Chapter 2026 Chinese New Year
In a blink of an eye, ten days have passed and the New Year has arrived. The streets and alleys are decorated with lights and there is a festive atmosphere.
The backyard of the governor's office.
Li Shu was wearing a bright red New Year's dress, with pearls and jade on her head, looking bright and charming. In her arms was a chubby little girl, also wearing a bright red New Year's dress. Her sparse hair was tied into a very small braid with a small red bow. The little girl was very happy, dancing in her arms, and the little golden bells on her wrists and ankles kept ringing.
Next to Li Shu, Hua'er was wearing a pink New Year's dress, and holding a chubby white boy in a bright red New Year's dress in her arms. Although the little chubby boy was not as fat as the fat girl, he was also chubby. He didn't like to move even when being held. He just looked around curiously with his ink-black eyes, and his eyes revealed his honesty and cuteness.
"Happy New Year, my darlings Changle and Changyue."
Zhu Ping'an was also wearing festive New Year's greeting clothes. He came forward and kissed the daughter in Li Shu's arms, and then kissed the son in Hua'er's arms.
Zhu Changyue.
Zhu Changle.
These are the names Zhu Ping'an gave to his two babies before the promulgation of the Ten-Household Household Numbers and Baojia Law.
Zhu Ping'an racked his brains to name the two children. He thought that after studying modern literature for more than ten years and studying the Four Books and Five Classics for so many years in the Ming Dynasty, naming the two children would be a piece of cake. Unexpectedly, when he really named the children, Zhu Ping'an felt that he had thought too simply.
Naming a child is not easy. It must not only sound good, but also take into account the birth date, the five elements, and the beautiful meaning.
Of course, there are also generation names.
This era is more concerned with family tree than modern times. Names must be given according to the generation name in the general genealogy and passed down from generation to generation, otherwise the clan will not recognize them. The old Zhu family naturally also has a generation name in the genealogy. The generation name of Zhu Ping'an's father's generation is "Shou", the generation name of Zhu Ping'an's generation is "Ping", and the generation name of the next generation is "Chang".
Since the birth of his children, Zhu Ping'an had read almost all the Four Books and Five Classics and Chu Ci to pieces. He only thought of names when he had time. He named his children on the day the Ten-Household Baojia System was implemented.
Zhu Changyue.
The reason why it was named "Yue" was because a pair of children were born in Shaoxing. To record their birth, the abbreviation of Shaoxing was "Yue", which was called Yuezhou in ancient times. The ancient Yue State was established with Shaoxing as the center and became one of the states in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Secondly, the word "Yue" means to surpass or cross. The word "Chang Yue" also expresses Zhu Ping'an's expectations for his eldest son. The longer he grows, the better he will become.
Boys always have to take responsibility.
Zhu Changle.
Zhu Ping'an gave his daughter this name. First, it has a beautiful meaning from the heart, which means long-lasting happiness. Zhu Ping'an hopes that his baby daughter will live a happy life, grow up happily, and be happy forever. Second, his baby daughter is a happy person who loves to eat and laugh, and is cheerful every day.
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an named his baby daughter Zhu Changle, hoping that she would live a happy life and be happy every day.
Girls, just live happily all your life.
This is the origin of the names Zhu Ping'an gave to his children.
Changle, the younger sister, was very considerate. When Zhu Ping'an kissed her, she excitedly stretched out her arms and asked Zhu Ping'an to hug her, babbling.
As for the brother Changyue, he looked silly and waved his hand away unhappily after being kissed.
Zhu Ping'an and his party went to pay New Year's greetings to his father-in-law. Li Shu, Changyue and Changle all received New Year's money from his father-in-law.
Zhu Ping'an was full of anticipation, thinking that he could get some New Year's money, but instead his father-in-law nodded and said "we're in the same boat".
When Li Shu saw Zhu Ping'an's unhappy look, she covered her mouth and giggled.
After Zhu Ping'an paid New Year's greetings to his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law, he went to the front yamen to accept New Year's greetings from a group of officials.
"My Lords, the Minister has specifically instructed that you can come to pay New Year's greetings, but you cannot bring any holiday gifts. If you insist, the Minister has said that you should take the gifts and return to where you came from."
The doorman of the governor's office was an old man brought by Li Shu. He resolutely followed Zhu Ping'an's words and refused to accept any gifts.
Throughout the morning, Zhu Ping'an's face was almost frozen from smiling as he welcomed and saw off wave after wave of officials who came to celebrate the New Year.
"How is the implementation of the Ten-Household Number Baojia Law? Since its implementation, how many reports have been received, how many reports have been verified, how many suspected collusion with the Japanese have been dealt with, how many people have been verified, and the first report reward can be issued in full."
Every time an official came, Zhu Ping'an would take the trouble to ask him about the implementation of the ten-household baojia system in his jurisdiction after wishing him a happy new year.
The ten-household-number baojia system has been very effective. It has only been implemented for less than ten days, but there have been hundreds of reports.
More than one hundred people were found to have colluded with the Japanese, and dozens of them were punished according to the ten-household baojia system.
In order to prevent wrongful accusations, Zhu Ping'an ordered two levels of government to review the case. After the two levels of government confirmed the collusion with the Japanese, the people who had collaborated with the Japanese were detained in prison.
As for further processing, Zhu Ping'an was taken back to the governor's office, which was responsible for convicting and punishing him in strict accordance with the "Great Ming Law" and other laws depending on the circumstances.
In general, the ten-household baojia system has achieved remarkable results as soon as it was implemented. I believe that as the baojia system continues to be implemented, the results will become more and more outstanding.
However, problems have been discovered. Currently, those who have been reported are ordinary people, and no gentry or officials have been reported.
This should be the case since it has just been implemented, and the people are still in a wait-and-see mood. I believe that with the implementation of rewards and punishments, the people's wait-and-see mood will be dispelled. Finally, a few examples will be caught to let the people know that no matter who colluded with the Japanese, they will be punished! No matter who conceals the truth, they will be punished, without exception!
In this way, the common people will understand that for the sake of themselves and their families, the ten-household baojia system must be followed.
While the whole family was celebrating the Spring Festival, the Japanese pirates in Takulin's old nest were no exception and were also celebrating the Spring Festival with lights and decorations.
"Happy New Year, young ones. The leaders said that everyone should eat and drink well today and have a good New Year. Tomorrow we will go to pay New Year's greetings to the villagers."
"Hahaha, we dare not go empty-handed. Bring your weapons with you. Swords, guns, sticks, axes, hooks, forks, and muskets. Bring them all to me. While their families are reuniting, let's go and wish our fellow villagers a happy new year."
"Let's bring some gifts with us when we go to pay New Year's greetings. The villagers won't let us go back empty-handed. Let's take back their daughters and daughters-in-law, as well as their chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep. We can also take away all their gold, silver, and other valuables."
"Finally, it's Chinese New Year, and it's about family reunion. Let's send them off to reunite with their ancestors, and then set their house on fire with big fireworks."
A group of pirate leaders conveyed the spirit from above to their subordinates, asking them to eat and drink well, and go out tomorrow to rob something big while the common people are celebrating the New Year at home.
