Alien Arms Empire

Many corrupt officials once had their own ideals and ambitions, but they failed to withstand the temptation and ultimately chose to fall.

This may not be accurate. In addition to temptation, the briber actually has too many methods, and inducement is just one of them. Sometimes coercion or even coercion is an option.

From Tang Mo's point of view, such bribers were actually destroying the officials he had carefully trained, almost poaching the empire.

So he seriously considered whether to impose a heavy penalty for bribery, so that those bastards who were willing to spend money to corrupt imperial officials could also enjoy his methods.

Frankly speaking, in an empire, some shady departments are fully capable of making a person feel that life is worse than death as long as the emperor acquiesces.

However, his legal adviser reminded him that if the briber was also punished with the same crime, then the briber and the briber would form an unbreakable alliance, hiding from each other, making it more difficult to solve the case, and reducing the possibility of reporting and betraying each other.

Everything has two sides, so Tang Mo had to think carefully whether changing the law would cause trouble for himself, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

Fortunately, he still has some special departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If he is really angry, he can order You Lin to find some other excuses and send those damn bribers to the guillotine.

A country under the emperor's system is flexible at the legal level, but as a country decays, this flexibility gradually begins to change towards serving the privileged class.

In the latest year, the Tang Empire's production capacity of steel, oil, rubber, electricity, etc. has increased, and it has increased a lot: after occupying such a vast land, various indicators will naturally become more.

Although it will take time to integrate the work in various regions, resuming production is indeed the common wish of all people.

After ensuring food production and beginning to eliminate famine on a large scale, all indicators in the Tang State were developing for the better. Everywhere is busy and under construction. It feels like the 1950s in China.

Everyone is full of energy, and the environment where you can make money no matter what you produce also encourages all workers in disguise. Unlike China back then, Tang Mo had so many new technologies that could be developed, and there were no bottlenecks or restrictions on Tang's technological development.

With the support of technology, almost all regions have gained new economic growth points. Officials everywhere are busy lifting people out of poverty and becoming rich, seizing the time to make money, and have no time to consider other issues.

However, even though more than half a year has passed, traces of the war can still be seen in many corners of the Tang Empire.

This land was once devastated, and the walls of many buildings still have mottled bullet marks. Although they have been painted several times, those small pits still record the brutality of the battle at that time.

Many of the buried bomb craters had to be dug up, and new sewer systems and civil defense systems had to be built. Streets that were not originally spacious have become congested due to construction. Too many urban constructions have been rolled out at the same time, making many cities seem to have entered a state of war again.

Some cars that had been forcibly requisitioned by the Qin army were temporarily assigned to various regions. These cars were soon paralyzed due to lack of parts and components, and then were abandoned in the corners of certain factories, corroded by time and becoming rusty. . Some of those cars didn't even have doors, some had engines with only dozens of horsepower, and some even had wooden wheels.

These industrial wastes that were crazily produced before the fall of the Qin State finally began to be scrapped on a large scale after persisting for more than half a year.

The vacancies left after these cars were scrapped forced the Tang Empire to frantically expand its automobile industry. In the end, Tang decided to build another large automobile factory in Qingluan Port to expand Tang's annual automobile production capacity by another 100 million vehicles. …

Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of nearby people. Building new automobile factories is a long-term plan. In the near future, everyone can only find ways to solve the problem of lack of automobile transportation capacity.

As a result, many ridiculous things happened during this period: There were two paralyzed and scrapped cars in two villages. Now everyone discussed it and simply pieced the two cars together to repair one that could be used. , and then the two villages continued to make do.

In other places, some craftsmen with some ability are found to hand-knead the parts for temporary use. And the value of craftsmen who can make simple parts has doubled in a short time, and sometimes they are even too busy to take a rest.

It would be more convenient if you are close to the core developed areas of Tang State, or if you have friends and connections. They directly wrote letters asking their friends to find connections so that workers in large factories in Tongcheng or Linshui could help process some parts from scrap materials, so as to ensure that the cars in their hands could be barely used.

Anyway, it was like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers. For a time, many places in the Tang Dynasty and the cars running on the streets exuded the wasteland atmosphere of post-modern cyberpunk.

You can see wooden doors and trucks with bamboo mats as roofs on the streets of a certain city. You can also see an old Qin truck parked on the side of the street with the unit number painted on the engine hood.

The world is such a fantasy. When the subway in Chang'an was opened and people started taking the electric subway to work, in another part of the same country, incandescent lamps were not yet completely popular.

It’s no joke. After occupying the Qin State, the officials of the Tang State were surprised to find that many poor areas in the Qin State had no electricity!

In order to improve life in these areas as soon as possible and keep up with the development pace of the Tang Empire, the first thing the new local officials had to do was to find a way to bring the power grid to the doorsteps of these people who had never used electric lights in their lives.

There is no way, after all, if the common people hear the broadcasts of Datang Empire Radio earlier, they will be subtly affected earlier, and it will be easier for them to accept their new identity as subjects of the Datang Empire.

With electricity, agricultural production can be more efficient... New problems have followed. More electricity consumption has led to insufficient electricity production capacity. The local infrastructure is really poor and there are really too few power plants. .

As a result, Tang Mo had to allocate money again and built 30 super-large thermal power plants, 4 super-large hydropower plants, and 57 medium-sized hydropower plants in the west.

It's a pity that it's the same sentence. Far water can't quench the near thirst. Development still takes time. The Tang Kingdom's time to rule the Western Continent is still short, so they have to continue to increase investment.
