Now, thanks to her intervention, the people of Qian have been allocated land, grain production has greatly increased, and cultivated crops have been improved. The lives of the people of Qian are much better than before.
"Most of the common people don't have surnames, which is inconvenient to read. The nobles have both surnames and clan names, which is also troublesome to call. We must unify them." Zhao Qingrui made a secret decision in his heart.
The Qin Dynasty today is different from the later generations. Liu Bang came from the lower class and had only a surname but no clan name. After establishing the Han Dynasty, he still had no clan name. Naturally, those ministers did not dare to show off in front of him. The issue of surnames was also unified in the Han Dynasty.
"Please organize these things. I will come over to take a look tomorrow." After handing these things to Wei Xi, Zhao Qingrui sent someone to find his father.
"You little girl, can't you let your father have a rest?" As soon as Ying Zheng came over, he rolled his eyes at Zhao Qingrui. He was having fun playing with the little fairies in the harem, and this girl really spoiled his fun.
"Haven't you had enough rest? Tell me yourself, how much serious work have you done this year? Apart from the military affairs, I did it all." Zhao Qingrui was speechless. Was his father living too comfortably?
"Ahem, dear daughter, you've been through a lot." Ying Zheng felt guilty and didn't meet Zhao Qingrui's gaze. "Is there something important that you asked me to do?"
"Yes, father, our family's surname is Ying and Zhao. Most nobles also have surnames, which is a bit troublesome to call. Many common people don't even have surnames." Zhao Qingrui poured a cup of tea for his father.
"Well, I know about this. Is there any problem?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui in confusion.
"I would like to agree on the surname issue. From now on, the household registration books of the people of Guizhou will only record the surname, not the clan name. The people of Guizhou must also have a surname. We can discuss the surname issue later. What do you think?"
"If we remove the surname, some of the nobles might cause trouble. However, this will also be beneficial for management. I think it's a good idea." Ying Zheng touched his newly grown beard.
His face looked too young before, even younger than Fusu's, so he started growing a beard again.
"It's good that you agree. As for the nobles, we haven't refused them from using their surnames. We just no longer register them in the household register. Even if they want to make a fuss, it won't cause any problems." As long as he has his father's support, those nobles will be nothing to him.
A group of those troublemakers among the nobles had already been killed when the land tax was distributed. If they make trouble again, Zhao Qingrui has plenty of ways to deal with them.
