All state affairs were squeezed into the government hall, and each minister handled them on his own. If he really couldn't handle them, he would ask the emperor for a decision, which made them become problem solvers.
Everyone suddenly felt that the goal was much clearer and everything was enlightened.
In the past, when they handled state affairs, localities would report problems and submit them to the Political Affairs Hall, and then they would solve them.
Zhao Jun said, "The goals of the Constitutional Court are simple. First, they are to maintain national security, ensure efficient official work, maintain political integrity, and reduce or even eliminate local oppression of the people. Second, they are to promote productivity, strengthen national strength, manage foreign relations, and address economic and agricultural development."
He looked around and offered his opinion, "In general, the Constitutional Court should provide guidance on the overall direction, leaving minor issues to the local governments and various government offices to handle on their own. We should also establish and create a department directly under the Constitutional Court to carry out unified planning and top-down rectification."
But in later times, a huge country has many things to do every day, and it is impossible to trouble the State Council for everything. Local governments can handle it if they can, and if they can't handle it, they can report it to the higher level, and the State Council will then provide guidance.
If all the trivial matters are reported to me, what is the point of development?
Zhao Jun thought for a moment and said, "It's already September, so we must complete this year's goals. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and jumping right in won't work. Over the next three months, I'll require all departments to produce year-end statistical data reports. We'll also establish a new department, the Great Song National Statistics Bureau, directly under the Political System Institute, to verify national data."
“How many people does this take?”
"What do you think we should do now?"
Fan Zhongyan asked.
After he finished speaking, he licked his tongue, stood up, walked to the door of the conference room, and shouted, "Someone come here."
"Zhiyuan!"
Fan Zhongyan frowned and said, "Before, they said they wanted to streamline the bureaucracy and solve the problem of redundant officials. Why are they setting up a new department now?"
Zhao Jun smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Even in the future, our country will have a Statistics Bureau responsible for national statistics and national economic accounting. It will formulate statistical work regulations, statistical reform and statistical modernization plans, and national statistical survey plans. It will organize, lead, and supervise the statistical and national economic accounting work of various regions and departments, and supervise and inspect the implementation of statistical laws and regulations."
Zhao Jun said, "Get nine glasses of water."
"yes."
A young eunuch came running over, bowing and nodding.
The meeting of the Political System Council is very important. At present, the staff of the Political System Council have not been fully assembled, so Zhao Zhen sent some eunuchs to wait for orders.
For example, there was one time when even Zhao Zhen himself did not drink water, but because he was afraid that Wang Shouzhong would blame the palace maids, he forced himself not to drink water.
After sending the eunuch to fetch water, Zhao Jun sat back down and continued, "Statistics will help us identify and resolve problems, and then seek better development. In the future, the National Bureau of Statistics will have subordinate agencies such as the Provincial Statistics Office, State Statistics Offices, and County Statistics Bureaus. These agencies will compile all the economic, agricultural, and political statistics needed by the State Administration of Political Science."
The young eunuch was startled and hurried to do his job.
Because Zhao Zhen was not a strict person, people in the palace often forgot things when doing things.
"This is where Zhao Guangyi was short-sighted. Each government office must have its own statistics, but the country must also have its own statistics so that we can compare them and find problems."
Zhao Jun said: "This will be the case in future generations, whether in our country or Western countries. We cannot be afraid of trouble when collecting statistics. We must collect more and find more errors and loopholes. Otherwise, how can we see the results of development and how can we identify the problems that exist in development?"
“Will this conflict with the powers of the three divisions?”
Lü Yijian pondered, "I remember that in the fourth year of Emperor Taizong's Chunhua reign, there was a General Office responsible for coordinating national statistics. However, because the Three Offices also had the same function, it only existed for a little over a year and was eventually abolished and merged into the Three Offices."
Therefore, when you are in a position, you must do your job.
The above-mentioned problems will certainly be solved as soon as they are encountered, but the main focus is still on national development.
Now that we are in a different position, we cannot just focus on punishing corrupt officials, or discovering what grievances there are among the people and then taking action to redress the unjust cases and gain the praise of the people.
Isn't it nonsense for a prime minister of a country to only deal with these issues day after day?
He needs to look at the data and conduct on-site inspections before he can make a judgment.
This is also the way our country's leaders do things in later generations. Only by discovering problems and then raising them can they be solved, rather than sitting in this position and making decisions on the spur of the moment.
In order to understand the country's development and formulate future planning directions, it is necessary to understand the country's overall data so as to find targeted solutions.
Although Zhao Jun had a good understanding of the problems of the Song Dynasty, such as the three dangers of redundancy, land annexation, and low military combat effectiveness, he was still unclear about the specific severity and extent of the damage.
Don't talk about them.
Even the emperor couldn't stop him from cursing Taizong.
Therefore, Zhao Jun chose to do nothing right after taking office, but to coordinate data and then do other things.
When everyone heard Zhao Jun start talking about Zhao Guangyi again, they looked helpless.
Lu Yijian and other human rights officials pretended not to hear.
"So this year's strategic plan is just about statistics?"
never mind.
Anyway, Zhao Jun was scolding his own ancestors, so what does it have to do with them?
"Well, this is for the Industrial Revolution?"
"Yes."
Yan Shu asked.
