"Well, pay attention to the military department, Liu An's side sent a small force of 500 people, specifically responsible for protecting the fields of the Agricultural Research Institute, the fields of the Agricultural Research Institute were allocated 2,000 mu from the state-owned land in advance, and they chose to use saplings to build a protective wall around the area covered by the spiritual spring water to the west of Yumen Pass." Huo Gang explained again.

"Yes." Wang Shan immediately agreed.

"By the way, since you have talked about your Ministry of Agriculture and Land Resources, your task next year is to select some students from among those who are good at physics and chemistry, and then find people who have studied more deeply in prospecting from the private sector to study and lead the team, and then re-explore all the minerals in our territory." Huo Gang explained again.

"Understood!"

Minister Shi continued. Huo Gang nodded.

"Yes, the data of the Ministry of Agriculture has been counted, and next year our department will redesign the detailed data of the Ministry of Agriculture. Shi Wannian raised his head and said with a smile.

"Minister Shi rest assured, I will personally explain this matter next year." Wang Shan immediately nodded.

"Now let's talk about our industrial data, this year we have a total of 5 million tons of iron, of which about 500,000 tons of steel, most of the steel is applied to reinforced concrete buildings, according to the Ministry of Industry currently given the planning data, next year, we will make 20 million tons of iron, steelmaking will exceed 3 million tons." Shi Wannian said seriously.

As soon as this number came out, everyone gasped, Dahan has been implementing a new weights and measures for a year, and everyone has a very clear concept of tons, one ton is equivalent to more than 16 stones in Datang, and three million tons of steel means close to 50 million stone steel in Datang! Don't say 50 million in the entire Datang, not even 1 million steel!

And the amount of iron smelting is even more terrifying, 20 million tons of iron, doesn't that mean hundreds of millions of stones?

Except for a small number of weapons, most of the steel production in the entire Han Dynasty is used for construction, and for a country, steel is really a minority of use. As for the huge production of iron tools, in fact, it is mainly private, such as all kinds of agricultural tools, as well as folk knives, as well as seeding machines and other things, as well as a large number of parts built of cast iron.

These are actually not the best to use steel, the main thing is that the cost of steel is too high and unnecessary.

"Hmm." Huo Gang nodded, and he didn't say anything about this number.

"Next year, according to our plan, the construction of roads is planned to be about 1,500 kilometers, if the whole year is completed, all major cities in our entire Dahan territory will be connected by concrete official roads, which will be of great benefit to our material transfer and other programs."

"Road construction is a priority, and then we may have a new road to build." Huo Gang thought for a while and said.

"Yes!"

Next, Shi Wannian talked about the various expenditures in Dahan, such as the salaries of personnel, etc., at present, the main expenses of Dahan must be the salaries of various personnel, as well as rescue inputs and other expenditures.

However, these expenditures are not so terrible, because almost all of the money spent is left in the territory of Dahan, and Dahan's economy is actually improving wildly, and it doesn't matter if the government owes money, it mainly depends on whether you have good products.

"Well, everyone has already heard these numbers, Wu Ping." Huo Gang nodded and spoke.

"Chief." Wu Ping immediately nodded.

"Starting next year, even if your cabinet is officially in operation, most of the things will be left to you to solve, unless you encounter a major matter, I will not dictate your daily work." Huo Gang said, "This is the first year, it is impossible not to make mistakes in the first year, I only have one requirement for you, in the first year, it is okay to make mistakes, but all mistakes must be recorded and summarized, and then in the second year, I hope you will not make them again." ”

"Yes!" Wu Ping agreed directly.

"Well, from today onwards, a separate Ministry of Construction will be set up, with Wang Luolai as the minister, and our construction tasks in the next few years will be very heavy, the Ministry of Construction is responsible for coordinating the construction tasks of the whole country, and the construction firm is still running alone."

"By the way, starting from this year, all the commercial banks will operate independently, for example, the steel mills in the industrial city will set up state-owned commercial banks, and these commercial banks will also trade with each other and carry out commercial operations normally."

"Including iron mines, coal mines, etc., corresponding commercial banks must be established, except for some commercial banks that are difficult to make profits in the early stage, other commercial banks have begun to bear their own profits and losses." Huo Gang said.

