When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

The next day, I went to see Yao Ce.

At this time, Yao Ce was dealing with something.

That is, whip your son.

Yao He got into trouble again and fought with a Shang warrior.

It would have been fine to win, but he actually didn't win and was hung up.

It was not discovered until this morning, and then brought by the twins.

At this time, Yao Ce was stunned.

I don’t know how far the news has spread, but once it spreads, it will be laughed out of!
Fortunately, there was the Xin family here, and these merchant warriors did not dare to mess around, otherwise my son might have left first.

When Ax came here and saw this scene, he felt helpless for no reason.

When the two twin slaves saw the ax coming, they quickly came up to report it.

Yao Ce then threw the whip to them and roared angrily: "Pull it down!"

The two of them quickly carried Yao He, who was beaten to the point of crying for his father and mother, and left.

Yao Ce saw the axe, looked at the axe's face, and became even more angry for no reason.

This boy really looks too much like Xin Qu and Axe's father. He could hardly suppress his anger when A Mei was kidnapped: "What happened?"

"Zixun asked me to be his chaplain, and Qu said I would make the decision myself, so I came to ask you, uncle. Now you are the most knowledgeable inside and outside."

After Ax finished speaking, Yao Ce was stunned, and then said: "Wang Zixun asked you to be his chaplain? Did Qu stop you?"

"No." Ax shook his head. He really didn't stop him, but he didn't think Xin Qu had other arrangements.

Yao Ce was silent for a moment, and looked at the ax twice more.

Although I don't like the boy's appearance, I have to say that Amei gave birth to two powerful boys.

Xinqu relied on his own efforts to build up the current Youxin family business.

Ax was even favored by the Shang royal family in Dayi, and was even invited to be his chariot chief.

This is the boss’s confidant representative.

Since Xin Qu didn't stop him, then...

"Okay, since you asked, my suggestion is to go to the south." After thinking for a while, Yao Ce said, "You also know that although the Xin family is developing very fast now, it is still not as good as the hundreds of years of business in the south. clan, let alone a royal clan.

The recent news in the south has become more and more intense. If there had been any news from King Shang at the beginning, I might not advise you to go south.

But it's a pity that King Shang didn't make any movement at all and just allowed the Shang clan to have civil strife. This was very unusual.

But no matter what, the gamble is worth taking.

I will arrange a group of slaves for you, and Qu will also prepare them for you. When the time comes, they will bring them over and keep in touch with your fourth sister Ling Yao and become her escort tribe.

This tribe... I'll talk to Qu and Zixun, don't worry about this. "

"I understand." Ax nodded, "Thank you, uncle."

"Family, what are you grateful for?" Yao Ce waved his hand, "But if you gain a firm foothold in the future, if your cousin needs help, please help if you can."

"I will. The south side will definitely be able to stand firm."

"Okay, I'll be relieved with your words." Yao Ce stopped talking nonsense and immediately got busy.

Soon, Ziyu came to see Yao Ce and Xinqu.

The two parties negotiated the issue of the ax, and finally the Youxin clan contributed [-] manpower to form a new clan and branch out.

As for the clan name, Xin Qu said: "Let's call it Youxin clan."

"Ahem..." Ziyu took a sip of cold white water and was made to cough by these words. She quickly waved her hands and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. Those in the south who call themselves Xinshi are not even thirty but twenty. You're over here. , why don’t you start a fight with them?

My idea is to establish a new one. Of course, if the Xin family feels it is inappropriate, the prince can deal with it later. "

"That's not necessary." Xin Qu shook his head slightly, "Since it is a tribe that I have branched off from the Xin family, it is common sense to handle it according to the title system of the Xin family.

The title of an official is determined by himself.

As for the clan name, it is called Lu. "

Xinqu quickly came up with a new clan name.

"Lu?" Ziyu looked carefully and saw that the shape of the Lu given by Xin was a fish on the top and a mouth on the bottom. "What does it mean?"

Literally speaking, Ziyu thinks it means eating fish.Regardless of whether it is north or south, fish is regarded as a delicacy.

Especially fish meat, which is fish sashimi, is the norm for fishing and hunting people.

So, you must like to eat delicious food?

Of course Xinqu explained: "Be careful when eating fish. The fish has spines and must be handled well. The food must not be tired of fineness, and the meat must not be tired of fineness. Don't be rude."

Lu also means reckless and careless.

It's a warning, don't act rashly, think twice before doing anything, otherwise you will be a stupid person. "

"Good words! Good words!"

Ziyu couldn't help stroking her palms. No wonder the Xin family had so many characters that were completely different from the oracle bone inscriptions. It turned out that the Xin family even borrowed the original characters.

not bad!
"Then, the Lu family will move south, and Father Lu will follow us."

Xin Qu frowned slightly. The sound Ziyu just made was "father" and not "axe". It seems that "father" and "axe" in the south are the same characters.

But it's okay, because in a sense, both the father and the ax are extensions of the patriarchal figure holding a stick.

It's just that when later generations created characters, ax was changed into a phonetic character to specifically refer to axe.

"Then the last requirement is that the rule of the Xin family is that after six generations, the surname will be the surname, but the ax is special. After all, he left the Xin family early.

Therefore, his last name must be listed separately. "

Xinqu wrote down the surname "" and handed it to Ziyu.

Ziyu looked at it suspiciously and said, "As far as I know, your ministry allows new common people to take this surname in order to prevent confusion in marriages.

But for the Lu family, which is dominated by slaves, it shouldn't be used, right? "

Xin Qu shook his head slightly: "The surname represents an origin, and the ax going south means his new beginning. There is no need to continue to use surnames such as Xin and Yao.

Children of the Xin generation generally believe that if the Lu family marries us in the future, the rule of not marrying with the same surname will also reduce unnecessary risks. "

"Okay." When Ziyu heard this, it was also for the sake of his descendants. This surname is just a variation of the Xin family and has little influence.

As a result, after the negotiation was completed, Ax transformed into Lu Fu, the patriarch of the Lu family.

The Xin family officially left Changping and formed a separate branch.

After Xinqu solved the problem of Ax's surname, he had Ziyu sent away.

Then Yao Ce said: "I'm very curious, why do you have to give Ax a separate surname?"

"No reason." Xin Qu shook his head slightly, "There are too many Xin clans in the south. Instead of making Zixun wary of axes, it is better to eliminate this problem for him in advance.

And his surname is Lu.

Others in the south include the Xin family, most of whom still have the surname Si.

Then they can also get married.

It can be regarded as having more directions for marriage.

However, we have Xin’s surname that needs to be changed. "

As soon as Xin Qu said these words, Yao Ce frowned slightly: "Do you really want to change it?"

"Change! But not everyone is qualified to change."

Xin Qu stood up: “There are only two situations.

[-]. After the child is born, he is allowed to choose this surname before he is one year old.

[-]. When you become a scholar-bureaucrat, you will transfer this surname to your family name at the same time.

The purpose is to tie up the middle and high-level people and weaken the internal friction between the middle and high-level people.

At the same time, this also prohibits marriages between middle and high-level people, and puts more attention on training naturalized people and other forces.

There is a mixture of dragons and snakes within the Xin clan, and there are too many people from different tribes.

Now they can still be tied to each other by their titles, but over time if they cannot be linked by blood to form one surname, a split will be inevitable.

Therefore, glory is needed to solve hidden problems.

It's better to do it first than to do nothing.

If you are unwilling to change your surname, you must have a different intention. In this way, it will be clear who is a family member and who is an outsider. "(End of chapter)
