[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

Every dynasty experienced large-scale population migration, but if the "fleeing" migration due to wars and natural disasters is excluded, then in all dynasties, the record of the migration of civilians as the main body must have been set by Emperor Hongwu.

Since the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Emperor Hongwu moved more than 4000 households from Shanxi to the surrounding areas where the people's livelihood has declined and the population has shrunk due to the war.

Later, in order to stimulate Fengyang's economic and social production, he moved a large number of wealthy households and craftsmen from the south of the Yangtze River to Fengyang. The entire activity of revitalizing the hometown moved 14 households.

Now, Emperor Hongwu is about to act again.

This time, the number of residents he plans to relocate is unprecedented in terms of the number, distance, and arduousness of the action.

Emperor Hongwu named the people who were to be relocated this time, all of whom were from Yingtianfu. According to the relocation rules, the families of the selected ones had to follow the rules of "keeping one of the four families, two of the six families, and two of the eight families". According to the "three" rule, this time the Ministry of Household Affairs roughly calculated that more than [-] people would be affected.

In addition to these people who are forced to migrate, there are generally people who voluntarily ask to leave, plus the escorted population and the people who see them off. At that time, these people will be no less than a large army that has been marching slowly.

Rather, these people are more troublesome than the army, because their obedience is much lower than that of the army. All the care along the way depends on the local government and the escort of the crowd.

"It's so troublesome, why do we need to relocate?" Zhu Yunqi, who has never experienced the hardships of traveling and traveling, but is very imaginative, is very puzzled, and "if it is just a lack of labor, it is necessary to transfer to nearby provinces, such as Sichuan, Guizhou, Aren’t people from places like Guangdong better?”

In the Wenhua Palace, the prince's three sons gathered around a map to discuss the population migration.Although Zhu Yunqi's question was naive, it was indeed a good question. Mu Bai didn't answer, but looked at his younger brother. After thinking for a while, Mu Wen shook his head, expressing that he couldn't figure it out either.

Seeing this, Mu Bai smiled and said: "Because this transfer is not just to enrich the labor force in Yunnan, but also to drive the local people with Han people."

"Yunnan and Daming are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and there are many tribes. Although there are tribes that have contacts with Daming, their understanding is very limited, and their culture, economy, planting, and even life are relatively simple. , give them templates to learn and copy, and the professors in the government office alone cannot effectively improve them in a short period of time."

"Sichuan and Guizhou have only been naturalized for ten years, and their economy and culture are much better than those of Yunnan, but the people's hearts have not yet completely subsided. As for Guangdong..." Mu Bai paused, showing a horrible expression: "There They surrendered early, and they are quite advanced in all aspects, but their official language is really not standard."

People in Yunnan already speak with an accent. If you try to learn their mandarin, which has great appeal and influence, the result may be that no one can understand what they are saying.

"Then it shouldn't be necessary to mobilize people from Yingtian Mansion?" Zhu Yunqi was still a little confused: "People from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu and Shanghai can go there as well."

"Yes, so why must it be from Yingtian Mansion?" The carrot heads who were listening tilted their heads together.

It's no wonder that they are confused by this point, mobilizing people from Yingtianfu to support Yunnan. Now it is as strange as letting a group of Beijing hukou give up their hukou and go to Zhibian.

It's not that the household registration of Yingtian Mansion is superior to others, but the people living in Yingtian Mansion today are either family members and friends of officials and ministers, or a group of people who first defected to Daming. Except for some Yingtian Mansion drifters, most of them have reasons for not wanting to leave.

The advantages of living in a capital city were far greater in this era than in modern times.

Aside from that, the major cities of Ming Dynasty, even Suzhou and Hangzhou, which are the most prosperous in the world, don't see red-haired foreigners like Yingtianfu people, do they bother to look at them?

There is no place where people can talk peacefully with court officials like the people of Yingtianfu, right?Even if you don't talk about the fashion here, no one can really buy the salted duck eggs made by the princes of Ming Dynasty like the people of Ying Tianfu, right? (error)

Living in the capital, not to mention the sense of honor and property, the sense of security and convenience, as well as the difficulty of making money are not comparable to other places.

Don't say that they were asked to move to Yunnan, which is not a bird's shit, even if they were asked to move to Jiangsu and Zhejiang nearby, they would not be willing!

"There are too many people who think like them, so the population of Yingtian Mansion has swelled to an unbearable level." Mu Bai put a small ball of paper on several places on the map, and told his lovely brother and Uncles: "Do you know where this is?"

Of course the children who didn't leave the gate didn't know, Mu Bai announced the answer: "These are the places where Yingtian Mansion's feces are concentrated and dumped."

The expressions of the little princes suddenly became colorful and very ugly. Mu Bai smiled and waved his hand when he saw this, "I checked the books, Ying Tian Mansion didn't have these places in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China."

Manure is a very important thing. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties were established, the people and the court began to think about how to fertilize the fields.

They quickly discovered the goodness of poop.

The children are quite accepting of this. Ever since they raised a group of manure machines like ducks and geese... the children in the Daming Palace have successfully lowered their lower limit.

