Chapter 1311 How many people does Daming have?
The employees of Zhu Group were gathering together and talking about the ID card issue.
"Does we still need to apply for an ID card?"
"Yes, the ID card seems to be the same as the working grade of our group employees."
"It still takes ten cents to do it. I heard that many people are unwilling to do it."
“…”
At first, the employees of Zhu Group also hesitated a lot and did not realize the importance of their ID cards.
Wang Heng was responsible for answering their questions and answering questions, "Of course we have to do it, and we have to do it. This is a national policy issued by Your Majesty. How can the ID card be the same as our working grade? The ID card is unique and is used all over the country. In the future, no matter where we go, we must show our ID card."
"This is not only a matter of our need to cooperate with Your Majesty, but also involves the foundation of each of us. When the ID card system is implemented, it will be difficult to move without an ID card. No matter how busy we are, we have to put down our work and go to the yamen to handle it as soon as possible. Sooner or later, we will do this and cannot escape."
"Also, the ID number is unique, and it is actually easy to remember. For example, Jiangling County, Jingzhou Prefecture, Huguang, the first six digits are the same as the codes, and the last eight digits are their respective birthday numbers. The only thing to remember is the last four digits. It is best for everyone to remember their own numbers after applying for an ID card. In the future, the ID card is more important than your name."
"Your Majesty's policy has been issued. We don't care about other places. Anyway, our employees of Zhu Group must cooperate fully and strive to complete them all within three days. Don't be reluctant to leave this small ten cents. Remember, the Zhu Group's industrial brand is only valid in Zhu Group. If placed in other places, it cannot represent an individual. Only an ID card can be used at any time or anywhere."
With Wang Heng's interpretation, the employees of Zhu's Group naturally had nothing to say and went to the yamen to handle the matter.
But in many places, there are still people who don’t understand this initiative, after all, this is a new thing.
Especially the poor people in the world, if they ask them to pay ten cents to apply for their ID cards, it is like chopping them with a knife and letting them go blood.
"What do ordinary people want this thing? They can't eat it as food, and they have to pay for it out of their own pocket."
"That's right, ten cents are so big for poor people! I'm too lazy to do it for free, so I just want to ask for a card, right?"
"We are not like those high-ranking officials, officials and landlords. They need to come in and out of various social engagements. It is understandable that they need something to prove their identity, but what is the use of our ID cards?"
"If you don't do it, don't do it. The court asked me to apply for an ID card, and it would be almost the same for me to pay ten cents."
“…”
There are many people who think like this.
In the minds of many people, "identity card" is worthy of possession of talents with status and status.
Indeed, that was the case before.
Moreover, this book is also human nature. When there are advantages to take advantage of it, it flocks to it; but when you feel that you are going to suffer losses, you will always find various reasons to refuse or even abuse it.
However, there are always some rational people, even among poor people. Such people see farther than ordinary people, and are more tolerant of new things, and are often called opinion leaders.
"You must not miss the ID card. Although we don't have to travel far, we may have spent our entire lives in this corner, but the country will soon share the land and land for us. I'll ask if you want it?"
"What? Do I need an ID card to divide the land and land?"
"Of course, without an ID card, it means being an illegal household. How could the country distribute land to you? Beizhili came from this idea."
"We have to apply for an ID card in this way?"
"Well, it's a must. This is the national policy issued by the emperor. The ID card is unique and means that everyone has their own legal status and legal basis for their existence in the Ming Dynasty. No matter where they do, we will have to show our ID card."
In this way, you can't take the land. If you can't share the land because you can't bear to give up ten cents, then it's self-evident which one is more important and which one is less expensive.
After some deliberation and discussion, people all over the world flocked to government offices where ID cards can be processed.
The poor people in the world are also very active, after all, they all hope that the country will share the land with them as soon as possible.
Of course, there are still people who have not figured it out or who really can't pay out ten cents.
But it's only a few.
Therefore, when the ID card is implemented, it is relatively easier to cut off the unconditional supply of royal relatives and other national policies compared with the plan to clear the fields and equalize the fields.
Although the task is also very large, this is not that difficult to do. Just collect personal information and use the designed mold to make a metal card that proves your identity.
With the implementation of the ID card system, it can also promote a more accurate census of the national population.
Shortly after Zhu Yiliu ascended the throne, he issued an order to survey the national population and later counted the number of military households. However, because of the excessive number of black households and refugees, the numbers in both aspects have not been fully calculated.
In fact, it is very difficult to census population without an ID card, not to register everyone, and not to determine their uniqueness.
Even if you can count a number, it is just a general number and will not be very accurate.
This is why there has been no conclusion on how many people there are in the Ming Dynasty.
This has always been very controversial.
For example: According to the "Ming Shilu", the peak population of the Ming Dynasty was 71.85 million, but most scholars believed that it actually exceeded 100 million, and some scholars pointed out that the population of the late Ming Dynasty was close to 200 million.
The peak of the Ming Dynasty household registration occurred in the late Ming Dynasty, and there was basically no objection to this conclusion.
However, different scholars have different opinions on the specific time point and population number.
Some people believed that the population was more than 60 million at the end of the Ming Dynasty, some people believed that the actual population was about 100 million, and some people believed that the population of the Ming Dynasty peaked during the Wanli period, with the actual population between 130 million and 150 million. Some people even believed that there was about 197 million people, and speculated that the population bottom was about 120 million during the Ming and Qing dynasties in 1655.
Therefore, there is no clear number of the population of the Ming Dynasty, and no one will know clearly.
Even if a data is obtained as recorded in the "Ming Shilu", it is not accurate, because there were many black households and refugees in the Ming Dynasty, and it is difficult for black households and refugees to be included in the official data.
By implementing the ID card system and paralleling the census population, Zhu Yiliu hopes to get a relatively accurate number about the population of the Ming Dynasty.
It can only be said that it is relatively accurate, after all, even in strict capital, it cannot be checked accurately.
Look at Zheng Miaojin's father Zheng Chengxian, aren't there two husbands hidden in him and not found out? There must be some such phenomenon, and it is definitely not an isolated case.
But no matter what, there is no doubt that the implementation of the ID card system and the census of the population will benefit the country and the people. Zhu Yiliu's goal will be completed in the first year of Taihe.
