A large number of captured artillery shells were used as explosives to open mountains. Although it was not easy to use, it was successful because of the sufficient quantity. Loud noises were heard one after another, echoing in the valleys of the newly occupied areas of the Tang Empire.
At the same time, engineers from Tang State also arrived immediately and joined in the work of building bridges. Bridges were erected in many places, and more and more floating bridges were temporarily used.
Then came schools, schools for adults and schools for children, which were built one after another. After all, in the eyes of many officials of the Tang Dynasty, knowledge changes destiny, which is a tested and wise saying.
The Datang Empire opened schools at an alarming speed. They directly requisitioned the best local houses and then handed them over to the teachers in charge of school construction, letting them use them as they pleased.
Before the real school buildings were built, these former aristocratic mansions were all used for teaching. The adults were gathered together at night to learn various knowledge, and the children went to class during the day to receive education from the Tang Empire.
In short, make the best use of everything and treat the young people who are teachers as livestock. The labor laws of the Tang Empire are not very applicable to these teachers because they generally have to attend classes for about 14 hours a day.
Children have to learn various subjects, including mathematics and Chinese, as well as geography, history - especially history. Everyone has to learn the history of the Tang Empire, every detail starting from the time of Bunas.
At night, teachers have more things to teach. What adults want to learn is much more practical than what children learn. They need to use what they learn to make money to support their families.
Therefore, the teachers who teach these adults must also have certain hands-on practical skills, and sometimes they even use props to demonstrate how to use the industrial machinery and equipment from the Tang Empire.
However, their efforts were ultimately effective. Many people acquired more profitable skills and fundamentally improved local production efficiency.
The Tang Empire not only lacked workers, it also lacked skilled technical workers. Every factory was recruiting, and every factory hoped that it could immediately obtain skilled workers who could be put into production.
This kind of labor shortage will not be filled in a short time because the industrial level of the Tang Empire is still too low. Although there are highly industrialized areas such as Zhengdi, Qidi and Longdao, other areas were newly occupied
Once averaged, it's simply not enough.
According to Tang Mo's standards, the current Tang Empire is actually only at the level of China in the 1980s. It can only be said that it is about the same as the third brother of a certain big country in the East, and is nothing to be proud of.
He also wanted to continue to expand his industrial output and expand the production of various products to ensure that the people of Tang State lived a more prosperous life.
This is a very simple truth: cars are not yet affordable for ordinary people, televisions are far from popular, many areas do not have electricity, and water supply is also difficult.
Under such circumstances, there are still many things that the Tang Empire wants to do, and only after completing these, in Tang Mo's opinion, will the Datang Empire have the ability to continue to annex land.
If you don't feed your people and let them live a good life, no matter how much you go to other people's homes to burn, kill and loot, the final outcome will be death without a burial place.
In addition to workers, agriculture was the focus of restructuring for officials of the Tang Empire. According to the laws of the Tang Empire, all land was owned by the state, and the people only had the right to cultivate it.
Therefore, farmers in the Tang Empire only paid agricultural taxes, and also enjoyed the "agricultural subsidies" provided by the Tang Empire. This was designed to make up for the income gap caused by the scissor gap between workers and peasants, so that farmers could achieve self-sufficiency.
At the beginning, all farmers did not understand what this change meant, and they had not yet enjoyed their own benefits from this system.
Officials of the Tang Empire had to go around the streets to explain the details to every farmer in Qin, Shu, Chu, and Dahua, and then calculated the taxes they had to pay, and assured them that they would only pay
A sum of money is enough.
After repeatedly confirming that they did not need to pay extra money to any nobles or officials, as long as they farmed on time every year and accepted the supervision of the government, they only needed to pay less than one-tenth of the tax in the past, these people gradually accepted that they had already
The fact that they are from the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, they do not believe that as long as they pay their taxes on time in the fall, they will receive a "subsidy" that is more than the taxes paid. In the eyes of these farmers, the country does not need a penny from the country to farm their own land.
Also giving some extra money...this kind of thing is just a joke.
And those officials in the agricultural department of the Tang Empire didn't even bother to explain. When the time came, they would give it to the farmers and put real money and silver directly into their pockets, and they would never question their identity as citizens of the Tang Empire again.
In addition to these things, the Tang Empire is also carrying out a terrifying aid plan: more than 4 million tons of grain will be transported to the Tang Kingdom's new occupied areas to alleviate local famine.
Tang State's agricultural officials arrived at these places with a large amount of seeds and agricultural farming knowledge to help local farmers restore agricultural production.
In addition, 10 million items of various products were sent to these areas at the same time to revitalize the local economy that was devastated by the war.
With these grains, as well as these civilian products and supplies, local people can survive this summer, resume normal harvests in autumn, and return to normal life.
A large amount of candies, cigarettes, clothes and other supplies can greatly enrich the lives of people in the newly occupied areas, and products such as radios can also enrich the spiritual world of these people.
Under the subtle influence of their ears and eyes, the locals will soon consider themselves Tang people, and in the process of continuous profits, they will identify with this new identity.
It won't be long before the people in these places will truly become the subjects of the Tang Empire, and at the same time they will become Tang Mo's power. This power is like an arm and a finger, allowing Tang Mo to mobilize ten times and a hundred times the manpower and material resources in the future.
, to launch the unification war across the endless sea.
In fact... another reason why Tang Mo did not continue to expand is that he has not yet thought about it. If he really unified the entire world, then to whom could he dump his products, his arms... to?
If the world is truly unified, the whole world is under his control, Tang Mo, and the whole world is the territory of the Tang Dynasty...then, is there no need for weapons?
