It should be said or not, this wave is not only farmers, but also many local families of petty officials and officials whose family backgrounds are not too good.

Because they knew the inside story and knew that this wave of real benefits was not mixed with water, some petty officials and officials who had no discipline were the first to rush up to receive benefits, and even many people borrowed their relatives' children to receive benefits.

Because of the advantages in this regard and the help of acquaintances, these guys have really made a lot of benefits and taken advantage of the government, which can be regarded as abusing power for personal gain.

However, the farmers did receive a lot of benefits and felt the call of the welfare policy.

The peasants not only knew about it, but also began to take the initiative to publicize the benefits of this policy, and drove a large number of people to come to the government to count and receive benefits.

And there are not a few families who have decided to have children for this reason.

They don't want to care about so many things, they just know that the government has started to give benefits since they were pregnant, and they still have the kind of benefits that they can see with their own eyes.

Their limited thinking ability can't think too much, and they can't see too far, they can only see the benefits and sufficient rice and food given by the government.

They want to be full, and now they want to be full, and for that, they don't want to think too much about it, and they can't think too much about it.

The effects of fertility stimulation begin at this moment.

Of course, people in the government can think of using power for personal gain, and the old peasants are not so stupid, and they quickly figured out a way to take advantage of loopholes to receive benefits, and there are not a few people who borrow each other's children to do things.

When the government came, they borrowed the children of other families to serve as their own children's statistics, and tried to receive more rice and food, and enjoy the treatment of being exempted from military service for a few more years.

Later, the government counted a lot of problems, and found that the population was very wrong, and some statistical officials directly saw the same child appear in five or six households at different points in time, making it look like a shadow clone.

So they reported to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei organized his subordinates to study and punish and curb this kind of thing.

That's all for later.

In order to make the policy of encouraging childbirth deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Liu Bei does not mind.

On the issue of policy, suffering losses is a blessing, not a curse.

The most direct consequence of this incident is not only the stimulation of childbirth, but also the fact that the population outside the hukou has determined that the government is really bleeding after a period of wait-and-see.

Therefore, in order to receive the benefits of the government, the population outside the household registration in Liangzhou began to return on a large scale, and those who lived in the barren mountains and mountains and even the grass fell into the government household registration system again.

There are still so many population black holes in modern countries, not to mention the population black holes in ancient countries, China's household registration system has always been excellent and advanced, but despite this, the population that cannot be counted is also quite large.

Especially in the case of chaotic times and insufficient ruling ability, the problem will be more serious.

Under the premise of the collapse of the dynastic order, the masses of the people lacked the ability to survive, and it was a matter of course that they chose to take refuge in local powers with strong survival ability.

At the end of the dynasty, the number of "runaways" who left the official household registration to survive on their own, or the number of "hidden households" and "shadow households" who sought refuge in the homes of powerful landlords would be even larger, even exceeding the number of registered households in the government by several times.

In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, the total number of registered households in the three countries was less than 8 million, which is equivalent to the number of people who normally pay taxes to the governments of the three countries.

However, in fact, counting the number of household registrations that are not within the scope of the government's household registration statistics, such as government households, military households, and minority households, as well as the population of shady households, hidden households, and fugitive households, who do not pay taxes to the government, the total population of China in the later period of the Three Kingdoms period will not be less than 30 million.

Although it is said that in non-war periods, there will be slightly fewer cases of escapees, shaded households, and hidden households, and the control of the government will be stronger, but with the state of war in Liangzhou, it is natural for Liu Bei to judge that the actual number of people living in Liangzhou is far more than the number of registered population of 500,000.

After a series of battles, captures, captures, and policy promotion, in June of the fourth year of Zhongping, the number of registered population in Liangzhou increased by about 100,000.

After that, 260,000 Xianbei people were captured by him, of which almost 100,000 Xianbei women of school age will be incorporated into his Liangzhou household registration, and when the household registration is completed, the population will increase by 100,000.

That's 700,000 registered accounts.

After the promotion of the birth incentive policy and the retreat of the population and land of the major families, from July to August, and then to September, in less than three months, the counties of Liangzhou reported a total of about 40,000 people back to the household registration statistics.

That's seven hundred and forty thousand.

In less than two years, Liu Bei did not seriously go to the entire Liangzhou to search for the population on a large scale.

Just the policy inducement, coupled with military attacks on foreign races, added 240,000 registered slaves to Liangzhou, as well as almost 200,000 registered slaves controlled by the government.

After a wave of operations, the overall manpower of this "poor and remote land" has reached almost 940,000, which means that the manpower that the Liangzhou government can directly control and mobilize is close to one million.

This is the level of population resources that the Shu Han regime was able to directly control in the later period of the Three Kingdoms.

Despite this, the number of hukou under the control of the major ethnic groups living in Liangzhou is still very considerable, and Liu Bei initially estimated that this group of people is not only Han Chinese, but also many Hu people, and the total number of people in this part will not be less than 300,000.

In addition, in the entire Liangzhou, there are about 1.5 million Qianghu people in a semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic state.

From this, one can imagine how rough and failed Liangzhou's household registration governance was before.

Therefore, Liu Bei's idea of building a collective farm and directly controlling the population is even stronger.

If this part of the population can be controlled, Liangzhou will directly be equal to a slightly weaker Qin State.

The struggle for power, in fact, is also the struggle for the population, he needs these people to build Liangzhou, defend Liangzhou, and further promote his personal power, the more people under his direct control, the stronger the ability in this regard.

No one could stop him.

With the passage of time, while the Luoyang Imperial Court was anxious about the war in Hedong, Liangzhou ushered in the first real development peak in more than a hundred years.

With the promotion of policies, more and more people returned to the household registration records of the government in order to obtain the benefits of the government and live a stable life, under Liu Bei's prestige and promise.

In accordance with Liu Bei's promise, the government will not investigate their previous behavior, and also extended the three-month period for returning to the household registration to six months.

The origin can be blamed in the past, but the place of going and resettlement must be strictly controlled, and the population who have returned to the household registration will be directly incorporated into the collective farms, opening a new wave of collective farm construction.

If there are wealthy and powerful families who want to use this to deceive the government policy and welfare, I am afraid that it will not be possible, and it will be taken into the entire family business.

This has really happened.

At the beginning of August, a Mi family in Beidi County conspired to defraud the government of settlement funds, land, houses, etc., with more than 20 shady households, which was discovered by the government.

Xiahou Yuan, the Taishou of Beidi County, was furious, and in accordance with the regulations set by Liu Bei, he sent people to arrest the entire Mi clan, beheaded the mastermind, and all the rest were put into official slaves to work, and the family property was confiscated.

In mid-August, the same situation occurred in the three counties of Anding, Hanyang, and Longxi.

According to the regulations, Xiahou Dun, the Taishou of Anding County, Gaixun of Hanyang County, and Zhang Fei, the Taishou of Longxi County, respectively exterminated the two, five, and three households of the Haoqiang family, and then passed on the first ten counties and two vassal states to deter Xiaoxiao.
