When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 386 The surname is Yan
The next day, Xinqu took a bristle toothbrush and got a little salt while brushing his teeth.

Just as he was about to rinse his mouth, he raised his head and saw the flag with the word "Yan".

"Pff-cough-cough-"

Xin Qu choked and was at a loss for a while. He quickly finished washing up and then came to the flag.

When he saw clearly it was Ji Xu and the others.

"Ah, Chief Xinqu, are you here to do business too?"

The woman who had previously called Ji Xu brother, her eyes lit up when she saw Xin Qu.

There was also some commotion in the shack, and soon several boys with Xin family names came out with messy hair and half-clothed clothes. When they saw it was Xin Qu, their expressions suddenly changed, and they knelt on the ground: "Patriarch...Patriarch, I was wrong..."

Xinqu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized: "How long have two of them been out? At this moment, they can't control their subordinates? Take them away and deal with them according to military law!"

"Yes!"

Qingyan looked at this boy helplessly.

Stay overnight in a prostitution camp and get thirty military sticks.

If you keep fighting, you'll lose half your life.

"Patriarch..."

Ow—

Screams soon spread around the shack, frightening the women into panic.

"Where's Ji Xu?" Xin Qu said nothing.

"I...I'm going to find my brother right now." The woman hurriedly went to find her brother.

Soon, Ji Xu came to the flag of "Yan" and looked at Xin Qu carefully.

"Chief Xinqu."

"Well, is this your family name?"

"Ah, yes, it's my family name."

Ji Xu nodded. This "Yan" is indeed the surname passed down from his lineage. "My ancestors were granted this surname since they were drawn from Jizhou in the post-Xia Dynasty. Later, due to some reasons, Yan With the decline of the Ji family, we can only merge with the Ji family and become a vassal of the Ji family.

About 30 years ago, my aunt married into a tribe named Ji called Zhao. I also went there to study, and only then did I learn about the past of our family.

Later, Zhao offended the Shang clan, was attacked by the Shang clan, and moved west without a trace, so we completely lost contact. "

"Is this the word Zhao...?" Xinqu squatted down and wrote the word "Zhao Fang".

"Yes! That's it!" Ji Xu was overjoyed, "Does Patriarch Xinqu know about him?"

"Yes. I understand." Xinqu nodded, "Does the Zhao family have a custom of dividing families?"

"Yes! This is the custom!" Ji Xu nodded repeatedly, "I heard from my aunt that his husband was given a clan called Tian."

"This?" Xinqu wrote another word for Tian, ​​but added four dots.

There are dots in the box, which means that there are plants growing, or it can be understood that this is a city with buildings on the roads.

The specific reason is unknown, but Zhou in the Shang Dynasty does have this character.

When he first learned oracle bone inscriptions from the old witch, he paid a lot of attention to the word Zhou. In the Youxin family, Zhou also means time.

Because the "Zhou" in the Xin family is actually four characters.

They are: "There is nothing in the field and it is white, it is winter", "The falling spots in the field are seeds, it is spring", "The fields are pulling out strips and raising leaves, it is summer", "The fields are full of lodging ears, it is autumn".

Therefore, the four words formed into one are winter, spring, summer and autumn.

It can also be used separately, each table has its own time.

This is a typical symbol of farming people.

It is used for divination.

"Yes! That's it."

"This is called Zhou." Xin Qu stood up, the Zhao family separated, and the Zhou family was born.

But at this moment, they should still be vassalized under the Zhao family. After all, they all have the surname Ji, and the Zhou family is still just a small sect.

Xin Qu deduced the trend of history.It is very likely that the next four generations of Shang kings repeatedly attacked Qilongrong, Danshanrong and Zhaofang, the remnants of the Xia Queen who were entrenched in Luoyang.

Then the Zhao clan split up, and the Zhou clan moved westward back to Bindi, becoming and then gradually replacing the Zhou clan. They relied on the vassal Shang clan to help fight against the Qiang people, and gradually developed into the large Zhou clan in Guanzhong.

