Chapter 776 Naturalization Household Registration System

The method Gao Yushi taught Huang Zhiting is called "naturalization household registration system".

The point of this method is to "plan" some Annan people who are relatively industrious and willing to work as their own people.

Its main implementation method is "discriminatory treatment".

First of all, those whose ancestors are Han, Tongren and other ethnic groups in Ming Dynasty, or whose ancestors have the blood of these ethnic groups, can apply for ethnic change at the local government—the determination conditions are very, very simple: for example, if they can speak Chinese, they can apply for ethnic change For naturalized Han people; if you can tell fairy tales, you can apply to change your ethnicity to naturalized children.

For naturalized people, the word "naturalized" can be removed after three generations.

Haidong's guarding envoy and its subordinate local yamen will only send someone to chat briefly with the applicant in Chinese or fairy tales. As long as there is basically no obstacle to communication, they will approve it directly, and try not to set too high a threshold.

Secondly, the Annan people can turn themselves into "naturalized people" by being Han people and Tong family members (including women).

Thirdly, Annan people can change their national attributes through marriage.This article is divided into two categories for men and women.

One type is that as long as an Annan woman marries a Han or a child, whether as a wife or a concubine, she will automatically become a "naturalized person"; He automatically became a Han Chinese or a child with his husband.However, if she divorces (divorces) or is divorced or remarried, all the above will be cleared.

The other category is aimed at Annan men, which is much more difficult than naturalizing women.Those who have already married their wives must first divorce their wives and expel their concubines, and then marry a Han or Tongren woman as their main wife, and they are not allowed to take concubines thereafter; those who have children before must go to the local government to declare and pledge, and transfer all their inheritance rights to The sons and daughters born to the wife after that, and the sons and daughters who were born before, are not allowed to inherit the inheritance.Only when the above two conditions are met can it be changed to a "naturalized person".

However, his sons and daughters will be directly regarded as Han people or children without going through the item of "naturalized people".

If there is an Annan man who wants to become a naturalized person but cannot accept the condition of not taking concubines, then there is another flexible way to let go of concubines: donate.

It is very expensive to accept donations: only 1000 taels of silver can be donated to get a quota of concubines as naturalized people.

Moreover, if you want to take more concubines, the price for the second place is 2000 taels, the third is 4000 taels, and the fourth is 8000 taels.

This is the end, the maximum is limited to four concubines.

Gao Yushi was hesitant about this at first, but after thinking about it, he had to give Annan's rich people a chance to sharpen their heads and become a naturalized person, and at the same time give them a chance to compare, so he came up with this moth.

The most fearful thing about ruling this kind of thing is that the people below have no room for advancement.If Annan's rich people still can't find a way to improve their status, they will only rebel in the end.

Therefore, I will give you room for improvement, and the method is simple and rude: just give money.

Oh, and there is an additional condition: concubines cannot accept Han women or virgin women, and children born to concubines have no inheritance rights.

Mr. Gao was firm on this point: There are still so many people in Ming Dynasty who are single, but it is not your turn for Annan people to take concubines on the heads of Han people and children.I want you to marry a Han Chinese or a Tongren official wife, that’s for the sake that your children will be Han Chinese and Tongren, and you can bring your inheritance to Daming—after all, ordinary Annan people want to marry a Han Chinese or Tongren It's impossible for a regular wife to have no property.

But there is one most important question here, that is, why do Annan people have to sharpen their heads and insist on being Han Chinese, children, and naturalized people?
Obviously, it has to be profitable.

Profit lies in two points: status and wealth.

Han Chinese and Tongren will have many advantages in terms of social status... Uh, I can’t finish this for a while. If you roughly refer to the social status of the British in India during the colonial era, it is basically the same.

In addition, there is the question of wealth.This problem can be summed up in one sentence: the tax rate that Han people and Tong people need to bear is the lowest, followed by naturalized people, and the highest tax rate for Annan natives.

How big is this gap?Probably, if the Han people need to pay a tax of one tael, then the naturalized people have to pay two taels, and the Annan natives... sorry, not three taels, you have to pay four taels.

This is no joke, four times!

Gao Yushi looked back and thought about it, if in his previous life, the personal income tax he had to pay was multiplied by four for no reason, he would definitely not be able to laugh, so why not try to get rid of this broken identity?It’s okay to be a Han Chinese or a child, but at least you have to be a naturalized person!

Although the double tax is not what they want, it is still much better than the quadruple tax, isn't it?
In addition to these, there are some other details, and Gao Wushi also told Huang Zhiting in detail.

After hearing this, Huang Zhiting was stunned for a while, and then she patted her chest with a look of "I'm so scared" and said, "Oh my God, how did you come up with these outrageous schemes? I think if you do it this way, at most In a few decades, there will be no natives in Annan, and they will all have to become Han Chinese and children!"

Gao Wushi laughed: "Isn't that good? They have all become Han Chinese children, so why are they rebelling?"

Well, in fact, rebellion has little to do with ethnicity, it is mainly a question of whether people can survive.

But...independence has a lot to do with ethnicity—I've never heard of any "core territories" like the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty that are going to be independent, right?

They are all from the same ethnic group. If you want to say that you can't survive and insist on rebelling, that's still understandable, but independence... What the hell is independence?
Aren't Shandong Han people and Shanxi Han people the same Han people, and Hunan Han people and Hubei Han people not the same Han people?
This is just like when foreigners in later generations play strategy games, when they do the Chinese part, they always follow their own thinking, thinking that it is ridiculous that Han people in different regions have different national views.

Qin Shihuang's coffin could not be held down anymore.

Therefore, if Annan implements this set of policies in the future, as long as he persists for a few decades, the natives in Annan will definitely disappear, and all of them will become Han Tongren—the Tongren must also speak Chinese when they arrive in Annan, and they are actually no different from Han people.

In other words, Annan will be all Han Chinese by then, and even if they have a chance to rebel, they will have no chance to become independent.

The Chinese language has been spoken for decades, so shouldn’t the thinking of the great unification also seep into the bone marrow?This is the power of culture.

First let you find ways to turn yourself into Han Chinese, and then even if your own generation has not been seriously affected by Han culture, those children who think they are Han Chinese since childhood will classify themselves as Han Chinese and accept Han Chinese. culture and traditions.In this way, after two or three generations, the Annan natives whose culture was wiped out naturally became completely Han Chinese.

What's more, everyone is of the yellow race, and Annan was originally a place where Han culture was seriously radiated. The imperial examinations are all in Chinese. If this is not assimilated fast enough, then unless the Annan people cheat.

Huang Zhiting sighed, and suddenly said a little lonely: "Sometimes I think, it would be great if you were really Zhang Wuxu."

"Oh?" Gao Wushi laughed, and joked, "Why? You still want me to marry your Huang family? That's impossible. Even if I'm Zhang Buxu, I'm still a student."

Huang Zhiting shook her head, she didn't look like she was joking, and said, "Father won Shannan, and the applicant also got Waiqinghua. I'm already worthy of the Huang family. Now that I have a town in Anbang, if you Zhang is true, I will So... so what if I leave it to you? Anyway, as a woman, even if I have a great fortune, who can I leave it to?"
