In September, autumn harvests began in various places in the Song Dynasty, and statistical data were sent one by one through various telegrams.

Su You presented a memorial to Gao Taotao and Zhao Xu, to be precise, it was a book - "Outline of the Development of the Imperial Song Dynasty".

The development outline is based on the ten major events that Su You first suggested to Shenzong, but this time it comes to specific operations. Each major event is divided into historical review, current situation analysis, and future prospects.

Then based on these, short-term, medium-term and long-term goals were divided, and finally a three-year plan and budget were made for the short-term goals.

This is a large and incredibly detailed document. Take education, which was the most important thing for people in the Song Dynasty, as an example. It contains statistics on the development of official and private schools across the country, the current situation, the teaching content from primary schools to the Imperial College, including the new

Curriculum arrangement for emerging charity primary and secondary schools.

Statistics were also provided on the national literacy rate, the number of school-age population at each stage, the differences between the current situation and the current situation, and the reasons for the differences.

Then it analyzes the composition of various industries in the Song Dynasty, the knowledge required, the current talent training methods, and their advantages and disadvantages.

Later, we also analyzed the current teaching staff, student composition, schools, teaching materials, tuition fees, talent selection, etc.

So much content is only part of the chapter "Education" and "Review and Current Situation Analysis" in the "Development Outline".

The second part focuses on data analysis and explains what specific gaps exist in the country's development and implementation of school construction.

Among these needs, which ones are short-term and urgent; which ones are mid-term and should be developed but are limited by the current situation; which ones are long-term and can be temporarily relieved but are worth looking forward to.

The third part talks about how to achieve short-term goals step by step, such as how many schools should be established, how to configure them, what teaching materials are needed, how to write them, teacher training and distribution, book printing, how school management agencies plan, guide, and supervise.

What agency should be established to supervise, which ministry and department should be under the jurisdiction, how much national finance will be spent, etc.

Each of the ten major events is compiled in this way. This is simply not something that one person can come up with in a short time.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that Su You started preparations after he came to Beijing to talk with Zhao Xu in the second year of Yuanfeng. In addition to making some supplements about the current situation and re-revising the statistics, the research content inside must have gone through many years of research.

Numerous revisions, additions and deletions.

In other words, the Duke of Shu has already regarded himself as a reserve prime minister and started taking action since the second year of Yuanfeng.

Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu organized their respective teams to stay up late at night to read, requested data from the six books, compared and verified each other, and finally gave this "Outline" a high evaluation.

To put it bluntly, it is still as refined and pure as the old three, but this "Outline" is full of a kind of philosophical thinking.

The figure of Neo-Confucianism is everywhere in the ten things in the "Outline", which is eye-opening!

This is not an outline, this is a book, a document, a new model of managing the country!

It should not be called "Outline of the Development of the Imperial Song Dynasty". Its correct name should be "Guidelines for the Founding of the Nation Under the Guidance of Neo-Confucian Thought."

Fortunately, Su You has spent nine years completing most of the things in statistical analysis. The work left for everyone now is to make a decision together - this outline, whether it is correct or not, and what is mentioned in it.

Should the things you mentioned should be done? If so, how should they be done? Which should be done first and which last?

After that, there is only a matter of taking the short-term task modules and working on them step by step.

It took ten days for everyone to digest it. After that, the Soviet Union organized the officials on the two systems and started an eager discussion in the capital hall, which turned into a quarrel.

In the end, Wen Yanbo got angry and started working one by one, first finding out what was urgent, what was most feasible, and what would have an immediate impact on the Song Dynasty!

Among the ten major events, the reform of the official system has been basically completed. Even with the intervention of Su You, the former subordinate officials were included in the official reform system. It can even be regarded as an epoch-making huge progress, which has surpassed the previous Tang system and the subsequent ones.

Under the Ming and Qing dynasties, the organizational capabilities were considered to be at the top of the feudal dynasty, but in Su You's eyes, they were still too rough.

However, the official system has only been reformed recently, and there is another important difference compared to later generations, which is the shortcomings of the officials themselves and the shortcomings of the official recruitment and assessment system.

Before these two problems are solved, the current official system is already the best.