Now they can even squat down and study the color of the poop of their beloved pets under the leadership of Mu Wen to determine whether they are healthy or not, but this by no means means that they can accept what they eat and have been irrigated with poop !

Mu Bai turned a blind eye to the children's sudden change of expression, and said calmly: "The farmers in the past thought that people in the city had better food and drink, and their excrement was more nutritious, so they often came back to the city to collect the excrement and use it for farming."

"But now there are too many people in Yingtianfu." He rolled his eyelids and looked at the old father who was drinking tea in silence: "The population of Yingtianfu is four times that of when the country was founded, and the floating population is even bigger. There are countless people who collect night incense, and the people who collect night incense are simply too busy, and there are so many "goods" that the price can't be sold, so more people tend to solve it by themselves."

It's so convenient to solve it by yourself, especially Yingtianfu has many lakes and rivers, and when the backyard door is opened...cough.

However, the cleaning and digestion capacity of the river water is also limited. Around the tenth year of Hongwu, Ying Tianfu's "enjoyment" was the result of freedom after the fire.

Therefore, Emperor Hongwu strictly regulated the sanitation of the city, and set up a special department to manage the dredging of streets, rivers, and sewers. The streets of Yingtianfu were restored to cleanliness, and the water of the Qinhuai River was rippling again.

But now another six years have passed, the urban population has increased further, and the number of excrement piles has increased from the original two to six. If this situation continues, the situation in Yingtianfu is still not optimistic.

As the capital of a country, the city is already overloaded, so in order to reduce the pressure on the city and avoid a possible worse situation, immigration is imminent.

It just so happened that Mu Ying, who was still stationed in Yunnan at this time, wrote a letter, asking Zhu Yuanzhang to transfer the population to fill Yunnan, and Emperor Hongwu did it right away.

On the one hand, the population of Yingtianfu is relatively affluent, and most of them have rich experience. On the other hand, most of them have received a certain degree of education and have a relatively high level of education. It is very good for them to make samples for the people of Yunnan.

As for whether these transferred people are willing to leave, of course they are not!

In order not to let this relocation cause public anger, Emperor Hongwu offered these people very good conditions. As long as they are willing to go to Yunnan, no matter what their original household registration is, they will all be changed to civilian registration, tax exemption for three years, and iron. High-quality farm tools, one donkey per household, one cow per village, and if you are willing to take your children on the road, the government will pay for the repairs of the children in the future.

Generally speaking, the treatment of this population migration is quite good for those who do not have their own property in Yingtian Mansion, especially the concubine sons of some big families, or the second sons who do not have a sense of presence on weekdays. It is an opportunity to leave the family in an aboveboard manner.

Especially after Emperor Hongwu made it clear that all migrants could be independent from the clan at home, the number of responders suddenly increased a lot.

"Why is that?" Zhu Yunqi, who couldn't understand the changes in the situation, became a little irritable, "Why did they leave the clan?"

In this era, any family with a clan is basically a big family with a big business and a flourishing branch, especially this place is still in the capital of Ming Dynasty.

And as the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister does not leave the clan. Even if the career may not go well, at least he will not be bullied, and he can rely on family resources for some things , generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Moreover, compared to the behavior of these people who obviously wanted to leave the family, the most incomprehensible thing for Zhu Yunqi, who was familiar with the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, was—why did his grandfather make this rule?

"The clan is like a tree trunk, and the clan members are like branches. This action is to saw off the branches from the tree trunk, which is painful. This action really hurts the sky and... ah, it hurts."

Mu Bai stretched out his hand and rubbed his younger brother's head vigorously, making him groan, and then let go of the grown-up child, "Yun Wen, you haven't planted a tree before, have you?"

This indeed involved Zhu Yunqi's blind spot, and the child showed a somewhat bewildered expression.

As a theoretical giant, Mu Bai immediately puffed up his small chest: "If the planting of saplings starts from seeds, it will be extremely long, so if it is necessary to cultivate saplings, craftsmen usually split the branches from the trunk and process them. Then insert it into the soil, wait patiently for it to grow roots, and then move it to another place.”

"Of course, during this process, there are often branches that are cut off from the energy supply of the trunk and cannot survive, so they can only wither, but generally speaking, as long as the operation is correct, most of the branches can survive." Mu Bai's eyes were precise Captured the old father who was listening attentively, Mu Bai, who was obviously the elder brother but had to take on the responsibility of the old father teaching the children, bared his teeth in protest in his direction, and said: "So, if the branch is not cut off and let the It's trying to be independent, you never know if it's just a diligent branch or just another sapling."

"And, do you really think that the existence of the clan is all good?"

This question obviously stopped Zhu Yunqi from asking, he opened his mouth, and uttered a questioning single sound in a silly way: "Ah?"

"The existence of the clan has replaced some of the responsibilities of the government." Mu Bai explained to him in as simple a language as possible: "The lowest government government in Ming Dynasty today is the county, and the governance below the county can only be managed by the people themselves, so there are villages. The elders, the clan, and the clan help each other and take care of the orphaned young son, which is its positive influence. However, in many areas, the clan law and lynching are often higher than the court law."

