Yang Ying's words were a little embarrassing.

According to the tradition of not marrying with the same surname, Qingji really shouldn't marry a few women surnamed Ji.

However, although they are both surnamed Ji, the blood relationship between Qingji and those concubines surnamed Ji has been weakened, and there are "five suits", how can they not marry?

Compared with the kind of cousin who marries his cousin, Qingji is considered a normal marriage.

Men are called by their first name, and women are called by their last name.

There is no doubt about this, and Da Wu has also passed it down.

For example, Qingji, generally called "Wu Qingji", and calling him "Ji Qingji" is not polite, and it is really insulting.

The surname has an important role of "other marriage", such as the lady of Qi Guo in the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Qi" means that she married to the country of Qi or married a man of the Qi family, "Bo" means that she is the eldest among her sisters, and "Ji" means that her maiden family is surnamed Ji......

At this time, Zeng Shen, the head of the household department, also followed and said to Qingji: "Your Majesty, those with surnames will be divided by their ancestors, and those who are from their ancestors will be divided."

"A family name can change once it is passed down, and a surname does not change for thousands of years. A surname is a surname, a surname is a surname, and it must not be confused!"

What Zeng Shen said is not unreasonable.

The surname originated earlier and is almost stable; The clan is a later and can change for a variety of reasons.

The changes in the clan often reflect the changes in the status of aristocratic men, such as the Jin State Dafu Shihui in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, he is also known as Shiji, Suihui, Fan Hui, Suiwuzi, Fan Wuzi, etc.

The "shi" representing the official position of his ancestors and the names of his fiefdoms "Sui" and "Fan" are all his clans......

It's too complicated.

In fact, as a traverser, Qing Ji knows that the combination of surname and surname is the trend of the times, and he does not need to promote it.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the patriarchal system gradually collapsed.

Historically, by the time of the Warring States Period, the surname system had become very chaotic, and most of the "clans" had changed to "surnames", and the status of commoners gradually rose, and they also had surnames, and "common people" began to become the common name of the people.

The Qin Dynasty completed the unification and changed the feudal system that had been followed for thousands of years to the county system, and the original patriarchal system and surname system completely lost its social foundation.

There is no longer a difference in essence between the "clan" of the noble and the lowly and the "surname" of other marriages, and they have all become symbols that indicate clan and blood.

By the time of the Western Han Dynasty, the surname and surname were completely integrated.

Since then, the Chinese surname has begun to be passed down steadily from generation to generation.

Now the county system is also practiced in Dawu itself, but there are many vassal kingdoms in the empire, such as Wu Zhang, the king of Liao, which can also be called "Liao Zhang", and Wu Hong, the king of Ning, can also be called "Ning Hong".

For example, those heroes who were given food by Qingji, they can't distinguish the "clan", so the collapse of the "clan" will not take long.

However, until now, the "clan" was still a symbol of the nobility, how could they have merged it with the surname?

"Your Majesty."

Yang Ying thought for a while, and then said to Qingji, "It's a matter of time before the surnames become one."

"It's just that the courtiers think that whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, they are all the people of Your Majesty, the people of Great Wu, and Your Majesty should treat them equally!"

"Since ancient times, the noble have a clan, and the cheap have a name without a clan."

"Is it appropriate for a commoner not to even have a surname, only a first name? It's not suitable."

"Especially after the implementation of compulsory education in my Great Wu, a large number of civilian children have been enrolled, where to start with the name of the husband?"

"Therefore, the people ask Your Majesty to give a grace to all the people of the world, so that the common people can also have their own surnames."

「……」

In the final analysis, Yang Ying still wants Qingji to change the surname system.

From ancient times to the present, the hierarchy is strict, and surnames and surnames are titles that only nobles have the right to use.

Civilians who do not have names are uniformly addressed by their professions, such as Ku Ding, Jiang Shi, Yi He, and You Meng......

"Quasi-play."

Qingji finally agreed to Yang Ying's proposition.

"Zeng Shen, Li Ke."

"The minister is here!"

"The two of you are responsible for compiling a "Hundred Family Surnames", listing the "100 surnames" of my Da Wu, and entering them with a large number of surnames, so that civilians who do not yet have surnames can choose them as their own surnames."

Qingji paused for a moment, as if he remembered something, and said, "In addition, it is stipulated that the surname Wu is the first surname, and the surname Ji is the second surname, and you can look at the rest, and after the book is completed, it will be handed over to me for review as soon as possible."

"No!"

Zeng Shen and Li Ke agreed.

Now in the world, there are the most people with the surname Ji, and even Qingji is surnamed Ji, so you can imagine how many people have the surname Ji.

However, in order to increase the influence of the Wu family, Qingji must make the surname Wu the number one surname among the hundred surnames.

The surname Wu is a national surname, and civilians will definitely give priority to it when choosing a surname.

In this way, the surname Wu will become a well-deserved number one surname!

……

The next day, Qingji, accompanied by Prince Heng, Wu Ji, Wu Ming, Sun Di, Lu Ban and other military generals, came to the Qinhuai River camp to inspect.

Review the three armies!

Among them, the most eye-catching is Da Wu's new weapon-

Guns and artillery!

Under the impetus of Qingji, Dawu's steel-making technology has become mature, which can be called the peak level of the cold weapon era.

In his previous life, Qingji was a graduate of the military academy, and although he didn't know how to make weapons, he still knew a little about the manufacturing drawings of some guns.

With a relatively mature steelmaking technology, Qingji had already asked Lu Ban and other craftsmen to start developing firecrackers and artillery many years ago, and made great progress.

Two years ago, Dawu gave birth to the first firecracker, the first artillery.

"Ready!"

With the order of one of the captains, the gunners standing next to the guns immediately took action, filled with gunpowder and combustibles, and then loaded the shells into the muzzle, and finally aimed at the opposite target and ignited the lead.

"Fire!"

As soon as the command flag waved, a full 20 artillery pieces spat out tongues of fire, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the shells flew out and hit the target at a distance of four or five hundred meters.

"Boom!"

One loud bang after another, deafening.

The power of the shells was so great that they blew up one big crater after another in the ground.

"Good!"

"Asai!"

After seeing the power of the artillery, the ministers around Qingji were all amazed and applauded.

"With such a powerful cannon, why worry about what kind of enemy can't be destroyed?"

"No matter how strong the walls are, no matter how brave others are, under the bombardment of several artillery shells, I am afraid they will turn into powder!"

Qingji is not so optimistic.

The first batch of artillery developed by Dawu is probably equivalent to the "red-coated cannon" of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it actually has certain limitations......
