Chapter 260: Start with the household registration file
As one of the most intuitive big data of national strength.
These archives are so confusing, cumbersome, and vague.
I'm afraid that in the entire Tang Dynasty, there can be millions of black households, and this is not counting those who sold themselves into slavery.
Also, the data update is also unreasonable, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Although there is no way to update data like this in time due to the lack of information development, it should be updated once a year so that we can have the most intuitive understanding of the country.
Only by having a clear understanding of the people under their rule can we make a more accurate approximation of the taxes they incur. Instead of being as it is now, even taxes are vague.
After carefully reading several file files, Ye Mu listed the problems one by one.
The first problem is the lack of a form that can be scientifically documented. In this way, the record can be more simple and clear, and it is more convenient to consult and update the household registration file.
Today, this kind of account is not only confusing, but also error-prone.
Second, there is a lack of simple numbers. Although there are already one, two, three, and four numbers, it is still more cumbersome to remember.
Again, Arabic numerals are much shorter than this one. If you use Arabic numerals, it will be more convenient for various places that need to use numbers.
This is also why, in just a hundred years, Arabic numerals will unify the world and become a universal number, and its advantages are naturally undoubted.
Third, the records are vague, and they should not be recorded directly by one household, but one should be recorded by each person, and then the household registration of one household should be placed together.
Fourth, the update of household registration information is slow, whether there is a newborn again, whether the person recorded has died for various reasons, or is missing, or has committed a crime and is in prison, it is not updated in time.
This will lead to the old household registration of the population of Datang, and it is also one of the sources of confusion.
If you want to say one more, Ye Mu feels that not having a fixed year is a big mistake.
At this time, Western countries were using the Western calendar.
On the Tang side, it is a chaotic era name.
Every time an emperor dies and ascends the throne, the era name is changed and then the beginning is counted.
Even, before the emperor died, he himself changed the era name over and over again.
In history, the most changed era names are Wu Zetian, who will become Emperor Wu Zhou if the future remains unchanged, has changed eighteen times in twenty-one years, and the shortest is even only three months.
This can lead to extremely confusing recording time.
And under it, is Li Zhi, who reigned for thirty-four years and changed fourteen, according to the frequency, it is much better than Wu Zetian.
And the third is Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, who created the imperial chronology, and changed eleven in the more than 50 years of his reign.
I have a bad memory, in the era of these three people, you can't figure out how old someone is when you ask him when he was born.
These points are all important issues in the current household registration file and even some other aspects, and if they can be reformed, it will be a pretty good start, and it will also have a good effect on the Huaxia civilization.
The reason why Ye Mu looked at the household registration file was to start with this, and now, he has found out five big problems and some small problems, so he naturally does what he says.
Picking up a clean book and unfolding it, Ye Mu began to grind, while closing his eyes, typing the draft in his heart and polishing it.
Of course, he naturally wouldn't be like those literati, who made a simple and clear note that should be written, and the content was clear and clear.
When he opened his eyes, Ye Mubi walked the dragon and snake, and a beautiful block letter jumped on the paper.
His calligraphy attainments are not weak at all, and he was rated as a master of calligraphy at this time, and he was also named Ouyang Xun of the four major masters of regular script in later generations.
Speaking of him, some people may not know, but everyone after him basically knows the regular script, that is Yan Zhenqing.
And fortunately because of the system, in the future, he will be among the four masters of regular script in the Tang Dynasty, and the five masters of regular script.
In thousands of words, Ye Mu wrote a sprinkled list, listed the problems one by one, and then explained the impact of these problems one by one, and then gave solutions one by one, and then explained the advantages and benefits of these solutions.
A book of music is effortless to read, and it is written with reason and evidence, which is very convincing.
Like what is the more scientific form, more convenient Arabic numerals, separate files and household registration regulations, personal political situation, the nature of household registration, personnel status, one by one the head is the way, in simple terms, the table is also neatly drawn.
In addition to these, he also wrote about the disadvantages of the era name and the confusion it caused, and then gave the chronology of the AD calendar, the advantages and advantages of the AD, and the disadvantages and disadvantages of not having the AD calendar.
All in all, if you read it throughout, it can be said that you can't find a single mistake or omission, and it's easy to accept.
Because Ye Mu also gave a very intuitive comparison between before and after the reform, as long as it is not the kind of faint monarch and mediocre monarch, if no one stops him, Ye Mu's performance has a considerable probability of being accepted.
After writing the fold, Ye Mu washed the brush, and then hung it on the pen holder, then picked up the fold and slowly dried the wet place.
On the side, seeing Ye Mu looking at the household registration file for a while, and then starting to write a book, Zhou Yuanwailang couldn't help but be a little curious.
That long series of recitals can have at least 3,000 words, which can be regarded as a very long recital.
'Could it be that this Ye Mu is really talented? This is just the Ministry of Households, and after reading the file for a while, you can write such a long recital? It should be the bookish spirit of young people, probably because it was the first time to write a concerto. ’
Secretly glanced twice, and after seeing Ye Muchui's dry play, he put it together, and Zhou Yuanwailang lowered his head and continued to do his own thing.
Ye Mu picked up the written recital, full of confidence in his heart, but he was definitely full of uncertainty about the result.
I walked out of the house and looked at the sky, where the sun was already a stroke higher, and it was about nine o'clock in the morning.
Next to it is Zheng Langzhong's house, and Ye Mu's purpose is to give Zheng Langzhong a fold.
Because Ye Mu is a foreigner and has a sixth-rank official, he does not have the qualifications to participate in the court meeting, but he just has the qualifications to play the table.
However, at his level, the upper table must be told to his superiors.
His recital had to be read by his superiors first, approved and approved, and then decided whether to hand it over. If Shangguan is stuck here, then there is no chance to play.
And after Zheng Langzhong finishes reviewing here, he still needs to be approved if he submits it upwards.
In short, it is approved layer by layer, and finally it can reach the hands of the emperor.
Otherwise, the approval is not strict, and all cats and dogs will write and hand them up, and the emperor will have to look at the recitals just by looking at them.
And if there is anything to write to criticize the emperor or go against the grain, you can also get stuck early, and the emperor of the province will be furious.
