Shi Jinchen spent a few days in the county seat, meeting with all kinds of lifters and talents every day, and then preparing to leave. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

According to the past practice, to Shi Jinchen's top boss to inspect various places, the local government is to give Cheng Yi (Hu Zongxian's son is afraid that Hai Rui Cheng Yi is too little and beats the errand service), Shi Jinchen was born in Jinshi, and the official is from the prefect of the fourth grade, of course, he will not beat the errand officer.

When leaving, he watched from a distance as Yang Xuan brought hundreds of catties of local products, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape, and he shook his head and sighed: "Zixiu, Hai Rui is a person who is on the top list, and you don't want to learn this Haigang Peak as a deputy leader, right?"

Yang Xuan laughed, shook his head and said: "My lord, you know that the main thing in the war is money, although this time I found 20,000 taels of silver from the corrupt officials (actually 30,000, to say less), but you old man think about it, the army owes pay for four months, plus the New Year or something, it is enough to use up 10,000 taels."

Money is needed for the resettlement of disaster victims, for the elimination of inferior soldiers, for recruiting new soldiers, for building weapons, and for local regimental training. ”

Shi Jinchen was quite angry in his heart, glared at Yang Xuan, thought for a while and said: "You, the old man was born in the top three jinshi, and he is iron-clad, and when you say this, it seems that he is here to fight the autumn wind?" ”

Yang Xuan was slightly stunned, and was about to take a closer look at the other party, when he suddenly saw Shi Jinchen angrily hurriedly put down the curtain and left in a sedan chair with eight people.

While coping with Shi Jinchen's surprise inspection, Yang Xuan also summarized the focus of the previous period, that is, to establish a formal administrative township under the county, which is a grass-roots formal administrative organ.

Judging from the feedback from all sides, in one month, the township-level administrative units of one fang (the county seat and its surroundings) in the county's ten townships (or markets) were basically established.

In the people, everyone has obviously begun to pay attention to the township as a formal administrative unit, not to mention that these new township chiefs and government officials are far from being comparable to those white servants and scoundrels in the past.

Eight of the ten township chiefs are from Xiucai, and two are also quite capable lieutenant chiefs, and everyone has a very good reputation and is quite virtuous in the local area.

Of the 23 officials, 10 of them had been the chief of the Lijia, 8 were retired soldiers, and the other 5 were scholars.

These people have experienced the warmth and coldness of the world in the past, and after the first township chief and the commissioner, they all trembled, so as not to damage their reputation.

More importantly, the background of the government, in the past, those white servants were only temporary workers, not only greedy and stealing from the people, but also those who wanted to work in the township office were completely unnecessary, and most of them were implemented in accordance with the regulations.

In less than a month, ten townships in the county and one square (such as the sub-district office in the city) were established.

After the establishment of township-level administrative units, in addition to collecting taxes in the market, and when it is not in the market, it will begin to clear the land and clean up the household registration.

The Ming Dynasty would re-clear the land and clean up the household registration once every ten years, but everyone was afraid of paying more, and many places completely implemented two sets of account books, that is, the same as reporting to the imperial court, and the account books used by the government for tax collection changed slightly.

However, in the past, the county yamen directly managed the following lijia, hundreds of lijia in the county, nearly 1,000 jia, and they couldn't manage it at all, and the actual management of lijia was the yagong's yagong.

In feudal society, although the official was powerful, it belonged to the work of the lowly people, and after committing the crime, he was at most given a larger board, or exempted from the errand of the official, and there was no supervision over his work.

Yang Xuan was different, he arrested more than 30 officials in the name of corruption and shot seven or eight of them, which not only shocked the public officials, but more importantly, told the world that the officials were not a paradise, and all the officials would be strictly supervised.

In addition, a township office was established under the county, and the township chiefs and officials were appointed to directly manage Lijia, and these township chiefs and officials collected taxes when they were in the market, and when they were not in the market, they handled other official duties.

In order to re-clear the land and clean up the household registration, Yang Xuan personally went out and took a cadre of scribes and government officials to carry out the work of clearing the zhang together with the local township head, government officer, lieutenant chief, and A chief.

Just like the rural contract responsibility system for seven or eight years, many villages do not measure the land at all, but determine the number of acres of land according to the actual output.

Of course, the same is true for the land this time, after the field inspection, the landlord and the chief of A report the actual output, and if it is thought that the difference is large, the actual measurement will be carried out.

