Despite how the officials in Liaodong scolded Yu Qian behind his back, they still completed the census work as quickly as possible.

Thirty-nine winter, door-to-door accounting.

After this project sat down, dozens of officials and public servants from more than a dozen prefectures under the jurisdiction of the entire Liaodong Political Envoy Department fell ill with frost.

"Those who are injured can be given allowances and evaluated for excellence."

Who said that being a public servant deserves to enjoy Qingfu, sit in the office, drink tea and read the newspaper.

There is no difference between being a public servant and being a soldier, both of them are rushing to the front line, and there is the same risk of injury and illness.

The bad weather and geographical problems in Liaodong made it difficult for the whole of Liaodong to complain this time, but Xu Buji, who was extremely strict with the bureaucratic group, was very generous afterwards.

The allowance alone has been issued in one go, and billions have been paid.

It is a general reward, and officials at all levels in Liaodong can each get an extremely considerable amount of money.

Including earlier, in order to allow Liaodong to hire temporary personnel to participate in the work, the cabinet approved a special fund with the largest amount in each province in the country that has not been used up, and it has also been approved to be retained as a subsidy for distribution.

After the sweet dates were given, Xu Buji did not show mercy to some government officials who were slow to advance the census work, and took off more than 300 hats of all sizes after an order.

Xu Buji used this kind of behavior to tell the officials of the world that the central government will give preferential treatment to those who work hard, but for those who are confused, they will resolutely kick back to their hometown to farm.

"Don't give the central government a reason, saying that there are objective difficulties, and there are difficulties that cannot be overcome? If the difficulties cannot be overcome and solved, then what does the imperial court want this group of officials to do, is it because the treasury has too much money to spend, or the food that the people have worked so hard to grow is not eaten! ”

Liaodong was choked enough by Xu Buji, but the report card handed over was dazzling enough.

Because of the annexation to the former Korea, and the millions of people in Jiangnan who broke into the eastern part of the country, Liaodong Province actually reported 6,763,247 people.

The numbers are straight down to the individual.

There may still be scattered people in Kuye, Mohe, Tunguska and parts of the north, but those are really not taken care of and counted, and the cabinet is not too serious to compare them.

For example, the cabinet does not have a mandatory requirement for a detailed census.

Thousands of miles of grasslands, coupled with the vast area of Siberia that was given the name by Zhu Yunwen to the north, galloping with horsepower, it can't be finished in a year, let alone looking for people.

The three Moting only counted the population living on the grassland, having contacts in daily life, and being able to be mobilized at any time.

One million seven hundred and fifty-four thousand.

Among them, the number of Han Chinese has reached 1.35 million.

If the army is recruited according to the habits of the nomads, only three desert courts can pull out 500,000 string control men galloping on horseback at any time.

The future enemy of the Ming Dynasty is only the brother wall within the Han family, and there will never be any alien race that can bring any threat to the Ming Dynasty.

The provinces and regions with the greatest difficulty in the census brought about by the geographical location are nothing more than the four places of Liaodong, Moting, Anxi and Wusizang, among which, because Anxi has just been taken, plus the conquest and war for nearly ten years, Dingkou only has a pitiful 530,000, or the people left by the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

There are Uighurs, there are Greens, there are also a small number of Mongolians and Arabs, there are no Han Chinese, and the ethnic composition is extremely unfavorable to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Most of the Uszang were Buddhist serfs, and several generations of Dharma kings were also considered obedient people, and they would basically go to Nanjing every few years to make a pilgrimage, kneeling at Zhu Yunwen's feet and waiting for the coronation.

The white signature of the project was thrown to the Department of General Administration, and it will be dealt with if you can remember it in the future.

The total territory of these four regions occupies almost half of the territory of the Ming Dynasty (Moting and Liaodong are too big), but the total population is only 10.64 million, which is a very small proportion.

Beginning inland, the number of reports to the cabinet in these provinces is much higher.

"Second only to Nanzhili is Zhejiang, with a population of more than 9.63 million, which is almost the same as the sum of the previous four regions."

The officials of the Household Administration Department took the summary of the provincial reports in the Fengtian Temple, and reported to the highest levels of the ruling Ming Dynasty, including Zhu Yunwen.

This figure is reasonable, Zhu Yunwen is also the head of the chin, after all, Zhejiang is the region that has experienced the least wars in hundreds of years, even if there is a melee at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it is also the first place to be ruled by Emperor Taizu.

"6.65 million in Fujian, 6.43 million in Shandong, 5.5 million in Shanxi, 4.7 million in Hebei, 4.8 million in Shaanxi, 2.16 million in Gansu, 5.49 million in Henan, 5.23 million in Huguang, 3.76 million in Sichuan, 3.2 million in Yunnan, 2.94 million in Guangxi, 4.49 million in Guangdong, 9.84 million in Jiangxi, 2.55 million in Guizhou, 4.12 million in Jiaozhi, and 1.66 million in Taiwan.

