History books can't be written too thickly, so not everyone is qualified to leave their names to be evaluated by future generations.

Simon Leopard's evaluation after considering the death stems from the fact that he has at least a surname and a name.

At this point, Shu Prisoner is better than most people of the era, which he doesn't know yet, because he at least has a surname.

Two days later, the Wei army besieging Handan began to shrink, and the prisoner Mi and a group of people rushed to Handan first.

On the way, several soldiers in the company asked: "Company commander, I heard from the Xuanyi Department a few days ago that it seems that we will all have surnames in the future?" What is this surname for? ”

Looking at the Handan city wall not far away, Shu Prisoner pondered the things he studied in Si, and replied: "It seems that it is just for the same surname not to marry, right?" I remember hearing people say that it is easy to give birth to children who cannot support relatives when they marry. It's the content of the 'jar, big jar, small jar, intersection and crossing' or something, and it means about the same anyway. ”

The soldier pondered for a moment, remembering that he had indeed heard such explanations of why parents and children were similar.

But he still couldn't understand: "But company commander, your surname is Shu, and I heard that the surname is your family, so if your uncle or uncle or a relative who is further away catches the surname one, two, or three when the time comes, can you get married with them?" ”

Since the common people have to have a surname, then they naturally have to draw lots, otherwise hundreds of thousands of villages and communities in the world, according to the rules of aristocratic fiefdoms, I am afraid that they will not have to make hundreds of thousands of surnames, where are there so many words.

This casual sentence of Takayanagi commoners is actually a variant of a well-known debate in the early years of the Warring States period: white horses are not horses, and they are their own self.

If Fifty-Four had been twenty years ago, it would have been easy to fall into self-doubt: when I claim to be talking to you, and you call yourself me, do you mean that I am you and you are me? Who am I? Who is me? I am arguing fifty-four, so if someone else is calling for fifty-four, who is arguing fifty-four?

On the contrary, it is easier for Shu Prisoner, who is not very in-depth to ponder the dialectic, to jump out of this circle, and casually follow the Mo family's explanation of "horns and hooves are cattle with petals, even if others call it Mana is also a cow", he said: "The meaning of Sishang is that since everyone is equal under the Emperor of Heaven, then there is no need to have a surname that is expensive but no surname is cheap." If you want equality, you need to start from the outside, and then finally solve those essential problems. ”

"I've heard that it seems to be based on the existing characters and surnames, and the atlas is made, and those who don't have a surname choose one by themselves. It is not allowed to make things. ”

This is news from Si not long ago, and it is not a decision of the internal meeting of the Mo family, it was put forward by someone when the people of Si Shang discussed the new law, and it immediately caused a huge response.

Shu Prisoner is not too clear about the specific surname, after all, he also heard people talk about it during the study meeting, as if to prevent the use of strange names such as "Fangmae", "Wuliu", "Jingguchi", etc., and also to prevent the use of occupations such as "scorn" and "blacksmith".

Shu prisoner Mi still does not know the cruelty of history, there is no such a surname as his family in the original history, and the commoners who are similar to his family without surnames have basically been deprived of male genetic rights in thousands of years of competition: most of the participants in every drastic social change are actually making the descendants of their ancestors, and the descendants of the side branches of the nobility will always be easier to leave offspring than those real commoners.

He also didn't know that a family like his would basically not be able to leave a male bloodline after a thousand years, and it would have died in the long river of history.

The history and tradition of this moment are not consistent with the history and tradition of that time, and tradition is only meaningful at this moment.

He already has a surname himself, and he inevitably has some objections to the comprehensive selection of surnames: I think this is not a mistake of valuing the external and not the essence? As long as we uphold the righteousness that everyone is equal to the upper class in the world, what difference does it make if there is a surname or not? This is too much emphasis on name and more than substance.

However, he has a surname after all, and these complaints and objections are not easy to bring up in the study meeting, and it is better to mention them if there is no surname and no name.

The inquiring soldier was happy in his heart, and asked, "I heard that although the surname is chosen by lot, the character of the surname is not quite the same as the surname of the original noble?" ”

Shu Prisoner laughed and said: "Stupid, the words we write are different from those written by the nobles." The same simple willow character, the willow on Si, is the willow of the willow tree; Most of the noble willows in the world are descendants of Hui Liushita, and they are the willows of the land of Liuxia. Anyway, it's just a name, what you catch by drawing lots is what it is, just like you are called Ergou now, you are called Ergou, you are called Liu Ergou, isn't it all you. ”

The soldier hurriedly said, "That's different. If I have a son in the future, that son will also be surnamed Liu. I guess that the main reason is that when I am afraid of burning paper money after death, there will be more people in the world called Ergou, but when my son sacrifices me to Liu Ergou, it will not be easy to be wrong. Otherwise, it would not be good if it was burned to the second dog of the fourth company and the second dog of the sixth company. ”

The partners behind all laughed, and Shu Prisoner also laughed: "Okay, you can't be wrong." The heavenly ghosts will recognize you and deliver the sacrifice prepared by your son to you, just like the messenger in our army. That's fine, when the time comes, everyone will have a surname, won't they all become nobles? When the time comes, it depends on the essence, some nobles are still silverfish, and some nobles just want to work to get rich. ”

As soon as this is said, everyone can't help but think of the daily work of the post messenger in the army: the army is full of the same name, especially the people who serve on behalf of the country are mostly names related to cattle and horses, and the things that are mailed, money, etc., must be carefully distinguished from that village and that township.

