The hukou system is an important system for managing the population of the whole country, which not only grasps the population situation of the whole country based on the household registration information, but also uses it as a basis for levying taxes, assigning labor and conscripting soldiers.

Therefore, in order to consolidate their rule and ensure tax revenue, rulers often rectified and formulated the country's household registration as soon as they grasped power.

Today's Tang Dynasty is no exception, the management of household registration is relatively strict, and a set of special management systems have been formed, stipulating that the state will conduct a check on the household registration every three years, and the obtained household registration information will be in triplicate, one will be left in the county, one will be sent to the state, and one will be sent to the household department. The accounting for tax collection is prepared on the basis of household registration; In order to ensure the accuracy of the account books as much as possible, the accounts are generally adjusted every other year.

However, in today's troubled times, the displaced people are everywhere, the people are not able to make a living, and the household registration system has also lost its effectiveness, and the corresponding accounting has not been adjusted for a long time, so that many places are still using the old account book more than ten years ago to collect taxes.

Since Yang Xingmi completely defeated Sun Ru to pacify Jianghuai ten years ago, he has repeatedly ordered all localities to appease the displaced people and resume production, although some results have been achieved, so that Jianghuai has recovered some vitality, but the most important household registration system has not been re-established.

It is not that there are no people of insight in Huainan who propose to reorganize the household registration, but that any policy needs people to complete, and before the implementation of the separation of military and government, the history of assassination in various places was held by military generals, and they did not pay much attention to civil affairs; In addition, various wars have been fierce in recent years, and the assassins in various places are often busy with conquests, so they naturally have no time to do these things.

This time, Yang Wu implemented the separation of military and political affairs, not only replacing the assassins of the inland states with civilian officials selected from the Jiedu Embassy, but also being very cautious in the selection of assassins in the border states, and selecting some military generals who were relatively law-abiding and had a certain degree of civil affairs ability.

After the arrival of these new assassins, the first order issued by Yang Wu was to recompile the household registration, try to find out the situation of the people, and also prepare accounts for this year's autumn tax.

On this day, the festival made the house burst into laughter, which had not occurred for a long time since the Tianyu Rebellion. The Yang family, from the ladies in the backyard to Yang Wu's younger brothers and sisters, all gathered in Mrs. Shi's yard.

The reason why it is so lively is because of the arrival of two new lives, one of which is naturally Yang Wu's newborn nephew, who came to Guangling with Liu Rengui; The other is Yang Xingmi's concubine, and the Wang family gave birth to a son for him a few days ago, so Yang Xingmi hurriedly ended his tour and rushed back.

Yang Wu's sister rarely came back to save her relatives once, so she pulled her mother and several other ladies around the two little lives to chat about the shortcomings of the family; Yang Xingmi asked Liu Rengui about his father's condition, and when he learned that Liu Jin's condition was still not improving, Yang Xingmi couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

Just like what he said to Yang Wu last time, his generation is really starting to get old, not only Liu Jin, but also Zhang Xun, Tai Meng has also been in poor health recently, that is, Yang Xingmi himself, who has also been a little unwell recently.

This time he went on patrol for less than two months, and he didn't go to many places, but he felt very tired, which made him realize that he was no longer the young man who "lifted 300 catties and traveled 300 miles a day".

Fortunately, he has a good heir, and he has established authority and is beginning to take over, which allows him not to worry about what happens after his death.

So after chatting with Liu Rengui for a while, I was also in the mood to tease my son and grandson.

On the side, Yang Wu's attention was not on his nephew and younger brother, and he was not much interested in Liu Rengui's explanation to his father why he did not take the initiative to support the policy of separating military and political affairs this time, and his attention was attracted by the little child who followed Liu Rengui.

"Is this the later Southern Tang Dynasty famous general Liu Renzhan?" Yang Wu couldn't help but think in his heart.

The child in front of him, who was only two or three years old, was his younger brother Liu Renzhan, who came to Guangling with Liu Rengui.

Historically, Liu Renzhan, as the defender of Shouzhou, once held out for more than a year under the attack of Chai Rong of Later Zhou Shizong, and later the Southern Tang army relieved the siege of Shouzhou many times, but all ended in failure.

However, Liu Renzhan never surrendered, and later his generals took advantage of his serious illness to open the city gates and surrender, and Renzhan died of illness soon after.

With the fall of Shouzhou, it was inevitable that the Southern Tang Dynasty would lose the fourteen states of Jiangbei.

Perhaps in this era, more than one general who can hold on to a city for more than a year can do it, but in comparison, their fame in history is far less than that of Liu Renzhan, so Yang Wu can't help but look at him a few more times.

Immediately, Yang Wu smiled bitterly again, no matter what Liu Renzhan would do in the future, he was still just a three-year-old child at this time.

After hearing that Liu Jin was going to leave him in the Jiedu Embassy Mansion to be his younger brother Yang Longyan's companion, although he was still a little unsure of Liu Jin's purpose, he still readily agreed.

After all, such a child with the potential to become a famous general, if he is trained well, maybe it will only take more than ten years, and when he grows up, he will be able to become a famous general in Huainan in advance.

More than ten years seems to be a long time, but it is obviously difficult to calm the world in more than ten years, and even if the world has been unified by then, there are still foreign races such as the Northern Khitan and the Northwest Party that need to be pacified, and it is far from the time for Ma to put Nanshan.

Then he remembered that this time the separation of military and government, although it was due to the fact that the border states needed military generals who were good at military affairs to serve as assassins because of wars at any time, but in fact, even if there was no war, the number of civilian officials who had enough talent and qualifications to serve as assassins was somewhat insufficient, and many of them were still staff members recruited by Yang Xingmi many years ago.

Now it can still be supported, if the territory of Huainan is further expanded in the future, and more civil officials are needed to serve as assassins, it will be a little insufficient. Therefore, it is imperative to select and train new civil servants as soon as possible.

In addition, when he first traveled to this era, he thought about recruiting some talents, but unfortunately he couldn't do it at that time due to various reasons such as lack of prestige, and maybe now the time is ripe.

If there is a disruption today, there must be a lot of unsuccessful scribes, and if the formal selection begins, they will definitely be able to obtain a group of good talents. Even if the Tang Dynasty is still in existence today, there is something inappropriate in the method of openly conducting the imperial examination, but there is no problem in selecting talents in other names.
