When Zhang Chong took Zhuge Jue into the clean room, he asked people to prepare some fruits and vegetables to eat.

The two sat down and chatted while eating.

On the one hand, Zhuge Jue sighed in his heart that Zhang Chong had learned everything, and on the other hand, he felt respected for Zhang Chong's private inquiry with him.

So after sitting down, Zhuge didn't even take a sip of water, and just said what he didn't say just now.

In fact, the reason why Zhuge Jue hesitated before was because his following words were too naked, and they were not conducive to the proposition that the Taishan Army is playing now.

Zhuge Jue organized and said to Zhang Chong:

"Qu Shuai, this compilation of the people's book is not made for the sake of compilation, but for a reason. In short, all the levies and distribution of conscription in our Taishan Army will fall on these people, and household registration is the basis for doing these things. In addition, in terms of the technique of Shen Han, this is also an effective measure to control and suppress the people. Let people take the field as their home and farm with peace of mind, and there will be no chaos. ”

When Zhang Chong heard this, his heart was a little complicated.

Of course, he understood what Zhuge said, and he understood that what he said was right to a certain extent. It's just a pity that when did he start to become the other side of Qianshou, from how to help Qianshou from what he thought about to how to prevent Qianshou now.

But this complexity comes and goes quickly.

In his previous life, Zhang Chong was a slightly more romantic middle class, in other words, the so-called bourgeois. After coming here, I couldn't see that the people of Qianshou were living like no one, so I wanted to work hard to change.

But change comes and goes, and he himself changes.

In this troubled era, Zhang Chong gradually realized the more cruel side, which was about the way of power and the way of struggle.

He knows that there are times when the truth of the system can keep the majority of people safe.

For example, the Qin and Han dynasties organized households and forced them to retain land for management, although people could not move freely, but they really reduced social chaos.

Because in ancient times, the displaced people were a factor that was not conducive to social stability. Because these people are separated from the land, they have no reliable source of income, so they can only rob and steal by force in order to survive.

These homeless people may form groups of three or five, wandering around, scattering and eating; or gather in groups to protect the mountains; Some groups of displaced people are organized and led, forming armed groups with a certain military attack capability, and such groups of displaced people are called giant thieves and kuikou.

But it must not be forgotten that people naturally want to be stable, and if there is a land for them to cultivate, how many people will live those precarious days?

Therefore, there are often a large number of gangsters in society, precisely because there is a big problem in the governance ability of society.

These people have been deprived of food and clothing because of floods, or by great droughts, or by wars. In addition to natural disasters, there are more human disasters. For example, military service and conscription, war becomes chaotic, and then there are strong and powerful mergers and slippery officials.

Therefore, after hearing Zhuge Jue's teachings, Zhang Chong corrected himself:

"To enable the people to determine, household registration is only a means, but more importantly, it is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment. The distribution of conscription is necessary, and the construction of water conservancy is indispensable for a moment, but this distribution must be controlled. ”

Zhuge Jue nodded, he is not that kind of lawyer, and it is his wish to live with the people.

After hearing Qu Shuai talk about water conservancy construction, he happened to have something to say about this.

But Zhang Chong smiled:

"Come one by one, let's talk about the implementation of the household registration system now, so let's continue to talk about this."

Zhuge was stunned and secretly blamed himself for messing up the rules.

So, he continued:

"It is precisely because household registration is so important to our Taishan Army. Therefore, in order to maintain the long-term effectiveness of the household registration, a means is needed. After all, people are lazy, and if they don't add a rope, how can the villagers below work hard. So here in the Han Dynasty, there is a system of continuous sitting. ”

"Qin Law Theory, one person commits a crime, and the whole family and neighbors sit on it. Later, Gaozu entered the customs, and there were three chapters of the law, the murderer died, injured and stolen to the crime. So this sitting system was suspended. But later, when Empress Lu came to power, this system was restored, and it has continued to this generation since then. ”

Therefore, in order to let the grassroots township officials work hard, they are all judged by joint sitting. If there is a thief in the room, then the people in the house and the Wu people will sit together. This kind of joint sitting also involves the family of the perpetrator, and in any case, the cohabitants are all sitting. ”

Zhang Chong was listening, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

He instructed Zhuge Jue:

"The so-called joint sitting is nothing but the expectation of fear, so that people can monitor each other. But it's useful, but it's actually more harmful. For example, the village officials have no knowledge of and have nothing to do with someone's crime, but they are guilty because of the joint sitting. Then in order to exonerate himself, he will tolerate and shield this disciple. So sitting together seems to be useful, but in fact it is useless. ”

Seeing that Zhuge Jue was thinking, Zhang Chong said these words again:

"A good law should punish evil and promote good, so that people are good and no people are evil. It is not to let the beloved become the wicked in order to avoid sin. In a word, I am afraid that the punishment will be heavy and the virtue will be thin. ”

Zhang Chong's last sentence immediately moved Zhuge Jue.