The advantages and disadvantages of state-owned commercial banks Huo Gang naturally knows, this year's first transportation commercial bank and other operations have experience, next to Xia Zhu immediately said: "Yes, the Ministry of Commerce has carried out a corresponding assessment of these aspects, what we lack most now is financial personnel, if each commercial bank operates alone, these financial personnel are very important." ”

"I know this, the Ministry of Education will pay close attention to the relevant training of personnel in this winter, and you will also send some financial personnel for professional training."

"Yes!"

"Let's talk about the work of the Ministry of Agriculture next year, the work of the Ministry of Agriculture next year is the top priority, and it needs the cooperation of various departments, you will discuss it yourself later, this is the first test of your cabinet, and I will only talk about your tasks here."

"Yes."

"First of all, there are different spice planting, these spices can be planted experimentally by the Agricultural Research Institute next year, and then promoted, but the most important thing is that Chinese cabbage, soybeans, potatoes, radish vegetables can be partially promoted this year, of course, the most important strategy affecting us is the promotion of cotton."

"Cotton is suitable for planting in Changlezhou, and it will be promoted in various villages in Changlezhou next year, but there is one point, the first year of cotton planting will be given a guaranteed purchase price per mu, and the guaranteed purchase price can be paid to the people in advance, and the price shall not be lower than the price of wheat per acre, and the yield of this wheat will be increased by 20% according to the average yield of Changlezhou."

"In addition, some state-owned land has also been selected between Yumen Pass and Yangguan for cotton planting and good seed improvement." Huo Gang said.

"Yes."

"Well, after the cotton harvest next year, the Ministry of Industry will record that cotton can be appropriately added to the paper for experiments, and the research and development of new currency paper cannot be stopped."

"Yes." Yang Wu also nodded.

"In addition, some commercial banks in the industrial city will inevitably go out to build factories in other areas this year, in this case, some construction work can be handed over to private commercial banks to do, the Ministry of Commerce allows the opening of private commercial banks, but there is one point, cement and reinforced concrete can allow them to operate, but these things are not allowed to circulate for the time being." Huo Gang said directly.

"Yes." Xia Zhu nodded again, they must use the law to solve the problem in this regard.

"Other than that, is there anything else that needs to be addressed in various departments, but I don't know." Huo Gang looked around and asked.

Liang Shuo, who was sitting below, immediately raised his hand.

"Minister Liang, please speak." Huo Gang said directly, Liang Shuo's work in the Ministry of Justice is very good, and now the work of the entire Ministry of Justice has been handed over to Liang Shuo, I don't know if it's because of his previous experience, now Liang Shuo is doing judicial work is very iron-faced and selfless, and almost doesn't make friends with anyone.

At least for now, as for the future, no one can guarantee it, it can only be taken one step at a time.

"The chief is about the marriage law in the first step of our Han Code." Liang Shuo said.

"What's the problem?" Huo Gang was a little stunned, the first code also has a marriage law, but this marriage law is much less than the modern marriage law, at least it is in line with this era, the marriage law stipulates that a man can marry a wife and five concubines.

This amount is not stipulated by Huo Gang, but stipulated in this new set of laws given by Yumen Pass, which is much stricter than that of the Tang Dynasty, at least the Tang Dynasty's wives and concubines, such as concubines, as long as you have the ability, you can marry as many as you want.

However, Datang also seems to have regulations for his wife.

Or to be precise, all the laws in China from ancient times to the present are monogamous, yes, they have been monogamous since ancient times, of course, concubines and wives are different, wives have the right to figure it out with their husbands, and the same is true here in Dahan, Dahan's marriage law stipulates that if there is a conflict between husband and wife, they can be reconciled.

However, concubines do not have such rights, concubines can only be cultivated, of course, it is not completely without other rights, for example, some threats to personal safety can still be turned to, but this thing is almost difficult to define in ancient times, but the marriage law is such a provision, Huo Gang naturally will not say anything.

And the concubine does not have any right to inherit the family property or the like, and the children born to the concubine have a certain inheritance right, the entire marriage law Huo Gang has seen it, compared with modern times, it is naturally not necessary, but with the Tang Dynasty, the protection of women in this marriage law is still very in place.

It stands to reason that this set of laws is much less likely to have problems than other laws, so why did Liang Shuo raise this question in the first place.

"First, it's about the age of marriage, chief, although there are no clear regulations on the Tang side, half of the women can get married and have children after the age of 13, but the age stipulated by our Han is 16 years old, this, our population is relatively small, it is when the population is needed, does this article need to be modified?" Liang Shuo asked.
