Chapter 14: Righteousness
What is a family register?
What is Household Registration?
The household registration document is a separate identification certificate issued by the imperial court to individuals, a necessary document to prove that "you" is "you", and it is also an indispensable information used by the imperial court to distinguish between nobles and commoners, to levy taxes on each family according to the amount of property, to stipulate food, to recruit people to participate in conscription, or to organize young and middle-aged people to participate in the military.
In recent years, under the vigorous promotion of the crown prince Gu Cang, the verification of the people's household registration has become stricter, and the name, age, place of origin, occupation, appearance, and the amount of wealth owned by each person in each family must be strictly and meticulously examined, and every year the local yamen must be organized to re-census and register everyone, and include the files。
Not only that, but even as soon as every baby is born, it must be immediately sent to the yamen to verify the information and record it, and the death of the elderly must be reported to the yamen immediately, and weddings and funerals must be reported.
Although things have become cumbersome and complicated, and there is no benefit in a short period of time, not only has the people complained, but even the public officials in the yamen feel that it is a waste of time, but in the end it is not a big deal, under the impetus of Gu Cang's death order, things are going quite smoothly, and after a long time, people will adapt and get used to it.
Of course, there are advantages, first of all, many lawbreakers, or spies from other countries, because their origins are vague and cannot be explained, so they are naturally clear at a glance.
And no matter who the court wants to find right away, it becomes even simpler, because everything is on the throne, and if you can't verify your files, and if you don't have a household registration document, ordinary people can't even enter the city.
And even the distribution of inheritance, etc., has become extremely convenient to manage, will not cause controversy, such as the Wang family scholar before Huangsha County, out a few years, his father died, and the family property was occupied by his uncle, if this kind of thing is outside Huangsha County, directly find the yamen, and call up the annual files, it can prove that his father is the head of the Wang family, and there is no need to go to the yamen to make a statement, spend time investigating, and even if it is not for Lu Yi's clear observation, he will not get a fair appeal.
What's more, this is a certificate that you are a Liangguo person, you can enjoy a series of court benefits, and once something happens, it is a talisman to seek refuge in the court.
The reason why the Rakshasa people have to stay in Huangsha County and dare not act rashly is because they don't have a household registration in this Liangguo at all, and they are not from Liangguo at all, so they can't go to other places, otherwise they can directly apply to the imperial court and migrate to the more prosperous south.
But now the Yamen of Huangsha County has directly thrown out a clear stipulation, if the Rakshasa people join the army, they will be registered and issued the household registration of Liangguo on the spot, and after a year, they can apply for the household registration of Liangguo for another family member, and after three years in the army, the whole family is from Liangguo.
This made Suotoye completely moved.
Especially before, the county government has been promoting all kinds of benefits in the city to be a Liangguo person, as well as the benefits that a Liangguo person can enjoy, and from time to time to give money, which can envy them, the outsiders of the Rakshasa clan.
In fact, since they left the desert, they didn't think about going back, and now they are caught in the middle, not embarrassed or embarrassed, if they can get an official identity from the imperial court, they are naturally very happy, and are willing to make some efforts for it.
After thinking about it, Sotoya hurriedly urged his friend next to him: "Take me quickly!"
The young man sighed, and took the lead and ran to the entrance of the market, with Sotoya following behind, not even bothering to take the stall.
At the same time at the entrance of the market, a large number of people had gathered at this time.
Zhu Dachun, who already had a high reputation in the city, as well as Gu Xuan, and Lu Yi, were in charge, and there were some temporarily transferred soldiers standing guard with weapons, ready to suppress possible riots.
The people of Huangsha County have always had a bad impression of Chen Anmin, after all, he is a person from Xu Sanjin of Lao Zhi County, and it is not a matter of one or two days to oppress them, so it will save disgusting people, and Jinglong does not want to see these Rakshasa people at all, for fear that he will lose his words, so both of them were left in the county government by Gu Xuan to do other things.
Seeing that after hearing the news all around, the crowd that gradually gathered around, Gu Xuan said to the right-hand men on the left and right with a surprised face: "I didn't expect that there are so many Rakshasa people in Huangsha County!"
In fact, in the county government of Huangsha County, the registered people are only a thousand households, and if you want to rely on such a few people to form an army, it is completely a fool's dream, among them, there are old and young, young and middle-aged people all add up, there are only a few hundred people, and they are not used at all, so under the inspiration of the mixed-race maid Ruyu, Gu Xuan immediately thought of the idea of relying on the Rakshasa clan who settled in the city to form an army。
There is nothing superbly about the plan, and it even seems very utilitarian, but at least it is effective enough, and to deal with anyone, you have to use the corresponding method, and you use your ideals to persuade these illiterate Rakshasa clans, which is really not as effective as a piece of meat.
Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Zhu Dachun, who was sitting on the chair next to him, also sighed: "Yes, over the years, the Rakshasa clan who have secretly run from the desert one after another, and the number of people who have taken root in Huangsha County is about the same as the original Liangguo people. ”
Lu Yi looked at the crowd below, nodded and said: "The Rakshasa people are naturally tall and good at fighting, especially good at riding battles, if there is enough supply of war horses, Huangsha County can really have fangs, so that outsiders dare not peep easily." ”
The reason why the Rakshasa people can run rampant outside the fortress and poison the border for a hundred years is not destroyed, in addition to the complex environment in the sand sea, which is not suitable for large-scale marching, and because of their natural physical fitness, it is far stronger than the people of Liangguo, the characteristics of the Rakshasa people are long hands and feet, and the strength is great, one-on-one, the general Liangguo people are not able to beat the Rakshasa people, and this difference in body is more obvious when riding battles, if you can really form a cavalry composed of all the Rakshasa people, and then train, the power will be extraordinary。
Gu Xuan didn't have much confidence in this, but just sighed: "It's not easy to talk about, now even the armor and weapons of the soldiers are not complete, and the matter of war horses is too far away." ”
The cavalry is the most prominent and expensive type of troops, and it is a soldier who costs a lot of money in face, Huangsha County is now poor and white, and it has just started, where do you have the strength to think about this.
The major horse farms in the Liang Kingdom, they are all the hearts and minds of the armies, that is, people of Gu Cang's level, can pull out two horses from the Hulan Ranch, and the others, who dares to snatch war horses from the hands of these generals?
Even the Xiong Zhen Army, which is in the middle and upper combat effectiveness of the Ninth Army, has not been able to get a large-scale supply, and now the army that can be equipped with all the war horses is nothing more than the Fierce Guard, the Xiao Cavalry Guard, the Bloody Army and the Tiger Army.
Minerals can still be found, but there are only so many horse farms, and it is impossible to share the profits with them, unless he becomes the prince.
Zhu Dachun naturally knew this, and could only comfort him at the moment: "We rely on the city as the defender, even if we have cavalry, it is not very useful, right?"
Lu Yi just smiled at this, and the three of them didn't dwell on it anymore.
While the three people above were communicating, there were original soldiers below, loudly announcing the policies and conscription orders of the county government to the people who came around.
This application is not mandatory, but as long as the applicants, how much money, food and housing, and all kinds of benefits are clearly explained, especially about household registration, it is even more focused on publicity, which provokes many Rakshasa people at the bottom, and they are all golden.
In the crowd, there were also many people arranged in advance by the county government, pointing and pointing in the crowd, deliberately saying good things for the conscription order.
"I see that they stand guard every day, don't worry about three meals, and have money to get, such an easy job is much better than selling meat and cutting mounds. ”
"That's right, and the city wall of our Huangsha County is high, if you really have to come to attack the city with a long eye, it must be nothing to hide behind. ”
"And the prince is wise and martial, martial arts are strong, didn't you see that last time he was at the north city gate, he repelled so many horse bandits by himself, as long as he followed him, what are you afraid of!"
"Hehe, maybe he will be valued by the prince and become a personal guard, and it will be different from then on. ”
"That's right, when the time comes, even the Youzhou Army can't compare to us!"
"Is it so powerful?"
"You are stupid, Youzhou Junda, or the prince, the prince, that is His Majesty's own son!"
"Really?
"Hey, are you a fool, Lord Wang, aren't you the son of His Majesty to be crowned king?"
"That's right, so let's sign up later?"
"That's a must!"
These people mingled in the crowd and said something very incendiary, mainly to dispel the concerns of outsiders.
Any race, it is the nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, once you choose to be a soldier, it means that you may have to go to the battlefield at any time, once you are on the battlefield, life and death are not up to yourself, so the beginning of this step is the most difficult, when you really get to the army, after arriving in that atmosphere, you will not be afraid, after all, no one wants to be looked down upon by comrades, right? And train together, eat together, sleep together, and when you integrate into the collective, the will of the individual will be covered by the will of the collective, and there will be absolutely no opposition when the superior gives an order, which is the importance of training.
But it was really difficult to get people to muster up the courage to enlist at the beginning, so those who took the initiative to join the army were real warriors.
After the subordinates had almost finished what they had to say, Gu Xuan stood up and shouted, "Everyone!"
After he was lucky, he roared, and the scene, which was originally very noisy, suddenly quieted down, compared to the people who were spit on the side of the road when he first came, even if he took the initiative to send money, there were very few people who came, and the change in the middle can be described as great, and his prestige was completely established after these incidents, coupled with the propaganda of the yamen's intention, now that he gave an order, few people would really stand up and sing the opposite.
After all, the people are not stupid, and seeing this little prince retreat from the enemy at the gate of the city is still a little touched, isn't it?
Seeing that the people below had focused their attention, Gu Xuan said with satisfaction: "Today's Yamen recruitment, there is no other reason, since the previous Youzhou army has been withdrawn, then we have to rely on ourselves now, there are wolves outside now, they all covet our homeland, and this Huangsha County, that is our common home, we are all obliged to protect it, right?"
