Compete for the Song Dynasty

Chapter 340 Clarifying the Household Registration System

Gao Zhisheng was skeptical about Wang Pang's words, but what surprised him most was what Wang Pang said next.

"Brother Gao, you can decide for yourself whether you believe me or not! But there is one more thing, Wang Ye is not my younger brother, he is Zhao Xu, the prince of Song Dynasty."

Gao Zhisheng opened his eyes wide at first, and then asked: "My dear brother, you, you must be making too much of a joke."

"This is not a joke, but I don't need to hide this matter from you, Brother Gao, so you don't have to worry about lying to your Majesty Dali, Brother Gao."

Gao Zhisheng was still full of hesitation: "But, why did you tell me the truth?"

Wang Pang looked at Gao Zhisheng with a sincere face: "Brother Gao, you have a city in your heart and great ambitions. I sincerely have friendship with you, so there is no need to hide this matter from you. It is also because of the situation at that time that he is fake. I think Brother Gao, you can understand."

"Hahaha, thank you Brother Xian for not treating me like that Yang Yizhen!"

"How dare you! Didn't you say it just now, if it's true that Yang Yizhen agrees to go with me, then I have to ask Brother Gao to follow the plan for some things on the way!"

"Scheme? Could it be that my virtuous brother has some clever plan?" Gao Zhisheng looked at Wang with more expectation in his eyes.

"The story is over, you need to know what will happen next, and let's listen to the next chapter to break it down!" Wang Pang knocked on the table with his fan, and looked at the helpless Gao Zhisheng with a smile.

The seemingly relaxed Wang Pang accompanied Gao Zhisheng out of the study room, talking and laughing all the way until Huayuan and the two went back to rest separately.The seemingly relaxed Wang Pang returned to the inner house after breaking up with Gao Zhisheng, only then did he feel a slight breath.There are too many things on my mind in the past two days, and it is still a problem of confusion. Zhao Xu's safety is one of them, and there are two hidden dangers that follow Zhao Xu without good ideas.

Seeing that Wang Pang was a little tired, Su Xiaomei waited for him to sit down, and lightly patted Wang Pang's shoulder with her little hand: "My husband is tired from recent work, it is better to go to bed earlier."

Wang Pang was really tired, he pinched Su Xiaomei's tender little hand: "Yes, there are too many things to deal with, and everything has to be started from the beginning, I don't have time to accompany you, I have wronged my lady."

Su Xiaomei pouted and said in a playful voice: "My family already knew this, husband, do you still remember what you promised me?"

"Shu Brocade Academy? You see, there are so many things to do now, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of them for a while!"

Su Xiaomei turned to Wang Pang, who held her waist and let her sit on his lap.Su Xiaomei shyly said: "Husband will go out again in a few days, I want to go with you."

"No!" Wang Pang said without thinking.

Su Xiaomei pouted, Wang Pang kissed her on the cheek and said: "Be obedient, this trip is a bit troublesome, so I can't take you with me." Seeing Xiaomei's pink neck drooping, there was a look of grievance on her face. "What? Are you really worried that I will marry the younger sister of Dali?" Wang Pang asked tentatively. Seeing that the younger sister didn't answer, he knew how much he guessed right.Wang Pang made fun of Gao Zhisheng and laughed with everyone, but he couldn't bear to tease the younger sister any more. He whispered in her ear: "This time, someone wants to assassinate the prince on the way, with the intention of blaming Dali. You must not tell others about this. rise!"

"Ah!" Su Xiaomei was startled, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, and asked softly, "Who is so bold?"

"If I have a clue, I can discuss this matter with Mr. Hou and the others, but Mr. Hou may not know the person behind it. You are my wife, and I told you that I was afraid that you would think too much. The girl Duan Su from Dali is Gao Brother, do you think I will marry her back?"

"But... will my husband be in danger if I go here, I'm so worried." The little girl frowned as she said.

"Don't worry, I will find a way, and the target this time is not me, so you don't have to worry. It's just that I'm worried that you will talk at home."

Su Xiaomei lowered her head and thought about it, then suddenly raised her head and said: "Husband, I want to go back to Meizhou and recruit some craftsmen who are skilled in Shu brocade. I heard that Shu brocade is sold very well in the market, especially foreigners buy a lot, but the mountain road is so long. There will be a lot of tolls on the way to transport here, so it is better to get people here, and it will be easier for me to employ people after the establishment of Shu Brocade Academy."

"Okay! But I'm afraid that if your Shu Brocade Court opens, people will say that this is the business of the princess, competing for profits with the traders. When I see it, people will say that the king of Zhennan has a princess who can do business..." [

Before Wang Pang finished speaking, the little girl giggled: "You think a lot, I don't know if you are praising me."

"Of course, my wife is capable of writing and martial arts, can do business and warm the bed..."

"Hey, he's talking to you about business..."

"Okay, I promise you, you go, I will send someone to escort you there, when you come back, you go back to the capital first, and wait for me in the capital."

"Husband is going back to the capital?" Su Xiaomei was very surprised, she had never heard Wang Pang mention this before.

"what happened?"

"We Song Dynasty officials can't leave the place where we are stationed without permission. Why did the prince come back to the capital after he came to Yongzhou?"

"Escorting the prince is justified." After Wang Pang finished speaking, he didn't want to say any more. He blew out the candlelight on the table and picked up the little girl. laugh.

