The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination
Chapter 1028 Return to citizenship
Chapter 1028 Return to citizenship
"Prefect Luo is saying that the order in Zezhou Mansion is all due to your wife?" Sheng Yuan did not expect that Luo Buyan invited her over today because he wanted to confess. For a moment, she didn't know what to do. In response, he just gave a light compliment, "But I didn't expect that my wife has the talent to govern the world."
Luo Buyan resisted the urge to scratch his head and took a closer look at Shengyuan. He was relieved when he saw that her expression was calm. Although her attitude could not be seen, she was not angry either.
Speaking of his wife, Luo Buyan couldn't help but smile a little: "My wife has loved reading history books since she was a child. When it comes to talent, I would be ashamed of myself. When I was taking the scientific examination, it was thanks to my wife's help in organizing and tutoring that I was ranked on the list. "
He did not shy away from his wife's contribution in his words, which shows that they have a very good relationship as a couple.
"It can be seen that your wife is the virtuous wife of the Luo Prefecture...the husband and wife are one and the same. Your honorable wife has assisted in government affairs, and the Luo Prefecture can report it in the memorial. I think the court will also reward you."
Sheng Yuan said it tactfully, but Luo Buyan understood the implication of her words. She was asking him why he was greedy for his wife's achievements.
After all, since the founding of the Yan Dynasty, Yan, Chen, and Chu Yan, before the opening of the imperial examination for women, officials' family members often assisted their husbands in handling political affairs, and this common occurrence was recorded by historians.
Looking through the historical records of the three dynasties, there are more than twenty clear records, and there are as many as five or six related allusions and idioms.
Among them, the most famous is Yu Buxi, the wife of Tuyi, the chief minister of the cabinet during the Yan'an period.
It is said that Tuyi Tuge Lao served as an official, worked in six ministries, and then took charge of the cabinet. Along the way, his wife basically guided the country from behind.
This is recorded in the history books: "Mrs. Yu of Fuguo, whose name is Wuxi, elegant and virtuous, wise and unobtrusive, good at managing finances, versed in poetry, good at farming and water conservancy, and good at many ethnic groups. In his words, Yi valued his wisdom, respected his ability, and loved his talent. Emperor An knew about it and made him a super-quality wife."
There is such a precedent, and countless people at the same time and subsequent generations have imitated it.
Therefore, in the land covered by Yan, Chen, and Chu, most officials did not resent the involvement of family members in politics, and were even proud of it.
Even now that the women's imperial examination has been held for several times, the trend of husband and wife co-managing government affairs remains unabated.
Many girls who have participated in the scientific examinations, some got married early because they failed in repeated examinations, some quit the officialdom halfway without intending to, some only wanted to gain fame for social status, and some just wanted to prove themselves, so they quit after passing the examination... In short, Most of these girls who walked out of the examination room and then entered the inner house had a say in their husbands' political affairs.
For this reason, Sheng Yuan couldn't understand why Luo Buyan had such an extraordinary capable woman. Why didn't he openly admit it, but instead hid it?
"Governor Sheng doesn't know something!" Luo Buyan smiled bitterly, "Mrs. Xiaguan is originally from Anjun, Qizhou."
Qizhou? Anjun?
In an instant, the topographic map of Qizhou's twelve counties appeared in Shengyuan's mind, and then the location of Anjun was automatically locked.
Anjun, the former... deputy capital of Qi!
"In the year when Da Chu conquered Qi for the first time, my wife moved away from Qi with her father-in-law, and then traveled overseas for several months, and then traveled through the Western Regions and grasslands, and finally settled in Zhanzhou of Da Chu. It was also at that time that she and Xiaguan became neighbors.”
As we all know, Chu conquered Qi three times in total, and the last one was successful. Calculating the time when Da Chu conquered Qi for the first time, Sheng Yuan recalled Luo Buyan's age and found that it matched, so she nodded: "My wife's household registration at that time was Guimin?"
"Returning nationality" was proposed during the period of Emperor Chengyuan of the Great Chu Dynasty, and it was aimed at the people who had taken refuge in the former Qi Dynasty.
Of course, since there is an exclusive household registration name, it is naturally different from the general national registration.
It is said that children with "returned civil registration", after five generations, if they have not committed any crime, can go to the government office to apply for household registration conversion and change it to an ordinary civil registration in Dachu.
Before that, people with "registered citizenship" had to live in the place of household registration for generations, and were not allowed to leave the state to marry; they were not allowed to take imperial examinations, teach, join the army, serve as officials, or do business... In short, they were not allowed to do business. These people were restricted to the land where they settled.
Of course, although there are many restrictions on "returning to civil status", there are also benefits: those who settle down can be allocated five acres of land to each household. In addition, the court will allocate five acres of land to each person based on head count. In addition, the imperial court also encouraged settlers to reclaim wasteland.
From the time of settlement, the good land under their name will be tax-free for three years, and the wasteland will be tax-free for ten years. When they settle down, the government office will give them farm tools, seeds, and an additional ten taels of silver to build a house and live.
For those who are physically weak and not good at farming, from the time they settle down, the craftsmen's workshops and female beauties affiliated to the government offices and other places will accept apprentices until they graduate... Such people do not have land in their names, so the settlement fee is increased to twenty taels. Of course, if they want to open up wasteland, the treatment of wasteland will remain unchanged.
In addition, the imperial court also exempted the "returned citizens" from corvee service for three years, and for the next ten years, they could also use money to pay for the corvée service.
Because of these generous benefits, before Da Qi became Qian Qi, people from many places continued to seek refuge in Da Chu with the intention of "returning their citizenship".
Of course, after the former Qi merged with the Chu, the "returned citizens" no longer accepted new people.
……
"Mrs. Xiaguan's family... they are all citizens." Luo Buyan hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Because my father-in-law rescued an old businessman who fell into the water at sea, and the businessman had no children, I am grateful to them. Yu was very fond of each other, so he adopted his father-in-law as his adopted son and took them back to Zhanzhou.
Coincidentally, at that time, the imperial court just asked Zhanzhou to intercept the refugees; therefore, Zhanzhou re-registered the refugees and adopted them as local farmers.
The father-in-law's adoptive father took this opportunity to register his father-in-law's family in Zhanzhou, and from then on he became an ordinary citizen of Dachu... If not for this, even a lower-ranking official would not be able to ask for a wife. "
"..." Sheng Yuan resisted the urge to rub her forehead and looked at him, "Zhifu Luo is quite easy-going and doesn't care at all about the small talk. You have given a very comprehensive account of the inside story."
Sheng Yuan did not expect that Luo Buyan would confess his wife's true identity so neatly.
The family that was supposed to be a citizen turned out to be natives of Dachu, and even married a court official and became the royal wife... If it weren't for the fact that there was no imperial examination for women at that time, Luo Buyan and his wife would not have achieved fame.
Thinking of this, Sheng Yuan couldn't help but shudder.
Like the situation of Luo Buyan's father-in-law's family, how many people are there in Dachu?
It would be easier to handle if you just want Da Chu citizenship, but what if the other party comes with a purpose and intention?
