Chapter 36 Household Registration System
"Sir, recently a thug tried to hijack Wat, the Western expert you hired. Fortunately, he was shot and killed by the guards on the spot, otherwise we would be in danger." Chen Ting reported to Chu Yun with the recent report in the Jinzhou Guard.
Given that Jinzhou City is operating at high speed and undergoes earth-shaking changes every moment, Chu Yun asked Chen Ting to report the changes in the city to him every day.
"Who did it?" Chu Yun combined the book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and took over Chen Ting's report.
"The undercover agent who stayed in Jinzhou City." Chen Ting replied.
"This is a good thing." Chu Yun was unmoved.
"Good thing? Sir, you are looking for me to be happy, are you?" Chen Ting asked suspiciously.
"The Jin people want to kidnap our Western experts, which means they are afraid of us, for fear that the Western experts will help us build more powerful firearms and then destroy them." Chu Yun said.
"The chief said it is reasonable..." Chen Ting nodded first, then shook his head, "No, sir, if they succeed and create a firearm like us, won't we be able to deal with them?"
"Do you think it's easy to build a rifle artillery? Without mature smelting technology, a complete industrial system, and skilled workers can only be considered shoddy, and ammunition supply is also a huge problem." Chu Yun said.
Chu Yun had a deep understanding of this. Unless the Later Jin Dynasty brought all the people he summoned, even if one or two people were tied up, it would be a dream to build a complete industrial system.
"But sir, I'm afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something..." Chen Ting was still worried, "I've been an official for twenty years. It's the first time I've seen an adult who loves people so much as my son. I really don't want Jinzhou to return to the rule of the Jin people."
"Let's do it--" Chu Yun thought for a while. Maybe he should be careful. After all, every technical expert summoned is like a treasure. If he is kidnapped or assassinated by the Later Gold, his industrial blueprint will be more or less affected.
"We set up a patrol detachment to be responsible for the public security of Jinzhou City, and temporarily set the number of people to one hundred. The current task of this patrol detachment is to establish a new household registration system in Jinzhou Guard."
"Each household needs to report the family population truthfully and issue an identity number to each person. People without an identity number are not allowed to enter Jinzhou City, contract land, and work in our Jinzhouwei industry."
Chu Yun thought of the ID card system in later generations, which might solve this problem. Because the household registration number follows a person's life and needs to be used for travel or work, it will impose great constraints on people's behavior. After all, no one wants to have stains on his files.
After listening to Chu Yun's solution, Chen Ting first pondered for a brief moment, and then his eyes gradually shone: "Mire, wonderful, so we can easily find people with unknown identity! And more importantly, it will be convenient for our management in the future! Whether it is the Agricultural Bureau, the turn of traps or other institutions, they can make full use of a piece of information, especially reducing the cost of taxation!"
"That's true." Chu Yun smiled. In fact, the benefits of establishing a household registration system and personal files are far more than just that.
Of course, there are still some problems in the current household registration system, that is, the problem of preventing the forgery of ID card numbers.
This problem is temporarily solved by existing anti-counterfeiting technology, and wait until Chu Yun points out new technology before applying it to anti-counterfeiting technology.
"Then who should be the captain of this patrol detachment?" Chen Ting asked.
"You will be temporarily appointed first. If you go to find Yang Tai from the First Infantry Brigade, he must have a hundred more people. He has privately expanded the scale of the First Infantry Brigade. Don't think I don't know." Chu Yun said.
"I can't hide anything from the eyes of the superiors. I didn't notice that there were more people in the first brigade." Chen Ting and admired his superiors even more.
Chu Yun smiled. He had an industrial revolution system and his military strength could be calculated into the civilization point, so Chu Yun was really clear about how many people he had under his subordinates.
It’s just that he has a default attitude towards the large-scale expansion of his subordinates. The reason is even simpler. With only one thousand people, it is undoubtedly a dream to defend the huge Jinzhou Guard. Therefore, it is a foregone conclusion that the Liao camp expands its army. Chu Yun’s subordinates are just following this trend, just not too much.
"You go down and prepare. Be sure to explain the benefits of the household registration system to the people and do not arouse the people's complaints." Chu Yun finally reminded.
"Yes! The lord is worthy of his subordinates, and he should be like Zhuge Kongming, and he will devote himself to his life until his death!" Chen Ting, a civil servant, also gave Chu Yun a military salute.
After Chen Ting left, Chu Yun turned on Shi Naiyan's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". At this time, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" had been published for two hundred years.
"It is worthy of being a classic work. How many things happen in ancient and modern times are all laughing." Chu Yun turned over the familiar and unfamiliar classic work and couldn't help but sigh.
Trivial footsteps came from the threshold. Soon, several experts from Great Britain came to Chu Yun's room.
Chu Yun closed the book again and looked up at these technical experts. Watt, Terr, Townsend and others were all the generations that witnessed the rise of the British Empire in the 18th century.
"Mr. Wat, I heard that you were attacked by the Jin spy. Are you okay?" Chu Yun asked.
"Those savage golden men are too much!" Watt protested with his fists, "They may think that my research results will threaten them and want to kidnap a great inventor like me to them! But I am loyal to you, and you will not surrender to the savage golden men!"
This is a good example. It not only condemned the Later Jin Dynasty, but also praised himself, and expressed loyalty.
"Ahem, I feel relieved that Mr. Watt is fine. This time I summon everyone to come, because I have a doubt in my heart and want to consult everyone." Chu Yun said.
"Sir, even if we can help, we will know everything we can say." Several experts said at the same time.
Yes, even such a complicated idiom can be used. Chu Yun was secretly amused.
"That's right. You are all senior talents from the great British Empire. You have witnessed the glory of the British Empire. You should know the Royal Navy, right?" Chu Yun asked.
"I have some friends who serve in the Royal Navy, and I still know a little about the Royal Navy. I wonder what the Lord asks about this?" said Townsend, a nobleman of Great Britain.
