Chapter 523: The Origin of the Surname
"Heighten your guard! If you find all suspicious targets approaching, you will be waiting with your bow and crossbow! The pharmacist ignored Le Ge and said to the guards who came over.
"Doctor, you?" One of the guards asked.
"I'll go to the town with Le Ge Gongzi, you go back quickly! Prevent them from turning the tiger away from the mountain! ”
"What about you?" The guard asked worriedly, "What if they set up another ambush in the middle of the road?" ”
"Don't be afraid!" The pharmacist said affirmatively, "Their target is not me, nor Lege, but!" Le Princess! Got it? ”
"Yes!" Only then did the guard come to his senses, agreed, and quickly retreated.
"Let's go!" The pharmacist waved his horsewhip and said to Le Ge.
"This?" What does Lege want to say? It can be seen that the pharmacist looks like a leader, and it is difficult to say.
That being the case! Let's go to the town first!
"Whoever he is? We're all going to town! Consult with the town and ask them to send soldiers to investigate. Whoever he is? What a purpose! Catch him first! This is no joke! If he knows your identity, Princess Naraku's hermitage will be exposed! ”
Listening to what the pharmacist said, Le Ge felt the same.
Oh, yes! I am now the son of Zhou Tianzi and the prince, and the matter has spread within a certain range. So! People who know my identity know that I came to Yan Kingdom, and they still don't guess that I came to see my mother?
The fight just now, Wei'er can see it clearly. But this man, who had never seen a fight, was not afraid at all. Opposite! She is still very interested, just as interested in practicing Tai Chi as she was when she first practiced Tai Chi.
But! Her abnormal performance was not discovered by the pharmacist and Lege. Le Ge sat in front, naturally he couldn't see the expression on Wei'er's face. The pharmacist was dealing with things, and he didn't have time to take care of the changes in Wei'er.
At that time, Wei'er didn't seem to be at the scene and was ignored by everyone.
There were no more ambushes along the way, but! but there was blood. This bloodstain was across the road, and it can be judged that it was left by Uncle Lei.
Most likely: Uncle Lei was wounded by an arrow.
To know! The guards sent to protect Princess Le are all masters of the masters. Several of their arrows were fired towards Uncle Lei's back almost at the same time, and it was possible that Uncle Lei was injured.
When he arrived in the market town, the pharmacist took Lege directly to the town.
Zhenyi! That is, the market town, which is equivalent to the bazaar of modern society. The town is the smallest administrative unit and is responsible for managing the village of the villagers who come to the market. Below the town, there is a village.
So! There is a garrison here in the town.
In fact! It is the family soldier of the mayor of the town.
Depending on how much fief you have, how much you manage, and how much population you have, you can decide how many troops you have in your family.
And also! If you have that ability, you can also raise more troops.
You have few fiefs and few villages to manage, but if you're a merchant or have some other source of income, you can raise more troops.
Other words! If you have that ability, you can raise more troops.
There are regulations on the weekly system, and it is not allowed to exceed the prescribed number of troops. But since the princes fought for hegemony, everything has changed. The weekly system exists in name only, and not many people abide by it.
"It turned out to be Le Ge Gongzi! Le Ge Gongzi please! Please! ”
Knowing that Lege was coming, Zhenyi personally came out to greet him.
"Hello! Hello! Lege didn't know what to call it, so he had to say hello.
"According to seniority, you are an elder! There are no generations here! Everyone admires Princess Le! You're welcome! Walk! The pharmacist beckoned from the side.
"Zhenyi should also be surnamed Le, right?" Lege asked suspiciously.
"Nope! We don't have the surname Le! Jin-e-up replied as he walked.
"Don't have the surname Le?"
"Although we are descended from the same ancestor, didn't we give our surnames later? We have a surname! Princess Le is also a child surname! ”
"Sub-surname! It is the name of the Son! For example! Your name is Lege, then! If your father gives you a surname, you may have the surname Le from now on, and you will have Le as your surname. For example, if your name is Hu Zhuang, then! If your father gives you a surname, you may have the surname Tiger from now on, and take Tiger as your surname. ……”
"Oh?" Only then did Le Ge understand: why a generation of kings will have many more surnames. Originally! That's how the last name came about!
"Why do you want to give a surname?" Zhenyi explained as he walked: "The main thing is to keep the fertilizer and water from flowing into the fields of outsiders!" ”
"What do you mean?" Lege asked puzzled.
"If you don't give a surname? As long as the king's surname is passed down, it will not be convenient for the clansmen to marry in the future! ”
"Marriage? What do you mean? ”
This is mainly due to the inheritance law of the Zhou system, that is, the inheritance system. In order to inherit the title and property, the title and property are not kept in the foreign surname and remain in their own family forever, and the phenomenon of close relatives will appear.
Isn't it? In order to avoid this phenomenon, it is necessary to give a surname! Although the surname has changed, it is still passed down from an ancestor?
Let's put it this way! Brothers and sisters can't get married, otherwise they will give birth to foolish offspring. Blood is too close to become biological children, isn't it? So! With the distinction of surnames, it is known that there are already several generations apart. As long as there is a certain number of generations apart, you can get married!
Your surname is Le, my surname is Tiger! His surname is Tree! And his surname is Dao, isn't it? It was originally a family. After having a family name, after a few generations, you can marry each other. Such! Is the property and title still passed down from family to family? ……”
Under Zhenyi's interpretation, Lege completely understood.
Zhenyi and Princess Le are the family, just! How many generations have passed. Princess Le is a big nobleman, Zhenyi is a small noble, and Zhenyi is a nobleman who is in charge of Le Gong. Except for the small nobles, the lands belong to Princess Le.
So to speak! Isn't the town a local leader? Isn't it by collecting taxes? Isn't the national tax and the local tax collected together? Isn't it necessary to pay the king after collecting the taxes? So! Before handing over to the king, it has to go through the hands of Princess Le, a great nobleman.
And what about Princess Le! You can withdraw your share of these taxes. and the rest shall be delivered to the king.
Princess Le is a woman and has no right to inherit the title, but she also has the reward of her father. Can't be an official (inherit a title), and can't get a reward? Isn't it?
Princess Le naturally does not manage the fiefdom, everything is managed by Le Ge's own uncle.
This Uncle Le is not Lege's uncle, but his family. Because he worships Princess Le and has a good relationship with Princess Le, he follows Princess Le. And also! His family did not inherit the title, and his status was low, and following Princess Le was also a way of survival.
Do you have to have a career in order to live? So! He followed Princess Le.
If you don't have a relationship with Princess Le, although you are a nobleman, if you don't have a fief or land, you will have no source of income, and you will have to find another job. If you don't mess with others, you will have to rent the land of other nobles, or engage in other businesses. You have to do things to survive.
