Guo Yunhou also knew that there were too many hidden households in the Ming Dynasty, fleeing households, and there were too many people in the country, so many that he could not even find out.

Not to mention the mere Ministry of Revenue, even if the governments around the world have mobilized all over the world to investigate, it is probably not possible to find out in a short time.

You should know that the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty has always been a mess. Military households have always been military households, and craftsmen have always been craftsmen, passed down from generation to generation.

But as we all know, the Ming Dynasty's household registration system caused many people to suffer great losses and had nowhere to seek justice, so many people wanted to break away from this household registration system.

But how difficult is it to get rid of the household registration? Don’t let the bank leave the household registration? Those with the bank still have to think about quitting the household registration?

Things seem to be in a vicious cycle here. Those who have no money find a way to get rid of their household registration and change their lifestyle. Those who have money don’t care.

But Zhou Shuren once said that there are always more ways than difficulties.

For example, what should I do if I have land under my name but don’t want to pay taxes?

In fact, it is easy to deal with. Just find a more reliable scholar in your own home or village and devote the land to it. But in this way, your family's nationality will be considered a slaughter and become a slave or a hidden household.

There are also a large number of people who do not want to be a military household and are unwilling to be able to eat enough or wear warm clothes in the garrison for the rest of their lives. They simply choose to be deserters and then become fugitives.

Some people who lost the road and couldn't go home and had nowhere to go, so they naturally became fugitives.

The last one is even more fucked. In order to avoid paying more taxes, no matter how many children the family has, the ones behind them are called waiters, and they will not admit how many children they have in their family.

Anyway, I can’t get the land, so why do I have to pay taxes?

As a result, countless little girls, three little girls, four little girls, five little girls, six little girls, etc. became waiters, and finally became hidden houses.

It is precisely because of this that Guo Yunhou has never thought about any census, and it is only the case that it is not checked, and it is impossible to check it.

And just like Emperor Chongzhen's concern, Guo Yunhou felt a little afraid of being a rude and did not dare to do such a big move as a census.

From the perspective of interests, the interests of land are the most valued, but only land has a good use, there must be someone to do it!

For example, some special industries, such as brothels and Chu Pavilions, and those dark workshops, those who are not registered or have no household registration can just throw them out after they die, and no one cares about them at all.

Especially after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen loved the people as much as his son, even if Emperor Chongzhen just wanted to gain a reputation, the local governments would not dare to neglect such matters. They had to show enough attitude.

So how should you show your attitude?

It's very simple. Just care enough for the people. Occasionally, I'm normal to write to the court to ask for a reduction of taxes or something? Is it okay for the people to care for it for no reason?

If you go there a few more times, will your official voice be better? Is it easier to get promoted?

After all, Emperor Chongzhen had a killing weapon like a factory guard, and no one wanted to be targeted by the Jinyiwei because of hundreds of people, and then lead to his own head moving.

It is precisely because of this that the black-hearted workshops and landlords in various places have a headache. The originally worthless mud legs seem to become more expensive overnight. The government cares about it from time to time. Can we still live this life! Can we still make money?

But Lu Xun once said that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.

The government cares about those mud legs, right? Let’s try it out if we don’t have household registration? Especially those barbarians from foreign races, no one seems to care about it?

After the first group of people who ate crabs tasted the sweetness, the people who didn't have time to eat the largest and fattest crabs naturally couldn't sit still and began to turn their attention to those who did not have a Ming household registration, whether they were Han or barbarians.

When these people without household registration sued the government, the government's first reaction was: This official, the great master of Qingtian, wanted to make decisions for the people!

Then the second reaction is: Who is the one who has no household registration book? What a joke? Can any cat or dog say that he is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty?

I wonder what kind of rich barbarians in the city are planning to give tens of thousands of taels of silver in order to get a Ming Dynasty household registration?

Of course, I love to be honest and honest, so I definitely cannot collect money from this barbarian, so I naturally cannot give them the household registration.

Those who take the money don’t have a household registration, and I don’t treat him as a human being. You who don’t have a household registration want the same treatment as the people of the Ming Dynasty?

