Chapter 295 Household registration is converted to temporary worker and peasant registration!
“What kind of decision-making power do you give us? Can’t we just listen to what you say?”
“Yes, we have to listen to what the government does first.”
“.”
Someone in the lobby was complaining.
The government seems to have given them the decision-making power, but in fact it has not been given at all.
But he made a very strong statement that the kitchen households are gone and they will never be kitchen households again.
What choice do they have?
Xia Zhibai continued to shake his head and said: "It is true that there are no kitchen households, but if you insist on using 'local methods' to make salt, you can still do it, but it will be very difficult to make a living, and it is not even possible to use it. This is a way to make a living.”
“The only thing we can hope for is that in the future, the ‘Iron Horse’ will connect the world and the ancient method of making salt will become a tourist attraction for people from other places.”
"And this is destined to take a while."
"With your current situation, you probably won't be able to survive until then."
"The kitchen household system will indeed no longer exist."
“It is not impossible to continue to live in the past life, but it requires more efforts and diligence than before, and it may not even be able to support the family. The government has taken this into consideration and therefore does not Agree.”
“Of course, if you insist, the government won’t say anything else.”
"What I want now are people who are willing to listen to the government's suggestions."
"The government will only find a way out for these people."
Li Dali, Deng Muzi and other kitchen households looked at each other. It is obviously impossible to continue to live according to the old way. The salt market is now completely occupied. Their salt cannot be sold at all, and they are not qualified to sell salt. As for what Xia Zhibai said, it depends on others to see it. , they couldn’t understand what it was.
It is even more impossible to choose.
Fang Erniu looked around a few times and said in a low voice: "It's better to listen to the government."
"If the government really doesn't want to be a good person, then it will be fine if we don't listen. Anyway, the legs and feet are on us."
"The government can't force us to agree, right?"
Li Dali confronts Deng Muzi After taking one look, he had no choice but to nod.
Deng Muzi said: "Yes, we are willing to follow the government's advice, but if the government's advice is not good, or if we do not accept it, the government cannot force us to agree, let alone threaten us directly."
Li Dali said: "Not only that, the government cannot harm our family."
"Yes, the trouble does not harm the family. If one person does something, one person will be blamed. If the government is really unhappy with us, they can come directly to us and don't bully our wives and children." A kitchen household in the lobby said angrily.
Xia Zhibai Xiran smiled and said: "You are worrying too much."
"The government is just giving you suggestions and will not force you to comply."
"But if If you don't agree, you don't have to come to the government again if you have any dissatisfaction. "
"Okay!" Someone nodded and agreed.
Xia Zhibai smiled slightly, nodded with satisfaction and said: "First point, the kitchen household system has been clearly abolished. It just needs time to be issued by the various chief secretaries, but it should be completed within this year and next two years."
"Your household registration has been changed from 'zao household' to temporary 'worker and peasant'."
"Worker and peasant, as the name suggests, is the main household registration, which means that within a period of time, you can both engage in You can also engage in "farming" related work, and your options will be greatly expanded, but I also said in advance that the government needs to be stable."
"I won't let you jump repeatedly."
“One moment I think this is good and do this, and the next moment I feel tired and want to change to another one.”
"This is not allowed."
"Once confirmed, the household registration will be determined accordingly."
"Your 'worker and peasant' registration at that time will also be canceled and changed to clear "Do you have any opinions on this?"
Li Dali and others were stunned when they heard about the temporary 'worker and peasant' registration.
They knew about the cancellation of Zao household registration.
But allowing them to choose freely is still somewhat beyond their expectations.
You can work as a worker or farm.
This means they can do most jobs.
The constraints that originally restricted them were suddenly gone, giving them a huge choice.
However, they still have self-awareness. As kitchen households, they basically do basic things. If they want to be more greedy, such as studying and trying to become scholars, they are still not allowed. Although they have expectations in their hearts, they do not dare to Go ask.
Xia Zhibai has been given a lot of leeway, and if he pushes further, if he angers the imperial envoy, he might even take back what he promised at the moment.
“Yes.”
“I accept this.”
“As long as the government keeps its word, I will definitely agree.” “.”
