Any official who wants to do some practical things would like more officialdom in the Tang Empire. Here they don't have to put most of their energy into 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 these two 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 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 personal 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, there were countless free orc laborers in the Tang Empire, so there were still people doing such horrible and tiring work.
Seeing the dirt-covered orcs 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 its exploitation and oppression of outsiders, it was even more cruel and ruthless than the slave-owning 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 made malicious speculations 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 there were really too many ways for officials of the Tang Empire 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 knew that they were broadcast on television. It seemed that the gymnasium could indeed enrich the leisure life of citizens.
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...
There are certainly benefits, and Ying Ke somewhat understands the logic. But this costs another 4 million... isn't it a bit too much? And isn’t this a place to play football? Is it 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? Didn't you leave all the Tang Empire's treasury deposits to me?"
"Ha! How is it possible? Where did you get such a big reputation... 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. projects. I have never been stingy." 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 Empire Football Team. His Majesty the Emperor first organized a football team, which was called the Tang Football Team for a period of time in the early years... The record was truly miserable.
Later, probably because His Majesty the Emperor felt embarrassed, 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 Royal Chang'an. So far, Royal Chang'an Club has never defeated Chang'an Egret Football Team once. What's even worse is that the Royal Chang'an Club is now one of the top underdogs in the Datang Super League.
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 more teams will make Royal Changan's ranking better.
Ying Ke, who didn't know that Royal Chang'an was invincible in a hundred battles, hung up the phone in embarrassment, and then continued to look at 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. In this way, the Super League of the Datang Empire will be 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, didn't 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 defeated Royal Chang'an 7-0 in the first year of its establishment, and had done so for five consecutive years. Maintained unbeaten record against Royal Changan Club...
