Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 5 I'd rather be a peace dog than a chaotic person!
walk away from the house.

Ying Zheng's expression was normal, and after walking a few steps, he stopped and said, "Yi (yi)".

Around, a figure walked past like a ghost.

Ying Zheng said indifferently: "Go and check Qin Luoheng's life experience, check carefully, check carefully, and give me news before this big campaign is over."

"Follow the order."

Ying Zheng looked back at the small courtyard with mixed feelings in his heart.

In fact, he was already a little certain in his heart, but such a major matter must be thoroughly checked before he can make a judgment.

Although he is the emperor, he dare not jump to conclusions.

If he admits this, the impact on the court will be very great.

even
It will directly change the original order of the court.

He must be very careful.

Watching the chief official Qin walk away, Qin Luoheng stood there for a while, then returned to the house, picked up the bamboo slips, and flipped through them, but he couldn't read them anyway.

"Domicile."

"The household registration system in the Great Qin Dynasty is strict. Once it is established, it is difficult to change it. Now that the world is at peace, the road to change social status through military merit is basically blocked. I finally got the qualification to be re-registered. I must think carefully about it."

According to Qin Luoheng's understanding, Daqin has two household registration classification methods.

The government uses different standards to distinguish the people, and formulates different tax standards accordingly, and also reflects the differences in social classes through different household registration classifications.

The first category is based on the natural conditions of the people.

That is, according to the division of adults and minors, adults are divided into majors, and minors are divided into minors.

Adults are subdivided into "old" and "indigent" [disabled persons]. These people can be exempted from or reduced from labor.

Among the minors, according to whether they can undertake lighter labor, they are divided into "envoys" and "non-employees".

This category is divided according to whether they can bear labor.

The second category is based on the social status of the people to distinguish.

It is mainly divided into ordinary household registration, service registration, apprentice registration, private slave registration, city registration, disciple registration, high title registration, clan registration, etc.

Qin Luoheng actually didn't have many choices.

In addition to criminal prison and private slave registration, there is also ordinary household registration, service registration and municipal registration, and of course there is a slight chance of disciple registration.

but.

Qin Luoheng didn't consider his discipleship at all.

In layman's terms, the student's registration is the "civil servant establishment" of the Great Qin Dynasty. This is the household registration of those "officials" who entered the school to study and might become legal officials in the future.

This is only for those who have a title in the family to enter.

But among the remaining three household registrations, it was difficult for him to make a decision.

to him.

None of the three were great.

Ordinary people's household registration, that is, the registration of "Jianhu Qimin", includes workers and peasants, and the common people are incorporated into Shiwu according to the law, and will be bound by the continuous seat system.

And
These people are the main body of corvee taxation.

It was also this group of people who were unable to survive in Daqin first.

Falling into this household registration, Qin Luoheng could basically imagine his miserable life in the future. The imperial court sent people to collect taxes every now and then, and they were also arrested to serve in corvee from time to time.

This is not something ordinary people can resist.

I thought about it.

Qin Luoheng still gave up.

If you don't choose ordinary household registration, you can only choose service registration and city registration.

The so-called service registration, that is, "Shiwu registration", is equivalent to the "military registration" of later generations. These people are the main body recruited by the imperial court to fight, and they are also the people who are most likely to obtain military merit.

but.

At this time, the soldiers fought at their own expense.

When fighting, you have to bring your own dry food, and you have to prepare your own clothes and armor.

During the Taiping period, this household registration was very popular, and it would be Qin Luoheng's best choice, but now it is the 31st year of Qin Wangzheng, Qin has not yet conquered the Huns in the north, and has not yet conquered Baiyue. When cannon fodder.

The Xiongnu and Baiyue were not good people.

Although he has good strength, he has no eyes on the battlefield, and no one can tell what will happen. For a person who grew up in peacetime, it is a bit difficult to enter the battlefield.

Then only city registration remains.

City registration, that is, the merchant's household registration.

In the Qin Dynasty, the status of merchants was very low, no different from that of apprentices. They were all given priority to conscript labor. These people were hated by the public, and the imperial court had a lot of control over commercial activities, and the tax was extremely high. Unless they were big merchants, they would not Just barely making ends meet.

City registration is the lowest class in normal household registration.

Thinking of these three options, Qin Luoheng also scratched his head.

I really can't choose.

He feels that these three household registrations are all points of no return. Either they are squeezed to death by the court, or they are conscripted into the army to fight against the Huns and Baiyue, drinking blood on the battlefield, or they become the pioneers of labor, and they become the ones who build the Great Wall and build straight roads. main force.

Neither one is kept alive.

"I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times."

"The ancients were sincere and never deceived me."

"In peaceful times, although life may be unsatisfactory, there is always a way to survive. In troubled times, human life is really worthless. If you are not careful, you will become dead bones in the grave."

"Sometimes hindsight is not necessarily a blessing."

Qin Luoheng sighed lightly.

He knows why he is so anxious, mainly because he knows the progress of history, and he is also very clear about the direction of the future. It is precisely based on his knowledge of the future that he is so difficult in the choice of household registration, so difficult to decide.

He doesn't want to be a grain of sand of the times.

I don't want to be a victim of the rolling wheels of history.

He wants to live.

Live in peace and health.

He sat in the room, pondered for a long time, and gritted his teeth: "It's better to go to the battlefield to die."

"Besides, I am also a household registration in Guanzhong, and the household registration book is still very hard."

"It's a big deal that the troubled times are coming. Continue to find a place to hide in the deep mountains and wild forests. As long as we hide from the troubled times, what I have learned all over my body will be useful."

"I'm going to plow the land!"

"Although ordinary household registration has to face heavy corvee taxes, it is better than the other two. Service registration and city registration will be the primary targets of recruitment by the imperial court before the world is completely chaotic."

"Although arable land is bitter, it is still a little later in the list, leaving me more time to react and choose."

"It's decided, cultivate the land!!!"

Qin Luoheng gritted his teeth and confirmed his household registration.

He knew that it was definitely not a wise choice to choose to cultivate land at this time, and it was not even a wise choice to cultivate land in all dynasties, but he had no other choice.

This is Da Qin!

An empire that rose from farming warfare.

In this country, there are only two ways to survive.

Either plow the land or fight a war.

He doesn't know how to fight, and he has never been on a battlefield, so he actually has no choice, he can only and will only choose to cultivate the land.

"Zhuangzi said: 'If you do nothing, you will use the world and have more than enough; if you do something, you will use it for the world and not enough.'"

"I already have an understanding of the direction of the future. It was supposed to let me go smoothly in the future, but now it makes me tired. After ten years of cultivation, I still fell behind."

Qin Luoheng sighed softly, and regained his composure. He continued to pick up the bamboo slips and read them carefully.
