Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 449 The Concubine

Anon heard those voices and roared, "Shut up!"

Everyone shut up.

Qin Lang was still drinking tea, seemingly ignoring their words.

Anon 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, you 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. You choose a day, and we will finish the matter. I 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 ma'am 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 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, congested, and extremely sad.

Married into Jinjidong at the age of 14. Just a year after marriage, her father-in-law died and her husband was paralyzed. She was wronged and served her husband for three years, and then struggled for another three years after her husband died.

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 admit 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 woman with pear blossoms and rain.

He sighed.

At this time, mentioning concubines is indeed taking advantage of others' danger, but it's really not for women's sex 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 it is not handled well, then other barbarians will follow suit, and Qin Lang will be in trouble.

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 that more people will stand on the opposite side.

It is impossible for Qin Lang to 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.

No matter 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."

Anon was a little annoyed by Qin Lang's witty remarks, "Are you like this among the nobles in the Chang'an Imperial Capital? You can kill hundreds of people in a calm manner, and your face doesn't blush and your heart beats?"

"Well, it's almost the same. There are millions of families in Chang'an Emperor Huanghuang. What kind of big scene has I never seen. The year before last, the Turkic Jieli Khan led 30 cavalry to the south and approached the Great Wall. Now, my Tang Liulu Qifa, the Northern Expedition to Jieli, went straight to Khan Court. You said, killing a few hundred people, what is there to be excited about?"

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.

Anon was surprised, "Only six years old?"

"Well, six years old."

"Is your marriage with the princess also the political marriage you mentioned?"

"That's it."

"So you can't help yourself?" Anon suddenly felt that this handsome man was a bit pitiful. It turned out that he was also incapable of controlling himself. She sighed and left.

Qin Yong led the troops to follow Anong to the gate first, and after closing the hundreds of holes, 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.

In any case, there is no need to fight.

The door switch surrenders.

Nanzhai surrendered.

Jinjidong Village and Qingshandong Village opened their doors one after another and surrendered.

Mrs. Anong withdrew Menban and Dongding from 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 experiencing Jinjidong's resistance, Qin Lang realized that the Xidongmen in the mountains would not willingly surrender, 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 savages, and talk to them about the conditions.

Take Jinjidong as an example and show them.

The time has come to golden autumn and October, and the mountainous area has started to get cold sooner or later. The tens of thousands of horses who are suspended at Zhennan Pass are not idle. They are organized to strengthen the pass and open up wasteland.

The original northern and southern 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 northern and southern villages, markets can also be set up, storehouses, restaurants, teahouses and restaurants, and even brothels and caravans, etc., welcome past 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, and granaries.

Qin Lang even built additional beacon towers and stone castles on several highlands on both sides of Zhennan Pass.

Jinjidong was seriously injured, and Mrs. Anong was still in charge of Dongzhai. After returning, she found a reason to clean up all the followers and elders who rebelled against Nongzhong that day.

These people follow my brother-in-law, and they are all 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. .

Didn't Anong know that Qin Lang wanted his son to be a hostage, even though he knew it, he couldn't disobey it, so he could only send someone to send his son down the mountain.

Men County was formally established, the county seat was in Beizhai, and his son had been appointed as the county magistrate of Men County. This was Qin Lang's first promise fulfilled.

The invitations have been sent out, and the concubine ceremony is scheduled for October [-]th, 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 with her a lot, she also felt that this man was not so shameless, and he was more particular about it.

Qin Lang asked each village to send people to help repair Guanzhai, reclaim wasteland, repair canals, build posthouses and roads, but they 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.

Anon approached Qin Lang and said that it was useless.

As a result, Qin Lang said, one size equals one size.

His Wu'an Prefecture will be a place where rules are followed.

The laws are strict, the taxes are clear, and they will never mess around.

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 money.

This is probably how the money is divided.

Of course, there will definitely be some specific differences in details.

After Madam Anong understood, she felt that if Qin Lang could really do this, it would be really good.

"Everything is foregone, nothing is foregone, and there is no rule without rules. I like to put the rules first, and make the rules before doing things. Do you understand?"

Mrs. Anong nodded, this woman seemed to have recovered from the accident, her face was radiant again, and even after using the perfume, rouge and jewelry that Qin Lang gave her, she became bright and charming.

"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."

"Ok?"

"You don't mind if I stay to 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 willing? I don't want to force others to make things difficult for me!"

Anon was a little ashamed, "If you don't want to, I won't force you to do anything."

"Haha, of course I would!" Qin Lang stretched out his hand and embraced her.

She subconsciously resisted for a while, and then half-pushed into Qin Lang's arms, but her body was still a little stiff.
