"Have you heard? It is said that in the future, as long as outsiders have lived in Xiangshan County for one year, they can enter Xiangshan County for household registration? ”

"How can it be done, there are many people living in Xiangshan County for almost a year now, right? They have also become our Xiangshan people, so how much grain land can we have? ”

"That's right, this second time the grain field will be a lot less, if you add them, how much grain can be divided?"

"No, it is said that this kind of household registration in Xiangshan County will be a special household registration, as if it is a non-farmer household in the civil registration, and it belongs to the non-grain field."

"Really? If that's the case, that's fine! ”

"What are you doing, except for not dividing the grain fields, you are just like us Xiangshan people. Joining the army, as well as going to the money bank for loans, etc., can enjoy the benefits that only belong to us! ”

"Hey, that's what you say, that's true! That's not good, isn't this taking advantage of our Xiangshan? ”

"I don't know if this thing is true or not?"

“……”

In the spring of the eleventh year of Hongwu, there were remarks about the household registration of Xiangshan County, and there were many discussions, and even many people inquired about the county government here, and even heard about Zhang Yifan's side.

Needless to say, for people with household registration in Xiangshan County, they actually don't want to increase the number of people with household registration in Xiangshan County;

However, for those who are not registered in Xiangshan County, they have long envied the benefits of being a native of Xiangshan County, even if there are some regrets about not sharing grain fields, they are very willing to become Xiangshan people.

After Zhang Yifan saw that the discussion was almost hot, he officially posted an official notice announcing the reform of the household registration system again.

First, the household registration in Xiangshan County is divided into peasant households and non-peasant households, that is, whether they can participate in the distribution of grain fields is the difference. The meaning is very clear, peasant households have a share of grain fields, and non-peasant households do not have a share of grain fields. This distinction refers to the household registration of Xiangshan County, including official registration, civil registration and lowly registration.

Second, if a farmer does not cultivate the farmland on his own (for a period of four years) after being allocated farmland twice in a row, whether it is subleased or deserted, the nature of the household registration will be changed and the farmer will be turned into a non-farmer. Conversely, non-farm households renting farmland for farming do not turn into farming households.

Third, people who have lived in Xiangshan County for more than one year cannot be relatives and friends, but have registered with the government, that is, those who live in rented houses in the government, can enter Xiangshan County and become non-rural households in Xiangshan County. The address of naturalization is the centralized household registration of the government.

Fourth, if you buy a house built by the Xiangshan County government, you can also enter the non-peasant households in Xiangshan County, and the naturalization address is the address of the residence.

Fifth, if you do business in Xiangshan County, have inherent assets, and pay 100 yuan or more of continuous tax per year, you can give the quota to the two non-rural households registered in Xiangshan County, which will be arranged by the proprietor himself.

Sixth, Xiangshan County's government-run workshops and factories recruit manpower, and under the same conditions, priority will be given to non-rural households in Xiangshan County's household registration.

The reason why Zhang Yifan wanted to carry out this innovation is because the population of Xiangshan County is growing exponentially, and it can be predicted that the population will definitely expand further in the near future.

In this way, with the level of agricultural cultivation in this era, it is impossible to ensure that everyone is allocated enough grain to eat.

In addition, if this household registration innovation is promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang all over the world, there will be a bigger problem. Xiangshan County didn't know that a place like Nanjing must have a population of one million, and the land around Nanjing would not be enough in any case.

And, it is foreseeable that with the stability of the Ming Dynasty and economic development, the population will inevitably concentrate in cities and towns.

Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish between the population who are engaged in agriculture and those who are not in agriculture.

those who are engaged in agriculture shall divide the grain fields; For those who do not work in agriculture, priority should be given to ensuring job opportunities, and this is one of the directions of this household registration reform.

Although the people of this era probably still attach great importance to the grain fields. However, according to the experience of later generations, Zhang Yifan estimated that when the economic development of the Ming Dynasty and those who worked in non-agricultural households could live better, it was estimated that the people of the Ming Dynasty would change their concepts.

