Chapter 724 What is called welfare
In fact, it is not just wild people like Yang Hu who are not registered, but more of them are tenants and slaves in the families of major gentry, poor families and even wealthy families.
As mentioned in the previous article, slaves were allowed in the Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, there were more than 30,000 slaves alone responsible for raising horses in the northwest. When Wang Mang was at the time of Wang Mang, there were more than 200,000 slaves recorded on the list.
Even under Ma Qiang's rule of the Northern Expedition Army, there were many slaves. The tenants could obtain land in the clearing and dividing land movement. The slaves were the owner's private property and naturally could not divide the land. Ma Qiang did not carry out the abolition movement at this time. After all, the eldest brother of Wang Mang who was engaged in the abolition movement was still watching Ma Qiang in the arsenal.
Of course, you should never mistakenly think that it is a slave society just because there are slaves in this era. To judge what society it is, you should still look at the composition of productivity. Otherwise, the time of the Western slave society can be counted until the end of the 19th century.
Therefore, what the work of enrolling households and civil servants has to deal with is not the wild people who are forced to flee to the mountains and fields, but the gentry, even poor families and even wealthy families.
Yang Hu was really happy to learn that he was also qualified to publish his ranks. He couldn't help but shout, "Thank you, sir! Thank you!"
Yuan Hua shook his head and said, "I should thank you Mr. Ming! If you say this, are you willing to become a naturalized household registration?"
Yang Hu nodded violently. When he entered the household, he didn't have to pay taxes immediately. When he got the cloth, he really had to serve himself or pay taxes. If it really didn't work, just carry his father and hide it.
The little people are also cunning.
Yuan Hua continued, "According to the plan, if there is no land or land at home, and those who are short of clothing and food can register to receive cloth. There is not much cloth, so no one can receive one-third of the crop if there is no difference between men, women, and young.
If you have cotton coats at home, surplus grain in the warehouse, and there are cultivated fields and forests in the mountains to survive the winter, you cannot receive them. You are welcome to supervise and report them. I will set up a registered report here. Any violations can be reported here."
In the Han Dynasty, a piece of cloth was four meters, about two meters and four meters in one meter. A piece of cloth was about nine meters and six meters, and one third of a person was one third, which was three meters in one person, which was enough to make a set of clothes.
And one hundred and fifty pieces of cloth are the quota of four hundred and fifty people.
This is a large number for Wuzhou, which has a population of more than a thousand people on paper.
Yuan Hua said that if there is enough money and food in his family to spend the winter, they cannot receive cloth. Everyone can understand it. It can be understood. As the saying goes, "Don't worry about being weak or uneven". Even in later generations, when absolute poverty has been basically eliminated in China, the behavior of not fearing death in the absence of death in the era of various subsidies has been repeatedly banned.
As I told Mr. Lao Ma, as long as the profit is large enough, what if you behead yourself?
Therefore, from the beginning of registration, all kinds of troubles have been repeatedly banned.
Although the registration office was established, no one dared to be the first person, and they were all watching.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!!"
"I heard that the government has announced that, why are you all here?"
A group of big and thick men squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the registration office where Yuan Hua was located cursing.
"This Shangguan, we are all poor people with no money, no land, no food, no clothes, no clothes. Where can we get the cloth?"
When Yuan Hua saw the people around him fearing the appearance of these people, he knew that these were local bullies. To be honest, these people really had a meal but no meal, and they all depended on stealing their lives. However, if they gave the cloth to these people, they would sell the cloth for wine and meat that day, and they would not be grateful to the Zhengbei Army for this move. Instead, they would laugh at the Zhengbei Army as fools.
"I think you do have no land, money, but cloth is just a temporary solution and it is difficult to break the roots. This is how I am recruiting labor camp in the North Army. I think you are very suitable. There are not only money, grain, cloth, and food, and accommodation there!" As he said, Yuan Hua said to the yamen runners behind him, "Take them to register as laborers in the road repair team!"
"What? Didn't you agree to get the cloth? Recruiting and placing labor service?"
"Friends, run away! The government is lying to us again!"
"Brothers, you can't go. If you go, you will die. Let's fight them!"
These rookies began to panic when they saw the yamen runners and soldiers surrounding them.
"Brother Li, we have eaten meat! You can't do this from the villagers!"
I was shocked by the yamen runner who called Brother Li. These sluts didn't know, but they knew that the governor's office had already established various departments after the reorganization, and the next were all counties. Maybe whether the current iron rice bowl can continue to be held. Who can care about you?
The man who sat there, but who could write to the letter to the governor Kou directly, is said to be the son of the General of the Conquest of Peking and the nobleman who had spoken to the General. If he remembered it, he would not know how he died.
What's more, this noble man brought ten soldiers.
"Ye! You evildoer! Who knows you? Take it all for me!"
The rookie was arrested to work as a laborer, which not only did not scare the other people, but also made many people secretly happy, thinking that at least the public security in Wuzhou would be better in the future.
The local wealthy families who lured these ruffians to test also knew that this special commissioner Yuan was not easy to fool, so they continued to squat and observe the situation.
"My fellow villagers, who would like to pick up the cloth?"
Although I was very happy to see the thug being caught, I couldn't help but worry if this was a new way to play conscription and labor service.
Seeing this, Yuan Hua also felt that he had just become Meng Lang and was still a little too young...
If it really doesn't work, just let the arrangements be held.
At this time, Yang Hu, who had been hesitating for a long time, looked at the sun that had already begun to deviate, gritted his teeth and walked up to him and said, "I'll do it! My name is Yang Hu, I am a wild man. There is only one old father in the family. My father and I are willing to be included in the civil book!"
He really needs these cloths so that his father can ensure that he will not be frozen to death.
Yuan Hua was overjoyed and said, "Okay, come here, arrange for him to register and record and collect the voucher and distribute the cloth!
But he must pick up your father's cloth himself. After all, there is no way to speak for nothing. Give him his cloth first!"
Yang Hu looked at the 100-foot-foot-foot-of-wool cloth in his hand, and he still felt a little unbelievable that this was true.
This feel, weight, and thickness make this clothes warm!
This is true, the government is really is issuing relief to them.
Yang Hu's hair was sore and he knelt on the ground with a thud.
“Thank you…”
"Mr. Xie Ming! Xie Zhengbei General's Mansion!" Yuan Hua shouted immediately.
Yang Hu was stunned for a moment and said again, "Thank you, Mr. Ming! Thank you, General Zhengbei!"
The onlookers were immediately excited when they saw that Yang Hu actually took the cloth and did not let him serve or anything else.
There is really a cloth that can be used for nothing!
Is this the legendary welfare?
Then what are you waiting for? Grab it!
Yuan Hua was shocked when he saw the people who were about to rush up and shouted quickly, "Hurry up, maintain order!"
