Chapter 1866 Imperial Citizens

There are too many potential threats for super empires like the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty yearns for a peaceful and prosperous era, it will be not far from destruction. It must always have a sense of urgency. For such a large empire, war is inevitable. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty must maintain a strong military force, whether internal or external, in order to maintain this great empire.

The military backbone of the Tang Empire mainly comes from the aristocratic class, so Han Yi also faces a choice whether to completely break the tradition of the aristocratic legion or choose to cooperate with them.

He also struggled with this for a long time, so many nobles joined the military academy or the royal training camp, but there were also many common people, which shows that he had always left room for himself.

In the end, Han Yi chose the latter and carried out comprehensive cooperation with the nobles, whether in politics, economy, or military.

This will make him form a super powerful bondage of interests with the nobles, especially the nobles in Guanzhong.

......

This new policy has been promulgated, but how to start, of course it starts with issuing new household registrations. If you do not count your household registration, many tasks will be difficult to carry out.

Chang'an took the lead in issuing brand new household registration.

The distribution locations in the city are placed in the municipal offices of the two cities, the Women's Federation Bureau, and several large wardrobes. More than 20 processing points are placed outside the city, including four military camps.

Because the procedures for household registration are not as fast as in later generations, they have to be written by hand or stamped directly on computers, so Han Yi has sent a large number of officials, and there is nothing else to do now.

Moreover, in order to be more efficient, Han Yi has arranged all the areas in succession and organized by gentry in rural areas. This is also the closest time that the government has cooperated with gentry in history.

On the first day, a large number of citizens and villagers flocked to the processing point to obtain brand new household registration.

Because in the new policy, the household registration has a very important effect, and the hidden household registration cannot avoid taxes anymore. The court calculates taxes based on the number of acres. The land that does not pay taxes is wasteland. Now that you have obtained the new household registration, the government will not pursue whether you have evaded taxes before.

Han Yi also came to the west city to inspect.

"Brother Han!"

"Shangshu Ling."

As soon as he showed up, the people saluted him one after another. Whether it was honored by Shangshu Ling or Brother Han, they were full of respect. The new policy was beneficial to the people, and Han Yi was the savior in their minds, and Han Yi's prestige was no match for him.

Han Yi also nodded with a smile.

"Brother Han!"

Suddenly, I heard a shout, and saw Brother Xiong, Du Zuhua and the others standing in the middle of the team, waving at him.

Han Yi walked up and said, "You guys are so early!"

Brother Xiong said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do now, so I'll come early."

"Don't show off!"

Han Yi glared at him slightly and asked again: "Sang Mu, why didn't Cha Wu come?"

Du Zuhua said: "Uncle Sang Mu asked us to come in batches and they will come back tomorrow."

Han Yi nodded, did not talk to them, and walked into the city office again.

"Shangshu Ling, Shangshu Ling, I feel puzzled if I have something under my jurisdiction?"

As soon as I arrived in the city office, I saw several gentry dressed in silk coming to Han Yi and bowed and said.

Han Yi asked, "What's the matter?"

The leader said: "Why is the household registration collected by my family's department not written on it, but rather on the common people?"

The others were also confused. This slut is a slave. In the past, the household registration was to be a slave, because in feudal society, this hierarchy system was very strict, and civilians were at the level of good people, which was equivalent to changing the household registration, and there were no slaves in this family.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Replacing this name is actually just to maintain the reputation of our Tang Dynasty."

Those people looked at Han Yi with confusion, which had nothing to do with the reputation of the Tang Dynasty.

Han Yi continued, "You all know that the court has always encouraged trade, and slaves play a very important role in it. If you want to go to other places to do business, you must bring a few slaves around you."

“What’s the relationship between these two?”

"Of course it's related."

Han Yi said: "In the future population movement, household registration will become very important. Many things need to be found. Our Tang Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world and is the first in all aspects. What we call it internally is the same thing, but the court does not want it. Those outsiders call us people of the Tang Dynasty as bitches. This is a humiliation for our Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the court decided to change the Liang Gu to Liang Ping, but it was just a change in name. What is the provision of this contract? That is what. Don't forget that the contract is the only certificate with legal effects."

These big landlords looked at each other.

Han Yi said again: "Everyone, we are in China, and the level is what level we have. But once we leave the Central Plains, everyone represents our Tang Dynasty. Do you hope that outsiders look down on our Tang Dynasty? This is not good for you. The court just hopes that our Tang Dynasty's civilians can go out and be full of pride. This is what the First Empire should look like."

After hearing this, these gentry thought it was very reasonable. They also started to engage in business and had to deal with foreigners in Chang'an. If the Tang Dynasty's divisions could hold their heads and chests out, their status would be even higher. Besides, the divisions were still divisions and their subordinates, and this did not change.

"What the Secretary Ling said is, we did not take this into consideration."

"There is another problem with the Shangshu Ling. In the past, there were all marked scholars, farmers, industry and commerce in the past. Now, the household registration is unified as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. This... is not convenient to distinguish." But a young man asked.

