Chapter 262 The City of Virtues (Part 1) (Repair)

History books cannot be written too heavily, so everyone is qualified to leave their names and be evaluated by later generations.

Ximen Bao’s evaluation behind him was that he had at least a surname and name.

The illegitimate captor Mi was better than most people of the times in this regard, and he didn't know this because he had at least a surname and name.

Two days later, the Wei army besieged Handan began to shrink, and the smuggling captives 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 tribe a few days ago that we all have surnames in the future? What is this surname used for?"

Looking at the walls of Handan not far away, Mi thought about the things he had been studying in Si and replied, "It seems that it's just for the sake of the same surname, right? I remember hearing someone before that it is said that relatives are prone to having children who cannot be raised. It's the content of the 'can, big jar, small jar, intercourse and cross', which means almost the same."

The soldier thought for a while and recalled that he had indeed heard this explanation of why parents and children had similarities.

But he still wondered: "But the company commander, your surname is Shu. I heard that the surname is only your family. If your uncle or relative who is far away is to draw lots of one, two or three, then can you get married with them?"

Since common people need a surname, they naturally have to draw lots. Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of villages and communities in the world will follow the rules of the nobles' fiefs as their clans, and they may not have to create hundreds of thousands of surnames, so there are not so many words.

This casual sentence from the common people of Gaoliu was actually a very famous debate topic in the early years of the Warring States Period: the white horse is not a horse, the self is self.

The silence prisoner Mi is not a person who is so weird about the way he thinks about problems in his mind. If he is twenty years ago, he is easily trapped in self-doubt: When I call myself a conversation with you, and you also call myself me, do you say I am you and you are me? Who am I? Who am I? I am a silly fifty-four, then if others are called silly fifty-four, who is silly fifty-four?

On the contrary, the scoundrel Mi, who is not very deeply involved in the debate, is more likely to jump out of this circle and follow the Mohist explanation that "there are horns and hooves and yellow fur to make a cow, even if others call it a horse, it is a cow", and said: "The meaning of Si Shang is that since everyone under the Emperor of Heaven is equal, then there is no need to have a surname with a noble surname but no low name. If you want equality, start from the outside first and then finally solve those essential problems."

"I heard that it seems that I was making a picture album based on the current surname and surname. If I don't have a surname, I will choose one by myself. I am not allowed to make random things."

This was the news that came from Si Shang not long ago, and it was not the decision of the internal meeting of the Mohist school. It was proposed by someone when the people of Si Shang discussed the new law and immediately caused a huge response.

The sanctioned prisoner Mi was not very clear about the specific surname. After all, he also heard people talk about it during the study session, as if to prevent the use of strange place names such as "front of the house", "five willows", and "jingkou" as surnames, and to prevent the use of "slander" and "blacksmith" as surnames.

The slander captive Mi didn't know the cruelty of history. In the original history, there was no such surname as his family. The common people who did not have surnames were basically deprived of their male inheritance rights in the thousands of years of competition: most of the participants in each fierce social change were actually creating the direct lineage of their ancestors, rather than the descendants of the aristocrats, who were always more likely to leave their descendants than those real civilians.

He didn't know that a family like him would basically be impossible to leave behind male blood in a thousand years, and he died in the long river of history.

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

He already has a surname, so he is inevitably somewhat opposed to the fact that he chooses a surname in his heart: he thought that this is not a mistake of paying attention to the outside but not the essence? As long as he upholds the meaning of equality for everyone, what is the difference between having a surname or not? This is because he attaches too much importance to name and neglects reality.

However, he finally has a surname, so these complaints and oppositions are not easy to be raised in the study session. It would be fine if he had no surname and no surname.

The inquiring soldier was happy and asked again: "I heard that although I had to draw lots and choose a surname, the characters of the surname are not quite the same as those of the original nobles?"

The prisoner Mi Haha laughed and said, "Idiot, the characters we wrote are different from those written by the nobles. The same simple character "Lu" is the willow of the willow tree; the willow of the nobles in the world are mostly descendants of Liuxiahui, and the willow of the land of Liuxia. Anyway, it is just a name, whatever you catch is what you catch, just like you are now called Ergou, you are called Ergou and Liu Ergou, aren't they all you?"

The soldier hurriedly said, "That's different. If I have a son in the future, the son's surname is Liu. I guess, mainly because I am afraid that when the sacrifices burn paper money after death, there will be more people in the world called Ergou, but then my son will pay tribute to me to Liu Ergou, and it will not be easy to make mistakes. Otherwise, it would be bad if it was burned to Ergou from the Fourth Company and Ergou from the Sixth Company."

The friends behind all laughed, and the prisoner Mi laughed and said, "Okay, it's not wrong. The Tiangui will recognize you at that time and deliver the offerings prepared by your son to you, just like the postman in our army. This is also good. Everyone has surnames at that time, will they all become nobles? It depends on the essence. Some nobles are still sworms, while some nobles just have to work hard to get rich."

