Chapter 248 Surname Issue

Yang Yi pulled Jinyu man Jiagu into the hotel.

All the good wine and food were served, and we had a great meal.

Yang Yi made Jia Gu, an alcoholic, feel comfortable, and also learned about various conditions in Jinyu society from him.

The society of Jinyu people is a typical tribal society.

Compared with the clan-based society of the fish people, the tribal society is very different.

The clan society of the fish people is a social group of fish people united by the same blood relationship. Members of the same fish people clan usually come from a common ancestor, or at least they are believed to have a common ancestor.

The Jinyu people's tribal society is no longer connected by blood, but by region. Private ownership has begun to exist, and class differentiation has emerged internally.

If we look at the history of human development, clan society probably emerged in the middle or late Paleolithic Age. Around the Chalcolithic era, it disintegrated due to the development of private ownership. After that, some clan-based societies slowly evolved into tribal societies.

Therefore, the clan society of the fish people is a relatively primitive social system, while the tribal society of the Jinyu people can be regarded as a more progressive system.

Most of the murlocs in Ratchet Town only gathered together in the past two years. They do not share common ancestors and do not belong to the same murloc clan. So Yang Yi decided not to engage in the clan system, which is the most common form of the fish people, and jump directly to the Jinyu people's tribal system.

For humans, the tribal system is still a relatively primitive and backward system, but for the fish people, it is a huge leap, and it can be regarded as a milestone in the development history of the fish people.

"Listening to what Jia Gu said, it would be a huge progress if the fishmen tribe could develop into a tribal system. Then let's not do those miscellaneous things in Ratchet Town. After all, we are a fishmen tribe." Yang Yi thought to himself. .

In the tribal society of the Jinyu people mentioned by Jia Gu, not only are the tribal elders the final say, but the slavery system is also retained.

Yang Yi was particularly satisfied after hearing this governance model that was completely centered on the ruler and said, "I order and you obey."

Next, Yang Yi took advantage of the wine to ask Jagu many things about his birthplace, Pandaria.

I don’t know if this Jinyu man started bragging after drinking. In Jagu’s mouth, Pandaria is simply a paradise.

The next morning, Yang Yi woke up on a simple wooden bed in the hotel. He had a happy chat with Jia Gu yesterday, but ended up drinking too much.

Yang Yi felt that he had a good drinking capacity. After turning into a fish-man, his drinking capacity increased greatly, but he was still no match for Jia Gu, an alcoholic.

Yang Yi stood up and held his big fish-man head with both hands.

Fortunately, he was quite restrained yesterday because he wanted to understand Jinyu society and the situation in Pandaria.

At least I wasn't dizzy when I woke up, and I didn't lose my memory after drinking.

The hotel was already busy early in the morning. The two murloc chefs, Soup Spoon and Cookie, were already at work. The murlocs waiting for the delicious breakfast had already lined up outside the hotel gate.

"It's not bad. After my lord said it a few times, it has improved a lot. The fishmen in the town finally know how to queue up."

Yang Yi was very pleased to see the fishmen waiting in line. He walked over and jumped in the queue, sat down on the front chair, and ordered a breakfast.

"Cookie, our town has recently recruited a lot of new murlocs in Ratchet Bay, including many tall and strong female murlocs. I, the lord, will make arrangements for you." Yang Yi talked to Cookie while waiting for breakfast. Chatting.

"Mayor Poseidon, Cookie already has chocolate." Cookie said and lowered his head.

Ha, this little guy is so shy again.

Yang Yi finds it interesting every time he sees Cookie bowing his head in shyness. A ferocious-looking big-headed fish man becomes shy. The scene shouldn't be too funny.

"I heard from Jiagu yesterday that the Jinyu people hold a blind date conference every year when the river is plentiful. This lord thinks this is a very good idea. It seems that our Ratchet Town will also hold such an event early. . But once a year is too little, I think once a month is not bad." Yang Yi said.

"Mayor, what is the Jinyu People's 'Dating Conference'?" Tang Lao on the side asked curiously.

"Well, I heard from Jia Gu that it seemed to be called some kind of gathering. I kind of forgot the name." Yang Yi recalled it, but couldn't remember it. "It doesn't matter what the name is. Anyway, it's held for young fishmen to find mating partners." ’s rally.”

As soon as he heard that he was looking for a mate, Spoon nodded excitedly, and the fishmen lining up behind him also shouted excitedly.

"Don't yell. As long as you work hard, you will definitely find someone at the rally." Yang Yi said loudly.

"Long live the mayor!" The fishmen in line shouted even louder.

Yang Yi no longer stopped these murlocs from shouting, "Listen to these shouts. They are shouts from deep in the heart. It seems that this is a good policy that has won the hearts of the people."

Yang Yi was very satisfied with the blind date conference, a tradition copied from the Jinyu people. In his opinion, it was important for the fish people to work hard, and it was equally important to have more children.

Being able to give birth is one of the biggest advantages of the fish people, and it must be carried forward.

"It's a good thing to have more fishmen, but the problem of inbreeding still needs to be solved." Yang Yi was worried.

When the murlocs breed, they discharge the murloc eggs directly into the sea, so not only is it impossible to identify the father, but they can't even determine who the mother is.

Under such circumstances, there is a big problem in the fishman clan, and that is the problem of inbreeding.

Since most people cannot confirm their parents or the relationship between brothers and sisters, they cannot confirm the relationship between collateral relatives.

In this case, although the fishman clan prohibits mating between people of different ages and generations, the phenomenon of inbreeding is difficult to avoid by this alone.

Yang Yi believes that inbreeding is one of the main reasons that affect the IQ of the fishman clan, so it must be changed.

"Raising your own children by your side like Cookie did is only the most preliminary solution. According to Jia Gu, each fishman in the Jinyu tribe has his own surname, and people with the same surname cannot marry each other, which basically solves the problem of inbreeding."

Therefore, a difficult problem facing Yang Yi is to give surnames to the fishmen in Ratchet Town.

The surname must be easy to remember and call, otherwise it will be troublesome when there are too many fishmen in the future.

While eating breakfast, Yang Yi racked his brains to give surnames to the fishmen in the town. His idea was more direct, using the clan and occupation of the fishmen as surnames.

For example, the murloc Grunt Ratchet Builder in the town has been given a name. Ratchet is the clan and Builder is the profession. By analogy, the surname of the murloc beachwalker in Ratchet Town is "Ratchet Beachwalker", and the surname of the murloc tidefinder in Ratchet Town is "Ratchet Tidefinder".

Such a directly translated surname is simple and easy to remember.

As for the murlocs without professions, they will not be given surnames. .
