The ship was about to dock. The boat owner had notified all passengers to start packing their belongings, and also notified the passengers in the house that the ship would not dock again before arriving in Lancheng.

The month-long itinerary is finally coming to an end, and the people who are tired of the journey are very happy to hear the news.

Bai Heran was also happy. She was wary of her for thirty days and finally could take a breath.

But it was only temporarily suspended, because Lancheng was ashore, and the activities of Gebu secretly whistle would be more frequent and rampant.

Of course, the real rampant one is not in Lancheng, but in Ningzhou Prefecture, which is further northwest of Lancheng. If you go further, it is the bronze city of Gebu and Luoye.

They were going to get ashore in Lancheng, and instead took land to pass through Lancheng through Ningzhou Prefecture, arrived at Tongcheng, and finally left the border from Tongcheng and entered Gebu.

In the evening, after dinner, people gathered on the open space on the deck and chatted. As they chatted, they came to Tongcheng.

Someone said: "The prefect of Tongcheng took a new concubine a few months ago. It is said that she was a peerless beauty. She was so beautiful that the prefect of Tongcheng was fascinated by just one look. She decided to include it in the mansion on the spot.

Originally, this is nothing, a beautiful lady and gentleman are good! But it is said that after the concubine entered the mansion, the prefect of Tongcheng was fascinated by the concubine. He would do whatever the concubine said and would do whatever she asked him to do. He had no opinion at all. Even when the case was opened, he would go back to the back house to ask the concubine whether the case should be tried like this.

If the concubine nodded, he would continue to interrogate. If the concubine shook her head, he would ask how to interrogate."

Some people from Tongcheng nodded after hearing this, saying that it was true, and they had also heard of this.

Because the prefect, Lord Kang, never shy away from others when he heard his concubine's words, it made everyone know.

Someone also said: "It's nothing to be afraid of a wife. If the concubine is wholeheartedly considering Tongcheng and her man, then Lord Kang will be obedient.

But I always feel that something is not right, such as the relationship between Tongcheng and Gebu.

Although there were also exchanges between the two sides since then, for example, merchants with files can be allowed to leave, or they can be allowed to walk and operate in Tongcheng.

All of these are in line with the laws of the country, and nothing is wrong.

But since the concubine entered the mansion, Prefect Kang had suddenly opened a deal to Gebu as if he had been in a bad mood.

Now the Gebu people who travel to Tongcheng no longer need to check their identities as strictly as before, and they don’t even have to go to the government to prepare files. They even have to waive the two taels of silver they paid when they entered the city. They can walk around and buy or sell them in Tongcheng."

"There are also people of Gebu who marry a woman from Tongcheng!"

The person next to me answered, "When I left Tongcheng, I heard someone joke that I didn't dare to talk to people casually when I walked on the street, because you didn't know whether the person standing in front of you was from Dongqin or Gebu.

It is probably even more rampant now. If this continues, the Tongcheng will be occupied by Gebu."

Someone retorted: "You are so evil. You can reach that level in just a few months?

I have not been to Tongcheng yet. This time I accompanied my father to visit relatives. I dare not go after you say that."

The man patted his thigh at that time: "You really don't say that I'm wrong. It's just a few months. I'll do it... I'll go back and forth, and I'll live in the Zhang family for a month. Well, I'll be in three months! I'll be in three months, and there may be a big change again.

Because when I left Tongcheng, the prefect took a concubine for only a month, and you can imagine how fast the change was."

“It’s such a big change in one month?

Then will you be about to make a big splash in the past three months after you come out?”

"Who knows! But this is not entirely a bad thing. Gebu produces beauties. Gebu's beauties look different from our Dong Qin. They all have deep eyebrows, big eyes, high noses, and all have double eyelids.

So I thought, maybe I could marry a wife from Gebu when I went back, so that the children I gave birth to will look good in the future!"

Hearing him say this, people started to joking again, and at the same time they talked more about the appearance of the Gebu people. They just wanted to get something new, either marrying a Gebu woman or marrying their daughter to Gebu.

Bai Heran also stood on the deck with Moyu to listen. The more he heard, his eyebrows became tighter and tighter. There were women among the speakers, and there were also those standing beside her. So she asked, "Is the concubine married by the prefect who is also a Gebu man?"

The people who heard this shook their heads, "No, many people have seen each other on the day of their wedding. They should not be Gebu people, and they are our Dongqin women, and they still have the appearance of the Central Plains. They are indeed beautiful."

"No, I have never seen such a beautiful girl in my life. It's so beautiful."

People's topics were touched on the appearance of the concubine again. Bai Heran didn't say much. He whispered: "Is it just a coincidence to marry that concubine?

After all, no one has any evidence that the concubine had the idea of ​​open communication with Gebu, and that concubine was from Central Plains, so there is no reason to interfere with such a thing?"

