Chapter 228 Fanwai Let's talk about the household registration of the Ming Dynasty 1
However, those who study well and have a good reputation are always a minority, and this is determined by the screening mechanism of the examination, and for most people, the most likely result is that the son of a soldier is still a soldier, the son of a peasant is still a peasant, the son of a merchant is still a merchant, and the son of a skilled worker is still a skilled worker, and the class is seriously solidified!
However, since childhood, I have been exposed to vocational education, which is better than the current college students, who have studied a belly of books and have not mastered a vocational skill until graduation?
Civilian, military, and artisan registrations are managed by different government departments.
For example, Wang Dongjie's family belongs to the civil register, and the household registration belongs to the management of the household department, the political department, the government, and the county; For example, Qi Jiguang's family belongs to the military register, and the household registration belongs to the management of the military department, and then there is the line of the capital division and the health office, you go to the household department to check his household registration, and it is guaranteed that you can't find it!
For another example, Ke Mingyu, a textile engineer, belongs to the craftsman nationality and professional and technical positions, which are directly managed by the Ministry of Industry and are not under the management of the Ministry of Households.
Military membership has an advantage, that is, it is hereditary and can be inherited. For example, Qi Jiguang's grandfather's grandfather, who made meritorious contributions in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, in this way, as long as his eldest son and eldest grandson are not stupid, he will be the commander of Wei at a young age, which is equivalent to the current deputy division commander, Qi Jiguang can become famous later, and the starting point is also very important!
Of course, the children of ordinary military families, that is a hereditary soldier, please start with a soldier! Although if you are lucky, you can accumulate military merit and be able to do the second rank of the general army, but the risk is very high, and many capable people, with bad luck, died in the battle in positions like 100 households and 1,000 households without waiting for promotion.
The head of the Wei commander, the head of the Wei commander? Ordinary people have to struggle for most of their lives to climb to this position, and it's not so good!
There are still complaints between various groups of people, which are generally not said publicly, but there is a common feature - they all look at others!
People with military status, say this, mother, Lao Tzu This is a high-risk occupation, it will die, Lao Tzu is dead, his son is dead, endlessly, look at the farmers, although the work is tiring, safe! Envious!
People of nationality, say this, how tired we are, all day long, the wind and the sun and rain, the face to the loess and the back to the sky, hoeing the day of the noon, sweat drops into the soil, it is not easy! It's like other soldiers and skilled workers, who sit on their buttocks, and when they get off work, the government has to pay food and wages! Drought and flood to ensure harvest, envy!
The craftsman is actually envious of others, a year from spring to winter, there is no time to rest, I am tired to death! Look at how good the farmers are, after the autumn harvest, they will take a big vacation and play for half a year, even if the farmers have to go out of conscription, it will only be their turn once in ten years, and they are envious!
Don't look at them envy each other, but there is a category of people, and the three of them are resolutely not envious, this is - Lehu!
The Lehu of the Ming Dynasty, if it sounds good, it is equivalent to today's singers, they are idols and artists, and if they don't sound good, they are prostitutes, and pimps, they are the objects of everyone's fun, and their status is low!
Girls were slightly better, at least able to dress up, and boys were forced to wear green turbans as a sign to distinguish ordinary civilians, which is how people today call "cuckold hats".
Most girls sing and dance, tell jokes, perform arts, and sell their lives, while men who are husbands, fathers, and brothers can only work outside the door, etc., which is simply not dignified, and they belong to the category of people who are "looked down" by.
The women of Lehu, who are willing to marry as wives, can leave their nationality and change to civil registration with their husbands, but they are often despised by the world, and those who dare to marry Lehu women also have to bear the eyes and pressure of the world, which is not something that ordinary people can bear!
In the twenty-first year of Wanli, Du Shi Niang sank the treasure chest angrily, and finally threw himself into the river and died, Xiao Li (Li Jia) had a psychological breakdown, and his immaturity was the main reason, his father was a provincial cadre and a political envoy! He is a student of Beijing Guozijian, although his father bought it with money, which is equivalent to the current sponsored student.
And Du Shi Niang is very beautiful, a famous prostitute in Beijing, but she was broken at the age of thirteen, this is an unchangeable experience, as a scholarly family in Shaoxing Mansion, Zhejiang, to accept such a twenty-year-old Lehu woman...... It's hard!
Of course, there are also many people who resist the pressure and don't care! For example, he married Dong Xiaowan; Qian Qianyi married Liu Rusi; Another example is Wu Sangui, who accepted Chen Yuanyuan......
Women can go ashore, but it is not so easy for men in the house, and many people will not be able to marry a wife in their lifetime.
Do you think, who wants to marry the daughter of a folk family? Isn't this pushing the child into the fire pit! Therefore, you can only find it in the Lehu group, and the chance will be much smaller, in short, a lifetime of singing and dancing, in fact, is very miserable!
And no matter how smart Lehu's children are, no matter how good they are, they want to study, they want to be officials, and they don't have any doors!
One year, Taiyuan Yile household, out of a child prodigy, very smart, very cute, everyone liked him very much, wanted to change his household registration, from Lehu to civilian nationality, so that he could enter the public Confucianism, study seriously, maybe he can also take the examination to become an official, most of the people hold the attitude of Yucheng this matter, the good nature of the Chinese.
But the hope was quickly dashed, and a certain adult from Zhejiang was furious, how could this be! All of you are dizzy, how can a child of Lehu enter Taiyuan Mansion to study in Confucianism? Do you still have principles?
When encountering this kind of old stubbornness, what can everyone do, it is useless for King Jin to come out and plead, so he has to give up!
A few years later, this child is estimated to be singing a small song, playing the pipa, or standing outside the door, waiting for his wife to sell it in the house, it is estimated that this is the end!
……
This is the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty, although the limitations of class solidification are very large, but it has to be said that it is very strict, and it is also effective for a long time, otherwise with his wonderful descendants, the Ming Dynasty is likely to not last so long.
It can be seen that Lao Zhu spent a lot of thought when he first created this set, and he had some sincere intentions.
For example, the yellow book and the fish scale book, at first glance it looks very troublesome, in fact, at that time, it was an advanced concept, everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, paid taxes according to the regulations, and didn't run around to affect public security.
However, any system, accumulated over time, will inevitably fail to keep up with the pace of the times and be full of loopholes, and there are more and more people taking advantage of loopholes below, so that the people are cheating and taking advantage of tricks, and they are simply emerging in an endless stream.
Even if there is a fish scale book, the people immediately came up with all kinds of tricks to trick up, such as the so-called flying, trickery, hypocrisy, etc., all the tricks of cheating, can not be said for a while.
Therefore, even if the fields in the book are accurately drawn, the names of the owners can still be confused, and eventually become a confused account.
In fact, roughly in the middle of Wanli, the government is too much to deal with, this set of household registration system, basically equivalent to being abandoned, received less and less, the whole country is in a chaos, the Ming Dynasty slid into the abyss, it is inevitable!
