(Added 3/4 for the tip from book friend Wu Weiqing)
Things like surnames are very important to a tribe, especially for a tribe whose population has reached a certain level.
In addition, Han Cheng was in a hurry, so he was quite anxious when he started doing it.
Before he came here, Han Cheng was very envious of those people in the company who often held meetings, because they didn't have to do anything else during meetings, and meetings seemed very leisurely.
But now, after a whole day and half a night of meetings, Han Cheng no longer thinks so.
Holding a meeting is really not an easy thing.
Especially when you can't slack off or be absent-minded, this is really a job that can cost you your life!
Han Cheng finally lay back on the kang, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.
Thinking about the fact that he still had to attend a meeting tomorrow, Han Cheng felt uncomfortable all over...
The next day, the Qingque tribe held another meeting.
This conference is a conference in the true sense.
Everyone in the Qingque tribe participated, including the slaves in the tribe.
It's just that they are standing at the end of the line.
People from the Tongshan residential area also rushed back to participate.
This was of course the result of Han Cheng sending someone to give advance notice.
Originally, when expanding the main tribe, Han Cheng had built the Qingque Square as large as possible, but now, the Qingque Square, which seemed so large before, has become small again.
The people of the Green Bird Tribe gathered together and it seemed very crowded. Some people were even squeezed to the edge of the pigpen and duck house.
As for the slaves at the back, some of them stood outside the gate.
This is the case when there are still people in the Tongshan residential area, Jinguan City, and the Qinling sub-tribe, and the people there have not yet returned completely.
If all the more than 300 people from these three places were called back, Qingque Square would probably become even more crowded.
However, although it was very crowded, there was no chaos.
On the one hand, it is because the people of the Qingque tribe have already learned about rules, discipline and other things through repeated daily training.
On the other hand, it was because, on the platform below the Green Bird flag, sat their respected Son of God.
Now, the respected Son of God is watching them like this. Under such circumstances, they naturally will not make loud noises at random.
After some piled up firecrackers were lit and made some crackling sounds, the largest meeting of the Qingque tribe so far began.
Han Cheng stood up from his seat, holding a wooden loudspeaker made under his guidance, and spoke loudly to everyone.
With the experience of many previous meetings, Han Cheng made an arrangement for the order of what he was going to say when he spoke to everyone.
This time, he first asked the people of the tribe why the tribe held happy gatherings in the past, or why some tribes would hide in the bushes with other tribes after meeting them.
Then explain this matter.
Just like the previous small meeting held by Han Cheng, after hearing the reason from Han Cheng, those who were sitting at the meeting opened their mouths in surprise.
In the past, they just thought that this was fun, or maybe this was the way the tribe did it since they could remember, so they did it that way too.
But now, after listening to the Son of God's narration, they suddenly understood that these seemingly insignificant things, which they had long been accustomed to, actually contained such great truths and were so important that if they were not handled properly, the entire tribe might be destroyed!
If this had not been said by the Son of God himself, many of them would not have believed it.
After telling everyone in the tribe all this and making them understand these principles, Han Cheng began to tell them about the current situation of the tribe.
In other words, there are no more tribes around the Qingque tribe.
Without the tribe, we can no longer solve this serious problem by the same methods as before.
Not long ago, many people thought that what the Son of God said was very interesting and magical, but now, after being guided by Han Cheng, they suddenly felt that it was not fun anymore. They all realized the seriousness of the matter, and many of them were shrouded in fear.
This is exactly what Han Cheng wanted.
Because only after making people feel a sense of crisis and then proposing solutions can it attract people's attention.
Not only can it deepen people's understanding of this matter, but it can also make things easier to implement.
It was the same principle as before when he fooled everyone in the Green Bird Alliance into joining the tribe.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Han Chengcai spoke again and began to talk to everyone about bloodline.
It makes people understand that the reason why such things happen between close people is because they have the same blood.
This time, when Han Cheng explained the matter to everyone, he no longer used only male examples as he did yesterday when he explained it to his senior brother.
This time, in addition to using the paternal bloodline as an example, Han Cheng also used the maternal bloodline as an example. His purpose was to let the people in the tribe fully understand this matter.
After finishing talking about these things, Han Cheng began to explain the solution, surnames and generations.
In order to help people in the tribe better understand what a surname is, Han Cheng spoke very slowly and carefully this time.
After explaining these things in detail to the people in the tribe, Han Cheng specifically emphasized that the reason for dividing the surnames was just to prevent the tribe from having many problem children in the future, and there was no other meaning.
People from all tribes are members of the Qingque tribe and are a whole, except that their clan names are different.
The reason why all the slaves in the tribe were called together for this meeting was because what was to be done this time was also related to the slaves.
After explaining this matter to them, Han Cheng announced to them that when these people who were originally slaves were freed from their slave status and became citizens of the tribe through hard work and contributions, they would also have their own surname, which was "Han".
At the beginning, Han Cheng was going to create a separate surname for those who were transformed from slaves to use, so that they could form a separate surname.
But after some thought, Han Cheng gave up the idea.
