Chapter 1109: Marrying Tang Yao
Gu Ji and Tian Hong did not stay in Kaiyuan County for a long time. After only two days of wandering around Kaiyuan County, they boarded a boat to transport livestock to the capital.
This time, they were heading to the capital on the east bank of Honghu Lake to see the palace that the Han tribe had not yet built.
In the past, the construction of the palace was very slow, because there was too much preparatory work to do in advance. They had to dig the artificial lake to get soil, lay the foundation, burn bricks and tiles, prepare wood, and prepare stones. These preparatory work alone would take two or three years.
Now the preparatory work has basically been done. Luo Chong has added a group of workers and a large amount of engineering equipment. The railway line from Takuhai County to the capital is also about to be laid.
Once this railway line is built, the Han tribe can transport a large number of workers and construction materials, and the construction speed of the capital will definitely be faster.
Just when Gu Ji and Tian Hong were still floating on Honghu Lake, a major event happened in Takuhai County.
Xiaodie and Zhan Ying reminded Luo Chong and Tang Yao to get married as soon as possible, and Luo Chong did not plan to delay any longer.
Whether the Tang tribe can be incorporated into the Han tribe depends entirely on his marriage with Tang Yao.
This is an obvious political marriage, but both parties are willing to do so.
Luo Chong can get a wife who knows medicine, a tribe with a population of more than 100,000, and a large territory and resources.
Tang Yao can also marry someone she likes, and can also make the Tang tribe develop more and make her people live better.
Another very important point is the way the Han tribe absorbs other tribes. After joining the Han tribe, the clan tribe is still their own clan. They can still use their own surnames. On the contrary, their lives will be better under the leadership of the Han tribe, and they will basically not suffer any losses.
Although they have to pay taxes to the Han tribe after joining the Han tribe, the improvement in their quality of life brought by the tribe is also visible to the naked eye. If you don't pay taxes to the tribe, what will the tribe use to improve your living standards and build infrastructure for you?
However, in the past two years, because the Han tribe has actually taken over the administrative management of the Tang tribe, and the policies of the Han tribe have been implemented in the Tang tribe for more than a year, from now on, the people of the Tang tribe still like their current life very much.
Compared with the exploitation of their clan leaders before, the strict implementation of the Han tribe’s policies has made the people love them more.
Although the Han tribe also exploited them, at least they collected taxes with clear prices, and by collecting these taxes, the Han tribe also helped them improve their lives.
This is called a willing fight and a willing fight.
It was under such circumstances that Luo Chong went to the Tang tribe to formally propose marriage.
In order to allow the Tang tribe to join the Han tribe legitimately and avoid trouble for his descendants in the future, Luo Chong went directly to the Tang tribe to announce a referendum.
The reason is that he and Tang Yao are going to get married, and Tang Yao will have children after marriage, so she will not have so much energy to manage the tribe, and Luo Chong, the leader of the Han tribe, will take over.
However, at present, the Tang tribe has actually implemented the policies of the Han tribe. In view of this, Luo Chong and Tang Yao formally launched a referendum in the Tang tribe.
The Han tribe used a railway that runs through the entire territory of the Tang tribe, as well as the price of three years of tax exemption and the price of building a primary school in each county of the Tang tribe as a betrothal gift to marry Tang Yao.
At the same time, all the people of the Tang tribe were asked to vote on whether to join the Han tribe.
After joining the Han tribe, there is no need to change the surname, no forced migration, and enjoy the same treatment as the people of the Han tribe.
According to this condition, as long as more than 60% of the people agree to join, then from now on, the Tang tribe will be completely incorporated into the Han tribe and become a part of the Han tribe. A monument will be erected and inscribed, recorded in the history books, and remembered forever by future generations.
The news was quickly passed on through the administrative system established by the Han tribe in the Tang tribe. Because of the effective administrative structure of the Han tribe, the news was passed down step by step, and it was passed very quickly. In less than two days, the people of the Tang tribe all knew the news.
Most of the people were very happy when they heard the news. They looked at the lives of the people in Takumi County on the other side of the river every day, and they had long been envious and wanted to fly over. Now they don’t have to go over, and they can become a part of the Han tribe on their side. How can they not be happy?
