Chapter 284: Second Five-Year Plan (I)

At the beginning of November of the fifth year of Hongwu, the autumn harvest work in various parts of Dajin has just ended, and the data of various places are being counted. This year is the last year of the Central Plains reconstruction plan formulated by the imperial court, and it is also the beginning of the second five-year plan formulated by the imperial court. As early as July, the imperial court ordered all localities to enter Beijing to prepare to participate in the formulation of the five-year plan.

The meeting was very large-scale, and was attended not only by cabinet ministers, ministers and servants of various ministries of Shangshu Province, and officials from Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, but also by the county guards of various prefectures and several important counties. Nearly a thousand officials filled the Taiji Hall to the brim, and some marginal states and counties even walked for a month or two to reach Jingshi.

For example, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Zhang Rail, this is the first time he has returned to Beijing since he left Beijing for five years, he set off from Guzang along the east-west artery all the way, and it took a whole month to arrive in Beijing! Looking at the increasingly prosperous Jingshi, Zhang Liang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he was able to lead the Northwest Army to victory in a hundred battles, and it was inseparable from the full support of the imperial court!

In addition to the state and county officials in the northwest region, including the newly incorporated Liaodong, many people were also sent to participate in the great court meeting. The county commander of Ryukyu County came back as a naval warship, and he first took a boat to Weihaiwei Harbor, and then transferred to a horse-drawn carriage all the way west.

The officials of the Samhan Peninsula also came by warship, and they did not want to ride a large circle on land, but rather to come by boat. Although Luzon has not yet been fully integrated into the Great Jin system, the 'autonomous regions' under the rule of the Great Jin still sent officials to participate in this year's Great Dynasty Meeting.

Sima Shu looked at the thorn history and county guards below who were indeed hard, and he couldn't help but fantasize in his heart. If only you got a steam engine and a train! In the future, the officials below will not have to travel so hard for a long distance, and they will save a lot of time, you must know that in order to prepare for this conference, it took more than half a year before and after, and the time spent on the road by officials from all over the country alone is as much as two months.

However, this court meeting is very important, and it will not work if it is not held. When the first five-year plan was formulated, because no one else admired it, it was basically Sima Shu who sang the leading role alone. But now it is different, and officials from all over the country are already familiar with this forward-looking policy, especially the assassins from all over the country who participated in this court meeting with a great purpose. They know that this is the best time to fight for local interests.

The theme of this meeting is clear. It is to formulate the second five-year plan of the Great Jin Dynasty, plan the economic development plan for the next stage of the Great Jin Dynasty, and strive to use the development of the Central Plains and Guanzhong developed areas to drive other backward areas, so that after the plan is completed. To form a strong economy within the scope of the Great Jin.

Of course, the final core issue is to make all the people of Dajin live a better life. Improve the quality of life of all Jin people through the implementation of one economic plan after another. Since ancient times, the saying "the world of those who win the hearts of the people" still has a certain relationship. If you can't let the people under your rule live well, the people will definitely have some resentment in their hearts, and they will soon be separated from the court. If it's serious, it will cause a lot of turmoil.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial court is about to implement the second five-year plan, so at this time, you are gathered in the capital to listen to the opinions of the people, so as to formulate a plan that meets the interests of the majority. Before that, I must warn you. You can argue and make as many different suggestions as you can before the plan is made, but once the plan is finalized, you must carry it out unconditionally, and if you let me know that someone dares to disobey me, then don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings! ”

"The ministers will never dare to have other thoughts!" The ministers assured with trepidation.

"Well, that's the best, let's start, let's start with education, please talk about Zuo Shangshu first!" Sima Shu nodded with satisfaction and said, because he attached great importance to education, he named Zuo Si at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, five years ago, the illiteracy rate in my Dajin was almost 95 percent or more, and after the first five-year plan, the illiteracy rate in my Dajin has dropped to 75 percent. Therefore, our school believes that in the second five-year plan, our Dajin should increase investment in education, and strive to establish a complete school system in Liaodong, Sanhan, Northwest, Luzon and other places. ”

"At the same time, the imperial court should also increase the number of training schools in various places, in previous years it was these training schools that greatly popularized literacy activities in various places, if the imperial court can be equal to previous years in the next investment, the minister dares to guarantee that when the second five-year plan is over, the illiteracy rate of my Dajin will definitely drop to less than 50 percent, so that I Dajin can be regarded as achieving the goal of most people being literate!"

Hearing Zuo Si's words, no one present came out to refute it, and both the emperor Sima Shu and the cabinet ministers attached great importance to the indoctrination work, and no one dared to touch this mold. Even some officials from the northwest and eastern Liaodong regions were overjoyed, but they knew that once the imperial court passed the proposal of the Zuo master of the school department, the imperial court would definitely increase its investment in education in their regions, which was all money!

