Chapter 510 Universal Surname
Early in the morning, the Moss Hundred-Household District under the Kenny Thousand-Household District in Oxfordshire manages six nearby viges, with more than 190 households and a poption of 789 people.
As the administrative seat of the Hundred Household District, the head of the Hundred Household District, the court of the Hundred Household District, and the police station all work in Moss Vige.
On this day, just after lunch, Bull wiped his mouth, and drove his precious cattle that had just eaten forage from his cowshed, and then walked towards the fields in the countryside step by step.
Bull is a self-cultivator. Because of the religious reform and remation, the family now owns three acres ofnd, but it is still difficult to support the lives of seven people in the family.
Under desperation, Bull could only rent 20 acres ofnd from Sir Buck''s family, so that his family could make ends meet.
Who knows, since the government and other ces have heard news that manure can be used to irrigate thend, thereby increasing the production of thend.
Moreover, this was posted on the political bulletin board of the hundred-household district in the vige to spread the word.
Originally, Boolean dismissed this kind of news, but he couldn''t help the temptation to increase the volume. This is an increase of five or sixyers!
Moreover, because of the implementation of the three-field system, thend cultivated each year is directly increased by half, and the harvest is naturally increased by half.
So, after trying a bit, Bull immediately filled his home and the rentednd with manurepost and fermented it, then covered and watered it.
Moreover, he was shrewd and directly reced the originally nted rye with more expensive and more popr wheat.
In the second year, he used the money he earned to buy a cow. It was said that the cow was brought from Eastern Europe. It was obedient and not picky about food.
Because of the cattle, Bull immediately rented and nted another 30 acres. Moreover, this time he was going to nt some turnips. I heard that the crops would grow better this way.
In a few years, the life of the Boole family has taken a triple jump, from being half-starved to now having no worries about food and clothing, and even going to buy a little wine from time to time to help his wife and daughter. A few bolts of cloth to make new clothes.
All this made Bull novel and satisfied. In addition to praying to God from time to time, he also asked where these came from.
As a result, Lord Sir Buck told him that these were all preached by His Majesty the King, which gave Bull the first time to have a clear understanding and image of His Majesty the King.
Humming a song, Bull''s wrinkled face was full of carefree taste at this time, and his steps were easy and bright.
"Boolean, let''s plow the fields again!"
"Yeah! Today is a good day!"
"Boolean, life is getting better and better, when will you treat me to dinner!"
"The day after tomorrow,e to my house, let''s drink together!"
Boole is very popr. Along the way, people he knew kept saying hello to him, and he also agreed to them one by one with a smile.
His days are getting more and morefortable, his life is nourished, and his mood is naturally happy and carefree.
"What decree has been issued? I have to go and see!"
Passing by the bulletin board, Bull saw that there were crowded people and discussions, and the discussion became louder and louder.
Thanks to the increasing benefits of decrees over the past few years, Bull has naturally be more interested in decrees, and he also wants to know if there is any news that can increase production.
"Moo—" tied the rope on the bull''s nose to a nearby tree, then trotted over, looking around with interest.
"Hey! Wood, what is written on the notice?" Looking at the densely packedrge letters on it, Bull''s head hurt, and he quickly patted Wood, the most knowledgeable person in the vige, who had gone to the county to take the qualification examination.
"Oh, it''s written on it, the United Kingdom government has announced that the hundred-household district and the thousand-household general district will restore their original names!"
Wood exined softly when he saw that it was Boolean.
"It''s no longer called the Hundred-House District, so what is the name of the Moss Hundred-House District?" Bull asked in panic as soon as he heard that the Hundred-House District had disappeared for so many years.
"The Moss Hundred Household District will be called Moss Town in the future, and the Kenny Thousand Household District will also be called Kenny County. The head of the hundred households will be called the mayor. Except for the name, everything else has not changed!"
Seeing more and more peopleing to listen to his exnation, Wood panicked for a while, swallowed his mouth, and under the eager eyes of everyone, he immediately exined one by one.
"oh-"
Hearing that only the name has changed, and the rest remains the same, everyone below immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The days are good now, and they don''t want to go back to the past.
"Then, is there anything else?"
After Bull breathed a sigh of relief, he didn''t get the production increase information he wanted, so he immediately asked again.
Wood nced at him a little irritatedly. After seeing the eager and searching eyes of other people, Wood could only continue to exin helplessly.
Who told the head of a hundred households to be sozy, and he didn''te out to exin, so he could only work hard for him.
"En—" Wood followed the document, his eyes gradually downward, and when he saw the next text, his expression gradually became dull.
"What''s wrong? Wood, talk!" Looking at him a little dazed. The crowd kept urging.
"The notice said that all citizens, those who do not have a surname, must find a surname for themselves, and it will be fixed like a nobleman, because in the next few months, the poption and household registration will be re-conducted , throughout the United Kingdom!"
Wood swallowed, and said slowly word by word.
As soon as the words came out, the other vigers in the field also eximed. They will have a surname of their own, and it is mandatory.
"Wood, is what you said true? Will everyone have their ownst name?"
Boole was at a loss for a while. These ordinary vigers are not nobles. Why do they have surnames? And it must be like the nobles hope, and cannot be changed.
British surnames were not widely used until the Norman Conquest in the 10th century, and they were still used among nobles.
For example, if the grandfather is a cksmith and the son is a veterinarian, the family name will change from cksmith to Farrier.
Surnames are still in recent decades, arge number of them have sprung up in cities, but there are still a group of people with names but no surnames in the countryside.
The words, thisrge-scale poprization of surnames across the country, made the vigers puzzled. They are farmers who are farming, and their surnames have never appeared in their minds.
Of course, having a surname makes the vigers secretly happy, after all, it is a symbol of a person with status.
The nationwide poprization of surnames this time is a decision made after careful consideration by His Majesty Edward and the cab ministers.
Allowing residents to have a fixed surname is equivalent to allowing the government to grasp the information of residents more urately, thereby plugging the loopholes in the household registration system, and allowing the coalition government to control the society to a higher level.
Thereafter, in the United Kingdom, no matter whether it is a noble or amoner, an official or a beggar, all will have a surname and be a real person.
