Chapter 471 Warning
On the Baiteng River.
On the deck of the Mulan boat, Anong was reluctant to let go, and refused to let go of Qin Lang's hand.
"Take Anon to Chang'an." She looked up at Qin Lang.
Qin Lang stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair, "Men County can't be left unattended, I'll bring the letter to Beijing first this time, and see if I can arrange for him to study in the Chongxian Hall, if it doesn't work, I can also arrange to study in the Hongwen Hall .Staying in the capital for a few years will be good for him in the future."
Anong nodded, she knew that Qin Lang was kind to their mother and son, and she had already agreed in Taiping City that her son would follow Sanlang to Chang'an, and she would stay and assist Sanlang's sworn brother Qin to manage Wu'an Prefecture well with them.
But when it’s time to say goodbye, I’m reluctant to part again.
Three months, whether it is long or not, is not short.
Compared to her ex-husband, Young Master Nong, it was only here in Qin Lang that Anong really felt what is affection, what is love, what is caring, and what is man. When I first married Young Master Nong, I was still young, and I didn't understand those things. After having children, I found that he was as rude and savage as other men, and there was no problem with him without comparison.
But later her husband drank and beat others, all kinds of suspicions, suspicions and insults, and the man she coveted made her feel exhausted. She resisted Qin Lang's appearance at first.
Thought he was no different from any other man who had her idea.
But the three months of being together day and night made her change her heart slowly. At first, she just followed each other in desperation, thinking about her son and the village. But who would have expected that he would still meet such a man.
"I really can't bear to leave you."
"I will come back. Even if I don't come back for a while, I can send someone to pick you up when this place is safe."
"How can I live without you in the future?" She sighed. He hugged Qin Lang and refused to let go.
"My sworn brother and the others will take care of you. Even the Yang family in Langshan will never dare to cross the border to provoke the Nong family. Last time I also beheaded Yang Jichu, and Yang Jiyuan also told you about Yang Jichu's murder of the Nong family. Apologize, let the past go."
Yang Jichu's death can also be regarded as a temporary end to the conflict between the Nong and Yang families. Qin Lang said that the past is over, and Yang Jiyuan and Anong nodded in front of him.
But now that Qin Lang is leaving, Anong is still a little worried that the Yang family will retaliate.
"They dare not mess around."
Anong said jealously, "Why did you bring Chongniang to Beijing?"
"Because Men County still wants you to be the master, I don't feel relieved to hand it over to others for the time being, and you also don't feel relieved to hand over your son's family business to other people?" Qin Lang asked with a smile.
"Go back!"
"I'll send you a ride to Zhennanguan, and I will go back to the village first, and stay with Cunxin for a few more days along the way." Mrs. Anong was reluctant to part with Qin Lang and her son, the two dearest in their lives. Important men would stay away from her. She really wanted to abandon everything here and just follow them northward.
"That kid is so happy to hear that he can come to Beijing with me, how can he be so reluctant, he really has no conscience." Qin Lang laughed.
Anong smiled wryly. The young child already wanted to leave the nest early to explore the outside world, but he didn't know how much the mother was reluctant to part.
The boat goes up the Baiteng River.
Wubao, Xidong, those Wuzhu savage kings all came to pay their respects.
They all changed to Han family clothes, put on green official robes, and very respectfully invited Qin Lang to go to them, Qin Lang hurried on his way, just to comfort them with kind words.
Of course, as one of the benefits, Qin Lang allowed these attached barbarian kings and dock masters to send some of their children to Beijing with Qin Lang, not only to worship the emperor, but also to find a way out for them in Beijing. Or arrange for them to study in the Imperial College, or arrange for them to be guards in the Imperial Army.
For these barbarians, it is indeed a great thing that their children can see the sky and even settle down in Chang'an.
Everyone was grateful to Qin Lang.
Every family is eager to send more children, direct children, and of course they have to choose capable stewards, servants, maidservants, guards, etc.
It is necessary to bring a lot of gold, silver and native products, etc., for expenses on the road and to Beijing, as well as management in Beijing.
Naturally, the one for Qin Lang and the one for the emperor are indispensable.
Qin Lang accepted this gift without hesitation.
Now he is the governor of Wu'an Prefecture, these people are already his vassals, so accepting the tribute from the vassals is nothing, he doesn't covet this thing, he just accepts this kind of relationship.
All the way to Lang Son.
This king of Lang Son is as humble as a slave.
Qin Lang smiled slightly. The old guy's gesture was too humble, which made him feel that this performance was a bit exaggerated.
It is estimated that the old guy must be very happy to hear that he is in a hurry to leave.
"New Year's Eve, why is the lord leaving in such a hurry?"
Qin Lang didn't even get off the boat, he just stood at the head of the bridge condescendingly looking down at this powerful old guy, and said calmly, "The truth is coming and going, do you still have to report to Duke Yang for instructions?"
"Don't dare."
Yang Jiyuan's head lowered a lot again, almost as if he was lying down.
"Get up, you are the Sima of Wu'an Prefecture and the magistrate of Langshan County. You don't need to act like Qin Lang's slave. You are my vassal, not my slave. Remember this. .If I don’t understand etiquette like this again in the future, I will have to replace someone from the Yang family as the county magistrate.”
