Chapter 67 Changing household registration [Farming to make a fortune]
In addition to their family, there are two other families named Mo who were assigned to Dafeng Village.
Both households are dragging their families, adding up to seventeen people, and standing well, just like them.
The head of Dafeng Village, surnamed He, is in his early sixties, tall and thin, wearing an 80% new gray-blue long coat. His face is dark and wrinkled, a look unique to farmers. He glanced at them. Finally, he asked his eldest son to start counting the people.
After counting the number of people, checking the bamboo cards and household registration, the head of Dafeng Village cleared his throat and said: "No matter where you are from, you will be our Dafeng Villagers from now on. Dafeng Village cannot tolerate evil people. You are here." In the village, you must abide by the rules of the village and don't cause trouble in the village at will."
He also warned them: "If there is trouble in the village, no matter who it is, no matter how big or small the matter is, you will be beaten twenty times and then sent to the Yamen for sentencing. You must remember it!"
Since these families are new here, they will naturally challenge the village chief.
After hearing this, Village Chief He looked somewhat satisfied with his serious face, and said, "While you are at the county office now, take your household registration, prepare money, and come with me to change your household registration."
After hearing this, the two families named Mo became a little anxious and asked quickly: "Village chief, why do you still need money to change your household registration?"
In my hometown, when someone moved to the town and changed their household registration, they didn’t need money. Why did they have to pay money to change their household registration in Tianfu County? They don't have much money left on them, and they still have to keep it to settle down.
Victor He's eldest son snorted coldly: "You are refugees fleeing the famine, coming from such a far northwest. In our Dachu, this is a thousands-mile move, so you will naturally have to pay money."
Da Chu has very strict household registration management. If you move within ten miles, you don’t need any money when changing your household registration. But once you move beyond a hundred miles, you will need one tael of silver to move, and if you move a thousand miles away, you will need three taels of silver.
The Mo family members all fell silent after being scolded by the eldest son of Village Chief He.
Village Chief He said at the right time: "The government knows that everyone has fled the famine all the way and doesn't have much money left, so they will reduce the relocation fee by one tael for you. With only 2 taels, you can exchange for our new household registration in Tianfu County."
“Don’t think that these two taels of silver are too much. There will be disaster victims who will be distributed in the next few days and after the New Year. When the time comes, it will not be so easy for you to change your household registration.”
When the Mo family heard this, their faces were full of panic and they did not dare to say anything.
Gu Jinli and his family didn't say a word, so Village Chief He was very satisfied with them.
There are more than a thousand victims and three hundred households who have been assigned to Tianfu County together. They are all waiting to change their household registrations today. There are already six village chiefs and victims in line in front of them. Gu Jinli and the others have not yet had their turn.
During the period, Gu Jinli reminded Gu Dashan in a low voice: "Dad, the head of the household on our household registration paper is still grandpa. Let's change the head of the household to you to avoid anything happening in the future."
Although their family has obtained the household registration paper, the head of the household in the household registration is Mr. Gu. Her father is only the eldest son of Mr. Gu's first wife, not the head of the household.
Now they are separated from the old Gu family, but the old Gu family is a group of bastards. They have caused harm for thousands of years and cannot be wiped out. Just in case, it is better to change the head of the household quickly to prevent the old Gu family from running out in the future. Occupy their home.
Luo's father was nearby. Hearing Gu Jinli's words, he nodded and said: "Da Shan, Xiaoyu is right, you can take advantage of this new household registration and quickly change the name of the head of the household."
Gu Dashan was also afraid of the old Gu family. After hearing what Luo's father and Gu Jinli said, he nodded and said, "Okay, I will change the head of the household when we go in later."
Gu Jinli felt relieved when he heard this.
More than an hour later, it was finally their turn to change their household registration.
Village chief He took men from several families into the official's room and said to the clerk in charge of household registration: "Sir, these are the victims assigned to us in Dafeng Village. If you are affected, please change your household registration to some new ones." The official waved his hand and said, "I understand, let's go out."
The land of the official house is important, except for the person concerned, other people, including the village chief and the head of the village, cannot stay for a long time.
He village chief smiled and exited the official's room.
Gu Dashan's family number was No. 5042, ranking first. He carefully took out his household registration paper, the divorce document, and the post with the official seal of the Qi government, and told the origin of the household registration paper and the divorce document. Son, I said it all once.
After receiving the food at the city gate, Gu Dashan was afraid that the clerk would interrogate him, so he had to talk about it.
The clerk in charge of household registration saw the household registration paper without a thick leather seal. He originally gave Gu Dashan a hard time, but after hearing Gu Dashan's explanation and reading the official seal-stamped post of the Qi Mansion, he swallowed his words.
Gu Dashan took the opportunity to talk about changing the head of the household.
After hearing this, the scribe did not object and just followed the rules and said: "It is stipulated in Dachu that if the previous head of a household is brought to change the name of the head of the household in the local area, no silver is required. If there is no head of the household to bring the name, he needs to pay two taels of silver in the local area. You have to pay ten taels for traveling within a thousand miles, and you have to pay twenty taels for traveling thousands of miles away. Do you have money?"
The scribe raised his eyelids and looked at Gu Dashan with some disdain.
It’s not that he looked down on Gu Dashan, but that the people in the Chu Dynasty were all poor. A farmer's family can't even earn twenty taels of silver despite working so hard all year long, let alone the refugees who have fled the famine. Let alone twenty taels, they probably can't even come up with five taels of silver.
Because Gu Jinli saved the young master of the Qi family, Qi Yi gave their family fifty taels of silver and a banknote.
Only eight taels of the fifty taels of silver were spent on the road. The fifty taels of silver notes had been exchanged for pieces of silver and hidden in the bodies of the six members of their family. Therefore, Gu Dashan could get the money for changing the head of the household. from.
But he remembered Gu Jinli's words and never revealed his wealth, otherwise he would be killed. If you really need a lot of money, don't take out too much money in public. Borrow it from someone you know well first, and then pay it back in private.
Gu Dashan knew that Luo's father and Gu Village Chief's family were relatively wealthy, so he asked Luo's father to borrow ten taels of silver, and then borrowed five taels from Gu Dafu. He collected enough money to change the head of the household and renew his household registration, and handed it to the scribe: "Sir , you count.”
When the scribe saw that he was asking someone to borrow money for the name of the head of the household, he was not too surprised. He took the silver and weighed it in his hand. After confirming that it was solid silver and not fake silver mixed with tin and aluminum, he began to give the money. He changed his household registration.
Changing the household registration is very simple. Take the household registration paper with a thick leather seal issued by the imperial court, make a copy of the old household registration, change the address to the new state, county, town or village, and then change the name of the head of the household. Stamp it with the seal of Tianfu County and it's done.
Gu Dashan received the new household registration with a thick leather seal, opened the thick leather seal, and looked at the name of the head of household on it. His hands trembled with excitement. He had lived for thirty-six years and was finally the master of the family.
"Thank you, sir." Gu Dashan took the divorce document and the post from Qi Mansion. After thanking the clerk, he left the clerk's room.
More than two-quarters of an hour later, the Luo family, the Tian family, the Gu Damu family, the Gu Dafu family, the third grandfather's family, and the Qin family all changed their household registrations into new ones and walked out of the official office happily.
Next are two families of the Mo family.
By the time these things were done, it was already afternoon time, and the people in the government office did not dare to leave so many victims in the county government office, so they ordered them to leave immediately.
Village chief He and his son could only take them out of the yamen, and with the ten young men from Dafeng village waiting outside the county yamen, they took them to Dafeng village in Qingfu town.
