Gao Wenlin came back from the ya, listened to what his daughter-in-law said, and felt that it was not a big problem, so he took the list written by the Wu family early the next morning, and when he arrived at the county office, he went to do this.

Gao Wenlin is responsible for registering and surveying the population, and the household registration book here is covered with yellow cloth, so it is called the "yellow book", and the yellow book registers the population, gender, age, marriage, land, assets, etc. of each household. According to 10 households for one Jia, 110 households for one mile, the implementation of the "Lijia" establishment, to the state to pay for service.

The household registration is called the head of the household by occupation, and the general title is "grain people", "people's households", "weaving households", "happy households", "military households", etc., and those who have a household registration must pay for military service according to the household number. If there is a family member, pay the poll tax; There is land, and Na Tian Fu. The poorest families also have to pay two types of taxes, one per household and one per din. In order to control the flow of population and maintain social order, there must be a guide for people who go out, and they must be checked wherever they go.

Dig out the household booklet, find the Wu family's household registration book, which reads: three men, one mouth, one mouth, the head of the household Wu Quan Jian'an was born in six years, not two Ding, the eldest son Wu Qingping, born in the twenty-sixth year of Jian'an, the second son Wu Qingshan, born in the second year of Kunping, a woman, Wu Hai's Jian'an was born in the sixth year, and the eldest daughter married to the Wang family of Xuanqing Mansion, and the thirteenth year of Kunping in Wucheng County, Shuntianfu, Qi State.

Those who are over 18 years old are considered to be old, and those who are 60 years old are officially responsible for all kinds of errand and military service to the state, while those who are 60 years old are exempted.

Gao Zhao was born just the year when the new emperor ascended the throne, and the year name was Kunping, and the previous era name was Jian'an.

Wu Quan's parents have passed away, and they also followed Wu Quan's eldest brother as a household at the beginning, so they are not recorded, and each family must be registered in the yamen to count, so whenever a family is divided, you have to ask the neighbors, the Yue family, and the chief to prove it, and then take the family separation documents to the yamen to register.

One of Gao Wenlin's jobs is to sort out these household registrations, every year people born and deceased must be registered, and the household law stipulates that if you do not register your household registration, your parents will work hard for three years; If the household registration is not clearly registered as required, or if the population is under-registered, and one person is under-registered for one year of hard labor, the crime of two people will be increased by one degree, and if one person flees, he will be punished with 30 bamboo boards and fined silver.

These meticulous tasks cannot be completed by Gao Wenlin alone, he also has a number of clerks, as well as the head of the first division to do the basic registration and reporting.

There are strict household laws and regulations, which reduce the floating population, so after Gao Zhao asked his father about these basics, he understood why some suffering people didn't run? Can't run?

This is only a good citizen's, then what kind of untouchables, good and cheap forbidden to marry, strict regulations on good and cheap marriage as a crime, slaves, common people and nobles do not marry each other, Gao Zhao has read the law in this regard, there is a clause: if you vainly take a slave or maid as a beloved, and marry a beloved, the rod is ninety, and each divorce is corrected.

Gao Zhao didn't understand, and secretly asked his aunt, what did those who straightened the concubine's room say, Gao Cui explained to his niece: "Generally, no one dares to do such a clear thing to straighten the concubine's room, don't be a person when you go out, let the housewife of another family and an aunt who was once a pariah sit on an equal footing and slap people in the face?" If there is, first of all, those people are people who have no rules and no distance, and they have to operate secretly, there is not one in our county, there is no child in the main room, and the eldest son's biological mother is corrected, that is also to go to the lowly status, recognize the original family as an adopted daughter, and remarry the adopted sister of the original match, that is also after the original partner died, the mother's family was broken, and coveted the silver from the son-in-law's family, this kind of thing came out and was not laughed at? ”

Looking at the surprise on her niece's face, Gao Cui taught: "You are a daughter of an official family, if you marry a commoner, you will marry low, how can you find a match, otherwise what will happen to your brother and sister-in-law's marriage in the future?" ”

This is when Gao Zhao was idle in the house recently, he suddenly wanted to see the marriage law here, so he asked his father for the law and asked his aunt to take a look.

……

Gao Wenlin called a clerk's office, asked him to carve the road according to the household registration, and then handed it over to him after registering, and he took it back to the Wu family when he arrived.

The main book has an independent office room, and on both sides of the lobby is the conference hall, Gao Wenlin went out of the main bookkeeper's office, came to the conference hall, saw Zhang Xian Ling drinking tea leisurely, saw him come in, and put down the teacup.

"Master Gao came to sit and taste the tips of the hair from my hometown, which only came down this year."

After Gao Wenlin thanked him and sat down, a servant came up to pour tea, he tasted it, and nodded his head in agreement.

At that time, there was no county order in Wucheng County, only the main book and the county lieutenant were responsible for all the things in the yamen, three years ago the imperial court assigned Zhang County Commander to come here, he was a native of Henan, and he was a county magistrate elsewhere for a few years after the middle lift, and he came here as a county commander, and Gao Wenlin and Qian County Lieutenant got along quite happily, mainly because this person is quite knowledgeable about current affairs and is also smart.

Generally officials, they are officials in different places, and they are not allowed to serve as local governors in their hometowns, which is a system of flowing officials, but when Gao Wenlin was promoted, he was assigned to his hometown of Wucheng County as the chief bookkeeper, and there was no county order at that time, which means that he took the position of county commander part-time, and he was inexplicable after he took office, and asked his father, and his father just asked him to be a good parent official, honest first, and work hard, and nothing else said.

Some also thought it was strange, but no one asked much, Gao Wenlin has been doing it until now, and he is still the main bookkeeper.

"Master Gao, it's like this, now that the seeds have just been sown, I see that this year will be a good harvest, just Zheng Pingkou sent some game, I don't know where those guards called this season, isn't your eldest lady injured? You take one back, and some medicinal herbs, so that you can make up for your daughter. ”

Wucheng County originally belonged to Xuanqing Mansion, is a Qi County belonging to Shuntian Mansion thirteen years ago, there are 100 miles away from Beijing, there is a Zheng Pingkou around it, it belongs to the military establishment, and it is under the jurisdiction of the commander of the capital, but it is adjacent to each other, and the institute often asks Wucheng County to ask for some food and products, no way, there is always a little to give, but most of them are borrowed and not returned, and occasionally send sergeants to send some other properties.

When Gao Wenlin was in charge of affairs, he often dealt with these problems, and he had a headache when he thought about it, and he couldn't keep records and make accounts, so he always had to rack his brains to find a way to smooth out the accounts.

Gao Wenlin got up and arched his hand: "Thank you, Lord Zhang, when the little girl is well, come and say hello to the adult." ”

Zhang Xianling talked with Gao Wenlin cordially and said that he would send someone to the Gao family.

Gao Wenlin was a little flattered, thanked him again and again, and went home with the official after saying goodbye.

After watching the people leave, Zhang Xianling also wondered, today he suddenly named and gave these gifts to Master Gao, he was also strange, he didn't hear that the Gao family had contact with the people in the guard, and pointed out that it was for the eldest lady of his family, could it really be the carriage of the guard? Estimated to be.
