Wang Mang once stipulated that when a criminal commits some unforgivable sin, he needs to change his single-character name to a two-character name in accordance with the regulations to show punishment and humiliation.

This will lead to the tragic end of social death for the person concerned, and if you have a little self-esteem, you will basically commit suicide.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty and the early Wei Dynasty, such laws were continued to be used.

Now, Guo ordered Guo Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to delete Wei Lu and delete this law.

The New Wei Law stipulates that single-character names and double-character names are of the same status, and everyone should use them freely according to their own needs.

And in order to change the status quo that the two-character name has been led astray by Wang Mang for a long time, Guo knows that only the emperor can fight against the emperor.

So Guo made an additional declaration.

"Our single-word names are given by the elders, the names of the elders, and the elders of the elders, it has been used for a long time, and the sudden change is not only inconvenient, but also violates filial piety, so we forget it, starting from our children and grandchildren, if it is convenient and intentional, it will be changed to a two-character name.

Since I am the emperor, I should be the first in the world, and I have decided to set the name of the eldest son of the crown prince as a two-character name, which will be announced in the near future, and the two-character list will be distinguished by the name of the person, and the descendants will choose at will without the interference of the law. ”

The ministers of Shangshutai and the cabinet bowed down one after another.

"Your Majesty."

Subsequently, Guo Yi revised Wei Lu with great speed, deleted the stipulation that a single name is noble and two names are cheap, and notified the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which and the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Criminal Justice jointly announced the matter to the public.

The detailed provisions of the general principle of evasion, some new deletions and amendments, and some new precautions have spread all over the country with this announcement.

Then, Guo Peng found Guo Jin and Guo Dan, and the three of them came up with a name for Guo Jin's eldest son.

The two-character name that has not appeared in the top-level ruling group for many years, the eldest grandson of the Guo family must be the first in the world.

This in itself is a kind of political capital, which is very meaningful, so Guo attaches great importance to it.

After a serious discussion, Guo Peng finally made a decision and named his eldest grandson Chengzhi, which means inheriting the ambition entrusted to him by Guo someone.

Then it was officially announced to the public, and the two-character name of the eldest grandson of the Guo royal family was announced to the world, thinking that the world was setting an example, and calling on the people of the world not to take the two-character name cheaply, and to take the two-character name together.

From now on, everyone in the world can take a single-character name or a double-character name by themselves, and they will not be noble because of a single-character name, nor will they be lowly because of a two-character name.

The emperor's eldest grandson is a two-character name, what are you afraid of?

This matter became a sure thing.

But what is quite interesting is that after Guo Peng made such a decision, civil officials and military generals followed in the footsteps of Guo and began to change or name their children.

They have changed the names of their minor sons and grandchildren's descendants to two-character names, or just two-character names.

Guo just gave a two-character name to the eldest grandson who had not yet been named, and as a result, these guys didn't care whether the descendants had a big name or not, as long as they were minors and were not crowned, they were all changed.

For example, Cao Cao has a very smart youngest son, who is eight years old this year, originally named Chong, in response to Guo's call, Cao Cao renamed his youngest son Chongzhi.

Cheng Yu had just named his young grandson Cheng Qian, and in response to Guo Peng's call, he renamed his young grandson Cheng Dingqian.

Cao Ren changed the names of his three minor sons to Xiuwen, Xiuwu, and Xiude.

Guo Jia renamed his two sons Guo Zhangping and Guo Zhangruo, and named his daughter Xinyue.

Then Cao Hong also changed the names of his two minor sons and four daughters.

Guan Yu also changed the names of his two sons, three daughters and one grandson.

Zhang Fei also changed the names of his two sons and two daughters.

Zhao Yun also changed the names of his two sons and a daughter.

And so on and so forth.

Anyway, everyone who can keep up has kept up, and if they can't keep up, they immediately go home to find a wife and concubine and start making people, and thoroughly implement the policy of going to the top if there are conditions and creating conditions if there are no conditions.

