Since he was selected by the ministers at that time to be His Majesty the Emperor a thousand years ago, the first generation ancestor of the Dai family’s royal family was naturally just assigned a surname that had nothing to do with him.
But Zelena was only curious about the original surname of the Dai family and would not delve into it like a historian.
Because for Zelen, a person’s last name is often just the focus of others’ attention. The name itself is probably the last thing that I need to show off frequently.
The people of the Krorod Empire have names themselves, which are just code names for convenience of recording, or marks for convenience of others to address them. What’s more, if you look further up, the people of the Crurod Empire were once slaves of the human race.
Slaves don’t have any serious names, they just have code names one after another.
Later, when the Krorod Empire was established, the people at that time changed all such code names, seriously renamed themselves, and then created or received various surnames.
Just like Zelen’s ancestor, Dai, this was the surname forced on the ministers.
But now, it really doesn’t make much difference what your last name is. After all, the Krolod Empire had completed the matter of giving every household a surname thousands of years ago. It was completely beyond the reach of those tribes and chiefdoms that had surnames that meant they were nobility.
Moreover, Zelen also admired it. Like the Akijin Empire, the history of all people having surnames was only 170 years ago. They used to do population registration…
Isn’t this really causing trouble for yourself? If there are too many duplicate names, it is easy to make mistakes in household registration. If there is an error in household registration, there will be many things that are very difficult to handle in that country.
Knowing how many citizens a country has is itself the first criterion used to measure its national strength. If you can’t even do household registration well, then don’t think too much about the next thing. Chaos is the inevitable result.
Because the household registration work is not done well and the surname issue is not implemented, civil strife will definitely occur in a country.
Conscription and tax collection are enough to drive the rulers above crazy.
A country’s basic strategy is based on how many citizens it has, how many resources it has on hand, and what it currently lacks.
Therefore, Zelen himself can only say that his gift is something that goes against him. Apart from anything else, as long as he doesn’t have to worry about sleeping without a female companion at night, people outside will probably say all kinds of unpleasant things about him in private.
but……
What else could he say?
The Krorod Empire has always been a monarchy, and when a monarchy already has room for republican ideas to exist, as a monarch he certainly cannot use violence to solve problems like his grandfather.
Must be gentle.
Even if they do this, the Krorod Empire will most likely face republican changes again, and the Dai family royal family may become a burial object of the empire at some point. But if the Dai family really falls to this point, this can only explain one point.
It’s time for the Dai family to perish.
Therefore, if the royal family wants to survive, the army and the people’s hearts are indispensable. Bureaucrats and others can be ignored, but the voices of the military and civilians cannot be ignored.
King Shungo of the Takagi royal family, this is a very warning negative example.
The purpose of this guy’s existence is just to ride on the heads of the people and use various tricks to harm his own people?
In short, Zelen himself did not want to ask too many questions, lest he be labeled as “interfering in internal affairs” by the Takagi Kingdom. Even now, he is actually not afraid at all.
At worst, he flew over in confusion and saw how many guys in Takagi Kingdom could act as heroes.
After all, the black-haired kobolds are basically bullies who are afraid of the strong. In front of the mechanical creations of the Crurod Empire, they may even be treated as dead bodies as a gift.
and……
Junwu: “Drag this loser out and kill him!”
Compared with Zelen, who was not pro-government, but was very aware of the country’s current situation and people’s needs, and understood the next national development plan, King Junwu, who was constantly roaring in the palace, was extremely annoyed.
The Wanxi Liberation Forces won another encirclement and suppression campaign, and worked hand in hand with the “bastard barbarians” in the south to conduct an increasingly obvious arms trade.
Therefore, as soon as he heard the news, Junwu couldn’t help his anger and directly sent a certain guard who reported the news to the shooting range.
Put it this way.
Wanxi’s liberation forces won the battle, killing more than a thousand pig-headed men, and destroying a lot of war machines were not the most deadly.
The problem is the “bastards” of the South.
What kind of deal are you doing with the “bastards” from the south, and selling pig-headed weapons and equipment for money?
Isn’t this a mean behavior of succumbing to the foot of a stinky woman?
Obviously, King Junwu looked down upon women at all, and he could not accept the idea that women were inferior to men in a matrilineal society being introduced into his country.
This is a challenge to the national dignity of the Takagi Kingdom!
However, with the scene of a guard being beaten into parts by a cannon, and the screams being extremely sad, King Junwu deeply realized that his country’s national strength was not enough, and it was impossible to stay with the “bastard” concentration camp for a long time (he said to Ni (one of the disparaging names of the Root Empire) for a head-on confrontation.
In particular, the Negan Empire is one of the two major powers on the Neoland continent, and the Takagi Kingdom is its only land neighbor. For this reason, the Takagi Kingdom deliberately did not waste time and money on building infrastructure facilities in the southern border area, and did not even build standard roads. This was precisely to prevent the “bastards” from the northern expedition.
You must know that these inferior bastards who only recognized their mother and not their father once paraded in Takata City with great arrogance. Therefore, let alone building roads, Junwu has to make the roads in the southern border areas even worse. Otherwise, they will be able to enter Takata City more conveniently for the second time, continue to conduct a second military parade in the square of the palace, and force the Takagi Kingdom to kneel to the Negan Empire for the second time and become a slave state.
Although in terms of actual benefits, except for the unequal treaty restrictions on customs and salt taxes in the Negan Empire’s business, the Takagi Kingdom actually did not suffer any obvious losses.
Even in terms of food, the Takagi Kingdom has learned three cooking methods: boiling, stewing, and stewing.
But……
The Negan Empire is completely incompatible with the Takagi Kingdom in terms of culture.
Not to mention the concept of men and women, the relationship between men and women in the Negan Empire is notoriously chaotic, so much so that their country has a policy of children taking their mother’s surname to avoid the embarrassment of basically not knowing who their father is. Just one language. Don’t think that a country that was a slave before would naturally choose to learn the language of the overlord country and make it the only official legal language.
Sadly, no.
The Kingdom of Takagi originally had its own language and characters. However, as a phonetic symbol, such language and characters have long had the embarrassment of having the same pronunciation and the same word as “arson” which equals “fire prevention”. Therefore, after repeated careful consideration, the Takagi Kingdom did not hesitate to choose another suzerain country – the Akitsu Empire, which had just established a colony in the central and western part of the Neoland continent.
As for why…it’s simple.
The Akijin Empire at that time had experienced a hundred years of civil war, and after reunification it was not as arrogant and rude as it is today. On the contrary, the Akitsu Empire at that time was easier to talk to than the Negan Empire, and there were even no embarrassing political and economic conditions. Therefore, the Takagi Kingdom soon regarded the language of the Akitsu Empire as its only legal language, in exchange for the Akitsu Empire, which was so easy to talk to, to provide more military assistance to fight against the Negan Empire, which was culturally incompatible with itself.
What’s more, the Akitsu Empire has a place like the Takagi Kingdom. Everyone is a country where men are superior to women, and there is still a common language basis.
Even as the exchanges deepened later, it was discovered that the pig-headed people of the Akijin Empire had a Yanliu culture that was not acceptable to everyone, but this did not make King Takagi too disgusted at the time. After all, this matter was only an internal matter within the Akijin Empire at that time and had absolutely nothing to do with the outside world.
The only thing is that there is a “bastard concentration camp” in the south, and there is a group of “freaks” on the other side of the western ocean with demon blood flowing in their bodies (namely, the Rimai people of the Krurod Empire, they are human corpses injected with demons) Bioengineered products after blood) there have always been significant objections…