When that happens, you have to worry about whether there will be enough farmers to cultivate the grain fields!

As soon as this hukou reform policy was announced, it immediately caused a sensation in Xiangshan County and the next county, and even the whole of Guangdong.

The benefits of household registration in Xiangshan County, after more than a year of onlookers, are obvious.

First, Xiangshan County is a special zone, directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and has no jurisdiction at the local level, which is equivalent to the level of a Beijing division, which is enough to attract many people.

Second, it will be much easier for people with household registration in Xiangshan County, not to mention the distribution of grain fields, to find a job to make money in Xiangshan County; As for doing business, Xiangshan County is an opportunity to make a fortune, which attracts them even more.

Third, if you are registered in Xiangshan County, it will be easy to go to Qianzhuang for a loan, whether it is to do business or improve your life, the county government has a subsidized loan policy.

Others, who can still join the army, have the possibility of entering the martial arts hall, no longer have a hereditary occupation, and no longer become a lowly status such as Lehu, which is even more attractive to this kind of people.

For people with household registration in Xiangshan County, they are actually reluctant to carry out this household registration reform. However, now the resident population of Xiangshan County accounts for only half of the registered population, and even if they have opinions, they can't spray those who want to enter the household registration of Xiangshan County. The relationship between the two types of people is naturally unfriendly.

Of course, more importantly, no one dared to challenge the authority of the county order.

Yongjiahou back then was amazing, right? How many people were killed in the southern and northern wars, and he was a hereditary marquis with iron coupons, the founding father ranked twenty-seventh, and directly broke into the Panyu County Ya to whip the county order, daring to oppose the county order, the final result, not every Xiangshan person, the whole Guangdong, the whole country saw his fate.

The county order of the horse, turning over the hands and rain, can make the Marquis of Yongjia become a thief with the army, and can also restore the title of Marquis Yongjia.

The people of Xiangshan County, who dares to challenge the county order and question the opposition to the county order?

In fact, only a small number of people hid and beeped, and most of them were still grateful for the county order. Without the county order, there would be no place for them today, and there is no possibility for them to pick and choose.

Most of the pirates who had been captured were converted to civilian registration when the new household registration policy was promulgated. Among them, those who farm on Qiao Island have become farmers, and the others are non-farmers.

With the promulgation of the policy, the Xiangshan County Ya here is lively, and they are all queuing up to enter the house.

Those outsiders who work for the Xiangshan County government, because they have food and housing, live in the rented houses of the government, and when they reach a year, they become the luckiest people and can directly enter the non-rural households in Xiangshan County.

Those who do business in Xiangshan County, especially those who have long-term plans to do business, have basically bought cement houses built by the government before the policy was promulgated. These people have also become another group of lucky people, who were able to directly enter the non-rural households in Xiangshan County.

As for the rest, the price is high.

Originally, the cement house built by the government in Xiangshan County was an ordinary bungalow, the kind with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, which was about five yuan; The kind of two-bedroom, one-living room and one-bathroom is about nine dollars; and those with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms are about fifteen yuan;

The kind of courtyard house, the kind with side rooms, and the kind with two entrances, will be twenty times. If there are more than three courtyards, the Xiangshan County government has not built it at all.

As soon as the policy of being able to buy a house was introduced, these house prices skyrocketed. Even though the Xiangshan County government issued a notice saying that more houses would be built in the future, it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of outsiders to buy houses.

Basically, all the house prices doubled in just one month, and finally sold out, and the construction team in Xiangshan County had to start building houses.

Of course, it is inevitable that some people will sell their houses.

For example, if someone wants to enter the house, they first buy a house for nine dollars, but the person behind them wants to enter the house even more, so they pay a high price, and naturally some people covet the money and sell it to others.

However, there is a premise for this kind of sale, it is necessary to register with the government and pay taxes before it can be recognized as a house.

Zhang Yifan was a little worried about the tendency of some people to speculate at first, so he made two preparations.

