Those who are separated are afraid and choke with broken teeth. Those who are successful show off their power and fall into a deep sleep.
It doesn't matter only those who are slaves and slaves, life is still one day.
Early in the morning, everyone had the morning meal, which was full of thick corn, cooked several pots, and ate Xuejiajiao's pickles, and had a delicious meal.
When it was over, the animals were fed cud again.
The team was just starting out and lacked everything. However, the main venue and soldiers and armor were complete, and the flag had already ordered Zhang Bingnan and the others to prepare the supplies.
Now, sixty-five people were already standing on the wheat field.
But Zhang Chong was standing on the same wooden platform as yesterday, holding the roster in his hand but feeling worried.
The roster was compiled by Duman yesterday, recording the names of all sixty-five people in the team.
But the names above either have no surname, or the names are too cheap and repetitive.
For example, there are five or six people called Gouzi in the book, and there are countless other people with nicknames, which is not easy to manage at all.
Zhang Chong never expected that the first thing in this military training was to name everyone.
Okay, let’s start with the naming of this tall building.
When Zhang Chong was in trouble, Duman and Zhang Dan were also in trouble.
After they finished eating, they came together with the baggage crew to divide the prisoners.
According to Zhang Chong's instructions last night, these more than 200 people must be divided into three groups.
But who would have thought that we would encounter difficulties right from the beginning.
"Which of you are from the Xue family?"
At first, Zhang Dan stood in front of the prisoners and asked with an indifferent expression.
But the embarrassing thing is that everyone in the audience looked at you and me, but no one said a word.
When I checked it, it was broken.
Last night, we should have taken advantage of the threat of killing and immediately divided the prisoners into camps.
Now after a night of networking, the Xue family disciples here have vaguely taken control of the situation with the help of their past power.
Duman did not dare to delay, so he quickly asked the baggage crew to divide the team into ten groups, and then escorted them to different courtyards.
After that, Duman took Zhang Dan and started asking questions in groups.
They first talked about the different treatment of the Xue family's children, Bu Qu, and Disciple.
It is said that all the land owned by the Xue family's children will be inherited by the tribes.
Then the disciples can go home individually and share food, salt, and millet seeds to take back so that everyone in the settlement can survive this spring.
At first, everyone didn't believe it.
It is not difficult to understand that you would not believe it if the bandit who just killed someone last night suddenly told you that he would now divide the land and provide you with food.
It must be Tian Dayong, now called Tian Jun, this five-inch boy, who comes to speak out.
He held his father's body in his arms last night and stayed up all night. No one knew what he was thinking about all night long.
But when Duman came to the wheat field to divide people, he rushed over and said he could help.
Duman saw that this man's eyes were bloodshot and wanted him to rest.
But now there is only one person who is familiar with the inside story of Xue Jiabi, so we can only let him follow and help.
Tian Jun has also been in Xuejiabi for four or five years, and he basically knows everyone in Xuejiabi. With his help, things made progress quickly.
He first named a descendant of the Xue family.
Then tell everyone that whoever points out the person first will have his land given priority.
Sure enough, this move quickly disintegrated the unity within the prisoner population.
After all, if you don’t point it out but someone else points it out, then if you really want to divide the land, it has nothing to do with you.
Therefore, everyone was hesitant at first, but when they saw that all the Xue family members in this group were about to be identified, they swarmed up and started to expose them.
It's like reporting a Xue family member and you can immediately receive fifty acres of land.
Soon, all the Xue family members mentioned by the prisoners were identified, and finally verified by Tian Jun.
There is no doubt that they were all thrown into a courtyard.
Then he was locked up and the food was delivered by the baggage team.
Then it becomes simple. Without a leader, the prisoners basically just ask questions and say whatever they want.
However, when asked again if they were willing to send food back to their own settlement, they hesitated.
Duman asked several people, but they all just said they didn't want millet.
Ask, what do you want?
Answer, I don’t want anything.
Later, Tian Jun said the reason:
"The prisoners today are not convinced. They are unwilling to ask for food. They are probably worried about attracting wolves into their homes."
Du Man patted his thigh and it made sense.
He has his own way of doing this.
The most urgent task is to first count the number of troops and disciples.
The needs of the two are different. One part is given land, the other part is given food.
After a detailed investigation of the situation in every Dingkou area, they found out that except for the twenty-six descendants of the Xue family who were being held in separate custody.
There are a total of 132 troops and 140 slaves.
Among them, among the forty-six Ding girls, excluding twenty women and children of the Xue family, the remaining twenty-six slaves were homeless.
They were led by Zhang Bingnan's baggage team, who were needed for flag making, clothing and cooking.
Then, Duman separated the management of the two groups, asked Tian Jun to take the villagers he was familiar with, and randomly selected a group of people from the disciples group to serve as Lifu.
Then he distributed a hundred stones of millet, two stones of coarse salt, and millet seeds from the warehouse, transported five carts full, and headed towards the settlement of Tian Jun's family.
This is Duman's "horse bone of a thousand gold coins".
He first sent millet to the Tian family settlement to build a trust among his disciples, and then he broke through one by one and sent it to all the surrounding settlements.
In this way, we can win the support of the disciples who account for half of the number of prisoners. With their support, we can then turn around and allocate fields to the tribesmen.
As for how to divide the food, he had a rough idea. After he divided the food, he would come back and discuss it with Zhang Chong before he could implement it.
