Chapter 380: Governance
After the success of the Northern Expedition of the Taishan Army, the whole of Hebei seemed to be still.
Whether it was many Han army guards or the Hebei Yellow Turbans, they all maintained their restraint and did not take any other action.
But everyone knows that this is temporary, the calm before the storm.
When the Taishan army showed its unrivaled strength, all the forces in Hebei had to think about their fate.
Therefore, they either asked for many doors, or attacked and defended alliances, and tried to block the advance of the Taishan army.
Because of this, in order to expand their own strength, various localities began to really exhaust their fishing. Ignoring their dignity as herdsmen, they requisitioned the last grain of millet from the head of Guizhou and went everywhere to kidnap people as soldiers.
The Taishan army naturally knew what these county guards were doing, so the first batch of officials such as Zhao Yun and other returning hometown soldiers had quietly returned to their hometowns, preparing to open up forces behind enemy lines in this boiling of resentment.
Zhang Chong personally watched Zhao Yun and the others leave Handan, looking at these young faces, Zhang Chong was both proud and worried.
This journey is full of ups and downs, but isn't this what a good man should do?
After sending away a group of officials from the homecoming team, Zhang Chong began to devote more energy to dealing with internal affairs.
In Zhang Chong's view, the so-called internal affairs should not be a power intrigue. Of course, this is indeed the case on the side of the Han family, you don't see that they are busy all day long, but they are all partisan and seek benefits for their own family, how many of them have discussed the people's livelihood in the world?
Since internal affairs should be effectively related to the people's livelihood, it is actually to start from the productive forces and production relations, and at present, it is appropriate to develop the relations of production.
It may be more than some people realize that it is easier to learn the productive forces than to reform the relations of production. For example, when Zhang Chong was in the Luyimeng area, the Quyuan plow, waterwheel and other things invented had already spread to the surrounding Xuzhou area. Of course, these things are controlled by the power.
But the current system and system of the Taishan Army, which one can be learned by other forces?
Therefore, in the past, all countries knew the great power of Qin's law, and they also changed their laws, but which one could be as successful as Qin's real reform?
So Zhang Chong has long understood this truth.
Artifacts are important, but more important than artifacts are more advanced systems.
Therefore, Zhang Chong would rather spend more time and energy on polishing the system machine of the Taishan Army, which is the royal road to the world.
Now Hebei is in the stage of a hundred ruins to be lifted, although this result is mostly the responsibility of the Yellow Turban Army and the Han Army, but since the Taishan Army has become its master, it is natural to bear the responsibility of its governance.
In the past, Zhang Chong devoted his main energies to reforming the military system, and most of the current local affairs were only required to divide the fields and ensure daily production.
But with the outbreak of the Zhao Xin incident, Zhang Chong realized that it was urgent to govern his governance.
Today's Taishan army is undergoing a huge change, the past mode of turning to the world to switch to the mode of sitting on one side, which is both an opportunity and a challenge.
If Zhang Chong and they can't build the south-central Hebei region well, how can they convince others of the superiority of their Taishan army.
If it is said that in the past, their Taishan Army was only an opposition party, as long as they shouted slogans to win the hearts and minds of the people. Now that their Taishan Army has become the ruling party like the Han family, it is time to compete for the real ruling level of the two sides.
So, Zhang Chong called a series of civil affairs officials such as Cai Yong and Zhuge Jue.
Discuss the key points of governance at hand.
Civil affairs officials such as Zhuge Jue suggested to Zhang Chong that the urgent need for governance at present lies in the creation of four characters for the people.
After the Northern Expedition, the Taishan Army successively took the surrounding areas of Xiangguo and Julu, and a county in Kudi. But now how many hukou and how many settlements there are in this area, the Taishan army is not clear at all.
Not to mention that the household register of the Han family has not been updated for many years, even if it is really updated, those local heroes and hidden populations will not be recorded.
Therefore, the Taishan army had to make a register of its own people and grasp the real situation of the population under its rule.
The premise of creating a book of peace is to secure the people, and to achieve peace of the people, it is necessary to govern the people
They preach the truth.
The Taishan Army is the most reasonable, there is a systematic propaganda team under its command, and the Taishan Army has several major grain distribution actions, all of which are propaganda teams preaching the policies of the Taishan Army on the side, which is to fight the violence in the sky, hang the name and punish the crime, and the people join the resistance.
And now? The members of these propaganda teams will go deep into the Taihang Mountains and the mainland, and recruit the people who have fled to these places to return to their hometowns and reclaim the land.
In short, it is to let the people under his rule understand the policies and propositions of the Taishan Army, and let the people restore their confidence in production.
But Zhang Chong did not think that he could convince the exiles of Taihang Mountain and mainland thieves by reasoning alone.
This is not to say that the policies of the Taishan Army are not attractive to these people, but that these people cannot be their own masters at all.
