However, not everyone is amazed by Hu Changan's wisdom.

Wang Tao, the county magistrate of Lishui County, had a different opinion: "Everyone, the combination of the A system and forced labor here can indeed be fair, but in this way, what should the old, weak, sick and disabled in the township do?" ”

"They really can't serve as a laborer, but they can't help but make them into the household register!"

It is true that the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny.

It is impossible for every family to have a strong labor force that can make up a family of three.

There are always people who, for a variety of reasons, fall to the bottom of society.

They may have lost their legs in an accident and were left with lifelong disabilities. or a white-haired person sends a black-haired person, and he has no one to rely on; Or for various reasons, he has never married a wife and had children, and he is lonely and miserable.

All in all, they have lost their labor force for various reasons, and they have no way to serve as forced laborers, so they can only cultivate a few acres of thin land and barely maintain their basic livelihood.

It is true that these people cannot be ignored, but how to manage them has become a new problem.

The ministers discussed and discussed countermeasures.

Feng Qing, the county magistrate of Jiangning County, thought for a moment and took the lead in speaking: "Why don't you let these people register directly with the lieutenant chief?" After registering, the people under the jurisdiction of the lieutenant can still help take care of these old, weak, sick and disabled, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

After listening to it, everyone thought that this plan was also quite good.

After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he ruled the world with Confucianism, and naturally attached great importance to ethics and filial piety.

As early as the fifth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang began to build nursing homes in various prefectures and counties, specializing in taking in the elderly and the disabled.

To be honest, the treatment in this nursing home is still good.

Not only is a certain amount of rice and firewood distributed on time every month, but a small amount of cloth is also distributed in the summer and winter.

However, the government's relief is only a drop in the bucket after all.

Although the scale of the nursing homes in various states and counties is not small, it is still a little stretched compared to the large number of disadvantaged groups in society.

And in order to enter the nursing home, you must meet strict conditions.

Only elderly or disabled persons who have no ability to work at all and who are unable to find relatives to support them will be allowed to enter the nursing home.

Those old, weak, sick and disabled who can do a little light physical work can only stay in their hometowns and farm their own fields to support themselves.

If all the villagers are to be divided under the Lijia system, it is necessary to take into account these old, weak, sick and disabled.

It is indeed a good choice to let the villagers help these old, weak, sick and disabled.

However, although most people agree with this idea, Shen Yichuan, the county magistrate of Gaochun County, has a different opinion: "Feng County Order, although your method sounds good, it doesn't seem to have the future development in mind." ”

"Although these old, weak, sick and disabled people are not required to pay taxes or serve forced labor for the time being, what if they remarry, have children, start a family, and have a strong labor force in the family again? Is it still hanging in the name of the governor and not paying taxes? That way others will definitely have an opinion. ”

"And if the family of the person who was originally normally incorporated into the Lijia system suddenly suffers a natural or man-made disaster, and the strong labor force in the family dies or is disabled, and he can no longer serve in the future, what should he do?"

When everyone heard this, they fell silent.

Yes, the population is not dead, but dynamically changing from moment to moment.

You may be a poor disabled person this year, but maybe next year you will marry and have children and become a happy father.

After more than ten years, when your son grows up, won't your family be rejuvenated!

Now that you have become a normal family with a strong labor force again, forced labor is inevitable.

You may not have registered 20 years ago, and your family will never have to pay taxes or serve as a conscript.

That's not how the loopholes of the government are drilled!

Moreover, it is inevitable that a normal family will have a natural or man-made disaster, and it is not impossible to become a helpless orphan and widow overnight.

Just when everyone was silent, Hu Changan got up again and said generously: "Ladies and gentlemen, what Wang Xianling said is very reasonable, the population is changing, and it can't be registered once to be finished." ”

"The minister suggested that the families with strong labor force in the family and who can afford forced labor and taxes can be called the main management households, and the old, weak, sick and disabled who cannot afford the forced labor can be called abnormal and zero management households."

"These abnormal and zero-belt stewards can be attached to the name of the chief as Feng County's order said, and they are not allowed to leave the book, and the book cannot throw them away."

"Population data can be counted every ten years, and once these abnormal households with stewards regain the ability to serve in forced labor, they can be reclassified as regular stewards and brought under the jurisdiction of the governor."

"And if the main stewards lose their ability to work for various reasons, we can also reclassify them as abnormal and zero-managed households, which are not included in the scope of forced labor."

In this way, the problem raised by Shen Yichuan, the county magistrate of Gaochun County, was directly and perfectly solved.

Since the population is dynamically changing, as long as it can be dynamically changed when the Li A system is compiled, isn't it over?

Even the county magistrates, who are experienced in handling civil disputes, are also impressed by Hu Changan.

This kid is inevitably too powerful, at a young age, his thoughts are more thoughtful than those of them who have been working at the grassroots level for a long time, and he doesn't know what he grew up eating.

At this point, the crowd had nothing to say.

The problems that can be thought of have been solved cleanly, and the next thing is just to let go of your hands and feet and boldly execute.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao, who was at the top, was also full of emotion.

This Hu Changan is worthy of being the hero who saved his son, and he is indeed talented.

Originally, when this situation was encountered, the ministers at the bottom had to argue for several days before they could negotiate a seemingly good result.

As a result, as soon as Hu Changan came today, he directly persuaded everyone in a few words, and the efficiency was simply against the sky.

If the efficiency is so high every day, Zhu Biao is afraid that he can wake up with a smile even if he dreams.

Seeing that everyone stopped discussing, Zhu Biao also made a final decision: "Since everyone has discussed it, let's implement it directly." ”

After that, Zhu Biao assigned the task to everyone in detail.

Basically, each county sent two princely aides to follow and assist the county order in implementing reforms.

Hu Changan was assigned to Jiangning County, and his partner was Feng Qing, the county magistrate of Jiangning County, and another prince's staff named Li Shu.

This Li Shu is not only the prince's staff, but also the left servant of the Ming Dynasty.

Generally speaking, the prince's staff have official positions in the court, and the prince's staff generally only serves concurrently.

There are basically no temporary promotions like Hu Changan, except for him.

Therefore, it is no wonder that the ministers are envious of Hu Changan's honor.
