When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 66 Internal Relations among Shang Princes
After all, the previous heads of the Changxin family were either surnamed Ji or Si, and none had the surname Zi.

The blood and interests of the upper class aristocrats are not unified. Can this be a family?
If it hadn't been for this drought, which resulted in insufficient food distribution within the Yourong clan, it is very likely that the Changxin clan would have been dismembered.

Some people will rebel and flee, some people may come to reunite with the Xin clan, and the last part, such as Yao Ce, nobles who have been completely integrated with the Changxin clan, tend to completely become part of the Yourong clan.

The Yourong clan is a matrilineal clan. They rarely directly intervene in the development of men from collateral clans, but only conduct bloodline connections at the aristocratic level.

Constantly bound to each other through blood ties.

Anyway, the surname is "Hao" or "Zi", the only difference is whether you are a woman or a man. In this era, these two words are interchangeable.

This is almost the truth about how marriages between businessmen and aristocrats are often between brother and sister.

In fact, it is not a real brother-sister marriage, but a marriage between the matrilineal clan with the "Hao" surname and the patrilineal clan with the "Zi" surname.

The inertia that belongs to the group marriage system has developed to the present, and it is biased towards the walking marriage system.

This is why Shang kings in the past dynasties could have a bunch of wives, each of whom had their own fiefdom. They only spent a few days together each year to reproduce, and the rest of the time they spent in their own clans and owned their own property.

The sons born to the wives of Shang kings all had the surname "Zi", and the daughters they gave birth to had the surname of their own clan.

The most famous one is nothing more than the good women during the Wu Ding period of the Shang Dynasty.

Of course, this method was also used to strengthen the ties between different clans and gradually form a co-owner federation.

The two of them chatted and walked through the Hedao slum area, and saw a large number of Lin Di women ogling, while Xingren Chun was leading a group of Xin family women to scold and collect taxes.

After all, now that the Lindi tribe has devoured everything it can, Xinqu will naturally not let these women from other tribes who are still selling the food go to waste.

Therefore, they began to suppress some disobedient tribes, and taxation was the simplest and crudest method.

The obedient tribe will be exempted from venue fees, and those who are disobedient will be fined if they find trouble.

This process is what everyone is doing.

Xin Qu shouted, and Xing Renchun turned around and walked over with a smile: "Qu, I heard that Yao Ce is here? Where... eh..."

Of course, he pretended not to see it, looked around, and then showed a hint of surprise: "Oh! It's really you Yao Ce! I haven't seen you for more than ten years! You... have aged a lot."

Yao Ce still snorted arrogantly: "You are the same, you are too old."

"That's right. After all, in order to have Xin's business, you should work hard."

Xingren Chun laughed twice, not caring about his teasing at all, and turned to look at the flags of the Huaxiong clan: "The flag of the clan I haven't seen before, is it from Shanxi? Is there a clan under the Rong clan?"

"Hmph, I'll scare you to death if I tell you. This is one of the Shang Gong clan, a nobleman of the Changshao clan, Zishan."

"Oh... the Changshao clan..." Xingren Chun was stunned for a moment, "Wait a minute, you mean the Changshao clan who was involved in the civil strife at the end of Changshao?"

Xin Qu suddenly noticed that Shaoshan behind him was breathing a little faster. The corner of his eye fell on his expression, and he couldn't help but reveal a bit of amusement.

It seems there is a secret!

"Ahem." Xin Qu coughed, "Didn't I ask Xia to prepare the banquet? If you are free, go and help him."

"Oh, I'm leaving then." Xingrenchun noticed Xin Qu's eyes signaling him to leave, and quickly ran away.

"Only Xingrenchun can show off your face." Yao Ce found that Shu Dagu was staring at him not far away with a gloomy expression, wishing he could eat him.

Yao Ce thought that Xin Qu coughed and asked Xing Xingchun to leave because he was worried about being misunderstood by Shu Dagu.

When Xin Qu heard Shaoshan let out a long sigh of relief, he chuckled: "This generation of young people in the clan either listens to Shi Wu or Bing Jia. Shi Wu is okay, he is married. As long as I don't do anything to make the clan members He will listen a little bit about things.

But Bingjia was single, and his sister was married to the eldest son of the Ze clan, a subordinate of the Su clan.

He just likes to fight with me. "

Xin Qu complained endlessly, and took the opportunity to point out that there were still "rich families" in the clan who had exogamous marriages.

