The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"How many people are on the roster?" Liu Tao immediately paid attention.

"According to the statistics six years ago, there are 5234 people in Yunzhong County. However, there are at least [-] people living in Yunzhong County. There are thousands of people without household registration." Jian Yonghui reported.

"Isn't it the servants of a certain family?" Liu Tao teased, after all, there are also sayings in later generations, "There were only 5000 people in the late Han Dynasty, but counting the servants of various families, there were more than [-] million people."

"It's worse, they're all barbarians!" Jian Yong shook his head, "My subordinates spent an hour visiting and found that many people living around Yunzhong County are mostly barbarians who moved here, or They are descendants of the Hu people."

"Will Zhao Kong sit back and watch these barbarians move here?" Liu Tao frowned slightly.

According to this statement, Yunzhong County, no no, I am afraid that all the counties in Yunzhong have been occupied by these barbarians?For allowing this kind of thing to happen, but not reporting it, all officials, big and small, in Yunzhong County should be damned!

"The situation isn't that bad..." Seeing Liu Tao's uneasy expression, Jian Yong quickly explained, "Most of these barbarians are interested in the big man, so they moved to the big man's side, and they plan to settle in Yunzhong and become Han people. "

Liu Tao was stunned when he heard this. According to Han law, at least three generations must live here and pay taxes before they can be regarded as Han citizens.According to this concept, these barbarians should theoretically be naturalized barbarians.

It's just that I haven't obtained the household registration yet, so it's not on the household registration book... However, it's still hard to let go of thinking this way.

Three or two hundred, one or two thousand is fine!The number of these naturalized Hu people surpassed the local Han people, and the results have not been reported yet.Even Liu Tao wondered where and to whom the taxes for the naturalized barbarians were paid!

"My subordinates guess that the taxes of these barbarians will eventually fall into the hands of the previous captain of Yunzhong." Seeing that Liu Tao began to think, Jian Yong added a sentence.

Otherwise, others would risk being invaded by the barbarians and die in battle, and come here to serve as the captain, why?After all, it is the taxes of these hidden households!If you insist on counting, corvée actually counts!

"Wait a minute, according to this statement, after three generations, shouldn't one be naturalized?" Liu Tao thought for a while, and calculated that it would take only thirty years at the earliest.Starting from the third generation, one can be Han Chinese.

"The problem here is Yunzhong..." Lu Yan seemed to have guessed the crux of the matter, "From time to time there will be barbarians going south, and maybe there will be some of these naturalized barbarians who will be robbed by them, and then they will also go to the south." There are also some people who moved south to live here, and the number of three generations, estimated to be four to fifty years, has not been able to achieve it."

In the final analysis, it was the environment here that caused these naturalized barbarians to be unable to become naturalized in the end.

"There is another problem, that is, the naturalized Hu people who have not been naturalized, their taxes and corvee are higher than those of the Han people." Jian Yong said helplessly.

The first and second generations may be desperately trying to obtain household registration, but it is hard to say for the third generation that they will not be able to bear this gap. At this time, when the barbarians go south, it is easy to arouse their sense of resistance, and then join Hu people's army.

Over time, Bu Dugen also discovered this problem, so he was not busy invading Yunzhong County.After all, a group of young people can be recruited to join the army on a regular basis, which is a good source of troops.

Budugen recruited these young people, mainly to fight with the other two.Since the main force is not to attack Yunzhong County, the captains and county magistrates here are not under too much pressure.

In addition, on a regular basis, a group of Hu people will move here, and then they can earn two generations of taxes and corvee... Over time, the local government in Yunzhong County and Budu Genbu have formed a tacit understanding.

"Not a son of man..." Liu Tao was a little indignant, "For the sake of selfish desires, he raised tigers openly and aboveboard. If one day, Budugen unified all the tribes of Xianbei and started to go south, they would all be sinners!"

"However, this problem is what we have to face now." Lu Yan reminded, "Brother, what should we do?"

"What else can I do?" Liu Tao said angrily, "Since there is so much labor, of course we should make good use of it! I thought that the population of Yunzhong County is only 2 people..."

After a pause, he looked at everyone: "What I didn't expect is that things are not as bad as we imagined!"

Chapter 241 The Initial Reform

The Caos did not keep Liu Tao waiting for too long, and reported the results of the statistics one after another in the afternoon of the next day. To be honest, Liu Tao was not sure how much water was in it.

"The number of acres of public land is indeed impressive..." Liu Tao looked at the report, "However, according to the number of acres you reported, each person cultivates [-] acres of land... Do you want me to restore the well field system?"

The well field system in the Spring and Autumn Period was like this. One person cultivated [-] mu of land, and then eight people cultivated [-] pieces of private land, surrounded by [-] mu of public land, which was used to supply the feudal nobles.

To some extent, it can also be seen why the well field system advocated by Confucius has never been restored.

Of course, this also has something to do with the farming mode.In the past, there was a thin harvest from broadcasting and extensive farming, but now it is intensive and intensive farming. The farming model and requirements are different. Before, the common people who could easily take care of a hundred acres of land, now have a maximum of twenty acres or so.

