Chapter 718 Household Registration System
"Ugh"
"Let's do something, come and call Pang Tong, Sima Wei and others to my study!"
"I have something important to discuss with them!"
Jiang Chen issued an order.
Not too long later, when Jiang Chen returned to his study, Pang Tong and others had already arrived, it seemed that their speed was indeed fast.
As long as it is called by Jiang Chen, they will arrive at the fastest speed.
"My lord, I don't know if there is something important to call the old minister?"
As a junior, Pang Tong naturally shouldered the responsibility of taking the blame.
"I came here mainly for the population management of Hanzhong!"
"In the past, how did you manage the population??"
Jiang Chen looked at Pang Tong and asked.
"Back to my lord, follow the old system!"
"They are all accounted for, and tax payments and military service are reported according to this account!"
Pang Tong didn't dare to neglect, and quickly replied.
"What is an account??"
Jiang Chen asked with some puzzlement. After all, he didn't understand the systems of the Han Dynasty. If there was no help from Pang Tong and the others to answer questions, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was illiterate in the Han Dynasty.
"My lord, since each family's genealogy is similar, each big family will report to the government according to the population on its genealogy, and the government will transcribe it!"
"When paying taxes, they are all verified according to this book!"
"Basically, the village chief, Li Zheng and the patriarch of the big family are jointly responsible for providing the roster and supervision!"
"Then the government will conduct a unified collection!"
"."
Pang Tong replied.
Basically, in ancient times, the family was the development unit, and each family would have its own genealogy, and the genealogy could roughly know the basic population of each family.
"Well, it's a bit confusing, and the genealogy of the big family is very confusing!"
"Many populations are not recorded!"
"Not very good, I think there is still room for improvement!"
After Jiang Chen heard Pang Tong's words, he shook his head and denied it.
The big family provides the list, which will lead to many situations, such as concealing the report, or deliberately increasing the service pressure of some collateral families.
This will lead to many things becoming more unfair under the manipulation of the big family.
And with the intervention of the big family, many collateral families will have to submit to the management of the patriarch of the big family, and will have to succumb to their silver prestige.
"That's what the lord said!"
"The old minister also thinks that this method has a lot of disadvantages. I don't know if the lord has any clever strategies?"
Lord Pound asked suddenly.
"My lord, this old minister has an immature idea!"
"I don't know if I should speak or not!"
At this moment, Sima Wei, who had been pondering for a while, suddenly spoke out.
This made Jiang Chen stunned for a moment, he nodded slightly to him, and said with a smile:
"Go ahead!"
"I'm waiting for this to be a discussion, there is no right or wrong!"
"Don't hide your thoughts, I will not offend others because of my speech!"
Jiang Chen gave Sima Wei an encouraging look.
Of course, what he wants is someone who can have his own ideas, not those nods. At least, Pang De Company and Sima Wei are highly respected existences.
Their talents also match their fame.
This is also what Jiang Chen is most satisfied with.
"My lord, the veteran thinks that it is better to adopt the system of one household, one registration!"
"Each family living in a courtyard is one record, and they are registered with one household registration!"
"In this way, these disadvantages can be eliminated!"
Sima Wei thought for a while and put forward his own idea.
"This method is wonderful, but it will invisibly increase a lot of work for the tax office!"
"It turns out that all the big families pay uniformly. The tax office does not need to manage such cumbersome personal agricultural and commercial taxes. After all, the tax office is also a human being, and their working ability is limited!"
Hearing Sima Wei's words, Mr. Pound nodded, but he also pointed out the disadvantages of this job.
"Isn't it possible to recruit more tax staff?"
"Isn't the problem solved?"
Sima Wei said.
"Wouldn't that require a lot of tax collectors, which would put a huge burden on the country!"
"After all, our funds are mostly used for infrastructure construction!"
"If you can save, you can save. If you think about it, you will have to add at least a thousand tax officials just in Hanzhong City. How much salary will you get this year?"
"If the whole of Hanzhong is changed, and the whole world is changed in the future, wouldn't it cost hundreds of thousands or even more for the tax staff alone?"
"What is the state going to feed them with?"
"Just paying the salary alone has put a heavy burden on the country. How can we talk about development in the future?"
Mr. Pang De's words quickly plunged the scene into silence.
Sima Wei also remained silent, he understood that Lord Pang De's analysis was very reasonable.
If it is really necessary to increase tax staff, the number must be very large. After all, whether it is agricultural tax or commercial tax, the work is extremely cumbersome.
The number of officials in the country is limited, and it is indeed a bit too much to suddenly increase so much.
"This"
Everyone turned their gazes to Jiang Chen, and now they had no choice but to see if Jiang Chen could think of a way to solve this problem.
"I think the method Sima Wei just mentioned is really feasible!"
"Not only do they have to establish their household registration, but they also need to issue a household registration book to represent their identity, their population, place of origin, ethnicity, etc."
"And use a special number to classify them!"
"If you want to do it, do it completely."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, everyone also nodded, feeling that Jiang Chen's suggestions are very worthy of recognition.
But in doing so, there is still no way to solve the disadvantage just now.
Although the method is good, it requires too much manpower and material resources.
"As for Mr. Pound's concern about the salary of the tax collectors!"
"I thought there was no need to worry about this issue at all!"
"As long as it is implemented, not only will it not increase the country's burden, but it will even make the country's management more orderly and standardized!"
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"My lord, where did you say that?"
"The ministers are ignorant, please explain the confusion to the old minister!!"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Pang Degong felt bewildered, and didn't understand what he meant. Could it be that this salary can be conjured out of thin air? ?
Even Sima Wei and Pang Tong nodded, feeling that Jiang Chen's words were a little unbelievable.
They simply cannot see where it will not increase the burden on the country.
As far as the present is concerned, at least tens of thousands of tax collectors will be added. Who will bear the salaries of these people?
They thought for a long time, but they didn't come up with a reason.