Wake up, stop dreaming!

What kind of treatment can these people without household registration be imagined without the support of the government?

Even when Emperor Chongzhen called on the people to immigrate to Luzon and Java, these hidden households could not escape from Luzon because the government did not admit it!

But nearly half of the Ming Dynasty's population is in this state!

With so many people not understanding, Emperor Chongzhen felt unhappy, and many plans could not be implemented at all.

Hearing that Emperor Chongzhen and Guo Yunhou could make the census a few words, Wen Tiren bowed and said, "I will report to Your Majesty to investigate the population, which has been found in all dynasties, but the Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions, which is naturally different from that in previous dynasties.

The system of household registration in the Ming Dynasty was decided by Emperor Taizu Gao, to argue for the noble and humbleness, correct the status and pass on it from generation to generation.

Now that Your Majesty has investigated the population, if there is no change, it would be a hidden household or a hidden household, and a fleeing household or a fleeing household. Wouldn't it be contrary to Your Majesty's original intention?"

Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew this.

After eleven years of Hongwu, the household registration booklets began to be compiled. Because the booklets sent to the Ministry of Revenue were made of yellow covers, they were also called yellow booklets. Since this thing was found, they have been built every ten years, which was counted by local governments, and then sent to the Ministry of Revenue, and finally stored in Houhu, Nanjing.

In fact, as early as the Zhengde period, the Yellow Book system had already had a large number of deceiving Ding households and uneven taxes and service.

To this end, the One-whip law was implemented in the ninth year of Wanli, changing the taxation basis of people to land and acres.

Although the one-whip method increased the land tax, it made the population problem no longer the focus of the government, and farmers gained more personal freedom, making demographics increasingly difficult.

Although the whip method was later abolished, the demographics are becoming increasingly difficult anyway.

Especially during the Chongzhen period, it was like a treasure with a household registration, and it was difficult for those without a household registration to get a household registration.

Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a while before saying, "Actually, I intend to give birth to the fugitive households, and I also intend to abolish the household registration system, such as no longer distinguishing between officials and gentry households, civilian households, military households, craftsmen, stove households, etc.."

In fact, the Ming Dynasty’s household registration system was very fucking.

The household registration system established during the founding of the Ming Dynasty included royal households, officials and gentry households, civil households (farmers, Confucians, doctors, yin and yang), military households (campus, strong men, bow shops, military craftsmen), craftsmen (chefs, tailors, horses and boats), stove households (salt households), merchant households, Confucian households, post households, etc.

In addition to the above population, there are also royal family populations, shaded populations and ethnic minority populations. With the development of industry and commerce, municipality has also been included.

The question is, if an insurance sells in the future, do you have to get an insurance account? What should I do if a programmer is out?

According to php, java, and c, to separate households?

Stop being bullshit, it’s obviously unrealistic!

And why do those who serve in the army have to join the army for generations? Why can the descendants of craftsmen be craftsmen? Can I just want to study? Can I just want to join the army?

Wen Tiren naturally understood what Emperor Chongzhen meant. After pondering for a while, he spoke: "Your Majesty, let alone changing the household registration system is contrary to the ancestral system, even if it is not easy for the people to accept it for a while?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Then accept it slowly."

The ancestral system is a good thing. For example, some people can only wear pigskin boots, which is the ancestral system, which must be strictly implemented. For example, if you have to peel the skin and solid grass in corruption, it is also strictly implemented.

But sometimes, the ancestral system is the most deceptive thing. For example, now, Emperor Chongzhen wants to change all household registrations into nationality, and there is no distinction between farmers, Confucianism, medicine, yin and yang in the nationality, so the ancestral system has become a major obstacle.

Of course, it is a big obstacle for other emperors. For Emperor Chongzhen, it is actually just that. I have accepted the order of heaven, and said it and followed the law. I can't do it if I want to change it?

Just ask who agrees and who object?

As for the issue that the people cannot accept, from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty to the Chongzhen period, wouldn’t we accept so many disadvantages of the household registration system?

Can you not accept it if you change it to a good one? Apart from fools, those who don’t accept it are those vested interests!

