Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The girl's body made the emperor a little reluctant, and he was half an hour late for work.

    The female officer of the Supervisor of Ceremonies has long been waiting with a memorial, and Li Xiangjun singled out one to place: "Your Majesty, the household registration population of each province has been reported"

    It is said that it is a national census, but it is actually reported according to household registration, otherwise the floating population cannot be counted at all.

    Three Zhao Han opened it, and suddenly felt happy in his heart:

    Directly under the jurisdiction of Jinling Prefecture: 2.63 million.  Directly under the jurisdiction of Beiping Prefecture: 390,000 people.

    Jiangxi Province: 9.15 million.  Anhui Province: 7.04 million.  Jiangsu Province: 7.78 million.  Zhejiang Province: 6.41 million.  Sichuan Province: 9.3 million.

    Hunan Province: 6.22 million.  Hubei Province: 5.33 million.  Guangdong Province: 6.08 million.  Guangxi Province: 3.82 million.  Fujian Province: 5.94 million.

    Shandong Province: 2.66 million.  Henan Province: 2.45 million.  Hebei Province: 1.03 million.  Shanxi Province: 1.84 million.  Shaanxi Province: 1.66 million.

    Liaoning Province: 1.14 million.  Yunnan Province: 3.02 million.  Guizhou Province: 2.88 million.

    ?Excluding children under the age of 12, the total population of the country is 86.77 million, which is more than 20 million more than the previous statistics.

    The population of Sichuan has soared by 2.3 million. There are three main reasons: first, the recovery of southern Sichuan; second, a large number of children who have reached the age of twelve;

    Both Guangdong and Fujian have increased by more than one million. This is because a large number of ethnic minorities have settled down, and Hainan Island and Taiwan Island have also registered households with the same name.  Take Hainan Island as an example. Counting the registered Li and Miao nationalities, the population exceeds 120.

    Ten thousand.

    As for Liaoning, not only Mongolia and Jurchen are counted, but even Koreans are counted.

    Baozhou, the border area of ??North Korea, was also placed under the jurisdiction of Liaoning.

    The population situation in Jiangxi is particularly embarrassing. Although the number of registered citizens is second in the country, many people are working as officials, doing business, or serving in the army.  Moreover, young and middle-aged people continue to immigrate to the north, and there are many teenagers who have just been included in the statistical age, accounting for one-fifth between the ages of 12 and 18, resulting in a shortage of rural labor force.  foreign slaves.

    The next day, the court meeting.

    Zhao Han smiled and announced to the officials: "The two prefectures and eighteen provinces in the whole country have a population of 86.77 million, which is more than the peak population in the previous Ming Dynasty. You have worked hard!"

    In fact, Liaoning has not yet officially established a province and is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Shandong, but the population statistics are separated.

    "Your Majesty has made every effort to govern the world with benevolence, so that all the people can prosper."

    "The Holy Son of Heaven is in court, and the people of Shenzhou are blessed!"

    "Our Datong New Dynasty has a population of nearly 90 million at the beginning of the founding of the country. Twenty years later, the number of people must be as many as trillions. It is really a prosperous age unheard of in ancient times!"

    For a time, all the officials sang praises, and most of them were sincere.

    This is China after many years of war, natural disasters, famine, and plague. The registered population is larger than that of the heyday of Ming Dynasty.  Moreover, the population in the north is scarce, so even if you don't do anything now, if you let it develop, the population will increase dramatically. It is estimated that the population will exceed 100 million in a few years.

    A lot of people is a prosperous age, how to keep the officials from being elated?

    Zhao Han said: "There are still too few people in Beiping Prefecture. In the Ming Dynasty, Beijing alone had a population of one million, but now the entire Beiping Prefecture is less than 400,000. In any case, next year we will immigrate 100,000 people to Peiping Prefecture.  most densely migrated areas."

    "The minister complies with the order!" The officials of the household department came out holding wat boards.

    Ai Julius and other Hanlin Academy missionaries were dumbfounded when they heard the data. Are there so many people in Europe?

    The topic of today's court meeting is to talk about the contradiction between man and earth.  Mainly discuss the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Guanzhong area had a large population,

    There is a serious shortage of arable land per capita.  For example, not long after Emperor Wu of the Han came to power, he distributed the royal land to the people for cultivation, and then allowed the people to move freely, and a large number of farmers in Guanzhong moved to outside the Guan for reclamation.

    ?He also discussed the land systems of the Tang and Song dynasties, and finally Zhao Han came to a conclusion that after fifty years, China's land would definitely not be enough for farming, and it would be necessary to expand overseas.  For example, Luzon,

    Although the climate there is hot and the rainy season is very long, as long as you cultivate carefully, you can still reclaim the tropical rainforest little by little.

    This stuff is not only told to all officials, but also published in newspapers to let the people know, and long-term indoctrination forms a consensus for overseas development.

    After the court meeting was over, Zhao Han said to Fei Chun and Wu Yingji: "You two stay and go to the cabinet together."

    These two people are in charge of finance and taxation, and jointly wrote a memorial, requesting reform of the fiscal and taxation system.

    ? Zhao Han went to the cabinet to hold a financial meeting. Five people, Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua, Song Yingxing, Fei Chun, and Wu Yingji, attended.

    Zhao Han asked the three cabinet ministers: "Younshu.com</a>¡±

    "There are still local officials collecting exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes from the previous Ming?" Zhao Han was very surprised and angry.

    Wu Yingji said: "This phenomenon is extremely serious in northern and southern Sichuan, and it was discovered by the inspectors of the Integrity Government. Because it mainly involves commercial taxation, the relevant government offices were informed of the facts, and His Majesty was not alarmed."

    Zhao Han said angrily: "Immediately draw up an edict, listing all kinds of regular taxes, and designate all the rest as exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes. Whoever dares to collect illegally will be corrupt and pervert the law!"

    This kind of situation also made Zhu Yuanzhang so angry that the local officials even collected taxes on the small people who went to the city to sell dates.

    Of course, Zhao Han is not as conscientious as Zhu Yuanzhang.  Zhu Yuanzhang does not levy commodity tax on wedding and funeral items, pens, inks, papers and inkstones and other cultural items, but they are all taxed here in Zhao Han.

    The six people discussed for a full day, and finally roughly determined the tax reform plan. As for the details, further discussions will continue.

    Industrial and commercial taxes, tolls, and operating taxes are all confirmed in a unified manner to remove the last obstacle to revitalizing commerce.

    The money and grain exchange business of Datong Bank has also been reduced from two or three towns to one office in each county.

    The national tax and land tax are also subdivided again, reducing the local retention of agricultural tax and increasing the proportion of agricultural tax deportation to the central government.  Setting up local Changping warehouses is no longer a matter for local officials. Datong Bank's money and grain exchange offices in counties are equivalent to the Changping warehouses established by the state.

    This adjustment of the bank's money-to-grain exchange business will definitely catch a lot of grain rats, probably enough to behead them.

    After the adjustment of the tax system, the provincial governments should provide financial support to areas with particularly difficult financial conditions, such as poverty-stricken mountains, so as not to fail to pay official salaries in the future.
