Chongzhen Chat Group

For example, if all connections between the world in the future are through this chat group system, they will all be monitored by the court, to be more precise, by the emperor.

This is actually being done now. It is just a monitoring main chat group. Their words and deeds will be sorted out by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and then submitted to Queen Zhou for comparison and screening, and finally submitted to the imperial censor in the form of memorials.

Monitoring will definitely be necessary in the future, but there is a high probability that this will also be the responsibility of the factory guard, who is directly under the emperor. The outer court has no power, so the owner of this chat group system is the emperor himself!

However, correspondingly, there will also be problems. After Wen Tiren thought deeply, he thought of a question and couldn't help but remind Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, if the world's roads are well built and there is such long-distance instant communication, it will be terrible that the people of Ming Dynasty will stay away from their hometown and travel around the world. In this way, , population flow will be difficult to control!”

Upon hearing this, other people in the Wenhua Palace group calmed down from their excitement. For the first assistant, this problem is indeed a difficult problem to deal with. This has been the same throughout the ages.

It is precisely for this reason that when the Ming Dynasty was founded, Taizu did not want the people of the world to wander around. Therefore, the road guide system was formulated: all people who are hundreds of miles away from their residence need to be issued by the local government with an official document similar to a letter of introduction or a pass, called "road guide". If there is no "road guide" or if it is inconsistent with it, he will be punished according to the law.

Although more than two hundred years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the road guide system had actually existed in name only, it still existed.

The reason for this is understandable. At that time, if a person left his hometown, his tax service would be a problem. For the imperial court, it is best if the population does not move, which is the most convenient way to manage.

After arriving in Wanli, tax evasion became the norm. Officials and gentry took the lead, and merchants became active, with officials behind them. Therefore, this Luyin system naturally became impractical because it restricted them.

However, now that it is the highest-level official meeting of the Ming Dynasty, this matter still needs to be seriously considered.

After Wen Tiren finished speaking, a stakeholder, Bi Ziyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also followed suit and said: "Your Majesty, this is really a dilemma! Building roads is good for the economy, but it is not good for people's mobility, but it is not good for taxation and other national policies of the court. So How to deal with it?"

Having been with Emperor Chongzhen for a long time, he came up with the word economy casually. It must be said that Emperor Chongzhen was subtly influencing his ministers.

After hearing this, the other ministers were all in a dilemma. This seemed to be a dilemma. If they really had to choose, they might rather choose to let the people stay at home. Because the first is taxation, the second is labor, and the third is other population management strategies. If the people move, these will become a long-standing problem, which is extremely detrimental to the government's management.

But judging from the current trend, the emperor is obviously determined to develop the domestic economy and improve the living standards of the people of Ming Dynasty. So how to solve this contradictory problem?

These most senior officials of the Ming Dynasty were all well-educated and extremely intelligent, but after thinking for a long time, they just couldn't think of a good solution.

In desperation, they all fell silent, looking at the chat group, waiting for the emperor to speak, looking at the emperor, would there be a good solution?

Although they actually knew in their hearts that this should be unsolvable, the emperor's intelligence was beyond the reach of ordinary people, or was it?

This time, their guess was not wrong, Emperor Chongzhen really had a solution. He had already thought about this question raised by Wen Tiren. However, this was also the reason why he secretly sighed before that even though he had more than 10 million achievement points, it was still not enough!

After the chat group quieted down, Emperor Chongzhen guessed that there was nothing they could do, so he said: "It doesn't matter, I have considered this matter and can solve it properly!"

Upon seeing this, the group immediately exploded. They didn't expect that the emperor really had a solution. To them, this was almost a relationship between a spear and a shield. There was no solution!

So, they forgot the silence for a moment and started asking questions.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what can be done to solve this problem?"

"Your Majesty, I respectfully listen to the holy message!"

"..."

The Wenhua Palace group, at this moment, just like the main chat group, was blocked! This shows how much shock Emperor Chongzhen said to them!

They did not expect that Emperor Chongzhen once again made a shocking statement: "My method can also solve the problem of hidden houses in the Ming Dynasty."

Hiding one's household means escaping from one's household. It has existed throughout the ages. Some people often fled their native places in order to avoid rent, taxes, and corvee labor. After escaping from one's native place, one does not have to perform corvee service and one's name is not included in the household register. Or they can't find it in the mountains and wild forests where the government can't find it, or they can take shelter in a wealthy family, etc.

This problem has always been a long-standing problem and a headache for all dynasties. Until now, there has been no good solution. To a certain extent, the road guide system is actually a method to restrict hidden households, but it has little effect.

At this time, the most senior officials of the Ming Dynasty in the Wenhua Palace complex exploded again when they saw the emperor's words. How can this be?

If it hadn't been for the emperor who said this, someone would probably start blaming it regardless of his or her status. Why don't you make a draft even if you are bragging? You're talking about the issue of privacy. Are you sure you're right?

However, these words were clearly said by Emperor Chongzhen. Therefore, although ten thousand of these ministers did not believe it, they were not rude to the emperor after all!

Firstly, because the emperor's prestige was already very high, and secondly, because the emperor had done many things that shocked them very much.

"Your Majesty, please make it clear!" Chief Minister Wen Tiren, on behalf of the ministers, asked what they felt.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled in his heart when he saw it, he still had to have high technology. In later generations, this matter was slowly solved after the use of ID card information and the development of the Internet. However, I have a chat group system that is even more advanced than the Internet!

With this in mind, he said to the ministers in the group: "I have decided to write a number for my people, which is unique in the country. They can be sorted according to province, date of birth, gender, serial number, etc..."

He told these senior officials of the Ming Dynasty how to write ID numbers for later generations. In this way, no matter how large the population is, everyone can be unique. And from this number, you can see some information.

