Chapter 449 Concubine Story
Anon heard those voices and roared, "Shut up!"
Everyone shut their mouths.
Qin Lang was still drinking tea, seemingly ignoring their words.
Anong walked up to Qin Lang, stroked her somewhat messy hair, and wiped her face with her sleeve, trying her best to make herself look clean and tidy.
"Duke Wei!"
"Madam, no matter what your decision is, I will understand and respect it." Qin Lang said.
"I hope Duke Wei can keep what you said. Please call back the soldiers you sent out. There is no need to attack Dongzhai. I will let them open the door and surrender. You choose a day, and we will get things done. Let my son recognize you as his father, but he will not change his surname if he is only a adoptive father and adoptive father."
Qin Lang nodded.
"Thank you Madam for being able to figure it out. This is a good thing for both of us. Getting married is a big deal, and recognizing a father is even more so. I hope it can be a little more grand and invite all the Xidong leaders in my fiefdom of Wu'an Prefecture Come, and invite officials from Jiaozhou, Yongzhou, and Zuozhou to witness the ceremony."
"What do you think Ma'am?"
"Can you really let us go?"
"Where did Madam say that? I had no intention of dealing with you. I have always advocated win-win cooperation. Your son will also be my son from now on, so I will give him the post of county magistrate, Lord Jinjidong." The seat will also be his."
Anon nodded, a little heavy.
She felt tired, stuffed, and extremely sad.
Married into Jinjidong at the age of fourteen, just one year after marriage, her father-in-law died, and her husband was paralyzed. She was wronged and served her husband for three years, and after her husband died, she struggled for another three years.
She has walked all the way with great hardships.
At this moment, she finally collapsed. The village left by her father-in-law and her husband failed to survive, and even her son was forced to accept the thief as his father.
She married Qin Lang as a concubine for Dongzhai, but those people in Dongzhai didn't care about her feelings at all in order to save their lives and property.
Her heart, like a bronze mirror, was instantly broken and became fragmented, reflecting countless incomplete fragments.
she cried.
Qin Lang couldn't bear to see this pear-blossoming woman.
He sighed.
At this time, mentioning concubines is indeed a little bit of taking advantage of others, but it's really not for **** or anything. Jinjidong was the first Xidong barbarian tribe he entered the fiefdom, and also the first barbarian tribe that refused to submit, and finally had to resort to force.
So how to deal with this barbarian department is very important.
This is typical.
If you don’t handle it well, then other barbarians will follow suit, and Qin Lang will be very troublesome.
Although Qin Lang defeated Jinjidong, he didn't want to start a massacre. Doing so would be a bad start. Some people from other barbarian tribes might be overwhelmed, but I'm afraid more people will stand on the opposite side.
Qin Lang couldn't attack the villages one by one.
What he needs is cooperation, attachment, and cooperation.
Accepting Mrs. Anong as a concubine and accepting Xiaozhaizi as a son, this is a political marriage, and it is also a signal of Qin Lang's friendliness.
If Jinjidong can turn back first and then attach, then other Xidongs will also be able to feel Qin Lang's strength and sincerity.
The former Qin Lang was not like this, but after staying in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, he gradually became a Tang person. What is the equality of men and women, what is born equal to all living beings, what is freedom, many concepts have changed .
After all, he is a member of the top aristocracy of this era, the ruling class.
Where the buttocks sit, after a long time, the brain will be completely affected by it.
"The differences have been unified, and the chaos is over." Qin Lang comforted her, "I can promise you again, I will never force you, as long as you are not willing, I will not make rude demands, this marriage is only for Outsiders see."
Mrs. Anong wiped away her tears, looked at Qin Lang with red eyes and sneered, "Come on, you men always say such high-sounding, never forcing anything, will I believe it? I'm not some ignorant little lady , save your words for others to tell later. Since I have agreed to your request, I will officially become your concubine when the etiquette is completed. It is only natural for a woman to serve a man, and I will not do that One set of people behind the other."
"I, Anon, do what I say, and I hope you can keep what you say."
"I, Qin Lang, always keep my word. If you don't believe me, if you ask around, everyone knows everyone. People in Chang'an call me Honest Saburo."
Anong was a little annoyed by Qin Lang's witty words, "Are all the noble sons of the Chang'an Imperial Capital like you? You can kill hundreds of people in a breeze, and your face is not red and your heart is beating?"
"Well, it's almost the same. There are millions of families in Huanghuang, the emperor of Chang'an. What kind of big scene has never been seen. The year before last, Turkic Jieli Khan led 300,000 cavalry to the south and approached the Great Wall. Now, my Tang Dynasty All six groups are attacking Jieli in the north, directly attacking Khan Court. You said, killing a few hundred people, what's so exciting about it?"
Anon shook his head.
"I have never been to Chang'an. If I have the opportunity, I must go to Chang'an City to see how magnificent Chang'an is with millions of homes. By the way, I will go to see your princess wife."
"You can't see her, she is only six years old now." Qin Lang smiled wryly.
A Nong was surprised, "Only six years old?"
"Well, six years old."
"Is your marriage with the princess also the political marriage you mentioned?"
"I guess."
Qin Yong led his troops to follow Anong to the gate first, and after closing the hundreds of gates, he was terrified at the end. After seeing Mrs. Anong and hearing her say that she had surrendered to the Duke of Wei, he was relieved.
No matter what, there is no need to fight.
Door off switch surrenders.
