. In other words, he calculated that the enemy would come to kill him and that he could use his own life.
To promote a change that we had no determination to promote before.β
Nangong Hong could clearly hear Tang Mo's heartache when he said these words. He was sincerely sad about losing a talent, because the Tang Kingdom was really short of talent.
Every talent we train is extremely valuable. They are the ones who can truly understand the New Deal, and they are the ones who can truly make the New Deal exert its power.
In order to rapidly expand the talent pool, each graduate only studied for three to five months. They were about the same age as technical school students, and they could only do a few things they had learned.
Later, as time went by, the time required to train talents in various schools gradually increased, so there were students who only graduated in three to five years.
These students study more deeply and master more skills. Such talents are more capable than those students who graduated earlier, and they are also more qualified for management and leadership jobs.
Sun Ze is such a talent! Datang Group has spent several years carefully cultivating talents who are ready to be used as the pillars of the country!
How can Tang Mo not be sad to lose such a talent? You must know that even if it is an early talent that has only been cultivated for a few months, if a few are lost, Tang Mo will launch a war to avenge them.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now that a talent like Sun Ze has been lost, Tang Mo is just killing some unreasonable bastards in his own country. Tang Mo feels that his temper has been...
All become smaller!
According to his temper in the past, he should even find an unlucky country to declare war directly, and then dig up the ancestral grave of the king of that country, so as to vent the bad anger in his chest.
Without waiting for Nangong Hong to speak, or maybe Tang Mo was just telling himself and not giving Nangong Hong a chance to speak, he continued: "But he is too ideal after all, or our young academic officials are too
Idealistically, they lack flexibility and the ability to cope with social complexity."
"So, our young officials will either quickly degenerate and become the protection of local powerful people; or they will carry out my orders upright and realize their own political ideals. This is our shortcoming, and there is no way to change it.
." As Tang Mo said, he pointed at the newspaper and motioned for Nangong Hong to pick it up and read it.
Hearing what Tang Mo said, Nangong Hong thought of the two young men who were dealt with before. They took things they shouldn't have, so they lost their ability to eat.
It's a pity that if they could resist those temptations, maybe they would see a different scenery and reach heights that they themselves could not even imagine.
When Nangong Hong picked up the newspaper and read the contents, he knew that this time, the old aristocrats, plutocrats and bureaucrats who thought highly of themselves had lost.
They lost completely, and no one would burn incense to commemorate them. Because the king of Tang in front of them issued a nationwide tax reduction order.
Common people, especially those with lower incomes, have their monthly tax payments reduced by 5%. Although it may not seem like much, these are real benefits that fall on them.
What's more, this is a new tax policy that was introduced under the premise that farmers have planting subsidies and almost no taxes. This is equivalent to giving all workers a 5% wage increase at once!
In order to make up for the shortfall caused by this tax reduction, Tang Mo increased the tax amount of the wealthy class, and increased it by a lot, reaching 12%!
Nangong Hong knew that the man named Tang Mo sitting in front of him was the biggest tycoon in the country. He had increased his tax by 12%, and he would strictly implement it!
For a moment, Nangong Hong didn't know why Tang Mo did this. If he just wanted to have wealth, he already had enough.
Tang Mo was still talking about Sun Ze at this time: "If we want to implement the New Deal, overthrow the old social system, and make the country politically advanced, we can only use cadres and officials trained by ourselves, because the old system
None of the officials below understood the essence of this political theory."
As he spoke, he sighed: "But if we appoint our own officials, the official structure will be too young, and various problems will inevitably arise."
"The good news is that we have the support of the people and the army. As long as we don't make a big mess ourselves, our enemies won't be able to cause any trouble." Tang Mo finished eating and wiped his mouth to signal the maid next to him to clear the table.
.
Weiss, who never said a word from the beginning to the end, stuffed the fried dough sticks in his hand into his mouth hungrily, poured the rest of the soy milk in, and handed the bowl to the maid casually.
Tang Mo looked at Weiss's appearance and shook his head: "The bad news is that in this revolution, the price we have to pay will be very high, and someone will sacrifice, just like Sun Ze. He is not the first, nor the
Definitely not the last one."
"I hope this killing will make everyone realize that we have a bottom line! Those who do not cooperate may lose money or status, but those who resist will definitely die! This is the number of heads we are killing now.
Reason." He made a gesture of raising the knife and lowering it: "Killing is so that you can avoid killing in the future. The more you kill now, the less you may kill in the future. This is the kindness of the system, and this is my benevolent government.
