This household registration system was abolished in the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty also stipulated two types of household registration, namely, the Fangguo household and the rural household registration, which is a bit like the urban household registration and rural household registration in modern China. However, this thing is not dead, and can be changed from each other. If you go to the city to work, as long as you pay taxes on time, you can apply for a Fangguo household registration after one year. If the government feels that the city has too many people, it will launch a campaign to persuade people who cannot find serious jobs in the city to go to farm in the countryside.

This movement of persuasion is not as compulsory as going to the countryside, but rather persuasion is not compulsory. The governments of the Song Dynasty would use various preferential policies to induce you to farm in the countryside, such as reducing taxes and exempting taxes, issuing seeds, farm tools, and even giving them to plowing oxen, making you feel profitable, so naturally some people would be happy to stop hang out in the city and farm in the countryside.

The reason why the Song Dynasty had such a household registration system was entirely due to the reform and opening up policy. That's right, reform and opening up are basically the same as the reform and opening up of modern China, which is to vigorously develop commerce and develop foreign trade. During the Northern Song Dynasty, agricultural taxes in the country only accounted for less than 30%, which means that the Song Dynasty's GDP did not rely on agriculture, and commerce was the big part. Moreover, in commerce, foreign trade accounted for more than 40%. By the Southern Song Dynasty, this situation became even more serious, and foreign trade accounted for almost half of the annual tax revenue of the Southern Song Dynasty court.

When our country reformed and opened up, the first thing we broke was the household registration system. What was the army of migrant workers like back then? What was the Song Dynasty like, so it was obviously inappropriate to use the household registration system like the Tang Dynasty. What made Hong Tao even bit his back teeth was that in the Song Dynasty, there were actually people who drifted north and south, which were called floating people at that time.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there were 1.5 million people in Kaifeng City, and during the Southern Song Dynasty, there were more than 700,000 people in Lin'an. For ports like Guang|zhou and Quanzhou, there were not only large troops of Song people entering the city to work, but also many Southeast Asian and even black people came here to make a living. Therefore, foreigners were not novel in the eyes of the people of the Song Dynasty. Even if you wear or speak strangely, no one would catch you because of this. The southern accent has become the norm of major cities in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the words of later generations, the coastal ports of the Southern Song Dynasty were already international metropolises. Who has ever heard of the lack of foreigners in international metropolis?

"Damn it's going to enter the primary stage of capitalism! If China entered capitalism in the Southern Song Dynasty, would there be anything else in Europe and the United States? At that time, the Persian Gulf should be the fleet of the Song Dynasty, right? No, the Mongols cannot destroy all this. They are just a group of locusts, only destroying but not building. I can't control other places if they want to destroy them. But don't come to the Southern Song Dynasty to destroy them. It's better to go to Europe. It's better to destroy them there!" Hong Tao was a little stupid. Although he had not set foot on any Southern Song city, just based on Luo Youde's brief introduction, it can be heard that the Southern Song society has begun to sprout capitalist seedlings, and is at a crossroads that are east or west. If the Mongols are resisted and not destroyed, it is likely to incubate a completely different capitalist country, which will lead the world to enter the stage of capitalization production for hundreds of years.

Once you enter this stage, no one can stop it. There will be a figure of Luo Youde, a Song Dynasty businessman, in every country and every sea area in the world. All ideas are nonsense. Businessmen are the main group to improve productivity. As long as they can give them a free sky, they can perform for you. There is no need for the country to invest any energy. As long as they are given a stable rear, they can go to the world to conquer cities and land through their means, and the scale and speed are no worse than the army. Moreover, when the merchants are anxious, they are the army, even more brave than the national army, which is to be worth money but not life, and their combat effectiveness is full!

However, there is currently a roadblock that blocks the transformation of the Southern Song Dynasty, which is the Mongols in the north. They rely on their special lifestyle and are in the stage of the strongest combat effectiveness in this era. The Mongols are born warriors, and their lifestyle is no different from the military camp. They used to kill each other and could not show too much power. Now they are embraced in a group, and the whole world is trembling. Not only the army of the Southern Song Dynasty cannot stop them, but also Central Asia and Europeans cannot stop them.

But after Europe was harmed by the Mongols, it prompted them to make progress. After the Song Dynasty was tortured by them, China was like a person who was upgrading, and was suddenly interrupted. All the previous accumulation was in vain. If you want to upgrade, you have to accumulate again. What is even more terrifying is that later generations will think that the model of the Song Dynasty cannot be upgraded, so they began to improve it. The more they change, the more they become, it becomes a perverted centralized system. As a result, the Europeans are left eight streets far away and they can't catch up even if they want to.

If the Southern Song Dynasty could be saved and upgraded, what would China look like? Hong Tao was not clear, but he felt that even if it was again, at most it would be the same as the Ming and Qing dynasties, and would not be bad anymore. Since it was a business that would guarantee the capital and not pay compensation, why not try it? How to try it? Hong Tao had no specific plan yet. It would be a saying to block the Mongolians, but if you really want to do it, it would not be fishing. I have never seen the Mongolian iron cavalry. I can stop it or how to block it. God knows. Anyway, things that cannot be stopped in the whole world, and if you want to block it, it will definitely be hopeless if you don’t make some new things.

Since there is a goal, even if Hong Tao has a direction, whether he can block it is a question, and whether he wants to block it is another question. These days, he has been thinking about what he should do in this era. You said you want to continue to enjoy it carefreely. Obviously, it is not reliable. There is really nothing to enjoy in this era, and there is nothing in all aspects. Even if you become an emperor, you might as well drive the mouse Superman to travel around the world. For a person who has eaten, seen and walked through it in modern times, this thing in ancient times is really not enough.

If you cannot enjoy material things, you can only pursue higher spiritual enjoyment. What spiritual enjoyment is? Hong Tao has never thought it through. Now he is a little surprised. He changes the historical direction of the entire world with his own strength. This is a great achievement. No, it cannot be said that he is not as powerful as a catalyst for the originally slow historical wheel to suddenly turn twice. The source of this power is not himself, but people of his era like Luo Youde.
