Xia Kingdom, Tianqi City, the end of the month meeting.

It was the end of June, and the first season of rice this year had been harvested for a month, and the grain in Xia Country had been alleviated to a certain extent.

"Your Majesty, the half-year deadline has arrived, but the goal of adding 50,000 new people has not been achieved. I hope you will punish me!" Yang Zhong said nothing at the meeting, and walked to the aisle and bent down to apologize!

The country was established in early March, and at the end of March, a plan to add 50,000 new people was formulated in half a year, but due to war and indigenous reasons, there was not enough food to achieve it!

Yang Song frowned and asked, "Let's not talk about the punishment or not. In three months, how many new people have been added?"

Yang Zhong bent over and bowed and apologized, waiting for Yang Song's hair to fall. After hearing the Lord's inquiry, he replied: "Go back to Lord, I have summoned more than 10,000 in March!"

There are only more than 20,000 people. Including the original, the total population of Xia Kingdom is less than 80,000!

Even if there are 30,000 indigenous laborers who consume food, they will have to increase by 20,000 people.

Yang Song sighed and sighed in his heart: "Hey, there are really no talents!" Even if he has a system, there is only one person, and he can't finish everything alone!

Yang Zhong has the ability, but he is still lacking in flexibility and timing, and there is no problem with execution, but he just doesn’t have any decision-making ability!

Yang Song thought about Yang Zhong’s past experience and thought to himself: “With this ability now, being a county-level management is already at its peak!”

The current Xia Kingdom covers a size of one county, but the population under its jurisdiction is only one county!

After developing for a while, Yang Zhong's ability will soon be unable to keep up with the development speed of Xia's country, and now there are already this sign.

Now Yang Song hopes that the system will reward him with a group of talents immediately. He thought that when a country is established, the system should have a batch of rewards, but he guessed wrongly.

There was no reward for such a big incident, which made him even more inaccurate in the systematic rules, although he had never figured it out!

Yang Song thought about this and waved to Yang Zhong, saying, "I will talk about the crime in the future, and today's court meeting will be held first!"

"As for your order!" Yang Zhong bowed to Yang Song again and returned to his seat in a depressed manner.

After Yang Zhong returned to his seat, he opened the record book he brought and reported: "Your Majesty! Half of the newly built town in the north have been built, and the rest will be completed within two months!"

This is when he began to report on the changes in Xia Kingdom in recent times.

"There are 10,000 people in Tianqi City, but there is no change; the Haijun Town in the east has more than 5,000 people; the Industrial Town in the northwest has more than 10,000 people; the Gufeng Town in the southeast has nearly 30,000 people; the Mushou Town in the south has more than 10,000 people; the Lincai Town in the west has more than 5,000 people."

Yang Song nodded and signaled to continue. After Yang Zhong reported on the population of each town, he continued to report.

"Haijun Town has a salt drying farm to reclaim 30,000 mu of land; Industrial Town has hydraulically driven textile factories, iron smelting plants, paper mills, glass factories, ceramic factories, various mining farms, etc.; Gufeng Town has now reclaimed more than 200,000 mu of land; Mushou Town has various breeding farms and pastures, and has also reclaimed 50,000 mu of land; Lincai Town's main business is logging, and nearly 10,000 mu of forests have been cut down; Finally, there are various workshops and buildings in Tianqi City, and 50,000 mu of land have been reclaimed around it!"

Yang Zhong just reported the main information, and he didn't say more about the detailed information of other industries, otherwise he would not even finish it in the last day and night.

Nowadays, the Xia Kingdom can be said to be "small sparrows, all the internal organs". There are basically all the things that should be, but there are still old problems, not too many, and there are too few people. Some industries such as the gold and silver jewelry store, and there is even only one in the country!

Next, other departments also made reports because this meeting was a mid-year summary!

Zhu Xi of the Education Bureau reported that the village-level schools have been built, but there is a teacher. In some villages, there is even one teacher. This teacher doesn’t know that he has to handle academic affairs, but he also has to teach students many courses such as literature, mathematics, and physical education! - This is really a job to train people!

Qian Liang from the Qian Bureau reported on the national taxes and expenses over the past six months. Overall, the expenses were greater than taxes. Especially the war against the Southern Barbarians not long ago, it was even more costly, and the loopholes could only be subsidized by various mining resources.

Fortunately, the national finance still has the characteristics of semi-public ownership. In other words, in other words, in other words, in general, no matter what, it is: using Yang Song, the monarch's "private" property to fund the government and fill the gap! - This is really just one person has supported half a piece of the sky!

There is nothing to say about other departments, so I will report it regularly as usual: the legal drafting of the Law Bureau and the Inspection Bureau, the crime rate; the Science and Technology Bureau is short of personnel as usual; the daily work of the Propaganda Bureau and the Back Protection Bureau...

Then there are various detailed reports under the Executive Department: water conservancy, bridges, and transportation construction of the post office; new population, deaths, marriage and other data statistics of the Civil Affairs Bureau; public security situation of the Health Bureau; commercial development of the Commercial Bureau; medical epidemic prevention of the Medical Bureau...

Finally, after these departments reported in a scattered manner, most of the day had passed.

At the end, Yang Song asked Li Ju, director of the Military Industry Bureau, who was responsible for the manufacturing of ordnance, and said, "Li Ju! How is the weapon manufacturing and reserves going on?"

The form of Xia Kingdom is a bit bad now. The four red territories in the north remind him that it is time to prepare for war now!

Moreover, the caravan led by Zhou Wu and Changsun Sheng were blocked in the far north. Even if they bought the food, they could not transport it back!

Therefore, the approaching battle is inevitable!

Li Ji stood up and bowed and replied, "Your Majesty! There are more than 10,000 conventional weapons, 5,000 sets of various armors, 20,000 sets of battle robes, and ten trial artillery pieces!"

When Yang Song heard that there was a cannon, he asked happily: "Oh? He actually tried to produce ten cannons, what was the result?"

Li Ju replied: "Your Majesty, the field artillery that was imitated by all ten cannons has reached the standard. Its power is just because of the material, it is a little heavier, and the total cannon weighs 700 kilograms!"

After so long, Xia Kingdom was finally able to create its own artillery. Yang Song remembered that the field artillery of the Infantry Brigade was only 600 kilograms, and this trial-made artillery had more than 100 kilograms, but it didn't matter. As long as it could be used, it would be difficult to maneuver if it was heavy, and it could also be used to defend the city.

Yang Song waved his hand and signaled that it was not hindered, saying, "It doesn't matter. As long as it can be used, it's enough to make another batch immediately. Don't need too many. First, collect twenty-seven cannons from a squadron. This batch of cannons should be used to defend the city, and the name is the city cannon!"

He thought that the weight of the artillery would definitely have an impact on the combat effectiveness of the army, so he instructed: "The weight of the artillery is still a problem. Continue to develop it and try to reduce the weight!"

Li Ji took the order and said, "Yes, I obey the order!" After that, he sat down.

As for those conventional weapons, the output of the arsenal has accumulated over the years.

Yang Song looked at the tired officials. He was tired after so long after the meeting, but he had no choice but to do anything. He still had to do what he should do.

He took a deep breath and said with great strength: "Everyone, the forces outside the northern pass seem to have a covetous heart for their own country. I hope you can work hard with me in this difficult time!"

"No~!"
Chapter completed!
