Chapter 895 The vassal of the vassal
Qin Lang returned to his fiefdom. Although he had only passed by and could only stay for a short time, the old vassals of the Qin family in Wu'anzhou had arrived early and were all coming to pay their respects to the lord.
The dock was unable to receive Qin Lang, and was still a little puzzled.
Fortunately, Anon, the Governor's Office, quickly informed everyone that Duke Wei had officially met the meeting tomorrow morning, so everyone rushed home and prepared their own preparations.
As soon as the fourth update of the country was heard, the rich and wealthy houses in Taiping City were brightly lit. The fiefdom of Wu'an Prefecture was established for several years, but Qin Lang was gone for many years. Now he finally came, so of course everyone rushed to pay their respects.
When Qin Lang planned Taiping City, he adopted the design of inner and outer cities and east-west wing cities. In addition, the dock area that was not included in the city wall and Wei Gongbao in the north of the city, the entire city was actually designed with three floors inside and outside.
The innermost city is Yacheng, also known as Yacheng, Wu'an Prefecture Governor's Office, Wu'an Prefecture two yamen offices together with one sign. There are also many yamen institutions such as Taiping County yamen, Taiping Port Maritime Warehouse Department, etc., all of which are located in Yacheng, and there is a dedicated Yajun garrison in Yacheng.
The outer city is also called Luocheng, but is actually a residential area and a commercial circle. The outer city has Taiping East City, which is set up in Chang'an East City, and is a large market. There are also homesteads specially assigned to officials, vassals and knights in Wu'an Prefecture for them to build houses. Although many knights and vassals each have their own fiefdoms, considering that they often come to Taiping City to do business, so they reserved residential land.
In addition to the residences of Dongcheng and noble people, there are several schools in Dongcheng.
In the outer west city, there is Xishi City, which is also called Fanfang Fan City. It is a residential area and Hu merchant market planned for Hu merchants. It is unified in one area, easy to manage and convenient for trading of foreign goods.
The wharf area is also called the port area. It is also a warehouse area, a warehouse area, and a workshop concentration area. A large number of handicraft and commercial workshops are concentrated in this area. Although it is not protected by the city wall, there are also walls, yard gates, etc., and special patrol teams, which are actually very safe.
In comparison, the North City is actually the smallest. The North City is called Wei Gong Fort, which is actually Qin Lang's mansion. Although there is also a Governor's Mansion in Yacheng, it is equivalent to an official residence. The Wei Gong Fort in the north of the city is completely Qin Lang's private residence.
Although it is not big, it is actually a very majestic and sturdy castle with an independent defense system and very strong. It is small. Compared with Taiping City, this Weigong Fort covers an area of 300 acres and has an actual construction area of more than 100 acres. It has more than 300 rooms and more than a dozen courtyards, which is much larger than the 200 acres of Weigong Mansion, which occupies one quarter of a quarter of a yard in Pingkangfang, Chang'an.
Especially because it is located in Lingnan and Qin Lang is the lord here, the castle is built very high, not because of various restrictions in Chang'an City, and there are no tall buildings.
Standing on the top floor of the main fort, you can even see the entire Taiping City and the port at a glance, and you can even see the coast more than ten miles away clearly.
The entire Taiping City is an integrated planning and has been under construction and is constantly expanding, because the open space has been planned in advance and channels have been preset. Although the entire city has always been a large construction site, it does not feel that messy.
Because Qin Lang's Wei Gong Fort was not around, the progress was even slower. At present, only the main castle building has been completed, and many places have not been completed.
However, it does not prevent Qin Lang from living.
In the outer east city, a group of retainers got up early. It was not yet dawn and the night breeze was slightly cool, so it was very comfortable. This urban area was filled with luxury houses, and the homesteads reserved at the beginning were very large, with the smallest piece of five acres, most of which were ten acres.
A ten-acre house, a five-acre garden, a pool of water and a thousand bamboos.
I have to say that Qin Lang had a relatively thoughtful consideration at the beginning, which was a benefit for his retainers, but it was relatively easy to do. After all, when planning, the entire Taiping was just a fishing village and a wasteland was not worth a lot of money.
In recent years, the retainers either worked in the state or guarded the territory. They were very attentive to the residential land of Qin Langdi in Taiping City. Each family spent a lot of energy and money to build the residential land. Now, the residential area of Shangdongcheng has become the richest aristocratic area in the entire Taiping.
Houses, whether they are like the style of Chang'an, the appearance of Luoyang, or the style of Guangling, Yangzhou, are all very beautifully built.
It also adds a scene to Taiping City.
On summer nights, servants from each family held lanterns with their respective titles and ministries written on them. They lit the whale oil candles with specialty products from Wu'anzhou.