The emergence of the surname and the blood relationship I mentioned today were proposed to solve the problem of inbreeding and reproduction in the tribe, and a common surname "Qing" was created to constrain it and increase the awareness of the tribe members that they are one.
However, these things are bound to have some unpleasant consequences.
For example, with the use of clan names as a means of distinction, the many tribes that have only recently joined the tribe and were originally part of the Qingque Alliance are definitely not as well integrated into the Qingque tribe as the tribes that joined before.
Compared with these people, those who were transformed from slaves into citizens were more likely to be treated differently by other citizens in the tribe because of their previous identities.
If they were given a separate clan name, they would suffer more injustice in the future, which would be detrimental to their integration into the tribe and the unity of the tribe itself.
These things may not be obvious at the beginning, but as time goes by and they accumulate over a long period of time, they can easily cause some problems.
It is because of this realization that Han Cheng abandoned his previous ideas and changed them to the current way, converting them into Han's practices.
Without an electric loudspeaker, it was really tiring to just hold a primitive thing like this and speak loudly to everyone.
After all this operation, Han Cheng felt like his throat was about to smoke.
And what he conveyed to everyone through this conference also successfully created a huge stir in the entire tribe, and everyone was talking about it.
However, amid all the discussions, there was no dissenting voice; everyone was only discussing the matter itself.
The reason for this is, on the one hand, because Han Cheng, as the son of God, has too high prestige in the tribe, and on the other hand, it is because of some of the techniques Han Cheng used when telling everyone about this matter.
Of course, people have different abilities to understand. Although he spoke these words to everyone, it is certain that there will be some people who do not quite understand.
However, Han Cheng was not worried about such things, because after the conference, he would organize a group of people who fully understood these things, and let them disperse among the tribes to help those who did not understand them thoroughly.
Han Cheng knew from later generations that keeping people ignorant was never a good idea. Only by fully enlightening people's wisdom could the tribe become more prosperous and stronger, and many things could be implemented better.
The model in this regard is our Qing Dynasty...
After these matters were initially arranged, a massive name-changing campaign began in the tribe.
All of them were named according to the method taught by Han Cheng before, with the surname plus the character of the generation, and then another character, together forming the name.
Among these, regarding seniority, I need to talk more with people in the tribe.
It goes without saying that Han Cheng is the only one with the "Tian" generation, and the rest of the people are ranked starting from the "Di" generation.
Not everyone starts from the "Di" generation. Only those who have no elders above them will start from the "Di" generation.
For example, the eldest brother starts with the "Di" generation, and his descendants are ranked from the "You" generation, and the grandchildren are ranked from the "Zheng" generation.
In addition to determining whether there are elders as mentioned above, age is also a major factor in determining seniority.
For example, Heiwa, although he has no elders above him, but because he is much older than his eldest brother and others, he is assigned the "You" generation.
In addition, Han Cheng also decided that from today onwards, when other tribes join his tribe, when ranking the generations, the oldest person in their tribe will be of the same generation as the person with the largest number of people in his tribe.
After such an operation, these people are generally of lower generation than those already in the tribe.
The most troublesome thing is the initial determination of generations. As long as the initial generations are determined, the rest will be easy. You just need to arrange them in order of generations.
Since the name has been changed, the corresponding ID card also needs to be changed. Therefore, Heiwa, Bo and others have naturally become extremely busy people. They need to replace new ID cards for everyone in the tribe in the shortest possible time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Cheng also updated the identity cards in the tribe.
The current ID card system in the tribe is that the ID cards of first-level citizens are made of pottery, and the ID cards of second-level citizens are made of wood.
In view of the fact that ceramic identity cards are easily damaged, people need to pay constant attention to them during their daily work, fearing that they will be damaged, which will invisibly affect their work efficiency. Therefore, Han Cheng decided to eliminate them and use stronger and more precious bronze to make identity cards for first-class citizens.
As for the identity card of second-level citizens, it is still a small card made of peach wood, with no changes.
Of course, bronze is much heavier than pottery. In order to prevent people from feeling pinched by their necks when wearing it daily, Han Cheng did not have the first-class citizen ID card made too big or too thick...
As night fell, Xiong'er, a member of the original bear tribe who had changed his name to Xiong You'er, lay on a kang covered with hay with his eyes open.
There were many sounds of grinding teeth, farting, snoring, etc., coming from the surrounding darkness and entering his ears.
Xiong You'er was very familiar with these sounds because they were made by people from his original tribe.
Hearing this sound, Xiong You'er couldn't help but think of the leader who returned to the tribe alone and lived in the tribe.
When he thought of the leader, his mood became particularly complicated.
Perhaps the leader was really wrong this time.
Lying on the kang, Xiong You'er thought about the things he had seen in the Qingque tribe in the past few days, as well as the experiences of himself and other new members of the tribe.
Although he and others joined the Qingque tribe and became members of the Qingque tribe, they were not separated after joining Qingque, and they also had a common clan.
With this surname, you can recognize who is from the Bear Tribe at a glance.
Moreover, the wise and kind Son of God also said that not only these people would be named Xiong, but the children they would give birth to in the future would also be named Xiong, and their names would also start with the word Xiong.