Shao Shan from behind heard that the Youxin family was actually married to the "Yousu family", and his face became slightly solemn.

This is an important relative of the Shang royal family with the surname Zi. As an unknown collateral descendant of the Changshao family, he may not have the energy to overpower his relatives with the Su family.

For a time, Shaoshan retreated.

However, he still endured a little bit, hoping that Yao Ce could persuade Xin Qu.Although Xinqu looks very strong, the more "strong" a person is, the more he conceals his lack of identity.

After all, how could anyone whom we had just met once call him uncle so affectionately?
It's too familiar.

……

After waiting for a while, noon came and the meals were ready.

Everyone sat casually on the animal skins and ate food from the clay pots.

He diligently poured some sour wine for his uncle Yao Ce and chatted about home affairs along the way.

Only then did we understand why he and Ax were the only ones with the surname Yao among the Xin family.

Fifteen years ago, the Youxin clan split due to family disputes over migration and defection.

The vast majority of people with the surname Yao chose to stay in Shanxi because there are a lot of descendants of the Yu family in Shanxi.

Let's put it this way, Shanxi is like a street, and in every three houses, someone with the surname Yao can find a relative.

So why go to Hebei? I'm not familiar with the place.

Therefore, most people with the surname Yao choose to stay in Shanxi.

In the past 15 years, under the leadership of Yao Ce, the Yao surname of the Changxin clan has made great efforts. By absorbing the collateral Yao surname, it has quickly become the second largest surname among the Changxin clan, second only to the Ji surname.

Although Xin Qu was skeptical of his bragging and needed follow-up investigation, he told his uncle all the secrets within the Chang Xin family after casually pouring two glasses of wine.

"Your mother shouldn't have followed your father in the first place. I don't know what kind of herbs your father gave her. It's only been a few years, but I just threw you here and didn't tell you that you still have me as your uncle. Humph, I'm sure That bastard dad didn't tell you.

If so, you might as well ask several tribesmen to send a letter.I wish I could take you back early so that you don't have to suffer here.

Then how old are you, and you still have to pull this kid, and your life will be difficult. "

Yao Ce's tone was sighing, and when he saw the ax, he groaned in displeasure.

This made Ax look confused. Wasn't it because he looked like his father, so he should blow his nose and stare at him when he saw him?
Every time Xin Qu's "father" was mentioned, Yao Ce gritted his teeth, always thinking that he had kidnapped Xin Qu's mother, Yao Ce's sister.

"A-mei, that is, your mother. She has been quiet since she was a child and often gets sick. When she was just born, she was a small little bundle and I had to carry her on my back."

Yao Ce thought again and again, and was very unhappy that Xin Qu kept accusing his sister, who was raised by both his father and mother, that he was abducted like this.

Fortunately, Xinqu was not the same Xinqu as before. He only listened to this accusation as a story and followed Yao Ce to accuse his "father".

Anyway, I haven't met him once, so I have no feelings.

But just after drinking this drink, Xin Qu completely increased Yao Ce's favorability.

Seeing Yao Ce and the others who were extremely drunk, Xinqu asked Ax and Tu to take them to the camp to rest.

Xingren Chun and Shu Dagu were left behind by him.

"Tell me, what happened to the long spoon and the tail spoon you mentioned earlier?"

"Oh, once you mentioned it, I began to suspect that this Shaoshan of the Changshao clan might not be a direct descendant of the Shang clan."

Xingrenchun moved his thighs to make himself more comfortable: "I had a chat with him just now and found that he knew nothing about the technology of making spoons."

Xin Qu heard this and asked doubtfully: "It's so simple and he doesn't understand?"

The pedestrian chuckled: "Ask me, and he will say that he is a noble and does not have to do anything.

But as far as I know, after Xuanniao went south and destroyed the Xiahou clan, they raided the craftsman clans who mastered the preparation skills. A group of people, including our Xin clan, were robbed.

This group of people was eventually divided among the seven sons of the leader of the Shang clan. Each of them mastered a skill, but for some reason only the sixth clan was passed down.

The so-called six Shanggong clans are: Tiao, Xu, Xiao, Suo, Changshao and Weishao.

Legend has it that the Liugong clan, from the clan leader to the direct clan members, all master the most powerful techniques, which is a secret that is not passed down.Therefore, even if you don't prepare the utensils yourself, you still don't understand the most basic skills, which are no longer secrets.
