Chapter 1298: Each other’s thoughts
?Fei Qian was in the south city of Yinshan Mountain, standing in the government office''s study room, looking at a room full of files. These files are the Yinshan household registrations that have been added one after another during this period.
? ? Local officials in the Han Dynasty had a very important criterion for evaluating their political performance, which was taxation. The source of taxation was the household registration file of this house.
Household compilation is carried out on the basis of aligning the people. Households are compiled to align the people. The compilation is in the front and the order is in the back. Already made up, where is Qi?
These four words of innovation by Chinese people really have a long lasting charm.
In other places, the people who are registered in the household registration mainly include four categories of people, mainly landlords, self-cultivators, servants, and farm laborers. But here in Yinshan, it is somewhat different. The largest landowner is Fei Qian, and then there are various small military classes. As for the gentry, they have long since disappeared. The self-cultivator class can only be said to be half of it. After all, most of them have just transferred from being refugees or Montenegrins. Many people have to farm for five years or even longer before they can be granted land and are truly self-cultivated farmers. .
There are basically no servants or farmhands.
??Although there is a military class, most of these people do not hire workers. They have many soldiers under them, and the private soldiers they raise are the best hirers.
The household registration system began in the pre-Qin Dynasty and continued in later generations. The main reason is that it is the most convenient for administrative management and tax collection. Registering households to equalize the people is both an administrative system and a taxation system. According to the current most basic taxes in the Han Dynasty, in addition to the ordinary land rent of thirty to one tax, there is also the poll tax, which is the calculation tax and the oral tax; in addition to the corvee and military service.
Of course, most of the farmers here in Yinshan are considered to be farmers, so the land rent is relatively high, but there is no military service and corvee service, because these labor services are basically replaced by Xianbei slaves. These farmers only need to help out on the grassland in their free time. If you pay some green pennies for reserve, it will be offset.
Is this considered benevolent government?
That’s right.
The positions are just different.
Fei Qian picked up one of the volumes and opened it. He saw a piece of wooden slip which read, "The head of the household, named Liu, is Chang Ren, who lives fifteen miles south of Yinshan Mountain. Liujiazhai is forty years old, and there are two wives and one male, named Zeng." Two women give birth to one child, one person has three acres of homestead, and one cow plows fifty acres." The upright Han scribes did this in one breath from top to bottom.
?Hmm, there is no punctuation.
So the administrative power of interpretation in ancient times was vested in the government.
?This has just begun, and the household registration is a little rough. If the household registration was based on the standards of the Han Dynasty, it would not only need to record these basic information, but also record the origin of the head of the household and his family members, and even indicate the physical health status, personal appearance characteristics, etc...
These were formulated by Xiao He, the founding prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and a special "Nine Chapter Laws" were issued. The "household law" was used to stipulate detailed household registration management methods. Subsequently, each dynasty spared no effort to add to the household registration system. …
In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, in order to prevent households from fleeing, the rulers continued to implement the "Three Chiefs System" in the Northern Wei Dynasty, strengthened grassroots management, rectified the household establishment, and used the "Three Chiefs" as a grassroots organization to implement "Da Suo Mao Yue" .
By the time of the Tang Dynasty, household registration management was quite complete. The "group appearance" and "registration fixation" were implemented. Accounts were made every year and household registration was made every three years. The management was relatively rigorous.
The household registration system was continuously developed and improved during the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the Ming Dynasty implemented the household registration system. In order to prevent counterfeiting and counterfeiting, each household post is numbered and stamped with the official seal. It is made in duplicate, one copy is given to the people for retention and the other is handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Ming government also fabricated yellow books based on the Lijia system.
The Qing Dynasty, a little…
Should we activate the police system?
Fei Qian frowned, looked at the household registration, and thought deeply. Speaking of which, "I, the Qing Dynasty" did not make any contribution to the household registration. In this case, there will definitely be some old people and young people who are anxious. At least the police system was initially established at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, there may be another prerequisite, that is, being force.
?Fei Qian has some impression of the image of the black-skinned dog in TV dramas and movies from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China...
Before the police system, household registration was managed by rural residents at the grassroots level, including the Sanlao, Baojia, and government offices. However, after the police system, it was the police station. The police replaced the government officials and became the grassroots household registration management and criminal and civil handlers. The advantage of the police system is that it strips away part of the clan''s power to rule over the people. However, the police system also has higher requirements for grassroots personnel. Now, it is still a bit difficult to implement.
Now the urban inspection system has been basically established, and the police system and the inspection system cooperate with each other to separate most of the legislative and law enforcement powers from the clans. At the same time, it can also absorb the aging of the army and the disabled soldiers. It is a direction worth trying.
It is better to release it now, after all, manpower and other things still need to be reserved for a period of time...
??It''s just that someone traveled to the Three Kingdoms and did things like stabbing people, either women or men. So I sneaked him into the Three Kingdoms and not only engaged in urban management, but also police. This is really...