Zhuge Jue stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhang Chong.

But since the township is not restrained by harsh punishments, how can it be restrained or even motivated?

In this regard, Zhang Chong has his own way.

In the past, although the village officials of the Han family were called officials, they were not actually subordinate to the officials, and they had no future to be promoted to higher positions.

Since there is no future, these township officials will naturally slack off and even use the little power in their hands to embezzle. In the field division system designed by Zhang Chong, the field division officials and field guards are all evaluated in the official system.

Theoretically, the most modest official can also become a county official, or even a shogunate official, because of his outstanding merits.

When people have a future and a head, they will naturally pay attention to their own behavior and accept the systematic assessment.

It's not that there is no problem in this way, but under this assessment paradigm, the capable and the mediocre are down, and they have built their own error correction mechanism to ensure that most people are being managed.

At this point, the household registration was almost finished by Zhuge Jue, and after he went back, he would draw up a more detailed statement according to Qu Shuai's instructions, and then give Qu Shuai a look.

However, household registration is still only one part of the current governance, and there are also recruiting displaced people, prosecuting criminal names, cleaning up bandits, organizing and training village soldiers, rectifying the rule of officials, persuading farmers to cultivate, building water conservancy, lightly relieving and meager labor, and recruiting talented people.

Therefore, these nine items and the Anmin book that Zhuge Jue just focused on are combined to be the "Anmin Ten Volumes", which almost condenses Zhuge Jue's entire experience, and he worked hard to write.

Zhang Chong also respected Zhuge Jue's achievements, and talked to Zhuge Jue one by one on these ten points.

Some of these are urgent, such as the one that recruits displaced people.

After more than a year of chaos in Hebei, the people were displaced, and the Taishan army was bound to recruit these displaced people to return to their hometowns to rebuild their homes.

Behind this series of affairs, a lot of manpower and material support are needed.

In the early stage of rebuilding the home, it is necessary to feed the people, and this process even needs to last for a year.

Therefore, the reconstruction of the homeland in the Zhao region requires a massive supply of money and grain, which can only be made by Zhang Chong, the master of the Taishan army.

To be honest, it is still wartime, and even if the Taishan Army has extra money and food, it should be prioritized for developing military strength. You must know that the strength of the remaining Han army is still not weak. Under their alliance, the next Hebei War will inevitably be a final decisive battle.

Therefore, the result of reason is to prioritize resources for military needs, that is, Songunism. After all, if the army is defeated, these recruited exiles will still be destroyed by the Han army, and may even become a supply point for the other party.

But in the end, Zhang Chong decided to allocate a batch of money and grain to the civil affairs department, so that they could organize the displaced people in Zhao to return to their hometowns and rebuild their homes.

Because although this matter is not an urgent matter for Zhang Chong, it is an important matter. If the displaced people are not governed, the localities will not be quiet, and the bandits and their ilk can still have a steady stream of manpower to replenish them, and then there will be more and more suppression of bandits in the future, and money and food will be wasted.

Therefore, the management of displaced people is the foundation of a stable place, and it must be done.

As for the matter of money and grain, at present, the Taishan army still has sufficient money and grain, and the Wei and northern parts of Hanoi, as well as Puyang and the Heji region, have been farming for more than a year, and there is already surplus money and grain that can be handed over to the shogunate.

Therefore, the current shogunate still has the strength to govern the Zhao country, and as for the southern region of Julu, Zhang Chong feels that it will be released first. If they do not establish a certain military defense and attract displaced people, they will not come.

Later, Zhuge Jue chatted with Zhang Chong about the local criminal lawsuit.

In fact, there are only two functions for the pro-people officials in this world, one is to collect taxes, and the other is to settle local lawsuits.

In the Han Dynasty, the right to hear lawsuits and break prisons was in the hands of local township elders on the one hand, and in the hands of county officials on the other.

The former uses clan law to enforce clan rules, and disputes within the clan can be resolved by the villagers. Sometimes, however, there are disputes between clans, such as in the countryside over water, and there are often fights between several clans. At this time, the county order is needed to come forward to solve it.

Now the Taishan army focuses on cracking down on the big clans and splitting them up by dividing the fields and households. So naturally, there is no so-called village elder patriarch to coordinate the disputes within the clan.

The previous Taishan Army's system in this area was not perfect, and the right to hear lawsuits was not fixed. Sometimes the local garrison battalion will be able to manage the lawsuit, and sometimes it will be the local field officer who will coordinate.

Moreover, this kind of handling of litigation is particularly simplified, and it can be directly concluded on the spot without going through layers of trials. Although this method is fast, it lacks supervision and can only rely on the adjudicator's own moral self-discipline. Therefore, a lot of unjust cases have been handled.

