After that technical competition, hundreds of people who represent the whole county to perform labor service were finally selected, and they will be the first batch of workers. Although these workers are construction workers, they represent the beginning of the rise of the workers class. No one knows that the workers class will start with the so-called replacement of others. If 400,000 people in the current population of more than 10 million in the Tang Dynasty can be specially engaged in the replacement of others' labor service, the construction workers in the country will account for one-thirty. This does not include those employees who work on behalf of private bosses, and these together may be 5% or 20% of the national population.

Under this situation, the strength of the working class has increased greatly. Moreover, the workers are no longer a group of people who are ignored, and a large part of them will be professional construction workers who replace the government to carry out construction projects. These workers will gradually divide the work again and finally form a relatively complete industrial system. However, Jing Wen has only started with a beginning, and the rest is that these workers need to solve the remaining things themselves. Jing Wen is just a guide. Whether they can really rise gradually depends on their workers themselves.

However, within two days, a large group of yamen runners went to the countryside.

"Baoba..." A yamen runner gently patted the people from a family.

This is specifically requested by Jing Wen. These yamen runners must be polite to the people. They cannot kick the door directly like they did in the past. Of course, unless they arrest the suspect, they can kick the door, but they cannot kick the door in other situations. This is to be included in the assessment of these yamen runners. If no one complains after a month, or are not arrested when they visit each other, then they can get a bonus. If they can be polite to the people for three consecutive months and do not have the same government aura as in the past, then Jing Wen can directly recommend him to work in the yamen in Chang'an, and his future will be even greater. After all, it is not easy to be a minor official in Chang'an now. After all, there are many more futures than local minor officials, because they can have the opportunity to be an official.

Therefore, under the temptation of money and various futures, they all worked hard to perform, and even if they were misunderstood by the people for a while, they had to endure it.

"Master, what are you here to do? Come in and have a drink of water!" said Zhang Laosan.

"No. I'm here today for something. Lord Jing Wen from Chang'an is going to conduct a so-called census. So we must find out clearly. It's really a mouth above and a broken leg from below!" The servant said helplessly.

"Haha, Lord Jing Wen is from Chang'an. Maybe you can carry the big tree and go to Chang'an to have some food!" Zhang Laosan said.

"I hope so too!" said the officer.

Because during this period, under Jing Wen's order, the yamen runners here changed their style. They treated the people much better and did not show any face to the government. Now, when the people see the yamen runners, they never feel afraid, but they are very friendly. Some people even dare to joke with the yamen runners. Some children will not be scared by the evil spirits when they see the yamen runners. If it were in the past, I am afraid that the yamen runners would be calmer as soon as they go on the streets. This is caused by the gang of yamen runners.

"Okay, I don't have much time. When I get to your house, we have to go to the next house! I'm here to do the statistics. How many people do you have in your family?" asked the yamen runner.

However, Zhang Laosan asked in confusion: "What else do you want to do? It turned out that I didn't come to check it. It used to be just a few household registrations, but now why do the population in each household registration need to be counted?"

"Yes! This time, Lord Jing Wen not only asked us to count the number of household registrations, but also the real population, so that we can be considered complete." The servant said.

In fact, in ancient times, the so-called "household registration" counted, that is, it was based on a family. A family generally included a couple, one or two children, or one or two elderly people. Of course, this is not all the way to form, but it is generally the case. They counted the household registration and then started multiplication according to this number. The result was that the number of people was counted. This population was actually very inaccurate and often caused a lot of errors. Moreover, when collecting taxes, it was also based on this household registration, without considering the changes in family members and changes in land property rights when time passed.

Of course, Jing Wen also knew that there was a so-called "one or two hundred years" in later generations, but taxes were collected according to the household registration components of a hundred or two hundred years ago. Those families were rich and became poor one or two hundred years ago, but they still had to collect taxes according to the rich one or two hundred years ago. Or families were poor but later became rich, but they still collected taxes according to the statistical data of a hundred or two hundred years ago. This is simply ridiculous. Therefore, after Jing Wen issued a household registration survey conducted a few years ago in the Tang Dynasty, he conducted another census. Only by completing the census can the next plan be carried out.

"Okay, how many people are there in your family?" asked the officer.

"My wife just passed away last year, and now there are only two sons and me, one daughter and one daughter-in-law. However, I am going to hold my grandson. Is this a population considered a person?" Zhang Laosan asked.

"Well, you are a group of five. As for the child who has not been born yet, it is not a population. However, maybe after a year or two, when we conduct the census again, it will be considered a population!" said the servant.

"What about the birth date of your population? In which year was it?" asked the servant.

"Do you have to ask this?" Zhang Laosan asked.

"Yes, I have to ask too! These are all the requirements above!" said the officer.

"Okay, my eldest son is born in the first year of Wude. I got married last year before my wife passed away and soon I was about to hold my grandson. Unfortunately, my wife can never see her again, what a pity!" Zhang Laosan said with a pity.

The servant did not take the initiative to continue, after all, it is very immoral to uncover other people's scars. However, he also counted the birth date of these populations and recorded a thick book. This book is the book specially used for statistics produced by Jing Wen's paper printing workshop.
