Early morning, the morning court begins every half month.

Wang Lang sat in the first seat and looked at the civil servants below and said in a deep voice: "The five ministries talk about the recent progress of work, let's start with the Ministry of Revenue!"

Kong Er hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, since the establishment of the Ministry of Revenue, the country has counted the population. Now there are more than 11,000 Chinese people in my country, including 5,300 middle-aged men, 4,200 middle-aged women, 200 children, and 1,500 elderly people."

"Did those prisoners of war be included?" Wang Lang asked in a deep voice.

"Those prisoners of war are not considered Chinese people, not included. There are a total of 3,000 prisoners of war. If included, our country's population has exceeded 15,000." Kong Er said respectfully.

Wang Lang nodded. He now ruled so much of the population. As long as there is no accident, under the policy of encouraging childbirth, and the joining of savages, the population is expected to exceed the 100,000 mark within ten years. This is definitely gratifying news.

"The Ministry of Revenue has done a good job. Next, we must arrange personnel in five cities and register the members of each household. We must ensure that all people in our country can find it in the Ministry of Revenue. You must use snacks for this." Wang Lang said slowly.

"I obey the order!" Kong Er bowed.

"Well, after all these, your Ministry of Revenue will be responsible for the country's money, grain and taxes in the future. This must be supervised. If I find someone deducts money and grain from it, I will definitely forgive you if it is confirmed." Wang Lang's face turned cold and stared at Kong Er.

"I will definitely not let this happen!" Kong Er felt sweat on his forehead and hurriedly assured Wang Lang.

Wang Lang waved his hand and asked Kong Er to retreat, saying, "What's the situation in the Ministry of Works recently?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, the Ministry of Works is recently working on the construction of two new cities. Now the walls of Dingyuan City have been basically completed, and the people in the near future can be moved."

Mu Feng said slowly.

"What's going on in Baoding City?"

"The progress of Baoding City has been much slower, and most of the prisoners are building Dingyuan City. The firing speed of brick kilns cannot keep up with the progress of construction, so a lot of progress has been delayed."

Wang Lang thought for a while and said, "If there is not enough manpower, you can recruit from the Chinese. If the Chinese want to participate in the construction, you can give five copper coins every day and take care of two meals. This can also improve the progress. If there is not enough brick kilns, you can build a few more buildings near the two cities. If there is not enough wood, you can send people here to transport them."

"Your Majesty, our Ministry of Works does not have that much money and food to pay for the Chinese people." Mu Feng said with a frown.

Wang Lang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Kong Er and asked, "How much money and food does the Ministry of Revenue have in Curry now!"

"Reply to Your Majesty! The Ministry of Revenue now has 30,000 guan of copper coins left (the one here is ten copper coins), and the grain is 100,000 jin!" Kong Er said hurriedly.

Wang Lang felt that the treasury was still sufficient, so he said to Kong Er: "Disburse 10,000 jin of copper coins from the treasury and 20,000 jin of grain to the Ministry of Industry."

"As for your order!"

Kong Er bowed and said.

"Mr. Minister of Works, these money and grain should be enough."

Mu Feng replied: "With this money and grain, Dingyuan City will definitely be built within one month."

Wang Lang nodded and said, "Very good, this matter must be carried out quickly. Now the population of the three cities is too crowded."

"As for your order!"

"Where is the Minister of Rites!"

Upon hearing this, Wuyun stood up and replied: "I am here!"

"Tell me about the situation of the Imperial Heavenly Prison!"

Wuyun replied: "The Imperial Heaven Supervision has started monitoring the celestial phenomena before the month. We found that there are thirty days in total. The moon was waxing and full. The previous month we set did not have a specific number of days, and it was about thirty days. I would like to ask Your Majesty to consider thirty days as a month!"

"Have you determined the number of days in January? Very good, just do as you wish! After a year is determined, a new astronomical calendar will be officially promulgated!" Wang Lang said with a smile.

"I will receive the order!"

After Mu Feng finished speaking respectfully, Wang Lang continued: "What happened recently in the Ministry of Justice!"

Kong Qitian replied: "Go back to Your Majesty, something really happened in Tongshan City half a month ago."

"Tell me!" Wang Lang was intrigued and asked curiously. He wanted to know what form the first case after the founding of Xia Kingdom began. This is definitely a case that can be recorded in history.

"Half a month ago, a soldier stationed in Tongshan City saw his wife and other men doing that kind of thing when he was taking a break. The soldier was very angry at the time. The woman was bought by him a lot of money a year ago. He thought that this woman belonged only to him like his own property. In anger, the man killed the man and woman on the spot." Kong Yi said slowly.

Wang Lang felt speechless, thinking that the first case with historical significance was a shocking case, but he didn't expect it to be such a bloody plot!

"Then how did your Ministry of Justice deal with this soldier!" Wang Lang asked.

"The soldier has been imprisoned and we are preparing to ask you what to do."

This is a typical case of adultery. He had written about such cases before when he was heading to the law.

He said, "I define this kind of case as an adultery case. Women who mated on their husbands should be executed according to the rules, but this can be carried out by the state to find out whether the soldier said it is true. If it is confirmed that this matter is true, the soldier will be sentenced to work for one year. If this situation still happens in the future, individuals are not allowed to kill people at will. The adulterer will be taken down on the spot and sent to the Ministry of Justice for disposal."

After Wang Lang finished speaking, the ministers began to talk in a low voice.

"Do you have any doubts?" Wang Lang asked.

At this time, a young minister stood up and said, "My minister, Shi Yuan, has something unknown to him."

This young man, Wang Lang, had some impression of the heaven sacrifice ceremony, which was his idea, and Wang Lang thought he was a very thoughtful young man.

"Shi Aiqing, what do you think?" Wang Lang smiled.

"When you go back to your Majesty, all adulterers have been executed. What should their descendants do? Nowadays, those with descendants are newborn children. If their parents are executed, wouldn't these children starve to death in vain!" Shi Yuan said respectfully.

Wang Lang frowned and thought about this issue. He had never thought about it. After thinking for a while, he said: "Take that soldier as an example, his descendants are raised by the state before his sentence expires, and can be returned to him after the period expires. If the adulterer has descendants, his descendants are also raised by the state, but they are not allowed to enjoy any welfare of the state in this life. After adulthood, taxes are collected according to the standards of officials. Taking this as an example, to warn the world that Shi Aiqing still has doubts!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Shi Yuan bowed and bowed.
