Chapter 8 Family Discussion after Settlement

"I want to give all outsiders the surname and participate in our sacrifice together." Shang Wu first threw out the general idea and saw everyone's reaction.

When everyone heard Shang Wu's words, their thoughts and expressions were different, some bowed their heads and pondered, some were full of doubts, and there were various expressions such as following the orders of the head of the family, and the doorpost had communicated with Shang Wu in this regard before, but he was the most calm person inside.

"Let's talk about what we think." Shang Wu sees that it is better to let them all speak out if they have ideas, and forcing them to agree can only be counterproductive.

"I don't agree, what are they, they are outsiders, it is already a great blessing to eat us and use us, so wouldn't it be the same as our people." Stone was the most uncomposed, and was the first to speak.

"I don't have an opinion, but this still needs the consent of the family elders and the clansmen, otherwise there will be more people with opinions." Xiao Yu said his opinion.

"That's not good, after all, we are from the same bloodline, how can they be outsiders mixed together, isn't it indistinguishable from inside and outside." Big Ass said.

“.......”

“......”

“......”

Everyone talked about their own opinions and opinions, and in addition to the opinions that they did not agree with, those who disagreed and those who disagreed with each other accounted for half of them.

"Let's talk about what I've been thinking about this time." Shang Wu took a sip of tea and said.

"These outsiders, most of them are beneficial to our merchants, they eat us, wear ours, and use us, but they also have to work, so what is the difference between them and our people, there are people who are unbalanced, and the things in the clan are all from the clan, so they should not be used, but everyone has thought that there is no business for us to gain a foothold outside to develop a strong foothold, what is needed is a variety of talents, how did this migration come over, go out to hunt stones, when your second brother was chased by leopards, was he chased by outsiders for a long time." Shang Wu said and looked at the stone.

The stone's head, which was still very reasonable, was lowered just now.

"Big ass, the clothes on your body are also sewn by an outsider for you." Shang Wu said and looked at the big ass, and the big ass lowered his head in embarrassment.

"I know it's impossible for everyone to treat them as their own people, but if you think about it, if the Zhou thief Rong Di is killed now, it will be better for us to have more people or fewer people. What we want now is to increase the population as soon as possible, to give birth to your daughter-in-law's belly, how many can you give birth in a year, and how will we deal with several major enemy attacks or animal attacks. Only with them will our life be better, Xiaoyu has a pretending family called Gray Rabbit, more powerful than our old Zhuang family, can grow a lot of food in a year, if this family is not his, what do we use to keep capable people like them, rely on ourselves, maybe we will starve to death. The more Shang Wu spoke, the louder he became.

"Let's think about how to persuade the clan elders and the clansmen to accept the matter of giving surnames, you are all principals and deacons, and it is far better to have a good person in your hands than to be spurned by the clansmen if you are tired and can't do things." Shang Wu stood in their position and talked to them about the relationship.

After a quarter of an hour of silence, the crowd fell into deep thought.

"The head of the family thinks very well, but I am stupid, but fortunately the head of the family woke up."

"The head of the family is right, who is not easy, I called him until he agreed."

"The head of the family is wise, so I don't have to think about it, everything the head of the family says is right."

“......”

“.......”

“.......”

There was a burst of recognition, most of them expressed their support for Shang Wu's idea, and a few people were lingering, but the people around them all spoke out in support of the agreement, and they had to echo it.

Shang Wu was very satisfied with everyone's performance, Shang Wu said this to them, just to let them talk about this matter with the clan and the clan elders, and let them persuade the clan and the clan elders, so that when the clan elders discussed with the clan elders later, the clan elders' opposition would not be so strong, and when this matter was announced, the clansmen would not have great resistance.

"Next, you have to think about how to go back and persuade your clan elders and let your brothers and sisters not resist. I will convene the elders tomorrow to discuss the matter, and the matter will be settled at that time. Shang Wu explained, and also said that he was going to hold a clan elders' meeting.

"Of course, giving them merchant surnames will not let them enter the family tree, and they are not really the descendants of merchants in the ancestral hall and genealogy. When the time comes, a merchant's household registration office will be set up to manage the household registration of all clansmen and these people who have given their surnames, and the father-son relationship of people will be recorded in order like a family tree, and they are not allowed to be called outsiders in the future, they are also our merchants, and they are called according to the merchants, and they must not be too clear, otherwise I know that you principals and deacons are treated differently, and I will not spare you. Shang Wu spoke his thoughts and warned these principals and deacons not to be treated differently.

"There is another thing I want to announce, I decided to name this place Dayi Shang, Dayi Shang is taken from our Shang Dynasty people's name for the core hinterland of the Shang Dynasty, that place is rich in food and clothing, all kinds of goods are full of prosperity, and the people live happily, so I took this name." Shang Wu watched as everyone announced that their new home would be named Dayi Shang.

"Dayi merchants."

"Dayi merchants."

"Dayi merchants."

The announcement of Shang Wu ushered in everyone's cheers, and everyone listened to the origin of the name of the head of the family, and suddenly felt that this name was very powerful, and no one thought about it.

"There are two meanings of naming Dayi Shang: first, I want us to build this prosperity and wealth, so that our people can live happily, and second, let our descendants not forget the hatred of the country and the family, and must not be greedy for comfort, the Zhou thieves also came to this ancient domain, in case the Zhou thieves find out that our place must be a vicious battle, so that future generations must not slack off." Shang Wu continued to talk about the intention of choosing a name.

"Next, I have something important to announce: Stone I want you to select people who are strong in martial arts, specializing in training in archery and horsemanship, these people don't have to do other things, at most they are on guard duty and go out to explore and guard, these people they call soldiers, and they need to practice every day to specialize in these things." Shang Wu looked at the stone and said.

"Stone takes orders, and Shi still remembers that the master of the family asked Shi to train archers, and Shi dare not forget it." Stone said respectfully.

"Very good, there is another thing that there is still a lot of shortage of businessmen in Dayi now, I want you to hurry up and make all the required shelter and utensils that are missing, and make a list of some things that lack materials and cannot be made, and buy them when you go out." Shang Wu looked at the doorpost and explained.

"The doorposts must be arranged, so that the head of the house should not bother." The doorpost replied respectfully.
