Imagine the world

Huazhenxing pointed to the map and said, "Yes! As long as all the investments within the scope of the drawing line, no matter how the equity relationship is established, [-]% belong to Feng Zibin, and no matter how the future develops, no equity will be dispersed. If Outside this scope, such as investment in other places in Fesso Port, cooperation can be considered, and there is no need to be restricted by this.”

Attorney Dong: "It's totally unnecessary, and it doesn't conform to modern business principles and market laws."

Mo Shangtong waved his hands and said, "You don't need to say this, just follow this request."

Attorney Dong: "Why?"

Mo Shangtong said vaguely: "Looking at the long-term, let's avoid some troubles in the future. I just ask you, can this be done?"

Attorney Dong seemed to want to say something, but in the end he had no choice but to say: "Yes, it is theoretically possible. In places like the Kai Mai Islands and the Metropolitan Islands, you can set up a sole proprietorship company, and then go to the Fesuo port to register. A wholly owned subsidiary will do.

It is also possible to register an individual company in the country. I also recommend not to use this kind of company to do business directly. It is also to register the next-level wholly-owned subsidiary. You can also appropriately cross-share and register the third-level subsidiary. "

Mo Shang nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it like this! We are now formulating the names of these companies... Xiaohua, what is the name of the most important core company?"

Hua Zhenxing replied without thinking, "Huanxiang Industry!"

The principle was settled in this way, and several adults discussed the details again. Huazhenxing stood aside and listened carefully. According to what he heard, he silently calculated in his heart what information to check next and talk to them about it. things as clear as possible.

In the end, Yang Tehong took out [-] meters of gold and handed it over to Dong Zegang: "These are for management, save some money, everything is premised on being able to get things done. If anyone deliberately makes things difficult, they will not act according to the current laws of the country. , it's too much, you just say it."

Dong Zegang took the money and said, "So much is enough here. Please rest assured, I will also provide details of other expenditures besides public accounts."

There are formal procedures for going through various procedures, and of course various expenses such as deed tax will be involved, including the remuneration to Lawyer Dong. These are well documented and included in the 1000 million meter gold budget.However, if we want to complete it in the shortest possible time, we may need to make some connections. The [-]-meter gold cash, old man Yang, is the master of Hua Zhenxing, and he plans to spend it in this place.

[-] meters of gold is already a huge sum of money in Feiso Port, which is enough in theory. Isn't it just buying a piece of land according to legal procedures.And as far as Yang Tehong knows, the local government of Fesuo Port is very short of money now. Some people are willing to buy the wasteland that is flooded every year.

When lawyer Dong left, he also took the document bag containing the transfer procedures for the manor.

It was getting late, of course, Huazhenxing made dinner, and when they were finished, they packed up, and the three old men did not know where they went.He also hurried upstairs, wanting to study the new toy he just got, and pushed open the door of the workshop, only to find Mo Shangtong sitting there waiting for him, with a pile of scattered natural gold nuggets on the table.

Hua Zhenxing was a little surprised: "Master, are you waiting for me?"

Mo Shangtong nodded: "Yes, do you remember what I said today?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Remember, which sentence are you referring to?"

Mo Shangtong: "The way you perceive things is different, and the way you touch and process things is also different!"

Hua Zhenxing: "Did you come to remind me of this on purpose? Why did you bring so much money?"

He planned to seal the five-meter-long tunnel that Ding Qi forcibly cut out, but Mo Shangtong stopped him.Mo Shangtong also went in and fiddled with it for a long time. He continued to dig deeper and mined a lot of dog head gold, confirming that there is indeed a rare natural gold bonanza, and they just dug to the tip of the lode.

Mo Shangtong cleaned up the traces of the excavation, and together with Ding Qi, he moved a few boulders to seal the hole. He also said that he would do a more secure treatment later. These gold nuggets should have been dug up last night. Uncle Mo has gained a lot.

Mo Shangtong: "Kefuzi taught you the art of plastic surgery today, and also pointed out the image of your primordial spirit, right?"

"Yes!" Hua Zhenxing suddenly guessed something when he answered. Old man Yang showed his skill in flying noodles today, and Master Ke also showed his stunt. Could it be that Mr. Mo couldn't hold back his loneliness and didn't want to be compared by those two old men? , so also show unique skills?He quickly asked again, "Do you want to teach me anything?"