In order to shoot Guo Peng's sycophants and keep up with this trend, everyone is doing everything.

So in a short period of time, the two-character name changed its embarrassing situation, and even became a trend of naming, everyone began to take two-character names, and single-character names were not very popular.

Anyway, the emperor announced that under the current situation, in addition to the rules within each family, all subjects need to avoid only the words [Peng] and [Shan], and other words can be used in combination at will.

However, groups such as the common people do not even need to shy away from these two words, arbitrarily name their children, and let officials assist them in choosing names, removing double-character names, avoiding duplicate names to the greatest extent, and facilitating the government's registration and population statistics.

Thousands of names such as Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, etc., were also required to change their names, so as to have as few duplicate names as possible to facilitate rule.

It can be seen how far-reaching the emperor's influence on a country is.

Even if it's Wang Mang.

This incident happened in March of the fourth year of Yande, when Ma Yuan and other joint caravans embarked on their return journey.

It was also the time when the first batch of "Zuobo paper" after the "price reduction" entered Luoyang.

It was even more when Lejin and Manpet joined forces to win the war against the people in Yizhou.

At the end of the third year of Yande, Lejin began to plan a war against a large number of people entrenched in the land of Samba, and after the persuasion of Fazheng, it was decided to narrow the scope of the attack and divide the people, some of them were accepted, and some of them were eliminated.

The part that was eliminated suffered heavy losses in the previous war to pacify Yizhou, and the part that will be accepted is the group of people who did not participate in Liu Zhang's side and chose neutrality.

Fa Zheng personally went out and demanded that these tribes surrender to the Wei Empire, join the Wei army, and fight together against the Wei Empire.

Some of the people accepted the conditions offered by Fazheng, joined the Wei army, and became a part of the Wei Empire, but some still refused to accept it, and they were also included in the scope of the Wei army's attack.

After the start of the war, Le Jin led an army of 40,000 into the settlement of the people in the land of Sanba, and with the guidance and help of some of the people, the Wei army made rapid progress.

The Wei army used the powerful killing weapon of the fierce fire oil tank to destroy all the obstacles set up by the people, and burned the mountains and forests to offset the mountain combat advantages of the people, and also used the earth-shaking thunder to shock their minds, so that they were terrified, and thought that the gods had descended to earth.

The Wei army itself also showed extremely strong combat effectiveness, completely annihilating several tribes of the people who intervened in the resistance.

Faced with such a situation, a large number of people quickly collapsed, crying and surrendering to Lejin.

But there were still some who refused to surrender, so they were surrounded by the Wei army commanded by Le Jin, burned them with fierce fire, and finally wiped them all out, and the whole battle lasted for more than a month.

The remaining people realized the irresistible strength of the Wei army, surrendered one after another, and were willing to obey the arrangement of the Wei people, so as to stop resisting, and only hoped that the Wei army would not continue to attack.

After confirming the victory of the war, Lejin was very happy to report to Guo Peng and inform him of the war.

Guo Peng was also very happy, and ordered to reward the soldiers of Lejin and Shuzhong, give them money, land and tax exemptions, give Lejin the title and increase of food, and then ordered all the people in the land of Sanba to be moved out of the land of Sanba.

Guo Peng officially issued an edict, announcing that the entire people would be relocated to Guanzhong and settled near Chang'an.

They were given land, houses, and the necessary necessities to settle down, and they were exempted from the initial taxes for three years, and they were allowed to live with the Han Chinese and to intermarry with the Han Chinese.

Learn to speak Chinese, learn Chinese characters, advocate wearing Han clothes, and live in the way of Han life.

In the face of the powerful force of the Wei army, the people were completely subjugated and did not dare to disobey the orders of Guo Peng, the son of Wei, so they dragged their families away from the place where their ancestors lived, and were arranged to move into the land of Guanzhong as a whole.