Fei Qian silently closed the household registration file and put it down, then adjusted his emotions, nodded with a smile, and praised Ma Yue for his work achievements over the past period of time. Ma Yue was so happy that he couldn''t help but smile. I can''t get that big tooth back.
?Looking at Ma Yue''s excitement, Zhao Yun stood behind Fei Qian and remained silent.
? Huang Xu glanced at Zhao Yun slightly, but didn''t say anything. After all, Huang Xu only cared about Fei Qian''s safety, but what Zhao Yun was thinking about. As long as he didn''t hinder or threaten Fei Qian, Huang Xu would pretend he didn''t see it.
Zhao Yun is actually here, but he is a little distracted. He frowns slightly, thinking about the problem in his heart.
It has been a few days since General Fei Qian came to Yinshan. He first looked at the Yinshan camp, no, now also the construction of Yinshan City. Then he checked the progress and effectiveness of Zhang Lie''s cavalry training, and now he looked at the household registration. It seemed that Yu Fuluo was completely forgotten, as if he had completely forgotten about it.
Zhao Yun glanced at Fei Qian''s back. Did General Fei Qian of the Western Expedition go to Yinshan just to patrol the border? Obviously not, but why do you think General Zhengxi is not in a hurry at all?
?Also, when he went to Baishi Qiang to buy salt, how could General Zhengxi know that people from Baishi Qiang would come to inquire about the situation, and how could he conclude that people from Gao Nu would know the news? Then Gaonu''s people will definitely push Yu Fuluo''s attitude here in Yinshan to change?
??If the question marks in his mind could be seen, there must be a lot of jingling question marks on Zhao Yun''s head. However, Zhao Yun has a dull and steady personality, so although there are so many questions swirling in his mind, he still holds back his temper and observes silently, waiting...
For Fei Qian, the issues that Zhao Yun is considering at the moment are not too big. After all, Bai Shiqiang is not good, and there are Gong Jun and others, right? It''s just that the wind blows from north to south, or It just blows from south to north. Now, the question in Fei Qian''s mind is how big this storm will become and how to deal with it in the future.
Fei Qian clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the clouds rolling in the sky over Yinshan Mountain. He listened to Ma Yue telling some interesting things about Yinshan Mountain during these times. He nodded from time to time, as if he was listening attentively, but in fact he was also distracted.
Would you like to learn from Senior Brother Cao?
This is a problem.
……………
“Atonement? Well, maybe that’s a way…”
Yu Fuluo was thinking about it. Speaking of which, Yu Fuluo is not a decisive and decisive tyrant, and even the tyrant is unmatched. As for Xiong, he is barely qualified. Although he talks about wanting to learn from King Maodun and revitalize the Huns, he is the same as some people. He is a giant only when he spits.
??Maodun was so ruthless that he not only killed his younger brother, but also his mother. You can’t learn from Fu Luo.
Although Yu Fulo had been somewhat wary of Hu Chuquan before, after seeing Hu Chuquan''s unlucky appearance, he didn''t know why he remembered the happy time when the two were friendly to each other when they were children. When he thought of his father''s death, he just remembered it. Huchuquan was the only relative left, and with the persuasion of some elders in the tribe, there was no way he could be ruthless.
??However, even if Huchuquan was released like this, Yu Fuluo would not dare either.
The Yinshan Walled City of General Zhengxi is nearby. All day long, the captain named Zhang roared past the grassland with new soldiers and veterans. The growth of the strength of the Han people on horseback can be seen every day. If they offend General Zhengxi is also in trouble.
Han people…
How come the population of the Han people is so large? They are like wild rabbits on the grassland, nesting one after another, and after another nest, there will be another nest...
"Great Chanyu, the man from the north wants to see you..." said the guard outside the king''s tent.
"Oh, let him come in..." Yu Fuluo said, putting away his somewhat divergent thoughts.
"Dear Chanyu, I wonder how you have considered Shiwei''s suggestions?" Tuoba Xinjin, the Xianbei envoy, interrupted Yu Fuluo''s thoughts. The weather in the north is getting colder and colder. The northern Xianbei are forced to migrate south, but their migration is blocked by the Yinshan Walled City of General Fei Qian of the Western Expedition. They can only bypass the Yinshan White Road and take the west side of the Yinshan Mountain. Yamaguchi, found Yu Fu Luo.
Therefore, Tuoba Xinjin is not very polite, or he doesn''t quite understand what politeness means. The Xianbei people who live in the desert of the north are strong and upright, with some blood mixed with the color-eyed people, and their hair is a little yellow and curly. , like a big brown bear.
?Tuoba Xinjin opened his mouth and pushed Yu Fuluo to the corner. Yu Fulo''s face was inevitably a little ugly.
suggestion? What innovative suggestions can Xianbei people have? It’s not the same old thing, they raise an army together and then divide the acquired population, property and land equally...
Can you give me some creativity?
Although Yu Fuluo didn''t know what the so-called creativity was, he was not very interested in the terms proposed by the Xianbei people. Looking at Tuoba Xinjin, his heart suddenly jumped, and he quickly lowered his head and coughed twice to cover up the irritation in his eyes. The fierce light.