Mo Shangtong did not speak, reached out and grabbed a handful of broken gold nuggets, and closed his eyes after holding it in the palm of his hand.Hua Zhenxing didn't say a word, and felt what he was doing, but found that his divine sense couldn't penetrate Uncle Mo's hand.One old and one young, sitting and standing, just kept silent. After about ten minutes, Mo Shangtong finally opened his eyes and palms.

Hua Zhenxing found that the handful of broken gold particles had been crushed into a whole piece the size of a lychee by Uncle Mo. What a great deal of strength!Could it be that Master Mo just wanted to teach him to pinch gold after Master Ke taught him to pinch his face today?

When I looked again, I found that something was wrong. The color of the gold nugget had changed, it was obviously whitish, and it was closer to the texture of crunchy rock.At this time, he was able to investigate with his divine sense, and Hua Zhenxing discovered that it was actually a layer of impurities on the outside, and the inside was pure gold.

Chapter 047

Mo Shangtong didn't explain anything. He squeezed the impurity shell and it shattered into powder. Only a piece of pure gold remained in his hand. Only then did he open his mouth and said, "Do you understand?"

Hua Zhenxing praised: "You are really amazing, you can make pure gold with your bare hands!" At the same time, he muttered in his mind, yesterday Teacher Ding turned into a humanoid excavator, and today Uncle Mo turned into a human alchemist.

Mo Shangtong said indifferently: "It's not a big deal. As far as I know, Lao Yang has performed charging with bare hands for you. You still can't learn charging with bare hands, but you can try alchemy with bare hands. After training to the third floor, this is also a form of exercise, under the premise of safety, try to exhaust the spirit every time, but not hurt the body."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave, Hua Zhenxing said quickly, "But I still don't know how!"

Uncle Mo didn't teach him how to do it at all, where would he go?Mo Shangtong turned around in front of the door and said, "After Kefuzi taught you the art of plastic surgery, did you ask if he didn't teach you hand in hand, could you figure it out for yourself?"

Hua Zhenxing: "He asked."

Mo Shangtong: "I know what he does! You can figure it out for yourself. I will regularly send you natural crushed gold in person until you practice pure gold. As for the refined gold, Just treat it as your pocket money, you can use it however you want."

After Mo Shangtong left, Hua Zhenxing sat in the room in a daze.It seems that this alchemy is not the same as the plastic surgery, it does not need to be taught by anyone, as long as the nurturing art reaches the third level, it can be mastered by itself.

Ke Fuzi first taught the plastic surgery, and said such words, it was a kind of inspiration and reminder, and then Uncle Mo came again, just to encourage him to try to explore.Taking the urine of the three old men in the family, this is equivalent to telling him that now he can do a lot of things that he couldn't do before, but how to do it?

At this time, he heard the prompt sound in the depths of his consciousness in a trance, focused on the summoning system, and came to a new mission——

Task [-]: Refine pure gold equal to yourself, don't let Uncle Mo always help you dig gold mines, find a way to get the source of mine gold.

Rewards: get pure gold equal to oneself; master the method of refining divine consciousness; and control a firm engaged in gold intermediary business.

This quest is interesting. The first reward is the result of completing the quest, and the method of refining spiritual consciousness should be the way to refine gold.As for the firm engaged in the gold intermediary business, I am afraid he needs to do it himself.

There are many small gold mines in Jili, and every rainy season, many people go to the riverbed of Fesuo River to pan for gold.The mined gold or unrefined crude gold that they scoured for was purchased by specialized firms. For example, Huazhenhang knew that a firm doing this kind of business was called Jindianhang.

Jindianxing is one of the largest pawnshops in the area. In name, it is mainly engaged in pawnshop business, but it is actually a place where many people sell stolen goods.There are many local people who like to steal things, and even many people do not have the concept of being ashamed of it.The stolen items are kept for their own use, and some valuables are taken to the pawnshop to sell.

It is said that it is a pawn, but in fact it will not be redeemed. It is a means of selling stolen goods, which is convenient and quick to get money.But Jindianxing's biggest source of profit is the acquisition of unrefined natural gold.

