Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 40 Daming Resident Register

After half an incense stick, Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea and stood up, saying, "Come on, come with us to the imperial study."

Zhu Biao sat at the table, looking at Lao Zhu anxiously.The above mentioned is easy to discuss, but the latter part offends Long Wei.

Zhu Biao wrote hundreds of articles on the content of the reform. Regarding the matter of Li Bin, it also mentioned that it is not good to criticize Li Bin in large numbers.

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands together and said to Zhu Biao: "Biaoer, tell us the story of the Donghua Dynasty again."

"Yes, Father."

Zhu Biao nodded, and the story of the Donghua Dynasty was told to him again by Zhu Biao, this time with the risk of lack of talents.

Now, the people of Ming Dynasty can be roughly divided into three categories according to their occupations: civilian households, military households, and artisan households.

Civilian households include Confucian households and medical households, etc.; military households include school lieutenants, warriors, archers, shop soldiers, etc.;

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lao Zhu made the division of these households very strict, such as the Yellow Book System and the Fish Scale Book.

Historically, it was mainly for the convenience of employing people. When wars were needed, military households were summoned, and when projects were repaired, artisan households were summoned.

For example, if one family is a military household, then the descendants must also be military households. If no sons are daughters, it is also simple.

There are males among relatives, so just pick one up to make up the number.What if there are no sons in the relatives.That can't be counted. In short, someone must be found to serve as a military household, even if it is abducted and stolen. You can do whatever you want. In short, the court must see the successor of the military household.

Zhu Biao sounds like gangster logic, but this is what his father formulated.

Compared with the household registration system of the Song Dynasty, the household registration system of the Ming and Qing Dynasties is considered a retrogression, which will have an impact on social production.

"Biao'er, after the abolition, do you have a better solution?"

This is how Zhu Yuanzhang does things. As long as he agrees to reform, he will repeatedly deduce.

I understand that the bid is big, and I need him to give advice on many things. As long as it is beneficial to the people and the Ming Dynasty, he will strongly support it.

Seeing Lao Zhu's hesitation, Zhu Biao patiently persuaded him: "Father, I will take this cook household as an example. The cook's descendants don't know how to cook, and the officials below will think it doesn't matter if they don't know how to cook. Let them go." That's fine, as long as the number of people matches, it's fine.

Anyway, they don't eat the food these people cook, and they don't care who gets sick after eating it, just complete the task.

People regard food as their heaven, so this is not killing people in disguise. "

"Well, you go on."

"During the time I was in Yangzhou, I saw the lives of the people with my own eyes. The people of the Ming Dynasty should not be troubled and restricted by the household category."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "If there are no military households and artisan households, how can the common people be willing to join the army and be craftsmen?"

"This son-in-law has already thought that if he is willing to join the army as a volunteer army, he will train more soldiers and raise fewer soldiers. The best soldiers are not too many. Only by training an elite division of the Ming Dynasty can one equal ten."

"Train more soldiers and less raise them! This is not bad." Zhu Yuanzhang praised, and then asked: "Talk to us about the craftsmen's problems in detail."

"As for craftsmen, as long as what they do can contribute to the development of Daming, Erchen will let Daming Institute of Science and Technology recruit them, and they will have a fixed monthly salary.

Recruitment and selection of artisan talents are also carried out every year, so that those who truly have artisan skills can enjoy the rewards that Ming Dynasty should have.

In this way, craftsmen will not be ashamed of their craftsmanship.

For them, the ministers will arrange houses for them and their parents, wives and children, gather them who are skilled in various fields, and send them to various places as science and technology officials.For example, teaching the common people to double their harvest, such as the renovation of other workshops, blacksmiths, carpenters, quarrying, masonry, etc... will arrange suitable places to go. "

"Then how to manage the Daming resident register you mentioned."

"The resident register of the Ming Dynasty can be designed and manufactured by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the imperial court can prevent counterfeiting, just like the anti-counterfeiting of precious banknotes.

The book is made of bright yellow cloth, and the four big characters of Ming Dynasty residents are written on it, each of which has a record of the family members.