First-hand measures, if the same household buys three or more sets, the tax is doubled. If you already have five sets, you can't buy them again, but you can replace them.

The second measure is to let the engineering team build more houses and continue to put them on the market.

When the spring of the eleventh year of Hongwu passed and the summer came, the entire Xiangshan County was almost like a pregnant woman's belly, and it was bigger again.

The registered population of Xiangshan County has doubled from more than 70,000 last time to about 150,000. Of these, more than 20,000 were converted from pirate captives. The rest of them are the ones who entered the household registration in Xiangshan County from other towns this time through the household registration reform.

As for those who come from outside to work, do business, etc., there are about 150,000 people who are not registered in Xiangshan County, and there are still outsiders who come in every day.

Xiangshan County has reached the scale of Guangzhou City. And it is foreseeable that in the near future, Xiangshan County will surpass Guangzhou City and become the most populous place in Guangdong.

The wharf in Xiangshan County has become the first choice for outsiders to come to Xiangshan County. After all, it is most convenient to take a boat from Guangzhou, and it is the most convenient to go directly to the wind and water.

As a result, on the dock side, many people feel that the county order was too big to build this wharf at the beginning, and it was purely a waste. As a result, at this time, it was already a little crowded, and even if there was an expansion, it was still crowded. All the more so because there was no place to expand the warehouses and houses that were built near the docks.

The construction team on the county government had to find another suitable place downstream to build a second Xiangshan County wharf. However, the old wharf is still crowded with people.

The transport ships belonging to the Yamen of Xiangshan County are constantly coming and going, coming and going from the south to the north, coming and going in a hurry.

No, another passenger ship docked, and then, the flow of people rushed off the boat, looking at the crowd of people on the dock, and all kinds of shouts to solicit business, they were a little stunned.

"I live in a homestay, I live in a homestay, it's cheap and comfortable!"

"Guest, don't you eat? The villain knows that there is a shop, not to mention the cheap price, and it is all authentic Xiangshan food! ”

"Recruit workers, ask for young and strong, and hire at a high price!"

"Is there a scholar? My husband hired a private school gentleman, and the remuneration was favorable! ”

“……”

In the crowd, there was a young couple who had just gotten off the boat, dressed simply, looking at the lively scene in front of them, they were very excited.

I heard this man say: "Lady, don't worry, although I can't study, I still have vision, and I will definitely be able to get ahead in this Xiangshan County, and return home with you and his clothes!" ”

"Well, Xianggong is the best!" When the woman heard this, she quickly nodded and said, "Xiangshan County also recruits female workers, I heard that I can make a lot of money, and I will work hard!" ”

The two of them were full of dreams in the future, when they saw a man dressed as a guy squeezing over, and asked with a courteous smile: "May I ask where the two of you are from, can you see the next guide?" As long as you are a serious person, I can introduce you to the best paid jobs, both men and women. ”

When the man heard this, he asked, "Listen to your tone, are you a native of Xiangshan?" ”

"Of course." When the man heard this, he quickly replied proudly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to give you a ticket and say that it is the best job to be paid." Let me tell you, my cousin works in the county office, so I can earn this tooth money! ”

After a pause, he added: "I think Gongzi seems to be a person who has seen the world, and at a glance I know that he is motivated, and he will definitely be able to do something in the future!" So the rest of me didn't look for it, so I wondered if I could help Childe! ”

When the man heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "Thank you for Jiyan, this is Lu Yin, take a look!" ”

After the man took it, he immediately unfolded it and looked at it and said, "Oh, Zheng Baolu, the Shaoguan people ......."

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze!" Suddenly, the man scolded the person who hit him, and then said to Zheng Baolu: "There are too many people here, it's inconvenient to speak, let's go, let's go to a quiet place on the side, I will introduce you to a good job, the absolute price is the highest." ”

When Zheng Baolu heard this, he nodded hurriedly, and with hope, he held his daughter-in-law's hand and left the dock.

As a result, what he never expected was that after arriving in a remote place, not only did he not get the high-paying job he wanted, but a few more people came out and surrounded the couple.

