Chapter 180: Rectifying Order: Organizing Households and Gathering the People

After establishing a bureaucratic system with strong executive power, Dai Yan can then let go of what he wants to do in Taoqiu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After he made the entire pottery mound clean and orderly, he was also thinking about making the population structure of the entire pottery mound clearly visible and orderly. Because he has had enough of the Yi Mansion's dark touch on all the Taoqiu people!

How can an order be issued if the population structure of the entire city is not clearly known for the specific administration of a city? As a person who can create a scientific school, Dai Yan has precision in mind. And the object of governance and the effect after governance, he must have solid and credible data as an explanation!

Therefore, driven by his thoughts, the entire Taoqiu began to work on the vast organization of households and people.

As a city with half of the population as a floating population, the first thing Dai Yan did before he started to organize households was to classify and name the streets in the entire district. Later, he erected wooden signs on each street to indicate the name of the street, and each house was marked with a special number on the door wall, so that the specific address became clear.

If there is still Liu Bang in later generations, the original record in the history books "Peijun Fengyi Zhongyangli people" may become "Peijun Fengyi Zhongyangli Sishui Road No. XX Liu Gong's son". And this kind of detail seems to be small, but in fact, it represents the expansion of Taoqiu's bureaucratic system and the performance of Dai Yan's great increase in control over Taoqiu's grassroots level!

With a specific address, Dai Yan also took the opportunity to make a count of the real estate of the entire Fengyi, made a complete registration of it, and issued property rights certificates for all the properties.

Compared with the difficult registration of real estate in later generations, the registration in Taoqiu is much easier. Because the entire Taoqiu is the latest bureaucratic system, all the appointed chiefs do not have any interests in this Taoqiu at present, so naturally they will not hinder such a thing.

Most of the people who own real estate in Taoqiu are those merchants. At first, these businessmen were a little skeptical about such a practice of registering immovable property, and did not want to fully cooperate with the work.

Soon, in the face of such a problem, Dai Yan immediately promulgated a new law on real estate. In this law, he made it clear that the private property of the Taoqiu merchants would be protected and that no one else would infringe on them without their permission. But if you want to be protected, you have to be able to prove that you own these private property.

His attitude towards real estate is very clear: all properties that have not been registered with real names and without property rights certificates will be regarded as ownerless real estate, and the government will have the right to confiscate them!

Under the pressure of such soft and hard policies, businessmen, who have always been weak, have also had to give in and register all the properties under their names. After completing the real estate registration, Dai Yan soon added the first tax he came to Fengyi, and the increase in this tax was rarely supported!

This additional tax is the deed tax in immovable property. This tax is very simple, it is a tax charged by the government at 1% of the value of the newly traded property when you come to the district office for settlement when you are trading a property.

Why is this tax supported by everyone? This actually has to talk about real estate transactions in ancient China.

In ancient times, real estate and even land had a title deed, but such a title deed was not issued by the Yi government like the property right certificate issued by Dai Yan today, but something that was personally confirmed by the local "virtuous and respectable" people.

Although the Chinese dynasties have very strict restrictions on real estate and land transactions, due to the lack of government enforcement, there are still a large number of land transactions among the people.

If there is a private real estate or land transaction in the local area, everyone will invite these people with status in the local area, and invite their neighbors to come to the two sides of the transaction to jointly confirm the completion of the transaction. In other words, the credibility of these title deeds is guaranteed entirely by these famous and high-status people in the locality.

People will have desires, and these so-called "highly respected" people are naturally no exception. They witness the process of real estate and land transactions with their own fame, and of course it is not free! And for those neighbors who came to witness, the new owner naturally needs to prepare a generous gift to thank them!

Not to mention that giving gifts to those famous people and neighbors when trading real estate is a big expense in itself, which far exceeds the deed tax stipulated by Dai Yan. What's more, with these well-known people in the place, it is easy for you to be at the mercy of the other party in the real estate and land transactions you choose.

Anyone with a reputation in the region must have a strong force. If he takes a fancy to your real estate or land, and you don't want to sell it to him, but want to sell it to someone else, and the other party doesn't notarize it for you, you can't sell it at all!

This greatly increases the ability of these local celebrities to carry out land annexation, and the fate of the low-level common people when they go bankrupt will be even more miserable!

Dai Yan undoubtedly violated the interests of some people by doing such an act, but he didn't care at all! In his opinion, in Taoqiu, the only thing that provides credibility is the Yi government, and it can only be the law.

With a specific property and address, it will be easier for the rest of the Taoqiu to compile the households. It is nothing more than to register all merchants, common people, artisans, etc. as specific families according to specific addresses, and issue simple ID cards to each family member.

Among them, it is not difficult to register the specific information of each household, but the most difficult thing is that it is difficult to determine the names of ordinary people.

You must know that in this era, many ordinary people don't even have a surname or a given name, let alone a name. The registrant had to think of various methods, one was to let them recall the fame of their ancestors, and the other was to let them think about their hometown, neither of which could be remembered, so the registrant would casually let the other party give his own surname, and if he could not even give his surname, the registrant would have to give his surname to the other party. As for the names of the common people, the registrants were already extremely impatient with the surnames before, and then they directly chose the names according to the numbers.

As a result, many strange names such as "Ichiro Tanaka" and "Koji Nakamura" have emerged.

Finally, when Dai Yan saw these strange names, he couldn't help but sigh: "I finally know how to get a name like Yamamoto Fifty-six!" ”

Speaking of which, the situation that Taoqiu is facing today is indeed very similar to the situation before the Meiji Restoration in Japan. Before the Meiji Restoration, most of the low-level people and peasants did not have names, but after the Meiji Restoration, the government stipulated that everyone must have a name.

Both of these are the result of the government's need to precisely manage all strata of society as a whole, and the extreme backwardness of its own social level.

The real-name registration of all people who have real estate and actual places of residence in the entire Taoqiu has been completed, and the household has been completed. Dai Yan then set his sights on the floating population from outside.

Dai Yan knows very well that in a commercial city, the floating population is the biggest unstable factor. If these floating populations are not dealt with well, it will not be possible to make Taoqiu truly orderly!

For this, Dai Yan has already thought about what to do. In this era, there is an extremely successful example of the management of the floating population: the Qin State!

Shang Ying organized the households and the people, and used a powerful method of continuous sitting, and later even he himself could not escape the huge net he weaved in the Qin State, and got the end of self-destruction, which shows the strength of the system of the Qin State!

Taoqiu is completely different from the Qin State, Taoqiu is a purely commercial city, and the floating population is too frequent, if the floating population is as strict as the Qin State, then I am afraid that the entire Taoqiu business will be greatly affected. In this way, there is a bit of putting the cart before the horse, Dai Yan wants to make Taoqiu more prosperous by standardizing the order of Taoqiu, rather than making the entire Taoqiu more and more decayed!

Therefore, he referred to the Qin State's management methods for the floating population, and stipulated that all wine houses, inns, hotels, etc. must register the nationality, name, age, and appearance of the tenant for the Yi government to inquire about. Suspicious persons must be reported in a timely manner.

Just leaving a copy of the information and reporting suspicious persons is acceptable for all operators. With this general information, the Yifu can actually roughly judge the floating population of various countries entering Taoqiu, so that the basic movement trend of this part of the population can be judged, and the floating population has a general understanding, which will not make Taoqiu suddenly face chaos.

Outsiders and travelers will not sleep on the streets of Taoqiu because they cannot fully confirm their identity, and the entire business environment of Taoqiu will not be affected.

Such a pleasing strategy is the way to govern Taoqiu.
