Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 275 The Origin of the Winner's Ancestors

Regarding the matter of the surname, Zhao Qingrui brought it up for discussion during the court meeting on the second day.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed a good thing for Qianshou to have a surname, which is convenient for management." Zhou Yan stood up again.

"The Er clan is the root of nobility, don't give up."

Zhou Yan said that there are many supporters in the court, these are basically the nobles of the six countries in the past, and some old Qin people.

"That's right, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is now appointing the head of Guizhou, and we have regressed. Now Your Majesty is digging our roots."

"My minister agrees."

"Surname, so don't marry, family, so don't be noble or humble, clan is the branch of the surname, used to distinguish the birth of children and grandchildren, and it cannot be abolished."

Listening to these people's words, Zhao Qingrui was very calm. Her father had already told her before, and she was mentally prepared.

"My lords, didn't you hear what I said? I never said that the clan would be abolished, it's just that it will no longer be recorded in the household registration book. It doesn't matter if you want to use the court in the future." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.

Aristocrats, don't worry now, we will slowly solve the problem in the future, the aristocratic system must be abolished.

Counting up a few generations, which one is better.

Even her own ancestors, she knew something from the books.

The history of the family can be traced back to Zhuanxu of the Five Emperors. Zhuanxu has many descendants, and most of them have established their own families.

Here, there is a granddaughter named Nüxiu who gave birth to a son named Daye. According to the tradition of the patrilineal clan, Daye should be counted as No.1 in Qin Shihuang's family.

However, he didn't have any achievements. It was his son Da Fei who really started to influence their family a bit.

Da Fei once worked with Dayu to control the floods, and was arranged by Shun to be a beast trainer.Of course, not for circus performances, but for breeding.

Because of the meritorious service in breeding, "Shun bestowed the surname Ying."In other words, Da Fei is the founder of the family with the surname Ying, and his father is only the first person in the blood relationship.

Da Fei has two sons. The eldest son is called Da Lian. This man later established the ancient Huang Kingdom, and the current Huang surname basically comes from here.The second son, named Ruomu, established the Xu State, which is the origin of the Xu surname.

Fei Chang is Ruomu's son, Zhong Yan is Da Lian's son, and they both worked as drivers.When Shang Tang conquered the Xia Dynasty, Fei Chang drove the chariot for Shang Tang.

Zhongyan is a descendant of Dalian, and the Shang emperor at that time was Taiwu. Through divination, he said that it would be auspicious to find Zhongyan as his driver.

Therefore, Zhongyan became Taiwu's special driver.Because of becoming an emperor, Zhongyan's family began to emerge in the Shang Dynasty and gradually grew stronger, "so Ying's surname was more prominent, so he became a prince."

Fei Lian is a descendant of Zhongyan and has great strength.Elai is the son of Fei Lian, a marathon runner.Because of his high athletic talent, he gained the trust of King Zhou.

Apart from Elai, Fei Lian has other descendants, and a person named Zaofu came out from another lineage.This person is also a driver, and he is the driver for the most mythical King Mu of Zhou in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Although Elai was killed at the beginning, his descendants were not killed. At this time, they are attached to Zaofu, and they all live in Zhaocheng, and they are also changed to Zhao.

Among the descendants of Elai, there is a man named Feizi, who inherited the skills of his ancestor Bai Yi, and is very good at raising horses.Under his feeding, "Ma Da Fan Xi".

Therefore, King Xiao of Zhou enfeoffed the land of Qin to Feizi, and let him restore the surname Ying, for Ying Feizi, also known as Qin Feizi, who was the founding ancestor of Qin.It's just that the Qin State at this time was only a vassal of the Zhou royal family, not a real prince.

In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, Qin Zhong made meritorious deeds in defeating Xirong, and was granted the title of Doctor Xi Chui, who was passed on to his eldest son, Duke Zhuang of Qin.Duke Xiang of Qin is the second son of Duke Zhuang of Qin. His eldest brother and father knew that he had great ambitions, so he gave up the crown prince to Duke Xiang of Qin.

My ancestor was just a horse-raiser and a charioteer, and today's family business is inseparable from the hard work of the ancestors.

As for the other aristocrats, their ancestors were not too prominent, and it was only through bit by bit development that they became what they are today.

