Chapter 604: Zhuge Liang's Observations

Pang Tong's worries were correct, there was a big mouth in the wine table today that spread his deeds widely, causing everyone under Liu Yu's command to know Pang Tong's deeds. This person is the one who beats Pang Tong the most. So much so that later, every time Pang Tong saw Dian Wei, he always wanted to repay this "great favor" in various ways.

Pang Tong finally drank high and was carried back by Cui Jun and other friends. Because Pang Tong did not arrange a residence now, Cui Jun carried Pang Tong back to his residence so as not to sleep on the streets.

First of all, he was depressed and borrowed alcohol to kill his sorrows. Secondly, he didn't know that Luo Bingquan's degree was so high and so easy to get on. In the end, Pang Tong got drunk for the first time in his life.

When Pang Tong was carried back, Zhuge Liang, who was as famous as him, was now bringing his daughter-in-law to Luoyang City.

After Zhuge Liang left Wollongong in Longzhong, he took Huang Yueying and headed towards Luoyang. It's just that when Zhuge Liang was on the road, he often stopped to enjoy the mountains and rivers. The main reason is that Zhuge Liang feels that he hasn't brought Huang Yueying out for a long time, and he wants to make up for Huang Yueying.

So stopping and enjoying the magnificent scenery along the way, the two spent a lot of time coming to Luoyang.

Now the majestic Luoyang City has appeared in front of Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying.

Huang Yueying poked her head out of the carriage and said to Zhuge Liang. "Husband, is this Luoyang? It's majestic. It is taller and bigger than Xiangyang. ”

"The national capital of the Han Dynasty, after hundreds of years of construction, this is the first city in the world." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"It's going to be very bustling inside, let's get inside." Huang Yueying was a little impatient.

"Yueying, sit tight." Zhuge Liang jumped on his horse and drove the carriage towards the city gate.

The soldiers defending the city stopped Zhuge Liang and demanded that Zhuge Liang show his identification. Zhuge Liang was used to this kind of thing, and took out the identity certificate in his arms.

This identity certificate was also done in a county town after Zhuge Liang entered Liu Yu's territory. A new identification system has been implemented in Liu Yu's territory, and anyone who enters Liu Yu's territory must have an identity certificate. Zhuge Liang was blocked by a county order at that time, and it took a long time to prove that he was not a bad person or a fine worker.

After the county order figured out Zhuge Liang's innocence, he immediately apologized to Zhuge Liang, and after knowing that Zhuge Liang was going to Luoyang, he gave Zhuge Liang an identity certificate, so that he could pass unhindered under Liu Yu's rule.

This type of identity document is different from the previous identity documents, and it contains the individual's name and address, and even a number.

Because Zhuge Liang was not a common man under Liu Yu's rule, he was an outsider, and there was no way to prove exactly where he came from, so the county order issued a temporary identity certificate to Zhuge Liang. If you use this identity certificate to walk under Liu Yuzhi, you must be checked, and it will also be recorded, and finally summarized to Captain Sili. Si Li's lieutenant Li Gui Li Zhongyun and Lord Li will let the "dark department" sort out all these materials and investigate them carefully, so as not to give the other princes' detailed work too many opportunities to enter Liu Yu's territory.

Zhuge Liang was very curious about this new system, and specially asked the county order about it. The county magistrate felt that Zhuge Liang was polite and polite, and he should not be a bad person, and he also told the relevant details of this system. Moreover, Liu Yu issued relevant orders, requiring local officials to publicize the system to the people, and the county order was also in accordance with Liu Yu's orders.

In fact, this system is a set of management systems that are very suitable for Liu Yu's reign by referring to the household registration system and the ID card system of later generations, plus the system of the Han Dynasty.

This system classified the Shinong industry and commerce, and all the Han people except for the Han clan became Han people, which was supported by the majority of the people. The clan members of the Han family have their own clan plates, and those old stubbornness in the Han family cannot be changed by Liu Yu with a word.

Foreigners could not obtain identity certificates, and it was very difficult for other foreigners to enter Han land, let alone obtain identity certificates, except for the envoys who paid tribute. Liu Yu originally wanted to relax it, but the ministers of the DPRK and China unanimously opposed it, and they insisted that those who were not of our race would have different hearts, and they were unwilling to make any changes to this article. In this era, the idea of the superiority of the Han people has been deeply rooted in the blood of every Han people, and the entire nation has a sense of blood and pride, and other ethnic groups are called barbarians. This is also the reason why a mixed-race person like Huang Yueying is not treated well by others.

