Qi County, Zhangqiu.

Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Du Ruhui, the county governor, convened a meeting of the county officials, and asked the officials to set an example and take the lead in paying off the rent arrears in the past, as well as the grain in the righteous warehouse.

Du Ruhui said that if even the officials and officials are not able to pay off their debts, then how can the local wealthy and powerful households be willing to pay off their debts.

Luo Cheng, as a nine-grade official in this county, naturally has to take the lead. And the Luo family, which is all in the county, is also concerned by everyone.

In order to let Luo Cheng set this example, before the Chinese New Year, Du Ruhui specially approved 200 acres of Yongye land for Luo Cheng's officials and 200 acres of land for officials.

The three servants, who should have been drawn to him a long time ago, were also assigned to him.

"Shicheng, you are an official now, and your identity is different, so you must pay more attention to the influence. In the past, your family also had arrears, and this time you have to take the lead in paying it off, anyway, for you now, that arrears is nothing. Du Ruhui said, "There is one more thing, you are now an official, your three brothers also have official status, and the two brothers are also officials in the county, so it is best to separate the household." ”

According to the general folk custom, in the general family, the father dies, or the grandson becomes an adult, and only the father and son generations of the family will not be separated. But after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the hidden households were investigated, and the appearance of the book was carried out. It is stipulated that if the great merit is not achieved, it must be separated and set up a separate account.

Dagong is a mourning dress system, which refers to relatives of the same grandfather.

Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, official legislation was made on the separation of families, requiring families of more than three generations to be separated.

This is completely contrary to the later Tang Dynasty, which legislated that parents should not separate their families, and strictly forbade their sons to separate their families while their parents were alive, otherwise it would be unfilial, and included such behavior among the ten heinous sins, which should be severely punished.

This may be the reason why the Tang Dynasty paid attention to establishing the country with filial piety, although Tang Taizong killed his brother and slaughtered his brother, forced his father to abdicate, and put him under house arrest in the deep palace, but he just wanted to talk about establishing the country with filial piety.

The Sui Dynasty was different, at the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, especially in the Kanto region, that is, the former Northern Qi region, the people were very uncooperative, and they hid their household registration at every turn, or deceived the old and the young. What does it mean? It is not to register the household registration and to be a black account. Or registered, but obviously a young man of 30 years old, he is only seven or eight years old unless he is registered, or he simply registers himself as 70 or 80 years old.

The reason for this, of course, is to avoid the tax on servitude.

Because the foundation of the tax system of the Great Sui was based on Ding, the state gave land to the people, and then taxed Ding Nan and sent labor. After the land is divided, Ding Nan needs to pay rent and adjustment, and the old and young do not need to pay rent and adjust, nor do they need to serve.

And if it is a black household, naturally there is no need to pay rent and transfer to service.

Therefore, the imperial court was very dissatisfied with this, and then sent the local government to strictly check the household registration, and also specifically asked the local officials to check the age registered on the household registration and their own physical appearance, and check whether they lied about their age and deceived the old and the young. If there is any falsehood, the chief of the security department and others will be punished, which is a big Suo Xiangyue.

Through this method, hundreds of thousands of new households and more than one million people were added that year.

Later, it was also required to divide the household because although the rent collection and distribution of the Great Sui was based on Ding, some miscellaneous Yao apportionment, etc., were based on the household.

For example, Yicang grain, Yicang grain is a kind of reserve granary set up by the imperial court, so that the local people can pay a certain amount of grain every year, and then prepare for famine.

Originally, it was voluntary to pay as much as you wanted, but later the imperial court stipulated the standard of paying grain, which must be paid, and everyone had to pay. Later, it was stipulated that landless merchants and others also had to be paid, so how to pay it? Settle households, etc., according to the amount of your family's property, to determine the grade, and then pay the corresponding amount of grain every year according to the corresponding grade.

Now, it has become necessary to pay grain according to the mu and to produce grain according to the household.

In this way, if you have four or five generations of people in the same family and register one household, then the government will have to charge a lot less. Even many miscellaneous factions in the local area are levied on a household-by-household basis, and the number of levies will be affected by the small number of households.

Therefore, the imperial court specifically stipulated that the following merits must be divided into households.

However, because of folk customs, the imperial court legislated on the one hand to require the division of households below the great merit, and on the other hand, encouraged everyone to live together and share wealth.

That is, you have to go to the government to divide the households, and each get an account, but the government encourages you to live happily and harmoniously together, live together, and share property.

In short, this not only meets the needs of taxation and servitude to the imperial court, but also takes care of everyone's living traditions.

Luo Cheng's family is now two generations.

"Didn't you take in a righteous son and a righteous daughter?" Du Ruhui said.

Before Luo Cheng accepted the four Kan Ling and also registered them, who would have expected that this would also become a reason for splitting the family.

"Actually, it doesn't affect you anything, just set up a few separate accounts here, and then how you want to live or how you live, it will not be affected."

"If you want to talk about the impact, at most it is just to pay some money for the charity warehouse more than a year."

Officials do not have to pay rent and pay for service, but Yicang grain is paid by the prince and below. Even those who are widowed and disabled have to pay the same.

This kind of righteous grain is actually the prototype of modern land tax.

As an official, Luo Cheng certainly couldn't refuse Du Ruhui's request, and it was indeed not much money. After all, he is now also a big bureaucrat with thousands of acres of fertile land.

So the next day.

Luo Cheng's family went to the household division to handle the division of household registration.

Originally, Luo Cheng would just take four righteous children to divide them, but after thinking about it, he would simply divide the households.

According to the division law of the Sui Dynasty, there are three divisions of the family, the first is to divide the family, that is, the parents are still there, leaving the young son to live with the parents, and the rest of the sons are divided into separate accounts.

There is also a method of dividing the family, which is called birth division, the parents are still there, all the children are separated, and the parents are supported by the sons in turn, and when the parents die, the property is divided equally among the brothers.

The last division method is that when the parents are alive, they do not divide the family, and when the parents are old or on their deathbed, they will explain the aftermath in advance, divide the family property, etc., and divide the children according to this after the death, which is called pre-division.

Regardless of the division method, the division must have a presiding officer, a witness, a guarantor, etc., and the father and son of the separated family must sign and put their fingerprints, and they can even ask the government to send officials to do justice.

The document of separation is legally effective, and whoever dares not admit it afterwards will make trouble if he wants to divide more points, and the yamen can arrest and punish him.

"Why don't you brothers set up an account each."
