    Officials from all over the Ming Dynasty were busy with the census, and Liu Jin, who was in the center of the capital, was also busy and dizzy during this period of time.

    Matters involving population are originally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Liu Jin is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. It stands to reason that he has nothing to do with Liu Jin's affairs. However, the Ministry of Household Affairs is Liu Jin's old employer. Not long ago, Liu Jin was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

    In addition, Liu Jin proposed to conduct a census, so the Minister of Household Affairs, Ji Zhong, also asked Emperor Hongzhi for orders, asking Liu Jin to help complete the census.

    Well, the census does not actually require Liu Jin to do too many things. After formulating the contents of the census, the officials below will naturally do it.

    The real problem is the issue of identity cards and level classification.

    The first thing is the matter of identity cards. According to Liu Jin¡¯s suggestion, after the census, every citizen of the Ming Dynasty must be enthroned and issued a unified identity card.

    ??In fact, it is similar to the ID card of later generations. Only with this thing can one be considered a truly legal Ming Dynasty person. He can enjoy the rights of a Ming Dynasty person and at the same time perform the obligations that a Ming Dynasty person should perform.

    But we all know that even though an ID card is just a small card, it contains a lot of technical content. In the Ming Dynasty, it was not an easy task to create an identity card.

    What¡¯s more, in ancient times, without photography technology, identity cards actually didn¡¯t mean much.

    But Liu Jin believes that ID badges still need to be issued and issued, because in the future, the census will become a regular task, with a census conducted every ten years.

    The Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty before. With the advent of the capitalist era and the colonial era, the flow of population will become more frequent, and the exchanges between various places will become more intensive.

    The Ming Dynasty could no longer implement a strict household registration system to restrict the flow of the population as before. Factories, workshops, trading houses, sea ships, overseas colonization, etc. all needed people. After all, official organizations were limited, and ultimately they had to rely on private spontaneity.  to complete.

    Therefore, it has become inevitable to relax restrictions on population movement. This system of identity cards is also a system that has become popular in all countries in the world in later generations.

    Maybe the conditions are not yet mature and the technology is underdeveloped, but this is a trend. Since it is a trend, we must follow the development of the trend.

    Having an identity card not only facilitates the flow of the population, but also facilitates the management of the floating population. More importantly, it can distinguish different levels.

    "Now it seems that we can only use steel and use steam stamping to make this ID badge."

    In Liu Jin¡¯s office, Liu Jin looked at the plan for making identity tags proposed by the Ministry of Industry and pondered carefully.

    ¡°The identity tag must not only contain name, place of origin, age, identity number, and ethnicity, but also must have special anti-counterfeiting measures that cannot be easily copied.¡±

    "Well, the most important thing is to reflect the level of citizens. The level should be displayed on it."

    Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help but think deeply.

    Identity tags are still a trivial matter. Now that the steam engine has been developed, many processes that were previously impossible can now be easily done. It is not difficult to use steam stamping to make identity tags.

    The thing that troubles Liu Jin the most now is the matter of citizen status. This matter was raised by Liu Jin himself, so naturally Emperor Hongzhi asked Liu Jin to handle it.

    "I haven't done anything serious."

    Liu Jin sighed helplessly, as if he had never done any serious work since he became an official.

    When he was first in the Hanlin Academy, Emperor Hongzhi asked Liu Jin, a civilian official, to fight in the war. After the war, he transferred himself as a civilian official to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to be responsible for the reform of the military system. Later, he went to the Ministry of Revenue to fight again, and continued to work.  Only by talking about tax reform can we consider ourselves doing our job.

    Now when we got to the Ministry of Personnel, we actually started working on the Ministry of Household Affairs again. My official examination at the end of the year in Chengdu was about to begin.

    Liu Jin picked up the pen and began to write slowly on the paper.

    The first-class citizens are naturally Han people, and all Han people in the Ming Dynasty are first-class citizens.

    Second-class citizens are non-Han citizens who have changed their surnames to Chinese names, are proficient in Ming dialect, respect Confucianism and Taoism, and can write more than 500 Chinese characters.

    Third-class citizens are non-Han citizens who have changed their surnames to Chinese names, can only speak some Ming Dynasty Mandarin, but are not proficient in it, and do not know Chinese characters.

    The fourth-class citizens did not change their Chinese surnames, nor did they take surnames.??, there are no restrictions for second-class citizens and first-class citizens.  "

    ¡°As for slaves, all slaves¡¯ travel must be strictly restricted and must be accompanied by the slave master or with a written explanation issued by the slave master.¡±

    "Slave~ Well, slaves also need to develop a promotion channel."

    ¡°As long as a slave has worked conscientiously for his master for more than twenty years or has made significant contributions, and has no bad records, after the master¡¯s application and the review of the local government, he can be separated from his slave status and obtain fourth-class citizenship.¡±

    Thinking of slaves, Liu Jin silently wrote this paragraph again.

    Although slaves are the property of slave owners, they are still human beings after all. Since they are human beings, they cannot be treated like livestock. Some hope must be given. With hope, slaves will have fewer outbreaks.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
