Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 36 Household Registration System
"My lord, some thugs tried to hijack the Western expert Watt you hired recently. Fortunately, the guards shot him dead on the spot, otherwise we would be in danger." Chen Ting reported to Chu Yun with the recent report on what happened in Jinzhou Guard.

Since Jinzhou City was running at high speed and earth-shaking changes were taking place every moment, Chu Yun asked Chen Ting to report to him the changes in the city every day.

"Who did it?" Chu Yun closed a copy of "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and took Chen Ting's report.

"The undercover Jin Ren stayed in Jinzhou City." Chen Ting replied.

"This is a good thing." Chu Yun was unmoved.

"Good thing? Sir, are you trying to make fun of me?" Chen Ting asked suspiciously.

"The Jin people want to kidnap our Western experts, which means that they are afraid of us. They are afraid that Western experts will help us create more powerful firearms and then destroy them." Chu Yun said.

"Sir, what you said is reasonable..." Chen Ting nodded first, and then shook his head, "No, sir, if they succeed and make the same firearms as us, wouldn't we be unable to deal with them?"

"Do you think it is easy to make a rifle or artillery? Without mature smelting technology, a complete industrial system, and skilled workers, it can only be regarded as shoddy manufacturing, and the supply of ammunition is also a huge problem." Chu Yun said.

Chu Yun has a deep understanding of this.Unless Hou Jin gets all the people he summons there, even if one or two people are tied up, it is tantamount to a dream to set up a complete industrial system.

"But sir, don't be afraid of 20, just in case..." Chen Ting was still worried, "I have been an official for [-] years, and this is the first time I have seen a chief who loves the people like a son, I really don't want Jinzhou to return to Jinzhou under the rule of man."

"How about this—" Chu Yun thought for a while, maybe he should be more careful, after all, every technical expert summoned is like a baby, if he is kidnapped or assassinated by Houjin, how much more will his industrial blueprint be? less likely to be affected.

"We set up an inspection detachment to be responsible for the security of Jinzhou City. The number of people is temporarily set at 100. The current task of this inspection detachment is to establish a new household registration system in Jinzhouwei."

"Each household needs to truthfully report the size of the family and issue an ID number to each person. People without an ID number are not allowed to enter Jinzhou City, contract land, or work in our Jinzhouwei industry."

Chu Yun thought that the identity card system of later generations might be able to solve this problem.Because the household registration number follows a person for the rest of his life and is used no matter whether he travels or works, it will impose great constraints on people's behavior. After all, no one wants to have stains on their files.

After listening to Chu Yun's solution, Chen Ting pondered for a short time, and then his eyes gradually shone: "Wonderful, wonderful, this way we can easily find out people with unknown origins! And more importantly, in the future It facilitates our management! Whether it is the Agricultural Bureau, Lunzhuan, or other institutions, we can make full use of one file, especially reducing the cost of tax collection!"

"Exactly." Chu Yun smiled.In fact, the establishment of the household registration system and personal files has far more benefits than that.

Of course, there are still some problems in the current household registration system, that is, the problem of preventing forgery of ID numbers.

This problem is temporarily solved with the existing banknote anti-counterfeiting technology, and it will be applied to the anti-counterfeiting technology after Chu Yun points out a new technology.

"Then who should be the captain of the inspection detachment?" Chen Ting asked.

"You will take the temporary position first. You can go to Mrs. Yang of the [-]st Infantry Brigade. He must have a hundred more people. Damn, he has expanded the size of the [-]st Infantry Brigade in private. Don't think I don't know. " Chu Yun said.

"It's true that nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the chief. I didn't even notice that there were more people in the first brigade." Chen Ting sweated profusely, and admired his chief even more.

Chu Yun smiled.He has an industrial revolution system, and his military strength will be counted into the civilization point, so Chu Yun is really as clear as a mirror about how many troops he has under his command.

It's just that he has a tacit attitude towards the large-scale military expansion of his subordinates.The reason is simpler. With only 1000 people, it is undoubtedly a dream to defend such a big Golden State Guard.Therefore, the expansion of the Liao battalion is a certainty. Chu Yun's subordinates are just following this trend, and it is better not to go too far.

"Go down and prepare. Be sure to explain the benefits of the household registration system to the people, so as not to arouse complaints from the people." Chu Yun finally urged.

"Yes! Your Excellency thinks highly of me, and I should be like Zhuge Kongming, who has dedicated himself to death!" Chen Ting, a civil servant, saluted Chu Yun with a dignified military salute.

After Chen Ting left, Chu Yun turned back to Shi Naiyan's Romance of the Three Kingdoms.At this time, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been published for 200 years.

"As expected of a masterpiece, so many things from ancient to modern times are being talked about in jokes." Chu Yun couldn't help sighing as he flipped through the familiar and unfamiliar masterpieces.

Trivial footsteps were heard on the threshold.After a while, several experts from Great Britain came to Chu Yun's room.

Chu Yun closed the book again and looked up at the technical experts.Watt, Tell, Townsend and others were all of the generation that witnessed the rise of the British Empire in the 18th century.

"Mr. Watt, I heard that you were attacked by Jin spies. Are you alright?" Chu Yun asked.

"That group of savage golden men is too much!" Watt protested, shaking his fists. "They may feel that my research results will threaten them, and they want to kidnap a great inventor like me to them! But I am loyal to you, General, You will not yield to the barbaric golden man!"

What he said was level, he not only condemned Hou Jin, but also praised himself, and showed his loyalty.

"Ahem, I am relieved that Mr. Watt is fine. This time I called everyone here because I have doubts in my heart and want to consult with you." Chu Yun said.

"Your Excellency, just say, if there is anything we can help, we will definitely know everything." Several experts said in unison.

Yes, even such a complicated idiom can be used.Chu Yun secretly laughed.

"That's right. You are all high-level talents of the great British Empire. You have witnessed the glory of the British Empire. You should know the Royal Navy, right?" Chu Yun asked.

"Some of my friends are serving in the Royal Navy, and they still know a little about the Royal Navy. I don't know why my lord is asking this?" Townsend, the British aristocrat, said.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just want to ask how much it costs to build the sailing battleship of the Royal Navy of the British Empire."