As for vested interests, Emperor Chongzhen was the least concerned about the military and did not cause trouble. The factory guards were in hand, and all kinds of vested interests were all sarcastic.

If you don’t believe it, please let them try if it’s a knife or a sharper head?

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen continued, "In addition, those little three and four who are called waiters are the top priority. Tell the government below that all the counts should be counted for me, so there is no need to worry about the land of these people. Anyway, there are so many places that can always be arranged."

Wen Tiren bowed and said, "Your Majesty wants to hide the door and live in the border?"

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "Isn't the Hidden House also my people in the Ming Dynasty? What's wrong with using them to make a living?

My dear friends also know that forcibly moving the people to the border will inevitably cause complaints from the people.

But what about these hidden households? Will they be willing to go from untouchables who originally had no household registration to ordinary people, and then divide their due land and benefits?

The Grand Historian said that the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit.

As the emperor, I regard all people as my son, so naturally I do not want to threaten with swords and guns, but there must be people in so many lands? Therefore, it is better to tempt them with profit."

Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou looked at each other in secret, and after they both understood what the other person's eyes meant, they bowed together and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't flatter me. Doing this thing well is the best explanation to me!"

After Wen Tiren, Guo Yunhou and others bowed and promised repeatedly, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and ordered Wen Tiren and others to retreat.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Wang Chengen: "It is said that Cui Chengxiu, Xu Xianchun, and Ma Shi, Cao Huachun came to see me."

After receiving the message summoned by Emperor Chongzhen, Cui Chengxiu and Xu Xianchun hurried to the palace, not even caring too much about the image of Emperor Chongzhen summoned two of them at once. It was probably something big happened!

After Cui Chengxiu and Xu Xianchun entered the palace, they felt that something might have happened in their hearts. Even Ma Shi, the governor of the West Factory, and Cao Huachun, the governor of the East Factory, were summoned. If nothing big happens, who would believe it?

However, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen spoke, Cui Chengxiu and others breathed a sigh of relief: "I will order the Ministry of Revenue to recreate the yellow book, investigate hidden households, fleeing households, and cheap households.

The Jinyiwei and the East and West Factory each passed the news to me to pay attention to the dynamics of the local governments, to see if there are any people who dare to do whatever they mean behind my back, and to see how many people are obstructing them, do you understand?"

Cui Chengxiu and others immediately bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

As long as there is no big problem, things like this that are in the responsibility of the factory guard will be very simple, and I am afraid there will be some fatal problems!

After nodding, Emperor Chongzhen stood up from his chair and slowly walked to the front of the huge map hanging in the hall.

Just like the time traveler textbook "Tang Brick" written by Emperor Chongzhen before traveling through time, Emperor Chongzhen also followed Li Er's appearance and hung an extremely huge map in the hall and placed a huge sand table.

Obviously, the map and sand table in front of me will be taken by the Shaofu for major changes. It is estimated that the original Hang Ai Mountain will be changed to Leshi Mountain and the Tatar Grassland will be sent again after it is changed to Leshi Grassland.

Cui Chengxiu and others were wondering why Emperor Chongzhen summoned him and others. After just instructing the census, they looked at the map in a daze. Then they heard Emperor Chongzhen say, "You all come and see how wide the territory of my Ming Dynasty is?"

Cui Chengxiu and Xu Xianchun looked at each other and bowed and said, "Your Majesty has expanded the territory for thousands of miles. The territory of our Ming Dynasty is so wide that it has spread far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties. I will congratulate you!"

Emperor Chongzhen chuckled twice, then said, "I have spread thousands of miles of land and killed people all over the world. Wherever my order comes, no one dares to obey it!

However, I don’t know how many people I am in the Ming Dynasty have! And I don’t know how many people are sucking the blood of the Ming Dynasty! Isn’t it, it’s ridiculous?"

After hearing Emperor Chongzhen's statement, Cui Chengxiu and others felt a deep heart.

Emperor Chongzhen has said this before, and every time Emperor Chongzhen speaks in this tone, or expresses his expression, it means that he is about to turn people!