In the end, Liu Yu could only use his emperor's rights, and stated a clause in the clause: If a foreigner wants to become a Han Chinese, he can only do it with the special approval of the Han Emperor.

As for the people of the other princes, it would have been much easier to obtain identification. They must first obtain a temporary identity certificate, and then voluntarily accept the government's arrangement, live in the area for three years, and then they can apply to become the people of the place, become good citizens under Liu Yu's rule, and accept Liu Yu's rule. Before they officially became good citizens, they would have to pay a little higher taxes than other people who had been given identification, but within the acceptable range of outsiders. As soon as the three-year period expires, then you can go to the government to apply for a household registration. Liu Yu has always adopted a system of low taxes, and he is very merciful to the people under his rule, almost no taxes are raised to the people, and the supervision of officials in tax collection is very strict. This is Liu Yu's most iron-blooded policy. Compared with the tyranny of other princes, Liu Yu is the most benevolent son of heaven in the hearts of the people, and they are all willing to come to Liu Yu's side to live. The other princes took various measures to prevent the loss of population, and to a certain extent, they were in opposition to Liu Yu's policies. In the same way, the princes began to treat their people well, so as not to be bewitched by Liu Yu.

This temporary identity certificate has a time limit, usually one month, after the expiration of the period, you must go to the local government to reissue, otherwise, once it is found that it has not been reissued, you will be immediately expelled, and if you commit a crime or espionage operation, you will even be imprisoned and punished.

And the identity certificate in Zhuge Liang's hand is a temporary identity certificate, every time he goes to a city, he has to register at the city gate, and the officials will also indicate when he came to a certain place on the temporary identity certificate.

At the same time, the armor protection system was also implemented, which was parallel to the new identity certification system and the household registration system, and there was no conflict between the three.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but admire Liu Yu's unbridled innovation, and being able to come up with this novel and effective method did have a good effect on attracting the people, and it could also prevent spies from other forces from appearing in the territory.

Zhuge Liang walked in Liu Yu's territory for a long time, and found that the people under Liu Yu's rule lived better than the people of other princes, and the officials were more friendly.

Zhuge Liang was born in Langya County, Xuzhou, which is a very wealthy place and a rare place for the people of the Han Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment. But Zhuge Liang, who was young at the time, could also see people freezing to death on the side of the road. After Zhuge Liang arrived in Jingzhou, Jingzhou was a rare place of tranquility in troubled times under Liu Biao's rule, but the situation of frozen bones on Zhumen's wine and meat stinky road has always existed.

It's just that after Zhuge Liang entered Liu Yu's territory, he didn't find the displaced people begging along the street along the way. After a little inquiry, Zhuge Liang knew why this was the case.

The government of the Shenwu Imperial Court would gather all the people who could not survive, distribute grain, seeds, and arable land, and give them cultivation, and the land tax was only 30% of the income. It doesn't matter if there is not much arable land, the government will organize the reclamation, of course, the necessary food and tools will be distributed, and the tax revenue of the reclaimed fields will be 50% within five years, and after 5 years, this tax will become 30%.

If you don't want to be farmers, that's okay, the government will arrange for these people to work, and cities, rivers, and roads need huge manpower to repair. The government will take care of the food, and there will be wages to be paid. Although the salary is not much, it is enough to support a small family. It was the first time Zhuge Liang had heard that the government would pay wages for repairing these things. In the past, these were all considered labor, and it was good that the government could manage a meal. The other princes all forced the people to pay for free, how could they pay wages like Liu Yu. In the end, I learned that this was Liu Yu's initiative, and Zhuge Liang admired Liu Yu's courage, what a big expense it was, if it was used to compete for hegemony, I am afraid it could increase a lot of combat power.

