4716. Chapter 4716 Household Registration of Tang People


Chapter 4716 Tang Family Registration

During this period, the big food countries in the West expanded crazily, and foreign wars continued for years. The powerful navy and army advanced hand in hand, treating everyone as enemies, killing and plundering wildly, and there was no need for tens of thousands of armies to march eastward and westward. The logistics and equipment are heavy, and wherever they are attacked, they are fighting to support the war, destroying everything that is put under the front of the troops.

It was like a wild beast swooping down from the top of the mountain and tearing everything to pieces.

However, the Tang Dynasty was different.

"A land of etiquette" sounds like a mockery, but this civilization, which has been dominated by farming for thousands of years, has always retained the essence of simplicity and kindness. If something is lacking, the first thing to think of is to create it with your own hands, rather than to When a neighbor robs his or her house, "compassion for others" is a tradition ingrained in one's bones.

Even though the Tang Dynasty navy is now rampaging across the ocean with a tyrannical attitude, and the barbarians of the foreign countries are as vulnerable as livestock to the horizontal sword, they have never committed the crime of slaughtering their people and occupying their country. Even the Japanese country, which suffered the most harm, only provoked them. The confrontation between the two major ethnic groups on the mainland and then profiting from it.

Thousands of years of "state of etiquette" have allowed the people of the Tang Dynasty to know what "propriety, justice and integrity" are, and understand that this is the essence that distinguishes humans from animals, allowing them to rely on force to plunder and massacre unscrupulously. This is difficult to do, and everyone can do it. I felt conflicted and thought it was the behavior of an animal.

After all, people in the Tang Dynasty understand what "right and wrong" mean. Even if they have to do something, they at least know that it is wrong, and they will regret it and change it in the future.

Instead of taking plunder, massacre, and bullying as a matter of course.

The Tang army did not intend to seize land in Luzon, nor would they massacre the natives of Luzon for no reason. The reason why they used excuses such as "purchase" and "lease" was just in case, for the unknowable situation in a few years. Make a note and leave a "justifiable" excuse, that's all.

The Tang Dynasty had a vast territory. It was called Xia because of its great etiquette, and it was called Hua because of its beautiful costumes. Who could value the land of these barbarians?

What is needed is nothing more than property, which can be obtained through commercial means rather than barbaric killing and plundering.

……

Soon, the chief of the "Iluo people" arrived out of breath. In the middle of the night, when Luzon was the coolest, the chief was sweating profusely. After entering the Chinese army's tent, he was trembling with fear. He bowed carefully and saluted with lame words. Greetings in Chinese: "How are you generals? I wonder why I have summoned you?"

As soon as I saw Lecombe, a guy who was supposed to be sleeping peacefully in the city, appearing here, I subconsciously felt that it would not be a good thing, and I felt very worried and terrified.

Xi Junmai said with a smile: "Chief Lekum thought of something that would have the best of both worlds, so I invited you here, and we can discuss it together to see if it is feasible. Don't worry, the people of the Tang Dynasty have always been very particular about the relationship between you and me. The chief only needs to make a decision, and there is no need to worry about the Tang people’s retaliation afterwards. There is no need at all.”

He waved his hand and asked Lekum to personally tell the "strategy" he presented to the "Ilo people" chief.

Lecombe had no choice but to bite the bullet and elaborate on the strategy of dedicating himself to the Tang people...

The "Iluo" chief was furious. If Tang Ren hadn't been present, he would have bitten Lekum into pieces and swallowed him!

How could there be such a despicable and vicious person in the world? !

The "Iluo people" have been cultivating rice for generations, and they have benefited greatly from the transactions with the Tang people. They have a tendency to surpass the "Tagalog people", but now they are framed by Lekum and are in pain.

Without such a piece of land suitable for growing rice, how can the "Iluo people" make a living?

Under this ebb and flow, within a few years, the "Ilo people" will become slaves of the "Tagalog people"...

Xi Junmai and Yang Zhou looked at the two people with interest. Feeling the angry gaze of the "Iluo people" chief, they both laughed.

Even though the Tang army was invincible, it would take a long time to sail across the ocean to reach an island like Luzon. The climate, terrain, water and soil, etc. would all restrict the combat effectiveness of the Tang army. It might end up being a protracted guerrilla war in which the gains outweigh the losses.

Only when the local ethnic groups were hostile to each other could the Tang Dynasty be able to do business, farm, and mine here safely and safely, instead of spending huge manpower and material resources fighting these indigenous peoples.

The "Iluo" chief was obviously not an impulsive and reckless person. Although he was filled with hatred in his heart, he also knew that the first priority was how to reply to the Tang people, not to settle accounts with the "Tagalogs".

The natives are not all stupid. The chief thought for a few times and suddenly made an unexpected move. He prostrated himself at the feet of Xi Junmai and spoke sincerely: "The Yiluo people have been farming for generations, and they yearn for the Chinese civilization the most. , willing to raise the whole family to be a Tang people All the food obtained from farming, except enough for food, will be donated to the Tang people free of charge. There is only one condition for the "Iluo people". I hope that the Tang Dynasty can give the loyal "Iluo people" a chance to become a Tang people. Opportunity.”

Everyone in the house was shocked.

Yang Zhou looked at the "Iluo" chief lying on the ground in surprise. How dare a mere Luzon native dare to dream of becoming a Tang Dynasty?

However, if the "Iluo people" can really cultivate rice for the Tang Dynasty in Luzon, it is not impossible to have a Tang Dynasty household registration...

Xi Junmai stroked the stubble on his chin and was silent, obviously thinking about whether it was feasible.