Leaving the mountains and forests, leaving the familiar place, the threat of the people no longer exists, and they can rule according to the normal method of rule.

If they are not allowed to leave this ancestral land where the terrain is dangerous and traffic is blocked, they will have to rebel sooner or later, so Guo has to take one step and solve the threat of the people in one go.

In order to further restrain the people and make them completely annexed, Guo Peng also ordered Lejin to recruit 10,000 elite soldiers from the group to join the army to supplement the number of troops in Shuzhong.

Le Jin said that he understood, so he moved the population and recruited troops from the people.

In this way, not only can the combat effectiveness of the Wei army be expanded, but their families are also in Guanzhong, and under the control of the Wei people, with hostages, the soldiers naturally dare not make trouble.

After the fierce people were conquered by the Wei Empire, the scholars and Haoqiang in Shuzhong completely realized the invincible and powerful force of the Wei army.

In the face of this kind of crushing-level force, no matter what they thought about carefully, they all put it away.

Then obediently cooperated with the Wei army to transport grain and grass, recruit strong men, repair roads, and in order to earn impression points, he also took out a large number of grain, grass and money to help the army.

The Wei army also showed strong discipline during the march, never disturbing the people, never fighting, never demolishing houses and plundering the people, and the reputation of the royal army soon spread throughout Shu.

This reputation allowed the rule of the Wei regime to take root in Shuzhong completely.

At this time, the Wei army successively pacified the bandits, pacified the barbarians in the subordinate states of the counties, pacified the people in the land of Sanba, and struck down the local conservative and separatist forces, and the atmosphere of great unification finally appeared in the land of Shuzhong.

Under such a premise, Manpet began to accelerate the repair project of Shu Road.

This time the repair of the Shu Road not only represents the road into Shu, but also includes all the roads in the interior of Shu, including the road into Shu.

Man Pet not only had to build roads in the Qinling Mountains, but also in the Sichuan Basin, so that the roads could be built in all directions, so that the Wei army would requisition and mobilize the manpower and material resources in Shu to launch an attack on Nanzhong.

Guo Peng's lust for power made him unable to tolerate the fact that the counties were actually run by local tyrants, and he could not collect taxes himself.

This is a provocation by local forces against him.

Nanzhong is definitely within the extreme wall of the empire, and it also has rich mineral resources and well salt resources, Guo is coveted by this, and it is impossible not to take it.

The current move is to prepare for the attack on Nanzhong, the Wei army has been fighting in Shuzhong for more than a year, and finally swept away the separatist forces in various places, and the next thing is the time of harvest.

With the manpower and material resources of Shuzhong, he and the Wei army completed the first unprecedented military-civilian cooperation, so that the rule of the Wei Empire went deep into the rural grassroots and also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

These remnants of the powerful forces of the scholar clan in Shu will sooner or later be swept into the garbage heap of history by Guo someone.

It's the same as those warrior forces and powerful forces in Nanjun and Nanyang County.

The local separatist forces they represent are Guo's natural enemies.

Of course, they themselves may not know it yet.

Time advanced to April of the fourth year of Yande.

Guo is still completing his tasks step by step.

Road.

Repair the road in Guanxi, repair the road in Yizhou, repair the road in Liaodong, repair the road in the Western Regions, and repair the road in Yangzhou.

All kinds of repairs, all kinds of inputs, all kinds of promotion of large-scale project construction.

Then he supported the war in Yizhou and Yangzhou, and promoted the immigration plan, silently increasing the supply of paper, and constantly increasing the proportion of paper used in government affairs.

Slowly, little by little, from Luoyang to the localities, a kind of moisturizing and silent change was carried out on the entire Wei Empire.

Guo is waiting for the moment when quantitative change accumulates until qualitative change occurs.

He hoped that the faster the process, the better, and the sooner he could, the more time he had.

And in the process of waiting, Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and Tian Feng had a conflict again.

The contradiction is still very big and intense, which makes Guo feel that he has another chance.