Early the next morning, Nan Jifeng, who was ordered to return to Yongzhou, came to the palace early in the morning. All the officials were waiting for the king in the conference hall. Seeing Nan Jifeng walking in to greet everyone, the prefect Feng Shen asked in return: " General Nan is back so soon."

"My lord has a life. I heard that something happened in Yongzhou City. Where is your lord?" Nan Jifeng asked while seeing that Wang Pang was not present while answering.

Speaking of Yongzhou's affairs, the magistrate's expression darkened slightly. In the past two days, everyone has been worrying about Yang Yizhen's problem. Now that there are so many people coming and going in Yongzhou, if foreign rebels sneak in, things will be serious.But these people couldn't come up with a good solution after several discussions. "The general is responsible for law and order. Now that the Dali rebels are in Yongzhou, I'm afraid the prince is looking for you for this. We were reprimanded a lot yesterday, so you should hurry up and figure out how to respond." Feng Shensu knew next to the king. He has some friendship with Nan Jifeng, and reminded him like a human favor.

"Thank you, Prefect Feng, for reminding me." After Nan Jifeng finished speaking, his mind was uncertain, and he sat down in his seat and waited for Wang to come to discuss the matter.

After a short time, the sound of footsteps came from the back of the hall, and Wang Pang entered through the corner door at the back of the hall and took a seat in the middle of the hall.The housekeeper Nan Jifeng arrived, Wang Pang nodded.After the daily affairs were finished, Wang Pang left the prefect and Nan Jifeng to discuss matters, and waited for the others to retreat to the hall to go to their own affairs. Then Wang Pang greeted: "Brother Nan is back just in time, I have something to talk to some of you. Negotiate."

Nan Jifeng said slightly apologetically, "My lord, my subordinate has neglected his duties..."

Wang Pang interrupted him and waved his hand: "No wonder you, now people from all over the country are rushing to Yongzhou. It is inevitable that there will be a lot of chaos. Even if there are no robbers, the population must be regulated. The Dali rebel Yang Yizhen also took advantage of the chaos. Or there is a lack of governance in our city.”

Feng Shen and Tao Ren looked at each other, secretly glad that they didn't blame Nan Jifeng just now, and Nan Jifeng himself was even more touched, knowing that even though Wang Pang said so, he still couldn't escape the responsibility, so he hurriedly said: "This subordinate has neglected his duty, Willing to be punished!"

"Hey! What's the use of punishing you? Our top priority is to quickly find a solution and make up for it. Feng Zhifu, Tao Tongpan, do you have any ideas on how to deal with it?" Wang Pang turned around and looked at Feng Shen and Tao Ren.

"This subordinate is dereliction of duty, and I haven't thought of a good plan for a while." The two quickly lowered their heads and replied respectfully.

Wang Pang nodded: "It's no wonder you guys, Yongzhou hasn't had as many people in all these years, and it's not as chaotic as it is now. It's hard for the two of you."

"Thank you, my lord, for your understanding!" The two hurriedly replied in unison.Although the two of them didn't speak just now, they inevitably felt that Wang Pang was partial to Nan Jifeng, but seeing what Wang Pang said, they treated him equally.

"Forget it. According to their age and experience, both of you are elders. My lord also has to rely on your support. Don't be too polite. Take your seat quickly. I have something important to discuss with you."

The three hurriedly thanked the king for taking a seat, and looked at the king together.Wang Pang said: "The household registration system established by our court is too cumbersome. There are both tenants and farm households, and there are other upper, middle and lower households. Since we are all starting from scratch, I think we might as well take this opportunity to change the household registration system. It also changes." [

"This, how did this change?" Tao Ren couldn't help asking.

"There are only two types, permanent and temporary. In addition, the state government prints household registers. In addition to being enthroned by the government, each household must also have a household registration book in the hands of the people. I have already designed the style!" Wang Pang said, taking out the painting and finishing it. The style of the account book.We must know that before the ID card was issued, the household registration book in Wang Pang's era was the most important authentication tool for identity.

"What's the use of this?" Everyone was full of suspicion.

Wang Pang patiently explained: "People in Yongzhou are permanent household registration, indicating the head of the household, the relationship between other members and the head of the household, the time when each person ascended the throne, the age, identity, and address of each person at that time. The welfare subsidies that come will be implemented according to the household registration. And whether it is permanent or temporary, if there is a loan and entry and exit in Yongzhou, it is based on the household registration."

"Those who come to Yongzhou temporarily must register with the government for temporary household registration. Those who come from foreign countries will have a certificate issued by the Maritime Bureau. People from the Song Dynasty who come from all over the country should be in Yongzhou clubs in corresponding places, such as merchants. Issuing certificates, those who come to take an exam to work must have some certificates. As for the local certificates or income introducers before he came, you can formulate the specific rules. Foreigners must temporarily rent a residence or live in a shop in Yongzhou account only."

Wang Pang slowed down his speech as much as possible, several people listened carefully, and finally Wang Pang asked: "I don't know what I mean, do you understand?"

Nan Jifeng was the first to react and said: "My lord, you are strengthening the control over outsiders. Like the foreign rebels, they can't get a temporary household without a certificate, so they can't rent a house and live in a shop. Naturally, they can't stay here." In Yongzhou!"

"Well! This is just the first step." Wang Pang said slowly. Of course, these Song people would not understand that clear household registration management is crucial for the local government's investment in construction, timely grasp of tax collection, and implementation of management laws. What a deep meaning.What's more, the so-called household of one person with three or four identities in the Northern Song Dynasty is really a headache.
