Yang Ying's words made Qingji a little embarrassed.

According to the tradition of not marrying the same surname, Qingji should not marry a few women with the Ji surname.

However, although they are of the same surname Ji, the blood relationship between Qingji and the concubines of the Ji surname has become weak. After the "five wards", how can they not be married?

Compared to those who are married to a cousin, Qingji is a normal marriage.

A man is called a clan and a woman is called a surname.

This is a question from Mu Yong, and Da Wu has also passed on it.

For example, Qingji is generally called "Wu Qingji". If you call him "Ji Qingji", it is not polite and is truly an insult to others.

The surname has an important role in "family marriage", such as the wife of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period "Qi Boji".

"Qi" means that she married into Qi State or married to a Qi man, "Bo" means that she is the eldest among her sisters, and "Ji" means that her mother's family is surnamed Ji...

At this time, Zeng Shen, the Minister of Revenue, also followed the list and spoke to Qingji: "Your Majesty, the surname is the one who is in charge of the ancestors, and the one who is in charge of the descendants will distinguish themselves from their descendants."

"A clan can change once it is passed down, and the clan has not changed for thousands of years. A clan is a clan, and a clan is a clan, so you must not confuse it!"

What Zeng Shen said is not without reason.

The surname originated earlier and was almost stable and unchanged; while the surname was later and would change according to various reasons.

The changes in the clan often reflect the changes in the status of noble men, such as the Jin State's Grand Duke Association in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, which he also called Shiji, Suihui, Fan Hui, Suiwuzi, Fan Wuzi, etc.

The "Shi" who represented the ancestral duties and his fiefs, "Sui" and "Fan", were both his clans...

It's too complicated.

In fact, Qingji, as a time traveler, knew that the combination of surnames and clans into one was the general trend and did not require him to push it.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the "rituals collapsed and music broke out", and wars continued frequently, and the patriarchal system gradually collapsed.

Historically, by the Warring States Period, the surname system had become very chaotic, and most of the "classics" were changed to "subjects". The status of civilians gradually increased, and there were surnames. "People" began to become the common name for the people.

The Qin Dynasty completed unification and changed the feudal system that had been passed down for thousands of years into a county system. The original patriarchal system and surname system completely lost their social foundation.

The "class" that clearly defines the noble and humble family, and the "subject" of different marriages, are no longer essentially different, and have become symbols that represent clans and blood ties.

By the Western Han Dynasty, the surnames and clans were completely integrated.

From then on, the Chinese surnames began to be passed down from generation to generation.

Now the Dawu local system is also implemented, but the empire has many vassal states, such as the Liao King Wu Zhang, which can also be called "Liao Zhang", and Ning King Wu Hong, which can also be called "Ning Hong".

For example, those heroes who were granted a fief by Qingji could no longer separate the "classic" from each other, so the collapse of the "classic" will not take long.

However, until now, "Clan" is still a symbol of nobles. How could they let it be combined with the surname?

"His Majesty."

Yang Ying thought for a while and said to Qing Ji: "It will take a moment to combine the surnames into one."

"But, my daughter believes that whether it is a noble or a civilian, they are His Majesty's people, and His Majesty's people, you should treat everyone equally!"

"Since ancient times, the nobles have clans, and the lowly have clans, but the nobles have clans."

"A civilians don't even have a surname, only a name. Is this appropriate? Not suitable."

"Especially after my Dawu implemented compulsory education, a large number of civilian children were admitted to the school. Where did you start with the husband's name?"

"Therefore, the young lady asks His Majesty to give the people of the world a grace so that the common people can also have their own surnames."

“…”

After all, Yang Ying still wants Qingji to change the surname system.

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

People without names are uniformly called by their professional titles, such as Ku Ding, Jianshi, Yihe, Youmeng...

“Accepted.”

Qingji finally agreed with Yang Ying's proposal.

"Zeng Shen, Li Ke."

"I'm here!"

"You two are responsible for compiling a "Hundred Family Surnames" to list the 'one hundred surnames' of our Great Wu, and enter them by those with many surnames, so that civilians who do not have a surname can choose as their surname."

Qingji paused for a moment, as if he had remembered something, and said, "In addition, the surname Wu is the largest and the surname Ji is the second largest. You can do the rest. After the book is completed, you can hand it over to me to review as soon as possible."

"promise!"

Zeng Shen and Li Ke agreed.

Now in the world, there are the most people with the surname Ji. Even Qingji has the surname Ji, so you can imagine how many people with the surname Ji are.

However, in order to increase the influence of the Wu family, Qingji must make the Wu surname the largest surname among the hundreds of surnames.

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

In this way, the Wu surname will become the well-deserved largest surname!

...

The next day, Qingji, accompanied by the prince Heng, Wu Ji, Wu Ming, Sun Di, Lu Ban and other civil officials and generals, came to the Qinhuai River camp for inspection.

Review the three armies!

The most popular among these is Dawu’s new weapon-

Muskets and cannons!

Driven by Qingji, the technology of Dawu's steel smelting has become mature, which can be regarded as the peak level of the cold weapon era.

Qingji graduated from a military academy in his previous life. Although he did not know how to make weapons, he still knew a little about the manufacturing drawings of some guns and cannons.

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

Two years ago, Dawu gave birth to the first musket and the first cannon.

"preparation!"

With the order of a commander in the lead, the gunner standing by the cannon immediately took action, filled in gunpowder and igniting materials, then loaded the shell into the muzzle, and finally aimed at the target opposite and ignited the lead.

"fire!"

With the wave of the flag, twenty artillery guns spit out flames. As the smoke filled the air, the shells flew out and hit the target four or five hundred meters away.

"Boom!"

One loud noise after another was deafening.

The shells were very powerful and one big pit after another was blown up on the ground.

"good!"

"color!"

After seeing the power of the cannon, the ministers around Qingji were amazed and cheered.

"With such a powerful cannon, why worry about what kind of enemy cannot be eliminated?"

"No matter how strong the city wall is, no matter how brave others are, it will probably turn into powder under the bombardment of several artillery!"

Qingji is not so optimistic.