Simply measure the purity and set a price. After the crude gold is purchased, Jindianxing will refine and process it into standard gold bars, and then put its own logo on it.There are two kinds of standard gold bars they process, one is a small gold bar of 25 ounces each, and the other is a large gold bar of [-] ounces each, which is almost equivalent to [-] catties.

There are five local banks in Fesso Port. Except for the Bank of Liguo, the other four banks are from the United States, Yinguo, Xiluozhou and Dongguo, while the branch of Dongguo Bank has only been established in the past two years. established.These banks are all in the business of gold, inspecting and buying pure gold at the purchase price they set.

The standard gold bars produced by Jindianxing are not only purchased by financial institutions, but also collected by many local bigwigs. It is a better hard currency than a few miles.

However, local financial institutions do not accept unrefined scattered mined gold, and small-scale gold prospectors do not have the means to refine pure gold, so they can only sell to middlemen like Jindianxing, and the purchase price is very low.This kind of business is not something that just anyone can do. The force behind Jin Dianxing is the largest gang in that area, and its name is called the Golden Gang.

Why did Jin Datou call himself Jin Datou at the beginning, not only because his head was really big, but the ideal in his heart was to have the wealth of the Golden Gang one day.It's a pity that Jin Datou died before his ambition was paid, and he had no chance.

The number of gang members of the Golden Gang is not much larger than that of the Big Head Gang, but it is well-capitalized, well-equipped, and has other backers behind it.It seems that the system arranges this task reward to imply that he can get rid of the Golden Gang by the way in the process of completing the task, which coincides with the previous task "Reform and Control the Big Head Gang".

Through the content displayed by the system, Huazhenxing deduced so much information, and couldn't help but smile, but he couldn't smile again after thinking about it. He realized a very serious problem, and quickly took out his mobile phone and turned on the calculator.

The task of the system is to "refine gold equal to one's own body". Hua Zhenxing's weight is 68 kilograms, and the density of the human body is about the same as that of water, while the density of gold is [-] times that of water. The gold weighed at least [-] tons.

God, is he going to extract so much pure gold, will he be exhausted?Even if you are not exhausted, when will it be completed?Just now, he secretly thought that Uncle Mo had acted as a human body alchemist, but unexpectedly, the real human body alchemist became himself. As expected, he is a kind person, and he can't complain!

When Hua Zhenxing was complaining, in the backyard downstairs, Mo Shangtong grabbed Ke Mengchao's collar and shouted, "Do you want to exhaust Xiaohua to death?"

Yang Tehong also grabbed the other side of his collar and said, "You said that the two of us shouldn't make this system for Xiaohua on our own, why did you come in and release the task? You have extracted so much pure gold, do you want Xiaohua to do this? Did Hua lose money in his eyes?"

The three old men reached an agreement yesterday. In the future, no matter who issues a task to Huazhenxing in the name of the system, they must simultaneously let others know that the task just now was released by Ke Mengchao.

Ke Mengchao: "Don't be rude, this is tempering! Do you understand tempering? Work hard on your mind and bones!"

Yang Tehong: "Are you still going to starve and starve yourself? This is clearly child abuse!"

Ke Mengchao: "You are exaggerating. When have I abused Xiaohua? Besides, he is not a child."

Mo Shangtong said reluctantly, "Don't sing a high profile, why is the mission so exaggerated?"

Ke Mengchao finally bowed his head and said, "With a single thought, I wanted him to refine gold as heavy as himself, but I felt that the exercise was not enough, so I changed my mind... This is not a bad thing."

Xiaohua upstairs hurt his brain for a long time, and finally shook his head and decided not to worry about it. Tip, how to act depends on their own will.

He picked up a small nugget of gold from the table, held it in the palm of his hand like Uncle Mo, and closed his eyes intently.Although he can't see it, his spiritual sense can detect the tiny gold particles very clearly, and the primordial spirit's heart appears naturally, it is such a very irregular piece of natural gold.

After Ke Fuzi's guidance, he already knew how to use the primordial spirit image, just like he used to summon the system in his consciousness, so isn't it also a prototype of the primordial soul image?If he wants to, he can even turn the so-called system into a manifested task book in the heart image of Yuanshen, and he can enter and read it when he has nothing to do.

The heart image of the primordial spirit can be freely transformed, for example, a small grain of gold can theoretically be enlarged to such as a hill or a planet, and its most subtle internal structure can be seen.But in fact, it is impossible to exaggerate, especially for Hua Zhenxing, his consciousness is still weak, and his Yuanshen is not so strong.

