role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qiang people, including the Xiongnu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They who initially had no intention of confronting the Great Han head-on immediately restrained themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi’s vision certainly wasn’t limited to the Northern Border.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people and horses he dispatched back then, whether Yang Hu or Du Yu, resulted from his deep thought and consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These individuals have the capability to perfectly execute his plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——An unprecedented major reform arose in Kyushu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This naturally couldn’t avoid a bloody storm, but what does that matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Integration is the choice of the era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s also a milestone for history to move forward once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No storm or pressure can change this fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, compared to the original history, the plan Gu Yi implemented this time has smoothly progressed much more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Great Han is overwhelmingly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dominance far exceeds that in the original history, and the emergence of the Gu Clan has pushed this dominance to its pinnacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it’s the legends of Gu Xi and Gu Chen;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or the migration Gu Chen planned back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effort of generations has already set the stage for today’s events with perfect opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Gu Yi needs to do is to carry out all of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This isn’t merely about threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among every Barbarian tribe, there are those inclined toward the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understand the current culture of the Great Han far better than others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi is incredibly generous with his rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bestows Han surnames on them, allocates land to them, and elevates their status within the tribes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these lands aren’t fertile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s more than sufficient for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——The hustle and bustle of the world all for profit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is effective for anyone, and under these circumstances, the biggest drawback of such league systems becomes completely exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more people choose to embrace Great Han culture for their own interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it’s just for profit now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what does that matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this trend, their descendants will eventually experience significant changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire integration plan is in full swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi meticulously controls everything with Gu Ye at the helm, bestowing surnames based on their cultural beliefs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Gu Ye even supplemented Gu Yi’s ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What surprised Gu Yi was——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Ye actually proposed a surname system similar to the \"Nine Grade Zhongzheng System,\" categorizing the Barbarians’ surnames into upper, middle, and lower classes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within each class, three surnames were further divided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were assigned based on their degree of Hanization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each surname in every class provided different treatment and status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those at the top could even participate in Great Han’s Imperial examinations!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are those with unconventional compound surnames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move greatly surprised Gu Yi, but upon careful thinking, he found this method absolutely feasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans are like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as their lives aren’t threatened, they will have the urge to climb upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using surnames for differentiation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allowing their internal competition for status to gradually evolve into a surname competition, subtly leading them to accept Great Han culture!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Gu Yi doesn’t know whether this approach will affect future generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s undeniable that, for the current situation, this strategy is definitely executable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in Qianji’s fifth year, April.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi held a grand sacrificial ceremony outside the domestic city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ritual was especially unique, completely different from previous rites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi placed the gods of various Barbarian tribes on the altar, only their positions were significantly lesser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most critical core——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still belonged to the most orthodox of Great Han, Haotian and the Five Emperors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this ceremony, Gu Yi manipulated Gu Ye to formally bestow surnames upon these Barbarians!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upper-class surnames: \"Yan, Zhao, Xuan\";\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Middle-class surnames: \"An, Gui, Zhong\";\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lower-class surnames: \"Tuo, Wu, Hui\";\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those with unconventional compound surnames, there are more, almost belonging to tribes that completely deviate from Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact of this event is unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Northern Border once again welcomed a wave of rebellion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi’s sacrificial ceremony and the act of bestowing surnames have completely extinguished the unrealistic ambitions of some tribes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Han is destined not to easily forgive them this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even under the threat to their beliefs, even if they know it’s hard to resist, they will ultimately raise their hunting knives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what does that matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this day——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even there’s no longer a need for the Han Army to intervene personally; those tribes bestowed with single surnames eager to climb upward will help Great Han resolve them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi gave them genuine benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the upper-class surnames;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the middle and lower classes can obtain land and have certain privileges in the trade market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such direct benefits are enough to make countless people go mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To most people, rather than pursuing the faith that disregards their life and death, it’s better to seize the opportunity at hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Human nature——is always like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Gu Yi didn’t anticipate was that even the fleeing Goguryeo king was captured and brought back by the Goguryeo people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the fear of unknown migration, the current various systems proposed by Great Han are naturally more attractive to ordinary Goguryeo citizens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grand trend has formed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the foundation of this trend is built on the threat of the Han Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the present, it suffices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone clearly feels the distinction between their status, they will protect this policy for their own interests.\u003C\u002Fp>",914,"2026-06-03T09:29:35.354Z","2026-06-03T09:29:44.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","0ef30d3517a958b51460fab24337d0375f607cd74a64a80377c1b578da3696b2","i-can-control-my-ancestors-chapter-323","i-can-control-my-ancestors-chapter-321",517,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-control-my-ancestors-cover.jpg"]
