On the first day of the fifth month, the court assembly.
All the officials of the Great Han Dynasty had arrived.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Liu Yu entered the Cheng Tian Hall and the ministers bowed.
Looking at the ministers below, Liu Yu said,""Have you summarized the plans made by the various departments?”
"Your Majesty, the five-year development plans of the various functional departments have been summarized.”Li Ji replied.
"Very good, bring it up." Liu Yu nodded.
Soon, a two-foot-thick development plan was delivered to Liu Yu.
Of course, Liu Yu couldn't read all of them. He only needed to read the outline.
He would not look at the specific implementation details.
As long as the officials acted according to the rules, he did not need to ask about the process. He only wanted the results.
After the time for two incense sticks to burn, Liu Yu finished reading the outline of the plan.
"Overall, it's alright, but some aspects have not met my requirements.”Liu Yu said indifferently.
"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty." The officials asked.
Liu Yu organized his words and said,"The five-year goal that you set, the specific implementation plan is fine, but the overall goal is deviated.
The first five-year plan of the Han Dynasty was not to recuperate or replenish the national treasury, but to complete the initial transformation from an agricultural country to an industrial country.
During this year's spring plowing, all the cultivated land in the country was planted with high-yield food crops. You also know the yield of these food crops last year.
Based on the grain yield per mu of the northern autumn harvest last year, the grain harvested this year was enough to feed the people of the country for ten years.
Therefore, the five-year plan of the Ministry of Agriculture was not to continue to reclaim land in Liaodong, but to increase the raising of livestock and use excess grain to feed livestock so that the people of the country could eat meat.
"At the same time, we need to free more farmers from farmland and let them engage in industrial production…"
Liu Yu's lecture became smoother and smoother, and he rattled on for two hours.
As a result, many of the ministers below were dumbfounded.
What steam engine? They had never heard of it.
They knew about the Wooden Ox and the Flowing Horse, and they also knew that Mogong Palace had been researching the Art of Traps.
However, they really didn't know what a steam engine was.
"Your Majesty, what is a steam engine?”
"Your Majesty, what is a machine tool?”
"Your Majesty, may I ask what is…"
Liu Yu had just finished speaking when a series of questions were raised by the officials.
He wasn't impatient. It would take a long time to formulate a national policy.
Especially the first five-year plan. Many officials were not familiar with it, so they had to figure out what to do next.
Therefore, Liu Yu answered them one by one, explaining his thoughts in detail.
Just like that, the court session lasted for half a month.
In this half a month, the ministers asked questions every day and completely understood Liu Yu's thoughts.
Actually, it was not that difficult to switch from agriculture to industry.
Now that the Han Dynasty had this foundation, as long as there was enough food and everyone did not starve to death, the most basic problem would be solved.
The Great Han Dynasty could use 30% of the farmers to feed 70% of the people.
As long as he didn't take too big of a step and didn't pull his balls, it didn't matter if there were some small problems.
In this era, as long as there was food, there was no need to panic.
The commoners did not have that many requests.
The Han Dynasty could be at ease and boldly try and make mistakes. They did not have to be afraid of problems because the fault tolerance rate was high.
At the beginning of June, the Han Dynasty's new national policy was completed.
To the commoners, the past national policies had nothing to do with them.
But this time was different. In the first five-year plan of the Great Han Dynasty announced on June 1st, 90% of the content was related to ordinary people.
1. Universal education. All the counties in the country built primary and secondary schools to let school-age children read.
2. Building a branch of the Hall of Craftsmen across the country was under the Ministry of Industry. Craftsmen across the country could receive state subsidies after passing the assessment.
3. It was connected to the country's land transportation arteries. There must be a six-meter-wide cement road connecting the major cities. The people could go and participate during the slack season. The wages would be allocated by the state's finances.
4. Fishermen in coastal areas could go out to sea to fish. Before going out to sea, they had to pay attention to the marine weather forecast of the maritime bureau to prevent any accidents.
5. Open up the trading license for official monopoly items such as salt, tea, soy sauce, and so on. Private merchants can buy and sell on their own.
6……
The contents of the reform were sent to all parts of the country in the form of an imperial list.
The local officials had to gather the people to learn and let the people in their respective areas understand the new national policy.
It could be said that these new national policies had caused an uproar among the people.
The things that he didn't dare to think about in the past had all come true now.
The taxes were low, and they worked for the country. Now that they were paid, the officials were also reasonable. If it wasn't for the fact that pinching themselves was very painful, they were afraid that they were living in a dream.
After the first five-year plan was formulated, the ministers began to get busy.
However, Liu Yu was not idle either because he wanted to choose a wife.
Along with the five-year plan, the imperial list was also released.
