It's no wonder that Bo Jiao is so opposed, in the Great Song Dynasty, those who tattoo their faces are not good people, men are generally homeless, in order to let them go to the army and not run around, so they will tattoo words on their faces. If a woman has words on her face, it will be even more finished, which means that this woman is lewd and not a serious person.

Although Jinhe has nothing to do with the Great Song Dynasty, the Han people in China do not account for the absolute majority. But the Great Song Dynasty is a superpower in East Asia, and its customs and habits are not only observed by people in the territory, but also affect some neighboring countries, so Bo Jiao doesn't think Hong Tao's idea is a good idea, the whole idea is a bad idea, very bad kind of that.

"When did I say I got a tattoo on my face? Do you see that I still have a thorn in my face! Hong Tao finally couldn't help it, grabbed Bo Jiao's hair, pulled his head in front of his face, pointed to his broken face, and let Bo Jiao take a closer look.

"There's no good place to be...... So where are you going to stab you? Uncle, you're a little on fire, here's a few packets. "Don't look at Bo Jiao, who has been with Hong Tao since he was a child, the relationship between the two is closer than that of father and son, but it is the first time to look at Hong Tao's face so closely, and he really stared at it carefully.

"How about a thorn in the neck? It's easier to observe here, and you don't have to fold your arms and sleeves to undress. I've drawn a few patterns for you to see, and pick a few that you think are the most suitable. Actually, it's all the same, but the color is different. I think it can be done in this way, people born in odd-numbered years will get a black tattoo, and people born in even-numbered years will have a vermilion tattoo. It's clear at a glance. ”

"I also asked Li Ren, it is very convenient to stab this, it won't take long, it hurts a little, and it will be over after a while. I think it's more appropriate to get a tattoo from the age of 10, because the child is too young and still afraid of pain. "Where and what content this tattoo is engraved, Hong Tao has already thought about it. The first choice is on the neck, which is not easy to hurt and easy to observe, and tattooed with a line of Arabic numerals and English letters, which does not spoil any beauty.

Compared with tattooing on the face, the Song people did not reject tattoos on the body, and even more relaxed than the attitude of later Chinese towards tattoos. Tattoos originated very early, not only ethnic minority tattoos, Han people also tattoos, not only soldiers, street gangster tattoos, many literati, government officials will also get some on themselves, especially military generals. Who in later generations has ever seen a military commander with a tattoo on his back? But in the Tang and Song dynasties, this was nothing new.

The most famous tattoo in ancient times is Yue Fei, most people have heard of the story of his mother-in-law's tattoo, if the tattoo was so unpopular at that time, Yue Fei's mother would definitely not write and draw on her son's back. And it also illustrates a problem here, that is, Yue Fei's mother has tattoo skills, which should be good, otherwise why not hire a tattoo artist to make the words on her son's back more beautiful?

There is also a more famous tattoo lover is Hu Yanzan, this old brother is much more fashionable than Yue Fei, Yue Xianggong is forced to get a tattoo, Hu Yanzan is an active tattoo, he is just this bite, it is said that even the lips can not be wasted, and something has to be tattooed. And he is not satisfied with his own poetry and songs, flowers, birds, fish and insects, and his four sons are also one person, and the wives and concubines in the family are even more married to chickens and dogs, and they have to follow the trend of their husbands. It's just that Huyanzan's wife resolutely disagrees with tattooing her face, the reason is very simple, it is a representative of broken shoes, which woman is willing to take the initiative to be a broken shoe, even if she is, she will not be swaggering all over the street.

There is a nine-tattooed dragon Shi Jin in Liangshanbo, and when you hear this name, you know how vulgar he is, and he has nine dragons tattooed on his body. If this is placed in the future generations, he will be 100% a **** big brother. Because his family is not only rich, but also quite educated, cultured hooligans, even more terrifying! Like Lu Zhishen and Yan Qing, they also have tattoos on their bodies, and they are not street gangsters. From this point it can also be shown that tattooing was not derogatory in the Song Dynasty, it was a fashion and a personality.

The above mentioned are all military generals, or people who like to use their hands and feet, so do literati have tattoos? Also, there is a record in the Song Dynasty notebook "Pingzhou Can Talk", saying that there is a scholar named Ge Qing in Jingzhou, who especially admires Bai Juyi, so he tattooed Bai Juyi's poems all over his body. Not only was he not ridiculed and looked down upon by his classmates, but he also became a local story, and everyone gave him a nickname, called Baishe Renxing Poems.

If you go further, due to ethnic integration in the Tang Dynasty, tattoos are more popular, and some people have made poems for tattoos: Chang'an teenagers are more heroes, and their arms compete with carvings.

