Chapter 43 Origin of Surname
In this era when surnames are beginning to become more clearly distinguished, the Xin family has caught up with the trend.

The first two generations of wizards completed the process of good and bad marriages within the clan.

It is stipulated that after a woman inherits her mother's surname, she cannot marry someone with the same surname.

Men cannot marry women with the same surname within three generations.

That is to say, a man cannot marry a woman with the surname of his great-grandmother, his grandmother's surname, and his mother's surname.

Once discovered, immediately judge them as evil and use the power of ghosts and gods to scare them away.

As for those who mess up, they will naturally be punished by God.

After all, a forced union would give birth to a deformed child, which would increase the wizard's prestige and power by not listening to the wizard's divination.

Therefore, the wizard is only responsible for divination. As for how to toss you in the future, he will not lose anything.

Although there was a bit of pretentiousness in it, Xin Qu thought about it and decided to implement the five-life non-marriage policy. After all, if naturalization is started next, changes must be made to marriage.

Too few surnames can cause problems.

In addition, if there are too many people with the same surname, it is easy for foreigners with the same surname to gradually turn against them. After all, the Xin family is not very powerful. If the foreigners are not further divided, trouble will happen.

Wu Xiaoye watched Xin Qu's eyes become firmer and asked, "Have you decided?"

"Well, it must be changed. The zeal of a gentleman is cut off in the fifth life. Then in the sixth life, if you have your own surname, use your own surname. If not, use your father's surname as your surname, establish your own lineage, and then the rest Row down.

Let the tribesmen separated after five generations reduce the cost of marriage with the same surname, and also strengthen the ties between factions within the tribe.

At the same time, we also encourage them to actively marry into the ethnic groups that will be naturalized in the future to expand the base of our Xin family, so that the foreign races will not completely overwhelm the main body of the Xin family, and the final tail will not be lost.

I'll make arrangements later, and you can help me coordinate. "

"Okay." Wu Xiaoye didn't object, and she could hear Xin Qu's worry.

"Then since you can't ask for a genealogy, you can just tell me what my last name is." Xinqu asked again. He really wanted to know where his mother's family came from.

Seeing his pleading, Wu Xiaoye sighed and said: "Your mother's surname is Yao, your grandmother's surname is Ji, your fourth life mother's surname is Si, your fifth life mother's surname is Jiang, your sixth life's mother's surname is Qi, your seventh life's mother's surname is Li..."

Xinqu opened his mouth wide, knowing for the first time that his grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-grandmother were from different tribes and had different surnames.

They really implemented the rule of not marrying if they have the same surname.

However, there are so many surnames?

"Do you remember the score in such detail?"

"Well, shamans in the past dynasties would record the birth of a child in the tribe, because it is related to the future marriage partner of the tribe. Generally, if they get married with the same surname, they will also perform divination. If it is auspicious, it will not be auspicious.

But if you say that the fifth generation will kill Qize, that means you can't marry any of Yao, Ji, Si, and Jiang. "

"That's really all in one fell swoop." Xin Qu looked strange.

If you want to compete with the merchants of Dayi, if you can't marry any of Xia Housi, Yao and Jiang of Dongyi, and Ji and Jiang of Xiqiang, it will be equivalent to cutting off the chance of marriage linkage.

"Forget it, I'll just use Xin as my surname and establish my own lineage." Xin Qu was straightforward. For the sake of future development, he should be simple.

"Xin is not bad, but your surname is still Yao, and only your children can be called Xin." Wu Xiaoye reminded.

"Okay." Xinqu made a good gesture and turned to leave. Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "What's your last name?"

"It doesn't matter what the surname is. My surname is Feng. My mother is the Huangxiong clan." Wu Xiaoye's answer made Xin Qu scratch his head. The Huangxiong clan, according to the meaning of the word, is a tribe that uses yellow bear bears as a totem?
Seeing Xin Qu's confusion, Wu Xiaoye explained: "The Huangxiong clan is a tribe that separated from the tribe where the Huaxu clan and the Leize clan entered into a blood marriage. The first generation clan leader once entered the Middle Earth. Using your legend, it is similar to Yu Fuxi."

The so-called blood marriage is a group of brothers and a group of sisters who share husbands or wives with each other. The children are naturally shared by the group, and the children "know their mothers but not their fathers."

Men live a polygamous life, and women also live a polygamous life.

Xin Qu opened his mouth, his eyes full of surprise: "What are you talking about? A tribe dominated by blood marriage? If it was still in Middle-earth, wouldn't it be a thousand years ago?"