Together with the 15,540,000 in Nanzhili, the total population of the country is 109,330,000! ”

One hundred and ninety-nine million three hundred and thirty thousand!

Not to mention the cabinet, even Zhu Yunwen himself stood up involuntarily.

Ding Kou has broken 10,000.

Before, the whole of Nanjing was speculating whether it could break 8,000, that is, everyone was very confident, but at most they only estimated 8,06 to 8,008, which was the kind of wild talk that even guessed 9,000, and they laughed after speaking.

No one dares to hope for more than 100 million.

But today's statistics brought by the Department of Household Affairs have really exceeded 100 million.

At the end of the First Five-Year Plan, it was 73.14 million, and the gap in the middle has reached 36.19 million!

Where did it come from?

Calculating the growth rate in the middle, the growth rate of the compound population has exceeded 4 percent!

"Is there something wrong with the data?"

Although Zhu Yunwen hopes that this data is true, because this number will become one of the biggest merit points after his death.

The dynasty left by Emperor Hongwu has a population of only 60 million.

If it is doubled in his hands, it is a kind of prosperity that no one is qualified to question anymore.

The territory is unprecedentedly large, and Dingkou is unprecedented.

This is not called the Shengshi Dynasty, which ancestral dynasty dares to be the first in front of the Ming Dynasty?

"You can't go wrong, it's true."

The official of the household administration department held his breath, suppressed his excitement, and stated: "The data of each province are all recorded by the Hongwu Dynasty earlier for correspondence.

Not to mention the Hongwu Dynasty, it was the time of the First Five-Year Plan, and the statistics at that time were less than the five provinces of Wusizang, Anxi, Jiaozhi, Taiwan and Guizhou, which was already a difference of more than 10 million.

Moreover, during the First Five-Year Plan, the number of Dingkou in Liaodong was not counted and recorded in the household department, so this was a difference of more than 6.7 million.

It is true that the total number of other provinces has grown too fast, but the progress of urbanization is the most important reason, a large number of villages in the suburbs have been deserted, and the people have moved to the cities for easy statistics.

Visiting the house to conduct a census and check the population has deprived the private slaves hidden by the landlord's family the opportunity to hide themselves.

The abolition of slavery and the restriction of servitude in the early years made a large number of subordinates and maids employed by landlords, rich people, and gentry lords free to enter the people.

After the order of returning farmland, most of the people lived in the city, and the city became larger, and the people-to-people exchanges were close, which promoted the union between men and women, and allowed them to have children.

Therefore, to sum up, the 36.19 million dingkou that has been suspended should be cut out of 18 million, and the actual number of newly registered and young children is only more than 18 million. ”

The explanation of the Department of Household Affairs has made it completely acceptable to everyone, and it is true that the statistics of the First Five-Year Plan are not true and detailed, and several provinces have not counted them.

At that time, the actual number should have been about 90 million, but after a decade of processing and the addition of several million in North Korea, it has risen to 109 million today

In this way, the growth rate is about 1.5 percent, which is the normal growth rate of a prosperous dynasty.

After repeated confirmations, Zhu Yunwen laughed.

"Yuan Xiu Song History, talking about the prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty, but more than 10,000 empty words, and now I have a Ming Dynasty of 100 million and 9 million, governing the Tang and Song dynasties, and governing the Tang and Song dynasties!"

At this moment, whoever shoots Zhu Yunwen's ass again, he Zhu Yunwen can accept it calmly.

"The prosperous world of Xuanhe relies on the Holy Monarch in the court, Your Majesty's achievements have been eternal, and virtue has been eternal!"

The wise man had already begun to sing the congratulatory message, and in an instant, the mountain cry suddenly rose.

After being touted to the comfort of his body, Zhu Yunwen waved his hand with a smile and stopped the cheers.

"Dingkou over 100 million, naturally it is the joy of the country, but in addition to the joy, I also hope that Zhu Qing can feel the weight on his shoulders more, this is hundreds of millions of mouths waiting to eat."

With this reminder, the Fengtian Temple, which was originally jubilant, suddenly became cold.

Everyone came to their senses, and it was indeed a good thing to have a large population, but for those of them who were in charge of their own affairs, such a large population was not all a good thing, and the pressure on their shoulders was so heavy.

"You always call me saints, I am really sacred, how can hundreds of millions of people govern me, I still need to be Sasuke."

Zhu Yunwen could already feel the heavy burden on his shoulders, no less than the overturned burden of Mount Tai.