For example, in exile in the mountains and rivers, in order to survive, they must form a crowd to protect themselves, and this group must have a leader.
Most of these people will not go out of the mountains. After all, they would rather be the head of a chicken than a phoenix, and they are already vested interests, how can they give up their status as masters because of dozens of acres of thin fields?
Therefore, in the Taihang Mountain area in the north of Zhao State and the mainland Ze area in the middle of Julu, Zhang Chong had already dispatched two battalion leaders and issued a military order to suppress bandits.
In fact, even if Zhuge Jue and others didn't talk about making a book for the people, Zhang Chong would also want to suppress bandits.
In April, when he was in Handan, he heard about more than a dozen domestic thieves.
For example, a certain generation of thieves and leaders corrected hundreds of parties and attacked Juluren County Grass City. There is also Jiang Bo, the leader of the West Mountain Bandit, who plundered the shrine under the mountain and set fire to the warehouse, which is a disaster for the northern mountains of Zhao State.
In short, these bandits have become the focus of the Taishan Army's current military work, and if they are not governed, they will not be able to stabilize the place. If there is chaos today, these bandits can easily provoke and coerce a large number of people, escalating ordinary disputes to the level of armed rebellion.
Because these bandits know that only chaos can have their way to live.
For these fortunate people, Zhang Chong must strike hard. These people may have been oppressed and poor back then, but now they have long since deteriorated.
If they still have the slightest desire to live a peaceful life, Zhang Chong will give them the way, give the land and let them go out of the mountains and Ze to live a peaceful life again.
But will they be willing?
Zhang Chong, who has already made arrangements for these, did not say anything to Cai Yong and Zhuge Jue, and now the topic is still to discuss governance, and he will discuss with the military officials about the suppression of bandits.
After all, this bandit is not a trivial matter, one is not good, and this bandit can be suppressed more and more.
After Zhuge Jue finished talking about the propaganda, he began to talk about the specific list of Anmin.
This is mainly through postings. In fact, the Taishan army has always done this, and every time it breaks a place, it will first issue a notice to the people and unveil the thoroughfare, so as to clean up the hearts of the people.
These notices not only affirmed the military discipline of the Taishan Army, but also publicized the policies of the Taishan Army, and called on the people to join the army.
In addition, the Taishan Army also pays attention to pulling the typical. Anyone who has made outstanding contributions to the stability of the place, the Taishan army will give an Anmin flag, which is not only an encouragement, but also a typical example.
In short, in terms of Anmin, there is not much difference between the Taishan Army and the Han Dynasty, and they are both limited by the conditions of the times.
In the end, Zhuge Jue talked about the most important part, which is to compile a book.
In the case of Zhuge Jue, in front of many magistrates, the public said:
"The matter of household registration is the most important issue in civil affairs, and it has been valued by all generations."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present, including Zhang Chong, had no objection to this sentence. Because only by mastering the hukou can the manpower under the rule be arranged as a whole, so the country builds a code and the family establishes a system.
Zhuge Jue was born as a Han official, so he first talked about the system of household registration management in the Han family.
The system of the Han dynasty followed the Qin system, and all of them took the Li Society as the main part of the household registration work. It divides the people of the world into four categories, one is the civil registration, the second is the official registration, the third is the clan registration, and the fourth is the seven branches.
According to different assets, the civil registration is subdivided into upper family, middle family and lower household.
Then those who are officials with more than 300 stone are all included in the official register, and the royal family is included in the clan family
The so-called Seven Branches and so on are crimes.
That is, those sinners, outlaws, redundant people, Jia people, former Jia people, parents who are Jia people, and grandparents who are Jia people, all belong to the sins of the Seven Branches.
These criminals who belong to the Seven Branches are all among the compulsory conscriptions, and once they join the army, they are slaves who are forced slaves, enjoying the lowest treatment, and every time they attack the city, they have to brave the front to fill the trenches and properly fill the ravines.
Therefore, the meaning of 谪戍 here is the meaning of 谪戍.
When talking about the Seven Branches, Zhuge Jue also paused slightly and glanced at Zhang Chong's reaction. He knew that with Zhang Chong's moral level, the existence of guilty people would never be allowed.
Sure enough, when talking about the Seven Branches, Zhang Chong's face was quite strange.
The people of the Qin and Han dynasties were really ruthless to merchants, and those who had been merchants within three generations had to be subordinated to the criminals. But Zhang Chong also knows that this is the time when the dynasty is opened, you just say that now, which Haoqiang family does not have a transaction? I didn't see it, and I was guilty.
However, this kind of systematic discrimination against businessmen is really ruthless.
Zhang Chong was silent and continued to listen to Zhuge Jue talk about compiling household records.
Soon Zhuge Jue talked about a part that Zhang Chong was familiar with, that is, the compilation of the Li Society.