Politics, including the judiciary and administration, are really involved. They are major events that affect the whole body at once, and it is difficult for a while.

As for the customs and national character, before the previous major issues are resolved, they are just fake and empty things.

This leaves six categories: finance, military, water conservancy, transportation, people's livelihood, and education.

Fortunately, the Song Dynasty is not short of money now, and Gao Taotao has promised everyone that if it doesn't work, he can still pay Zhao Xu the lucky boy's New Year's money, so the financial issue is not too urgent for the time being.

Traffic problems have been continuously improving. It would be good if the east-west main line of the railway can be completed at present. As for the issue of standard road network main lines between states and the construction of the North-South Grand Canal proposed by Suyou, everyone feels that it is too expensive and can only choose among them.

The most important part is included in the three-year plan.

The people's livelihood has also been slowed down for the time being. The officials are very considerate and think that the people's lives are too good at once. If they have developed a bad taste, it is difficult to turn back. Sima Xianggong's leniency in the past year has been very good, so we can let it go for a while.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!

The remaining three are the most urgent, military, water conservancy, and education.

Among them, military and water conservancy are concentrated in Hebei. Let’s compress it a little more and revitalize Hebei within three years! Europe!

Su You watched helplessly as his big plan was being reduced to just a tiny bit. He couldn't laugh or cry. This was really the style of the Song Dynasty.

This is not a system issue, this is a work style issue!

So Su You began to argue with his arguments, arguing with the six ministers and two provincial ministers. He really did not regard himself as the prime minister at all.

It is true that the military and water conservancy are concentrated in Hebei, and it is true that Hebei should be revitalized. However, a package plan to revitalize Hebei also requires strong support from other aspects.

For example, transportation, because it is cut off by several large rivers, it is almost impossible to connect a north-south railway with the current capacity. Then we must vigorously promote maritime transportation, and use coastal ports as nodes and rely on canals to build Hebei's seaports——

Water transportation node—state and county land joint transportation network.

An important part of the road network, there are also bridges, as well as means of transportation, river steam ships, and horse-drawn carriages.

To accomplish this, it is absolutely impossible to rely solely on the prefectures and counties to work independently. We must rely on the central finance. We also need to use Xiangzhou as the base for agricultural marginal effects, Xuzhou and Yunzhou as the bases for industrial marginal effects, and Dengzhou as the base for trade.

marginal effect.

What plays a linking role in this process is business and finance.

There is also the reform of the military system, which involves eliminating old troops, training new ones, and relocating them to other jobs.

To manage the Yellow River, a large number of laborers need to be mobilized. Under the system of exemption from labor, a large amount of currency and materials must be mobilized to form a virtuous economic cycle in Hebei.

This involves the improvement of administrative efficiency, the sufficiency of currency and materials, the removal of local resistance, the control of floating population, and the management of labor personnel.

In the end, under Su You's painstaking efforts, the things that had been cut down to only a few pieces were slowly made up. Everyone reached a decision that the main goal was still to revitalize Hebei within three years, but from the central to local governments, we must start

Full horsepower serves this goal.

The national finance is tilted towards Hebei, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has established a Budget Department and an Accounting Department. Hebei affairs were initially used as a pilot to explore the system.

The Privy Council and the Military Aircraft Department also focused on Hebei and began to reorganize the army and implement a new military system.

In order to stimulate the growth of the local population, increase the floating labor population, and liberate people from the land, a tax reform involving Dingyin into the land was trialled in Hebei.

In order to stimulate the production and circulation of goods and increase the number of workshops and production capacity in Hebei, the sitting tax was abolished and only the line tax was collected.

Set up a money supervisor in Dengzhou, establish Hedong Road, Hebei West Road, Hebei East Road, and Jingdong East Road, referred to as the Hebei Fourth Road Development Bank, and issue additional banknotes.

Taking Hebei as a pilot project, the Ministry of Civil Affairs began to implement a truly effective supervision system to supervise the implementation of these policies by various state governments.

In other words, under the close supervision and cooperation of the Central Committee, Suyou’s governance concept will be piloted in Hebei. The short-term goal is to achieve the revitalization of Hebei within three years, and the medium-term goal is to enable Hebei to independently fight against the Liaoning Revolution in a short period of time.
