Chapter 77: Night Chat 6

I remember that Cao Muwen also saw a picture of the "family cards" in a book introducing Wang Shouren: the cards of Baohu Tangjia belong to the latter, and the ninth card of Baohu Tangjia. Li Gaoqi, the parent of this family, is 69 years old and is from Zhangzhou. Wife Zhou, Zi Mingtong, concubine Diao, Guan Shi, Nvxing, Fa, sister-in-law Chen, nephew Jiudao, younger brother Mingchang, 51 years old, younger brother-in-law Diao. Liao Qinghe, the chief security chief. It was given in November of the eighth year of Tongzhi. Hang it with wooden plates." The names of Li Gaoqi and his wife, two concubines and children are written in detail here. This registration method is also known as "smoking door number". Tobacco household means human household registration, which means household registration in today's words. The Qinghui Code has a detailed explanation of this in the "Ministry of Household Affairs and Shilang Zhiwu": "The household registration of the world, all provinces and households of all colors, have a department to check its number and report to the department, called tobacco households." That is to say, the household registration reported to the government for the record is called a tobacco household. As for the registered population that has not been declared to the government, it can only be called "black households" in the past and now.

The armor protection system is a system formulated and vigorously implemented by the government, so when printing house plates in various places, there are more notices of the county and stamped with the official seal, which is regarded as solemn. The notice published on the plate in the main hall of Qingyuan County, Guangdong Province in the second year of Guangxu is an example: "What is the main hall of Qingyuan County? In order to investigate the issue of door cards to Baojia: today, the urban and rural market city is instructed to identify the household registration of all gentry, fathers and villagers and streets, fill in and hang them on the plates for inspection. If there is a person who is a traitor and a bandit, he will report to the official for investigation. Everyone should abide by it. This kind of house card was the concrete manifestation of the so-called "ten card methods" at that time. Today, it has been divided into two parts and has become the house number and household register of the streets and alleys. The former is used to identify and search, and is still hanging at the intersection of homes and streets; while the latter is used to prove your existence and identity, which is your household registration certificate.

The armor protection system in traditional society no longer exists, and the government no longer needs to rely on the armor protection system to supervise taxation and corvée. After the establishment of New China, the government's administrative institutions have been established at the township level, and the administrative agencies have completely replaced the previous armor protection system and undertaken the state's management of civil society and taxation in rural areas. Expropriation. However, the household registration system inherited from the Baojia system is still a means of control over urban and rural residents, restricting people's free movement and population flow, which is a manifestation that people have not fundamentally got rid of feudal personal attachment.

So, if you think that there is no feudal armor protection system today, it's too... naive! You just need to open the drawer and find out the household register of your family. This is the remnants of feudalism. Where does it come from? At first, it was the method of protecting armor from the Song Dynasty, but in the Ming Dynasty, it was transformed by Wang Shouren to adapt to the chaotic society in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. So, if you don't understand, open the household book and you will understand everything.

When Cao Muwen thought of this, he was a little excited. His household registration book could not be found for a long time... But today, it is really a fateful trick to witness the original founder of the household registration system talking to him about this! Cao Muwen swallowed his saliva and asked, "Our Ming Dynasty has also been following the armor protection system of the Song Dynasty to assist in the management of counties and townships, but for the younger generation, there are also many ills today."

"Exactly, you're right." Wang Shouren immediately replied, "At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the methods of protecting armor were all from the Song Dynasty, and some places even passed the original, but I didn't know that it was influenced by the Yuan generation. The current situation is not as good as before. Wang Shouren said slowly.

"Your Excellency, what you said is that some things are not achieved overnight. Many things are not obtained after careful consideration and multi-party discussion." Cao Muwen replied after thinking about it.

"Mu Wen, you are naturally right. I have also discussed the reform of the current law of armor protection. Although Luo Qinshun and I have many differences in the 'study of temperament', and there are often arguments in letters, this does not prevent me from my appreciation of his literary talent and ideas, of course..." Wang Shouren said here and smiled, "He also thinks so about me. Ha ha."

"Ha ha, whether you or Lord Luo Qinshunluo, you are all seniors, and no matter who you are younger, you are out of reach."

"You boy can also speak." Wang Shouren smiled and drank another glass of wine. "I have had the idea of improving the armor protection method for a long time, but I have to think about it from a long time. However, long-term discussion is always necessary, and today, there are already ideas. Wang Shouren's words seemed to open all of a sudden, and he kept talking slowly. Naturally, Cao Muwen would not interrupt. He was also very interested, so he listened carefully, not with one or two, and nodded that it was frequent. It was not that he pretended to be like this, but that he really heard it to have such a reaction.