After being shocked and stunned, Lekum immediately woke up and yelled loudly: "You bastard! Among the great Tang Dynasties, how can we, the foreigners and barbaric barbarians, covet this beautiful country?"

He was really afraid. If the Tang people really accepted that "Iluo people" could become Tang people, then they would be a family. When the time comes to join forces, how could the "Tagalog people", the "outsiders", have a way to survive?

It is said that "Iluo people" are hardworking and honest, but they are simply blind. Look how treacherous this guy in front of you is?

Xi Junmai pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head under the expectant eyes of the "Iluo" chief: "This is such a big matter, how can I, a general, make the decision? Even if I agree to you now, I am just deceiving you. That’s all.”

The eyes of the chief of the "Iluo people" dimmed quickly. Did he really want to turn his entire family into slaves?

Lecum breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the Tang people would agree, which would put the "Tagalog people" in danger.

However, before he was completely reassured, he heard Xi Junmai continue: "...it is related to the household registration of the Tang Dynasty, and it needs to be decided by the court. I will write the matter into a document and report it according to the facts. Waiting But in my opinion, it is the decision of the Central Committee to add the entire Yiluo people to the Tang household registration. It’s definitely not possible. People all over the world know how rare it is to have household registration in the Tang Dynasty. Which of the tens of thousands of Hu people in Chang’an City doesn’t dream of becoming a Tang person? But if we treat those Hu people who have made special contributions to the Tang Dynasty, maybe? You can be open-minded.”

In fact, the Central Committee has already discussed this aspect. The Tang Dynasty is at its peak and dominates the world. Hu people all over the world are full of yearning for the Tang Dynasty. They are trying their best to find all the ways to become a true Tang Dynasty person and enjoy the treatment of the Tang Dynasty people. This has long been It has become a social phenomenon that cannot be ignored by the central government.

But the debate was fierce.

On the one hand, they believe that the Tang Dynasty is supreme, and Tang people’s household registration cannot be granted to foreigners, to avoid chaos and someone making profits from it. On the other hand, they believe that the Tang Dynasty is now the best in the world. If they can attract those with outstanding talents or outstanding contributions to the Tang Dynasty, Seniors joined the Tang Dynasty and obtained Tang household registration, which greatly promoted the attraction of talents from all over the world.

If all the good talents are absorbed, other countries will have one less talent. As one goes and the other goes up, the Tang Dynasty will naturally prosper forever. What can other countries do to compete with the Tang Dynasty?

Moreover, it is not that there are no precedents for Hu people to become people of the Tang Dynasty, such as Ashina Simo, Ashina Zhong, Zhi Wansili, etc. are all Hu people. Nowadays, they are all granted titles and generals, and their status is high.

The chief of the "Iluo people" survived the desperate situation. He shed tears of joy and his eyes were red: "General, please rest assured that from now on, every 'Iluo people' will regard themselves as Tang people and work hard to make contributions to the Tang Dynasty." Outstanding contribution, and I hope that the people of Tang Dynasty can regard the 'Iluo people' as family members, love each other and never betray!"

What can we do without land?

So what if the rice grown was donated to the Tang Dynasty for free?

As long as they can gain the ally of the Tang Dynasty, the descendants of the "Iluo people" will have the strongest backing. No matter whether it is the "Tagalog people" or the "Bikol people", no one will dare to abuse them at will. Ilo people”?

We can even imagine that one day, the "Iluo people" will unify Luzon with the help of the Tang people, trample the "Tagalog people", "Bikol people" and even the "Moluo Yu people" under their feet, and make them slaves for generations. For the maid...

Lekum's face turned pale, and he realized that something was wrong. He originally came to drain the cauldron and throw the "Iluo people" into the abyss of eternal destruction. However, in the blink of an eye, the "Iluo people" climbed onto the high tree of the Tang people, and the situation turned out to be extremely unfavorable to him. ?

This is not possible!

In his haste, he quickly asked: "Since 'Iluo people' can become Tang people, but I wonder if 'Tagalog people' can also become people?"

Xi Junmai said: "Nature treats everyone equally."

Lekum was overjoyed at first, and then worried that the "Ilo people" could grow rice, which was something the Tang Dynasty desperately needed, but the "Tagalog people" had been lazy for generations. By virtue of occupying a land as rich as Manila Bay, they were rich in products. I’m not involved in production yet, I know nothing, I don’t have any skills!

After thinking for a while, he patted his chest and promised: "Whether the Tang Dynasty was logging or mining in Luzon, the 'Tagalog people' are willing to help!"

Mining is an extremely hard work that requires human lives. How could the people of the Tang Dynasty transport laborers across the ocean to die in vain? Although the population of "Tagalogs" is not large, if those lowly slaves can spend their lives to please the Tang Dynasty and obtain the Tang Dynasty household registration, they will be considered to have died a worthy death!

……

The new agreement was quickly signed. The "Iluo" people were hired by the Tang Dynasty to plant rice, while the "Tagalog people" contributed to helping the Tang Dynasty harvest giant trees and mine mineral deposits. The Tang Dynasty had to coordinate between the two tribes. People with outstanding performance and great contributions will be rewarded with "Datang Household Registration".

Each of the three parties gets what they need and everyone is happy.

However, they subconsciously excluded another ethnic group on Luzon Island, the "Bikols". It is conceivable that what awaits the "Bikols" must be exclusion and oppression, because for the Tang Dynasty, among the "Tagalogs" "It is already the best strategy to strike a balance with the "Ilo people", but having one more "Bikol person" will make the situation too chaotic and difficult to control. Since they are redundant, the fate of the "Bikol people" is already doomed...
