The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 90 Planning
Liu Zhenhua took charge of the county government office. He looked at the furnishings in the county government office in front of him, and there were also signs saying "Integrity and Integrity". The case hall was clean and tidy, with not a trace of dust visible. It seemed that the county magistrate cherished the place where he worked.

He took two steps forward and sat behind the case hall, holding a gavel in his hand. In the past, when watching TV dramas, I would always see the magistrate county master slam the gavel on the table with a crisp sound, and loudly question the person below. The sinner may deny his guilt, or he may snap the gavel in his hand in anger.

This scene always reminded Liu Zhenhua of the same situation among teachers in high school and junior high school. When some students below him were disobedient, he took the blackboard eraser and slammed it on the table, causing a cloud of dust to fly up. The students sitting on both sides of the imperial podium quickly took it away. Holding a book in front of him, he looked at the classmates in the front and back rows with a wicked smile on his face.

"Tsk tsk, I can be considered a county magistrate now."

Liu Zhenhua's eyes circulated in the hall. He now controls a county, a town, the town, Shanggou Village, Liujia Village, Zhangjia Village, and Lijia Village, all in Liu Zhenhua's hands.

Some people always think that county-level officials are very small, but in fact it is very difficult for ordinary people to meet a county magistrate. In later generations, there were only more than 1000 counties in the country, but there were 15 billion people in the country.

It can be said that there is only one county magistrate out of almost a million people. In ancient times, the population was not that large, but the county magistrate was only one official out of tens of thousands.

Liu Zhenhua closed his eyes, his temples twitching. He used to be in charge of thousands of people, but now the population is expanding rapidly, and he has to face too many problems.

The inspector carefully looked at the person sitting inside the door from outside. This was the legendary Kitchen King. The inspector held the county annals in his hand.

"come in."

Liu Zhenhua raised his eyes and saw him. Two heavenly soldiers guarding the door cleared the inspection. The latter carefully handed over the county magistrate and stood aside respectfully.

Opening the county annals, Liu Zhenhua looked through it and found that the actual number of registered households in Yanchuan County this year was: 1918, and the population was: 18368.

From the year of Tianqi to the first year of Chongzhen, the population has been declining. Originally there were more than 2 people, but now there are only more than 1 people registered in Yanchuan County.

Of course, this is not the population in the county. In ancient times, the county first built walls and then developed markets. The maximum permanent population in a small county was tens of thousands, and there might be more in a large county.

Liu Zhenhua closed the county records. Since he took over this place, he must register the population. With the temptation of releasing grain, it is impossible for people not to show up to register.

Now that there are more people, the talents in Liu Zhenhua's hands seem to be stretched thin. Fortunately, the military attache said that with too many wars, there can be a talented martial artist among the mud legs, such as Ren Hongli, Yang Lichao and others.

As for the civil servants, few of the people under Liu Zhenhua are literate. Currently, the only people who are doing population registration and measuring and dividing the land are Ren Zhuozhou, Ren Fanyi and Zhao Shicheng. He is assisting and acting as a trumpet for Liu Zhenhua.

Nowadays, when there are more people, there are more things to do, which requires a lot of talents to manage, but with these two and a half people, they can't complete these things even if they are exhausted.

More talents are needed, not only to help Liu Zhenhua register the population, but also to help Liu Zhenhua manage these people.

We must find some talents and scholars to assist in management.

"Now that there are more people, we must set the rules and ideas that belong to the 'Government of the Stove King'."

Liu Zhenhua frowned and thought, that would make the hunched patrol inspector next to him afraid to show off his dignity.The plots of many books I have read in the past come to mind. Every time the male protagonist travels to ancient times and battles wits and courage with the scheming ministers, he wins and monopolizes power, and even succeeds in sitting on the dragon throne, directly making everyone in the world know everyone. Equality, knowing all kinds of modern ideas.

Liu Zhenhua couldn't understand that even under the circumstances of later generations, people in some villages still maintained their original thoughts. How could a person who traveled through the past change these stubborn and ignorant people with the efforts of one generation.

Liu Zhenhua didn't want to add these things to the ideas he wanted to promote.

"Bring a pen and paper."

He had to think and write at the same time, otherwise his brain would really be unable to remember it. Not long after, the heavenly soldiers outside handed over banknotes. Liu Zhenhua was glad that he had the memory of how to write in his mind. Otherwise, he could only exchange some banknotes in the mall. Pen, or directly call someone to come, he said that person will write.

"The land in the world is under the control of the Kitchen King and is equally distributed among the people of the world. The tax is tentatively set at a rate of [-] in [-]. There will be no levy of wages or corvee."

The land issue belongs to the Kitchen King and is divided equally among the world. It is similar to state-owned land. This is the case in many dynasties. However, many dynasties have divided it and cannot take it back. Rich families, landlords and gentry are all annexing land secretly. The key point is Or is it that the power of the government is too weak and there is a mistake in execution? Some of the people who carry out the execution are even in these wealthy families. How do you say that? Who will sue me in the hall?Liu Zhenhua could only slowly think of a solution. Land annexation often occurs after the world is at peace. In the current troubled times, it is the time to break up and reallocate resources. It is useless to consider this too early.

As for the tax rate in the early Ming Dynasty, the tax rate was only 21%. He drew [-]% of [-], which was less than the grain collected by Zhu Yuanzhang. If Liaoxiang was not levied, this would have been an exorbitant tax and there was no need to levy it. The same was true for corvee labor. Liu Zhenhua has a reputation and will increase it in the future. It is enough to maintain huge military expenditures and the operation of the system, without squeezing too much money from the people at the bottom.

This is a tentative rule. Every good thing for the common people is enough to make them grateful.

Liu Zhenhua tapped the table with his fingers and looked at the words on the paper. Previously, Liu Zhenhua's team was full of strong men, with few women and almost no young and old. In this world, it is difficult for people under ten years old to survive, and the same is true for older people. If anyone in the village starved to death, this group would be the first to die, followed closely by the women.

Now, Liu Zhenhua has increased the population of one county and has more children.

Thoughts cannot be changed with the power of one generation, because the minds of adults have been solidified, and now the main body is the adults, but the second generation, these children, must be educated and allowed to go to school.

Liu Zhenhua put pen to paper and wrote many words in a eloquent manner. These are all things that will be read out in front of the people when the county magistrate and others are executed tomorrow, and they must be implemented in the territory under his rule.

After the children's affairs are over, the food issue becomes a problem.

At present, there is famine and no harvest, and this situation will continue. Although the landlords have a lot of food, there are more people who cannot eat. These people will receive food after registering with Liu Zhenhua, but after receiving it, they will still be No need to eat.

In Liu Zhenhua's Prestige Mall, high-end weapons are extremely expensive, as is food. It is impossible to buy rice and wheat based on prestige.

If the land cannot grow these foods, then what can be grown?

Liu Zhenhua thought of other crops. With the current drought situation in Shaanxi and other places, he immediately thought of sweet potatoes.
