Chapter four hundred and ninetieth: Daming Wang Jiefu

"Huh? Why don't you call your family? Are you also worried that your master will not let him go? Don't worry, I will do what I say. No matter who he is, if he dares to disobey the prince's order, I will make the decision for you.

!”

Seeing that under his own guarantee, everyone except the "Jie Shi" who almost made him commit a capital crime before left excitedly, Liu Kongdang couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Speaking to the adults, Cao Min, Cao Min's family members are all dead. Now they no longer have any family members!"

Upon hearing Liu Kongdang's question, the "Jingju slave" named "Jie Shi" could not help but answer with a sad look on his face.

"Well, I am being presumptuous! In that case, I will make this yellow book for you first!"

Knowing that this man was a bachelor who had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry, Liu Kongdang immediately sat down again and opened the yellow book again, preparing to register his "hukou".

"By the way, have you thought about your new last name?"

Lifting up his pen, Liu Kongdang looked at the 'Jie Shi' in front of him again.

"Sir, I wonder if ordinary people can take the 'Wang' surname of the champion?"

While he was talking, the "Jingju slave" named "Jie Shi" was still nervous and stretched out his hand to draw three horizontal and one vertical strokes in the air.

"Oh? I wonder why you chose this 'Wang' surname?"

Originally it was just a trivial matter, but when the other party specifically mentioned Wang Bing, the champion, Liu Kongdang couldn't help but become curious.

"The grassroots are the children of slaves, and their parents died in the hands of the original owners because of minor mistakes. When the Japanese pirates attacked, the only girl was sent by the original owner to please the Japanese pirates, and she was humiliated and died by the Japanese pirates. The grassroots originally thought that this was the case.

I can't take revenge in my life. Fortunately, when the champion Hou Banshi returned to the court last year, he ordered an investigation of those who were 'travelling with the Japanese'..."

Upon hearing Liu Kongdang's inquiry, this "Jieshi" immediately revealed his tragic life experience.

It turns out that the reason why this "Jieshi" wanted to be named "Wang" was because the order given by Wang Bing's class teacher before returning to the court to clean up the "Japanese" people allowed him to find an opportunity to take revenge.

"I see. No wonder you want to take the surname Wang after the champion, haha. Speaking of which, you are repaying the favor!"

Liu Kongdang couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he learned that this was the reason why this person wanted to be named Wang.

"Sir, I don't know..."

"Haha, don't worry. We in the Ming Dynasty don't have a bad habit of not allowing people to have surnames or have the same surname as others! However, the word 'Jie Shi' of yours is indeed a bit unpopular. How about changing it to 'Jie Fu'?"

Pulling out a piece of white paper, Liu Kongdang raised his hand and wrote the word "Jiefu" on it.

"Your Excellency is talking about the former Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, Wang Jiefu? I would like to thank you, Your Excellency, for the name!"

When Liu Kongdang saw the second son of "Jie Fu" written down by him, this "Jie Shi" couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he quickly bowed and saluted him.

"Hahahaha, I thought you only knew Chinese characters roughly, but I didn't expect that you actually know Wang Jiefu of the Song Dynasty. It's really rare!"

Although he knew that Sinology was flourishing in this place known as "Little China", Liu Kongdang was really surprised to see a young man who was born as a slave actually know the former prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

"Your Excellency, this is a ridiculous compliment. Common people only heard a few words from their father when they were young. They really don't take it seriously..."

In response to Liu Kongdang's praise, the newly renamed brother "Jiefu" quickly waved his hands humbly.

"Since you are proficient in writing, how about I give you another name, 'Anshi'? It happens to be the same as your original name, so it can be regarded as a reminder."

I don’t know what Liu Kong was thinking, but he actually changed the name and character of Wang An Shitou to this brother. When this brother Jiefu waved his hands modestly, Liu Kong

Of course, he was given the nickname "Anshi" again.

But this time, before the newly minted ‘Jiefu’ brother could say his thanks, a familiar joking voice suddenly came over.

"Master Liu, when you gave this name, weren't you afraid that Prime Minister Wang would come to trouble you at night? Hahahaha"

Needless to say, who else is the owner of this voice besides Wang Bing?

"Well, since the Prime Minister is capable of punting a boat, Privy Wang must not come to see me, haha... Well, I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Not long after he laughed "arrogantly", he found that the Crown Prince Zhu Changluo was also coming over. Liu Kongdang quickly got up and joined the others to meet the Crown Prince Zhu Changluo.

"Your Majesty... Your Highness?"

Seeing the actions of Liu Kongdang and other officials, Brother Jiefu, who had just been reborn, subconsciously knelt down and buried his head deeply on the ground.

Just kidding, not to mention His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, even Li Huan, the former king who was only equivalent to the king of the Ming Dynasty, did not even dare to raise his head and peek as a slave.



"Haha, Master Liu is a good name! In the past, Wang Jiefu of the Song Dynasty was the prime minister of a country. I just wonder if the 'Wang Jiefu' of our dynasty today will also have the potential to be a prime minister in the future?"

Looking at the man in front of him who had just changed his name to 'Wang Jiefu', Zhu Changluo couldn't help but look at Liu Kongdang, the prefect who was good at naming people, with a mocking expression.

"Returning to His Royal Highness, I only named him based on the homophony of his original name. However, although this son was born a slave, he can be regarded as somewhat knowledgeable..."

"Haha, Wang Jiefu, since you are proficient in Chinese characters, would you like to be a clerk in the Yamen?"

Ignoring Liu Kongdang's explanation, Zhu Changluo looked at the trembling Wang Jiefu beside him.

"Caomin... Caomin thanks the prince for his kindness!"

Upon hearing the inquiry from His Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Changluo, Wang Jiefu, who had just stood up, knelt down again with a plop. However, this time it was no longer out of fear, but out of excitement.

There is no way, in one day, from a "big animal" that is not even a "person" to a government official, who would not be excited if he replaced him?

"Okay, get up first and record your own imperial register and household stickers, and then help you adults continue to record the imperial register and household stickers for them!"

Pointing to the reporting 'army' that appeared again in the distance, Zhu Changluo waved his hand to Wang Jiefu to get up and record his own imperial roll.



"Haha, Wang Jiefu, from now on, you are no longer a humble slave, but a registered citizen of Ming Dynasty!"

Soon, after seeing Wang Jiefu receiving a household sticker, the prince Zhu Changluo couldn't help but congratulate him.

"On behalf of all the servants and slaves, I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for his great kindness! The Crown Prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

Holding the thin paper sticker that represented that he was a 'person' from now on, Wang Jiefu knelt down again with a pious look on his face and gave Zhu Changluo a bowing salute.

Later, with the example of Wang Jiefu, the subsequent registration in the Yellow Book was very smooth. A group of "big animals" who originally had no surnames at all, regardless of men and women, all had their own names. After getting that card, they became "human beings" from now on.

's household stickers.

It is worth mentioning that, also because of Wang Jiefu's example, the vast majority of these people chose "Wang" and "Zhu" as their surnames. So that in the four prefectures of the entire peninsula, Wang,

The second surname Zhu actually accounts for more than 60% of the total population, making it the most popular surname on the peninsula!

"Haha, you have collected all the household stickers in your hands. In the future, the government will allocate fields to you based on the population of this household sticker!"
