Any officials who want to do some practical things will like the officialdom of the Tang Empire. Here they don't have to spend most of their energy on intrigues with others.
Although in the officialdom, everyone secretly has some so-called "competition consciousness", there is really a big difference between whether this situation is on the table or on the table.
At least on the surface, the selection of officials in the Tang Empire valued ability and loyalty the most. If both of these things were present, there would be some other flaws, but it would not actually have much impact.
Tang Mo used to be a businessman who wandered in the gray area. He cared more about the loyalty of his subordinates and their ability to do things. This style deeply influenced the Tang Empire.
Because this kind of official job was so comfortable, many secret agents from other countries who were deployed to Bunas in the early days took the initiative to reveal their identities, and then chose to stay in the Tang Empire and serve as some minor secret agents.
officer, and even directly served as a double agent in the intelligence service.
After Ying Ke sent away his old colleagues, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to work. He really has a lot of work now, and there are endless things to do every day.
Sometimes I even have to use my own time to inspect some newly opened factories, or to take a look at the canals and subway channels that have been dug outside the city.
If you want to dig the subway without a shield machine, the workload is really not small. However, the Tang Empire has countless free orc laborers, so there are still people who do such horrible and tiring work.
Seeing those orcs covered in dirt resting next to the tunnel gave Ying Ke a new understanding of the prosperity of the Tang Empire, which was built on blood donation.
It's not that the Tang Empire didn't exploit, it just didn't exploit the Tang people themselves. In terms of exploiting and squeezing outsiders, it was even more cruel and ruthless than slave countries.
When Ying Ke learned that the Tang Empire provided a hope for these orcs, and allowed them to enjoy twice the food supply during construction within the Datang Empire, and even occasionally eat meat and drink soda...
... Ying Ke even speculated maliciously that the Tang Empire had blocked all the ways to use orc labor for infrastructure construction.
In the future, when other countries want to use orc labor to do the same thing, their cost will be much higher than that of the Tang Empire... This has to be said to be a conspiracy, a vicious strategy to leave others with no way out.
However, Ying Ke also felt that he was overthinking. He felt that the Tang Empire provided more food and better treatment to these orcs, perhaps just because the Datang Empire hoped to increase the work enthusiasm of these orcs.
"Good guy! 4 million?" When Ying Ke opened the next budget application, his eyes suddenly widened: he saw that a department had applied for 4 million funds in one go, requesting to build a large stadium in Wuyang.
.
This is obviously another "landmark building", and the entire stadium is actually required to accommodate 80,000 people... Judging from this scale, the entire building is definitely not small.
"Shouldn't we talk about this kind of thing later?" Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Ying Ke felt that the officials of the Tang Empire really had too many ways to ask for money.
Looking at the slogans above and the purpose of the entire stadium... Ying Ke couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Of course he had heard about the sports events in the Tang Dynasty and also knew that there were TV broadcasts. The stadium seemed to be able to enrich the citizens' leisure time.
Life.
Even the official who applied for the stadium mentioned a new term called the Tang Dynasty Empire Games. Hosting this games can enhance the popularity of Wuyang City and stimulate more economic development...
Of course there are benefits, and Ying Ke understands the logic to some extent. But it costs another 4 million... isn't it a bit too much? And isn't this just a place to play football? It's really worth spending 4 million.
?
Thinking of this, he grabbed the phone and answered the call from the Wuyang City Finance Bureau: "Hello? Lao Xu... I, Ying Ke... Well, don't I have something to trouble you with again... Yes
, the Sports Bureau wants to build a stadium, and it costs 4 million..."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, and after the person on the other side finished speaking, he continued in surprise: "What else? Are you afraid that you left all the Tang Empire's treasury deposits to me?"
"Ha! How is it possible? Where did you get such a big face... Where are you now? We do have 4 million. The Ministry of Finance has approved the stadium matter. This money is a special allocation. Your Majesty is very interested in improving the people's happiness index.
I have never been stingy about projects." The director of the Finance Bureau, known as Lao Xu over the phone, said with a smile.
As an old official of the Tang Dynasty Empire, Director Xu had naturally heard of the name of the Tang Dynasty Football Team. His Majesty the Emperor first formed a team, which was called the Tang Football Team for a period of time in the early years...
The record is truly disastrous.
Later, His Majesty the Emperor probably felt embarrassed, so he disbanded the football team, re-established a football club called Royal Chang'an, and asked the Egret Duke to start a domestic league.
It’s a pity that there are two football clubs in Chang’an, one is called Chang’an Egret and the other is called Royal Chang’an. So far, Royal Chang’an Club has never defeated Chang’an Egret Football Team once. What’s even worse is that this Royal Chang’an Club is now a member of the Datang Super League.
One of the best underdogs.
The Wuyang Stadium in front of us is probably prepared for football clubs in Qin. It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is still struggling. He hopes that there will be more teams to make Royal Changan's ranking look better.
Ying Ke, who still didn't know the joke about Royal Chang'an being invincible, hung up the phone in embarrassment, and then continued to read about the construction plan of Wuyang City Stadium.
Sure enough, what follows is a plan to form three teams, including a team from Guangmian, a team from Wuyang, and a team from Zhennan. All three teams will participate in the Super League.
League, such as the Super League of the Tang Empire, is almost the "Continental Cup" level competition in the Western Continent.
"Can this thing sell tickets?" Ying Ke, who knew that the people in Qin were so poor that they could hardly afford to wear pants, did not believe that this kind of stadium could make any profit.
What he didn't expect was that the Qin people, who were beaten dizzy on the battlefield, were surprisingly talented in football: In the future, the Wuyang Workers' Team beat Royal Chang'an 7-0 in the first year after its formation, and did so for five consecutive years.
Maintained unbeaten record against Royal Changan Club...