If you have to force the transformation, it is likely to exceed the boundary between the virtual and the real.At this moment, the image of the primordial spirit comes from the perception of the real mine gold by the divine sense.If you want to change your mental image beyond this level, it will become an imagination that is divorced from reality, and what appears in your primordial spirit is an illusion.

At this time, Hua Zhenxing was still unclear. Master Mo asked him to start refining his Yuanshen from pure gold. In fact, it was to make him develop a habit, so that he would not fall into an illusion due to the mysterious transformation of Yuanshen's mental image without knowing it.It's an incredibly stupid way to do it, but it works.

The purpose of Huazhenxing at this moment is to refine pure gold, not to play with the mental image. What the mental image sees must be combined with the real gold mine sensed by the divine sense. .After the mental image was presented, Hua Zhenxing found that his consciousness seemed to carry a power that could change the composition of the mental image.

If he converts the mined gold in the mental image into pure gold effortlessly, it is an illusion, and if he consumes aura to refine the mined gold into pure gold, and causes a corresponding change in the mental image, then it is a real image.

It can be clearly seen in the primordial spirit that pure gold with the same characteristics converges inward, and the remaining impurities form a crisp stone shell.Although Huazhenhang couldn't explain to people how this process happened, he did.

About half an hour later, Hua Zhenxing opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief. A layer of fine sweat beads had already appeared on his forehead. of gravel.Hua Zhenxing squeezed it hard, but it didn't break, because the mined gold was too small and could not bear the force, he squeezed it again, and the stone shell finally shattered.

A mung bean-sized piece of gold was left on the fingertip, in a perfect spherical shape.Even without testing, Huazhenxing knew that its purity was extremely high, even close to theoretical pure gold, purer than gold extracted by any other processing method.

After finally mastering the method of quenching divine consciousness, it is indeed possible to figure it out on his own. After a short period of joy, Hua Zhenxing was reflecting on another question: It took more than half an hour to get a gold bead the size of a mung bean, so refining it How long does it take for [-] tons of pure gold?Even without considering system tasks, you have to find ways to improve efficiency.

Hua Zhenxing realized that he had been pursuing perfection too much, and he was not skilled enough to do it for the first time, so he wasted a lot of energy.For example, there is absolutely no need to condense this small gold nugget into a perfect spherical shape. I remember that when Uncle Mo showed it, he was very casual, and the final pure gold nugget was irregular.

Another example is that there is no need to pursue absolute purity. Today's standard gold bars require a purity of 99.99%. On this basis, every time an order of magnitude is increased, such as 99.999%, the consumption of energy will increase dramatically.He just pursued the limit that could be achieved with the current cultivation of spiritual consciousness, but it was not necessary.

After summing up the gains and losses and resting for a while, he picked up a piece of mine gold and tried again. This time it was much more agile. It took less than 10 minutes to condense a grain of pure gold, which was still the size of a mung bean and had an irregular shape. .

Chapter 048 The production team held a meeting

Having just mastered a fun and amazing new skill, people are often addicted and want to try it.It was not dark when Mr. Mo left. Huazhenxing tried again and again. After each successful extraction, he took a short rest and restarted. When it was almost midnight, dozens of small golden beans had been extracted, adding up to almost three double.

Putting down the biggest piece of gold refined tonight, Hua Zhenxing felt that he could barely lift his hands, and realized that he could no longer continue.He was exhausted, remembering Uncle Mo's warning, and he almost exceeded the limit just now.He found a box and packed the small gold particles that were extracted. He didn't go back to the bedroom to sleep, but just sat cross-legged in the workroom to cultivate himself.

You don't need to practice other secret techniques to cultivate your body and spirit, you just need to cultivate the essence.The so-called third-level nurturing technique does not mean to cultivate alone. After sitting, it still starts from the activation of vitality, and soon enters the state of primordial spirit.

If the body and mind are separated into a small world, Huazhenxing will only sit for more than two hours.When he opened his eyes again he suddenly felt very hungry.

He went downstairs and cooked a large bowl of new tapioca noodles, seasoned it with meat, and added two eggs extravagantly.Fresh eggs are very rare in Fesso Port. The locals hardly raise chickens, and it is difficult to bring them from overseas. He bought the stock in the refrigerator from Dongguo construction workers.