Choosing a name or surname is a big deal for people of any era.
Because the last name represents the family and the first name represents the self.
If you have no name or surname, you will become a nameless ghost after death, and you won’t even be able to participate in blood meals and family sacrifices.
But then again, for the poor men in Zhang Chong's team, these are the last things they need to think about.
Because most of them will never have a wife in this life, let alone have offspring.
Because of the unfair calculation of wealth by the imperial court, all poor families drowned their female infants, creating a society with more boys and fewer girls.
And because of the huge gap between the rich and the poor, even if one or two poor people raise their daughters, they will be sold to local powerful men as maids due to great disasters.
Therefore, the rich families have thousands of maidservants, but the poor men in the countryside cannot get one, and the yin and yang are out of balance.
Back in Zhang Chong's team, there were quite a few people without surnames.
Just because they are beggars from hundreds of families, struggling to survive, how can they not talk about family memories.
But now, Zhang Chong wants to give these nameless people a name so that they can continue from generation to generation.
No, Zhang Chong is naming a person named Tu.
He was a member of the Jiyang State Tribute Ship. He was inspecting the water village at Li's house that night and escaped with Duman and others.
He said that he was picked up from a field ravine by a widowed mountain man. He had no surname and was always called Tu.
"Your name is Tu, then I will give you a surname of Huang, and call you Jie. Huang Jie will work well in Chen Huan's team from now on.
Because this country was brought up by mountain people, it knows how to bow and arrow. Although it is not outstanding, it is almost at the stage of mastering the art of bow and arrow.
Therefore, Chen Huan wanted to promote him to be a corps commander and then take him to Zhang Chong to take the exam.
Zhang Chong saw his step shooting skills and was satisfied with him. He not only awarded him the title of Jia Shi Jia Wu Commander on the spot, but also gave him a name.
Zhang Chong held a bamboo slip and wrote on it:
"The corps commander of General Shi's Jia Shi Jia, Huang Jie."
His original name was Tu, but now he was called Huang Jie in Chinese characters. He took the bamboo slip dully, not believing that he could have a name.
He kept chanting the words on the bamboo slips, trying to imprint these two words into his heart.
Everyone looked at him with envy, but they were also full of yearning for his name.
Zhang Chong's rules are as follows.
First, each chief will select the lower-level military officials, and then go to him for assessment. Those who pass the test will be added to the military rolls on the spot.
After that, the corps commander would select people he knew well to form a corps. Those without surnames or names would all be sent to him, and he would give them good names and enter them into the military register.
It was already noon by the time all sixty-five people were named and entered into the military register according to their order.
Zhang Chong asked the baggage team to kill a fat pig, then cook a lot of corn, and let everyone eat together.
Everyone ate the squirting millet and the fat and oily pork, laughing constantly.
But suddenly there was a cry.
Zhang Chong looked over in confusion and saw a young man named Jing from before.
He was also pitiful and was abandoned by a well. An old woman saw him as pitiful and raised him on pig milk.
Then Zhang Chong named him Jin Quan so that he would not forget the kindness of the old lady.
Zhang Chong put down the bowl and asked Jin Quan doubtfully:
"Jinquan, why are you crying?"
Jin Quan wiped away his tears, pushed aside the crowd, and came first to kowtow to Zhang Chong.
Then he stood up again and said gratefully:
"Qu Kui, I think he looks like a human being now. In the past, he was so confused that he didn't know what to do.
It's just that when others tell me to do this, I just follow it, without having any idea at all.
I also know that I was born humble, abandoned by others, and had no family to rely on. My ability to grow up is all due to Eminem's hard work.
When I came here, Amu was already dead. He was beaten to death by the village officials.
They conscripted me to carry a tribute ship to the King of Jibei. My mother-in-law did not agree, saying that after his previous son was conscripted, he could never go back.
Now he wants to take another son away from her unless she dies.
Then Eminem was pushed down by the officer and died on the spot.
I was very angry, but I didn’t know what to do. I could only watch the director of the pavilion dig a hole and bury Eminem.
And I still have to come to pull the boat for King Naji Bei.
After that, I ran away with Mr. Du and others and met Qu Kui.
Seeing your bravery in killing enemies, I feel that if I had this strength, Eminem might not have died.
Later, you told everyone in the forest that you should let us poor people live until we understand.
I also feel that you are the hero of our poor people and the hope given to us by God.
You said that you must be first when facing battle, and you must be last when behind the scenes. You have said and done all these things.
Now, you still give names to us unknown people, so that we have the opportunity to enjoy the incense of our descendants.
I swear, I, Jin Quan, will follow Qu Kui to the death, and charge under your command no matter where I am.
Let more poor people have a name, have grain to eat, land to cultivate, clothing to wear, and a place to live.”
After saying that, Jin Quan burst into tears and kowtowed heavily again. At the same time, everyone bowed to Zhang Chong, knelt down heavily and shouted:
"We will follow Qu Kui to the death, so that everyone will have a name, have grain to eat, have land to cultivate, have clothes to wear, and have a place to live." After saying this, everyone knelt down and worshiped.
But this time, Zhang Chong did not refuse them to kowtow. Instead, like them, he burst into tears and swore:
"I will work hard so that everyone has a name, everyone has grain to eat, everyone has land to cultivate, clothing and housing."
