Chapter 1248
Uncle Liang's solemnity was serious, and the matter was of great importance. No matter what, Liu Wa and others couldn't ignore it.

On the second day, Liu Wa went to the county seat in person, and what he saw and heard naturally overturned his previous impression.If life can be easy, who would like to hide in the mountains and forests as a hermit?

Among other things, it is impossible to solve all the necessities of life and see a doctor in the deep mountains and old forests.They were not fools either, so they naturally knew that Liang villagers had made a lot of money in the process of exchanging with them.

Therefore, when Liu Wa took what he saw and heard to the deep mountains and old forests, there was no accident, and they decided to go to the government to register.

Examples like this happened all over Daming.

Some of the hidden households hiding in the deep mountains and old forests learned the outside news in time, and most of them chose to register with the government, and only a very small number were still stubborn.There are also hermits who don't know the news from the outside world, and then they are reported by people who know them, and the local army is dispatched to solve the problem.

Fortunately, when the Emperor Chongzhen made the decree, he mentioned that the army assists in the investigation of hidden households, so that the credit for catching them alive is the greatest and the assessment is the best.Therefore, the local army generally surrounded and captured hermits alive, and would only use knives and guns unless they encountered strong resistance.

Before the army was dispatched, when it was time for hidden households to pay for registration, Emperor Chongzhen used chat groups to grasp the dynamics of all parts of the country.He found that the national statistics of the population seemed to exceed expectations.

This is of course a good thing!Different from the original history, there were no military disasters in Ming Dynasty at this time. Although it was still the Little Ice Age, high-yield crops had been promoted for four or five years, and the varieties had been improved a lot. supplement.In addition, Nanyang was controlled by Da Ming, and grain flowed into Da Ming continuously, and countless people flocked to Nanyang.This entry and exit greatly reduced the food pressure of Daming. Basically, it can be said that there was no man-made disaster, and the government responded properly. Little Binghe is nothing!

At this time, the number of people in the chat group alone has reached more than 5000.However, Emperor Chongzhen still felt that there were too few members in the chat group.In addition to factory guards, there are quite a few members of the national registered population and household registration.

From the government to the county and township level, at this level, members of the chat group must register for population and household registration.And there can't be only one person in a place, there must be checks and balances.This is common sense for people of later generations, and it is naturally impossible for Emperor Chongzhen to make such a low-level mistake.

This is just the most basic. In addition, in this world, there are differences between men and women. If possible, a place must have two registration personnel, one male and one female, who are responsible for registering the local male and female population respectively.

In order to satisfy the most basic registration staff, as long as the members of the chat group, after the most basic assessment and evaluation, can be recruited as registration staff, Emperor Chongzhen will transfer them.But even so, there are none in some places, and they have to be sent from other places.

If it weren't for the presence of such heaven-defying artifacts in the chat group, it would take only three or four years to complete the registration of the national population, and it would be impossible.But even with the artifact of the chat group, it has been almost a year now, and it still hasn't been completed.The main reason is that there are relatively few members available in the chat group.

For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen began to add people again, adding a hundred in one breath.

Fortunately, the main chat area of ​​the chat group will not be automatically refreshed, that is to say, if you want to see the chat history, you can scroll up for as long as you want, if no one talks, just refresh all at once, and then you have to go up again Flip that.The newly added chat history can only be seen after being pulled back, and it will be automatically updated when it is restored to the state that has not been pulled up.

The current Emperor Chongzhen will no longer go to ask the basic situation of the new members one by one. There are special factory guards who are responsible for inquiring and recording the basic situation of the new members.The two of them are responsible for verification, and then send the personnel information directly to Emperor Chongzhen for review.Among them, Wang Chengen and Liu Xingzuo will indicate who can be used. If Emperor Chongzhen thinks there is no problem, he can be absorbed as a factory guard or become a person in other positions.

I forgot to mention that Dongchang and Jinyiwei take turns to do this job.