"The existence of the clan will even affect the management of the court officials." Mu Bai looked at the two younger brothers who seemed to have some comprehension and said, "We recognize the existence of the clan, but it cannot exceed the laws of the Ming Dynasty, let alone go beyond the court decrees. Most importantly, the people must be given a choice - whether to remain within the patriarchal clan or to exist independently of it."

In order to take care of the young hearts of the two younger brothers, Mu Bai did not explain what he said, but to put it bluntly, this is the two-handed arrangement made by the court to let the horse run, but afraid that it would get out of control.

This is mainly due to the unexpected troubles encountered in the appointment of officials. In the past, most of the appointments of officials in the Ming Dynasty were to select famous people from the people and appoint them as officials. It is familiar, and the work is naturally carried out quite smoothly.

However, when Emperor Hongwu started dispatching Beijing officials last year, he encountered resistance. Many officials encountered resistance from the local clans when they carried out their work in the local area. This made Emperor Hongwu very unhappy.

For Emperor Hongwu, the country's management ability was not enough before, and clan and local help were needed. Now that the country's talent pool has become rich, a good civil organization should appear when he needs it, and be obedient when he doesn't need it. Surrender your authority and step back incognito.

Now, when he sees the existence of this kind of ignorance, of course he will not let it go, but it is indeed not easy to interfere. The existence of clans is not illegal, and not all clans have those problems. Naturally, there is no one size fits all in this respect.

This relocation activity was a test of water. Emperor Hongwu also wanted to know how the people felt about the clan and patriarchal clan, whether they were willing to accept its leadership and constraints, or whether they were willing to try to come out.

To some extent, the reaction of the public is the recognition of his behavior, which is also a successful experiment.

Young people are still very willing to break away from the control of the clan. Knowing this, Emperor Hongwu probably knows what to do in the future!

Compared with Daming, which has just re-established the dignity of the clan for only 16 years after going through the flames of war, among the Yunnan tribes with long links, this kind of link originating from blood is stronger.

and so……

"Move the ethnic groups from southern Yunnan to Shandong." With a swipe of his pen, Emperor Hongwu swapped the two groups of people. Shandong is the hometown of etiquette, and it is also a city near the sea. It can be said that it is heaven and earth, except that it is a little far away on land, but there are no shortcomings.

Unprecedented migration and fusion of ethnic groups started at the thought of Emperor Hongwu. Since then, the clothing of the Luoluo ethnic group in Yunnan has added the weaving techniques of the Han ethnic group, and the costumes of the Han ethnic group have also included the unique clothing of the Yunnan ethnic group. Bright patterns.

The descendants of Yunnan often hear that they are actually from Yingtianfu when they listen to their predecessors talking about the ancient times, and the descendants of many villages in Shandong will find that their family seems to have many special festivals compared with the surrounding villages.

Until a long time later, when the Internet and mobile phones make information more convenient, they may see this past event, and then suddenly realize that their predecessors once had such a past.

But that was a long time later.

For the current Ming government, just after solving the immigration problem, they have faced a new problem - the number of countries paying tribute this year has hit a record high, and what is even more troublesome is that these people have brought huge caravans. Not many people came, but the meeting hall was full.

But these people are not as conspicuous as the other group.

A group of embarrassing envoys wearing fur coats and beards arrived at Yingtian Mansion with their official documents. Perhaps it was because of the long journey, or because they had experienced a lot of hardships. Compared with beggars on the street, these people Even more embarrassing.

By the way, the beggars in Yingtianfu didn't know what medicine they took wrongly, and they started to clean up their personal hygiene. Not to mention changing their clothes and shaving their beards, they looked cleaner than ordinary farmers, which did not conform to the inherent image of beggars.

Through the translation of the officers and soldiers who were brought in urgently, everyone learned that these people were envoys from the Principality of Moscow in the extreme north.

There is a Northern Yuan regime between the Principality of Moscow and Daming. As a nation that was beaten by Beiyuan and could only retreat again and again, these bearded beards almost shed tears after seeing Daming's majestic royal city and sharp armor.

They lifted up the beast skins, antlers and other things that they had brought with them through so much hard work. These things were obviously not light, and the muscles of the strong men pumped.

After the sound of "plop", the bearded people shed lasagna tears. They were originally from the extreme north, and their life was not easy. Now the Beiyuan cavalry was bullied by Daming and had no choice but to run north Even though the Northern Yuan cavalry only dared to play guerrilla in front of the Ming army, they could still show off their fists when they met other neighbors.

The envoy of the Principality of Moscow who was robbed repeatedly said sadly: We are willing to become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, boss!Please support me, please uphold justice!They are willing to offer the best tribute to Daming.

One of the best tributes—a little black and white pup was held up high and tilted its head. The fire pattern on its forehead set off a pair of blue eyes that were particularly clever. It looked like a noble, extraordinary and intelligent dog. Clever dog.