Zhao Qingrui's words calmed them down a bit, but they still had a cold face, unwilling to make concessions on this matter.

It is only recorded in the household registration book, but after several generations, how many people still remember their clan.

They are nobles, and shi is the best proof to distinguish them from nobles and pariahs.

If Shi disappeared, what is the difference between them and those untouchables?
The nobles have clans, while the lowly ones don't. Such a system allows them to enjoy the rights brought by clans. Naturally, they are unwilling to give up such a superior life.

The surname on the household registration book cannot be cancelled.

Ying Zheng's eyes swept over these people, and he already knew in his heart that those people objected.

"Don't make mistakes, the prince is also for the better management of my Daqin, or do you have other thoughts about Daqin?" Ying Zheng's majestic voice sounded from above everyone's heads.

"Your Majesty is wise, His Royal Highness is wise, and I agree with His Highness's proposal." Li Si stood up directly and said loudly.

Li Si is different from the nobles in Daqin. He climbed up from the bottom to the position of left chancellor. He wasted countless efforts, and he very much agreed with Zhao Qingrui's proposal that he no longer record his clan.

Li Si's words fell, and many people stood up to support them. These people are basically people with no foundation. It is their own ability to climb to the current position, not relying on the shadow of their ancestors.

His existence is unfair to most people.

Now that Zhao Qingrui has handed them the ladder, they immediately seized the opportunity to abolish the decadent aristocratic system.

There are not many nobles left in the imperial court, as well as the old Qin people who stayed before.

Under Zhao Qingrui's series of system revisions, the incompetent and those who committed crimes were basically eliminated, and the rest were capable.

The brothers Feng Quji beside him didn't speak, neither supported nor opposed.

Feng Quji watched this scene silently, which also affected their Feng family.

He also knew that only by following in the footsteps of His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince would he not be kicked out of the team.

If they still hold on to the previous idea, thinking that relying on the two brothers, the Feng family can maintain its current prosperity and wealth, but unfortunately, it is simply unrealistic now.

The crown prince is Zhao Qingrui, not the son Fusu. There is a world of difference between her and Fusu. She basically does not represent the interests of the nobles. What she values ​​more is how to make the head of Guizhou live better.

Feng Quji looked at the First Emperor who was sitting at the top, and sighed softly in his heart. He knew that this was His Majesty's intention, and this was the general trend.

They can't wait any longer. If they are abandoned by His Majesty, the glory of the Feng family will no longer be maintained.

Now that the number of talents in the court is gradually increasing, Zhao Qingrui has the intention of wantonly rectifying the court. If there is no change, all that awaits them is their decline.

He can see Zhang Liang's ability, Wang Xian is not bad, Lu Zhi who is following Zhao Qingrui is also good, and there are some people who came out of Jingshui Pavilion, depending on what Zhao Qingrui means, the position of the prime minister in the future , I'm afraid I have to choose among these people.

"Your Majesty, I also agree with the proposal of His Highness the Crown Prince. It is for the great affairs of the whole world. Your Highness is considerate, but the ministers are not careful." Feng Quji said respectfully.

Feng Quji stood up, and Feng Jie immediately followed suit. He could also think of what Feng Quji thought of.

Zhou Yan and the others are simply unable to fight against the general trend of the DPRK and China. In this case, it is better to go with the flow and accumulate some goodwill with Zhao Qingrui.

Honestly obey Zhao Qingrui's words, even if she wants to clean up the nobles, she will not hit the Feng family hard.

On the other side, Chun Yuyue's face was a little ugly, and he was also one of those who stood up to oppose it.

He kept winking at Fusu, but it was a pity that Fusu didn't seem to see it.

Fusu naturally saw it, but after Zhao Qingrui stated the benefits of only recording the surname, he also felt that it was a good thing. After all, what Zhao Qingrui said was that the surname had not been abolished, and they could continue to use it.

As for the follow-up, he didn't think too much about it, as long as it was a good thing.

Feng Quji stood up, the two prime ministers in the court agreed, and His Majesty supported His Royal Highness, and there were not many people who opposed it, so their opinions seemed unimportant.

Then Ying Zheng asked them to discuss the surname of Qianshou. There are still a lot of Qianshous without surnames, and there are still a bunch of the same names. With so many things, some headaches.

After discussing all kinds of things, it was already past noon, and at any rate, the discussion came to a result.

