First of all, it is necessary to rectify the central organs, let the officials of "Taiwan, province, health and prison" devote themselves to their duties, merge the titles properly, reduce the number of officials, and let the officials live up to their names and have the right to do things. There are three provinces: Zhongshu, Menxia and Shangshu, which are in charge of the central administration.
Governor Zhongshu announced the emperor's orders, answered ministers' speeches, decided on the appointment and dismissal of important officials, and set up eight offices, including offices. Under the door, the governor must examine the matters stipulated by the province. Shangshu is an administrative organization with six prime ministers who exercise actual power. However, the Ministry of War only protects armor and militia, and the actual military power is still in the hands of the emperor and the Privy Council.
In this way, from the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the shortcomings of many vacancies and few actual posts in the central institutions were reversed, and the strange phenomenon of "three provinces and six Cao's not doing their duty" was eliminated.
Secondly, Song Shenzong unified the salaries of officials throughout the country. The virtual officials who only receive salaries are changed to corresponding grades, and they are distributed according to grades, which is convenient for the assessment and use of officials, so that "scholar-officials perform their duties and know their responsibilities so as not to fall out of favor in Shandong", thus giving full play to the enthusiasm of officials.
It played a positive role in Song Shenzong Yuanfeng's reform, but under the historical conditions at that time, he did not and could not carry out thorough institutional reform and streamline officials, so he had good wishes, but he could not achieve the goal of consolidating the reform results.