"Lord Zuo's suggestion is very good, I don't need to discuss it anymore, this article will be passed, as for the detailed plan, it still needs to be carefully discussed by the Cabinet and the Cabinet Department before it can be come out, which may also involve local officials in several states and counties in the northwest, I hope you will also participate in this discussion, and you will provide practical suggestions for the cabinet according to the actual situation of each state and county!"

"Obey your orders!"

"The situation of the school is quite special, so I treat it specially. However, the following discussion may involve various states and counties, and the actual situation is different from place to place, so it may be a bit unrealistic to adopt the style of education. Therefore, I plan to do the opposite, first let the local assassins and county guards put forward their own future development plans, and then after deliberation and discussion by the provincial officials, the economic plan of the imperial court will be formed, and finally the cabinet will implement it to all parts of the Great Jin Dynasty! ”

"Everyone has to take care of the remote areas, let's start with a few states and counties in eastern Liaodong!" Sima Shu looked at the place around him that was about to move, and hurriedly spoke.

As soon as Sima Shu's words fell, he saw Pei Wei, the assassin of Youzhou, stand up, and saw that he first saluted the emperor Sima Shu, and then arched his hand to the colleagues around him and said: "Colleagues, this official has been added as the history of Youzhou Thorn, and this time I am ordered by the emperor to introduce Youzhou to you." ”

"As we all know, my Youzhou has been under the iron hooves of the Hu people for several years, and its economy is quite backward compared with other places. In order to revitalize the economy of Youzhou, we are ready to use the northern section of the North and South Canal, Youzhou Tianjin Port two major projects to form a fist economy and revitalize Youzhou's industry, in addition to Youzhou, we also plan to develop animal husbandry and breeding to revitalize Youzhou's agriculture! ”

Pei Wei stood on the Taiji Hall, talking eloquently in front of many colleagues, obviously he had prepared very well before this, and blurted out all kinds of data and information. In order to get more money from the treasury, Pei Wei can be said to be out of the way this time!

Looking at the high-spirited Pei Wei Sima Shu was also pleased, he thought that the quality of officials in the Great Jin should be like this in the future. As an official of the Great Jin Dynasty, he must not be unfamiliar with popular affairs, and any official who advocates empty talk will not have room to survive in the bureaucratic system of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Even the provincial officials in charge of supervision are trained every year, and their proposals for impeachment and review must be well-founded and must not be untargeted. Although after Sima Shu ascended the throne, the court never sinned for his words, but if he discussed the government for no reason, he would also be severely punished.

While Sima Shu was thinking about his thoughts, the discussion in the Taiji Hall still did not stop. After such a long time, the cabinet ministers can be considered to know a thing or two. Basically, each region has its own main projects, such as Qingdao Port, they can only make a fuss about the development of trade and economy, and they hope that the imperial court can continue to give Qingdao Port preferential treatment in terms of taxation in the next few years.

The state hopes to learn from Guanzhong, give full play to their advantages in more coal resources, and then use the coal industry to drive the economic development of the whole state and county. At the same time, they also hoped that the imperial court would attach importance to the development of agriculture in the prefecture and strive to achieve the goal of food self-sufficiency in the next few years.

The focus of Ryukyu County is to increase the production of rice and strive to take advantage of the favorable local climatic conditions to produce more grain, so as to become another grain exporter of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Liaodong also hopes to develop steel and other industries to give full play to their advantages, and use the steel industry to drive other industries in Liaodong, but once the steel industry in Liaodong has a scale, the imperial court will have to consider the issue of exports.

In addition, there are some places, such as Wadao and Luzon, which mainly consider the mining and smelting of gold, silver, copper, etc., and they have to consider how to increase production and increase revenue for the imperial court on the original basis.

The Jizhou region is ready to vigorously promote the cotton industry, how to carry out deep processing, provide raw materials for the textile industry, and increase its added value.

In addition, there are a number of prefectures and counties close to the sea, which are preparing to develop shipbuilding and marine fishing, and in short, local officials have put forward a series of measures and plans to revitalize the economy of the Great Jin Dynasty according to their own advantages.

Of course, not all plans were supported by the imperial court, among which the plan proposed by the Liangzhou Thorn Mansion to open up farmland in the Hexi Corridor was vetoed by Sima Shu, who not only vetoed the plan to reclaim the grassland into urban farmland, but also demanded that the Liangzhou Thorn Mansion must protect the local grassland and water sources!

The officials of the Great Jin Dynasty could not understand Sima Shu's distress in doing so, but Sima Shu still relied on strong means to pass the plan to protect the grassland, and he could not tell everyone that in a few decades, those places would all become deserts! In fact, in the third century A.D., due to the great changes in the global climate, the desertification process in northwest China was much faster! (To be continued......)
