Therefore, Zhao Jun really couldn't blame the military generals and nobles, he could only blame his ancestors for laying a mine for his descendants.
"I hope they can accept the conditions we offer."
Yan Shu said finally.
Now that Zhao Jun has pointed out the direction, everyone naturally unanimously supports solving the three redundancies problem.
After all, firstly, it does not involve their own interests, and secondly, the civil service group does have some opinions on the three redundancies problem, so with some supporters, everyone is still willing to follow Zhao Jun.
Then everyone talked about the summary of last year’s achievements and the planning direction for this year.
The meeting ended at the beginning of the morning, which was around 9 o'clock.
Zhao Jun was not working in the Constitutional Council today. He had planned a lot of things last year, but mainly to solve the problem of "three redundancies" and did a lot of preliminary work.
For example, we increased supervision and investigation, organized production and construction, continued to develop water conservancy facilities, and built canals on previously unusable wasteland around Bianliang and in Henan Province, developing approximately 800,000 acres of farmland.
From the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song to the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song, the cultivated land experienced explosive growth, from 290 million mu in the early Song Dynasty to 460 million mu in the early years of Emperor Renzong of Song. However, in the late period of Emperor Renzong of Song, it suddenly dropped to 230 million mu.
This is naturally due to the large-scale annexation of land, and the landlords and land-owning officials concealing their land and paying less taxes.
Land annexation is actually quite serious now, but the imperial court is curbing this phenomenon, and its scale has not continued to expand. Moreover, as local governments withhold some tax revenue, they can develop water conservancy facilities and increase the amount of farmland.
Therefore, this is the time when the country is in the construction period, and the annual growth is still very good. Last year alone, the country added more than 9 million mu of farmland. It is expected that in the next 20 years, the amount of farmland will reach 720 million mu during the peak period of the Northern Song Dynasty, which will lead to explosive growth in productivity.
Seeing that the situation is so good now, Zhao Jun naturally has to start preparing to solve the three redundancy problems. He plans to let Lao Fan preside over the new policy to reform the three redundancy problems in February this year.
In this way, starting from the first year of the Qingli period, there was the first round of official administration, the second round of recuperation, and the third round of eliminating malpractices.
Three rounds of new policies.
The entire Song Dynasty will become healthy and progressive.
The only problem now is to appease the vested interest group of military officials and nobles.
So in the morning he asked Cao Xiu to notify all the generals and nobles, and in the name of Zhao Zhen, invite everyone to have lunch together to discuss this issue.
Zhao Jun did not work in the Civil Service Bureau. Around ten o'clock, he went to Chongzheng Hall and talked with Zhao Zhen about what was going to be said at the meeting.
This time it can be considered an alternative way of releasing military power over a cup of wine. It would be best if we can have a good talk with them and resolve the problem peacefully.
After the details were discussed, at noon, all the generals and nobles who were treated like pigs came with their families and were summoned by the emperor to the palace in the name of a banquet to participate in the meeting.