Wu'an is still a martial artsman. Although there are few horses in Lingnan, most of these vassal knights and warriors from the Central Plains ride tall horses, all of which are from Hetao, Qinghai and even Khitan, as well as BMWs from Kangju, Dayuan, Western Regions.
No one rides a car, and no one rides a cow or a mule. It is impossible to have a sedan chair. In Chang'an, only those old ministers with high moral character can receive the emperor's special order to sit, otherwise who dares to carry it away?
The doors of mansions opened, and vassals rode on horseback, gathered with their servants on the street, and greeted each other when they met neighbors.
This scene is somewhat like the scene of officials in Chang'an City when they were attending the court.
Wu'an Prefecture has developed well in recent years, and the feudal system has basically stabilized. Most of them are from the Wu'an Prefecture knights, who were born in the family of the nobles of the Central Plains. Now they have saved up a family business here, and no one is willing to give up these things easily.
Previously, everyone was fighting the barbarians in the north, but the emperor ordered them to take away some places on the east and north sides of Wu'an Prefecture. Many knights were unable to think about it for a time and spent so much effort to expand their territory and rob them from the barbarians. Now the imperial court said he would take them away and it was not easy for anyone to feel good.
But after Qin Lang spoke, this matter must be followed and there is no negotiation.

Duke Wei made a speech and gave some compensation measures, which finally made everyone reluctantly accept.
This time, Qin Lang passed by the fiefdom, and everyone came to pay their respects. In fact, they still wanted to complain to Qin Lang in person and ask carefully if this matter would be repeated again. Everyone worked hard, and no one expected that a decree from Chang'an would let everyone's hard work be wasted.
Especially now that Juchengman has been beaten away, Zuoximan has completely resigned and changed land to the land. The court has changed its position and established a chief minister and then enfeoffed the royal family and the heroes of the royal family to be enfeoffed Yongzhen in the next life. This made some retainers feel that the court is suspected of picking fruits.
I am particularly worried that I will gain a better position.
The court gave Wei Gongping and Barbarian achievements, so he specially recommended that the four sons be enfeoffed, and each of them was enfeoffed in Wu'an Prefecture. This was a bad sign. Everyone still believed in Wei Gong more and was worried that such a feudal would make the future of Wu'an Prefecture unpredictable at that time.
When fighting the barbarians, everyone is very brave and willing to work hard. When building a fiefdom territory, they are willing to invest a lot of money. Now all the family businesses are hard-won and want to get a promise from Qin Lang.
Speaking of which, we are actually all people of the Tang Dynasty, but since the Central Plains went south, the illegitimate sons of these wealthy families have actually been separated from the Central Plains and their families and even from the Tang Dynasty. They came to the wilderness, started from scratch, and started their own businesses. All of this was achieved through their own hard work.
Five thousand miles away from Chang'an, the former home and the imperial court were already very far away for them. Now Wu'an Prefecture is the personal interests of everyone, and the lord Qin Lang is their backbone.
Even ordinary people know the old saying: Whoever takes the bowl and whoever takes care of them, they are the people of the Tang Dynasty, but they are also the retainers of Duke Wei Qin Lang. Their fiefs and territories were all granted to them by Duke Wei, and the tax income they enjoyed was actually the one-third or two taxes that Duke Wei took out to them.
There are also fief villages assigned to them, fields, mines, trees, water and so on, etc. These are all given to them by Qin Lang, rather than directly granted to them by the court, so of course they will only remember them on Qin Lang.
In Wu'anzhou, Qin Lang's words are naturally more effective than the imperial court.
This is a very realistic situation.
Although Qin Lang is just a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, Wu'anzhou, a fiefdom, is not an independent kingdom that was enfeoffed, and the Qin family only enjoys the position of hereditary governor of Wu'anzhou, other official positions are actually granted by the court. However, the current practice is that Qin Lang recommends it, and the court will not reject it.
But everyone still thinks that Wu'anzhou belongs to the Qin family. They are not only Tang ministers, but also Qin's ministers.
Qin Lang was actually very clear about the details here. He didn't want to make some things too high-profile. For example, when he learned that the pier was full of vassal knights, warriors, etc. who came to greet him, he deliberately changed into blue shirts and quietly got off the boat and went ashore.
The retainers still want to meet, but Qin Lang doesn't want to make it too high-profile and lively, and he doesn't want to do something like the morning court in Wu'anzhou. However, the whole country and Wu'anzhou want such a scene, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a ceremony. They want to deepen the concept of the Qin family in Wu'an, especially the title of the chief minister.
