Chapter 624
I only heard Liu Yu say.
"How has the household registrations counted by various states and counties been reviewed now?"
The person asked about this was Xun Sui, who had just served as the Minister of the Shangshu Tai Minjun.
"Report to Your Majesty, since last year, the number of reports from various prefectures and counties has been almost 70% or 80% of the review." Xun Sui said immediately.
As one of the new policies of the new dynasty, the advantage of the six-department system is that it reduces the drawbacks of mutual shirking responsibility by the upper-class powers of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
As long as it is a question from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Liu Yu asked, as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he would definitely answer it immediately.
There will no longer be any unknown rights and responsibilities.
"I have reviewed seven or eight points, and that should be almost the same."
Liu Yu nodded and continued to ask.
"How many people do all the states and counties have in total?"
Xun Sui immediately answered.
"Report to Your Majesty, except for Liangzhou's household registration, there are more than 1.87 million soldiers and civilian household registrations, 15 million men and women, and 200,000 vassals in Liaozhou, Daizhou, Yunzhou, and Dongpingzhou."
After hearing this answer, Liu Yu nodded and said to everyone.
"You all heard it."
"Now there are so many prefectures and counties, I order the release of my troops almost every year, and the slaves, and the rest for several years, have only 15 million people."
When Liu Yu said this, he smiled a little self-deprecatingly.
"To be honest, I even have some doubts. Will there be any inflated reports in order to increase my grades?"
In the assessment of local officials in all dynasties, the number of people under their rule is an extremely important reference standard.
Especially nowadays, population growth is the top priority in the whole world.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid. After I go back, I will be ordered to investigate strictly and there will be no false reports."
Xun Sui next to him said nervously.
This "census" was the first major event since the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was appointed.
If you are negligent, it will be embarrassing.
However, Liu Yu didn't care about this.
He waved his hand and said.
"Even if this situation occurs, it shouldn't be too exaggerated. Don't mobilize too much."
Once there are too many reports of Ding, the corresponding taxes will be more.
The chief officials of those counties are not stupid, so they can naturally weigh the pros and cons.
"I just want to say that at this speed, if I follow the path of defending the inner emptiness, I don't know how many years it will take."
Liu Yu said helplessly.
This is an era when there are no man-made disasters and frequent natural disasters. Liu Yu doesn’t have much time to wait.
Once a situation occurs, Anke will repeat the mistakes of history.
"Sir, do you still remember how many Dingkou were there in the former Jin Dynasty?" Liu Yu asked Gongsun Sheng next to him.
"I was just a minor official in the army at that time, but I didn't know about these major events in the court." Gongsun Sheng said.
"Your Majesty, I know." Hua Xiu next to him said.
"Oh, let me tell you." Liu Yu asked.
Hua Xiu cleared his throat and continued.
"In the third year of Taikang, there were more than 2.7 million household registrations, 23 million male and female resident, and there were also border Yiren..."
As a good student among the gentry, Hua Xiu revealed the most prosperous population data of the Western Jin Dynasty before the "Eight Kings Rebellion".
After hearing this, Liu Yu nodded and said.
"This is just the number of registered households, and the large number of soldiers, divisions and slaves in the Jin Dynasty are not listed here, right?"
"Your Majesty is right, that's true." Hua Xiu replied.
