Chapter 31 Household Registration
Xia Village regained peace after the Yellow Turban catastrophe. The public sentiment and public security in Xia Village declined due to the influx of a large number of immigrants.
Xia Village's current popularity level has become 75, and public security has become 73.
Theoretically, as long as the public support and public order are sufficient, with Li Kui in charge of the judiciary, it will be difficult for the public support and public order to continue to decline. However, as long as it is less than 80, Chutian's obsessive-compulsive disorder will be difficult to accept.
A prison cell was built in Xia Village, using blueprints captured from the Langya rebel lords.
Once the prison cells were built, the public security suddenly rose from 73 to 80. In a sense, this is true. No matter how simple the people are, law enforcement agencies are needed to ensure public security.
Except when farming is busy, Li Kui usually has to manage public security and supervise the large-scale construction projects in the village.
Since being recruited by Chu Tian, Li Kui, who has held many positions, feels that his body has been hollowed out. Because of his joining, Xia Cun's operating efficiency has greatly increased.
While entrusting the caravan from Xiaozhu Village to purchase materials in Langya City and nearby villages, Chutian conducted an important task of household registration in Xia Village.
Xia Village initially had only 100 villagers and less than 30 households, but now there are more than 1,500 villagers, who come from surrounding villages. After the Yellow Turban catastrophe, most of the villages around Xia Village were destroyed, and Xia Village is one of the few villages within a radius of 30 miles.
One of the villages. Refugees from different villages have formed small groups in Xia Village, which is a big challenge to public security.
For the long-term development of the village and the arrangement of labor for production, Chutian must register all villagers. Li Kui led four elite infantrymen and two literate officials to conduct house-to-house inspections, as well as those who were good at dealing with villagers.
Elder Li reassured people.
At present, the internal affairs team of the Lord's Mansion mainly consists of the Chief Secretary, the Hu Cao, the Tian Cao, the Gong Cao, the Cang Cao, the City Cao, and the Prison Cao.
The chief clerk manages documents and assists Chu Tian in issuing orders and posting notices. Chu Tian cannot handwrite any notices.
Hu Cao is in charge of registration, weddings, sacrifices, and celebrations.
Tian Cao advises farmers to cultivate mulberry trees, prevent natural and man-made disasters, and also pay attention to land fertility, water conservancy, and locust plagues.
Gongcao, in charge of civil engineering.
Cang Cao, manages the warehouse.
The city manager collects commercial taxes and land rent.
The warden is in charge of justice, prisons and maintaining public security. Currently, he is recruiting 20 township warriors to serve as temporary police officers.
This is the simplest management organization of Xiacun.
A village of 1,500 people cannot support bloated institutions. A few small institutions can ensure the normal operation of the village. And there are too many officials. Xia Cun simply cannot maintain the salaries of the officials.
Chutian still needs to feed an army.
The army is not included in the internal affairs team, but is directly controlled by Chu Tian.
In troubled times, soldiers and food are everything. The internal affairs team helps Chu Tian collect money and food, while the army Chu Tian personally serves as the supreme commander.
Xia Cun's army consisted of 8 light cavalry, 70 elite infantry, and several rural warriors.
The training cycle for light cavalry and elite light infantry is 14 days, and up to 100 people can be trained at one time. Chutian can urgently train a group of infantry before the war, so there is no need to rush to expand the army. The real trouble should be to buy war horses, an ordinary horse
A war horse costs 20 taels of silver. 200 taels of gold can only buy a maximum of 100 war horses, and you can't even feed them.
"Old man, which village are you from?"
Li Kui holds the account book in his left hand and a writing brush in his right hand. It can be said that a minister who is good enough to be the prime minister of a country has to work as a village clerk. Even so, Li Kui still performs his duties seriously and works hard without complaint.
"The villain is the teacher, and these are my two sons. We fled here from Taohua Village, which is twenty miles away. Those yellow scarf thieves burned down our village, but fortunately Xia Village took us in..."
"Truthfully state your name, age, occupation, and whether you have any other living relatives."
"Okay, okay, I'm Wang Sanzhu..."
Li Kui recorded the information of this family in the register.
Now Li Kui manages the households, fields, workers, and prisons at the same time, and he can actually take care of them all.
A minister who can manage a country can even manage a large village of more than a thousand people.
Elder Li helped Li Kui, and his 30 points of politics were simply incomparable to Li Kui's.
With Li Kui handling some trivial matters, Chu Tian can basically act as a hands-off shopkeeper and have more time to concentrate on important things.
Zhao Qi is training Xiangyong, and Wu Shang is leading the hunters to hunt in the nearby mountains and forests to improve the villagers' food. Whether the food is sufficient and whether they can eat meat every ten days and a half, these hidden conditions will affect the people's hearts.
Chu Tian gave Hua Mulan the most elite light cavalry and light infantry for training.
Soldiers can also gain experience through daily training. The experience gained is related to the level of the school and the general's command attribute. The command attribute not only affects the number of troops under command, but also affects the speed of training the army.
For example, if Cao Cao and Dian Wei train a cavalry with an average level of 10 at the same time, one year later Cao Cao's cavalry may have an average level of 50, while Dian Wei's cavalry may only have level 30.
"I have entrusted the Xiaozhu Village Caravan to purchase 22 war horses. Once the war horses arrive, our village will have 30 cavalry and 70 elite infantry. The ratio of military to civilians is 1:15, which is a very stable ratio. Once there is a war, as long as
By preparing half a month in advance, we can temporarily train 100 elite infantrymen, and the ratio will be 1:7.5."
Chu Tian mentioned the military situation in Xia Village to Hua Mulan when she was resting.
The ratio of 1:15 is no longer easy to maintain, because professional soldiers occupy the youngest and strongest workforce. They do not need to work, as long as they receive training every day and upgrade their level.
"The matter of recruiting soldiers depends on the situation. The subordinates are not familiar with internal affairs, but they will lead the troops in war and will not take a step back."
Hua Mulan doesn't care about internal affairs.
The military generals charged at the front, but the lords and civil servants had to deal with a lot of troublesome logistical matters such as recruiting troops, collecting grain, paying military salaries, providing pensions, transporting grain, and so on.
Li Kui spent three days thoroughly investigating all the villagers.
"Village Chief, according to your instructions, register the household registration of everyone in the village. There are 479 households in the village, including 625 men aged from 15 to 60 years old, and 963 women and children. Women can also participate.
Weaving, farming, breeding, fishing and other work.”
"As of now, there are 112 special talents in the village, including teachers, skilled farmers, rangers, doctors, blacksmiths, winemakers, pig farmers, and dancing girls..."
"There are even dancers?"
Chu Tian heard Li Kui's report and found that experts among the people were indeed there. There were actually 112 special talents in a small summer village.
Li Kui nodded very seriously: "Yes."
"Bring them to see me."
"My lord, you must be a wise lord and cannot force the daughters of the people."
"I just want to see what the dancer can do..."
Chu Tian did not expect that Li Kui was still an upright minister and dared to speak out.
Soon the two dancers were brought to Chu Tian. They were quite beautiful: "Folk girls Xiao Zhu and Xiao Qing have met the village chief."
Chutian really called them here just to check the attributes. He casually took a look at Xiaoqing's attributes.
