Zhu Youxiao calmly took the steps and said: "From now on, the Ming Dynasty will no longer pursue the so-called heirloom jade seal. The people of the world live a prosperous life, which is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and this is the destiny of heaven. ”

The ministers replied abruptly: "Your Majesty is the destiny of heaven. ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Let people send this jade seal into the Taimiao, although it is not a national jade seal, but this is a symbol that Mongolia has been defeated by my Ming Dynasty, and it should be able to be presented to the ancestors to comfort the souls of the ancestors in the sky." ”

Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty Shengming, the ancestors will definitely like Your Majesty's dedication." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Today's matter, one is to discuss the arrangement of this jade seal, and the other is the arrangement of affairs in the next few years. ”

Xu Guangqi stepped forward and said: "After discussing with the cabinet, it is believed that the Ming Dynasty is developing rapidly, and we must formulate a foreseeable plan. With His Majesty's permission, each year the Cabinet will draw up a three-year plan with the advice of the ministries. Every year, check whether the plan for the year has been completed, and then make corrections according to the actual situation. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "For example, if a three-year plan is formulated this year, then at this time next year, we must see whether the tasks in the three-year plan that can be completed within one year have been completed, and if they are not completed, what is the reason, if it is caused by official dereliction of duty, the official must be punished." And those who have planned to complete it for many years, what is the degree of completion now, and the reasons should also be analyzed, and those who complete the progress ahead of schedule will be rewarded, and those who lag behind the schedule will be punished. Some tasks are exclusive to this department, and some tasks are multi-department cooperation, and responsibilities should be clarified, and rewards and punishments are clear. ”

Xu Guangqi said: "In addition, the cabinet also believes that it is necessary to formulate a ten-year program to analyze the situation in all aspects in the next ten years, which is a long-term goal, and will not assess the degree of completion, but let everyone understand this goal, and take this long-term goal into account when acting, so as not to make some short-term beneficial and long-term harmful behaviors." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "The purpose of the ten-year program and three-year plan is to make Daming more forward-looking. I communicated with the cabinet and thought that it was very necessary to formulate a long-term plan, and we should first formulate a draft of the program and plan, revise it and publish it in the newspaper, so that all the Ming people know what the imperial court should do next, so as not to make wrong decisions because of the lack of information. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "Each Shangshu writes out the three-year plan and ten-year program of the headquarters, and then summarizes it by the cabinet, reports it to the emperor, and then publishes it in the newspaper after approval. First of all, we must say that the plans and outlines of each ministry should be substantial, not false, but able to be reflected in figures, and do not make random promises, because if they cannot be done at that time, they must be severely punished. ”

Now the ministerial-level units of the Ming Dynasty have a total of 14 departments, including the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Water Resources (the tenth year of the Apocalypse was separated from the Ministry of Agriculture, and Zuo Guangdou was appointed as the Shangshu), the Ministry of Railways, the Highway Committee (no longer by Zhong Yuzheng as the chairman of the executive committee, but now changed to Chen Qiyu), the Supervision Yuan, the Dali Temple, the Department of General Administration, and the Ministry of Education.

The military is not in this scope, and the current military department is already a purely civilian body, which is responsible for managing equipment and logistics, and the combat command authority has been transferred to the General Staff. Sun Chuanting is the secretary of the military department, and he is also the deputy chief of the general staff of the General Staff.

A month later, the cabinet compiled the programs and plans of various departments and handed them over to Zhu Youxiao, who was very satisfied and let them be published in the newspaper.

In fact, officials don't like this kind of thing. If the sources of information for officials and the people are the same, then what else does the official have to do? However, fortunately, the 10-year program and the three-year plan are generalized, which makes the officials feel a little more comfortable.

The main contents of the 10-year program of the Ming Dynasty are as follows: 1. Harness the Yellow River, the Liao River, the Hai River, the Huai River, and the Yangtze River, and reduce the harm of these rivers so that they can play a positive role in agricultural production. 2. Nationwide, except for Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangzhou, every county has built a senior school, every township has built an intermediate school, and every village has built a primary school. 3. All the whole country, except Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, must complete the campaign of having their own fields, and no peasants should be allowed to have their own fields. Fourth, in order to complete the construction of a three-vertical and three-horizontal railway network in the country, every state capital must have high-grade highways. 5. Nationwide, except for Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, each county must have a nursing home, a leaky garden, and a Huimin pharmacy. All elderly people who have reached the age of 65 are paid living allowances at the expense of the imperial court to ensure that they have no worries about their lives. ……

Article 1 of the program also has specific implementation rules, for example, within 10 years, one million mu of trees will be planted in the Yellow River valley in Shaanxi, and the total number of trees shall not be less than 10,000, at least half of which should be fruit trees. And within the first year, at least 50,000 acres of trees must be planted. Although most officials did not think that planting trees had much effect, the emperor insisted on this, Yang Lian, the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, and Zuo Guangdou, the secretary of the Ministry of Water Resources, frantically supported it, and the research institute also came up with evidence of the role of tree planting in Shaanxi to purify the water of the Yellow River and reduce the flooding of the Yellow River. And all local officials who feel that they cannot complete their tasks can choose to resign now and be replaced by officials who think they can complete their tasks.

As for the construction of schools, the length of the primary school has been increased to three years, the length of the intermediate school has been increased to two years, and the duration of the senior school has also been two years. All boys must complete primary school or their fathers will be sent to a labor camp for three years. If the dropout rate of a primary school in a county reaches 1 percent, the county magistrate will be removed and replaced, and the county will fail the evaluation. These two articles have forced officials to do everything they can to ensure that all students have access to primary schools. Although now from Jinyiwei to the Independent Commission Against Corruption to the Economic Survey and Statistics Bureau, these institutions are eyeing officials, and the cost of corruption by officials has increased greatly, so that the old matter of 100,000 snowflakes and silver in a year has become embezzlement of 100 yuan, and everyone has not dared to be corrupt after working on a labor camp for 10 years. However, the income of officials is far higher than that of ordinary people.

Zhu Youxiao never believed in human integrity, so these departments and their higher-level management departments stipulated that the Economic Survey and Statistics Bureau should check the accounts once a quarter, and the Jinyi Health and the Independent Commission Against Corruption would inspect them at any time. Once corruption is discovered, no matter how much the amount is, it will be at least 10 years of labor reform, and embezzlement of 100 yuan will be directly sentenced to death.
