Chapter 290: Xu Benqian, the first household registration, wants to be charitable, Queen Zhang

"Benqian, thank you for your hard work..."

When Xu Tingguang saw his young mentor, his nose felt sore and he wanted to bow down.

But he was helped up by Mr. Zhang and led him down.

Seeing the dusty body coming to see me first for washing my eyes, my disciple, the young master with red eyes, was also a little moved.

"It's okay to be a teacher, don't act like this young child."

Xu Benqian nodded fiercely, wiped the corners of his eyes and then told him what he had done in Jiangnan.

"The disciples carefully distributed the 120,000 s of grain in the surrounding area. The price of grain has not fluctuated and no one noticed it."

But Xu Benqian bowed and said softly: "Suzhou magistrate Cao Mingqi has helped his disciples a lot, and he has helped his disciples with many things."

After roughly telling about his life in Jiangnan, Xu Benqian then thanked Miss Miao'an for sucking the tea.

The previous secret letter was handed over by the young master to go to Jiangnan to collect grain, including those for Cao Mingqi and Wen Zhengming's family.

The acquisition was carried out in secret and scattered in many places. The young master asked not to attract any attention.

Go into the village quietly, don’t shoot the gun! After collecting it, you will withdraw it immediately.

Xu Benqian was busy in Jiangnan and saw the story of the young master in the "Imperial Times" in the capital.

Xiao Xu was immediately scared to death and almost rushed to the capital.

But at that time, the grain had been purchased almost all, so Xiao Xu gritted his teeth and waited until the collection was completed before he came back in a hurry.

Halfway through his return, I saw news from the Empire Times that his young mentor returned safely and killed Dayan Khan's eldest son.

The old Duke of Tiger Head led 5,000 elite cavalry from the capital to rush to the night, and the young master's troops wiped out all the troops of Dayan Khan's 7,000 troops.

Although Xiao Xu didn't know the true story, he guessed that Dayan Khan's troops should be only part of them. The remaining ones were about to be gathered by the Jinyang clans.

"Benqian, you're back just right!"

The young master looked at his disciple and said with a smile: "It just happened to manage some things and be familiar with government statistics."

As he said that, he saw that Chihu'er asked Miss Miao'an to take out three booklets and hand them over to Xu Benqian.

Xu Benqian respectfully took it and opened it. The big book was a household registration book.

But I saw that the large book was printed in frames and movable type, with the word "residence household registration book" at the top.

When you open it, you will see that the inside is divided into: name, household head or household head relationship, place of birth, ancestral home, birth date, etc., all of which are all blank.

And the booklet with the "sample" is registered.

The head of the household is naturally the head of the family, and the relationship is divided into: husband and wife, concubine, eldest son, second son, eldest son, etc.

Xu Benqian is no longer a government affairs chief at this time, so he naturally knew that the household registration registration at this time was too complicated and almost abandoned.

In the early years of the Kuomintang, the registration was carried out in the Hongwu year, but nearly half of the household registration data were counted at that time.

During the Yongle Dynasty, I wanted to conduct a large-scale statistics, but because it was too complicated, local officials and local emperors resisted it from multiple sources.

Even the Hongwu year household registration texts that were kept in Jinling were mostly damaged.

"Mr., is this... going to do household registration statistics?!"

Xu Benqian was a little unsure, but saw the young master squinting the pair of elixir peach blossoms and smiled: "Shuntian Mansion lacks any treatment, you can temporarily replace it..."

"By the way, I will learn from my teacher this time, what is the battle of Jiran!"

But Mr. Zhang slowly stood up and sighed with his hands behind his back, "It's been thousands of years. It's a pity that the battle of Jiran has not reappeared since the Warring States Period and Wu Yue!"

"You need to observe this operation carefully and remember your experiences. If you have any unknown things, you can ask for your teacher after you."

As he said that, Mr. Zhang lit the two booklets on the desktop and whispered: "By the way, take this opportunity to count the registered population of the capital."

"The book is the 'permanent household registration book', and the registration is a permanent household of a family."

"In triplicate, the household owner keeps one for inspection. One for the local government office, prepare for comparison. One for the Ministry of Revenue in the State Council, and keep it as the foundation."

"The booklet is a personal household. The book should be in line with the booklet, and it should be compared with each other and checked at any time..."

The grain prices in the capital have begun to rise a bit sharply, but recently it has risen to 2 taels and 1 stone, which is shocking.

It should be noted that a stone of grain was only one tael of two cents a month ago, but now it has soared to two taels!

At this time, most of the grain shops belonging to the noble family suddenly limited the sale of grain, and only sold twenty stones a day and closed the shop.

This immediately caused some panic among the people in the capital. Fortunately, Shuntian Prefecture ordered all the markets to find Dingkou to register and distribute new households and identity books.

The yamen runners and fellow villagers made it clear to the people below that the nobles received the imperial edict of His Majesty to prepare to respond to the upcoming disaster victims.

At the same time, it is also to ensure the food rations of the people in the capital, and the food sales have been reduced recently.

After the news came out, the food price stabilized for several days, but it continued to grow slowly afterwards.

"This is...'The Royal Association of the Ming Empire's Royal Charity for the People'?! What is this..."

When Emperor Hongzhi got this book, he was a little puzzled, but saw Empress Zhang standing behind the emperor with a smile and holding his shoulders for him.

"Your Majesty is worried about the government affairs, the victims, the empress dowagers, and the empress dowagers are also feeling..."

Queen Zhang said softly: "That day, Miao'an, Ashikari entered the harem to talk, and also talked about the disaster victims..."

"The Empress Dowager and I are in a sympathy, thinking of doing something for His Majesty and the State Administration of the State. So I asked them to issue the constitution with the Chihuer..."

Emperor Hongzhi smashed his mouth and I still said! Why is the tone of the rules and regulations so similar to what Chihuer did?

It turned out that it was really from his work. As he thought about it, he opened the charter and looked down carefully.

After reading a few pages, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but applaud!

Why?! Because of this, there is a passage written on it:

The lord of the harem, the name of the royal family.

Open the flag and shine the horn to help the world and the people.

Then, the meaning and value of the existence of the "Ming Dynasty Empire Royal Charity Association for the World and the People" is carefully written, and the first thing is to make the royal family closer to the people.

The lord of the harem was originally called "Mother Yi Tianxia". Since it is "Mother Yi Tianxia" to obtain internal treasury financial resources to help the people, isn't that the duty?!

In the name of the royal family, the lord of the harem is to help the world and the people, and to do charity, how can the disaster-stricken people not be grateful and return to the royal family?!

This matter should be persistent, and often charitable matters should be carried out in the name of the royal family and in the harem.

For example, organizing free medical consultations, giving medicine, sending rice to porridge, helping the lonely and widowed... etc. How can the people in the world not be willing to return to the royal family?!

What else can Emperor Hongzhi say after reading this passage?! Emperor Hongzhi, who gritted his teeth, slapped the table: This must be done, this must be done!

This is a matter that concerns the foundation of the royal family for thousands of years. If we follow this, how can the people not be grateful for the favors and kindness of the royal family?!