Probably more than five years ago, what changed Zhang Chong's fate was the distribution of Cao Yun, when Sun Tingchang gave him a rune, and his identity information was on it, and the same identity information was not only in the society, but also in the county.
This is the Qin and Han household registration management that Zhang Chong first came into contact with.
This kind of household registration management is the internal household registration management in the Qin and Han dynasties.
Each household is registered separately, registering the name of the county, the name of the village, the identity of the head of the household, the title and the name. Then the next column is the name of the wife of the head of the household, and if there are several wives, the others are concubines or wives.
If there is no separation, the name of the wife of the younger brother of the head of the household is generally registered. Then sons, daughters, nephews, and nieces will be registered in a household register.
And generally register this information are the Lidian and Wu Lao of their respective societies, and they will copy and register, and those who dare to deceive in this process will be severely punished.
Then these family registers will be in triplicate, the original will be hidden in the township, the copy will be sent to the county court, and the last copy will be sent to Kyoto, and Kyoto will manage the household registration of the whole world.
In addition to these household registrations, there are also various land registers, all of which were sent to the central government after the local government was cleared.
It is precisely by relying on these books and materials that the Han family can manage the world in a unified manner.
But here, that's the end of it.
Zhuge Jue said that today's books and materials are at least 40 years old, and they can no longer reflect the real situation of the world's population.
One of the important reasons for this is that with the increasing number of distributions and forced labor, more and more people have begun to flee their citizenship.
Although these people have become stateless, they can only float and flee, and they cannot share their own land and land, but they no longer have to pay their own levies.
But most of the Dingkou were unwilling to go into exile in Huhai, and they didn't have the ability, so they had to find someone to shelter.
And what can confront the government is naturally the power of various places.
Therefore, for more than 100 years, the population of the world has been reduced by more than half, not that they are all dead, but they have fled to Haoshi.
It is also by absorbing these huge human resources that the heroes are getting stronger and stronger, and they are more and more able to compete with the government.
In addition, there is a huge problem, that is, the false element of household registration is becoming more and more obvious.
This is actually also on top of the hypothesis. Because the number of household registrations is an important content that must be reported by the county officials when they go to Luo every year, this is an important assessment of the work of each county.
But now that the hukou has been divided among the powerful, what should they do? If you can't get Haoqiang, you can only forge books to fool you.
Zhuge Jue has been working on the front line for more than 20 years, and he knows all these things. So he frankly told Zhang Chong that the books of Wei, Zhao, and even Julu were all fakes.
At this point, Zhang Chong interrupted Zhuge Jue and talked about the doubts in his heart:
"As Qing said, since this book is no longer valid, how can the Han family continue to maintain the world in the past few decades, and how can it still have the ability to send soldiers to quell the rebellion of the Yellow Turban?"
Zhuge Jue was very serious, and seriously talked about something that Zhang Chong had never realized:
"Qu Shuai, this land is not something that will escape, as long as there are people on the land, there are various ways to tax them. Even if it's crude, it's working."
Zhang Chong understood that household registration management was an efficient management. After the Han dynasty began to rot, it directly gave up this kind of efficiency, and directly used arbitrary taxation to collect taxes extensively.
No wonder the world is stuck in a dead loop.
In the end, Zhuge Jue talked about the household registration system with the characteristics of the Taishan Army that he and a group of pro-people officials discussed.
In general, Zhuge Jue absorbed most of the system of the Han family and then put it in the system of the Taishan Army.
First of all, Zhuge Jue also divided the world's household registration into four classes, but not like the Han family, but four categories: military, industrial, civilian, and official.
These four categories are also the four main groups of the Taishan Army today, and Zhuge Jue decided to classify them and make a book.
Subsequently, the grass-roots organizations of the Taishan Army were mainly farms or farms directly managed by the Taishan Army. And each village has its own field chief and field chief, which means that there are already people who carry out the book.
So now the work is divided into two ends.
In the old area of Wei State, the household registration template can be distributed to each Li Society, and the local registration can be made. In the new districts in the north of Zhao and the south of Julu, the fields were divided first, and the corresponding grassroots officials were assigned and promoted, and then the records were registered.
Zhang Chong nodded vigorously in this process, and he found more and more that it was really necessary to keep Zhuge Jue that day.
Zhang Chong is not very familiar with governing the people, and with the assistance of such a righteous official, he does get twice the result with half the effort.
However, Zhang Chong saw that Zhuge Jue stopped speaking after saying this.
Zhang Chong immediately realized that what this person was going to say below might be very sensitive.
So, Zhang Chong ordered the temple to prepare lunch and leave everyone to eat. He himself took Zhuge Jue to the clean room on the side and held a small meeting for the two of them first.
There was a small meeting before the conference, and Zhang Chong still understood this set.
