When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Xin Qu looked around and found that few people would object.

The reason is very simple, because they went ashore.

With the current territory and size of Yan State, all possible battles have been fought in the surrounding areas.

It will take two generations for the real Chinese people to fully integrate, so during this period of time, we cannot absorb too much foreign population into the core, otherwise the behavior of the Americans will appear.

However, Xin Qu did not finish: “Of course, there will be exceptions to the iteration problem of naturalized people.

First, I have promoted him out of the ordinary. After all, he has made some contributions, so he must be rewarded generously to appease people’s hearts.”

No one objected.

Xinqu's privileges have always existed, and they are all supported by a large number of naturalized people. Many naturalized people in the court and in local areas have their current power because of Xinqu's prestige and endorsement.

Since the grace comes from above, those below must follow it.

Xin Qu nodded, very satisfied with the current performance, and then he continued: "Since ancient times, civilization has been inspired by the Central Plains, and there are hundreds of surnames that have evolved.

But in the final analysis, our marriage relationship over thousands of years has made us inseparable. No matter how far back we go, we are all descendants of three people.

So, I sorted out the history of various surnames passed down in the Central Plains, and decided to give the following twelve surnames the opportunity to become commoners.

That is: Feng, Hao, Ji, Jiang, Si, Yao, Ying, Xun, Gui, Ren, Ji, and Ji.

Moreover, when a child is naturalized as a citizen, he or she must take the mother's surname, which is a good name.

The twelve surnames and our surnames all share a common ancestor, and brothers and relatives have intermarried for generations. Although wars have broken out due to different positions and clans, in the final analysis, we are all people from the Central Plains and cannot be distinguished."

As soon as Xin Qu finished speaking, the faces of the others changed. Someone stood up and said, "Bei Bo, we are from the Central Plains, and we are also descendants of the Central Plains. If we divide it this way, will it also be..."

"Take your mother's surname and trace your roots." Xin Qu looked at the person who spoke, "The surname of Wan was differentiated relatively late. You are a branch of the Feng surname. You should acknowledge this."

"This..." The man's face changed slightly, but he did not deny it in the end.

"Since we are from the same lineage, then we should follow the Feng clan's plan. As long as the rest of you, the Yan clan members, follow the three laws of the Yan State, then why not accept you?"

Xin Qu said clearly: "Besides, although these twelve surnames can be promoted from naturalized people to commoner titles through military merit, they still need to learn writing, Mandarin, and the Three Laws. Otherwise, how can they be accepted?"

"Yes." The representative with the surname Huan quickly lowered his head.

It can be heard that Xin Qu only outlined the origins of the twelve surnames plus additional surnames to determine a common kinship network. As for the purpose, it was also very simple, which was to distinguish foreigners.

He brought a group of Semite slaves from the west, and it was impossible for him to accept them easily.

Then we have to use surname and blood relationship to exclude others and completely defeat this group of people.

In other words, if the maternal bloodline is not pure enough, they will not be accepted.

The sons of female slaves could only serve as slaves of Class A and Class B. Only when they became naturalized people would they be qualified to create a future for the next generation.

After such elimination, either three generations will make a comeback or there will be no descendants in three generations. The descendants of naturalized people who can make a comeback must be talented.

As long as they are talented, if you make a small effort to win them over, they will definitely be loyal to you.

"Okay, don't worry about anything else. According to the clan system of Yan State, three generations of clans are separated, and five generations of ancestors are separated. Not everyone has a surname, so we still need to verify the origins of their ancestors. This is a big project. In the future, witches, historians, and priests from all over the country will have to go to the local area and help write the family tree. This is the most direct way."

After Xin Qu finished speaking, everyone's expressions eased a little, even the noble surnamed Wan stopped objecting.

The reason why he spoke just now was actually because he was worried that if Xin Qu gave the green light alone, a large number of new forces would come and squeeze out their ecological niche.

Xin Qu gave a clear answer directly. In principle, the twelve surnames were the foundation, but the policy also required military merit and changing customs. If you didn't do this, you couldn't climb up. In this way, those who were already in power would not care about this.

Moreover, Xin Qu also made clear the rules: three generations apart from the clan, five generations apart from the ancestor, and use the clan name as the surname to pass on the good reputation for generations.

Since they have obtained the household registration and surname of Yan State, they are their own family and there is no need to trace where their ancestors came from.

Just follow Yan State’s arrangements.

Anyway, just don't divide their powers.

Xin Qu was not surprised by their change of attitude.

His political goal was to create a simple concept of nation. The Twelve Surnames are now the twelve surnames with the largest territories and the largest populations in the Central Plains. However, with the development of population and territory, each family has actually formed a state-based form based on clan names.

The purpose of surnames is to prevent excessive inmarriage among people with the same surname and to form strategic alliances.

Just like the rule of not marrying people with the same surname in the Zhou Dynasty, it was actually a political tool used by Duke Zhou to prevent princes with the same surname from other places from marrying each other and eventually forming an alliance to oppose the Zhou emperor.

This is about the political power struggle.

But Xin Qu and Ji Zhou faced different environments.

Because Xinqu was a rising tribe from a small clan and needed to unite all the forces that could be united, it was impossible for him to really offend all the princes of all the surnames in the Central Plains.

Then we can insist on not marrying people with the same surname, but we must also adhere to the theory of common ancestry in the Central Plains and create a more complete and simple theory of national blood relationship.

China, from the beginning to the end, has always been a combination of blood + world + culture.

Xinqu's previous claim that once you come here, you are one family was just to help them through the period of rise. Now that they have entered a period of stability, they must begin to vigorously wage ideological warfare.

The Shang Dynasty, a large city in the south, was a kinship + religious group that respected the Zi surname. That is, they used religion to rule the country, which was somewhat similar to the later Tianfang.

The most likely problem to arise from doing this is that there must be a strong king, otherwise what awaits Dayi Shang is chaos.

Now, the nine-generation chaos in Dayi Shang is about to stop under Zixun's drastic measures.

It seems that there is not much time left for Xin Qu.

Therefore, he had to form a second political center before Dayi Shang completely ended the Nine Generations of Chaos.

Prove that you are better than the South.

Then, Xinqu's only choice was to take the most correct strategic path proven by later generations - the combination of bloodline, world and culture, and then use more powerful technology to create a high ground of civilization.

After a moment of silence, Xin Qu seemed to have made up his mind. He had a screen brought up and formally presented his administrative division plan, saying: "Since Yu divided the nine states, all the princes in the world have come to pay tribute according to their distance and closeness.

Since the Shang Dynasty, they have occupied and controlled China and called themselves the masters of the world. If they had allowed us to live in the Central Plains and pay tribute as they did before, that would have been fine.

But what did they do?
They bullied our comrades and relatives, forced us to leave our homeland and suffer hardships along the way.

If it weren't for me, I don't know how many people would have died in this northern border, and how many years of chaos it would have endured.

They don't have the spirit of the masters of the world at all, they are just a group of thieves defending their own territory.

Now, under my influence, Zixun has managed to recover Heluo, but the Heluo area is guarded by only the Zi clan and Dongyi relatives. If he had given them support, that would have been fine. But he also tortured his subordinates, asking them to pay tribute with slaves. If that was not enough, he would also ask the meritorious officials who guarded the border for him to use their own people to make up for it.

This kind of person is the worst thief in the world!

Therefore, I have decided to redefine the number of major states in the world to fifteen, to pave the way for the future!" (End of this chapter)