Wang Shouren continued: "This Luo Qin obeyed my first reputation many years ago, and soon after the spread of Xinxue in several provinces, he wrote to me for advice. Naturally, I don't refuse to come. Although I can't agree with him, as if he can't agree with me, we have exchanged many times. Although we have discussed with each other a lot, the so-called astronomy, the surrounding geography, and the heart of people are always different, but Lin Lin Lin is inseparable from his family. In fact, we can still find common in many places, but It's this 'zong'. We can't discuss with each other in any case, because at the beginning of the discussion, we can know that the result is... no result. Wang Shouren said this with a joking look, "We all know that in our current status, it is absolutely impossible to agree with each other's 'reason' from the heart or in letters, so... we can only exchange letters. Haha."

"It seems that adults communicate with him a lot, but they can only be friends who can never meet. Because I guess they will still attack each other as soon as they meet. Cao Muwen said with some loss that he did not know whether Wang Shouren and Luo Qinshun had met in history, but the thought of the scene opposite each other made people inexplicably excited. Is it the perverted comfort brought by watching the two philosophers arguing with each other on the wall? Cao Muwen admitted this unkindly.

Wang Shouren laughed when he heard this: "Attack! This word is well used. Although it's a little heavy, if the two of us really meet... it's really possible to attack each other! Once he is questioned by others, who can be self-restraint and not to be angry..." Cao Muwen was very surprised. Wang Shouren, the master of Xinxue, said so sincerely. There is no airs. It seems that the master is also a human being! Cao Muwen felt a sense of admiration in his heart.

Wang Shouren was quiet and didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, he asked again, "That's right, Mu Wen! Speaking of how you know Luo Qinshun, how do you know this person?

This question surprised Cao Muwen, "Is this...? What should I answer?" He hit Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. It's more like lying... Yes!

Cao Muwen replied, "Is this what it looks like? The elders in my family have also been reading since childhood, so in addition to learning general classics from my husband to Shushu, my father will teach me more or less to write other things at home. I also learned this Lord Luo's reasoning when I accidentally talked with my friends as an adult. I was just curious, so I looked at it a little bit.

"It's a good learner, not bad." Wang Shouren rarely praised Cao Muwen.

"Ha ha, my lord is flattered."

Wang Shouren also smiled and asked, "Since you know Luo Qinshun, do you also know another person?" Cao Muwen didn't know why Wang Shouren asked such a question.

"I don't know..." Wait! Cao Muwen was stunned as soon as he arrived and thought of another person, perhaps the person Wang Shouren said he wanted to ask. Speaking of Luo Qin, another person will definitely mention it - Wang Tingsang.

"Does Mr. Junchuan refer to Wang Ziheng?" Cao Muwen tried carefully.

"Well, that's right, I'm talking about this person." Wang Shouren nodded and arrived.

Wang Tingxiang. Cao Muwen had to move his sad head again. He didn't expect that he would recall so much long-forgotten knowledge tonight. Fortunately, he was still rich and strong, and his memory did not decline to this extent. Wang Tingxiang... What position should it be now... Cao Muwen carefully recalled that Wang Tingxiang had gone to Nanjing to serve as the left servant of the Nanjing Military Department in the middle of Zhengde.

"Your Excellency, since Mr. Junchuan Wang is the servant of the Nanjing Military Department, it is possible that he also has a letter with you." Cao Muwen asked.

"Haha, that's right." Wang Shouren replied, "Wang Shilang and Luo Qinshun are very similar to the theory of temperament, so after he knew that Luo Qinshun and I had letters to each other, he even wrote a letter to join it. Although there were not as many letters with me as Luo Qinshun, there were also many exchanges... On the contrary, Luo Qinshun and Wang Shilang In order to have the same theory, there are many exchanges on weekdays. Only then did Wang Shilang know about Luo Qinshun's dealings with me. Wang Shouren said slowly, as if he had a slightly different view of the two people.

"Wang Junchuan is different from the former. Luo Qin's theory is that every letter to me is fierce and frequently attacked, but every sentence is unreasonable. It makes people very upset, but the rebuttal is also interesting. Sometimes, I also wrote to Xu Ai and asked him to join it to help me fight with these two. It's very interesting."

Cao Muwen looked at the guy opposite with some speechlessly while showing off his argument with his opponent, and even pulled his apprentice as a helper. It's really speechless! Cao Muwen is ashamed.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Xu Aixu also participated in the theory of Mr. and those two letters... I didn't expect that... Ha ha, Mr. Xu and his disciples were so interested."

"It's reasonable for a gentleman." Wang Shou promoted and said, "Since the so-called 'reason' is so important, it is natural to maintain such a defense."