Zhuge Liang is not from later generations, he doesn't know that Liu Yu is using the way of work for relief to revitalize the economy in his territory, and the wages obtained by the people are used to support themselves or their families and buy necessary daily necessities, so after many circulations, the money will return to Liu Yu's hands, which can invigorate Liu Yu's economy. Only when the economy is strong will the national strength be strong. Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment will the population continue to grow and the number of soldiers will increase. To put it mildly, the wool comes out of the sheep, where can Liu Yu be so generous.

Those who are not afraid of death or have nothing to worry about, they can enlist in the army and make meritorious contributions, but many people have the best way to gain a wealth for future generations.

With so many options to keep the people alive, there are naturally not so many jobless vagrants and beggars on the streets. If they were really born lazy, the government would not ignore them, and would use coercive means to detain them all, and then assign them to a bitter cold place.

It can be said that after a series of operations, the people in Liu Yu's territory have been used to the maximum, and each of them has their own position, and they will not cause chaos because of idleness. There are not so many idle people on the streets, and the law and order are much better.

The people worship Emperor Shenwu very much, and deeply believe that Emperor Shenwu was given to the Han by God, and without his existence, the Han may still be in chaos.

"The officials are clear and clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Han Dynasty has the image of a prosperous era." Zhuge Liang sighed inwardly.

The city gate guards in Luoyang checked Zhuge Liang's identification and handed it to an officer. The officer took Zhuge Liang's temporary identity certificate, looked at it, looked Zhuge Liang up and down and said, "Kong Er? The word is bright? Nanyang people? ”

"It's really down." Kong Er is Zhuge Liang's pseudonym, and he will not reveal his real name.

"Seeing that you are polite, you must be a scholarly family, why did you choose this name?" The officer was a little suspicious of Zhuge Liang's true identity, seeing that this person in front of him was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament, it was a little strange to call Kong Er.

"The family is in the middle of the road, and the old father is an illiterate banker, and several brothers are named Ah Da and Ah Er. I've been reading for a few years, so I'm lucky. Zhuge Liang naturally had some rhetoric.

The officer believed it, there are too many illiterate people in this era, and some of these people's children are still called Ah Niu and Ah Dog, which is not surprising.

"You are from Nanyang, what are you doing in Luoyang?" The officer continued.

"I have never been to Luoyang in Xia and Cheap, and I heard that Luoyang is very prosperous, so I came here on purpose." Zhuge Liang said.

"You're getting a temporary ID and, as is customary, needs to be checked. Please let the people in the carriage get down, and we'll have to check it. I hope to cooperate. The officer said businessmanly.

A group of soldiers defending the city approached, they were not worried that Zhuge Liang would resist, but the necessary precautions were required.

"Nature." Zhuge Liang entered the carriage and walked out with Huang Yueying. They got used to it all the way, and Liu Yu's soldiers would only check it, and they wouldn't be too embarrassed.

As soon as the officer saw Huang Yueying, he was convinced of Zhuge Liang's identity, and only if he fell into the middle of the family would he take such an ugly wife.

The soldiers inspected the wagon and found nothing suspicious. So the officer also ordered to get out of the way, indicate on the temporary identification card when to enter Luoyang City, and let Zhuge Liang and them enter Luoyang City.

"Remember, when the sun goes down, be sure to find a place to stay. You're a temporary ID card, and it's going to be a hassle if you're encountered by a patrol at night. The officer admonished.

"I'm tired." Zhuge Liang bowed his hand to the officer, got back into the carriage, and walked into Luoyang City with Huang Yueying.

After Zhuge Liang walked away, the officer sighed with emotion: "It's a pity that such a handsome man married such an ugly wife." ”

The officer remembered the yellow-faced woman in his family, and it seemed that his luck was good, at least his daughter-in-law was much better looking than the person's daughter-in-law just now.

After sighing, the officer began the inspection work again, and he did not have much time to waste.

Huang Yueying just noticed that the officer's disgust for herself, her appearance was really embarrassing to Zhuge Liang, and she couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Zhuge Liang noticed his wife's strange appearance, gently hugged Huang Yueying with his arm, and said with a smile: "Don't think so much." No matter what other people think of you, I, Zhuge Liang, will be good to you for the rest of my life. ”

"Hmm." Huang Yueying felt Zhuge Liang's gentleness, nodded slightly, and snuggled in Zhuge Liang's arms.

"Drive!" Zhuge Liang lightly whipped the horses and drove the carriage on.