When they talked about this, everyone couldn't help but remember the daily work of the postmaster in the army: the same name is everywhere in the army, especially the people serving in the country of Dai have names related to cattle and horses. The things and money sent by mail must be carefully distinguished from the village, community and village. If you have a surname, it seems that the postmaster's job is much simpler.

The laughter of the crowd was heard by the several Mo people following them into the city, looking at the cheerful atmosphere of the soldiers, they also put away their usual serious faces and started to laugh with everyone.

This time, Ximen Bao retreated was basically a foregone conclusion. The dispute between Wei and Zhao can basically be resolved through the Mischief presided over by the Mohist school, and these people also felt relaxed.

Now, in order to express sincerity, the Ximen Bao army of the Wei army also reduced its forces from the unfolding siege to the defensive posture, leaving a gap. These people entered the city first to calm the people, and also to convey some orders.

Talked and laughed, and it was almost at the city wall. It was obvious that the defensive style of the Mo family in Si Shang was obvious. Several Momen first hung up the city wall with ropes 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 prisoner Mi found that Handan City looked a bit siege, but it was still early before the oil was exhausted and the people's lives were in order and there was no panic.

That is to say, the large number of toilets near the city walls and the way men and women move left and right, it can be seen that this is indeed a city defended by the Mohist family. With the strong style of Mohist city guarding, you can tell at a glance that there is no other name.

When the illegitimate prisoners Mi and others went to pick up Solusan back, he had contact with Solusan, but he did not know that after Solusan came to Handan and talked with those rebels, the rebels gave the evaluation of Handan.

"This is a city of unvirtuousness."

"Everyone seeks profit, farmers are not as good as workers, workers are not as good as merchants, and tattoos are not as good as smiling. Profits and money are the most important; killing people, revenge, rangers, and helping the weak, the people like the most."

The sanctioned prisoner Mi didn't know what this said, and he didn't think the city was different. He grew up in Si, and most of the big cities on Si were like this. He was in his prime and everyone sought profit. For the sake of profit, he left home and led a group of brothers to travel to Chuyue and even further south, for gold, silver, copper, jade, and various goods that could be exchanged for gold and coins.

On the streets walking, the sancang captain Mi could clearly feel the remaining strength of Handan City. Although the guards within one mile on the inner wall were strict, the laws were strict, but once you entered the inner city, life was as always, and this was not what a city with exhausted energy should look like.

Even when you pass by the busiest city area near the commercial city, you can hear a group of people giving lectures and debating.

I vaguely heard a person saying, "The problem with the Guanzi School of Qi State is that he attaches too much importance to the natural adjustment of "Extraordinary". If a wealthy family only needs a hundred people to build a palace in the year of famine, but a thousand people are hungry, what should I do? I can only starve all nine hundred people to death. Isn't the remaining ones a balance between the specimens between nobles, wealthy people, industry and commerce, and farmers? This is to rely on reason to starve people to achieve a balance, which is still unjust. The problem is that this is killed by heaven, so is it considered a killing of humans..."

Hearing these contents that he didn't understand, the prisoner Mi An laughed and thought that this place looked like Si Shang. If Peiyi was surrounded, I am afraid that those who are good at teaching would still read books after eating the quota allocated food. When it comes to debate, it is also the city wall when it comes to the city wall.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Where will Peiyi be surrounded? Just beat it out."

With the fanaticism and arrogance of the new generation of young people in Suga, he felt that his thoughts were simply natural.

After walking through the streets where the siege was a little deserted because they had not yet made any efforts and thought that the rescue was taken for granted rather than cheering and lively, they sent the people to the palace to meet Hu Feizi and others, and the smugglers Mi went to the camp to report.

After a while of rest, an order was sent here, saying that there would be a gathering of people tomorrow. Because the troops guarding the city need to continue to maintain and rectify, they will help to maintain order.

This is also a task. The prisoner Mi knew that the army was about to be reorganized in the city, and it was not convenient to draw the troops originally deployed. It was excellent for them to complete this.

During dinner, the group did not eat much. The food in the Mo family's city guarding technique was allocated at a fixed quota. In order to keep it for a long time, although there was a lot of food, it was not enough to eat.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, they arrived at the most empty place in the city early, brought the black armbands they sent, and maintained according to the assigned tasks.

The sanctioned prisoner Mi looked at it and confirmed that during the siege, there were many people's gatherings here, so that some of the siege-killing platforms and wooden platforms were all available. There were several air-dried corpses hanging on the gallows next to it. This seemed that the discussion on abolishing the hanging in Si was already beginning to discuss the abolition of hanging, but it was still normal in Handan.

Out of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask a local soldier from Handan beside him and said, "Who is it all hanging on?"