The first page of the book is the head of the family, the back is the wife of the head of the family, and the back is the registration of the family's descendants.

Name, male or female, age, state and county of birth, where people, appearance map and income, field registration, Daming resident number. "

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but interrupted: "What is the Daming Resident Number?"

"Return to father, this number is uniquely arranged for each commoner, and it is something that is required for travel, similar to the current road guide card.

When a family marries a wife and a daughter, has a child, or dies, it must be reported to the local government in time, and the official responsible for the household registration of the government will check and add or delete it in the Daming resident book.

In order to ensure that the imperial court keeps abreast of the latest population changes, in the last month of each year, people from all over the country go to the government to report their own situation, and the government manages the household registration to review it, and replace it with a new Daming resident register if necessary.

If you want to move, you must report to the local government. The government will check the destination, explain the reason clearly, and issue relevant certificates before you can move.

Without a proof of relocation, the relocated local government and the receiving place cannot accept it.

If the common people do not have the Ming resident register and do not follow the Ming resident register, and are discovered by the government and the common people, they will be regarded as refugees, unable to own their own arable land, engage in business, or take the imperial examination, and will be exiled by the government for generations to open up wasteland and warn.

The people of Ming Dynasty could not move freely.The relocation of densely populated places shall be controlled according to the reasons for the relocation, and shall be handled as appropriate.

If you move to a sparsely populated area to develop farming, you will be rewarded and encouraged.

All the common people who have the Daming resident register issued by the government, these common people are not divided into low-registered households, and they and their descendants can do business and scientific research, and can also become craftsmen.

Doing business, imperial examination... and others can be freely chosen without restriction, but they must be registered with the Daming Resident Register. In order to prevent someone from tampering with the information during registration, the information is printed on the spot, stored and included, and stamped by multiple people like treasure banknotes. . "

Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded, and after hearing the printing, he said: "Printing."

"Returning to my father, it is the printing technique. The science and technology institute of Yuerchen will develop the printing technique. My father doesn't have to worry about it."

"Biaoer, what should we do if the Daming Resident Register is lost?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked a question.

"The lost ones can be reported to the local government that manages the household registration. At the end of each year, people go to the local government to renew their resident registers, and the situation must be verified by the government.

In addition, for each resident book, a management fee of five renminbi is required.

In the historical Qin Dynasty, it was precisely because of the strict management of the household registration system that the Qin State had a strong tax collection ability and the ability to mobilize the whole people, so that it could rule the world.

Officials who manage household registration, if they bend the law for personal gain and change positions, once they are verified, they will punish the nine clans. Household registration is the fundamental method for managing the people, and it must be true and fair. "

For officials in household registration management, if strict penalties are not imposed, some officials will accept bribes, bend the law for personal gain, and give themselves some convenience.

This will only make people who have no money and power suffer, and punishment must be increased.

Now that the country has not been founded, it can be implemented very quickly.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't object to anything. He was very surprised by his son's arrangement.

The yellow book has only been implemented in a few places, and in many places in the south of the Yangtze River, it has not yet officially started in the north of the Yangtze River, and there is still time to withdraw it halfway.

For this, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think it was a difficult task. Once it was formulated, it would be announced in the court and they would implement it.

But there is one more thing he cares about right now.

He is very interested in what Biao'er said just now about training more troops and less raising them.

"Biao'er, you are talking about the training and raising of soldiers, let's listen, and also talk about the matter you wrote below about Li Bin's bribery. Then we have something to discuss with you. off your descendants."

"Yes, Father."

After Zhu Biao explained the household registration in detail, Lao Zhu asked Yu to record the prince's words in full.

　This idea was suggested by book friends in the comment area, with a new idea, combined with some of the Qin and Han control household registration.

　　We can discuss the following questions.

　　There is only one chapter today, and it’s time for Calvin. I need to check the relevant information. If you have a ticket, send some, thank you.

　　The first volume is basically about the founding of the Ming Dynasty and laying the foundation and paving the way for the next strong Ming, so it will be a bit boring.
