Chapter 591: Yi Customs
The spring breeze is blowing and the drizzle is falling.
The people of Sichuan flocked to Guanzhong like a long dragon.
Let the long-weary Guanzhong be full of vitality.
Without a population, no matter how large a territory is, it is useless.
The territory of the Qin State was almost twice that of the Central Plains, but the core area only had five counties in Hexi. The release of the population of Shuzhong into Guanzhong was of great significance to the Qin State.
Du Yu predicted that the number of shadow households and hidden households would be around 2.4 million, but the new round of population registration has exceeded 2.7 million, and is still rising. Adding to the original 900,000,
The population of Shuzhong reaches more than 3.6 million.
It is estimated that Hanzhong will be filled with 700,000 people, Guanzhong will be filled with 1.5 million people, and Shuzhong will have a population of more than one million.
In fact, after Yang Zheng moved the capital to Chang'an, the people from Hexi also moved there.
Especially in the two most populous counties of Gaochang and Dunhuang, there were countless wealthy families, so it was common practice to separate a branch of the clan and move to Chang'an.
Half of the population settled in Longyou was also filled in the vicinity of Chang'an.
There were also original prisoners of the Yongliang army. Their hometown was in Guanzhong, so they naturally moved back to their hometown on their own initiative.
The population near Chang'an soared rapidly.
New villages and towns were sprung up one after another, the ruins of cities were re-erected, and the rivers and canals were re-opened.
Large tracts of fertile farmland are scattered in the spring light.
The bones in the wild were also buried in the ground.
In the past, there were no people living for thousands of miles and no roosters crowing for hundreds of miles. Now, there is one pavilion in ten miles, one village in thirty miles, and one county in hundred miles.
Each pavilion is headed by a retired veteran, and the three elders in the village are all composed of disabled soldiers. Each one has the title of Xuanyi and is under the jurisdiction of Xuanyi Lang in the county.
The new villages are no longer dominated by clans, with Han, Qiang, Di, Ti and Hu living among each other.
Anyone who engages in private fighting will be severely punished and exiled to Juyan, Shuofang, and Luntai as slaves.
The neighbors on the left and right sit together.
All kinds of waste are rising, mud and sand are falling, and all ethnic groups are fierce in temperament, so Yang Zheng has no choice but to use severe punishment.
"The various ethnic groups are mixed and have different customs. We should formulate legal codes and change customs to transform the barbarians into Zhongxia." Suo Jing admonished.
Although the Three Kingdoms were in chaos, Wei, Shu and Wu had been like this for decades.
The Shu Kingdom integrated with the barbarians in the southwest, Soochow Wu played a heavy hand against Baiyue, Cao Wei needless to say, the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Di people basically completed their sinicization, and Xianbei was also greatly affected.
"Do you have any detailed plans?" The integration of the various tribes into China has always been what Yang Zheng has been doing.
Suo Jing hurriedly presented a piece of silk, "I have ten strategies to offer to your Majesty!"
The Suo family's headquarters is in Dunhuang, which is at the forefront of ethnic integration and naturally has the most say.
Yang Zheng opened the silk, and it was full of vigorous and powerful chapters.
Even if Yang Zheng is illiterate in calligraphy, he can still see the extraordinary quality.
It is said that there are ten strategies, but when broken down, there are almost thirty strategies.
Even the tradition of marrying a daughter-in-law to her younger brother must be regulated, and the bad habit of using each other's wives and daughters to serve distinguished guests is prohibited.
As for the prohibition of private fights, burials, etc., they are all included in the regulations.
There are also strict requirements for hairstyles, such as braided hair, tattoos, etc., and it is stipulated that all registered households must have their hair tied in the right bun.
Yang Zheng didn't mind other people's hairstyle and clothing, but scholars and scholars cared about it very much.
Everything must have a sense of ritual, otherwise the various tribes will still be unable to integrate psychologically.
"If the tribes are in chaos because of this, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?" Yang Zheng is a pragmatist.
But Suo Jing is obviously idealistic, full of the lofty ideals of a scholar, "If you are willing to tie your hair and right skirt, how can you integrate into China? You are just a profit-paying disciple, claiming to be the king of equal land, just to get a share of the pie!"
"
"It makes sense!" Yang Zheng suddenly remembered that the boar skins in history kept their hair but not their heads...
Why have the Southern Huns never been able to fully integrate?
