Sections 675, 676 The Tang Dynasty's 'Edict of Giving Surnames'... Claiming to be a subject and payi(1/2)

In 3984, on the second day of the second month of the Hongwu year, the dragon raised its head.

The entire household registration land inventory work on Zhuzidao was completed, and each county reported to the Emperor of Tang, Xiuning and Hailu, thirteen counties, and obtained a total of more than 270,000 households, more than 950,000 men and women, and more than 117,000 hectares of land.

In addition, more than 17,000 Yuan war horses and more than 22,000 cattle were seized in various ranches. The Yuan people's property was confiscated and 2.4 million yuan in silver and 1.24 million stones of food were confiscated.

When Li Luo saw his household registration, he couldn't help but feel speechless. He remembered that on the day of his expedition, there were still more than 1.4 million people in Jiuzhou Island. In just five years, he actually lost 500,000 people!

The population loss is more than one-third.

It can be seen how cruel the rule of the Mongolian Seme nobles on the island was.

"I have no other lords, barbarians are like tigers, and people are suffering. I feel very pity for them." Li Luo sighed.

Shao Erxinzi was loyal and whispered, but he did not dare to show any of it on his face. He kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty is kind and loving to the people. He is truly a sage king for the ages. The people are blessed as if they have been drought for a long time."

Li Luo nodded with a look of pity on his face, "The people of this island came to China for ancient refugees, Yanhuang branch, and were also innocent children of the Tang Dynasty. They issued an edict to exempt the taxes of the two counties for one year. In addition, 300,000 stones of grain were allocated to provide relief to the victims."

Shao Er Xinzi was stunned and immediately stood up, took three steps back, bowed solemnly, kowtowed three times in a row, and choked and said, "Your Majesty... benevolent! I... I have been guilty of slander before, and I have committed suicide!"

That's right, in his opinion, Li Luo was indeed hypocritical, but Li Luo was hypocritical and also implemented the equal land order, giving the Chinese people the same treatment, and was exempted from one year of taxes to provide relief to the victims!

No matter how hypocritical a king can do this, he is still a benevolent king! No matter how hypocritical it is, it is really for the sake of the world!

Is it still hypocritical for the sake of the world and for the people?

Li Luo asked the guards to help Shao Erxinzi up, "Your Shao Erjun, you have known me for many years and can be considered my old friend. How can you not know what you think in your heart?"

Shao Erxinzi said with a flushed face: "I am frightened and ashamed."

Li Luo smiled and said, "You complained to me in your heart but could tell me calmly, and it would not be a crime to you. What you think is reasonable. You think I am an outsider and are here to invade Japan, so you have been resentful."

"But, am I really an outsider? Your former emperor told me personally that he is a descendant of Xu Fu. Many Chinese people, including your Shaoer Family, also came from the Central Plains. I don't treat you as an outsider, why do you treat me as an outsider?"

"When I was in Jiangnan, I decided that the people of Annan and Japanese were all Huaxia people and belonged to the Han Chinese people. This treatment was not available in the South Ocean, nor did the foreigners in Haidong. Do you really think you are outsiders, and won't I treat you as slaves?"

Shao Erxinzi bowed and said, "This is a shallow, ignorant, ignorant, and magnanimous heart. Since we are not outsiders, we should return to our mother country and become Xia people."

Li Luo smiled and Shao Erxinzi finally got to the point. Or rather, this man is mature.

"Then tell me, how can I return to my mother country and become a Xiamin?" Li Luo looked at Shao Erxinzi with a bright look.

Whether Shao Erxin can be used depends on his next answer.

His destiny and future are in his own hands.

Shao Erxin took a breath and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, most of the people on the island have no surnames. Please issue an edict to give the surnames to the people. Please ask Your Majesty to give the surnames to the people. Please ask Your Majesty to give the surnames to the Han people!"

Li Luo really wants to laugh. Well, that's right, this young man is really not stupid, he has a promising future.

"This..." Li Luo pretended to think, and said to the left and right: "What do you think?"

Wu Yan and Xiao Bei and other generals said together: "Your Majesty, the young master is very good at asking for it, and I agree with it."

"Okay." Li Luo nodded and thought for a while, "Bi Mo!"

After a moment, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were prepared, and Li Luo wrote hundreds of words in brush and brush, but there were 100 common Han surnames such as "Liu, Wang, Zhang, Chen, Yang, Zhou, Zheng, Wu".

