The "six basic duties" are the six main responsibilities that Lao Zhu stipulated for local officials to complete. The practice of observing orders with six tasks gradually became popular.
The six things mainly include six aspects: school, fields, household registration, taxes and servitude, lawsuits and prisons, and thieves.
This is the most concise summary of the duties of local officials.
Schools were places where feudal officials trained talents, and they provided a large number of talents to the feudal country every year.
Therefore, the quality of school establishment is directly related to the stability of national power. Whether local officials attach great importance to the development of schools has become the most important criterion for assessing their responsibilities.
This is why Zheng Xiong used the money he obtained to build the school first.
In this way, even if Lao Zhu has some bad intentions, Lao Zhu will not be ashamed to build his own school and will fight for it at all costs.
Zheng Xiong spoke up, and Lao Zhu did the same, giving Zheng Xiong time to build the school.
It's just that the intervening few days made Lao Zhu a little unable to bear it, because as the days passed, Zheng Xiong never did his job properly.
After that, they waited until Zheng Xiong got 10,000 guan from the government office and gave it to Tieniu to establish a building.
It also made Lao Zhu feel distressed for a long time.
Once the construction was completed, Zheng Xiong also gave a rough estimate of the school's price.
Calculated on the basis that each school building can accommodate a thousand people and each classroom can accommodate fifty people, and there are twenty classrooms in each school building, the price of each room is one hundred guan.
The Yingtianfu Yamen also signed a document contract with the same building on the second day after its establishment.
At the standard of 200,000 yuan for 100 school buildings, the first construction was officially allocated and delivered within a time limit.
"Tieniu, the materials for stone and wood must be sufficient. You are not allowed to cut corners. I will inspect and accept them when the time comes. I hope you will not disappoint me."
"This is just the first step. It is a plan for one hundred schools in one phase. According to the plan, a thousand schools will be built. Now is just the beginning. Don't cause any trouble for me at this time."
"The money is about the same. If there is more or less, you can report it to me. If it is less, I will continue to allocate funds."
"If it's too much, you can keep it in your account and treat it as income."
"But please remember not to commit corruption or break the law. I have no room for disgrace in my eyes and will not tolerate it."
"If I find out, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The ugly words are ahead, Zheng Xiong first gives Tieniu a shot to prevent the growth of desire.
"Just a small note."
No one can predict the human heart, but Tieniu had no other thoughts at the moment and kept Zheng Xiong's words in mind.
"Master Marquis, I have a question now. Many of the people we have recruited are naturalized, and some are not craftsmen. Now that they are engaged in construction, do they need to change their citizenship?"
Standing up from the general manager's position, Zheng Xiong moved his body and gave Tieniu the answer.
"It's not necessary now, and I'm not that particular. It doesn't matter whether you're naturalized or not. As long as you do well, you can continue to do it."
"Those who do not do well will have to leave regardless of whether they are naturalized or not."
"Don't stop me when recruiting people. You don't have to focus on craftsmen. Ordinary people can do it."
"No one is born with it, it all depends on words and deeds."
"There is a limit of 10,000 people, and wages will be paid at 20 cents. After you become proficient, we will restart the hierarchy."
"You, the first group of old people, still follow the graded system and are not counted with them."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for them."
According to the experience of later generations, if you want to boost the economy, you have to rely on construction.
Ten thousand strong labor force means ten thousand employment opportunities, which is the basic guarantee for ten thousand households.
Now that Zheng Xiong has become the governor, he must try his best to solve the employment problem and maintain social stability.
10,000 people, no more than 10,000 guan per month, it’s trivial.
After giving Tieniu his final explanation, Zheng Xiong walked away and handed over all matters to Tieniu.
Tieniu's problem also reminded Zheng Xiong that the household registration system needs to be changed.
Lao Zhu Ding
There is nothing wrong with establishing a household registration system.
It can only be said that different eras have different national conditions.
Everyone performs their duties, the people follow the rules step by step, it is easy to manage, and the flow of household registration is restricted, which can indeed stabilize the world.
That is conducive to the recovery and development of agriculture at this stage.
In the long run, it is not conducive to the development of industry and commerce.
When farmers' land is lost, land is annexed, and natural and man-made disasters occur, the people will be confused and pushed to a dead end. Read the book
What can Zheng Xiong do? He is still angry! Of course it was against Lao Zhu.
Not only was there a disagreement, but Zheng Xiong's limited vision also destined that Zheng Xiong would not govern according to Lao Zhu's ideas.
First Construction downplaying household registration and recruiting people is just the beginning.
Wherever Tianfu Nuo is large, Zheng Xiong also wants to carry out reforms.
To boost the economy and increase employment opportunities, the biggest obstacle is population mobility.
The household registration is the yellow book, also called the yellow book of taxes and servitude, which complements the fish scale album.
The Yellow Book was the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty and was also the method of tax and servitude, so it was also called the Yellow Book of Tax and Servitude.
The implementation of the Yellow Book adopts a bottom-up approach.
First, the government would draw up an "Inventory Statement", distribute it to each household, fill it out truthfully, and then hand it over to the head of household.
Then, each district will send the base book to the county, and then each county's base book will compile the county's yellow book and send it to the government.
The government and the Chief Secretary will then create a register one by one, and finally report it to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
A total of four copies of the Yellow Book are made, one is sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the other is kept by the Chief Secretary, the Prefecture, and the County. This is also called the "Yellow Book of Taxes and Services".
It was to restrict population movement, and also to collect taxes and collect corvee.
Yi Jian's recruitment of people inadvertently liberated the corvee sector to a certain extent.
As for taxation, Zheng Xiong already has an idea, but it's not mature yet.
What Zheng Xiong wants now is to move the population, which is the opposite of Lao Zhu.
Replacing the road guide with an ID card is what Zheng Xiong wants to do at this moment.
Although there is no technology from later generations, current aspects are not enough to support the production of a generation of ID cards.
However, there are ways to be poor, and there are ways to be rich.
If it's not enough to make, then make a simplified one.
The most important thing about an ID card is the identity picture.
Abstract freehand brushwork is naturally not enough, and masters will not spend a lot of time specially painting a portrait of an ordinary person.
Then there is only one method left that can be used to draw quickly.
Sketching is simple and convenient, and you can create a professional profile picture in half an hour.
The characters can also basically conform to the prototype.
It is the best painting method for making ID cards.
Therefore, Zheng Xiong immediately devoted himself to making ID cards after finishing his work at Yijian.
First, a large number of painters were recruited in the government offices, and there was no restriction on who could come.
Later, a notice was posted, recruiting a large number of people regardless of gender, but they had to conduct assessments to select some talented people.
The wages are not low either. As long as you succeed in the assessment, you can get a basic wage of twenty cents, and you can get a commission for every portrait you complete.
For this reason, a large number of people came to sign up.
For a time, the government office was crowded with people and it was very lively.