Yang Jiyuan got up and stood there without saying a word.
"I want to tell you some good news. Your Majesty has already approved the appointment of the Viscount of Lang Son County for you. From now on, you are the official Lang Son County Viscount. Although it is a false title, you are my title. You can enjoy one-third of Lang Son County's taxes if you are a minister of Tweet in the territory, and to be honest, this is a treatment that many real princes may not be able to get, so thank you Your Majesty!"
"Yang Jiyuan thanked His Majesty the Emperor for his grace, and thanked the lord for supporting him." Yang Jiyuan first thanked the north, and then thanked Qin Lang.
"I still say the same thing. I, Qin Lang, always like to make everyone happy when I do things. I don't like to eat alone, and I am not overbearing. As long as your Yang family is loyal to me, my Qin family will never treat you badly. Your majesty misses me. Now, call me to Beijing, hurry up and choose a few children and grandchildren to go to Chang'an with me, I promised you earlier that I will let your Langshan Yang family return to the Central Plains, this is the beginning."
Speaking of this, Qin Lang's tone became a little more serious, "After I leave, I hope you and the Yang family will not mess around, especially what you think about the Nong family, you have to remember that from now on, this place has been It is no longer the barren land with no rules, this is my Qin Lang's feudal land, everyone must abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty and submit to my Qin family's discipline."
"Although the Nong family is a barbarian, they have already been registered and naturalized, so from now on, don't talk about slang or Liao, let alone barbarians and barbarians. From now on, the Nong family will be the people of Wu'an Prefecture, and they will be the people of the Tang Dynasty. Citizens, from now on they will only have one identity, common people of the Tang Dynasty, naturalized Han family citizens."
Yang Jiyuan stood there with his head bowed, knowing in his heart that if the Qin family stayed in Wu'an Prefecture for a day, it would be impossible for his brothers to avenge their revenge, and the Nong family would also be unable to move.
"Yang Jiyuan, remember, the eleven Wubao villages in Wu'an Prefecture have now turned into eleven counties. Within a radius of several hundred miles, every stockade and village, no matter whether they were originally barbarians or immigrant customers It has been registered in my Qin family's account book, there are a total of more than 137,000 people, each of them will be protected by me, Qin Lang from now on."
"Whoever dares to slash at me, Qin Lang's householders, is slashing at me, Qin Lang. No matter how sharp his knife is, if he dares to swing his knife at me, Qin Lang, he is committing suicide. I, Wu An Zhou, this kind of person who betrays and deceives the Lord cannot be tolerated!"
"Yang Jiyuan dare not!" Lao Yang couldn't help but knelt down on one knee again to plead guilty.
This is a very strong warning.
"Get up, I believe you are a smart person, and you won't commit these crimes. I just want you to tell the children and grandchildren of your Yang family through your mouth, so that they will remember what I said today for generations to come."
"I'll take Yang Xu to Chang'an. As for who you want to arrange for the Yang family to go with you, that's up to you. I don't care about the others, but I will arrange for Yang Xu. First, go to the Prince's Brigade Army in the East Palace to do three Five years, and then I will arrange for him to go to the frontier for a few more years of experience. As long as he is willing to work hard and be lucky, ten years later, he will be able to become a captain of the fifth grade Zhechong, and when he dies, he will be a captain of the Twelve Guards General, it shouldn't be difficult."
After hearing this, Yang Jiyuan knelt down to Qin Lang again.
"The Yang family swears allegiance to Duke Wei to the death and the Qin family for generations."
"Hahaha, it's easier to swear than to keep an oath, remember your oath today!"
·······
Qin Lang crossed Langshan but did not enter. He only talked to Yang Jiyuan at the pier of Qiongqi River, and then the Yang family sent a lot of gold and silver goods, and let his son Yang Xu bring his five nephews to Beijing.
It was at Zhennan Pass, Qin Lang accompanied Anong and Nong Cunxin back to Jinjidong, and stayed there overnight.
Riding out of the southern pass of the town, looking back at the pass city, Qin Lang didn't know when he would come to the fiefdom again.
The Nanguan of this town was originally the southern boundary of Yongzhou, but now it was drawn into his Qinlang fiefdom and became the north gate of Wu'an Prefecture.
Hey, forget it, it doesn’t matter if it’s Zhennan Pass or Nantian Gate, it doesn’t matter if it’s called the ancient Mingjie Shouguan or Jinji Pass.
"Father, how far is it from Chang'an, and how many days?"
Nong Cunyi, who had just walked out of Zhennan Pass, did not have the slightest reluctance on his face, but only longing for the prosperous Chang'an in the Central Plains.
Qin Lang turned his head and saw a figure of a woman standing on the Beizhai Tower in Zhennan Pass, reluctant to part.
That is the reluctant Mrs. Anong.
Chong Niang was riding beside Qin Lang, and also saw Mrs. Anong, "Why doesn't Sanlang bring Sister Anong with her?"
"Everyone has their own place, here we need her more!"
