After these days, Huo Qingtong is no longer the stupid girl who blushes when she talks to a strange man and is stunned for nothing, she looks like a man and smiles and arches her hands: "I've seen Ambassador Liu." ”

Liu Daku is only the deputy envoy of the warehouse, but except for Dong Ce, whoever sees him must also call Ambassador Liu. Even Shi Jin and Uncle Zhou are no exception. After all, the position of the treasury is too important, and they have to deal with almost all the institutions - copper and iron powder in the workshop, weapons, clothes, bedding, and even bedding and wooden planks needed in the camp, and rice and white noodles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the canteen...... And so on and so forth.

Because according to the rules set by Dong Ce, after some materials needed by an institution are purchased, they must be put into storage first. Take the workshop as an example, the copper and iron, gunpowder, instruments and tools used in the workshop are all bought back and stored in the warehouse, and then when needed, the people in the workshop will report to Dong Ce, and after getting the note approved by Dong Ce, they will go to the workshop to receive the materials.

That's pretty much how it works.

Although this makes the whole procedure more troublesome, it is effective to avoid waste by using how much to receive, and there are discrepancies, each stroke is traceable, there are accounts to check, and if something goes wrong, you can directly pursue the responsibility. It is also possible to avoid some people who are in charge of things, and they are up and down. The most important thing is to make Dong Ce easily hold all the supplies in his own hands, so that he can be fully controlled, so that he will not leave his sight.

Because of its important status, the people in the treasury naturally rose.

However, Liu Daku also knew that Huo Qingtong's status was a little detached, and he was very trusted by adults-in his heart, he thought that it was more appropriate to use the word 'favor' - naturally he didn't dare to slack off. The two smiled and said a few words, and Liu Daku asked these big cars to stop outside the yard and line up. It's also a shame that Huo Qingtong's small courtyard is empty around it, and there are few other households, otherwise it really can't be arranged.

Then he had a table and a chair set up outside the door, and a chair beside him, and beckoned to the Kuding coachmen to unload the bales of grain, and piled them up like hills.

Huo Qingtong faced everyone and said loudly: "Everyone, I have this food on hand, and I want to send it to you." Now, one by one, come and put the cotton and the braided nail leaves in your hands on the table, and when I have seen it, if nothing goes wrong, you can take the food and go home!" ”

The women below agreed in a mess, saying everything, but Huo Qingtong couldn't really hear it.

She sat down behind the table, pointed to the woman at the front, and said, "Come, bring me your stickers first, and then put your things on the table." ”

The so-called household sticker is actually the ancient household registration book.

Not only did the census exist in later generations, but it also existed in ancient times. At the beginning of almost every dynasty, a very large, nationwide census was conducted. In ancient times, the main purpose was to collect taxes - to check how many households, how many mouths, and how many acres of land there were in the country, because the carriers of taxation in ancient times were nothing more than two kinds, one was the Dingkou tax levied by households as the carrier, and the other was the land tax levied by the land as the carrier. Therefore, in order to ensure the finances of the imperial court, it is necessary to check the household registration.

The ancestors have long understood the importance of population statistics, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Guan Zhong of Qi State said: "If you don't know how to count and want to lift a big thing, you still have no boat to pass through the water, and it is dangerous." He not only carried out the normal demographic statistics of "comparing books in spring, schedules in summer, and great records in autumn, and the number of people who died and died," but also paid attention to investigating the quality of the population, such as how many rations each peasant could provide, how many men and women with special skills, how many widowers, widows, and sick people were, and so on. The merchant martingale of the Qin State also ordered the total population of the country to be counted according to thirteen categories, such as strong men, strong women, officials, merchants, scholars, and the disabled, which is the famous "thirteen numbers of strong countries" in history.

The matter of checking the household registration was as early as thousands of years ago in the era of Yao Shunyu, and the "Historical Records" contained: "Yuping water and soil, setting Kyushu, counting the number of people." This count, in fact, is the census, it is said that Dayu ruled the water, after the world was calm, a population survey was conducted.

In the first five years of Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty, a nationwide "population census" was also conducted, and the "Hanshu Geographical Chronicles" said that there were 12,220,000 and 2,062 households in the country at that time, and there were 14,978 people in Wu Qianjiu and Wu Jiujiu.

But this thing is a new word, and it only appeared during the reign of Taizu Hongwu of this dynasty.