But there is no Li, because Li is a national surname and cannot be given indiscriminately.

In this case, most Japanese people do not have surnames, only simple names. It’s not that they don’t want to have surnames, but because the nobles do not allow them.

The colonial rule in the fifth year of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty castrated Japanese culture almost and began to be transformed into Hu. This was the best time to speak Chinese. Moreover, Japanese culture was originally Chinese, so it was easier.

After Li Luo finished writing, he said to Shao Erxinzi: "Posted the county and asked the officials in the county to name the household registration according to their household registration and re-create the household registration Huang Ce. Those who originally had surnames should also change them to the Han surnames therein to show unity."

"As for you, I will give you the new name of Qin Xin. From now on, you will be called Qin Xin."

"I, Qin Xin, thank Your Majesty for giving me a name!" Shao Er Xinzi thanked him in a mixed mood.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Besides, this may not be a bad thing. Alas, that's all. I hope that the young family, no, the Qin family can continue to maintain wealth.

In the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck, and the young Erxinzi became Qin Xin.

The people were happy when the Tang Lord's "Decree of the Subscription" was issued. Because they were not qualified to use surnames, later generations knew about the Meiji era, so because the Emperor issued the "Decree of the Maimin Miao" to give them the right to use surnames.

Now, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty allowed them to have surnames, so they were not unhappy.

Those who were unhappy were very few people with the surname, either descendants of the Chinese or descendants of warriors. However, under the rule of the Mongol Yuan, they had long become ruined, and many of them had become slaves before.

Now, even if they are dissatisfied, it is useless.

At the same time, Li Luo ordered the exemption of taxes this year, to provide relief to the victims and resume production, which immediately further won the hearts of the people. In the hearts of the people, compared with the Mongolian and Yuan nobles, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was simply a saint.

At this time, the people at the bottom of the Japanese country did not have much national consciousness, and they would recognize whoever treat them well. As for the Kingdom of God and the Emperor, what is that? Can they eat it? Besides, the Kingdom of God had long been destroyed and the Emperor had long been gone. Even the shrines that were everywhere at that time were gone.

The Samo State, which was changed to Xiadong County, had long been transformed into a county government. After the magistrate of the Mengyuan County and Daluhachi were suppressed, they replaced officials from the Tang State.

The county magistrate was a town chief from Tang Guo, and the county magistrate (county police chief magistrate) was also a police officer transferred by Tang Guo. Only the county magistrate and chief clerk were Japanese. The newly appointed town chief village chief was also Japanese.

Of course, they are no longer Japanese, and they are all changed to Han ethnic groups and belong to the Huaxia ethnic group.

The county magistrate of Xiadong County was originally named Tatsuhito Harada. He was originally from the Chinese and later became a slave to Mongolian nobles. He suffered for several years. Because he was proficient in Sinology, he was elected as the county magistrate.

After the "Decree of the Substituents" was issued, Harada Tatsuhito chose the surname Liu because his ancestor Liu Azhi was the great-grandson of Emperor Xian of Han. Not only him, but many of the great surnames of the Chinese clan were descendants of Emperor Xian of Han, and they themselves knew this.

It is no secret that most Chinese people and their ancestors come from the Central Plains.

Now that he has changed back to the Liu family and has returned to his ancestors, Liu Liren is even happier.

Liu Liren had just returned to the government office after presiding over the relief work outside, but was invited by the county officials to the county magistrate's office.

"County magistrate and official." Liu Liren politely said to County magistrate Lu Juanyi, "I don't know what to do if I summon the officials."

He is very fluent in Chinese and has a Central Plains accent.

Lu Juanyi pointed to the cushion in front of the case, "The county magistrate has finished sitting. I am asking what happened to this case of a certain believer returning to secular life."

Lu Juanyi was a Jinshi in the first year of Hongwu. After passing the exam, he was awarded the title of the ninth rank township chief. After several months of being a junior, he was selected as a military officer and easily became the magistrate of the seventh rank county.

Liu Liren was sitting down and said, "Reported to the county magistrate, when the Tartars were in the city, the newly built temple in the county forced the people to convert, and forced many women to enter the temple. It was a very evil crime."