This bowl of noodles is so delicious!When Hua Zhenxing was eating noodles, he couldn't help but remember that old man Yang just said today that both cassava flour and cassava leaves can be used as feed.The common poultry feed conversion rate, or the meat rate, is much higher than that of livestock. Perhaps in the future, several chicken farms can be established, not only for chickens to eat, but more importantly, for laying eggs...

Hua Zhenxing ate the eggs in the bowl, looking forward to the eggs in the future, but when he returned upstairs, he had a rare insomnia.His spirit has not fully recovered, but his spirit is still very active, and he can't sleep if he wants to.There was no power outage today, so I just moved the high-tech sandbox that Uncle Mo had on the table and played with it.

It took more than half an hour to basically understand its operation.The scene that this high-tech sand table can display, in fact, Uncle Mo has basically shown it to him in the afternoon. The maximum range of the display is [-] by [-] kilometers, with the northern wasteland of the country as the center, the smallest part that can be changed. The range is fifty by fifty kilometers.

The content of the sand table is centered on the reconstruction of the future hydrological basin. It not only recreates a Beisuo River, but also builds a Zhenxing River named after Huazhenhang in the central area, and points out which water conservancy projects should be built, and which places are most suitable for building cities. Its sequence, and shows the whole dynamic process.

The results of the supercomputing simulation may not be accurate. For example, if there is an error in the evaporation rate and permeability in the watershed, or if it changes in the future, the entire model will change when the parameters change.But the sandbox is still significant, at least pointing to a feasible way to transform the wasteland.

Hua Zhenxing repeatedly manipulated the sand table, and suddenly realized that, for him, in the future, if he wants to see this information, he can completely use the sand table. The content that can be displayed on the sand table can be transformed into the image of Yuanshen.Hua Zhenxing was inexplicably a little proud, and planned to find an opportunity to have a good chat with Kefuzi or Uncle Mo.

The three old men didn't sleep, they were picking fruit to eat under the lychee tree in the backyard.It happened to be when the lychees were ripe, and there were no lychees in Fesuo Port, which was cultivated by the old man Yang himself.

There is also a hand-pressed water well in a corner of the yard, a pipe extending out of the ground to connect a lever and a faucet, the ground is leveled with cement, and there are trenches and pools.The block where the grocery store is located has water and electricity supply, and there are very modern bathrooms upstairs and downstairs. Old man Yang understands the enjoyment of life very well.

But there are frequent power outages and water wells, and the grocery store even has backup generators.The fresh lychees just picked from the tree do not need to be washed, and they are not used with pesticides or insects. They can be eaten directly after peeling them off.The snow-white flesh is like nephrite, and the taste is exceptionally sweet.

Mo Shangtong was a little worried: "Xiaohua, this kid doesn't seem to have any idea about money. I said I gave him [-] million meters of gold, but he didn't respond much. He would scream twice if he changed it?"

Ke Mengchao: "What's wrong with this? Wealth and honor are not promiscuous, and weightlifting is light! Do you laugh at it? That's called no future!"

Mo Shangtong: "With the temper of a child, why do you have to cheer and jump a few times? Besides, you have to express your thanks for giving him so much money, right?"

Ke Mengchao: "This is the real temper of a child. If you give him the latest toy, he may be very happy. Saying [-] million meters of gold but not feeling it, why don't you try it in a kindergarten?"

Mo Shangtong: "You're a tough guy, how can Xiaohua be so ignorant?"

Ke Mengchao: "You taught him the Divine Consciousness Refinement Technique, did he thank you?"

Mo Shangtong: "I didn't teach him, I just demonstrated it and let him figure it out for himself."

Ke Fuzi: "I taught him the art of plastic surgery, and he thanked me very much. Although it is not easy to jump around because of my dignity as a teacher, I can see that he is cheering in his heart!

As for your question, it has something to do with his experience.For the child, does he usually need to spend money to buy things?But in this place, what he really wants, can money buy?So in his concept, he doesn't care much about money. "

Mo Shangtong: "My point is not whether Xiaohua loves money or not, but whether he knows how to cherish it? Money comes too easily, and he has no concept. He has never experienced poverty since he was a child, and he has never been beaten by society."