"Yes!"
"That's what the prince said!"
"The prince is wise!"
The people who had already been planted below shouted loudly with their mouths open, but few responded, and most of them still held a wait-and-see attitude for the time being.
Seeing that the reaction of the people below was still not very enthusiastic, Gu Xuan suddenly slapped the table fiercely and said loudly to the bottom: "Hey, I won't say anything vain, I know what everyone is thinking, afraid of death, who is not afraid of death, of course I am also afraid of death! And I know that something happened to the Yamen a few days ago, and many brothers were attacked and assassinated by thieves, but because of this, we have to give in to them?"
"Are we going to beg them for mercy like dogs, begging them not to come? Or are we going to get some money together and go out to bribe them? Or are we going to sacrifice all the women and children? It's useless! You and I both know that it's useless! Once we compromise, we will only pay more, and it's the wolves outside! They won't retreat if we don't eat and wipe us clean, and they will never covet us until they beat these people up at the beginning!"
Gu Xuan said that he was excited, and suddenly ripped off the blindfold on the left, pointed to the empty eye sockets, and said excitedly to the people below: "I'm not afraid to tell you directly, the reason why I wasn't there a few days ago was that I went to Yanzhou to ask for help from the Yanzhou army, and on the way back, I was surrounded and attacked by thieves, and I escaped back after nine deaths!
"What do I want to say? I just want to tell you! I, Gu Xuan, am fucking, the dignified and upright five princes of Liangguo, my father is the emperor, I can just leave and return to the capital to live a happy life, but why didn't I leave? It is because you are all the people of my Liangguo, without you, there would be no Liangguo, what kind of prince and what prince I, that is, a fart! If I leave, what will you do? Those people above don't care about your life and death, but I care!"
Gu Xuan patted his chest and walked into the crowd below, everyone looked at him in a daze, their expressions changing.
He looked around, made eye contact with everyone, then stepped on the ground fiercely, and said loudly: "Here, it's the fucking land of our Liangguo, unless we don't want it ourselves, otherwise we can't give it to others, and now you come to join the army, it's not for me, it's for yourself, because this is everyone's Huangsha County, not my personal, this is everyone's home, and if the home is gone, what are we?"
Seeing that there were already many people ready to make a move at this moment, Gu Xuan continued to shout: "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to give you a guarantee? Then I'm sorry, I can't guarantee it, because I can't even guarantee that I won't survive, but what I can guarantee is that you will be fed, wear the best armor, and hold the best sword, what I can guarantee is that when the enemy comes, I will rush in front of you, not hide behind you, and now I will ask, for the sake of Huangsha County, can you stand up with me!"
The scene fell silent for a moment, and no one spoke.
Gu Xuan stood in place, looking at the people around him, extremely embarrassed.
He was very sad, but not disappointed in the people of Huangsha County, but disappointed in himself, it turned out that after talking for so long and working hard for so long, he didn't even have an eye, and the result was still useless.
Maybe I'm just a waste, he thought, what he said before leaving, what changes the world, innovates the human race, what sees mountains and opens mountains, and builds bridges when encountering water, it's all fart, I can't help the second brother.
Second brother, I'm really useless!
Maybe it would be better to go back to the capital, at least to accompany my mother.
Gu Xuan was so disheartened that he even wanted to turn around and leave directly, when suddenly a voice sounded in the crowd.
Sotoya raised his hand and shouted, "I, Sotoya, want to join the army!"
Everyone looked at it and immediately recognized this young man of the Rakshasa tribe who sold yogurt in the market every day.
The next moment, someone suddenly shouted again.
"I'm Chen Ergou to sign up!"
Everyone looked at the sound again, but it was a young man dressed in tatters, like a beggar.
The next moment, dozens of voices rang out at the same time.
"Lord Wang! I want to be a soldier!"
"Lord Wang, I am willing too!"
"And my sand and my sand and sand and me!"
"And me, and me, the prince, I, Cooper, am willing to serve the prince!"
"Add me one!"
"Lord Wang!"
"Lord Wang!"
Countless voices came and went in the crowd, Gu Xuan turned his body with it, he couldn't see it at all, he hurriedly wrapped the blindfold and covered the empty left eye, but he couldn't help but reddened his eyes, just used all his strength, gritted his teeth stubbornly, and didn't let himself cry.
Zhu Dachun on the high platform also showed excitement, and couldn't help but get up from his seat, holding his sick leg, standing on the edge of the high platform, looking left and right, with a light called hope flashing in his eyes.
Lu Yi also walked to the side with a smile, grabbed a stack of paper and a pen from the table, gently placed them on the table in front of him, then rolled up his sleeves and began to grind the ink, preparing to register the first person.
At this moment, there is only one sentence of the sage's teachings echoing in his heart.
Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help.