Of course, during this process, as long as Emperor Chongzhen is interested, he can check it at any time.Because he has the right to see the private chats of all chat group members.There is no other reason, because he is the leader of the group!

No, after adding people, Emperor Chongzhen was a little bored, so he clicked on a few private chats at will.In these private chats, it was the captain's turn to ask about the situation of the newcomers.One of the private chats caught his attention immediately.

This newcomer is called Li Dongyang. He seemed a little nervous. He was asking the captain of Jinyiwei who was chatting privately with him: "Excuse me, is this... is this a registered household registration? I... I didn't want to register on purpose, our master didn't." I don’t know how much I have to pay for those who are asked to register?”

Right now, it's time to pay for the hidden account registration.Obviously, this person named Li Dongyang didn't go to register, he was still a hidden householder, he was suddenly selected in the chat group, and some people asked about the basic situation, so he was a little confused.

Captain Jin Yiwei was not in charge of registering hidden households, so he ignored the question, and continued to ask about Li Dongyang's basic information despite his scope of duties.Emperor Chongzhen saw that this man named Li Dongyang was from the family of Yingtianfu, and he was a servant of the family of Zuo Shilang, the official department of Yingtianfu.

Seeing this information, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but frown.

Since the registration of hermits, they were all hermits in various cities at the beginning, and those who left their original places and escaped from the government's control began to register one after another.Because all over the country registered hermit households together, those who escaped from their nationality knew that they could not escape, so basically they all registered.It can be said that these people were the main force in the initial registration of hermits.So much so that Emperor Chongzhen thought that the hidden households in the city were basically registered in the same place.

In the second stage, the main registered hidden households are those who fled to the deep mountains and old forests.In the heart of Emperor Chongzhen, those who should be registered should be almost the same.But when he looked at it at this moment, he suddenly came back to his senses, as if he had forgotten about the slave of the noble family.Among these people, it is estimated that there are many hidden households like Li Dongyang.

Thinking of this, he chatted with Li Dongyang in private: "How many recluses like you are there in the Li family?"

When Li Dongyang saw the person who sent the private chat, he recognized it as the owner of the chat group.I don't know what the background is in reality, and for a while, I dare not answer and fell silent.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he continued: "We chat privately, and no one will see it. To be honest, it is good for you. If you don't talk about this kind of thing, I have other ways to ask. I believe this It shouldn't be a secret!"

When Li Dongyang saw this private chat, he thought about it for a while, and finally replied: "If we go back to the group leader, we are all the children of Li's family, and we usually don't go to the government to report and register. Unless one day in the future, the master can let us If you go out to form your own family, or if you have a meritorious job, you may register with the government depending on the situation. As far as our Li family is concerned, there are five people who have not registered with the government!"

Obviously, since he decided to answer, he said a lot in one breath, in great detail.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, his heart was as expected.Then, he asked further: "Situations like Li's House should be very common, right?"

"Of course, this is the case in many houses. Generally, no one will register with the official when they have children." Li Dongyang, as a servant of an official's family, naturally has more knowledge than ordinary people, so he continued to introduce, " Under normal circumstances, there will be more wealthy families; more land with long-standing families; more dignitaries in the court, and more relatives of the emperor."

Seeing these words, Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, nodded, and understood the reason for this.

After he was silent for a moment, he said to Li Dongyang: "As I said, it is beneficial for you to tell the truth. From now on, you will serve as a secret agent in Dongchang, and be under the direct control of the admiral of Dongchang. Would you like it?"

There are rumors in later generations that the private conversations between Ming officials and their wives in bed can be known by the emperor the next day.There is a high probability that there is a factory guard spy in the official's mansion, who reported it after listening to the root of the wall.

Whether to become a servant or become a member of the factory guard's secret agents, for many people, the choice can be made without thinking.The previous emperors had such a layout, and Emperor Chongzhen had this chat group, so the layout is even easier.