Xia Zhibai smiled lightly.
It is expected that these kitchen households agree.
The biggest problem they had before was that they were deeply restricted by household registration.
Now that restrictions are being lifted and they are given the opportunity to choose freely, how can they object?
Xia Zhibai said: "Since you all agreed, it will be easy. Now there are still two paths before you. One is to stay locally and engage in 'worker and peasant' related work. If you want to farm, you can go nearby To reclaim the barren land, the government will provide certain agricultural tools and seeds, and will also lend you a certain amount of money and grain. You can also continue to stay in your hometown. "
"As for the second way."
“You have actually heard it.”
“It means going north.”
“The local area cannot accommodate so many kitchen households.”
"The only thing the government can do is to provide you with certain conveniences for reclamation and allow you to find what you want to do. As for whether it can be done, the government will not care. However, I would also like to remind you that there are many people in the south, and many aspects are already saturated. , it’s very difficult for you to get involved.”
“It seems difficult to make a living for a long time except by reclaiming wasteland yourself.”
“The north is vast and sparsely populated, and the imperial court can provide enough. There are so many fields that you don’t have to cultivate yourself.”
“Some of you can even work in salt factories, coal plants and other factories in the north, or go north to work in other industries. The pressure you face is the same. The resistance will be much smaller than in the south.”
“The decision is still yours.”
"Those who are nostalgic for their hometown and do not want to go north can freely choose to make a living in their hometown."
There was another commotion in the lobby.
Everyone whispered to each other, with a bit of reluctance in their eyes.
Many people cannot accept leaving their homeland.
But reclaiming wasteland is still a way, but many of them have a good reputation and are worried about whether they will be picked on by the government. Now the government can ignore it because the people from the court are there. If the people from the court are there, Now that people are gone, do those petty officials really not come to trouble them?
They don't believe it.
Since ancient times, imps have always been difficult to deal with.
But once you choose to go north, you have no control over it.
Life and death fell into the hands of the government.
No one knew about being killed halfway, and it was a question whether they could take root after leaving their hometown. It was said that Mongolians from the north went south from time to time, and they really didn't want to face the extremely ferocious Mongols.
This discussion has not ended for a long time.
Xia Zhibai did not rush.
Just wait here quietly for their discussion to end.
This itself is a dilemma.
Today's Han people are different from those of later generations. They are very resistant to leaving their hometown. Unless it is an emergency, they absolutely do not want to leave home. Moreover, after living here for so long, it is difficult to go to a place with a single person. Being in an unfamiliar place, I was completely blind.
The uneasiness and fear are unspeakable.
After struggling for a moment, Fang Erniu said in a low voice: "I won't leave, I will stay in Yuhang. I am so old, and I am afraid that half of my life will be lost if I keep struggling. It’s a lot of work. I can open a few acres of farmland a little further away and be able to support my family.”
Deng Muzi looked at Fang Erniu deeply and nodded.
He actually has this plan too.
It was just Li Dali’s words that reminded him that they were different from Fang Erniu. They had been a thorn in the side of the government for a while. If they continued to stay in the local area, there was no guarantee that they would not be targeted by the government. The sky is not responding and the earth is not functioning properly.
For the safety of their families and to completely get rid of the influence of the government, they had no choice but to go north.
Deng Muzi said: "Uncle Fang, you stay, we will go north."
"I can't help it."
"As the leader of the trouble, I stay Something might happen."
Fang Erniu nodded and said, "I understand, it's okay if you leave. If you don't leave, I'm afraid the government will be afraid. Who knows when you can't figure it out and start making trouble again? Now that we are gone, both the government and you can feel at ease.”
"What about your wife, children, and children?"
"This bumpy journey is not so easy to bear."
Deng Muzi smiled bitterly: "I, the head of the family, are gone, how can they do it? Don’t you want to go along?”
“It’s just that we used to make salt as a family, and now I have to rely on myself to make a living. I don’t know what the government will do there.”
“What a big deal. , go farming!”
"You are a seven-foot man after all. As long as you work hard, you can't starve to death."
"Alas." Fang Erniu sighed: "This is the only way."
