Surnames, our Celestial Dynasty started from the Han Dynasty, and commoners began to have their own surnames, and surnames were no longer exclusive to nobles and people with status.
It's like Chen Sheng, the first person in the uprising, with the character She, a first name, a surname, and characters, but what about Liu Bang? From the beginning, he was called Liu Ji, brother, uncle and uncle, and he was named after his ranking.
So, even though Chen Sheng was born to farm for others, he also has his own surname and characters, and belongs to the descendants of a down-and-out aristocrat. This happened a lot during the Qin Dynasty's unification of the world.
Britain, before the arrival of William the Conqueror, still belonged to the tribal alliance. After William brought the advanced French feudal system and surname culture, the English nobles really had surnames.
During the Renaissance, religions began to audit believers and required believers to have their own surnames, but there were still a large number of civilians without surnames.
Chinese surnames are generally based on place names, country names, and positions. For example, Sikong is an official position.
Japanese names are generally taken from local materials. People who live in the middle of the field are called "Tanaka", those who live at the foot of the mountain are called "Yamashita", and those who live by the river are called "Watanabe". In China, many people took the place where their ancestors lived as their surname. For example, Ximen Qing’s ancestor lived in Lao Ximen.
Of course, no matter in China or abroad, nobles always use fief as their surname.
British people generally use their position as their surname. For example, the surname Smith, whose ancestor was a blacksmith, thought his surname; American singer Taylor, meaning a tailor; Apple CEO Cook, meaning a chef.
"So, what surname should I take?" The newly promoted young Yoman Nunpur was staring at the sky at this time, thinking about it in his heart, and began to think about his family's surname.
The other villagers were not far behind, and began to think about their own surnames, so at this moment, a mess of surnames came out.
...
The release of the popular surname has excited people throughout the United Kingdom. Everyone's enthusiasm for the surname is extraordinary.
Riding on this period of naming enthusiasm, the United Kingdom immediately held a population census across the country, including uncensored Scotland, and the newly occupied French regions of Normandy and Brittany.
In a blink of an eye, the time came to the end of 1564, and the French started a new round of civil war.
Other countries, including the United Kingdom, did not intervene any more, and just watched from the sidelines, watching the French fight each other.
The Spaniards are very busy. While suppressing the riots in the Netherlands, they also have to deal with the naval challenges of the Ottoman Empire. They are busy at both ends, and their finances are gradually drying up.
United Kingdom of Great Britain, after more than half a year of population generalization, the results are finally released.
"Your Majesty, at present, the population of England is 3.6 million, and there are 300,000 reserve men who meet the requirements for conscription!"
At the end of the year, Prime Minister William Selsey began to do the last round of reporting work, and the expression on his face was quite rich.
Nostalgia, reluctance, regret, and entanglement, unwillingness.
His Majesty the King swept away the previous lazy movements, sat upright, and listened solemnly.
In order to establish a better mobilization system, His Majesty Edward combined with the ancient military service system left over from England, and began to establish a sound militia military service reserve system throughout the country.
One month of voluntary service for His Majesty the King every year, gather in winter, conduct a series of military training, and hone your quality.
Instead of being a soldier like before, you have to coax and arrest strong men.
Not all men can be soldiers.
No night blindness, no disability, no criminal record.
300,000 is already a lot. These reserve militiamen are all high-quality and experienced militiamen, which are much better than the previous source of troops.
"Scotland, with a population of 1.2 million and a reserve of 200,000!"
Scots live more by grazing, and their physique is much better than that of English who eat rye. Just one night blindness alone does not know how many Englishmen have been brushed.
All, the Scots, whose population is only one-third of England, have only one hundred thousand fewer reserve troops.
Regarding this, His Majesty the King has a clear expression.
In history, the British Empire, where the sun never sets, was established, and the merits established by the Scots were no less than that of the English. The Scots in the army accounted for nearly half of the number.
"Wales has a population of 430,000 and 30,000 reserve troops."
"Ireland, with a population of 800,000 and 10,000 reservists!"
Ireland's real population under the governance of the governor is only more than 300,000, and the rest are self-governing Celtic tribes.
Moreover, many of the population under the governor's jurisdiction were migrated by criminals and have no criminal records. I don't know how many people have been recruited. The reserve can reach 10,000, which is already remarkable.
"The Normandy area has a population of 1.32 million and 100,000 reserve troops."
"The Brittany region has a population of 680,000 and 50,000 reserve troops!"
"The total controlled population of the United Kingdom, the real number is 8.03 million, and the reserve is 690,000."
At the end, Your Excellency the Prime Minister was very moved. This number is astonishing and unbelievable.
His Majesty Edward is like this. He estimated in his heart that the total population is more than seven million. It is too surprising why there are nearly one million more people suddenly.
Before the king asked a question, Your Excellency the Prime Minister immediately spoke and explained:
"After this detailed population registration in Scotland, a large number of civilians sheltered by nobles emerged, and the highlanders were also added to the registration list this time, which led to rapid population growth!"
"More importantly, a large number of Protestants from the Netherlands, as well as Protestants who escaped religious persecution in Spain, migrated to live in England, resulting in a population increase of more than 100,000. These are elites with money in their pockets .”
After explaining this way, His Majesty the King suddenly realized that it was all because of the war.
When the war came, ordinary people could only stay at home and wait to be slaughtered, but the rich and nobles did not wait to die, and quickly migrated to Protestant areas.
Compared with the chaotic German region, England, which has always been stable and peaceful, has become their first choice.
"So the quality of the immigrants is very good, they are all relatively rich, and the poor have no money to buy tickets!"
His Majesty the King touched his stubbled chin, thinking.
These high-quality immigrants are the most popular in the United Kingdom. They are rich and skilled, and they can play an important role in promoting the development of the United Kingdom.
At this moment, Edward realized that his United Kingdom was so similar to the United States of later generations, with a developed economy, a stable society, and a good political atmosphere, it was simply the best place for immigrants.
"Then, it is very important to manage immigration well, and the Immigration Bureau should be established!"