Almost without any hesitation, most of the people chose to agree to join the Han tribe. Only a few clan leaders, that is, those small nobles, disagreed, because the Han tribe would definitely deprive them of some of the power and interests that originally belonged to them.
However, in the face of the general trend, they were still powerless to stop it.
Originally, Luo Chong and Tang Yao required that as long as 60% of the people agreed, the decision would be passed. Now that 85% of the people have chosen to join the Han tribe, what else can be said.
Even if we don’t talk about the Tiger Guard soldiers stationed in various parts of the Tang tribe, the small clan leaders cannot go against the wishes of the people of the Tang tribe alone, after all, there are too many people.
Even if the clan leaders and their families took up arms, they would have no chance to wrestle with the Han tribe, because the people of the entire Tang tribe acted as the eyes of the Han tribe and provided intelligence to the Han tribe, and with the execution strength of the Tiger Guard soldiers stationed in various places, these people would not even have the possibility of gathering together, and would be divided and destroyed by the Han tribe.
The people of the Tang tribe are now anxious. They are about to join the Han tribe and become a member of the Han tribe, and live a good life like the people of the Han tribe. Anyone who dares to stop them at this time will be their enemy. Although they will not personally deal with those clan leaders, they are still very willing to provide information to the army of the Han tribe.
When the referendum results were announced, and the Tang tribe officially became part of the Han tribe from now on, some of the small nobles and clan leaders of small clans really wanted to rebel.
These people are very timid and know that they are definitely not the opponent of the Han tribe, so they just want to rob a wave of supplies and then fly away, hiding far away from the Han tribe.
With the various techniques they have learned from the Han tribe in the past two years, as long as they can find another tribe, they can also successfully mix in, and then rely on the techniques in their hands to become the top of the new tribe, and then gradually master that tribe, occupy the magpie's nest, and then slowly plan for the future.
It's just that they thought too well.
Three years of tax exemption, a large amount of industrial infrastructure construction, and a railway running through the entire Tang tribe. Under such huge temptations, the people have gone crazy. Anyone who wants to go against them will definitely be seeking death.
The common people who found something wrong quickly passed the news to the local administrative offices, and the local officials quickly passed the news to the garrison.
As a result, these clan leaders and small nobles were caught by the soldiers of the Tiger Guards before they had time to rob and run away.
In the end, the main figures were publicly executed.
One was to deter the nobles who had not had time to run away, and the other was to support the majority of the people.
Now that they have become the people of the Han tribe, they no longer have to be afraid of those clan leaders.
After the bloody coup, five or six small nobles of the Tang tribe were eliminated by the Han tribe, and the Tang tribe successfully became a part of the Han tribe.
Tang Yao was taken to his new home in Tuohai County by Luo Chong, and Luo Chong was finally able to mobilize and utilize the various resources of the Tang tribe.
Tang Yao had lived in Luo Chong's home in Hanyang City for more than a year before, and had long been familiar with Xiaodie and Zhan Ying. Now that she has joined Luo Chong's big family, she has integrated very quickly.
The family did not have those bloody palace fighting plots.
In fact, it was mainly caused by the background of this era. The leaders of the tribe generally have several spouses, and Luo Chong, as the largest leader of the Han tribe, actually has a small number of spouses.
This is also the reason why Xiaodie and Zhan Ying actively helped Luo Chong get married.
Another problem is the living habits of Luo Chong's family.
He personally hates the lifestyle of three palaces and six courtyards the most. One woman in one courtyard, not seeing each other every day, and going to grab a man, it would be strange if they don't fight.
But Luo Chong's family is different. The three women eat, live and have fun together every day, so they want to be a happy family.
If each person has a yard and doesn't eat from the same pot every day, what kind of family is that? !
To put it simply, Luo Chong's home has a more homely feel, which is not the case in the imperial palaces in history.
Finally, the issue of succession to the position of leader is the most likely to cause disputes among women. Although they haven't thought about this yet, Luo Chong has already made a plan in his mind, that is, the eldest son inheritance system. The eldest
son inheritance system must be resolutely implemented.
