Times are changing, and systems must also change at any time. If you stick to the old ways, you will only fall behind others.
What Zhao Jun hoped for was not that the Song Dynasty would always maintain its military firepower advantage to intimidate the whole world, and then rob and plunder wealth everywhere.
What he hoped was that the system of the Song Dynasty would change and progress at all times, rather than sticking to the old ways of the ancestors.
Because only in this way can the Song Dynasty continue to maintain its institutional advantages. With institutional advantages, it will not only have an advantage in firepower of the army, but will also be ahead in all other aspects.
Just like this time the officialdom is being restructured.
If it remains the same as it was, it will simply change the previous problems of officials such as laziness, corruption, and buck-passing.
If this continues, it will easily lead to officials becoming redundant and only completing the tasks assigned by the performance evaluation law every day, ignoring other issues, and failing to solve the current situation of making their jurisdictions better.
So after discovering such a problem, we must change it.
Gradually abolish the original performance evaluation system, increase the term of office of officials, improve their enthusiasm and initiative, and lay the foundation for all-round development of the country.
This is the benefit of institutional advantages.
Now in the Constitutional Court.
Zhao Jun is still selling his grand blueprint, telling everyone how subversive this new policy change will be.
"The first Qingli New Deal had to address the problem of official corruption and idleness, so the performance evaluation system was used, which was a stick and carrot to force officials to do their job."
"But now the times have changed. We have completed the transition from a feudal agricultural society to the initial stage of the first industrial society, so we must consider comprehensive industrialization."
"Currently, only a few major cities in the Song Dynasty have industry. More than 95% of the country's production value comes from agriculture and handicrafts. The remaining 5% is still accounted for by the steel industry. The industrial level is still backward."
"This might have been enough in ancient society, but since our goal is to lead society first, we must not be satisfied with this."
"So we must continue to expand industrial output, at least to fill the domestic market, and then occupy the market in surrounding regions such as East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Central Asia, and South Asia."
"Then we will assimilate these markets, cultivate them carefully, spread our own culture, and integrate their markets and regions into the puzzle of Chinese civilization."
"If we achieve these points, our overall social development and national strength will be unstoppable. We could be hundreds, or even thousands, ahead of the rest of the world."
"So how can we do that?"
"We must change the current relatively backward official order, turn passivity into initiative, and actively expand the country's industrialization level in order to achieve a leap forward in overall national strength."
Facing the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and many prime ministers, Zhao Jun spoke passionately and outlined a bright future.
It was still raining heavily outside the window. On Zhao Zhen's desk was a notebook that had been there for fifteen years. It took only two minutes to boot up, but it was still working fine.
Zhao Zhen's hand habitually touched the mouse. The laptop had not been turned on for a long time. It was usually turned on once every few days to check whether it was working properly.
There was a charcoal fire burning in the house, and there was a stove at everyone's feet, making the house as warm as spring.
Everyone listened attentively to Zhao Jun's words. When he finished, Fan Zhongyan was the first to applaud, saying, "That was wonderful."
"Pah pah pah."
Everyone then high-fived.
This has become a tradition of the Constitutional Court. This happens whenever someone expresses outstanding insights and is recognized by everyone.
certainly.
Basically, apart from Zhao Jun, no one can express outstanding insights.
No one even knows whether this is a truly beautiful future. They just believe whatever Zhao Jun says.
Because there is no way not to believe it, they cannot come up with any reasons to refute it. Even if they want to refute it, they don’t know what to say. Things like comprehensive industrialization and technology being the primary productive forces are purely blind spots in knowledge.
Even if someone from the future gave them popular science, they would only have a partial understanding. After all, it was impossible for Zhao Jun to teach them 24 hours a day. At most, he could only explain some terms.
So basically they just need to know that this is the advanced system and experience of the future. Since it is advanced, it should be correct and they should also agree with it. This is not wrong after all.
"good!"
Zhao Zhen clapped his hands and nodded repeatedly, saying, "To be honest, I only half understand what he said, but I know that Han Long wouldn't just say something without thinking. If he says he can do something, then he can definitely do it. I think we should do as Han Long says."
Zhao Jun asked, "What didn't you understand?"
Zhao Zhen said, "It's market assimilation. What does that mean? I think the Western powers are all colonizing."
Zhao Jun laughed and said, "Colonization is actually the most basic method. The Western powers themselves were small countries with small populations. They were the first to complete industrialization. With their industrial systems, they were able to crush agriculture and primitive societies. That's how they could colonize. But colonization itself is a form of predatory robbery. It's basically a one-time deal. Have you seen the Western powers colonize for hundreds of years? Have they plundered all the world's resources?"
"What does Hanlong mean?"
Yan Shu opened his eyes wide.
"Yes, this goes back to the East Asia One-Pole Strategy I proposed earlier, and it's still a foreshadowing for the future."
Zhao Jun said, "While national and ethnic ideologies haven't emerged yet, we should accelerate the upgrading of our own national ideology and then export our culture and ideology. All of East Asia is a free labor force, with abundant resources for us to exploit. For example, Southeast Asia and Siberia have vast reserves of oil and natural gas. However, compared to the oil and natural gas in the Middle East, these resources are more difficult to exploit and not as easy to discover."