The effect of Ji Xu in front of him may not be small.

Ji's surname is Yan, and this Yan should be one of the ancient Yan kingdoms that was subsequently replaced by the son of Duke Zhao.

Later, he was forced to move south to seek help from Qi State named Jiang, and then established another country in Henan, which was the Nanyan Kingdom.

Yu and Yan were probably deliberately confused by the concubines of the Zhaogong lineage with the surname Yan.

Is the purpose for legal reasons?
The possibility is extremely possible!
Then it can be explained that the reason why the Zhou Dynasty was able to arrange people to come here to feudalism and stabilize it was because there were relatives everywhere. The Ji family had many Ji surnames, not to mention the Su surnames, which were probably married for many years.

Since there is a blood relationship and this area has not yet been fully developed, everyone is happy to support each other.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, after a hundred years of late Shang development, farming technology had become very mature.

What is lacking at the edges of forests and swamps is population, not living space.

Finally, the establishment of the Nanyan Kingdom also meant that the Zhaogong lineage completed the complete integration of the Beiping area.

The differentiation of the various surnames of Yan and Huang is really wonderful.

The Zhou family is now the small sect of the Zhao family. More than 100 years later, the Zhou family is the large sect of the Zhao family.

It turns out that the land of Youzhou, Yu, Yan, and Yan, were most likely to be different clan states in different periods. They were finally integrated into the Zongzhou vassal system, completing the merger of the northern legal systems. From then on, the land of Youyan became It became synonymous with the Haihe River Basin and the north and south of Yanshan Mountain.

"Okay, I understand." Xinqu quickly made a decision, "I respect Yanhuang, Xiahou and other people who have stood up for the people of our human race. Since you are the queen of a high-ranking family, I will not treat you badly.伱.”

"Thank you... thank you..." Ji Xu couldn't figure out what Xin Qu meant, but he also remembered his sister's reminder to him that if he makes a mistake, he will make a mistake. Anyway, if he doesn't die, they will make a profit.

"Then organize the army and pull those people away. I have ordered the horse to go and notify Xiaodize. Action will be taken soon."

"Eh!"

Ji Xu was overjoyed, and after seeing off Xin Qu, she quickly made arrangements.

Xinqu tidied himself up after that, sent letters quickly to various places, collected some food and grass, and then waited for time.

Because it might be cold in spring, so he needs to wait.

I have been out patrolling the place for a month.

February [-] is supposed to be the time when the dragon raises its head, but as spring approaches, the temperature is not right.

Xinqu didn't see the rain, but there was frost on the ground.

The snow is gone and there is frost.

"This land will die of drought."

Kala came to Xinqu and told the situation.

Xinqu has not been idle this month. He has brought people to help with the construction and reclamation of Guangyang. The more than 100 Ji people who were captured before are now demoted to slaves and have to work in the fields every day. They have suffered from frostbite for ten years. Multiple.

But it’s February [-]nd. There is no snow, no rain, and there is still frost on the ground. This weather is very abnormal.

It doesn’t feel like winter, but mid-autumn.

"Just in time, we will carve out a river channel from the nearby mountains, collect the stream water, and connect it directly to the Wuding River. We will tidy up the area near the Wuding River and plant taro after spring."

Xin Qu ordered.

"we can only do this."

Kara was a little helpless. He had no choice. In this weird and abnormal weather, no one could guarantee that there would be a harvest after planting in autumn. Which taro would be more cost-effective?

After all, taro really doesn’t have to choose a location. As long as the temperature is good enough, taro can grow in large quantities.

They can be planted on riverbanks and swamps. When they grow to the point where they start to fill up as tubers, they need a lot of water, and when the swamp floods, it is the time when they expand their tubers.

Young taro leaves can be used for eating and raising pigs.

He's just a little bit poisonous, but he's full of treasures.

"Patriarch, Patriarch!"

A fast horse came running up, and when he looked closely, he saw that it was a bird egg.