I wonder if I can get a good price by selling this Xianbei envoy?
Since we need to atone for our sins, maybe we can reduce some of the property losses or something?
Yu Fuluo put on a smiling face and said: "Your Majesty, don''t worry...this matter involves many things and should always be discussed. It won''t be too late to relax for a few days..."
Tuoba Xinjin frowned, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to say something, but was blocked by Yu Fuluo''s loud instructions to serve wine and meat. After smelling the aroma of wine and meat, Tuoba Xinjin was a little embarrassed. Ba Xinjin also forgot what he wanted to say before. Just think about it more. If not, just wait another day?
Yu Fuluo cheerfully sang a song to encourage people to drink, and invited Tuoba Xinjin with kumiss. They would eat this and drink that, and they were fat and white, so they were well-known!
?Halfway through eating and drinking, Yu Fuluo wiped his oily hand on his robe, then got up and left the tent. The alcohol content of kumis is not high, but your bladder can’t bear it if you drink too much, so you always have to relax.
But Yu Fuluo had just found a place behind the big tent, and when he was reaching into his leather robe to dig out, he turned around and saw the elders of the clan running over, and then he was stopped by the guards. , but he didn’t leave, just looked at Yu Fuluo in the distance with his dead eyes.
“…” Yu Fuluo muttered a few words in a low voice, submerged in the sound of gurgling water.
The Xiongnu was not a highly centralized political structure, but a tribal alliance system. The chief elder was the leader of another larger tribe. He nominally obeyed the chanyu''s deployment, but he also had full administrative power within his tribe.
?This time, the main person who opposed Yu Fuluo''s killing of Huchuquan was the great elder. Of course, others were not qualified to discuss politics.
?The great elder’s intention is definitely not to cure diseases and save people, or to give a chance to make mistakes, but because he has his own considerations.
For a government with a loose alliance system like the Xiongnu, the greater the authority of the Chanyu, the smaller the authority of the chief elder. At this point, Huchuquan is better alive than dead, because according to the practice of the Xiongnu, Huchuquan is qualified to inherit the position of Shanyu, so if Yufuluo does too much, he can use Huchuquan To replace Yu Fuluo, so as to achieve a smooth transition of power.
If Huchuquan is alive, he can control Fuluo, and for the great elder, Huchuquan has another advantage that Yufuluo does not have. Huchuquan is not biased towards Han people, at least not like Yu Fuluo. What Chinese scriptures are you looking at...
?Of course, this was the judgment of the great elder at the beginning, so the great elder strongly opposed killing Huchuquan from the beginning.
?However, things are always changing, just like the wind on the grassland. Who knows when it will blow the urine back and wet the feet...
Yu Fuluo trembled for a few times, then put down his leather robe, walked over slowly, and said with a smile: "Great Elder, what kind of wind brought you here..."
"My Chanyu..." the great elder stroked his chest and bowed and said, "I heard that the great Chanyu is going to do what... to atone for his sins with the Han people according to the rules of the Han people? To atone for the sin of Huchuquan?"
Yu Fuluo frowned and said, "Who did you listen to?"
"We cannot atone for our sins!" the great elder said categorically, "We Huns have our own Huns'' laws, so why should we listen to the rules of the Han people? This time we are allowed to atone for our sins, and next time we will have to collect money and taxes on us. ! Han people’s rules, hehe, Han people’s **** rules! Do you know that the scattered small tribes in the south pay a tax of 10 per cent on livestock every year?”
"I know..." Yu Fuluo said with some disapproval, "That''s a matter of the Qiang people, what does it have to do with us? And it seems that the Qiang people don''t have any objections. Why, does the great elder have any dealings with the Qiang people?"
“Last time it was the Qiang people, this time it’s us the Huns!” the great elder said as if he was prescient.
"Don''t discuss the crime with the Han people?" Yu Fuluo frowned and glanced at the tent subconsciously. He originally wanted to use the Xianbei people to offset part of his sins.
The eldest elder, who was old and mature, followed Yu Fuluo''s gaze and suddenly smiled: "It seems that Shan Yu has already made arrangements... He is indeed the son of Qiang Qu. Okay, this method is good! I think this can be done! If the Han people don''t Agree to remove King Youxian''s charges, then we will join forces with Xianbei to attack together!" In the heart of the great elder, when he conquered the Yinshan Mountains in the west, his achievements were at least half of those of the Xiongnu. Now that he has turned his back and refused to recognize others, it is extremely abominable. He still thinks! It is simply intolerable to collect any kind of livestock tax to get every inch.
"Uh... this..." Yu Fuluo nodded at first, but when he heard the second part, he realized something was wrong, but he didn''t know what to say for a while.
You say that the Han people are no longer what they used to be?
Do you mean that the Xiongnu now mainly need to rehabilitate themselves?
In the end, Yu Fuluo’s eyes flashed a few times and he said: "This...I will consider it..."