Of course, it has to be adapted to local conditions and slightly modified. For example, for people in this era, the lunar calendar is still used, and the birth dates are also secret. These will cause problems. If the year, month and day do not work, then the three years of Chongzhen and the fifth year of Apocalypse can be used instead of grouping. Anyway, the purpose is still the same as that of later generations of ID numbers. One is to ensure uniqueness, and the second is to read some simple information from the ID number.

When Wen Tiren saw this, he said with some confusion: "Your Majesty, how can we solve the problem of population mobility management and the problem of hidden households?"

Although this kind of ID number is given, what happens if someone misreports a number?

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen knew that they still didn't know enough about the chat group, so he replied: "I haven't finished speaking yet! Don't forget, gentlemen, the chat group system also has a camera function for everyone. A person takes a photo and then stores it together with his identity information and other information. In this way, no matter where he goes, I have people in the chat group to check the identity information. Just compare it with the information stored in the chat group , you can know everything about him.”

Having said this, he sent another folder path to the group and told them the password to enter. Here he has an example created.

In the folder, there are also sub-folders one by one, and each folder is stored according to the province. If you click again, there will be lower-level directories, all the way to the prefecture, county, and township levels. After reaching the innermost folder, I saw documents one after another. The titles of the documents were the ID number that Emperor Chongzhen just mentioned. This will actually help the verification personnel to search for the corresponding document using the ID number.

After clicking on the document, there will be a photo of the person corresponding to the ID number, followed by an introduction. For example, name, gender, where you live, tax payment status, study status, etc.

These Ming officials discovered that the example created by the emperor was actually their chief minister Wen Tiren.

Emperor Chongzhen showed them examples and explained to them how the operators could quickly verify it at that time, and then said: "I will also arrange people in the chat group across the country to be the ones to verify identity information. In this way, No matter where the people of the Ming Dynasty go, local officials can verify the information for them. Even if he wants to deceive and conceal it, he cannot achieve his goal. As long as such a file is compiled for everyone in the Ming Dynasty, it will be solved for you. What are the management problems of people’s mobility and the problem of hidden households?”

This operation simply refreshed the understanding of these senior Ming officials. Before this, they really didn't expect that such a long-standing and difficult problem could be easily solved by the emperor with the help of the chat group. For a moment, no matter who they were, whether it was the chief assistant or the technological master Xu Guangqi, they were all stunned.

But Emperor Chongzhen was not done yet, and said to them again: "I will also set this file to modification mode. In this way, when the operator checks the registration information, he can clearly see who this person's information is from. It was modified, and what was before the modification and what was after the modification, all operations are clear at a glance. Then, I will ask another person to verify the information to ensure possible favoritism in terms of identity information."

While saying this, Emperor Chongzhen clicked on Wen Tiren's file and made modifications at will. Because the current mode is the modification mode, naturally what he just said was left.

No one in the Wenhua Palace group spoke, and everyone was stunned. It was beyond their imagination to be able to solve the problem of people's mobility and the problem of hidden households. But they did not expect that it could also prevent favoritism and fraud. Such a The knowledge refreshed their knowledge again, and they were speechless for a long time.

There is only one thought in their hearts. This chat group is so awesome! The emperor’s idea is so amazing!

Just like before, Cao Huachun, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, was the first to express his emotion and flattered Emperor Chongzhen.

He broke the silence in the Wenhua Palace group, and others came to their senses and joined in. At this time, no one said in their hearts that Cao Huachun was flattering.

"Your Majesty, this is such a miraculous move that even I can't believe it!"

"Your Majesty, this is great!"

"..."

Watching them refresh the screen, Emperor Chongzhen sighed in his heart: "My dear friends, there is a difficulty in using this method, that is, taking photos requires achievement points. For now, I think I can write this for adult men of the Ming Dynasty first. Create a file. When the achievement points are sufficient, then write files for other people, including women, children, children and the elderly!"

No one in this era has an opinion on this. The objects of their management were originally mainly adult men. For women, they generally stay at home and don't see many outsiders. When a woman travels, she must be accompanied by a man's family.

"Your Majesty, if such a file is compiled for all adult men in the Ming Dynasty, everyone will think that this matter is already a big deal!" Wen Tiren answered, feeling depressed at the same time. Since this is your idea, why do you treat me like this? Example?

"Your Majesty, that's enough, that's enough!" Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Household Affairs, also happily replied immediately. All adult men compiled files to solve the problems of hiding households and the mobility of people, for example, it could bring huge tax revenue to the court. Because this identity information also includes tax payment and other information, it will be difficult to evade taxes.

…

Other ministers also agreed and said there was no problem.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he said: "In addition, this matter can also be used for transportation charges. For example, if someone goes on a cement road and gets on a train, he can register the corresponding information, and when he arrives at the corresponding destination, he will be charged. Once the toll information is completed, you won’t have to worry about someone evading fares midway and evading tolls!”

This is actually equivalent to the train ticket collectors and highway toll collectors of later generations, and the chat group is even more advanced than later generations, and there is no way to evade fares.

Liu Mao reacted immediately and was overjoyed. The other ministers were still thinking about the emperor's words because they had not thought about it before.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen continued to expand his use and said: "Moreover, it will become easier to collect taxes from merchants in other places. The amount of goods at a time is recorded, and whether taxes are paid is also recorded."

After thinking about one scene, these courtiers began to imagine the next scene. At this time, such a fresh method made these courtiers feel that their brains were not enough.

When they figured out all the uses mentioned by the emperor, they were all surprised and speechless. These things were impossible to solve before, but now that the emperor is here, they have become very easy!

This is so simple!
