Chapter 232: Registering households and bringing together the people
The dragon boat is very fast. Even if it does not travel through the void, it still sails tens of thousands of miles in a few hours and arrives at the city of water, which is now The country of Su.
There are nine major cities in the Su Kingdom, which correspond to the nine tails of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox. Therefore, the names of the Nine Days are also very simple, directly named after the nine attributes of wind, rain, thunder, lightning, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
What Emperor Xin granted Suhou was the city of water among the nine cities. The name "water" means that there is a lot of water here. If you look around, there are lakes everywhere.
When the dragon boat arrived in front of Shuizhiyi, Ao Bing put Su Hou and others down, then refused his invitation to stay as a guest, and continued to take Daji and five thousand dragon guards towards his new fiefdom, Su City. Go.
The reason why it is five thousand, not ten thousand, is because the remaining five thousand people were left by Ao Bing to guard Su City.
It is not peaceful in a war-torn place.
After the capture of Sioux City, if you don't leave some soldiers to guard it and lead your troops to leave directly, then the nearby savages will definitely come to the city to plunder after getting the news.
Savages, people with no country, no home, no property and no land, they have no morals and no dignity. In order to survive, they are willing to do anything.
It would be strange if they didn’t rob a city as big as Su City with no one stationed in front of them. As for Ao Bing's name, it didn't scare them at all.
Because they have no knowledge, the ignorant are fearless, and they only care about the present, not caring about the future, let’s live past today.
The savages are a group of desperadoes. There are not many things in the world worth fearing. The worst they can do is die, and there is no way they will be free.
Before Ao Bing left Su City, he deliberately left five thousand dragon guards behind, just to act as a deterrent so that the nearby savages would not dare to approach Su City.
Except for the savages, no other force dares to take advantage of Su City. The foreigners were afraid of Jiuding, and the princes were afraid of Ao Bing, so they did not dare to take action. Only the ignorant and fearless savages dare to take action.
In fact, Ao Bing was quite looking forward to the foreigners and princes taking advantage of his absence to go to Su City to plunder. In this way, he would have reason to attack these forces that were plundering Su City and legitimately expand his territory.
Unfortunately, the foreign tribes and princes near Su City did not give him this opportunity.
The journey was uneventful, and the dragon boat arrived in Sioux City quickly.
Compared with when Ao Bing left, Su City has not changed much. On the other hand, the tens of billions of slaves in the city have all taken on a new look. Their faces have a little more vitality and are no longer numb.
To put it simply, it means that you have more ambition in life and see the hope of living.
At this time, almost a year has passed since Ao Bing left.
During this year, the five thousand dragon guards who stayed in Su City did only one thing according to Ao Bing's order, which was to register and create households for the slaves in the city.
Enter the slaves in the city into their household registers one by one according to their name, age, place of origin, status, appearance, wealth and other items.
This was the policy of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period of later generations. It was created by Guan Zhong and was called Bian Hu Qi Min. Managing people on a household basis is called household registration.
At the same time, under the abolition of the feudal system, local leaders such as nobles, elders, clan chiefs, etc., all are subjects of the monarch, and they are called Qi people.
The general name is to compile households and bring together the people!
This was the beginning of centralization, which liberated the population from the rule of the aristocracy and brought them all under the rule of the king instead of the aristocracy, which greatly weakened the power and wealth of the aristocracy.
At the same time, this move also enhanced the status of the savages, making them no longer savages, but civilians who were eligible to have personal wealth, education, and join the army.
Guan Zhong's organization of households and the integration of people, and Shang Yang's gathering of small villages and towns into counties, both greatly broke the old social structure and laid a firm foundation for centralization of power.
Ao Bing came from later generations and had so much advanced experience that it was impossible to just let it go.
Whether other experiences are applicable to this era, he doesn't know, but establishing households and establishing household registration for slaves is definitely applicable.
Therefore, after taking Su City and obtaining the slaves in the city, the first thing Ao Bing did was to compile households and create household registration for the slaves in the city.
Having household registration not only facilitates management, but also greatly enhances organizational strength. At the same time, it can also give more power to civilians.
Of course, the most important thing is that after the households are registered and the people are all together, Ao Bing can allocate land to them. With land, they will be able to support themselves in the future.
Ao Bing can't keep raising them all the time. It's better to teach them to fish than to teach them to fish. If you give them land and give them the capital to survive, Ao Bing will have less things to worry about.
There are tens of billions of slaves in Sioux City. It is not an easy task to make up household registration for them. But the soldiers of the Dragon Guard are not ordinary people. They are all monks in the Void Refining Realm. One person can be used by tens of thousands of people.
Five thousand people combined are comparable to hundreds of millions of ordinary people. Hundreds of millions of ordinary people registered and created households for tens of billions of ordinary people. Looking at it this way, things are much simpler.
So, in just one year, all the tens of billions of slaves in Su City have been registered as households. Not only that, even the hundreds of billions of slaves sent one after another have all registered as household registrations.