The laughter of the crowd was heard by the few ink men who followed them to escort into the city, and looking at the cheerful atmosphere of the soldiers, they all put away their usual serious faces and laughed with everyone.

This time, Ximen Leopard's withdrawal is basically a foregone conclusion, and the dispute between Wei and Zhao can basically be resolved through the army meeting hosted by the Mo family, and the mood of these people is also relaxed.

Now in order to express sincerity, the Ximen Leopard Department of the Wei army is also to shrink the strength from the siege state to the defensive posture, and make way of a gap, these people enter the city first to make the people feel at ease, and the second is to convey some orders.

Talking and laughing, almost to the city wall, it is obvious that the defense style of the Mo family in Sishang, several ink men first used ropes to hang on the city wall to confirm that it was correct, a small side door opened, and a group of people rode into the city.

After entering the city, the prisoners found that Handan City was a bit besieged, but it was still very early before the oil ran out, and the people's lives were in good order, and there was no panic.

That is, a large number of toilets close to the city wall and the way men and women march on the left and women can see that this is indeed a city defended by the Mo family, with a strong style of Mo family city guarding, at a glance, there is no other name.

At the beginning, when the prisoner Mi and others went to pick up Suo Lu Shen and returned, he had contact with Suo Lu Shen, but he didn't know what the evaluation of Handan gave by Su Lu Shen when he talked to those rebels after Suo Lu Shen came to Handan.

"This is a city without virtue."

"Everyone seeks profit, agriculture is not as good as work, industry is not as good as business, embroidery is not as good as leaning on the door and laughing, profit and money, the people attach the most importance to it; Killing, revenge, rangers, hoes to help the weak, the people like it the most. ”

Shu prisoner Mi didn't know this, and he didn't think there was any difference in this city, he grew up in Si, and some of the big cities in Sishang were also like this, in their prime, everyone sought profit, and left home for the sake of profit and traveled to Chuyue and even further south with a group of brothers and partners, for gold, silver, copper, jade, and all kinds of goods that could be exchanged for gold and coins.

Walking on the street, the prisoner can clearly feel the remaining strength of Handan City, although the inner side of the city wall is heavily guarded and the laws are strict, but once you enter the inner city, life is the same as always, this is not what a city with oil and lamps should look like.

Even when passing through the busiest part of the market near the commercial market, you can hear a group of people lecturing and debating there.

I vaguely heard a person say there, "The problem with the Qi State Guanzi School is that he attaches too much importance to the natural adjustment of "Extravagance". What if in a year of famine, a rich family needs only 100 people to build a palace, but a thousand people are hungry? It can only starve the 900 people to death, and the rest can not achieve the balance of specimens between the nobles and the rich, the industrialists and the industrialists, and the subordinate peasants? The question is, it's, so is it considered human-killed......"

Hearing these half-understood contents, Shu Prisoner smiled secretly, and said in his heart that this place really looks like Sishang, if Peiyi is surrounded, I am afraid that those gentlemen who are good at lecturing will also read books after eating the quota of food, debate when they should debate, and go to the city wall when they should also go to the city wall.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh to himself: "Where will Peiyi be surrounded?" Hit it out. ”

With a kind of fanaticism and arrogance of a new generation of young people, he took his ideas for granted.

After walking through the streets that were a little deserted because the siege was a little deserted, because they had not contributed at all, and they thought that it was a matter of course to relieve the siege instead of cheering and lively, they sent those people to the palace to meet Hu Feizi and others, and the prisoners and these people went to the camp to report first.

After resting for a while, an order came down from here, saying that there was a popular assembly tomorrow, because the troops defending the city needed to continue to be maintained and reorganized, so they were the newcomers to help maintain order.

This is also a task, and the prisoners know that the city is about to start reorganizing the army, and it is inconvenient to draw the troops originally deployed, so it is excellent for them to complete this matter.

At dinner, the group did not eat much, and the food in the Mo family's city defense technique was distributed by a fixed amount, in order to keep it for a long time, although there was a lot of food, it was not to the point of opening up to eat.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, they went to the emptiest part of the city, took the black armbands they had been issued, and maintained them according to their assigned tasks.

The prisoner took a look and determined that during the siege of the city, there were many public gatherings here, so that some of the special execution tables and wooden platforms for some gatherings were readily available, and there were still a few dried corpses hanging on the gallows next to it, which seemed to have begun to discuss the abolition of hanging in Sishang, but it was still normal in Handan.

Out of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask a local soldier from Handan beside him, "Who is hanging here?" ”

The soldier pointed to the nearest dried corpse and said, "That's Guo Zong, the largest iron-smelting clan in Handan, who was hanged after a public trial because he took refuge in the Gongzi Dynasty and made a mess in the city. ”
