Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

So at this moment, she really, really couldn't bear to part with him.

So she took a few steps forward, suddenly threw herself into Chu Xiyao's arms, hugged him tightly with both hands, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Uncle Jiu, I really hate to part with you."

Chu Qinglan's voice was choked with sobs, and her body trembled slightly.

Her tears soaked Chu Xiyao's clothes, as if she wanted to express all the reluctance in her heart through her tears.

Chu Xiyao was slightly taken aback, then gently patted Chu Qinglan's back, his eyes full of tenderness and affection: "Qinglan, be good, don't cry. You've grown up now, you have to be strong."

His voice was deep and gentle, carrying a reassuring power.

Chu Xiyao continued to comfort him, "It's not like we'll never see each other again. When the opportunity arises, Uncle Jiu will come to Xichu to see you."

Chu Qinglan sobbed in Chu Xiyao's arms and nodded.

Then Chu Xiyao gently released Chu Qinglan, looked at her tear-streaked face, and reached out to gently wipe away her tears.

Then Chu Qinglan sniffed, trying to stop her tears, and looked at Chu Xiyao with eyes full of dependence and reluctance: "Ninth Uncle, you and Ninth Aunt must take good care of yourselves. I will miss you."

Chu Xiyao patted Chu Qinglan's shoulder again, offering her encouragement and comfort: "Alright, stop crying, or you'll turn into a little kitten."

He tried to ease Chu Qinglan's grief with lighthearted words.

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinglan burst into laughter through her tears, wiping her eyes somewhat embarrassedly: "Ninth Uncle, I understand."

She then gave Chu Xiyao and Ling Yan a deep look, before slowly turning around and walking toward the carriage.

With each step she took, she felt as if something was pulling at her heart, and her steps became unusually heavy.

Then, Chu Qinglan turned around and stepped into the carriage.

The carriage slowly started moving, and Chu Qinglan waved goodbye to Ling Yan and Chu Xiyao through the carriage window.

Lingyan and Chu Xiyao stood at the city gate, watching the departing carriage until it disappeared from sight before turning their gaze away.

Meanwhile, while Da Zhao was discussing the details of the alliance with the other four countries, all the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were busy.

The use of ID cards has begun.

After some discussion, they decided to first select several economically developed regions with relatively open-minded people as the first pilot areas.

Subsequently, Lord Wang organized a group of professional craftsmen and painters to design and produce the ID card designs.

They referenced Lingyan's description and strived to make the ID card both aesthetically pleasing and able to clearly record each person's basic information.

During the production process, Lord Wang personally supervised to ensure that every step was done with the utmost care and precision.

He knew that the quality of this first batch of ID cards would directly affect the public's acceptance of the new system.

Once the first batch of ID cards was produced, Lord Wang dispatched some officials skilled in communication to the pilot areas to promote the function and benefits of ID cards to the people.

These officials went among the people and patiently explained the meaning of the ID card.

Tell them that this will bring many conveniences to their lives, such as making travel safer and more reliable.

At first, the people did have doubts and resistance.

However, with the continuous explanations and demonstrations by officials, some more enlightened citizens gradually began to accept this new thing.

They found that having an ID card did indeed make things more convenient in some ways.

Lord Wang has been closely monitoring the situation in the pilot areas and has been continuously adjusting and improving the ID card system based on feedback from the people.

He also organized special training sessions to familiarize officials in the Ministry of Revenue with the management and use of identity cards.

As time went on, the ID card system in the pilot areas gradually got on track.

People are increasingly accepting of ID cards, and household registration management is becoming more orderly and efficient.

Lord Wang then compiled the successful experiences from the pilot areas into a book and reported it to Emperor Jingzhao.

Emperor Jingzhao highly praised Minister Wang's efforts and achievements, and decided to gradually promote the ID card system throughout the country.

Therefore, the imperial court first issued an edict announcing the implementation of the identity card system and clarifying its importance and purpose.

The imperial court then organized a special team of officials to oversee the progress of this work.

They will first conduct a comprehensive review and integration of the existing household registration records.

Then, they will carefully verify each person's name, age, place of origin, and other basic information to ensure the accuracy of this information.

At the same time, each person is assigned a unique number based on this information, which serves as the core identifier of their ID card.

Next, they began producing a large number of ID cards.

Once completed, the individual's basic information and serial number will be engraved on it.

To prevent counterfeiting, special marks or symbols are used, such as government seals or specific patterns.

Once the ID cards are produced, officials will organize staff to distribute them to the people.

During the distribution process, the public will be given a detailed explanation of the purpose and importance of the ID card, as well as how to properly keep and use it.

At the same time, feedback from the public will be collected in order to further improve the system.

To ensure the effective implementation of the ID card system, the imperial court subsequently formulated strict management regulations.

For example, regulations stipulate that citizens must carry their ID cards when going out or handling important matters, so that they can be inspected at any time.

Citizens who lose or damage their ID cards should promptly report to the government and apply for a replacement.

At the same time, those who forge ID cards will be severely punished to maintain the authority of the system.

In daily management, local governments would set up special agencies or assign specific personnel to be responsible for the verification and management of identity cards.

Checkpoints will be set up at important locations such as city gates, checkpoints, and markets to check the ID cards of people passing through.

If anyone is found not carrying an ID card or whose ID card information does not match, a detailed inquiry and investigation will be conducted.

As time goes by, the ID card system will continue to be improved and optimized.

Officials will also adjust and improve the production process and management regulations of ID cards based on the actual situation.

At the same time, we will strengthen publicity and education for the public to improve their understanding of the ID card system and ensure its smooth implementation.

Afterwards, as ID cards were implemented in various parts of Dazhao, it brought many positive effects to Dazhao.

It has great significance for both social governance and people's lives.

First, it improved the accuracy of household registration management.

With an ID card, everyone's basic information is clearly recorded and has a unique number.

Officials can access information about specific individuals more quickly and accurately, avoiding confusion and errors in household registration.

This allows the state to have a more comprehensive understanding of the population, providing a reliable basis for formulating reasonable policies.

For example, in areas such as conscription and corvée labor allocation, more equitable arrangements can be made based on accurate population information, avoiding duplicate conscription or omissions.

Secondly, social security management has been strengthened.

The existence of ID cards makes it difficult for criminals to hide their identities and evade capture.

During patrols and investigations, officials can quickly identify individuals and screen suspicious persons by checking their ID cards.

It also allows for more effective tracking and arrest of criminals who commit crimes across different regions.

This has greatly reduced the crime rate and maintained social stability and security.
