Why does it cost so much to forge an ID document?
Because it's not just labeling a name or origin; it allows you to see a person's entire life experience!
This entirety starts from your birth registration, and once you turn fourteen, every year's population tax payment, then marriage and childbirth, will all be recorded within.
Moreover, those from better origins might start getting recorded at a younger age, such as studying the Human Dao Hundred Schools at an academy, traveling for scholarly exchanges, evaluations from teachers, participating in exams, and so forth.
In short, an ID document is essentially a biographical chronicle of one's life!
And this is not just created by the Human Dao's Confucian, Legalist, and Mo Family theories; it's a combined creation that can be queried not only in the Dayan Dynasty but also in other dynasties!
