During the conversation between Yang Jia and Li Shimin in Taiji Palace, Jingwen and Ma Zhou were also having a headache, because now they were encountering a difficulty. Originally, more than 30,000 people had just been counted, but soon another group of people came over. And according to this situation, 100 to 200 people can be added every day, and this population is an additional population. This made Jingwen very puzzled, how could there be a new population. Ma Zhou immediately asked people to investigate, and it turned out that these people had migrated from other counties.

"Damn, who said that there were strict restrictions on population movement in ancient times, why do they come whenever they want!" Jing Wen muttered.

And Ma Zhou immediately said: "Jieshuai, my Tang Dynasty is not too strict with the movement of the people. As long as you return the land in your hand to the government before you migrate, and then tell the government where you are going, the government will issue road guides to you at its discretion. ”

Only then did Jingwen know that the Tang Dynasty was much more relaxed in its control over population migration than other dynasties, and of course there was no guidance for this. Other dynasties have restricted the movement of people, preventing them from moving freely, and striving to confine the people to a range of their own. However, the Tang Dynasty's policy procedures for population migration were much lighter than in the past, and although there were certain restrictions, as long as you were willing to return the land to the government, the government would not stop you.

And it was precisely the relatively loose population migration system of the Tang Dynasty that created exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the rest of the world, and then filled the world with Chinese. And Chinatown was formed at this time, which is what makes Datang famous all over the world. And it is precisely this relatively relaxed population migration policy that made the trade development very rapid in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, so that the economy could develop rapidly. However, the only sad thing is that the later Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers did not realize this situation, and still formulated national policies according to the past methods, and did not follow the changes, which directly caused the warlords in the late Tang Dynasty.

"Jie Shuai. Now we have a very important question, that is, should they be registered! Ma Zhou said.

"Upper account? Do I still need to register for an account? Jingwen asked suspiciously.

Ma Zhou also continued: "According to my current national policy of the Tang Dynasty, these people who gave up their land and came to migrate are all without hukou. They have been cleared from their original hukou, so they want to come and live with us, so should we give them hukou? Once they are registered, they have to be allocated land according to the equalization system, and so ......"

"Then do we still have land in Mengjin County?" Jingwen asked.

"Yes, yes, we have just come out of troubled times, and the population has plummeted. So we Datang now wish to have more population. So, I don't have to worry about the land issue, but I'm worried about the proximity to the government. They came to us so soon, so what about our relationship with the government of the nearby county? They're all coming for one of our whips! Ma Zhou explained.

Jingwen finally knew that this was all attracted by his own policies. These people may have heard that Jingwen was going to implement a whip law in Mengjin County, and then they were of course very yearning for this kind of place where they could be less exploited. Because other counties did not implement this kind of whipping law, and the compound tax system of other counties made them actually have to bear more exploitation by grain merchants and silk cloth merchants. So they certainly don't want to continue. As a result, some people were ruthless, and then they gave up the land and came directly, wanting to live and multiply in Mengjin County.

This is not surprising, where the policy is good, there is also a life. This is the thinking of many people. And now Mengjin County has not reduced the tax system, but they can reduce the burden of the people by more than half, of course they are coming. Reducing the burden is earned by yourself, so no one will keep their brains in the water and stay in place.

This is similar to the afterlife. Whichever place has good welfare, then find a way to join the hukou of that place. And now that Mengjin County can make them live better, then of course they have to come to Mengjin County to live. They are not stupid enough to have a good life, but they have been to those who have been ripped back and forth by profiteers and silk cloth merchants!

"Ma Zhou, are you worried that the nearby government will be hostile to us?" Jingwen asked.

"Yes, if we take these people, what will the nearby county think of us? Moreover, once we take it, the people in the vicinity will know that we still need people here, and they will probably come to live with us one after another, and the nearby county town will be empty. When the time comes, won't those county orders all become bare-bones? Ma Zhou explained.

And Jingwen is also thinking about whether to accept these people. If you accept these people, it is equivalent to forming a bond with the surrounding counties. Originally, because of the commercial tax, it was enough for them to complain, but if the agricultural population is collected again, then I'm afraid the problem is really big. Once Mengjin County accepts the population, it is inevitable that other counties will also have a large number of avalanche-like population flow tides, rushing to Mengjin County, after all, Mengjin County's policy is good!

At that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to say whether it will empty the people of the nearby county seats. Can those prefectural orders be willing? At that time, I am afraid that they will have to settle accounts with Jingwen, because now only Mengjin County implements this whip law, but other counties do not implement it. Sometimes it's just the difference between the boundaries of a county, and the two policies are implemented, can this not make people envious, jealous and hateful? Therefore, many people want to come and enjoy this kind of life, but it is not a good thing for the local magistrate.

After all, if the population is constantly losing and the rate is increasing, it means how bad your governance is! If you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods. It turns out that everyone is the same, and there is no place to provide choice, but now that others are doing better than you, aren't you just doing badly? Therefore, if Jingwen accepts these populations, then other counties will probably be unhappy, and even go to sue! If the population continues to lose, will the evaluation of officials be good in the future?

"Ma Zhou, what do you think?" Jingwen asked.

"Listen to the orders of the festival marshal!" Ma Zhou said.

"In that case, then we will take these people! As long as we can eat, then we can take it. Jingwen said. (To be continued......)