Bai Heran didn't think so: "There are no such coincidences in the world? Moreover, I have never heard of Tongcheng changing the prefect. Since it has always been that prefect, why did this happen before, but after the concubine?"

"If the lady guessed right, why did the concubine do this?"

Mo Yu was puzzled, "It is understandable to open trade, and it is understandable to allow intermarriage, but trade is open to this level, intermarriage is also connected to the streets full of Gebu people, which is not right.

Why do I always feel that I need to be assimilated slowly? If I continue like this, after a few years, the Tongcheng City will not be the world of Gebu people. This is much more than fighting a war."

Moyu said it made his back feel cold, and suddenly realized that he might have guessed a big conspiracy.

Bai Heran cast a thumbs-up look at her, proving that Mo Yu's guess was correct.

That's right, it is assimilation. To achieve homogeneity between the two countries through exchanges and intermarriages, this is only the initial purpose. The consequences in the long run will develop like Qingzhou and Tanglan Kingdom. When the two countries intermarriage, there will be more and more sons-in-law in Tongcheng. Similarly, Gebu will marry more and more Tongcheng wives and give birth to more and more common children.

There is no need to fight this place. As long as it continues to develop like this, Tongcheng and Gebu will no longer be separated from each other for ten years.

This is a very terrible phenomenon. The most terrifying thing is that this phenomenon is intentional. It is not the result of adaptation under the development of the times, like Qingcheng and Tanglan.

Moreover, Gebu is not Tang Lan. Gebu has ambitions and has taken action, so it is impossible for Dong Qin and Gebu to be friends.

Such openness and intermarriage are a very dangerous signal for Dongqin. They must be stopped quickly, otherwise they will spread out of Tongcheng like a plague, and the scope will expand wider.

People's discussions about Tongcheng have always revolved around the concubine of the prefect of Tongcheng, but after all, no one knows where the concubine came from and why I have never heard of anyone having such a beautiful girl before.

At this time, someone interjected another mouth, a woman holding a half-old child. She said, "Tongcheng belongs to Ningzhou Prefecture. I don't know what happened there, but when it comes to taking concubines, I remembered the prefect Wei, the prefect of our Lancheng.

It was a coincidence that Lord Wei also took a new concubine a few months ago, and it is said that he is also as beautiful as a fairy.

He is powerful and powerful. He is in his early forties and can still hold a beautiful concubine of less than twenty."

The woman shook her head as she said.

As soon as she mentioned this, the Lancheng people chatting together became excited, and they all said that they knew about this matter. Someone carefully added: "Mr. Wei's new concubine entered the mansion, which was more glorious than marrying the wife of the main wife. She carried it into the mansion by eight sedan chairs. For this reason, the guests were also feasted for three days. It is said that the gift silver from the Wei Mansion was piled up. In the end, they had to open all the idle houses and serve as warehouses to deposit silver."

"It's not just the grand banquet on the day of taking concubines. Since I got my new concubine, I will have to have a banquet for guests after three or two days.

There are all kinds of reasons for holding a banquet, such as the beauty is in a good mood today and needs to hold a banquet. For example, the beauty is in a bad mood today and needs to hold a banquet.

There are also flowers that the beauty likes bloom and has to hold a banquet. When the beauty likes cats, she has to hold a banquet.

In short, all kinds of banquets are related to beauties, and all kinds of banquets are required to be invited to all directions. At least all the gentry and wealthy people in the Lancheng area must be present, and they must give gifts when they arrive."

"I've heard of this, too."

Someone was sucked into resonance, and he said, "That's not a banquet, it's simply a fortune. The gentlemen and wealthy people complained about it, but there was no way. Unless they didn't do business in Lancheng, they could only pledge their donations."

"Yes, just call donation. This is what the gentry and wealthy people who were forced to pay the money said in private. They all said that they were donating coffin books to Lord Wei. When will it be enough? Lord Wei closed his eyes and kicked his legs, and then he would get smoke."

Someone asked Bai Heran: "Auntie, you are also from Lancheng. Have you heard of this?"

Bai Heran shook his head, "My family is from the county and I don't usually go to the city, so I really haven't heard of it."

"Oh, then you can watch a lot of fun. Lord Wei almost bought all the land in Lancheng to sell it."

"Why is this?"

Someone was curious, "Does Lord Wei lack money?"

"have no idea."

People shook their heads, "But there should be no shortage. After all, it is Lancheng Prefecture, how could it be short of money?

But who can still think of the money being too much?

Of course, the more, the better.

Alas, I came out before the New Year, I don’t know how Lancheng is now,” someone from another place who went to Lanzhou to visit relatives would not understand: “Did the court ignore this kind of money?”
