It is easy to be appointed as an official, but it is not that easy to do it well. For example, Lu Yan doesn't even know what the county magistrate mainly does, but he does not have experience in this area.

Generally speaking, even if you start with a Langguan, you will go directly to the local area to serve as a county magistrate or county magistrate and accumulate there. As a result, if you skip this step and start with a county magistrate, Lu Yan is under great pressure.

In contrast, Cai Yan and Jian Yong's work was relatively simple, especially the latter had served as the chief clerk of the marching for a period of time and could adapt immediately.

"The biggest problem is, what should we do at this stage?" Liu Tao is actually the most troublesome. After all, no one has taught him how to be a prefect.

This is different from playing construction games. You can use a God interface to give you some people and supplies, and then apply them at will on this basis. If you make a mistake, you can read the file and then come back. If you are not happy, you can change the game directly.

At this stage, we must first understand the operation of the government in the past, then understand the scope of responsibilities of the prefect, and finally govern.

Most of the time, the prefect's responsibilities are to solve the needs of the people of each county and solve the problems of the people. At the same time, coordinate the issuance of corvee labor and the collection of taxes to ensure that the annual tax can be paid to the state and then sent to Luoyang.

"It's not long since the beginning of spring plowing. There is nothing to do. The people are busy farming. At this time, the labor service will definitely not be issued." Lu Yan was also adapting to his status as a county magistrate while assisting Liu Tao in solving the problem.

"Then I can't do nothing like this, right?" Liu Tao pointed at himself.

"Of course it's impossible!" Lu Yan replied, "The main reason is that there was no prefect before, so many things need to be adapted to. Now all the cadres are counting the following statistics, so we can only let them report it quickly."

"Master..." At this moment, Jian Yong walked in, "I checked the data from previous years and found a problem. For Yunzhong County alone, there seems to be a big difference between the population and the number on the list."

"Yunzhong is already a border area, and there are many merchants here who plan to trade in the grassland, so it is not surprising that there are differences in the number of people." Liu Tao thought for a while and tried to explain.

"I originally thought this was the case, but I found out that it was not that simple." Jian Yong shook his head. If it was really that simple, he didn't need to come and report it.

Yunzhong is indeed an important city to go to Xianbei. Whether it is to go to Wuyuan County or Dingxiang County in the future, it is a must-pass way, so there are many merchants, which is understandable.

"In addition to merchants and registered population, more than half of the people are not on the list," Jian Yong replied.

"How many people are there on the roster?" Liu Tao immediately took it seriously.

"According to the statistical results six years ago, there are 5,234 people in Yunzhong County. However, there are at least more than 10,000 people living in reality. There are thousands of people, but they do not have household registration." Jian Yonghui reported.

"Aren't it the servants of a certain family?" Liu Tao joked. After all, there were also people in later generations. There were only 5,000 people in the late Han Dynasty, but if the servants of various families were counted, there would be more than 100 million people.

"Even worse, they are all Hu people!" Jian Yong shook his head, "I spent an hour visiting and found that many people living around Yunzhong County were Hu people who moved here, or descendants of Hu people."

"Will Zhao Kong sit and watch these Hu people move here?" Liu Tao frowned slightly.

According to this statement, Yunzhong County, no, I am afraid that all the counties in Yunzhong have been occupied by these Hu people? Let this happen but not reported it. All the officials of Yunzhong County deserve to die!

"The situation is not that bad..." Jian Yong saw that Liu Tao's face was not good, and quickly explained, "Most of these Hu people are interested in the Han Dynasty, so they moved to the Han Dynasty and planned to settle down in Yunzhong and become Han citizens."

When Liu Tao heard this, he suddenly realized that according to the Han law, at least three generations of people would have to live here and pay taxes before they could be considered Han people. According to this concept, these Hu people should theoretically be naturalized Hu people.

I just haven't obtained my household registration yet, so I'm not in the household registration book... However, it's still a bit hard to let go of this.

It would be fine if there were three or two hundred, one or two thousand! The number of these naturalized Hu people exceeded that of the local Han people, and it had not been reported yet. Liu Tao even had to doubt where the taxes of these naturalized Hu people were paid and who they gave them!

"I guess that the taxes of these Hu people will probably end up falling into the hands of the commander of Yunzhong." Jian Yong saw that Liu Tao began to ponder, so he added.

Otherwise, others would come here to serve as the chief lieutenant at the risk of being invaded by the Hu people and dying on the battlefield. Why? After all, it is the taxes of these hidden households! If you have to count, corvee service is actually counted!

"Slowly, according to this statement, shouldn't it be naturalized after three generations?" Liu Tao thought for a while, and calculated that it would be only 30 years at the fastest time. From the third generation, he could be a Han Chinese.

"The problem is Yunzhong..." Lu Yan seemed to have guessed the key to the matter, " From time to time, Hu people will go south, and maybe some of them will be robbed by them, and then some of them will move south here. The number of three generations is estimated to be not achieved in 40 or 50 years."

After all, it was the environment here that caused these naturalized Hu people to be unable to truly become naturalized.

"There is another problem, that is, the naturalized Hu people who are not naturalized have higher taxes and corvee labor than the Han people." Jian Yong said helplessly.

The first generation and the second generation may be fighting desperately with the idea of ​​obtaining household registration, but it is hard to say that the third generation will not be able to withstand this gap. At this time, the Hu people went south and it would easily arouse their sense of resistance and then join the Hu people's army.

Over time, Bu Dugen also discovered this problem, so he was not busy invading Yunzhong County. After all, a group of young people can be recruited regularly, which is a good source of troops.

Bu Dugen recruited these young people, mainly fighting with the other two departments. Since the main force was not to attack Yunzhong County, the commander and county magistrate here did not have much pressure.

In addition, a group of Hu people moved here regularly, and then they could earn taxes and corvee for two generations... Over time, the local governments and the roots of Yunzhong County actually formed a tacit understanding.

"Not a son..." Liu Tao was a little indignant, "For the sake of his own desires, he actually raised a tiger openly. If one day, Bu Dugen unified the various Xianbei tribes and began to move south, these people would all be sinners!"

"However, this problem is what we have to face now." Lu Yan reminded, "Brother, what should we do?"

"What else can I do?" Liu Tao said angrily, "Since there are so many labor, of course we must make good use of it! I originally thought that the population in Yunzhong County would only be 20,000 people killed by death..."

He paused and looked at everyone: "What I didn't expect was that things seemed to be as bad as we imagined!"