Yang Xuan tried a few times, and the difference between the two was about 2 percent, that is, the actual field area was a little larger.

This can be said to be more lenient, but even so, many problems have been found, such as the fact that there are patches of land that are not in the account books of the past government land collection.

After a little inquiry, the answer was about to come out, most of the land was the land of the local squire, and in the past, the squires did not have to pay taxes or silver, or bribe the officials when they were clearing, so the land area reported was less than the actual one.

In addition to the fact that there is no registration in the fish scale book, the area is also quite large, and the fish scale book clearly states that there are 3 acres of fields, but in fact there are 4 acres.

In the past, the government servants and lieutenants often levied land taxes according to the area of 4 acres, why are there only 3 acres in the account books?

Even if the abandonment of the land in recent years is quite serious, and the two villages are cleared, the actual land area is more than four times that of the imperial court (the land area reported to the imperial court in Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty is very small, and the whole province is only 13 million mu, far less than the Northern Song Dynasty, less than other provinces), and it is also three or four percent more than the actual expropriation of the government in the past.

In addition to the land, the biggest difference is in the population, in the fish scale book of the two mountain villages there are just over 200 adult males, in fact there are already more than 600 adult males.

This is probably the reason why the barbarian Qing Yongzheng is engaged in the spread of the mu into the mu, this person is not fixed on the land like the land, this man can move at any time, or escape the famine or something, because of the difficulty of statistics, the barbarian Qing emperor came up with the method of spreading the mu into the mu, and those full relics actually claimed to praise the greatness of the master.

But how can this be a traversal of the clan? After a simple agreement, the method is born:

Re-divide the lijia, each with a maximum population of 130 households, if this number is exceeded, the li chief will not be able to control it at all.

For each household, the adult male and male are managed.

Each family was issued a household register, which recorded information such as occupation, family members, main assets, and tax collection, as is the case in the current household register.

In addition to the household registration booklet, all adult men and women are issued with free identity cards. In ancient China, although ordinary people did not have identity cards, officials and soldiers did.

All officials had a status symbol, some made of pure gold, some of which were made of pure silver, and some of which were made of bronze.

All soldiers also have iron waist cards.

It contains the person's name, date of birth, position, personal information, and other information.

In that case, why don't you get an ancient ID card?

The ID card is a paper hard card, which includes the person's name, date of birth, address, physiognomy and other information, and has the signature of the county household, township and the manager, which is counterfeit.

The Ming Dynasty was the heyday of China's small-scale peasant economy, and in order to keep everyone firmly in control of the locality, it was stipulated that people who left their places of residence should open roads for hundreds of miles, and ID cards could replace this kind of hometown leaving permits to ensure that villagers could move freely.

However, the road guide needs to be opened at the county yamen, which is very troublesome to handle, while the ID card is different, and everyone is issued free of charge, which can prevent rogues and bandits from sneaking in.

Now it is a troubled time, bandits are rampant, and some even collude with local tyrants, who often disguise themselves as ordinary people during the day to step on the village, or steal farm livestock in the middle of the night, or directly rob them blatantly.

After having an ID card, if you see a stranger, the official and the head of the Lijia can ask him to show his ID card, if not, then I'm sorry, I need to be locked up in the township office.

If it is confirmed that it is a tyrant, bandit and other outlaw, a bounty of 5 silver will be given.

If you are an ordinary citizen, you only need to pay a fine of 1 penny, and if you lose your ID card, you only need to pay 1 penny.

In order to avoid everyone's resistance to the household registration book and ID card, Yang Xuan came up with a workaround, that is, the household registration book and ID card were initially issued without any charge, and they were issued completely free of charge.

However, if you are caught without your ID card, you will need to pay a fine, and if you lose your ID card, you will need to pay a replacement fee.

Ordinary people pay special attention to money, they will be fined if they don't bring it, and they have to pay a fee for reissuing it if they are lost, everyone is for money, just like the temporary residence permit in Guangdong before 03 years, everyone cherishes it very much.

In addition, all the fines belong to the chief of the Lijia and the official who checked it, and the re-application fee goes to the county household, and in this case, the following is also very tight.

After finding such a way to make money, those Lijia chiefs and township chiefs were also very happy, and they desperately looked for strangers with a pair of thief eyes.

Under these circumstances, the work of clearing land and household registration has been gradually implemented.