"I advise you to obediently hand over the plate, otherwise, if I tear up this guide, you will become a homeless, not only will you not be able to find a job, but you will also be arrested and imprisoned by the government!"

As soon as he heard this, looking at the few people with bad intentions, Zheng Baolu knew that he had been fooled.

He clutched the package on his shoulder and immediately begged for mercy, but it was useless.

These people stepped forward and punched and kicked the couple together, not only snatching the entanglement, but also taking away his guide. Before leaving, the man also threatened viciously: "My cousin is really a person who works in the county government, if you dare to report to the official, just wait for prison food!" ”

Shaoguan is far away from Xiangshan County, and this kind of person is the best place to start.

Without a road guide, even if you report to the official, you have to verify your identity, and you don't know how many days will pass back and forth, and the resulting costs are not a small amount.

Not to mention, I don't know the identity, I don't know the name, and it's hard to investigate this kind of case.

Therefore, the local government can generally ignore the cases of outsiders, unless it is a major case of human life, which cannot be avoided.

As long as you pick someone right, and one of them is one, basically there is no mistake.

Watching these gangsters walk away, the woman cried: "What should we do, Xianggong, what should we do?" ”

As soon as he arrived in Xiangshan County, his dream was shattered, and he was unfamiliar with the place, and he didn't even have the money to go back, which was really a big blow to Zheng Baolu.

Although he was only robbed of three times of money, this was already the money that the family had made up for him as much as possible.

When ordinary people encounter this kind of thing, according to their own cognition, they will eventually become black workers when they report to the official.

However, Zheng Baolu was different, and immediately decided to report to the official.

"But...... But the man said that his cousin worked in the county office? ”

Zheng Baolu listened, comforted his daughter-in-law and said: "The county order here is a court horse, and he has done so many practical things, it is not comparable to the officials on our side." And I believe that we are not the only victims, there must be others. Unless the colt didn't know, he wouldn't have left it alone. ”

That person was really right before, although Zheng Baolu went out for the first time, he went to a private school for a few days, and often listened to some stories told by Mr. Private School, who knew some truths and had a certain amount of knowledge.

Not only did he know that there were more opportunities in Xiangshan County, but he also knew the difference between the county order and the ordinary county order, so he chose to believe that the county order would give him justice.

So, he took his daughter-in-law and inquired and went to the county office.

In the county office, Zhang Yifan was talking to his daughter-in-law when he heard the sound of drumming from the front office, and he was stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang set up the Dengwen drum, and there was naturally a similar drum in the local area.

However, no one has beaten this drum here in Xiangshan County at all. This was the first time I heard it, which made Zhang Yifan a little surprised.

Now the affairs of the Xiangshan County Ya, he let the officials of the six departments under him deal with it, and then hired the curtain to give opinions on the results, and finally he signed and sealed.

The matter of ascending to the court to ask the case has not happened since he overturned the original classic Shi Ma Ruhai.

Hearing the sound of drums at this time, he naturally asked the case personally.

The person who beats the drum is naturally Zheng Baolu. He went to the yamen to report the case, but he couldn't get a way out, and the outsiders who couldn't verify their identities were sent away directly, but Zheng Baolu was not convinced, and finally beat the drum played at the yamen, fighting the risk of being imprisoned, and finally alarmed the concubine.

"I don't know who he is, but he can't deal with it based on what he said with empty mouths and white teeth?" The warden defended himself, "Now the yamen is very busy, and it can't send people to Shaoguan to verify." What if he makes a false accusation and tosses the county government? ”

Zheng Baolu naturally defended himself, saying that it was the real thing or something.

After Zhang Yifan heard this, he was shocked, and immediately shouted: "Come on, put them in prison, and when the yamen is free, send someone to Shaoguan County to verify!" ”

Then he turned and turned back.

Zheng Baolu shouted the truth, no matter how he shouted, it was useless, and he was dragged by the officials on the spot and put in prison.

This matter seems to be over.
