Since he has accepted him as his apprentice, of course, you must know the apprentice's name.

So Zhao Xing asked, "Advisor, what's your name?"

Zhao Xing became Meng Lang again. In this era, the name was not obvious. The famous ones were all nobles, but some were monosyllables. Of course, there were now two-syllable names, but very few. But the people had no names. Most of them were named after their occupations or resident locations, such as Zhao Tu, Shanzuo, Dongguo, Cang, and Lin. These later gradually became surnames. The reason why names began to develop and improve later was actually related to population growth. This is called a market with demand.

As the population develops, villages and towns begin to form, so the population is concentrated. Then, the people are shouting again on the street - Lin, then the promise is definitely half a street, and everyone can't tell who you are calling. An official orders to capture the slaughter, and the people below can immediately catch you.

Therefore, it is also necessary to start to appear individual names, so the names with double tones appear.

"The apprentice has no name." Faced with Zhao Xing's inquiry, the farmer answered honestly.

"I can't ask you to feed you, so let's give you a name for me."

In fact, in this era, you just want to name people casually, just seek death. When you encounter someone with a bad temper, you can just mention it and kill you.

In ancient times, naming people was a very serious matter, which was the father's patent. Another type was to name his slave as the master. For example, now, Zhao Xing is not the farmer's father or grandfather, and just wanting to name a person casually is equivalent to a disguised announcement that the farmer, his disciple, Zhao Xing already has ownership of him. As long as he accepts this name, from now on, the life and death of this person will be in his hands.

At that time, the farmer immediately knelt down with gratitude again. "The teacher gave him a name and was grateful. From then on, he followed the teacher after life and death."

Zhao Xing did not expect that he gave him a code name just to call the farmer to facilitate his convenience, but the farmer showed loyalty to him. So he was at a loss and put away his carelessness and thought solemnly: "Wuji, and you are from Zhao, so you are called Zhao Wuji." This name represents a huge wish, which immediately made Zhao Wuji extremely happy.

At this time, Zhao Yong said, "Since you have given someone a name, of course you have to give me a gift."

Zhao Xing really didn't expect that he would give someone a name, and it was a very good name. According to the principle, the other party would at least offer him a big red ticket. As a result, he did not get extra money, but he had to give him a gift. This contrast is indeed too huge.

But looking at Zhao Wuji's expectant eyes, Zhao Yong did not look solemn as a joke, so he decided: "I will never name others again in the future, but now I have been fooled, so I have to follow the local customs."

What else can I have on myself? Only that sword. The sword is exquisite and sharp, but I will become a noble in the future. The nobles do not need such a sword that can truly kill people. The sword worn by the nobles is a gorgeous and slender outrageous decoration, and this kind of real murderous weapon will lose its identity if worn.

So he held up the sharp sword with both hands and gave it to Zhao Wuji solemnly: "This sword is the master, I will give it to you."

Zhao Wuji took it with both hands solemnly: "Thank you, Lord."

Why did you suddenly change your words and call me the master instead of calling me a master?

In fact, when he named Zhao Wuji, he turned this person into his own private property, which could also be called a slave. When Zhao Wuji asked him for gifts, he wanted to turn his identity into a retainer who was one level higher than the slave. When Zhao Xing rewarded him with a gift, he was equivalent to a promise: "I accept your follower, and you are already my retainer."

But there is no need to care too much about these details, because the stomachs of the three people were rumbling.

Zhao Wuji's wife looked at the light and was concentrating on sewing clothes for Zhao Xing. Of course, the cooking was handed over to Zhao Wuji and his son.

In this era, there was no vegetable oil, so there was no frying, cooking and frying, only cooking and barbecue, and there were no various seasonings. Zhao Wuji took out the most hearty food in their house, which was to cut the dried meat accumulated from hunting, cut it into pieces, put it in the pot, then grabbed a few handfuls of beans and threw it in. Finally, he carefully took out a packet of salt in the corner, carefully pinched Nie, thought about it, and added some portions.

Zhao State does not produce salt. Salt is the patent of Qi State. The pipe relies on salt and iron to dominate the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Therefore, salt is precious and even more expensive. It is estimated that only when the distinguished guests come, they can put some more.

Although there is no seasoning or cooking oil, as long as there is salt, it is a delicacy. Especially when two people haven't tasted the salt for almost two months, the faint salty smell has already made the two people drool invisibly.

During the meal, Zhao Yong knelt on the top, and Zhao Xing was sitting cross-legged on the left. Zhao Wuji was not qualified to sit together. Even though Zhao Xing and Zhao Yong asked many times, Zhao Wuji still refused firmly and filled in soup and meat on the side. However, the beans were served separately, which was the staple food and rice.

When Zhao Xing saw a bowl of cooked beans, he did not dare to eat too much. His stomach and intestines were not yet adapted to the ancient beans. He would fart after eating too much. This was rude to the future king and had no image in front of the future retainers and disciples.

At night, Zhao Yong and Zhao Xing were arranged to sleep on the mat, while Zhao Wuji and his wife and children went to a warehouse outside to rest.

At night, there is still residual heat in the stove and fur underneath it. Especially in this era, even the climate in the north is not very cold. The four seasons are really distinct, which appeared in the Tang and Song dynasties. So, here, there are also the plants that should be found in the tropical areas. Otherwise, how could it be called Yu in Henan? If later meteorologists saw such a climate, wouldn’t they be scared to death by the greenhouse climate that they were afraid of talking about?
