Chapter 138: Cheating

After sending Zheng Quan away, Zhang Yue asked people to send this large box of documents to the Kanyu room.

Then he commanded: "The official should read the papers, and you all retreat downstairs, and no one is allowed to go upstairs to disturb the official!" Do you understand? ”

"No!" Although the eunuchs did not understand, they never needed to understand in the palace, they only needed to obey.

When they all retreated, the footsteps in the stairwell grew farther and farther away.

Zhang Yue sat down, took out the documents in the box, one by one, and put them on the table.

Soon, the table could not be placed, so it could only be placed on the ground.

In a short time, it became a small hill of several feet in size.

Looking at these documents, Zhang Yue pursed his lips, if it were someone else, I am afraid that it would take at least two or three days just to read all these documents once and roughly browse them once.

If you want to study something from it, it will take at least half a month.

However......

In front of Zhang Yue, these documents are not worth mentioning.

He sat down in front of the desk and read all the documents at a speed of almost ten lines at a glance.

It is almost a speed of reading a volume a minute, two or three hundred cents, and in less than an hour, it is quickly browsed.

Putting down the last document, Zhang Yue stood up, walked to the door, pushed open the door and carefully looked at the entire attic, until he confirmed that there were no figures or voices, and then he closed the door again.

Then I found a place in a secluded corner of the bookshelf, sat down, and closed my eyes.

After a while, he appeared in the space and walked to the foot of the hill.

At this time, two of the seven Jinyu trees had grown naturally to the point where they could bear fruit.

Judging from the test, the result CD of these Jin Yu wood should be about a month.

This is also in line with Zhang Yue's previous speculation.

Since this is the case, Zhang Yue naturally knows that he has to use it quickly when the CD is transferred.

Otherwise, it's a waste!

He took two rolls from the bamboo slips he had prepared, took them, walked to a mature Jinyu tree, and placed them under it.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yue returned to the Kanyu room.

At this moment, in his mind, all the contents of Xinfeng County are like information stored on the hard disk, as long as he wants to know, his mind will immediately appear.

"This cheating method is quite cool......" Zhang Yue said with a smile and in a low voice.

With Jin Yumu's backtracking function, he can completely reproduce everything he wants to remember in his heart in the future.

Really become the kind of superman who never forgets and has a great memory.

Just like Fang Cai, the three hundred and eight points of documents, notes and reports are now familiar by heart.

It's just that the documents, archives and reports of the Han Dynasty, the data and facts on display, are a bit messy.

Zhang Yue thought about it, so he found a three-foot-long silk cloth in the Kanyu room, and then picked up the pen and made a table on the silk cloth.

The data of the chronology and date mentioned in the documents and reports that he traces are sorted separately.

Since the tenth year of Emperor Gao, Liyi was changed to Xinfeng County, until today.

The documents of Xinfeng County in the past dynasties, the reports of the ministers, the recitals of the historians, the investigation of Xinfeng County and the census of population and land in the internal history of the past dynasties are all listed on the table.

This thing is very trivial to do, but fortunately, Zhang Yue's memory after spatial backtracking is enough to enable him to retrieve and extract relevant data at any time like a computer.

Even so, he was busy until the early hours of the next morning, when he finished the form.

Looking at the table on the cloth, Zhang Yue put down the pen and laughed heartily: "That's right!" ”

At this time, the table presented in front of him was a detailed report on the population, land, and people's property registration of Xinfeng County since Emperor Gao.

Emperor Gao, Emperor Taizong, and Emperor Xian have relatively little data before the beginning of the present day, and there is only a detailed overview.

This is also the Liu system.

When an archive reaches a certain age, it is destroyed, leaving only a summary document.

But these data also told Zhang Yue that Xinfeng County had changed basically before the first year of Taichu.

Since the beginning, the data has become detailed.

The household registration, taxes, property of the people, and the amount of livestock reported by the planner at each age are very detailed.

This is thanks to Zhang Cang, who was the famous minister of the Han family back then, who created the system of accounting and stipulated that detailed data of the past years must be reported in accordance with the mathematical situation.

It's just that......

Looking at the table, Zhang Yue's mood was a little heavy.

As can be seen from the table, in the past 100 years, the population of Xinfeng County has increased tenfold, reaching more than 50,000 registered people.

The number of registered households has increased sixfold, from only 2,000 at the time of Emperor Gao, to more than 12,100 registered households today.

However, the land area has only tripled.

From more than 20,000 acres at the time of Emperor Gao, it has increased to only 70,000 acres today.

Among them, there are many mountain terraces and sandy wastelands.

The area of real irrigated land is less than half.

In other words, the population of Xinfeng County is no longer proportional to the land.

The social model of one man and five people ruling all fields is collapsing.

Home-farming families are rapidly going bankrupt, and the number of the middle class is disappearing at a visible rate.

In their place were a large number of malnourished, ragged paupers, tenants and slaves.

The wealth of society is concentrating towards a small group of people.

Judging from the statistics of property, more than 70 percent of the land and 80 percent of the wealth and livestock in Xinfeng County are monopolized by no more than 30 percent of the population.

Although it is not yet possible to talk about the rich and the poor, there is no place for the poor.

However, the situation that the rich spend money and bury excessively, while the poor do not have enough clothes and food.

If it is not changed, in another twenty or thirty years, I am afraid that in the entire Xinfeng County, there will only be a few dozen landlords left to own land and wealth.

The others will become their slaves and tenant farmers.

"We have to find a way to change, find a way to expand the area of cultivated land, increase the scale of irrigated land...... Zhang Yue thought to himself.

The only good news is that after he takes office, he will still have a large amount of public land in his hands that can be used to adjust social contradictions.

The number of these public fields is about 7,000 acres.

It is the product of the policy of suing during the Yuan and Ding periods.

With these public lands, Zhang Yue still has the ability to redistribute social wealth and unfair images to a certain extent.

But it's not enough!

Because, from the form, Zhang Yue found a terrible problem - the household registration of Xinfeng County has not increased since the first year of Taichu!

On the contrary, in some years, there has been a negative growth in the hukou.

This is certainly not that the population has stopped growing.

Instead, a large number of people fled.

They disappeared from the horizon of the government, away from the control of the state.

Zhang Yue knew that after he took office, the first thing he had to do was probably to find a way to let these "disappeared" people who "did not exist" reappear on the household registration.

"It seems that I have to prepare to go to Xinfeng County for inspection......" Zhang Yue put the form away and thought secretly.