Han Yi saw the man's clothes and knew that he was a man from the Silin. He smiled and said, "The court wants to show that, but it is difficult to strictly distinguish now. Many merchants have become landlords, and many children of the gentry have become merchants. If they are like before, they will offend many people. Moreover, this household registration is just for the better management of the court. A person's honor must rely on his own efforts. Even if it is marked as scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, you cannot keep your household registration on it."

"But I heard that the household registration of military households is different from ours?"

"It is not a military household, but a person who has made military contributions to the country, so the household registration is different."

Han Yi said it was high-sounding, but in fact he was blurring the various classes, but he was just a reasonable and well-founded person. Moreover, this was just a title, and he did not say that he made any breakthroughs in essence.

But this is really exciting for industry and commerce, especially those departmental departments. In the past, the household registration of the department was very humble and could not even be raised. Now, this new household registration, first of all, can't see any difference on the surface, and it is no longer written as a slut, but a commoner. This title is much more high-end, elegant and upscale.

However, those foreign slaves are not qualified to obtain household registration because the department still has a certain degree of freedom. The slaves are completely affiliated and bought by others with money. They are equivalent to livestock. They have no obligation to pay taxes. They just serve their masters and do not need household registration.

There is also women. In the past, women's household registration was affiliated, mainly based on husbands. However, now that they have independent household registration, Han Yi gave the reason that many women go out to work and they also have to pay taxes. If they don't give an independent household registration, it is impossible to operate! However, the name has not changed, and it still starts with the husband's surname. Doing this can also be a good way to distinguish between the same name and the same surname.

Therefore, this woman is more enthusiastic than a man to obtain a new household registration, and it also highlights the importance of the Women's Federation Bureau. If there is no Women's Federation Bureau, she will not know where to put it.

In a military camp in the north of the city, soldiers were also excited to obtain new household registration.

"Huh? Brother Cao, why is your household registration different from ours?"

"This seems to be Mo Dao. Oh, how did this be printed? It looks so beautiful."

"Haha, I was also curious just now, so I asked General Hou. It turned out that only those who have made military achievements can obtain the household registration with Modao printed on it."

"Brother Hou, you don't have it?"

"I don't."

"Didn't your father get you a copy?"

"No."

"This kind of household registration is really not something you can get just by wanting it. I heard that this is very strict and the number is extremely limited. You have to make considerable military achievements to obtain this kind of household registration. Many generals have not obtained this kind of household registration."

"Really or not?"

"Of course it's true. General Qin has not obtained such a household registration, but Duke Yi is a hero of Lingyan Pavilion!"

"Then what is the use of such a household registration?"

"It's very useful. You haven't heard of the new policy. In the future, our military households can get a lot of benefits. The higher the military merits, the more benefits it has. If you get this household registration, it will definitely be much better than our welfare."

"Oh... we were born at the wrong time! Now our Tang Dynasty has few enemies, and we don't know where to go if we want to make military achievements?"

"Isn't there Tubo here?"

"But the court seemed not to fight against Tubo. The court held back several provocations."

"I think there will always be a battle, let's wait patiently."

.....

.....

Ci'en Temple.

"Ah... it's really not easy to finally become a citizen of the Tang Dynasty!"

Ramshid was very touched with the household registration he just received!

Because the Tang Dynasty was very open, many foreigners came to Chang'an, including those of Persia and Turks with obvious foreign characteristics. However, Persia and Turks have been destroyed by people. At present, the most stable within the Tang Dynasty and the world's largest empire. Of course, they all hope to become citizens of the Tang Dynasty and go to a higher place.

However, they are strict in applying for household registration and have to go through a series of reviews. They must make contributions, have skills, or have worked in the Central Plains for many years before they can be qualified.

Ramshid was very famous in Chang'an and had paid taxes for more than ten years, and his beard turned white, so he quickly qualified.

Suddenly I heard someone beside me saying, "Congratulations, congratulations."

Ramshid was stunned, turned his head and said in surprise: "Brother Han, why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to see the Persian beauties." Han Yi said with a smile.

Ramshid said angrily: "I won't believe you anymore. You have let others perform dramas when I give you Persian beauties. Besides, you have three beautiful wives in your family."

Han Yi laughed, pointed to his household registration and said, "We are a family now!"

Ramshid said: "It's thanks to Brother Han, you know that our Persia has been destroyed. If we don't have this household registration, we don't know where this family is."

In the early years, Persia was destroyed by the food. Many Persians came to Chang'an to settle down, especially women, because a man could bring many women. This Persian woman was beautiful and after coming to Chang'an, it was much easier to get along with than men.

Han Yi patted his shoulder as if comforting.

Ramshid suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Brother Han, I have a brand new product and want to apply for a patent, I wonder if it is possible?"

Han Yi said: "You go to the Patent Office to ask about this! Of course someone will tell you there."

Ramshid said: "My product is different from ordinary products, and it is a bit difficult to talk about. I want to let you see it first and don't make jokes at that time."

Han Yi wondered: "What inventions are still hard to say?"

Ramshid laughed.

Seeing that he was smiling extremely lustful..., Han Yi asked seriously: "It's not ***."
