"Dad, it's getting late, let's go back to the inn~?"
When Mo Lingwei saw that Mo Huai and Li Zexuan were still chatting after so long, she couldn't help but interrupt, and at the same time she glanced at Li Zexuan with a complicated expression.
She was indeed very tired from walking all this way.
"Oh~! Indeed~! I almost forgot the time, Mr. Mo, are you staying in an inn tonight~?"
Li Zexuan heard this and said quickly.
Mo Huai nodded and said: "Well, recently we have all been staying in inns~! Since His Majesty has allocated the household registration of us people to Mei Village, then we will go to Mei Village to build houses in the future, but it is true that Mo has no time recently, so we can only do it temporarily We’re staying in an inn~! But fortunately, His Majesty personally confessed it, so the officials from the Ministry of Revenue sent the household registrations of everyone in the Mo family a few days ago, otherwise, they wouldn’t even be able to stay in an inn now~!”
When we often watch ancient TV dramas or martial arts TV dramas, we will see the heroes entering the door and shouting, waiter, two good guest rooms! Okay~~! Then the guests check in immediately. Doesn’t it seem very simple~?
But the real situation is definitely not like this~!
If you want to stay in an inn at this time, you must also register your identity. It is not only necessary, but also very strict. However, it is not a modern ID card registration. Foreigners need customs clearance documents, and locals need your household registration certificate.
China's household registration system originated very early. In the Spring and Autumn Period, a book club system developed, with twenty-five households forming one club. "The household registration of the society was written on the board," and the board was the household registration. During the Warring States Period, a powerful country "expected little about its people" and implemented a system of upward accounting. Every year, local governors reported the household registration status and tax revenue budget to the monarch. After Shang Yang's reform in the Qin State, household registration management was strictly enforced, and it was combined with military organization. Five families were the protectors and ten families were the companies, and the "Shiwu Company Sitting Method" was implemented.
After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the head of Guizhou was allowed to own the land, and the acres of land were tied to the household registration. According to the household law of the Han Dynasty, in August in various places, "households are compared with the people", and the land and other properties occupied by each household are recorded in the household registration book, which is used as the basis for collecting population tax and allocating military service and forced labor. Household registration at this time was the integration of three types of registration: population, land, and taxes. Household registration in the Han Dynasty was completed every three years, which was called the "big comparison", and was calculated once every three years; the annual verification before tax collection was called the "small case comparison", which was a regular registration statistics.
In the Tang Dynasty, household registration was also established every three years. It is up to the households themselves to declare their household registration and land, and record them in the "hand-book"; the official register is based on the hand-book. Officials set households according to the amount of assets and the strength of each household (households are divided into nine grades), and collect household taxes accordingly. The above calculation has been changed to once a year, and the intermediate years between the two registrations are recorded in the register according to the records reported in each year, which is equivalent to the registration of changes. In order to prevent under-reporting of age, false reporting of illness and age, etc., officials reviewed the appearance of the person, which was called "group appearance".
It can be seen from this that the household registration system in this era is very strict. If Mo Huai and others were to declare their household registration by themselves, they would have to go through many hurdles, and it would also be easy to expose their identities as Mo Huai. But if Li Er comes forward in person, the whole thing will be much simpler in an instant~!
This is equivalent to the modern world, where the top leader of a country personally helps people apply for ID cards. Doesn’t that mean he can set his household registration wherever he wants~?
"Oops~! Mr. Mo~! It's my fault~! I never expected that everyone from the Mo family would come so quickly. As a result, your residence has not been settled in time for you~! This is really wrong~! This is really wrong. ~! In this way, Mr. Mo, you will take them to stay in the inn these days and find the best guest room from the hotel. All the expenses will be borne by me, including the inn expenses you and Mo Zhong will spend these days. I'll take the responsibility~!"
Li Zexuan suddenly remembered that he had promised Mo Huai that everyone in the Mo family would come over and he would be responsible for settling them down. As a result, they had all come, but he hadn't prepared a place for them yet~! Didn’t this bitch swollen her own face~?
Li Zexuan said he couldn’t bear it~!
"Hee~! I didn't expect you to be quite generous, Chief Shan~!"
Mo Lingwei couldn't help but her eyes lit up and she smiled.
Men don’t need to care about the environment they live in when they go out, but their daughter’s family cares more about it~! So after hearing Li Zexuan say that they would stay in the best guest room, Mo Lingwei was very happy.
"Weier~~!"
Mo Huai scolded with a headache, and then said to Li Zexuan: "Chief, there is no need to..."
"Hey~! Mr. Mo, you don't have to say anything. I didn't arrange this well in the first place, so just do as I say~! Besides, you also know that I am not short of the money~!"
Li Zexuan really didn't say this last sentence just to show off, but because he really wasn't short of money~!
"Hey~! That's right, that's right~! Daddy, let's go back to the inn~!"
Mo Lingwei took Mo Huai's arm and said.
Mo Huai said helplessly: "Thank you very much, Chief Shan~! In the next few days, I will instruct everyone in the Mo family to build houses in Plum Village. Once they are built, we will go live in Plum Village~!"
"Hey~? Wait~!"
When Li Zexuan heard that Mo Huai said he was going to build a house in Meicun, he suddenly thought of something. After thinking carefully for a moment, he said, "Mr. Mo, you don't actually need to build a house. There is a ready-made mansion available in Meicun right now~!"
Mo Huai said in surprise: "Oh~? May I ask the mountain chief, whose house is it~? Can it be sold~?"
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said: "You don't need to buy it. I can get it by just walking around and having some connections~! However, no one has lived there for a long time and needs to be tidied up. Moreover, the house occupies a very large area, so tidying up is more time-consuming. It’s too late today, you should go back to the inn and rest first~! I’ll take you there tomorrow~!”
"Wow~! Is there such a good thing~? Chief Shan, please tell me who lived in this house before~? Why did he move away~?"
As soon as she arrived in Chang'an, she got a mansion inexplicably, which made Mo Lingwei feel a little incredible.
"Haha~! That house used to belong to a landlord in Plum Village. As for why he moved it, I will tell you in detail tomorrow. Miss Mo must be tired after traveling all the way with the brothers, so she'd better go back to the inn to rest early. ~!"
Li Zexuan smiled slightly.
That's right, the house he was talking about was the Liu family's mansion, the same Liu Shiren who was driven away by the people of Meicun~!
After Liu Shiren was evicted six months ago, his family's mansion has been empty. Occasionally, beggars passing by would sneak in and stay for two nights, but usually they would be discovered by people from Meicun within two days and then drive them away.
How wasteful is it that this house is empty? It would be better to repair it and give it to Mo Huai. Anyway, the house is big enough, and it is no problem for these people to live in it for a short time.