If there is a legitimate son, the legitimate son shall be established, and if there is no legitimate son, the eldest son shall be established.
Only by determining it early can disputes be avoided.
Some people worry about what if the eldest son is too useless?
You can't blame the child for being useless, you can only say that you didn't educate him well.
The royal family has the most and best resources in the world. If a useless person can be educated like this, it is normal for such a royal family to be overthrown by other traitors.
As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Luo Chong strives to make the rules and systems for them as perfect as possible. The road is paved, and the next road depends on the descendants themselves. Whether they walk well or not is not up to Luo Chong, and he can't worry about it.
In addition, regarding the issue of succession to the throne, Luo Chong has also thought about how to inherit it.
It is impossible to sit on the throne until death. Being an emperor is the most tiring job in the world. Luo Chong also wants to wait until he is old to enjoy a good life. He does not want to work hard until death.
Therefore, for the succession to the throne, he plans to adopt a system similar to modern promotion and training, as well as the retirement system for the elderly.
For example, Luo Chong's eldest son, Luo Cheng, needs to go to school like ordinary children, and then go to elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university. While he is young, he should learn as much knowledge as possible to expand his knowledge and insights.
When he graduates from university, Luo Chong will send him to the grassroots level to hone his skills. He must learn and experience in administrative departments and military departments, and then be promoted to one level at three or four levels, just like ordinary officials in the Han tribe.
In this way, when Luo Cheng was promoted all the way to the central court, he had accumulated a lot of grassroots work experience and had a clear understanding of the overall structure and administrative operation mode of the Han tribe. At this time, if he stayed in the center to work for a few years and understand the operation mode of the center, Luo Cheng would probably be in his forties, which was the time when a person was most mature and stable, and he would also have the most experience and knowledge.
By that time, Luo Chong would be about fifty or sixty years old, and then he could retire gloriously, and then directly let Luo Cheng succeed him. At that time, Luo Chong's grandson would probably have just graduated from college and entered the grassroots of the Han tribe to hone his skills.
This is the life experience that Luo Chong arranged for his descendants. Everyone who wants to be the emperor of the Han tribe in the future must follow this process.
If a waste can be cultivated in this way, it can only be said that the Han Dynasty is unfortunate and there is nothing to do about it. It is probably God's will.
Anyway, Luo Chong has really thought of everything he can think of.
The second month after Tang Yao moved into Luo Chong's house, she became pregnant with Luo Chong's child.
Luo Chong was very happy, but he has been getting busier and busier recently.
After the Tang tribe was completely merged into the Han tribe, the eight counties of the Tang tribe had a lot of things to adjust.
In the past, the Han tribe was not legitimate and it was not easy to interfere in the affairs of the Tang tribe, but now it is different.
The Tang tribe has eight counties, more than 30 counties, and a population of more than 100,000. In this case, Luo Chong must adjust their resources to make them more in line with the overall strategy of the Han tribe.
There are also things that Luo Chong promised to give to the people of the Tang tribe, such as a railway line that runs through the eight counties of the Tang tribe.
In fact, this thing is called a betrothal gift, but no matter whether Tang Yao marries or not, as long as the Tang tribe is willing to merge into the Han tribe, Luo Chong will definitely build this railway. This is not only for the betrothal gift, but also for the better development of the Han tribe.
In addition, there is the construction progress of the capital. Now Luo Chong has been urging the construction of the railway from Tuohai County to the capital.
Although this section of the railway is relatively long, nearly 400 kilometers, it is actually very easy to repair, because the whole way is plain, and there is no complicated special terrain. Basically, it is paved all the way.
Even the work of laying the foundation and leveling the land is actually very simple now.
First of all, the Endeavor-type train currently used by the Han tribe does not have high requirements for the foundation. In addition, the road construction team is now equipped with several engineering machinery, such as excavators, bulldozers, tractors, and rollers.
With this pile of large machinery in the front to handle the construction of the foundation, a large number of workers only need to place the sleepers on the ground, lay the rails and fix them with nails.
Under such construction conditions, the speed of laying the railway is of course very fast.
When Tang Yao was two months pregnant, the railway from Takumi County to the capital was finally repaired and opened to traffic.