In November of the third year of Hongwu, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang conducted a huge census of the national population. After the inventory, a household post is prepared for each household, and the first stamp on the post is "Qin Feng Shengzhi", and then the basic information of the head of the household and family members, such as name and age, and also accompanied by notes such as "property" and "household", that is, it also records the family's identity, occupation, and financial resources. For example, indicate whether it is a "military household", "civilian household" or "artisan household", etc.

This kind of household post is well documented, the earliest "household registration book" in the world.

Since the Hongwu Dynasty, this thing has been used. It's just that in this era, no matter what the system is, no matter how strict it is at the beginning, it will slowly slack off, and even gradually die out. With the passage of time, the people have migrated and changed, some families have grown in population and their children and grandchildren have prospered, some have scarce human nature, and even gradually died out, some have more land, and some have become tenants...... Some military households were admitted to Xiucai, and they were admitted to the Jinshi and became the first assistant of the cabinet, some of the civilian households committed crimes and were exiled by the whole family, and some artisan households could not survive and defected to Li Zicheng......

The entire Ming Dynasty is changing and flowing, not to mention the people in it? In the following dynasties, there was no large-scale inventory, so those household stickers gradually lost their effect and became waste paper. Every few years, the county will re-register the households in the villages and towns below the yamen by the households in one of the six houses under the yamen and the grain chiefs in each locality as the basis for taxation.

However, after Dong Ce established the Rock Fort, he re-established this system, re-registered each household, and issued a household sticker to each household - this is conducive to him to control everyone in his hands, not only knowing how many people under his own hands, but also being able to mobilize manpower and material resources relatively quickly and purposefully once something happens.

It is worth mentioning that from beginning to end, Dong Ce did not use any other people, Ji Changyun did it alone, from visiting door to door to writing household stickers to unified registration - although he had a Song Heilang by his side as a follower, but he was illiterate and could not help in such matters.

When the copper coins and cotton were distributed at the beginning, everyone came forward to receive them with their own household stickers, and as long as they received them, Huo Qingtong put a small seal on her household stickers. This is also done to prevent fraudulent collars and over-collars.

"Yes, yes."

The fat lady had a face full of flesh and a fierce face, I was afraid that she was an unreasonable master inside and outside the house, but she didn't dare to play tricks in front of Huo Qingtong. She answered, first took out the household sticker from her arms and showed it to Huo Qingtong, and then put the burden in her hand on the table, untied the button, and took out the contents in the same way.

More than a dozen cotton pads, fifty-three large nail leaves.

Huo Qingtong pointed to a Kuding next to him and ordered, "Weigh these things first and see if the weight is right." ”

"Yes."

The Kuding answered, put the cotton pads in the weighing pan, dialed the scales, looked at them, and said, "Thirteen pounds." ”

Then he put all those big nail leaves in and said, "Eighteen catties and six taels." ”

"Well, that's it." Huo Qingtong nodded.

At the beginning, each woman was given twenty pounds of cotton, and these cotton pieces were to be broken into thirteen pounds of cotton. Eighteen pounds and two taels of copper coins were issued, and these copper coins were to be woven into fifty-three nail leaves. And because it is woven into a nail leaf, in addition to the copper coin, there is also hemp rope, which is quite strong, and naturally has a certain weight. Huo Qingtong took out the one he made and weighed it before, and it should be eighteen catties and six taels.

At least this woman did not cheat on this, and hacked some copper coins privately.

Huo Qingtong took the cotton sheet in her hand, the cotton sheet was not thick, but it was very strong, she pulled it to both sides, but she felt that the lines did not move, and she tore it a few times, only feeling very tough. Then she glanced at the section of the cotton sheet, thick and thin, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then she took the piece in her hand again.

About the size of a palm, the thickness of two copper coins stacked together, the hemp rope is wound around in the hole of Brother Fang Kong, which is not very complicated, but it is simple and powerful. The hemp rope was very close, and when I held these copper coins firmly in my hand, I felt heavy and tight in my hand. Huo Qingtong tried to swing it, but it was very firm and difficult to move.

She glanced at the huge woman with some surprise, but she didn't expect this guy to look stupid, but his kung fu was quite dexterous.

Originally, the four corners of this large nail leaf needed to be fixed with a rivet, and these rivets traditionally combined the cotton pads on both sides and the nail leaf in the middle, firmly bonding them, but these women obviously did not have such skills and strength. Therefore, these cotton pads and nail leaves still have to be sent to the workshop, and those professional craftsmen will complete the final process. After carefully checking them one by one, Huo Qingtong waved his hand: "Not bad." She opened the roster, found the woman's name, and crossed a mark after her name, and she was done.
