Chastity Layman

When Qin Lang woke up, the maidservant of Silla told him that Geng Guogong and his son were visiting and they were in the front hall.

In Wei Guogong's small flower hall, Qin Lang's righteous brother Qin Yongzheng and the old horse head A Huang were entertaining Feng An and his son on his behalf. When he came in, Feng An was hugging Qin Lang's son Qin Jun, who didn't recognize his birth. He actually giggled with Feng An there.

"This kid is so handsome!"

Feng An smiled and said to him that he didn't want to let go while holding the child.

"Wei Gong, your Dalang is very close to me. I like this child. In Lingnan, Zhi Dai gave me a smart and lovely granddaughter, who pleases me as much as this child. I take the liberty, I don't know if I can Get married with Duke Wei?"

Feng An hugged Qin Jun and made faces at him.

Feng Zhidai and his younger brother Zhi Dai were standing by the side. Feng Zhidai, who was known as the Little Overlord of Lingnan, was tall and burly, and he seemed to be two people with the dark and thin Feng An.

He didn't smile much either, and it seemed that his father's proposal to marry his daughter to Qin Lang was none of his business.

"It's my first daughter, ranked fourth, born of my first wife, the Ning family." Zhi Dai added.

Feng An told Qin Lang that this Ning family was the daughter of Ning Changzhen and sister of Ning Ju.

Feng Ning and Chen, the three great Han families in Lingnan, have actually always been married to each other. The Feng family and the Xian family are married for generations, but they are also married to the Ning family for generations, and the two families marry each other.

Zhi Dai's wife, Ning, is actually his successor, and his first wife was also Xian, who later died of illness, so he remarried Ning as his successor.

And Ning Daoming of the Ning family married Feng Xuan's daughter.

Therefore, the relationship between the two is very complicated.

Qin Lang smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down and serve tea.

Feng Zhidai presented the gift list, "I hope that Duke Wei will not dislike some of the local relics from his hometown in Lingnan!"

Qin Lang took it and glanced at it, and found that it was really some Lingnan local products, but these local products are not cheap, such as ivory rhinoceros horn coral, Lingnan's own gold bricks and silver pancakes, various spices, and even Hepu Daquan produced by Ning's family. beads.

The back unit is also stunning.

For example, these South Pearls are not two strings of two per string, but one bucket of extra-large pearls, two buckets of high-quality pearls, and five buckets of second-class pearls.

Pearl gave Badou directly.

Several boxes of golden bricks and silver cakes were also given, and there was even a load of gold sand.

Qin Lang's teeth felt a little sore when he saw the word "carrying weight". He didn't know whether the gold sand was sand-like gold, or the gold placer with low gold content produced in the south of the Lingnan area, but even if it was gold placer, it at least contained gold, otherwise What is it called gold.

The density of gold is so high, a load of alluvial gold is worth a lot of money.

This is the financial resources of the emperor.

"Mr. Geng, I dare not accept this."

"Zhi Dai is in Chang'an, the capital of the capital. Thanks to Duke Wei's care, otherwise, this idiot would not know how many troubles he would have caused. Besides, Mr. Wei had a lot of support before, and my Feng family has also made a lot of money in cooperation with sucrose. These are just reciprocal courtesy, I hope you don't dislike them."

Feng An also said that he heard that the imperial court was going to implement the system of world-appointed governors, and that Qin Lang had taken the lead in obtaining the right to choose a fiefdom. Qin Lang chose a place between Jiaozhou and Qinzhou and bestowed Wu'an Prefecture. He was very happy about it.

"In the future, I, Old Feng, will be able to be neighbors with Mr. Wei, and Mr. Wei will have to take care of him in the future."

Qin Lang chuckled.

"In the future, when my Qin family arrives in Annan, I will actually have to rely more on Geng Gong and the Feng family. In Lingnan, who can't give the Feng family some face?"

At this time, Feng Zhidai said, "Zhi Dai is willing to promise the little girl Sizhen to Wei Gong Dalang, I wonder if Wei Guo can accept it?"

The father and son of the Feng family actively wanted to marry the Qin family.

The death of Ning Changzhen made Feng An and his son sleepless last night. Although the emperor sent someone to announce the reward, they still agreed that the death of Ning Daoming and Ning Changzhen should be caused by the court of Chang'an. The hand was most likely the work of the Zhenfusi.

Although we have already received news that the emperor issued a decree for Ning Changzhen's son Ning Ju to attack Duke Kang and governor of Qinzhou, but we have also heard that the imperial court is going to reduce the territory of the Ning family.

In any case, this time the Ning family paid a bloody price for their betrayal, which was extremely heavy.

Although Feng An thought that he had always been respectful to the imperial court, this time he was summoned again, and the imperial court had no reason to deal with him, but with the lessons learned from his uncle and nephew Ning Changzhen, Feng An was still very cautious.

Feng Zhidai pointed out that Qin Lang and his son are extremely popular in the court. If they can make friends with the Qin family, they may find a strong support in the court. Especially when he heard that Qin Lang's land was between Jiaozhou and Qinzhou, he thought that the Qin family would also be willing to make friends with the Feng family.

"Jun'er is still so young!" Qin Lang said with a smile.

Feng An hugged Qin Jun like a grandson, and refused to let go, "Wei Gong, if this child is born, my old Feng would not dare to propose a marriage. We people in remote places are also somewhat self-aware. I just really like Jun Lang. , so I am bold and presumptuous."