Ke Mengchao: "It's serious! You just broke through the hail of bullets, how do you still want children? Even if you have been tortured by poverty, you have developed a habit of thinking about how to spend 20 yuan, which is different from facing [-] million yuan. concept!"

Mo Shangtong: "Old Yang, you are talking, don't just focus on eating."

Yang Tehong spat out a lychee core and said slowly: "You two are not quite right. I think Xiaohua's reaction is normal, because this child is very smart and knows what the money is for. Lao Mo said yes. [-] million meters of gold, did you really give it? I haven't seen a dime yet, and he still paid [-] yuan today!

Think about it, is this money really for him?That is to engage in project investment, maybe it will be lost.He knows how the money should be used and what it can be used for. What else are you dissatisfied with?Who said he had no concept of money, he just comprehended the Divine Consciousness Tempering Technique, and he continued to smelt gold until midnight, and he was very happy! "

Mo Shangtong smiled: "I said, the gold obtained from refining will be used as his own pocket money. This kid is quite active."

Ke Mengchao: "Compared with the few taels of gold, what excites him more is that he has mastered the Divine Consciousness Refinement Technique."

The next afternoon, at 01:30, Shire came to the block where the grocery store was located, and brought ten of his confidants with him.He stopped far away from the intersection, and told his subordinates to wait here, not to approach the grocery store and not to make trouble. If the waiting time is too long, you can send someone to the grocery store to buy something, and ask about the situation by the way. .

After smoking two more cigarettes to slow down, he took out the gun and handed it to his subordinates, and then Ciel walked to the grocery store alone.In fact, he often came here. In the past, when he was looking for Huazhen, he was very casual, but today he has a different feeling, as if he is going to accept the judgment of fate.Xia Er knew one thing, since Hua Zhenxing could kill Jin Datou and still be safe, it would also determine whether he could take a firm seat.

Huazhenhang was not idle at noon today, he cooked a large table of dishes.In addition to the three old men, there are twelve guests today, eight of whom are the backbone of the Straw Sandals.

Seven of the eight people claimed to be disciples in front of Mo Shangtong, and they all studied with Mo Shangtong for several years. They not only learned craftsmanship and concepts, but also helped manage the huge straw shoe upper. Among them were Li Xiaoyang, who opened a straw sandal workshop, and the first two Tian helped Lei Dajin, who was watching the store.The other person is Li Jingzhi, who is also the backbone of the straw shoes, and actually claims to be a student of Yang Tehong.

Lawyer Dong Zegang was also there. He was not an official member of the Straw Sandals Gang. The other three were disciples of Ke Fuzi, all of whom were Chinese from the East.Ke Fuzi is often not in Fesuo port, and it is said that he has many students in various places.The three disciples Hua Zhenxing who came today have all met. They have followed Kefuzi to Fesuo Port more than once, and it is said that they are all professionals.

In addition to Huazhenxing, sixteen people ate together at noon and made a big table in the backyard.So many people eating together is of course also a meeting to discuss the specific matters of preparing for the establishment of "Huanxiang Industry".The guests did not know the grand blueprint for the future, but they were discussing the current plan, how to buy the [-] square kilometers of land, how to reclaim [-] mu of farmland, how to organize production and sales...

No matter where the company is registered, how many companies are registered, or what affiliation is, in a word, it is based on everyone present.Although the various procedures cannot be completed today, it does not prevent everyone from setting up the framework first.

Huanxiang Industry consists of twelve first-level departments, including general office, finance, logistics, cultural and publicity, project I, project II, planning, auditing, legal affairs, agricultural reclamation, research and development, and security. The twelve guests here today are each. Department heads.

The projects in charge of the first project are located in the current port of Fesso, such as processing plants, warehouses, and supporting shops, etc.; the projects in charge of the second project are located in the [-] square kilometers of the planned area.

The company has four vice presidents: Lei Dajin, vice president, is also the director of the general office, in charge of the general office, logistics, and publicity; vice president Li Xiaoyang also serves as the director of the first project, in charge of the first project, the second project, and research and development; the vice president Tang Senzhi He also serves as the director of the Finance Department, in charge of finance, planning, and auditing; Vice President Li Jingzhi also serves as the director of the Security Department, in charge of security, legal affairs, and agricultural reclamation.
