Shen Shixing soon arrived at Donghunting Pavilion.

"I'm going to see you..."

"No gift."

Shen Shixing had gradually gotten used to Zhu Yili's casualness and sat down at his signal.

"Today, there is an important thing to discuss with Mr. Shen."

"Your Majesty, please tell me." Shen Shixing replied, but thought to himself that he was here to listen to the instructions.

Occasionally, you give a few different opinions, then nod your head and say "Okay" or "Your Majesty's words are reasonable."

As for discussion... hehe, that doesn't exist, he has long been used to this trick.

"I want to use this national census to make the people across the country, from officials to the people, have their own identity certificates."

"Just like the `twort cards, waist cards issued by the court?" Shen Shixing immediately understood.

"Yes, the distribution of tooth cards and waist cards in this dynasty is extremely limited, and it is only for people with a certain status. I want to distribute them to everyone to prove themselves, distinguish others, and eliminate the population of black households."

"Your Majesty has a good idea, but this project is huge..." Shen Shixing said with a smacking voice.

"Although this project is huge, it is not difficult to do." Zhu Yili said slowly, "I call the identity certificate similar to tooth cards and waist cards "Identity card". The ID card is unique and has the same effect as everyone. As long as I do anything after I promulgate, I must issue an ID card, no matter adults or children, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward, and everyone in the world will naturally know that they will go and handle it."

"Your Majesty, but there is a defect in the tooth card and waist card, and it is difficult for people with the same name, surname and position to distinguish them."

"Mr. Shen, I just said that the ID card I need to make is unique. Each person has only one ID card, each ID card has only one number, and each number is unique and can only represent one person."

"Is it the same as the employee of Zhu Group?" Shen Shixing said in a flash.

"Yes, similar." Zhu Yiliu nodded and explained further, "But because of the large population in the country, the number of ID cards must be more complicated."

"Then how do you determine that one person has only one ID number?" Shen Shixing continued to ask.

"The ID card is uniformly assigned by the state and will not change for life. The only identity code is a national legal valid document to prove each person's identity. The code is a feature combination code, consisting of a seventeen-digit ontology code and a one-digit verification code. The arrangement order is from left to right: a six-digit address code, an eight-digit date of birth code, a three-digit sequence code and a one-digit verification code."

"..." Shen Shixing felt that his mind was a little overwhelmed.

"Mr. Shen, come here." Zhu Yiliu waved to Shen Shixing.

Shen Shixing walked to the imperial case.

Zhu Yili wrote a string of numbers: 421126152511181314.

"Mr. Shen, please see, these are eighteen digits. The first six digits 421126 represent each person's birth address. The first two digits 42 represent provinces, the last two digits 11 represent prefectures or states, and the last two 26 represent counties. Is it possible to determine each person in the same place?"

"Yes." Shen Shixing nodded.

"For example: the code name 00, Shuntian Prefecture code name 01, Wanping County code name 12. The first six digits of the ID card of Daming people born in Wanping County are 000112. The 421126 I just wrote, 421126, 42 can represent Huguang, 11 represents Huangzhou Prefecture, and 26 represents Qishui County. Is there no doubt about this?"

"No."

"Okay, look at the last eight digits of the numerical address code, that is, the date and date of each person's birth. Look, the 15251118 I wrote, which means that this person was born in the fourth year of Jiajing, that is, 1525. There is a chronological method involved. I will talk about it later. 1118 means that this person was born on November 18. Isn't this difficult to understand, right?"

“It’s not difficult to understand.”

"Okay, the last four digits, I said that three are sequence codes and one is verification code. Mr. Shen can be regarded as all sequence codes. Because there must be people born on the same year, month and day in the same year, the court needs to uniformly compile a sequence for them. The last four digits are this function, indicating that the order number of people born on the same year, month and day in the same year, month and day in the same year, month and day in the same year. In this way, everyone in the Ming Dynasty will not have people who repeat ID numbers, and everyone has and only has one ID number."

Shen Shixing nodded in understanding.

"After everyone's ID card is confirmed, they can prove themselves and distinguish others, which is conducive to the statistics of the population, eliminate illegal households and missed households, and is naturally conducive to the stability of the country. For example, this time, Wang Xianggan caught the eighteen bandits, and no longer had to worry about not being able to find out their origins. Is this the reason?"

"Yes." Shen Shixing said happily, "Your Majesty is so sensible. The court should have done this long ago."

"The new Minister of Revenue should also take office, right?"

"It's almost there, it seems to be only two days."

"As soon as the Minister of Revenue came, Mr. Shen started this matter. The faster the plan, the better. I have explained just now that the material of the ID card is light and portable, and not easy to wear. This is a big deal. I hope that the people of Daming will all have their own ID cards in the first year of Taihe."

"I understand." Shen Shixing said, "I envoy Wang Xianggan arrested 18 bandits, but I wonder if there is any result in the interrogation?"

"I think it's hard to get a result."

"Oh!" Shen Shixing sighed slightly.

"But Mr. Shen doesn't worry, this case will be solved sooner or later. As long as the policy of ID card is implemented, those who do evil will naturally have nowhere to hide."

"Your Majesty is still very smart and visionary." Shen Shixing said sincerely.

"Okay, the policy on ID cards is decided so that Mr. Shen will implement it as soon as possible."

"I obey the order." Shen Shixing bowed and retreated. When he returned, he excitedly told several cabinet ministers in the cabinet.

All agree.

After all, the benefits of ID cards are self-evident, but it may be difficult to implement and produce them.

However, everyone understands this principle. Once implemented, it will benefit the present and future generations.

So, although this is troublesome, it is worth doing.

Soon, this policy spread in the capital.

Furthermore, the whole country knows that everyone will have their own ID number.

In order to implement it as soon as possible, Zhu Yili issued a decree to Zhang Jiayin, the governor of Northern Zhili: Northern Zhili will take the lead in implementing this national policy to play an exemplary role for the whole country.

Wang Lin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, arrived in Beijing at this time.

The first thing to take over as Minister of Revenue is to implement the national policy of ID card.

Zhu Yili appointed Wang Lin not because he was in the same imperial examination as Zhang Juzheng, but because Wang Lin was proud of his integrity and did not make friends with others, and was quite famous in the officialdom.

The only thing that made Zhu Yiliu feel uncomfortable was that he was still a little old and was in his early sixties.

Zhu Yiliu is more inclined to use young people.

However, this matter cannot be forced. The work of the Ministry of Revenue is very important and it is difficult to find talents!

After Wang Lin arrived in Beijing and handed over to the Ministry of Personnel, he went to the palace to meet him. He had never met Zhu Yiliu before, and Zhu Yiliu did not recognize him.

But like other officials transferred to Beijing, Wang Lin knew something about Zhu Yiliu's reputation.

Especially since Zhu Yiliu was deprived of his title and demoted to a commoner, he didn't care about his previous reputation.

After all, people have to look forward.

On that day, Wang Lin went to the East Warehouse - a place where foreign ministers were not allowed to enter casually.