"That being the case, according to my decree, the household registration will be revised, only the surname will be recorded, not the surname, and those who do not have a surname will use the surname of the place in each place."

After the imperial decree was issued, the officials in charge of the household registration had to re-document the household registration, and they were almost crazy busy.

This is ancient times, without computers, everything has to be written.

Zhao Qingrui asked them to register according to the form, and it would take a lot of time to rearrange these things.

The population of Daqin is not large, just over 2000 people. In the past two years, life has been a little better, and there have been more newborns.

To get the household registration book again, it needs to be handwritten, and it is related to the country's household registration, so they dare not slack off. If there is any problem with the household registration, they will be finished.

There were several rooms in the previous household registration. To tidy these up, the person in charge of the household registration felt desperate for a while when they saw those houses.

Zhao Qingrui went to have a look, adding such a huge workload to them made her conscience a little uneasy.

"Have someone bring back some melons, fruits and bacon from the Zhuangzi, and reward those who have worked hard." Zhao Qingrui said to Lu Zhi beside him.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll go now." Lu Zhi said respectfully, remembering the house that Zhao Qingrui gave her, she had already visited it, it was big and had a good view, she liked it very much.

His Highness really cares about these subordinates, which is why she is willing to be loyal.

Being by Zhao Qingrui's side made her find her own value.

Back at Zhangtai Palace, Zhang Liang came with Zhao Qingrui, he brought with him, and the official promotion record that was finally decided.

Seeing the content above, Zhao Qingrui looked up at Zhang Liang.

"You want to be released as an official? Why?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Zhang Liang suspiciously.

"Returning to Your Highness, when I went out this time, I have seen a lot of life in the head of Guizhou is not good. I want to do something within my ability." Zhang Liang lowered his head.

He has also learned about the life of the head of the Great Qin Dynasty. He knows how difficult their life was during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, but it is much better now.

Even so, he still felt sad looking at it.

This trip was sent by Zhao Qingrui as an imperial envoy, which gave him a lot of insights. He knew that he was capable, so he wanted to do something for Qianshou.

"Your Highness, please approve." Zhang Liang said respectfully.

"Well, I see, it's not bad for you to have such an idea." Zhao Qingrui took a deep look at Zhang Liang, and stamped the big seal in his hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your success." Zhang Liang heaved a sigh of relief.

"The position of Zhan Shifu is reserved for you. As an official in other places, I hope you are an official who can make Qianshou live a better life." Zhao Qingrui said lightly, putting the brochure in his hand aside.

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

"Where are your wife and children? I remember that your wife has been here for several months now, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate to travel with you." Zhao Qingrui picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"They stay in Xianyang, no doubt they still have to study in Xianyang, and they will suffer when they go out with the minister." Zhang Liang sighed softly, why didn't he want to take his wife and children with him directly.

However, apart from his wife's pregnancy, he had to consider other things. He knew that Zhao Qingrui might not really trust him, and his wife and child had to stay in Xianyang.

"Well, I will re-plan Xianyang City next year, and I will build a special school in the city. Zhang Buyi is very smart in reading, and he has better teachers in Xianyang." Zhao Qingrui is very satisfied with Zhang Liang's knowledge.

"What Your Highness said is true." Zhang Liang said seriously. He stepped into the officialdom and couldn't take care of his children so carefully. Xianyang's teachers are the best in the whole of Daqin. There is no doubt that Xianyang can get a better education.

"Your wife is about to give birth to two more children. You are leaving. Have you made arrangements for them?"

"It's already been arranged. They don't have to worry about life." A smile flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes. Zhao Qingrui was generous to his subordinates. He had saved a lot of money and various treasures there. No need to go hungry.

"Since this is the case, you should work hard in the counties and counties and make some achievements." Zhang Liang said that his ability was not good, and Zhao Qingrui was willing to let him try.

After Zhang Liang left, Zhao Qingrui went to find his father after he finished reviewing the memorial.

He is currently reading in Wangyi Palace, "Are you done?"

"Well, I'm done, I want to ask my father about something." Zhao Qingrui walked over with a smile.

"Oh? Let's talk about it. It's not a trivial matter that can stump my good daughter." Ying Zheng put down the book.

"It's really not a trivial matter, it's about Gan Luo." Zhao Qingrui laughed.