There is another emperor who also has tattoos on his body, he is Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and it is said that he has a sparrow tattoo on his neck and a grain on the other, because he also has a nickname called Guo Que'er.

After Hong Tao learned these things, he also learned that the Song people did not discriminate against tattoos, so he remembered to use tattoos as personal ID cards. You don't have to carry it around, but you can see it whenever you want, and it's not easy to lose or damage. In the era when there were no computers and big data, it was an innovation.

This line of Arabic numerals is the identification number of each resident of the Golden River Country, a total of ten digits, but the numbers themselves have no practical meaning. The first five digits are the file number, which corresponds to the identity of each citizen. The last five digits represent the serial number and gender of the agency that handles the file registration, and it can be seen which city the person registered in for naturalization.

In fact, it is enough to mix English letters with a string of Arabic numerals, and there are not many people in Jinhe Country at present, and this set of things is enough for a long time. But in order to prevent others from copying at will, Hong Tao added a line of Hanyu pinyin of the name and a combination of a string of short dashes and small black dots under this string of characters.

"Uncle, what do you mean by the above line and the line below?" These three lines of characters are put together, not to mention foreigners, even Bo Jiao can't understand it, he only knows the middle line of Chinese pinyin.

"This is a password, it has always been used in a small area, and only people with special training in this area of the Ministry of Supervision can interpret it correctly, let alone you, even ordinary graduates of navigation schools do not know it." Speaking of these two lines of characters, Hong Tao was even more proud. The ten-digit number in the upper row is the decimal arithmetic, which is later known as the computer language, and the combination of the dash and the black dot in the bottom row is the Morse cipher.

Putting these two things together, it is difficult for others to imitate them, and people who understand it can know at a glance what these characters are talking about, but if they don't understand this set of things, even if they are faked, they don't know what they mean. It is only necessary to set up a unified checkpoint at the port of entry of Jinhe Country, and the people entering and leaving the port area will be clear at a glance.

This is the biggest advantage of the traverser, just take out a kind of afterlife, it is enough for contemporary people to learn for a long time, and it is no different from learning an alien language in terms of difficulty. If the traverser doesn't want to teach, no one can crack it, and it's absolutely safe.

"Uncle, why are you so ...... come up with the solution? Is that special? Bo Jiao has nothing to say on the issue of tattoos, this set of things made by Hong Tao is really easy to use, but he feels very awkward when he tattoos a row of numbers on people, and he has no choice but to vent with whining.

"Don't talk nonsense, that's a quid pro quo for not using the veto, if you have a better way, just put it up, as long as it works, I'll agree. If not, then go back and have a meeting with your ministers to study it, and I and the parliament are waiting for your new proposal. As for how to convince the parliament to pass your proposal, you are no stranger, right? It's okay to be unfamiliar, so let's practice again. Hong Tao is not sure that his proposal will be accepted by the parliament, but he doesn't have to worry about this issue, Bo Jiao is the prime minister of the empire, and he is not in his position and does not seek his own politics.

"I want to ask a question, uncle, if this proposal does pass, will you get a tattoo on your neck? Is my aunt happy or not? Is the salamander happy or not? "How to bargain with the council, Bo Jiao has already found a way, and he is not too worried about this problem. Relatively speaking, how to enforce this law is what he is most concerned about, if the bill is enacted, but everyone is unwilling to do it, or because the law brings a lot of trouble to himself and the government, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

"Don't worry, as long as you are sure that the bill can be passed, you don't have to wait for the voting results, I will immediately ask Bai Xiang to tattoo one on my neck, and then stretch my neck every day to go out in circles. Once the bill is passed, the first person to get a tattoo on the neck is the royal family, everyone, no one is bad! How's that, now rest assured, right? Hong Tao did not hesitate at all about the question raised by Bo Jiao, he originally thought so. Although the royal family has no real power, it is still very effective to take the lead, since it is their own idea, of course, they must play an exemplary role, whether Bo Zhu and Hong Salamander agree or not, this is the law, even if they are tied up, they have to do it, there is no discussion.

"You are open-minded, I still have to think about what to say to my daughter-in-law when I go back......" Bo Jiao had to give a thumbs up, his uncle is really ruthless, and he really loves this country. As long as it is beneficial to the country, he will go out, not only himself, but also his family.

The problem is that the emperor is all out of the way, what should others do? Pinch your nose and follow closely, that's the power of example. Now Bo Jiao kind of understands why there is a position of emperor who has no rights in the empire, there are some things that the government can't forcibly promote, but the emperor can. This effect is usually not seen, and you can't feel it if you don't think about it carefully, but it does work.
