Chapter 212 Naturalization of the Hukou System
The method taught to Huang Zhiting by Gao Shishi is called the "naturalized household registration system".
The main point of this method is to "plan" some of the relatively hard-working and hard-working Annan people as their own people.
The main implementation method is "differential treatment".
First of all, if the ancestors are Han Chinese, servants and other ethnic groups in the Ming Dynasty, or those who have ancestral ancestry of these ethnic groups, they can apply for ethnic change in the local government - the determination conditions are very, very simple: for example, if you can speak Chinese, you can apply to change the nationality to naturalized Han Chinese; If you can speak a slave language, you can apply to change your nationality to a naturalized servant.
For naturalized people, the word "naturalization" can be removed after three generations.
The Haidong Town Guard Mansion and its subordinate local yamen will only send people to simply chat with the applicant in Chinese or Mandarin, and as long as the communication is basically unhindered, they will be approved directly, and try not to set too high a threshold.
Secondly, the Annamite people can turn themselves into "naturalized people" by being Han and servants, and after three generations of naturalized people, they will automatically transfer to the ethnic group to which the head of the family belongs, regardless of Han servants.
Thirdly, the Annamite people can change their national identity through marriage. This article is divided into two categories for men and women.
One is that as long as an Annam woman marries a Han or a servant, whether it is a wife or a concubine, she will automatically become a "naturalized person"; And when she gave birth to a child, whether male or female, as long as she survived and reached the age of fifteen, she automatically became a Han or a servant with her husband. However, if she divorces or is divorced or remarried, all of the above will be cleared.
The other category is aimed at Annan men, which is much more difficult than the naturalization of women. Those who have already married a wife must first divorce their wives and expel their concubines, and then marry Han or servant women as their main wives, and shall not take concubines thereafter; If you have children, you must go to the local government to declare and draw a pledge, and transfer all your inheritance rights to the sons and daughters born after the main wife, and the previous concubines and daughters are not allowed to inherit the estate. Only those who meet the above two conditions can be changed to "naturalized person".
However, his sons-in-law and daughters-in-law will be directly regarded as Han or servants, and do not have to go through the item of "naturalized person".
If there is an Annan man who wants to change to a naturalized person, but cannot accept the condition that he is not allowed to take concubines, then there is another accommodating way to let go of concubines: donations.
It is very expensive to donate: 1,000 taels of silver can be donated to have a place for a concubine as a naturalized person.
Moreover, if more concubines are to be accepted, the price of the second place is two thousand taels, the third is four thousand taels, and the fourth is eight thousand taels.
This is the peak, and the maximum is limited to four concubines.
Gao Pragmatic was still a little hesitant about this, but thinking about it, he had to give Annan's rich people a chance to sharpen their heads and become naturalized people, and at the same time give them a chance to compare, so he made this moth.
The most feared thing about ruling this kind of thing is that the people below have no room to rise. If the rich people of Annan never find a way to improve their status, then in the end there will be only rebellion.
So, give you room to improve, and the method is simple and crude: just give money.
Oh, and there is an additional condition: concubines cannot accept Han women or servant women, and the children born of concubines have no inheritance rights.
Gao has a resolute attitude on this point: There are still so many people in the Ming Dynasty who beat singles, but it is not your turn to accept concubines from Annan to the heads of Han people and servants. Let you marry a Han and a servant, that is for the sake of your children in the future, you can bring your inheritance to the Ming Dynasty - after all, ordinary Annan people want to marry Han people and servants as wives, and it is impossible without any inheritance.
But there is one of the most important questions here, that is, why did the Annamite people sharpen their heads and have to become Han Chinese, servants, and naturalized people?
Obviously, it has to be profitable.
The benefits lie in two points: status and wealth.
Han Chinese and servants will have many advantages in terms of social status...... Well, I can't say enough about this for a while, but if you roughly refer to the social status of the British in India during the colonial era, it's basically about the same.
Beyond that, it's a matter of wealth. This question can be summed up in one sentence: the tax rate that the Han people and the servants need to bear is the lowest, followed by the naturalized people, and the Annam natives are the highest.
How big is the gap? Presumably, if the Han people need to pay one tael of silver, then the naturalized people have to pay two taels, and the native people of Annam ...... I'm sorry, it's not three taels, you have to pay four taels.
That's not a joke, four times!
Gao Pragmatic thought about it himself, if the personal income tax he had to pay in his previous life was inexplicably multiplied by four, he would definitely not laugh, but he couldn't find a way to get rid of this broken identity? If the identity of Han and servant is not good, at least you have to mix with a naturalized person!
A double tax isn't what they want, but it's still much better than a quadruple tax, isn't it?
In addition to these, there are some other details, and Gao Pragmatic also told Huang Zhiting in detail.
After listening to this, Huang Zhiting was stunned for a while, and then patted her chest with a look of "I'm so scared" and said, "Oh my God, how did you come up with these desperate plans?" I think that if you continue to do this, in a few decades at most, there will be no natives in Annam, and all of them will have to become Han and servants! ”
Gao pragmatic laughed: "Isn't that good, they have all become Han servants, what else are they rebelling against?" ”
Well, in fact, the rebellion has little to do with the nation, and that is mainly a question of whether or not you can survive.
But...... Independence has a lot to do with the nation - I have never heard of any place in the "core territory" of the Ming Dynasty, the two capitals and thirteen provinces, that wants to be independent, right?
It's all the same nation, and if you want to say that you can't survive anymore and you have to rebel, it's always understandable, but independence...... Independent fart?
Aren't the Han people of Shandong and the Han people of Shanxi the same family, and the Han people of Hunan and the Han people of Hubei are not the same Han people?
This is just like the fact that later generations of foreigners made strategic games and did the Chinese part, always according to their own thinking, thinking that Han people in different regions would have different ethnic views.
Qin Shi Huang's coffin board couldn't be suppressed.
Therefore, in the future, if Annan implements this set of policies, as long as it persists for a few decades, the native people of Annan will definitely disappear and become Han servants - the servants will definitely speak Chinese when they arrive in Annan, and in fact they are no different from the Han people.
In other words, at that time, Annan will be all Han Chinese, and at that time, even if they have the opportunity to rebel, they will not have a chance to be independent.
After decades of Chinese dialect, doesn't the thinking of great unification have to seep into the bone marrow? That's the power of culture.
Let you first find ways to turn yourself into Han Chinese, and then even if your own generation has not been seriously influenced by Han culture, those children who have considered themselves Han since childhood will also classify themselves as Han Chinese and accept the culture and traditions of Han people. In this way, after two or three generations, the Annan natives who were wiped out of culture naturally became completely Han Chinese.
What's more, everyone is of the yellow race, and Annan was originally a serious radiation of Han culture, and the imperial examinations were all in Chinese, if this is not assimilated fast enough, then unless the Annan people are open.
Huang Zhiting sighed, and suddenly said a little lonely: "Sometimes I think, how good it would be if you were really true." ”
"Oh?" Gao Shishi laughed and quipped, "Why? Do you still want me to join your Huang family? That's not possible, even if I'm not false, I'm still a student. ”
Huang Zhiting shook his head, it didn't look like a joke, and said: "My father got Shannan, and I also got Wai Qinghua when I applied for the job, and I am already worthy of the Huang family." Now that I have a town of Anbang myself, if you are not false, I will ...... What if it is posted upside down to you? Anyway, I'm a woman, even if I have a big inheritance, who can I leave to? ”
