"Alas...! It's not about the household registration and ID card you mentioned!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Han's head suddenly grew a lot bigger.
"Pfft..."
Hearing this, Ying Feiyu couldn't help but snicker, and he and Zhang Han walked towards the main hall one after the other.
"Your Highness, are you still smiling?"
The more he behaved like this, the more severe Zhang Han's face was slapped.
Ever since this kid mentioned this matter in an understatement in the court, his head was like a ball of mush, and he couldn't figure it out, yet this kid was still gloating about his misfortune.
"His Royal Highness, our relationship was supposed to be good in the past, but why do you have to make such a suggestion and make my household department so busy?"
After the morning court, the people from the Ministry of Revenue went to the palace gate to inform the coachman and asked them to go back first. They told the family that they were very busy recently and it was not certain when they would be able to return to the palace, so they were asked not to wait.
And he also came to see His Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise, he would have to work with the Ministry of Revenue!
"It's wrong for Zhang Shangshu to say that. This prince has always dealt with the situation and not the person! How long has it been since Great Qin conducted a detailed population check?"
Ying Feiyu quickly waved his hand to clarify for himself.
Let this old guy talk about it, why does it seem like he is deliberately trying to punish him?
"Since the unification of the six countries, we have only checked once when they were just unified. Since then, we have relied on the data reported by local governments to make statistics, and we have not investigated the detailed population numbers!"
After arriving at the main hall, Zhang Han frowned and thought while looking for a chair to sit down.
"That's it. We haven't conducted a detailed investigation for so many years. I suggest that we conduct a detailed investigation to see how fast the population is growing! If the actual population growth is too slow, then we need to adjust the incentive policies! If the expectations are met, we should adjust the population growth rate according to the actual population growth rate. Isn’t this a normal thing to do in terms of quantity and immigration strategy?”
Ying Feiyu shrugged and said that this matter was not aimed at the Ministry of Revenue, but a necessary strategy for Da Qin.
Who made this old guy the Minister of the Ministry of Finance?
If he is not willing to do it, there are a lot of people eyeing this position.
As long as he leaves with his front foot, someone is guaranteed to hit him with his back foot!
"Since our Great Qin unified the six kingdoms, we have had to deal with internal and external troubles, and we have been fighting for years, and the population has often been lost. How can we have time to conduct detailed investigations? Besides, without His Majesty's order, we cannot conduct a large-scale investigation!"
Zhang Han quickly cleared himself of responsibility.
It’s not that their household department didn’t do anything, but it’s such a huge workload that they couldn’t have done it without His Majesty’s order.
Moreover, this matter will involve many officials, and it must be done with His Majesty’s order so that officials from all over the country can cooperate!
"Yes, that's why I didn't propose a census before, but this time it involves immigrants from the state, so I proposed a census!"
Now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and there will be no large-scale wars in the future.
Even if there is a war, there won't be too many casualties. This is the best time for a census!
"The census is fine. We at the Ministry of Household Affairs are busy. But adding an ID card will require the full cooperation of local governments. I don't know if they will take this seriously!"
Zhang Han's words were full of embarrassment.
He also knows that the population reported by local governments has a certain amount of water in it!
The imperial court suddenly said that it would conduct a thorough investigation. In order to cover it up, those officials would definitely come up with all kinds of tricks to add resistance to the work of the Ministry of Revenue!
"As long as the policies from above are strict enough, I don't believe that the governments below will not cooperate!"
Ying Feiyu smiled lightly.
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Zhang Han stared at him with interest.
"Anyone who does not cooperate with the Ministry of Household Affairs in conducting the census will be dismissed from office and held accountable! If they cooperate with the Ministry of Household Affairs, even if it is found that the population within their jurisdiction is different from the previous report, no responsibility will be held!"
Ying Feiyu gave an example.
"Huh? That's a good idea!"
Local officials tried to obstruct it in order to prevent the court from finding out the true population.
In this way, even if the population does not match, they will not be held accountable, but if they find ways to obstruct it, they will lose their hat.
As long as you are smart, you will definitely cooperate with the Ministry of Household Affairs to thoroughly check the population!
"But the household department doesn't have the right to be promoted or dismissed from office?"
Zhang Han's brows relaxed a little, then frowned again.
"This is easy to say. I will go back to my father to clarify this matter and let him issue an edict!"
Even though Daddy Scumbag keeps a straight face all day long and doesn't speak in a good mood, this has its own advantages, namely, it is a deterrent.
As long as you give orders in the name of the scumbag, the people below will definitely obey!
"Then thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince!"
Zhang Han breathed a long sigh of relief, cupped his hands and thanked him.
"The prince will go to Huang Yuan later to discuss the material of the ID card and make the ID card. When the time comes, take advantage of the census and issue it to every citizen of Da Qin. It will be a great help in the future. !”
Anyway, we need to re-register every citizen of Da Qin, so we should promote it together with their ID cards.
Although the Internet is not available in this era, it is still a lot more convenient!
"good!"
Zhang Han had no idea about ID cards, but His Highness the Crown Prince had said so, so they just did it.
"When the Ministry of Household Affairs is doing the census, it can first take out the local recorded population, then conduct a detailed survey, and finally make a comparison!"
"Yeah! Okay, I'll explain it later!"
Zhang Han nodded repeatedly.
"The population of our Great Qin is still too small! Even if the incentive policy has some effect, it is still not enough if we want to immigrate all the people from Yizhou, Erzhou and other places!"
The population growth of Daqin is inevitable. Even if the data given by the government is somewhat watery, it will not be too big.
Most of the increased population are children between one and two or three years old. It will take at least ten years for them to grow up safely and be able to take the lead!
"Yeah, how about we not issue a regulation that punishes those who don't have children?"
Zhang Han asked tentatively.
Encouragement policies already exist, but the population is still not enough, so we can only think of this solution!
"Hmph! Then this order should come from Zhang Shangshu, we don't dare!"
Ying Feiyu pretended to be scared and waved his hands repeatedly.
"how?"
Zhang Han was puzzled.
If encouragement doesn't work, shouldn't there be punishment?
"Quickly pull him down. You are going to destroy the reputation that Da Qin has just established! Are you going to stop being scolded to death by then?"
Whether or not to have children is actually the freedom of the people. Even if the population of Da Qin is small, it cannot punish people who do not have children.
"Population is not achieved overnight, it requires continuous development! We still need to build up national strength, make people live a prosperous life, add a series of encouraging policies, and improve medical conditions, and people will naturally have children!"
In this regard, Ying Feiyu is not very anxious. Population development cannot be completed in a day or two.