Ten billions are slaves obtained from Sioux City. The remaining 100 billion were slaves that Ao Bing obtained from other places in the Su Kingdom.
During this period, although he was in Tongtianze, his men were transporting all the slaves transported from various places to Su City, and asked the people who stayed there, Long Wei, to build households for them. . Although this matter is troublesome, no one who handles it feels bored. It's not that they have good intentions, but doing this kind of thing can not only increase their luck, but also gain merit.
Creating households for slaves and giving them identities so that they are no longer objects but living people is conducive to humanity and will naturally bring good luck to them.
At the same time, when slaves are admitted into the household, they must be given names and they must remember their names.
Although this matter is very simple, it is extremely important. It is the first step of enlightenment. Therefore, this action has the effect of enlightenment and can gain merit.
Educating households and bringing together the people not only brings luck but also merits. If they don’t do such a good thing, there are many people rushing to do it. How could they not be happy about it.
If you are not happy even a little bit, and your boss sees it and replaces you directly, there is really no place to cry.
Therefore, when the households were organized and the people were organized, the attitude of these soldiers was so good that the slaves were frightened and scared half to death.
......
"Reporting to Long Bo, according to your instructions, my subordinates and others have spent one year compiling all the hundreds of billions of people in Longcheng. Now, Their household registrations are all in this register I also asked Uncle Long to take a look.”
Not long after Ao Bing arrived at Su City, no, it should be said that it was Long City. A jade book told him.
Su City is now Ao Bing's fiefdom, and it is inappropriate to call it Su City anymore. Therefore, Ao Bing changed the name of Su City. It was originally called Jiuzu Longcheng, which was taken from the Nine Dragon Veins.
But soon, he felt it didn't sound good, so he simply omitted the word "nine" and named it Longcheng.
In the future, there will be a Suhua Domain, not a Soviet Domain, but a Nine-Headed Dragon Domain, or simply a Dragon Domain.
"A register?"
Ao Bing reached out and took the register containing the information about the people of Longcheng, placed it in front of his eyes, and started to read it casually.
Before the people were registered, these people were slaves. But after the people were registered, they became citizens of the Human Dragon Kingdom, and naturally they could not continue to be called slaves.
According to the system, they should be called human dragon people, or dragon people. Ao Bing felt that it didn't sound good, so he called them common people.
Common people have extraordinary significance in this era. Only nobles, that is, the descendants of the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors and the sages of the human race, have surnames. The rest don't even have a given name, let alone a surname.
Ao Bing refers to his people as common people, but he simply says that his people are all descendants of nobles. This move will undoubtedly improve Ao Bing's prestige in the hearts of his people, but at the same time, it will also cause dissatisfaction among the other princes.
If it were anyone else, he might have scruples, but Ao Bing didn't care. Now he is not afraid that the princes will cause trouble for him, but he is afraid that the princes will not cause trouble for him.
In order to get the princes to agree to build a void passage, Ao Bing made an agreement with them not to initiate a war. This makes it impossible for him to attack other princes without any reason. He needs other princes to provoke him first.
This made Ao Bing, who was eager to expand his territory, very embarrassed. How could he expand his territory without attacking other vassal states? You can’t just spend money on it, right?
In order to let other princes take the initiative to provoke him and give him a reason to attack, Ao Bing needed to do something to stimulate the other princes at this moment.
Calling the people as common people is just the beginning. Next, he will only become more and more excessive, even more than Emperor Xin, until the other princes can't stand it anymore and take the initiative to attack him.
“Near Dragon City, there are more than 120 billion people, a total of more than 12 billion households, 2.4 billion neighbors, 480 million miles away, and 120 million ethnic groups. , 24 million parties, 4.8 million states, and 960,000 townships."
While Ao Bing was flipping through the books, the Xuangui clan members gathered at the side.
To organize the people into households, the household is only the most basic unit. Above the household, there are also units such as neighbours, li, clan, party, state, township and so on.
According to the standards set by Ao Bing, ten people are a household, five households are neighbors, five neighbors are li, four li are clans, five clans are parties, five parties are states, and five states are townships.
A township has about 12,500 households and 125,000 people. One hundred and twenty billion people is a lot, but a township of 960,000 seems to be a lot less.
The book is as big as two palms and as wide as two fingers, but it can record the information of 120 billion people. It is obvious that this is a magic weapon.
Originally, it was just an ordinary magic weapon, used to record information for easy reference. But because of its effect, it has causal connections with hundreds of billions of people.
At this point, this treasure began to undergo transformation. It first attracted the favor of the human race's fate, and then attracted the attention of humanity, making it a treasure of humanity.
At present, although it has no offensive power, it can separate out jade charms to prove the identity of the people on the register. It is similar to the ID cards of later generations, but it is more advanced.
This jade talisman is one for each person. It can not only represent the identity, but also show whether the owner is alive or dead, and his location.
I was embarrassed. I thought I could finish writing at six o'clock, but I got stuck.