In such a huge country, in an era when Dingkou has multiplied and grown infinitely and all walks of life in society have begun to prosper and develop to form a certain order, it is no longer something that a so-called emperor can completely control through advanced vision.

In the context of a specific historical era, with the development and transformation of the country's domestic society, there will inevitably be a new appeal, which may be proactive, such as the working hour system mentioned by the factory director when Xu Buji investigated the Nanjing factory.

This is the call for the initiative of the workers, and this is only one of the thousands of microcosms of the call of the times.

More appeals are passive, including the so-called 'Marlos spiritual demand level' is only one of them, and more are the governance needs that are closely related to the people's lives after being inspired by the people's wisdom.

Whether this demand is universally idealized or rationalized is the biggest and most difficult question facing the rulers.

This appeal is a kind of passivity of the whole national society.

What is even more frustrating is that there is almost no solution to this appeal.

What is Universal Idealized Governance?

This is what we often call the so-called ideal country.

The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, which is a universal idealization based on the equality of all people before the law.

This country is a country where no roads are left behind, no doors are closed at night, everyone abides by the law, and everyone has high morals, this is a universal ideal.

So what is rational governance?

Because the road is not forgotten, the house is not closed at night, and everyone is morally noble, a desperate poor man was born and stole the property of a family.

From then on, the family of the person who lost the property began to suspect the neighbor around him, and the neighbor who was close to him was stolen by the first robber, and began to suspect the family of the first person who stole it.

Under the dispute, there is a public judgment.

In the end, because there was no evidence, the case was invalidated, and each of them was hit with 50 boards.

This is rational governance.

But the only impact of this result is that every household in this county, where roads are not left behind and homes are not closed at night, is closed.

The people began to learn to be suspicious of their neighbors, embankments for every stranger they saw.

The moral and moral society is easy to collapse at this moment.

The times are calling for better and better ways of governance, and the people are also calling for better and better ways of governance, but the people and the times are always swaying left and right in ideals and rationalization.

Therefore, this appeal is difficult to be addressed by the authorities.

If it cannot be solved, it is the crux of the birth of the contradiction.

If an emperor can govern such a huge country by himself, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, and history has proved that anyone who thinks this way will end up in failure and ruin.

Not to mention 100 million, it was Dingkou that broke the threshold of 50 million, the Han and Tang dynasties, when the volume was the largest, it was precisely the time when it was prosperous and declining.

When later generations were compiling history, they always habitually put the blame on the head of a certain emperor, saying how incompetent the emperor was, which was undoubtedly a kind of hooliganism.

Can Chongzhen be blamed for the demise of the Ming Dynasty?

Based on the background of the times, social contradictions, the national economy, the maladministration of the ancestral system, and political involution, we have already done a review, and it is destined not to be able to turn the tide by changing the emperor, but to start all over again without breaking or establishing a road.

Overthrow a dynasty and establish a new one.

You let Chongzhen bury the Ming Dynasty with his own hands and build a new dynasty, so is he the king of the Ming Dynasty or the founding ancestor of the new dynasty?

Based on the historical lessons of the previous dynasty, the Zhao and Song dynasties established a new social management system for the state to exercise its rule, which met the needs of the people for governance.

At the end of the Song Dynasty, whether it was economic strength, population size and quality of life, whether it was indeed much better than that of the Han and Tang dynasties, the answer obtained was inevitable, and there was nothing worth refutating.

And now, the Song Dynasty has also perished, and the first great unified dynasty established by the non-Han people, the Yuan, has also perished, and the demise of these two dynasties, especially the destruction of the old empire of Yuan, can be summed up for future generations of dynasties There are too many lessons to be learned.

At this point, the current Daming has not yet realized this.

"The defeat of Meng Yuan was defeated by Yi Di stealing Shenzhou."

This is based on the idea of ethnic differences.

No one has ever carefully examined the replacement of the three generations of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties.

And right now, Daming's Dingkou has also broken 100 million, and it is a veritable boss empire.

The external enemy, the world is unlikely to be qualified to challenge the Ming Dynasty, and the only enemy of the Ming Dynasty is the social contradictions that will and will inevitably appear internally.

"The first thing to govern is to govern the country, and now I am a Ming Dynasty, and I have more than 100 million mouths, I am under pressure, and I also need to feel the pressure, so I will give an assignment today.

When you return to the house after the resignation of the emperor, you will write an article about today's incident. ”

Zhu Yunwen emphasized: "Why do I have today's prosperity, and how should I maintain today's prosperity in the future, and even go further." ”

Everyone knows in their hearts that this is a big test, although it is hard, they still bow down and receive their orders.

"Obey my Emperor's holy decree."
