There are more than 20000 beautiful women sent from other countries to Chang'an. Empress Cui Wan can't call every beautiful woman to have a look in person. A considerable number of places are selected by Zhuo Xiang.
If they are the selected Princess level, they will become one of the women in Liu Yan's harem. Generally, after entering the palace, the queen will give a fixed product, but the product level will not be high. It should be from level 10 to level 17.
At present, the harem system of the Han Empire is improved from the harem level of the Western Han Dynasty, from high to low: 1 Queen 2 (IV) imperial concubine, 3 Zhaoyi, 4 madam, 5 beauty, 6 lover, 7 eight sons, 8 seven sons, 9 long envoy, 10 less envoy, 11 Jieyu, 12 she e, 13 ronghua, 14 Chongyi, 15 facial features, 16 Shunchang, and the subsequent five positions of wujuan, Republic, entertainment, Baolin, good envoy and night man stand side by side as the last level (17).
The more important countries will be rated as level 10. The weaker the countries, the lower the princess grade will be.
The harem also depends on the product level. The higher the product level, the better the treatment. The lower the product level, the worse the treatment. That is directly reflected in the living place and the servants under the name. There is even a strict distinction between eating and drinking expenses.
There are not a few beautiful women selected by the queen as the emperor's bedfellows. For every country that sends a princess, if the country sends only one princess, it will be selected. If there is more than one princess, the other candidates will be eliminated. There are 12 selected princesses.
In addition to the princess, some noble beauties from those countries were also selected, with a number of 36.
After a round of draft, including princesses and noble beauties, a total of 48 became the emperor's bedfellows.
For the rest, that is, the remaining 3000 beauties of nearly all nationalities, Liu Yan will negotiate with Cui Wan. Basically, all civil and military officials can be rewarded with at least one beauty, and some high barons will also be selected according to the order of their titles.
Of course, the selection list was not announced by posting the imperial list, but was issued by the officials of Honglu hall in person.
The will issued by Honglu hall comes from the queen, and the official name is Yizhi.
"Helena Constantine, she is cautious, hardworking and gentle, gentle and pure, gentle, and virtuous. She is canonized as a junior envoy!"
In the post house, high-ranking people from Rome lined up. After listening, Helena came forward to receive the decree and thanked the officials who announced it.
The Romans in line did not disperse immediately, but waited for the officials of the Han Empire to announce the next Yizhi, but there was no next Yizhi at all.
"Use less." Zhou Bian didn't put on any spectrum and maintained due respect, but instead of respecting hailina, he respected the identity of "Shaoshi": "please get ready as soon as possible. At this time tomorrow, I will welcome the Shaoshi into the palace."
Helena looked a little unresponsive. After nodding her head, she asked, "is there no imperial edict?"
Zhou explained that it was not the imperial edict, but the imperial edict of the queen. Finally, he replied, "no more."
The present Romans looked at Helena, who had been waiting with a smile, and saw Helena with a stiff expression on her face.
"How could..." Helena didn't understand: "it would be me, isn't it..."
"Please speak carefully." Zhou Bian has noticed something wrong with the Romans. Since Helena has accepted the order and is the less envoy of the Han Empire, she said the following words: "there is no mistake in who is selected. Don't make mistakes."
"..." Helena flustered her thanks: "thank you very much for your reminder."
Even if the emperor doesn't want to break the rules, the emperor can't interfere with the queen. What's the opinion of the chosen one.
Zhou Bian then made some explanations, such as what preparations need to be made, reminding Helena that she can bring no more than three (female) people to the palace.
That's the treatment of "less envoys". You can arrange your own female officials and maids. It's also very humanized, considering that there won't be no one who can speak after entering the palace.
This is especially true for princesses from all over the world. Most of them don't understand Chinese. It can be seen what kind of dilemma they will encounter after entering the palace. Don't get lost and starve because of lack of language, or no one who can speak has autism.
On hearing that Helena could bring three (female) people into the palace, Helena immediately thought of many famous women in Roman history, but these women generally exist as mistresses.
Zhou Bian left the strange atmosphere of the Romans and left. He still needs to go to many places.
"Sister." Helena's voice sounded cold and said, "you didn't send out the prepared thank-you gift."
There are some rules in the world, such as what the supreme ruler sends to inform, especially on the premise of good news, the notified person can't let the visitor go back empty handed.
This is a hidden rule in Zhuxia and an open rule in Rome.
Helena looked at her sister apologetically and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Helena..." Julian looked at Helena who seemed unaffected with some worry. He hesitated for a moment and said in a relaxed tone: "we know that the aesthetic outlook of Han people is different from us..."
In terms of Roman aesthetic standards, there is no doubt that the amorous Helena will be more popular than the green Helena.
Julian didn't finish what he said. He realized that it's no use trying to persuade him now. Saying those words seems to dislike Helena. That's very bad. Especially Helena has become an important medium to witness the friendship between Rome and the Han Empire.
Helena's mind is full of confusion. She has thought a lot in a short time and speculated on the reason why she was not selected.
The Romans would speak ill of some Persians or others and praise their candidates; Persians, Roma, Cypriots... No matter who they are, they will not praise candidates from other countries.
[it must be more than their slander...] Helena has a false smile on her face and is very complicated in her heart: [she must have been found out with some real evidence!]
Go back to Rome in despair? Helena would rather rot in the Han empire than return to Rome like this! She kept thinking about what she could do.
In addition, several post houses have received orders from various countries, with laughter and depression.
"Why did I lose the election?" Nikal's face was unconvinced: "why!"
Keshias looked at nikar with a smile. Nikar looked very cute when he was angry.