"Gong Gong's words are serious. Although the Feng family in Lingnan moved south to Lingnan for 200 years, it can be said that they were also famous in the north before."

Two foxes, one old and one young, chatted there for a while, before Qin Lang let go and agreed to the marriage.

Father Feng An was very happy.

Feng An, in particular, blushed with a rare smile, and even said on the spot, "I know the rules of famous families in the Central Plains. For marriages with poor family status, the lower family should pay compensation to the higher family to compensate for the difference in family status. In this regard, my Feng family will not break the rules, and I, Feng An, are willing to take out a thousand households of Kunlun slaves, plus a thousand households of Liao slaves, as well as ten ships and ten thousand bolts of silk cloth as compensation for the family."

"Of course, my Feng family will also prepare a generous dowry according to the rules of the Central Plains!"

"Mr. Geng, I don't dare to accept this compensation. The Qin family is not better than the Feng family?"

Feng An said very modestly, "We are southern barbarians, how dare we compare with the sages and sages of Confucius. The Qin family is known as the Wanshi Qin family, and it has been passed down for more than two thousand years."

The Feng family insisted on paying back their family's money, and they couldn't accept it.

Of course, Feng An didn't mean that those with a lot of money had no place to live, and those with many slaves had no place to live in. Qin Lang knew that the Feng family had more than 20,000 slaves, but his family had a great career.

Feng An is showing his sincerity.

In order to avoid Qin Lang's repentance, Feng An even asked Lao Huang for a pen and paper, and wrote a marriage contract on the spot to settle the matter.

After the marriage certificate was exchanged, Feng An cherished it in his arms.

His tone towards Qin Lang was less polite, but more cordial.

"I'll take care of you, and I'll call you Saburo from now on."

"That's right, you are an elder." Qin Lang said with a smile, his son has decided on his granddaughter as his fiancée, so of course he has to call Feng An an elder.

Old Feng is very pleased to be able to make friends with Qin Lang, the most popular minister in the court. Qin Lang is a political participant, the prince's teacher, the emperor's son-in-law, and is deeply favored by the emperor. And Qin Lang's father, Qin Qiong, is now the number one in the military, and the only Sangong in the court.

With these two men as backup in the court, Feng An could finally sleep peacefully without worrying about not coming back after sleeping.

"Sanlang, look at your Majesty's title of governor this time, can I, old Feng, also get a spot and earn a title of governor for the Feng family?" Feng An asked.

Looking at the dry old man, Qin Lang couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Geng, do you still need this?"

"This is good, this is the best." Feng An said seriously, although the Feng family is said to be the Emperor of Lingnan, but can the Emperor of the Earth beat Chang'an's True Dragon Emperor?

It was okay when the Central Plains was in chaos, but once it becomes as strong as it is now, the local emperors in Lingnan will not be able to eat well and sleep. If they can get a world title, it means that their past separatist status has been recognized by the current court again.

Even if you only have the title of one state.

Feng An is the kind of decisive person, he knows that only what can be sacrificed can be rewarded.

Qin Lang admired the old man very much.

Ordinary people, even veterans like Ning Changzhen, just overturned because of a little greed. Why does the Ning family have to fight the central court every dynasty?

It's all because every morning when I have a little spare time, I want to come and rectify Xia Lingnan.

For example, making Lingnan naturalized to pay taxes, dispatching officials, and even garrisoning and other actual ruling actions, but every time the Central Plains court had any signs of this, the Ning family would stir up the sluts to make trouble, and in serious cases, they would simply raise their own flags to rebel.

In short, in the end, the imperial court often sent troops to fight against the imperial court. The Ning family led many powerful chieftains and scumbags to fight against the imperial court. Taking advantage of the geographical advantage and the hot weather in the south of the Lingnan, it was difficult for the imperial court to make a quick decision. After a long time, the court had no choice but to compromise.

So the imperial court promised to give up taxation, naturalization and garrison. The Ning family is still the actual emperor, so the Ning family surrendered on the table and continued to pay tribute.

The Ning family played this game with the court many times, and they won every time.

But this time when he played the game with Datang again, he capsized.

The Ning family still didn't want to give up the actual separatist power, but who would have expected that Datang would not be comparable to those emperors of the Southern Dynasty.

Ning Chang was really reluctant to give up any power, so he lost his life in the end.

Feng An is good at judging the situation and observing the overall situation. The key to his becoming a Lingnan tumbler is that he follows the trend and never goes against the current.

The imperial court wanted to divide the more than 20 prefectures controlled by the Feng family and the Xian family into several prefectures. Feng An was very obedient.

He backed down step by step, not turning his face easily.

Is it enough to seal off the state for a whole world? Qin Lang actually didn't believe it, he believed even more that Feng An was advancing by retreating, and was testing the bottom line of the court.

"This time the imperial court re-divided Lingnan, didn't Feng and Xian's family also get the five prefectures? This is no different from Shifeng, isn't it?" Qin Lang laughed.

"Not to mention the five states, even if you can enter His Majesty's list of world-honored heroes this time, you have to be enshrined in one state, and my Feng family is satisfied." Feng An said.

Qin Lang thought to himself, what you said, if your Feng family is satisfied, what about the Xian family? Don't you have to give the world a state?

Besides, your family actually controls five states now, so the imperial court only seals off one state? After all, the Feng and Xian families controlled more than 20 prefectures before. Although many prefectures have been directly reduced to counties, after all, the Feng and Xian families are the largest separatist forces in Lingnan.
