Chapter 118

Of course, Sui Xiong knew about Leon's injury. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

You know, Leon was wounded in his temple. As a god, if you don't even know what's going on in your temple, you might as well buy a piece of tofu and crash to death!

Sui Xiong was very unhappy, but he didn't mean to take action to clean up the Red Moon King in person.

One is that Leon is not seriously injured, and the other is that this thing is ...... Leon really can't be reasonable.

I ran to spy on others, and I was injured by others, what is there to complain about?

Of course, if Leon is seriously injured, then Sui Xiong will be unreasonable. But after all, he was not seriously injured, and in this case, Brother Xiong was still willing to be reasonable.

Anyway, the strength of the Akatsuki King is like this, Leon will surpass him sooner or later, and it is reasonable to let Leon go to him to settle the grudge by himself.

In contrast, Sui Xiong is now more concerned about another matter.

"Names?" he looked at the report and asked with some confusion, "Are there still many people in our Northwest Republic who don't have names?"

The report, which was submitted by Renard, recommended an operation to "improve the name" in the North-West Republic.

At first glance, Sui Xiong was stunned - why do you want to improve the name? Could it be that there are still many unnamed ones in the Northwest Republic? Or are there many strange names?

Looking closely, he finally understood what Renard meant.

In this world, civilians have no surname, only a first name. Because of their lack of culture, their names are generally uncharacteristic, and they are only a few common words, or words about their identity. This leads to a very high degree of duplication of names.

Renard counted that among the permanent residents of Void City alone, there are 6,296 people named "Spring", 5,261 people named "Joe", and 5,250 people named "Jack...... These are the three most common names in Void City.

There are many similar names that are seriously repeated, and in total, there are 424,500 permanent residents in Void City, and only 1,109 people have names that have not been repeated at all.

After deducting these names, the rest have more or less duplicate names, adding up to a total of four thousand nine hundred and ninety-one, not even five thousand names. If you deduct the less repetitive ones, you will end up with 582 highly repetitive names, which are used by nearly 300,000 people.

300,000 people, less than 600 names, on average, about 500 people use a name. In particular, some common names, walking on the street and shouting, you can see many people turning around.

It wasn't a big deal, but Renard felt uncomfortable.

The reason is simple, the ninth place of the heavily repeated name is "Renard". There were four thousand and six people with this name.

Renard didn't care, or rather, he didn't notice the problem. Not long ago, he presided over the work of reorganizing the army, and in the process of reorganizing the army, he checked the rosters of the whole army with great interest, and was very embarrassed to find that there was often two or three on the left and one Renard on the right in the army.

In the army of the entire Northwest Republic, there are more than 100 people named "Renard".

This is really a dog, you must know that there are not many troops in the Northwest Republic, and there are only more than 3,000 people on the roster!

Renard was so scorched by this incident that he naturally wanted to solve the problem. But he can't let so many people change their names, and after thinking about it, he can only propose to promote the "perfect name" movement and let people take their own surnames.

The first name can be repeated, but the surname is generally not.

After all, now the people of the Northwest Republic are considered to have a certain culture, and when they choose their surnames, they will definitely not be like their fathers, how to call them how to call them.

This proposal also has the added benefit of greatly increasing people's self-confidence and pride.

In this world, "surname" has always been the prerogative of the aristocracy, and even those wealthy businessmen do not have a surname. If the civilians of the Northwest Republic could have a surname, then at least in terms of feeling, it would be superior.

Moreover, it can also highlight the culture, highlight the special nature of the Northwest Republic, and even attract many talents who are eager to continue their families.

In general, this approach has many benefits in addition to slightly increasing administrative costs, and it is indeed beneficial but only harmful, and it is completely worth doing.

Of course, that's what Renard said.

After Sui Xiong saw it, he didn't think about objecting, but he remembered another thing.

I remember when I was in school, Professor Cheng talked about ancient times, and talked about the two things of "Chinese people taking surnames" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China and "popularizing surnames" during the Meiji Restoration in Japan.

These two things differ by nearly two millennia, but there is striking consistency. When choosing a surname for themselves, commoners who do not have a surname often choose a variety of surnames for themselves and their children and grandchildren based on their home address, work, identity, and even some good wishes.

However, with the passage of time, many of the commoners who took their surnames in ancient China were not able to pass on their surnames, so that until now, the common surnames in China are still those of the ancient aristocracy - Professor Cheng once said half-jokingly and half-embarrassed that in contemporary China, the streets are full of princes and generals or the descendants of landlords and wealthy merchants, and there are very few who are really poor from the first ancestors with surnames.

In fact, not to mention China, even if the surname movement is now, Japan, which has not been in 200 years, has gradually become prominent. This is still in the modern world, where it is relatively easy for the poor to continue their children.

If the Northwest Republic promotes the surname movement this time, there will surely be many, many strange surnames. It's just that after hundreds of years and thousands of years, how many of these surnames will be passed on?

Thinking of this, Sui Xiong couldn't help but sigh.

After sighing, he put the proposal to a high-level meeting for discussion.

Although with his prestige, it is completely possible to decide in a word, but he thinks that it is better to discuss it.

As a result, during the discussion, everyone really put forward a lot of opinions.

"It's good to have a surname, but you have to limit it and don't take some very awkward surnames. ”

"yes, you can't have the surname 'dog dung', 'cat ears' or anything like that, that's weird!"

"Dog feces is just that, what's so strange about the cat's ears?"

“...... Well, I'm just going to say it casually......"

"The surname 'Void' is not good, it is easy to be misunderstood. ”

"That's right, this is not allowed to have a surname, otherwise in a few hundred years, maybe future generations will still think that it is our Majesty's gods......"

“...... I'm a jellyfish, where are there so many gods!"

"Your Majesty, this matter must be guarded against!"

After some discussion, a number of supplementary and improved opinions were put forward, and finally the matter was successfully passed.

A few days later, the North-West Republic civilian surname movement officially began. (To be continued.) )