Previously, when the Taishan army first arrived in Hebei, it was facing great military pressure, so everything had to be strict and fast, and more energy should be spent on warfare.

But now that the Taishan army has gained a foothold in the central and southern regions of Jizhou, Zhuge suggested that Zhang Chong learn from their judicial process in the Laiwu area and standardize the current hearing process.

In the Laiwu area, all local judicial affairs were jointly tried and handled by the field officials and the field guards.

The field guards will investigate and handle the case, and the field officials will hear and adjudicate the case. The results of the trial and the statement of the facts of the case are first sent to the township management office, and the township management office is sent to the county level for decision-making after the township management office gives instructions.

In cases involving human life, the results must be reported to the shogunate, and the decision will be made by the Hoshoji before enforcement.

As for major criminal cases and extremely controversial cases, there will be a flying army and an internal army to investigate and try them.

Some of these processes were mentioned by Zhuge Jue, and some were supplemented by Zhang Chong. At the end of the discussion, it will be a judicial process for a long time to come.

Zhang Chong still attaches great importance to the ten articles presented by Zhuge Jue. But some of them are also out of Zhuge Jue's experience, such as the arrest of bandits.

Zhuge Jue has no experience in this area, so it is relatively sparse in this part of the article, so Zhang Chong did not discuss this in detail with Zhuge Jue.

It's just that Zhuge Jue can participate in his small meeting with Guan Yu, Zhang Dan, Ding Sheng, Yu Ban, Dong Wan and others, and then he can study and record it a little.

There is also one of Zhuge Jue's articles that is to set up township soldiers.

In his explanation, at the local level, there are three levels: county, township, and li. There are town guards in the county, and there are field guards in the county, but they are missing at the township level. Therefore, Zhuge Jue suggested that the township soldiers should be determined at the township level.

But Zhang Chong listened carefully to Zhuge Jue's idea and rejected it.

Because in his opinion, it is not of much significance to set up another township soldier at the township level. Because of the thieves in the place, there are soldiers patrolling the main roads, and there are soldiers sitting in the city. Then the various societies also have their own field guards as a huge source of soldiers, which can be collected and dispatched.

There is really no need to add an extra level. On the contrary, it is indeed possible to set up a township office at the township level to handle the litigation cases of various communities.

In addition to the above articles, such as rectifying the rule of officials, persuading farming, building water conservancy, lightly punishing thin labor, and recruiting talents, there is nothing new in what Zhuge Jue said.

For example, to rectify the rule of officials is to stimulate the conscience of all officials and organize education. Zhang Chong's addition to this is, on the one hand, to strengthen the audit of officials, not only to evaluate the administrative ability of officials, but also to evaluate their moral character.

For this reason, Zhang Chong decided to add a new organization under the Cao Division, that is, the Discipline Inspection Division, which was first attached to the Cao Division.

This organization is specially used to audit the ethics and discipline of each official, and every time before promotion, officials of the Discipline Inspection Department visit and investigate the relationship between the people around the official, and carefully check whether there are any violations of law and morality in the course of performing their duties.

In addition, in the article of persuading farmers to cultivate, Zhuge Jue's suggestion is to choose agricultural experts to spread farming knowledge on the one hand, and then to protect the cattle.

These things, whether it is the Taishan Army or the Han family, are all old, so there is nothing to talk about.

Zhang Chong didn't add much, in fact, he had his own views on farming.

At present, millet is commonly grown, and although it can be grown on dry land, the yield is not high. In the future, after opening up the water conservancy in Hebei, it is still necessary to plant high-yield crops such as wheat.

This type of crop not only has a higher yield than millet, but also has more protein, which can better provide nutrition for the people. In fact, when the Han dynasty was at its strongest in the early days, it was also common to grow wheat, but now it can only be left to its own devices, and some better millet can be planted at will.

After that, such as the construction of water conservancy, light labor, and recruitment of talents, the Taishan army has been doing, and it has done very well, as long as it continues to be used.

In this way, Zhang Chong and Zhuge Jue chatted until dark.

It wasn't until Zhuge Jue was in a trance that Zhang Chong suddenly realized, and then said with a smile:

"Master Zhuge , listening to your ten strategies, Chong knows that our Taishan Army still has a lot to do."

Zhuge Jue didn't dare to be greedy, and said to Zhang Chong:

"Qu Shuai is wise and people-oriented, this is the great blessing of the leaders of the northern Qiandi."

Looking at the splendid stars outside the house, Zhang Chong was inevitably full of pride in his heart, he came down to stop Zhuge Jue's back, and said rightly:

"Master Zhuge , would you like to change the appearance of this world with me?"

Zhuge Jue looked up at Zhang Chong's sincere and firm eyes, and was moved:

"The servants are broken, and they are willing to take a look at this new world with Qu Shuai."