Even Qin Yong, Qin Yong, Huang Biao, and Zhang Chao came to persuade each other in the middle of the night last night, saying that Qin Lang had not come once a few years, and now he is here, he still doesn't want to meet everyone. In this way, everyone will be disloyal in the future. The atmosphere of unity in Wu'anzhou will dissipate.
Everyone will become more suspicious and more uneasy.
This time, in addition to the vassals of the Central Plains who followed Qin Lang to pay their respects to Qin Lang, they actually conquered the chiefs of the ligu in Wu'an after they went south, and the Han tyrants who immigrated here in the early years, these original local snakes are now gradually integrating into Wu'an Prefecture. But they are actually even more unsure and have been confused. When Qin Lang comes, they must come to pay their respects and want to have a peace of mind. If Qin Lang refuses to see them, they will be even more uneasy, which is also extremely unfavorable to the development of Wu'an Prefecture.
After all, although these local snakes are suppressed, their strength is not weak, especially many mountain liars and barbarians, who are the bosses in the mountainous areas.
The Jucheng chaos last year actually caused great changes in the entire Lingnan. A new era has begun. Wu'anzhou, everyone wants to ask for a clear message from Qin Lang and ask for a reassurance. At this time, could Qin Lang say that he would not see everyone in order to avoid some things?
"We have made great achievements and great achievements. We are upright and neither steal nor rob, and we do not rebel. Why should we hide and shrink from timidity?"
"The land in Wu'anzhou was given to Sanlang Shifeng. It has been so many years in the blink of an eye. Now, so many of our brothers and horses are following Sanlang. Sanlang finally showed up, how can we not have a good chat with everyone?" Old Matou is now in Wu'anzhou, and is also one of the three left-behind giants. He is no longer the vulgar old Matou in Chang'an. He speaks very domineeringly.
"We are still waiting for Sanlang to talk about future plans for everyone. Our Wu'an Prefecture is becoming more and more prosperous, so of course we have to be united!" Qin Yong had the same attitude.
After their overnight persuasion, Qin Lang finally had to agree to this event whether he agreed or not. It seemed that the vassals in Wu'anzhou would come to visit together.
Nearly five updates.
Qin Lang stood at the top of the main Fort of Weigong Fort, and watched the fire dragon winding towards Weigong Fort, he said helplessly to Qin Yong, Huang Biao, Qin Yong, Anon, Yang Jiyuan and others beside him, "In fact, after the Jucheng Man Rebellion was pacified, the dust on Lingnan has been settled. It can be said that within ten years, there will be no major changes in policy. We are actually worrying too much."
Yang Jiyuan of Lang Son's long white beard was blown by the summer wind, "I think Sanlang's words are not false. I heard that the court is about to launch another battle in the north, and he still wants to attack the two enemy Xue Yantuo in the north of Mo and Goguryeo in Liaodong. Both of these two Hu Ke are also very strong, and they really won't have the energy to stare at the south for the time being."
"But our losses last time were quite large. We expanded thousands of miles of land for the imperial court, but we also lost Gaoping, Xin'an, Qiujiang and other places. That was a good place, especially Gaoping. This is the key point of Sanlang's expansion to the northwest. Sanlang felt heartbroken?" Yang Jiyuan didn't open any pots to carry any pots.
Qin Lang was blowing a cool breeze, but his mood was not affected by Yang Jiyuan, the cheap father-in-law. He had a stir in his heart when he first received the emperor's order. He was rejected by the emperor mercilessly as soon as he took the test, even at a critical moment like Pingman.
But now that time has changed, Qin Lang has long wanted to open up. Gaoping, Xin'an and Qiujiang are gone. Isn't there another Beijiang and Qixi added? The original development was originally a bit of a traitor, and it was not accepted by the court. That was the emperor's mercy.
It is important to stop when you see it is better, and it is not too greedy.
Greedy and lose the big one.
"Do you have any objection to Your Majesty's refusal to give me a son and then entrust Liang Shan?" Qin Lang asked.
Qin Lang conquered the Yang family in Liangshanwu, promising to return to the Yang family in the future, and reported to the court that he would be the Count and the magistrate of Liangshan County. However, a few years later, the emperor issued an edict to grant Qin Lang a son to the magistrate of Liangshan County to the magistrate of Liangshan County to the magistrate of Liangshan County to the magistrate of the county. Yang Jiyuan, the former magistrate, was awarded the title of Sima of Wu'an Prefecture, and the throne of Count remains unchanged.
This incident made Yang Jiyuan very angry, but he was helpless. After all, the emperor of Chang'an was ordered.
But I was always angry in my heart, so I was provoking Qin Lang intentionally or unintentionally. Who knew that Qin Lang was pointing straight to the point, which made Yang Jiyuan unable to answer the words.