Because their spirit is still there, their inheritance is still there, and their customs are still there!
To tie one's hair back is to destroy their xinxing!
The integration must be thorough, otherwise a few decades later, the Qin State would rise under the equalization system, and these people would rise with it.
Wanting to take advantage but not willing to pay the price is of course not okay!
"Yes!" Yang Zheng nodded in agreement.
Tribes with different intentions will always have different intentions, and those who want to rebel will do so sooner or later, but their opportunity has not come.
It's better to take this opportunity to force them to take the initiative.
There is no shortage of blood on Yang Zheng's knife. National integration can be gentle, but it cannot be blindly gentle.
It is necessary to both show kindness and establish authority.
Now is the best opportunity.
"The Zhenfu Division is at your disposal!" Yang Zheng said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Suo Jing cupped his hands and said.
In addition to the Zhenfu Department, there are also Xuanyi Department, Soothing Department, Zhechong Mansion and other government agencies to cooperate.
The Di and Ji people are actually the same as the Han people. Their clothes, hair and accessories are all Han-style, and so is their language.
The Qiang people have a complex composition, but they support Yang Zheng unconditionally.
The Qiang people had thorns in their heads, and Yang Zheng had them plucked them out one by one.
Moreover, the Qiang people have always admired China, so there was no resistance.
The only ones who had resistance were the Xianbei, the Hu people, and the Huns.
They all have their own inheritance, which is often the same as that of King Zuoxian or someone else from the Great Xiongnu.
The Huns were just like that, they were already dead.
Yang Zheng's decree is also very simple. If you want to be a Qin citizen and divide the fields, forget about these messy things about sesame seeds and millet. If you want to be a Huns, don't be polite. Go back to Mobei to drink from the northwest wind.
If you want to take advantage of the Qin Dynasty, but also want to be like the Xiongnu or Xianbei, there is no such good thing in the world.
Of course someone would jump out at this time.
The Xiongnu slaughtered all the tribes and jumped out and killed the green bull and white wolf in the desert west of Helan Mountain. They swore to each other: Qin has five crimes. The first is that it oppresses us. The second is that it wants to destroy my race. The third is that it cuts off my sacrifices. The fourth is that the king of Qin is greedy.
They were cruel, frequently built capitals and temples, and shed blood all over the land. The world called them "greedy wolves". Fifth, they seized our grasslands, captured my people, and occupied our cities! All people in the grasslands and deserts should rise up and fight against the Qin Dynasty together. The Xiongnu will never die.
Not a slave!
Huo Qubing took Guzang from King Xiutu back then.
So Tu Gebu's idea of seizing my city is correct, but it is hundreds of years old and it would be inappropriate to bring it up.
The shouts were so impassioned that only two to three thousand people were really willing to follow. Including the beggars wandering around Yinshan Mountain, there were only four thousand riders in total...
It's not enough for the Qin army to fill the gap between their teeth.
The four counties in Hexi, the three counties in Hehuang, the four counties in Longyou, and the four counties in Hetao were all surprisingly calm.
Not a single thorn.
If the warehouse is solid, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.
The Han people value clothes and know their integrity, but the Yongliang tribes have not yet risen to this level. As long as they have food to eat and land to share, who cares about how they style their hair or wear their clothes?
Many tribes don't have any serious clothes at all, just a few rags and sheepskins to wear on their bodies...
Only the nobles and adults of the tribe are well fed and care about these things.
This made Tu's tribe extremely embarrassed. They could neither advance nor retreat. After lingering in Helan Mountain for half a month, Chang'an's cavalry had just left the city, and these people fled into Mobei very consciously.
In fact, in this era, Chinese culture had overwhelming advantages over its surrounding countries.
Even if Yang Zheng does not tie up his hair, many Qiang and Hu people are proud of it and will take the initiative to follow him if they can.
Wuwei not only has Tu various tribes, but also Dugu, Huyan, Qiwu, and Lan, all of which have almost become Han surnames.
Mo Huba, the leader of the Murong tribe in Liaodong, saw the popularity of wearing Bu Yao crowns among the Han people in the north. Mo Huba liked it very much and made one. He wore it on his head all day long, which gradually became a custom. The tribesmen called it "Bu Yao".
, Bu Yao has the same pronunciation as Murong, and was later changed to Murong Bu.
Of course, this is just a rumor that has been spread, but it can already give a glimpse of the admiration and desire of the barbarians for Chinese civilization.