"Yeah. It's been a long time. Even after the Huangxiong clan was separated, they dispersed and established their own clans. Just like you, my ancestors were in the Youxin clan, and I am the only one with the Feng surname."

The girl took the trouble to answer Xin Qu's questions, and she always felt at ease when talking to him. She enjoyed it very much.

After all, when others see her, they feel more fear than awe. Only the suffering in front of her is like her friend.Xin Qu was a little surprised. The twists and turns behind the surname were probably the twists and turns in the transition of clans from primitive society.

The Xin family now has a couple marriage, but more men only have a given name but no surname, while women take their mother's surname.

In other words, the Xin family name is the family name of all men.

Xin Qu raised his eyebrows, still feeling that the clan-state system should change.

Although the constraints of the clan and tribal public property system cannot be changed for the time being, this is actually an advantage.

Because the public property system can be changed to household joint property, which is equivalent to a half-step forward. At the same time, as long as the household separation policy is formulated, household joint property can become an actual small-scale peasant economy and be self-sufficient.

After all, what he wants to implement now is a public property system where what is paid to the clan and the rest belongs to the family, and the family is the smallest unit.

Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the division of family surnames to prevent the birth of large families that threaten the future framework.

Xin Qu left Wu Xiaoye's place, and there were almost 700 fewer people in the tribe. They were already heading towards the northwest area of ​​ten miles and began to prepare to burn the wasteland.

Xinqu looked around the settlement town. If the reconstruction here is pushed forward, it will consume a lot of time and energy. If the drought in the east cannot be suppressed, having one more stronghold can save a lot of time in absorbing the naturalization of people from other clans. time.

Well, let’s keep it for now, there’s no need to do it all in one step.

However, if it is reclaimed, the hunting ground on the other side can be tidied up.

Xinqu looked to the southwest of the river beach outside the tribe and could see a mountain twenty miles away.

It is Jianshanzui in the north of Mentougou.

Going into the mountains there is the territory of the four major tribes: Di, Shan, Luan, and Ku. They live at the intersection of rivers and have their own territories, but they often come out of the mountains to plunder. At first, there was no one in Changping. , they went to Zhuolu next door to plunder.

Later, the merchants from Dayi came and beat them together. After all, who made these guys from the mountains not be friendly to the merchants from Dayi and not pay tribute to their slaves?

Sometimes it was mixed with Hijikata, and it was once called a part of Hijikata by merchants.

However, Xin Qu personally led the team to gain some understanding.

These guys are not Hijikata at all.

Their ancestry is very complicated.

There are remnants of Dongyi soldiers who escaped from Guzhu, Qiang people, Guifang, Tufang, and even the clans after Huangdi.

Just names and surnames, including Shaohao, Shaodian, Xuanyuan and Taotang.

Of course, the most powerful one in Hebei should be the Ji family with the surname Qi.

That is to say, there is Zhuozhou, which is more than 80 kilometers away in a straight line to the south of the Xin family. Ji Kingdom established its own country. When they were in civil strife, some people would run to the mountains. After wandering for a while, they would go to the four major areas to gather.

Some were killed, some were eaten, and some were fused and unified.

Therefore, the four major tribes have different internal surnames and different interests, and have evolved into four different types of tribes.

The mountain tribes mainly engage in fishing and hunting.

Because the Di tribe is close to Zhuolu, they sometimes go out to nomadic people. They only stay in the mountains in winter, or send old people back, and the rest of the time they go out to rob.

The Luan tribe is mainly nomadic farming, fishing and hunting. They should be wandering around in the mountains. They are annoying everywhere. After all, to open up wasteland, you need to burn the mountains. If you don't burn the mountains you control, you often go to other tribes' territory to burn, deliberately forcing the other tribes to escape. , so the conflict between the Luan tribe and the mountain tribe is the most intense.

The last Ku tribe hides deep in the hinterland of the mountains, which is rugged and difficult to travel, but they can also farm because they have many water sources.

Therefore, they build logs as nests and live in caves. They rarely come out to rob, but they are not incapable of robbing.

More than 6000 people were lying in the mountains, and Xin Qu was drooling, but it was not the time to attack them. We had to see what was happening on the other side of the earth.

If the earth doesn't come, then no matter how difficult it is to walk in this mountain, we will still have to gnaw at it.

"Clan leader! Clan leader! There are people from the Ji family coming outside!"

"what?"
