Li Hao's current state is similar to that of Li Xuan when he was young. At that time, the empire and the Ming Dynasty were fighting for hegemony and after unifying China, they were restoring people's livelihood. In those ten years, Li Xuan had always maintained a high-intensity workload and never There were too many things to do, and it was impossible for him to give up his power. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
The same was true for Li Hao. After a hurried dinner, he didn't leave the table yet, so he just picked up the report and looked at it. After briefly glancing at the title and outline, he stood up and walked around while holding the report in his hand and started reading.
Taking a walk to eat while reading reports has been Li Hao’s habit in the past year!
Walking and working without delay can save valuable time.
This is very important for Li Hao who is always short of time.
He was reading the report while walking. After briefly reading two pages, he was excited by the contents of the report.
Within five years, we will quintuple steel production and double pig iron production. This is a good thing, a great thing!
With the increase in steel production, many industries can now develop better. Especially in recent years, the shipbuilding industry has developed rapidly and the demand for steel is extremely huge.
The empire's shipbuilding industry uses steel on a large scale, and its production capacity is getting larger and larger. Now the annual production capacity has exploded to four to five million tons. Such a huge shipbuilding production capacity has a very large demand for steel.
However, the current steel production is limited and various industries use a lot of it, so there is still a shortage of steel in shipbuilding. This is also the reason why the growth rate of the shipbuilding industry has been slow in the past two years.
It’s not that there are no orders, there are, and there are quite a few.
That is, raw materials such as steel and parts such as steam units are not in supply.
If the problem of steel production capacity can be solved, the shipbuilding industry will definitely be able to move to a higher level. By then there will be more ships, and inland waterway transportation, offshore transportation, and ocean transportation will be able to develop faster, thus better serving the empire's overall economy. develop.
After briefly reading this report, Li Hao didn't feel anything. He felt that this was just an ordinary steel industry development report, and this report seemed to him to be good.
But soon he stopped walking, returned to the table, and read the report again.
Just now, he suddenly realized that if there were no problems with this report, why would his father send someone to deliver it to him in the evening and ask him to make a report tomorrow?
This matter is not normal. If it were just an ordinary report with no problems, my father would not send it specially, but would send it along with many other reports.
There must be something wrong with this report.
It's just that I haven't noticed it yet.
After calming down, he flipped through the report again. The content of this report was actually not much. It was just a simple report made by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises. It only lasted more than ten pages. It mainly reported on the future of the steel industry. The five-year development plan focuses on the development of several steel companies.
There isn't much extra content!
After reading it again, I still didn't find any problems.
At this time, Li Hao took a sip of tea and then closed his eyes slightly. At this time, his face no longer had any expression, and he was calm and cold.
He knew that he was in trouble!
His father threw a report over to him and asked him to make a report on it tomorrow, which meant that this report must have some profound meaning.
But I couldn't find any deep meaning!
What problem does the emperor want him to discover?
The steel industry is developing well, but then we need other industries to keep up? Don't delay economic development? No, the empire and various steel-related industries are developing very well.
Or should we be careful about the supply of iron ore and coal mines?
This is not right. There is no problem with the supply of iron ore and coal mines in the empire. Even if the production capacity is increased ten times or even a hundred times, there will be no problem. Not to mention the empire has a lot of iron ore and coal mines in the mainland and overseas territories. There are a lot of them. As long as the empire wants these minerals, the empire can develop them in minutes and then supply them to the mainland in large quantities.
So what exactly is the problem?
It is a pity that Li Hao, who has no concept of economic crisis or overcapacity, is just like the officials of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, completely unable to grasp the key points.
After thinking hard for more than an hour, Li Hao directly asked his secretary to call several people from Zhan Shifu over to discuss the matter.
Since I can't grasp the key points myself, I naturally ask others to discuss it together.
Like traditional dynasties, Li Hao's East Palace also has a huge organization, but most of the other organizations are useless logistical organizations, mainly to maintain the operation of the East Palace, and this part of the affairs is actually handled by the Palace Affairs Department. Taking over from the side.
The only real power institution in the East Palace is Zhan Shifu. Like the Hanlin Academy of the Tang Dynasty, this Zhan Shifu also has obvious characteristics of the Tang Dynasty, except that the name Zhan Shifu sounds like the name of the ancient dynasty. Except for the same, everything else is different.
Within this Zhanshifu, there is mainly the Zhanshifu Secretariat, as well as several other fictitious organizations that are of little use and mostly serve temporary positions.
This secretariat was actually modeled after the Secretariat of the Hanlin Academy. It mainly assisted Prince Li Hao in handling many government affairs. It was basically a private secretarial team.
As for other institutions, there are basically none.
This is not because Li Xuan is worried about the prince, but because it is unnecessary!
Li Xuan directly asked the prince Li Hao to handle government affairs. He was in charge of a certain department and directly intervened in the government affairs of the imperial study. Li Hao could openly discuss government affairs with the important officials of the court and directly use many agencies of the cabinet to assist in handling affairs.
But even so, Li Hao still attaches great importance to the secretariat of Zhan Shifu, which he has complete control over. The more than twenty secretaries in it were all listed by his father and then let him choose by himself.
I dare not say that everyone is to his liking, but basically everyone can see through it.
Soon, the four secretaries on duty from Zhan Shifu arrived. After these four people arrived, after the ceremony, Li Hao handed the report to them: "Take a look and see if there are any problems!"
Anyone who can serve as a secretary to the prince is naturally one of the first-class talents of the contemporary era. They are all from the Imperial College. During their schooling, they were all elites who could stand out from thousands of students. In terms of knowledge, IQ, and to be honest, ten Li Hao can't compare to them, well, this doesn't include things like knowledge and overall view.
The report was very simple, with only a dozen pages in total. They took turns reading it and finished reading it quickly. After reading it, these four elites from Imperial College were all silent and thoughtful.