"My lord, in fact..." Gongcao obviously knew that Liu Tao saw the clue, so he couldn't be fooled, so he could only try to explain.In the final analysis, using naturalized barbarians is an important source of finance for the prefect.

"There's no need to explain. I'm very clear about naturalizing barbarians, right?" Liu Tao replied casually.

When interviewing them, I actually considered whether to maintain this model.Everything has two sides, if you keep it as it is, you can get a lot of extra taxes and more corvees every year, and you don't need to report these.

Anyway, the world is going to be in chaos, but the current order has not collapsed, which means that the annual taxes have to be handed over.It is beneficial to him to be able to leave an extra sum as a future reserve.

But the problem is that this thing obviously cannot be eaten alone.Therefore, it is necessary to manage the magistrates of the counties, and it is necessary to manage the governors.In the end, the remaining part is estimated to be less than [-] to [-]%, which is to earn hard money.

After all the calculations, if you find that the harm outweighs the benefit, then you can only attack these naturalized barbarians.

After thinking it over, he said slowly, "I need the roster of the naturalized barbarians in the whole county, as well as the conditions of the fields they cultivated."

At present, there are probably two situations for the naturalized Hu people in Yunzhong County.One is that they have lived here for a long time, so they already have their own land.This part of the land is not recorded in the county, and the taxes collected go into the pocket of the captain.

There are still some lands that do not belong to their own, so they lease the government's public land, or serve as tenants for the local wealthy families.This is also why there is a situation where one person cultivates hundreds of acres of land.

In one hundred acres of land, there are about five or six people farming, and only one has a household registration.

"This... this subordinate is actually ready..." Book Cao hesitated for a moment, and handed over another booklet.

The counties that still exist in Yunzhong County are only five counties, so the data is not that thick... Originally, Liu Tao thought so. After a closer look, it turns out that the three counties of Xianyang, Chengle and Wujin have lost their organizational system, but there are Many naturalized Hu people live there.

Then there is the number of acres of fields in Yunzhong County, which has increased by at least [-]%. There is no record of how much land was acquired?

Adding up the number of these naturalized barbarians and the local population of Yunzhong County, the population here suddenly soared to 4.The number of these naturalized barbarians is almost 5000...

Liu Tao was really feeling that these people really wanted to immigrate to Dahan, otherwise 5000 people would riot, even if there were only [-] young and strong, it would be enough for every county to drink a pot.

In this way, one's own plan can also be carried out!

"My official plan is to use Yunzhong County as a pilot to conduct a test, and then allow Hu people who pass the test to join the Han nationality." Liu Tao looked at the group of Cao Cao and expressed his thoughts.

It is not easy to implement this thing directly and comprehensively. It is necessary to pilot it. The main reason is that it will cause a backlash from the wealthy families in the county.

"It's just...does this conflict with the law?" It seems that Liu Tao has indeed touched the interests of these Cao Cao, so Cao Cao dared to persuade him.

"Those who pass the test will be given Chinese books, and those who fail the test will maintain the status quo and wait for the next test, or wait for three generations." Liu Tao retorted, "The Chinese law stipulates that there are no hidden dangers. The purpose of the test is also the same. addition to the law."

"It's just..." Bo Cao seemed to want to say something, but after being stared at by Liu Tao, he shrank obediently.

"My decision is like this. Remember, I will only try it from Yunzhong County. I will not make random changes in other places, so you can rest assured. I will take care of your interests, but please don't forget that I am the Prefect." Liu Tao looked at the crowd.

Cao Cao is Cao Cao, in the final analysis, he is a petty official without any formal official status, so Liu Tao can be replaced by someone else.They were not replaced immediately, but only the thief Cao and the governor were replaced, because they were more familiar with the affairs of the county.

In addition, most of them come from the rich families in this county, which can be understood as the hope of the family.If they are replaced, then the favorability of these wealthy families towards him will probably drop.

"Yes..." Cao Cao heard the words and knew that Liu Tao had issued an ultimatum, so it was really hard to refute, so they could only accept orders obediently.

So the next day, a large number of cavalry began to leave the city and march towards various villages.At the same time, the thief Cao in the city beat gongs and drums to announce Liu Tao's decision.

"Really? Are you really going to give us Chinese registration as long as you pass the test?" A commoner who was working put down his work and came to the officers and soldiers who were promoting.

This person speaks fluent Chinese, although it is not Mandarin, the appearance is also a standard coarse bunt.If it wasn't for the appearance, there is still a certain difference with the Han people, I'm afraid I really don't know, this is a naturalized barbarian.

"This is the document officially released by the prefect. Is it fake? But the prefect also said that the test can only be carried out on those who live in Yunzhong County. No, we can only wait for the next batch." The clerk replied casually.

"Long live the prefect!" Living in the cloud for ten years, or even longer, just for the next generation, or for the next generation to be able to obtain Han nationality, these Xianbei, or the Southern Huns, their numb expressions suddenly became richer .