"After the arrival of the king, although the Semu Temple was the master of the Dharma, many people who were forced to convert were deeply bewitched by XX and still insisted on believing it. The lower officials burned a certain sutra and forced them to convert. Unexpectedly, they took advantage of the unpreparedness of the lower officials and burned themselves to death, burning thirteen people!"

Lu Juanyi said with an unpleasant look: "These people are really ignorant. They have been forced to convert for five years, but they are so stubborn!"

Liu Liren smiled bitterly and said, "This matter is serious and must be reported. The county magistrate said that the subordinates were dereliction of duty, so many people died of burning themselves..."

Lu Juanyi waved his hand, "If you don't understand the emperor, how could the emperor blame him? Besides, I will not blame you for it. I just got the news and there was a self-immolation incident in the neighboring Jianzhen County. This incident is definitely not one or two. The emperor will not depose us because of this."

"There is only one thing. The Chinese people must not believe in so-called so-called, and they cannot touch them even if they touch them! If there are still people who dare to convert, they will be punished as disobeying the king's law."

Liu Liren understood that the emperor must be very afraid of the people who converted to XX and did not tolerate it at all. As a result, XX and X did not tolerate it.

"County magistrate, the emperor has made great contributions to the people. People everywhere are celebrating His Majesty's saint's arrival in the world. Should we be given the title of honor?" Liu Liren suddenly said.

Lu Juanyi was stunned and immediately moved. Yes, why didn’t he expect it? It was so dark under the light.

On the eighth day of the second month, Qin Xin (Shao Er Xinzi) and a group of civil servants jointly submitted a memorial, asking the Emperor of Tang Dynasty to give the title of "The Supreme Saint Emperor of Daren".

The generals who followed Li Luo Zhengri were confused. What could they still get a title? It’s not their fault. They are all military generals, most of them are from humble origins and don’t understand this operation.

So, why did Wen Tianxiang, the civil officials of the Tang Dynasty, and Zheng Sixiao, give Li Luo a title?

It's very simple. Wen and Zheng and others are relatively reserved. Before they can take the initiative to give Li Luo a title, they actually let Qin Xin and others who have returned to Tang take the lead.

Qin Xin and others asked for help, saying that the public opinion was like this. The awakened Tang army generals also followed suit, so after Li Luo refused, he could only accept it "helplessly".

So Li Luo became the "Sage Emperor of Daren".

However, this great saint emperor, after hearing the report of self-immolation, was "not kind at all."

The emperor ordered that those who believe in and convert to someone else and want to burn themselves will be obedient!

The way of heaven should be believed. The Tang Dynasty regarded Taoism as the national religion. Not believing in Taoism but believing in someone else is disobeying the king's order.

Then, the emperor issued an edict to build five major Taoist temples and appoint Taoist officials. He also issued an edict to open rural schools, using unified textbooks of the Tang Dynasty, just like the Tang system.

On the tenth day of the second month, Li Luo ordered Zhang Lian to lead tens of thousands of troops across the sea to Siguo Island, recover the four countries, and implement the same policy as Jiuzhou Island, which has collected more than 320,000 people.

Let me add that I have been using a reading app recently. There are many books, all books, and fast updates!

On the 25th, Li Luo issued an edict to change the Siguo Island into Donghai County and set up six counties.

At the same time, 10,000 new recruits were recruited in the three counties, and 10,000 Tang troops were left to guard the surrendered Goryeo and Han troops, and they were also screened and organized into the Tang army.

Afterwards, Li Luo led a large army to leave Kyushu Island and drove towards Honshu Island.

The Yuan army on Honshu Island was immediately in panic.

…………

Just as Li Luo was conquering Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island, the Yuan Dynasty envoy Adali finally arrived in Jiangling.

Although Tang and Yuan dynasties were in the enemy's relationship, the Yuan court envoy came openly and the Ministry of Rites still had to formally receive it. This is a rule for thousands of years.

The two countries will fight, but the envoys will not beheaded.

Speaking of which, Adali walked along the way, he became more and more shocked. He never expected that the south would become so stable, with peace everywhere and vigor everywhere, which was very different from before.

The fake Tang Dynasty must not be underestimated!

On the first day of the second month, the Yuan Dynasty envoy was received by the Regent Queen Choi Soo-ning at the court meeting.

"Adali, the messenger of the Great Yuan Dynasty, has seen the queen." Adali gave a chest caress in the hall as if no one was around, and said to Cui Xiuning, who was sitting high.
