Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 1067 Compilation of Hundred Family Names

What Yang Ying said made Qingji feel a little embarrassed.

According to the tradition of not marrying with the same surname, Qingji really shouldn't marry a few women with the surname Ji.

However, even though they share the surname of Ji, the blood relationship between Qingji and those concubines with the surname of Ji has been weakened. How can they not marry if they are out of the "five clothes"?
Compared to the kind where a cousin marries a cousin, Qingji's marriage is considered normal.

Men are called surnames and women are called surnames.

There is no doubt about this, and Da Wu has also passed it down.

For example, Qingji is generally called "Wu Qingji", and it is not polite to call him "Ji Qingji", and it is really insulting.

The surname plays an important role in "other marriages", such as "Qi Boji", the wife of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Qi" means that she married to Qi State or a man of the Qi family, "Bo" means that she is the eldest among her sisters, and "Ji" means that her natal family is Ji surname...

At this time, Zeng Shen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also followed, and said to Qingji: "Your Majesty, the surnames are based on the origin of their ancestors, and the surnames are separated from their descendants."

"The surname can be changed once passed down, but the surname remains unchanged for thousands of years. The surname is the surname, and the surname is the surname. They must not be confused!"

What Zeng Shen said is not unreasonable.

The surname originated earlier and is almost stable; while the surname is later and will change with various reasons.

Changes in clans often reflect changes in the status of noble men, such as the Jin State Doctors' Association in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. He was also called Shiji, Suihui, Fanhui, Suiwuzi, Fanwuzi, etc.

The "shi" representing the official position of the ancestor and his fief names "Sui" and "Fan" are all his surnames...

It's too complicated.

In fact, as a time traveler, Qing Ji knew that the combination of surname and surname into one was the general trend, and he did not need to promote it.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, "rituals collapsed and music deteriorated", wars continued frequently, and the patriarchal clan system gradually collapsed.

Historically, during the Warring States Period, the surname system had become very chaotic. Most of the "surnames" were transformed into "surnames". The status of common people gradually rose, and surnames also became available.

The Qin Dynasty completed the unification and changed the enfeoffment system that had lasted for thousands of years to the county system. The original patriarchal system and surname system completely lost their social foundation.

In the Ming Dynasty, the "family" of high and low, and the "surname" of different marriages no longer had any distinction in essence, and they all became symbols indicating clan and blood relationship.

By the time of the Western Han Dynasty, the surname and family name were completely integrated.

From then on, the Huaxia surname began to be passed down steadily from generation to generation.

Now the system of prefectures and counties is also implemented in Dawu, but there are many vassal kingdoms in the empire, such as Wuzhang, the king of Liao, can also be called "Liaozhang", and Wu Hong, the king of Ning, can also be called "Ningwang". Hong".

For example, those heroes who were given Shiyi by Qingji, they can no longer distinguish the "clan", so the collapse of the "clan" will not take long.

However, until now, "shi" is still a symbol of nobility, how could they allow it to be combined with the surname?

"His Majesty."

Yang Ying thought for a while, and then said to Qingji: "It will be a matter of time before the two surnames merge into one."

"It's just that my servant believes that no matter whether they are nobles or commoners, they are all His Majesty's subjects, and the subjects of Great Wu. Your Majesty, you should treat them equally!"

"Since ancient times, the noble have a clan, and the humble have a name but no clan."

"Civilians don't even have a surname, only a first name. Is this appropriate? Not appropriate."

"Especially after my Great Wu implemented compulsory education, a large number of common people's children enrolled, husband's name, where do we start?"

"Therefore, Minnen, please Your Majesty to give the people of the world a grace, so that common people can have their own surnames."

"..."

After all, Yang Ying still wanted Qingji to change the surname system.

From ancient times to the present, the hierarchical system is strict, and the surname and surname are the titles that only the nobles have the right to use.

Common people without names are called by their occupations, such as Pao Ding, Jiang Shi, Yi He, You Meng...

"Precise play."

Qing Ji finally agreed with Yang Ying's proposition.

"Zeng Shen, Li Ke."

"Chen is here!"

"The two of you are in charge of compiling a "Hundred Surnames", which lists the "one hundred surnames" of my Great Wu, and enters the one with the most surnames, so that ordinary people who do not have a surname can choose one as their own surname. "

Qingji paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and said again: "In addition, the Wu surname is stipulated as the first surname, and the Ji surname is the second most surname. You can handle the rest. After the book is completed, it will be handed over to me as soon as possible. Review."

"promise!"

Zeng Shen and Li Ke agreed.

Now in this world, there are the most people with the surname Ji, and even Qingji has the surname Ji, so one can imagine how many people have the surname Ji.

However, in order to increase the influence of the Wu family, Qingji must make the surname Wu the number one surname among hundreds of surnames.

The surname Wu is the surname of the country, and the common people will definitely give priority to it when choosing a surname.

In this way, Wu's surname will become the well-deserved number one surname!

……

The next day, accompanied by Prince Heng, Wu Ji, Wu Ming, Sun Di, Lu Ban and other civil servants and generals, Qingji came to the Qinhuai River Camp for inspection.

Review the three armies!
Among them, the most eye-catching thing is Wu's new weapon——

Guns and cannons!
Driven by Qing Ji, Dawu's steel smelting technology has matured, which can be called the peak level of the cold weapon era.

And Qingji graduated from a military academy in his previous life. Although he didn't know how to make weapons, he still knew a little about the blueprints for making some guns.

With relatively mature steelmaking technology, Qingji had Lu Ban and other craftsmen start to develop firecrackers and cannons many years ago, and made great progress.

Two years ago, Dawu gave birth to the first firecracker, the first artillery.

"preparation!"

Following the command of a captain in charge, the gunner standing beside the artillery immediately moved into action, filled gunpowder, oxidizers, loaded the shells into the muzzle, and finally aimed at the target on the opposite side, ignited lead.

"fire!"

As soon as the command flag was waved, a full twenty artillery pieces spewed out tongues of flame. When the gunpowder smoke filled the air, the shells flew out and hit the target at a distance of 500 meters.

"Boom!"

One after another loud noise, deafening.

The shells were so powerful that they blew out one big hole after another on the ground.

"it is good!"

"color!"

After witnessing the power of the artillery, all the ministers around Qingji were amazed and applauded.

"With such a powerful artillery, why worry about what kind of enemy cannot be destroyed?"

"No matter how strong the city wall is, no matter how brave the others are, under the bombardment of several artillery pieces, they will probably be turned into ashes!"

Qing Ji is not so optimistic.

The first batch of artillery developed by Da Wu is roughly equivalent to the "red cannon" of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but it actually has certain limitations...