Under such circumstances, although their Bear Tribe no longer exists, it continues to exist in another form, and it is the kind that will never disappear...
Perhaps, if the leader had known earlier that this would be the outcome, he would not have decided to stay alone in the tribe.
As he thought about this, he couldn't help but have the idea of calling the leader from his original tribe and asking him to join the Qingque tribe and live together.
However, at this time, the deadline set by the tribe's gods had already passed...
"well……"
After a long time, Xiong You'er took a long breath, then closed his eyes and began to sleep.
At the same time, Wu, who lived in the same house as Han Cheng, was also not asleep.
During this period of time, Wu Du has been particularly happy.
The population of the tribe increased so much all of a sudden, and the strength of the tribe became much stronger than before.
As the witch of the tribe and the one who wanted to see the tribe get better and better, the witch was of course very happy. So much so that during this period, Yuan, who slept on the same kang with him, was smiling all day long, and his eyes were almost invisible.
However, Wu was not so excited now. On the contrary, he was feeling a lot of worries in his heart.
Because he suddenly realized a problem. This problem is that these new members of the Qingque Alliance have a surname different from his and others, and it can be passed down. In the future, will they have second thoughts about their own tribes, and will they have some inappropriate thoughts...
The more Wu thought about it, the more worried he became, and felt that something like this was very likely to happen.
After all, these new people who have joined their tribe are different from those who have integrated into their tribe before.
Is it possible to distinguish these people without using the surname method?
As soon as this thought arose, the witch threw it out of his mind.
Compared to what he was worried about now, the consequences of inbreeding that the Son of God mentioned were undoubtedly more frightening.
However, if he really let this matter go on like this, the witch would feel uneasy and was always worried that the tribe would suffer some harm in the future.
After thinking about it over and over for a while, Wu still couldn't figure out anything. Worried, he turned over and hugged Yuan. After a while, he finally fell asleep worriedly...
"It's okay, Wu, don't worry too much about this matter..."
The next day, Wu found Han Cheng and told him about his worries.
After Han Cheng knew Wu's worries, he thought for a while and said this to Wu with a smile.
Han Cheng had considered what Wu said a long time ago.
Using surnames to distinguish these people in the tribe can indeed easily lead to the situations that the witches worry about.
However, there is no need to worry too much.
After all, the country where he lived in later generations had so many people that even the Hundred Family Surnames combined could not cover them all.
But what can we do?
Aren't people all living in harmony and caring for their common country?
Of course, the tribe is still in the early stages of establishing this system, and many aspects are still immature. There may be some problems, and it may not reach the level of later generations. However, Han Cheng is not going to ignore these things.
He also had some methods that he had not used.
First of all, it is about ideology. They vigorously promote the idea that the Qingque tribe is one family in the tribe and emphasize that everyone is from the same tribe. The purpose of setting up different clans is just to solve the fatal problem of inbreeding.
Then, on the basis of vigorously promoting these things, as before, the people of these newly added tribes were artificially disrupted.
The reason why the names were not shuffled before was to separate the surnames.
Now that the clans have been divided and their names have been decided, it is natural to use the previous method to shuffle these people.
In this case, even if they are shuffled, there is no need to worry about not being able to recognize them. After all, you only need to look at their names.
As long as they are not allowed to continue living together in the original tribal units, there is no need to worry that they will continue to stick together, and the things that the witch is worried about will not be a problem.
Moreover, up to now, Han Cheng still has one trick up his sleeve that he has not used.
This method was something similar to a stage play that he had already started preparing long before the tribes of the Green Bird Alliance joined his own tribe. It was created using tree bark as the prototype.
In the past, we were always busy with various things and had no time to let the children in the tribe perform for everyone. Now that various things have been preliminarily settled, it is time for this future model opera to make its debut!
Han Cheng smiled and told Wu about his thoughts. The worry on Wu's face disappeared immediately...
Everyone in the Qingque tribe seemed very curious and expectant.
Because when they were eating in the morning, the Son of God told them that today there would be something good for everyone in the tribe to see.
Something that could be said by the Son of God must not be simple.
Some people knew some information. After all, what Han Cheng did was not particularly secretive.
However, they only know a general idea. As for the specific things, except for Wu, the eldest brother, Shitou and a few others, the rest of the people don't know.
Because during the rehearsal, according to his arrangement, everyone was in the largest room in the Qingque main tribe. He also told the people in the tribe not to get close to see what was going on inside.
The purpose of doing this is, of course, to keep it secret, so that when the official performance comes, it can give everyone a big surprise and leave a deeper impression on everyone.
There is no doubt that his desired goal has been achieved.
These days, when the children were rehearsing, there were occasional sounds of gongs and drums and other noises coming from inside.
The children who participated in the rehearsal also changed into clothes that were different from their usual clothes, and many of them had some colored things smeared on their faces by the Son of God himself.
Moreover, after coming out of the room, these children kept silent about what happened inside according to Han Cheng's instructions...
The combination of these unusual things has already whetted everyone's appetite to the fullest...