After Li Dongyang heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, he was stunned.Because this is a text display, there is only one person in the world who can use the word "朕".It was hard for him to believe that the person he was chatting with just now could be the wise and mighty emperor of Ming Dynasty?
Those who have never seen the world may be stunned, questioned and so on.But for Li Dongyang, he could figure out how to respond immediately.Therefore, he was only silent for a while, and then quickly agreed.Anyway, even if this matter is fake, he still has a lot of root hairs. If it is true, it would be great!
Emperor Chongzhen ignored Li Dongyang, but thought about the situation of the two men under him.

Wang Cheng'en, the admiral of the East Factory, has always lived in the palace, so there should be no family members who have children, and no hidden households who raise them privately.

Liu Xingzuo, the commander of Jinyiwei, came to Beijing alone in his early years, and he was not from a wealthy family.When I was single, I was basically in the official office all day.Later, after he ordered Lu Xiangsheng to save his family, he had his own mansion.In the past few years, there must have been servants, but it should be very unlikely for the family to have children, and the probability of having a hidden household should be small.Even if there are, not many.

On the side of the Beijing camp, they are all the original new army, soldiers who made great contributions to the pacification of Liaodong.They are all new to the capital not long ago, and most of their original family backgrounds are also poor, and there will be no hidden households in these people's homes.Of course, if it takes ten or so years, it's hard to say.

That is to say, there is no problem with these manpower.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen chatted privately with Wang Chengen and Liu Xingzuo in the chat group, and asked them directly if they had hidden households?
"Your Majesty, I have always lived in the palace, even if I have the guts to do so, I would not dare to raise a private household in the palace!" Wang Chengen answered the fastest, without any hesitation.

Liu Xingzuo was a little slower: "Your Majesty, two of the servants in the last general's mansion were born only about a year ago, and they haven't registered with the government yet. I don't know if they are considered hermits?"

In this era, the premature death rate of young children is still very high. In the original history, Emperor Chongzhen himself died quite a few young children.On this plane, for some unknown reason, his hit rate is very low, but as long as he is hit and born, he doesn't seem to have died.

In the previous intention to require registration, it was based on the age at which children could attend children's schools.In other words, prior to this, there was actually no requirement to register.

Regarding this, after the Emperor Chongzhen knew it well, he replied to Wang Cheng'en: "Wang Daban, you should investigate secretly and see who the palace people are in the mansion outside, who has how many hidden households, I want to know clearly, do you understand? Remember, don't let anyone know about this!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, servants must be careful!" Wang Chengen immediately agreed when he saw it.

He knew in his heart that the emperor repeatedly emphasized that it meant that no one could know, not even his godfather.

The emperor made such a decree, but Wang Chengen actually did not dare to disobey it.Because he didn't know who else was in the chat group in the palace, who was the emperor's direct eyeliner.If you dare to sneak around behind the emperor's back, you don't know when the emperor will know.It's not worth the risk.

Of course, there is another reason. The emperor said that, combined with the recent work of the imperial court to register hidden households, he knew that this matter was actually his opportunity.It is impossible for him to continue in the position of admiral of the East Factory forever, and no emperor would allow this.But other good positions are owned by owners, which creates a conflict of interest.

After the Emperor Chongzhen had given Wang Cheng'en instructions, he ordered Liu Xingzuo again: "According to the hidden household requirements promulgated by the previous imperial court, let me count the princes and nobles in the capital, the civil and military officials, and those wealthy merchants. In their mansions, How many hidden households have not registered? Remember, this matter must be done quickly and secretly, you know?"

Liu Xingzuo's task is obviously much heavier than Wang Cheng'en's task of only checking the people in the palace.But Liu Xingzuo did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed.If there are difficulties, just go back and overcome them.

Sure enough, Wang Chengen completed the task first.Three days later, a list was sent to Emperor Chongzhen through the most secret chat group contact information.

After Emperor Chongzhen confirmed the list through other channels, he looked at it with confidence.

This list is sorted according to the number of hidden households.Emperor Chongzhen only looked at the beginning, and secretly said in his heart, it really is so!