"Maybe..." Ye Na guessed, "is it because you are too active when being examined by the queen?"
Nicole lost her voice immediately. At that time, she was only a little uneasy, more curious, her facial expressions were very rich, and there were some small movements of her limbs.
"It must be because I'm too young!" Nikal peeped at his slightly flat chest: "it must be so!"
In other words, neither Yena nor Nicar guessed wrong. There are indeed such factors.
On the day when the list is officially determined, countries will inevitably inquire about each other.
After exploring, they learned that only one princess was selected in a country, and the losers had all kinds of mentality.
"I don't want to go back!" Nicole was simply unconvinced, especially because she felt that she lost the election because of her milk volume: "I will grow up and have a chance!"
Ye Na smiled and nodded: "you can take three people. You will be one of them."
The rest of the Persians have no opinion. Shapur II is about to send his daughter and granddaughter. I really didn't think they would go back. Even if Nicole can't follow Ye Na into the palace, Nicole will live in Chang'an for a long time. She may be waiting for the opportunity to become the bedmaster of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, or she may find a Han man who is helpful to Sasan to marry.
The day after the promulgation of the Yi decree, the officials of the Honglu hall went out again, mainly taking the princesses of various countries who were selected as the servants of the emperor into the palace. In addition, those noble beauties were by the way.
On the same day, the Zhuque Avenue from the post office area to the palace city of Chang'an city was crowded again.
People are always a group of people who like to watch the excitement. They won't miss the scene of watching the selected candidates enter the palace. They are very proud of this grand scene. After hundreds of years, there has finally been a grand occasion of beautiful women sent by all countries to please. They firmly believe that this is the proof that the Han people stand on the top of the world nation again.
"A lot!"
"I heard that those foreign women will be rewarded later?"
"What foreign women? They will be Han's daughter-in-law in the future."
"Yes, yes, yes."
By the 12th year of Yuanshuo, the number of foreign women who took the initiative or were abducted as Han's daughter-in-law (wife or concubine) had exceeded 2.8 million.
The total number is so much, but it is not a Han family. There is only one upper limit for men, and one is only the base.
It may be that a Han man has a foreign woman as his wife and has several concubines who are also foreign women.
According to the official data, 870000 families took foreign women as wives nationwide, and 1.37 million families accepted foreign women as concubines.
Even after the war, there are only one or two people in a family, but there has been a transition period of 13 years, and the members of each family are actually increasing.
If the average number of people in a household is four (excluding servants and slaves), 1.37 million households involve a population of 5.48 million. If you include the relationship between relatives and friends, more people will be affected.
If there were no foreign women, how many Han children would be single all their lives?
It must be right to accept foreign women as a member of society in today's Han country. Not only the government advocates non discrimination, but also the people are very conscious.
Moreover, they actively accept this integration, but not passively. In any way, it is something to be proud of rather than humiliated.
The Han people were destined to enter the era of multi-ethnic integration from the moment when Liu Yan returned from his first job of abducting foreign women.
The early stage of this kind of integration was established under the force of the Han people. The first objects to be integrated came from the three countries on the peninsula.
The race on the other side of the peninsula is not very different from the Han people in terms of skin color and living habits. The only thing that can be called an obstacle is the lack of language. Because there was no great difference in all aspects of race, the first batch of national integration was easily accepted by the Han people. They have to accept it, or do they have to wait for a decade or two to wait for a new generation of Han women to grow up and start a family?
With the first batch of successful integration cases, the next batch of women from the Japanese islands.
For the Han people, except that the Japanese women are too short, otherwise in any way, the Japanese women know how to serve people better than the peninsula women, and they are also more diligent.
The second batch of ethnic integration achieved the greatest success again, which not only solved the physiological problems of the majority of bachelors, but also solved the incense problem. There is nothing dissatisfied between the government and the people, which laid a good foundation for multiple integration in the future.
By the time of the third integration, it was not so smooth at the beginning. The main reason is that the third batch of alien women who will be integrated... How to say? Dark skin is not the key. It is the facial features that make Han people feel... Not ugly, but strange.
The third batch of integration is full of ups and downs, and the time period of acceptance is also longer. It is only when the reputation of women's diligence in Indochina Peninsula is spread that the Han family son Lang believes that it is not a bad thing to accept foreign women in Indochina Peninsula.
There has been ethnic integration on the Indochina Peninsula for some time. There is a phenomenon among the people now, that is, the skin of some newborns is relatively dark from birth, and social problems gradually appear. For example, Chinese children with yellow skin are not happy to play with Chinese children with dark skin
The government has been paying attention to the education of the next generation. We can't allow mutual discrimination. We have been guiding and guiding public opinion since children's childhood. The main target is adults, and then let the social atmosphere eliminate this discrimination.
Han people not only accepted foreign women with dark skin, but also accepted a large number of white skin foreign women after entering the grassland and western regions. In the future, mixed race children will not only have dark skin, but also the new generation of Han people who prefer white skin. We can't let the difference of skin color cause social contradictions.
The pace of the Han Empire's conquest will not stop. It is impossible for the whole empire to have only one skin, so it would be a good way to define ethnic groups by culture. The old ancestors have always been the same, or there would be no Zhuxia now.
"Our generation will be the most wonderful generation." According to the rules, Liu Yan would first review the beauties brought into the palace. He stood on the platform and looked down. There were more than 3000 foreign beauties kneeling on the ground in a neat queue: "I take the lead in accepting the daughters of all nationalities and leading the sons of Han family to enrich the gene bank of Han is my boundless business!"
Below, there are beautiful women in a kneeling posture. They are flowers waiting to be picked!