Nanzhai surrendered.
Jinjidong Village and Qingshandong Village opened their doors one after another and surrendered.
Mrs. Anong withdrew Menban and Dongding of Nanbeizhai to the mountain. Qin Lang sent troops to take over, and Menguan was officially renamed Zhennanguan.
After taking over Zhennan Pass, Qin Lang was in no hurry to move on.
After Jinjidong’s resistance, Qin Lang realized that the Xidongmen in the mountains would not surrender willingly, so he decided to send someone to send a letter to summon Zhuxidongman to come to participate in the concubine ceremony between him and Mrs. Anong.
Take this opportunity to show off your strength to these barbarians, and also reason with them and discuss conditions.
Take Jinjidong as an example and show them.
The time has come to golden autumn and October, and the mountainous area has already started to get cold sooner or later. The tens of thousands of horses suspended in Zhennan Pass are not idle, and they are organized to strengthen the pass and open up wasteland.
The original north and south villages were very simple. Qin Lang planned to use rocks to build the walls of the village, dig trenches, plant antler pickets, and erect suspension bridges.
In the north and south villages, markets can also be opened, warehouses, restaurants, teahouses and restaurants, and even brothels and caravans, etc., are welcome to pass by, traders, guests, and common people to rest and trade here, and also attract nearby mountain people to come and trade.
The Zhennanguan City was also expanded, adding barracks, caves for Tibetan soldiers, granaries, etc.
Qin Lang even built additional beacon towers and stone forts on several highlands on both sides of Zhennan Pass.
Jinjidong was seriously injured, and Mrs. Anong was still in charge of the village. After returning, she found a reason to cleanse all the followers and elders who rebelled against Nongzhong that day.
These people follow my brother-in-law, and they are rebellious. Cleaning them up will also strengthen their control, so as to prevent them from recurring civil strife in the future.
The son was sent to Qin Lang in Zhennanguan City. It was Qin Lang's request. He said that he wanted to be close and familiar, so that he could cultivate his relationship first. After a few days, the child would be able to accept him and officially recognize him as his father. .
Anong didn't know that Qin Lang wanted his son to be a hostage, even though he knew it, he couldn't violate it, so he had to send someone to send his son down the mountain.
Men County was formally established, the county seat is in Beizhai, and his son has been appointed as the county magistrate of Men County. This can be regarded as Qin Lang's first promise fulfilled.
The invitation has been sent out, and the concubinage ceremony is scheduled for October 16th, and there is still half a month left.
Mrs. Anong would go down the mountain every few days to see her son and also meet Qin Lang. After getting along a lot, she also felt that this man was not so shameless, and also had more particularities.
Qin Lang asked each village to send people to help repair Guanzhai, reclaim wasteland, repair water canals, build posthouses and roads, but they actually paid back the wages. When Qin Lang decided to pay the wages, and actually paid the wages to Dong Ding.
Everyone was shocked.
I thought it was unpaid labor, who would have thought that it was employment, but the wages were paid quite well.
Anong approached Qin Lang and said it was useless.
As a result, Qin Lang said, one size is equal to one size.
His Wu'an Prefecture will be a place where rules are followed.
The laws are strict, the taxes are clear, and there will be no mess.
Qin Lang countered and urged Anong to compile household registers for naturalization as soon as possible, and clear the land, etc., saying that he would take the lead in implementing the two-tax law in Menxian County, and that grain should be collected by the mu, and divided into mu. He also said that one-third of the income from the two taxes would be To Mrs. Anong's son, because as the county magistrate, he is actually a vassal of Qin Lang, the secular governor of Wu'an Prefecture, and one-third of the two taxes of Men County belong to him.
The remaining two-thirds were handed over to Wu'an Prefecture, and Qin Lang divided it into three parts, one part belonged to himself, one part was handed over to the state treasury, and the remaining part was kept in the state government, and the state government had to return his share for three more. One-third is given to the county government as office expenses.
Of course, the industrial and commercial city tax, mine tax, salt, tea and wine tax, etc., other than the two taxes, are collected by the state government, and then these taxes are collected from the territory of Men County, and then one-third will be returned to Men In the county, Anong's son can get two-thirds, and one-third is kept in the county government as public funds.
This is probably how the money is divided.
Of course, there must be some specific differences in details.
After Mrs. Anong understood, she felt that if Qin Lang could really do this, it would be really good.
"Everything can be established without forewarning, and if there is no rule, there will be no success. I like to put the rules first, and make the rules before doing things. Do you understand?"
Madam Anong nodded. This woman seemed to have recovered from the accident, and her face regained its brilliance. Even after using the perfume, rouge and jewelry that Qin Lang gave her, it became bright and moving.
"It's getting late, you should go back to the mountain early!" Qin Lang said.
Anon sat there without moving, "I'm not going back tonight."
"Um?"
"You don't mind if I stay and serve you at night?"
Qin Lang carefully looked at Mrs. Anong, did he feel that she had specially dressed up today, with perfume and rouge, and even added so many jewelry, and even her clothes were Han skirts.
This is prepared.
Qin Lang chuckled, "Are you sincerely voluntary? I don't want to make things difficult for others!"
Anong was a little ashamed, "If you don't want to, I won't force you to do anything."
"Haha, of course!" Qin Lang stretched out his hand and embraced her.
She reluctantly resisted for a while, and then half pushed into Qin Lang's arms, but her body was still a little stiff.
