Chastity Layman

"The sinner Hei Niu pays his respects to Duke Wei!"

"Get up!"

Qin Lang didn't even bother, and directly reached out and grabbed Hei Niu's two thick arms, and lifted him up. He was very strong, even though the black bull was as strong as a cow, he was also lifted up by him.

"Get up!"

Ah Huang took Qin Lang a handful of small notebooks from the horse and opened them up on the ground.

Qin Lang sat down.

Hei Niu waited a bit taller than him immediately.

Qin Lang raised his head, "What are you doing standing there?"

Hei Niu thought about it, and waited for him to condescend to Duke Wei, but they didn't bring Ma Zha, so they simply sat down on the ground.

After sitting down, I felt that this posture seemed rude.

Quickly got up and knelt down on the ground again, regardless of the wet and muddy ground.

Feng Shan waited on the side and said in his heart, the lord is so majestic.

"Let me get straight to the point. Let me introduce myself first. Qin Lang's name is Huailiang, and he is the third in his family."

Ah Huang immediately added to the side.

He raised his voice and shouted in a long voice, "Standing in front of you is the captain-in-law, the son-in-law of Princess Changle, the eldest princess of His Majesty the Tang Emperor.

The teacher of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the Taibao of the Crown Prince, Zhan Shi of Donggong, Bachelor of Chongwenguan, the rate of Prince Zuowei,

Duke Qin!

This series of super long titles made Hei Niu and others dumbfounded.

Many people don't know what these titles mean at all, and Hei Niu only understands some, such as the son-in-law of the emperor, the son of the third prince, the teacher of the prince, the prime minister, and the envoy of Xuanfu, but these are enough.

Qin Lang's background is too great, and he does have the power to kill them.

"Everyone, I am on a tour of the south of the sky. I have just arrived in Yongzhou and have not yet set foot in Lingnan. I am surprised and surprised to encounter such a thing. Although I am young, I have also discussed with His Majesty Xuanwumen. Rebellion, for His Majesty's rebellion in Youzhou Pingwang Junkuo and Binzhou Pingluoyi, and with His Majesty Jiuqi Wei Bridge to gather 300,000 Turkic riders. Not long ago, he was still in the north of Saibei. Khan pays tribute to the emperor..."

After talking about the achievements, Da Hei Niu and others were even more shocked.

I've only heard about some of Qin Lang's achievements before, but I didn't expect it to be so outstanding. No wonder he is already in such a high position at such a young age.

Is it so hard to fight!

It doesn't seem wrong to lose to such a person?

Thinking of this, Da Hei Niu couldn't help but sit up straighter, his back straighter.

"I know that for you, I am a northerner. I have never been to Lingnan before, and I don't know the traditions of the Wuling mountain people, but I also know that since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the mountain people in Wuling have been the people of the Central Plains. People of the imperial court, from generation to generation, the imperial court allows you not to be naturalized and not to pay taxes, but you also have to be loyal to the imperial court and pay tribute to Fangwu. I don’t care who you heard the rumors before, but those are indeed rumors, there is no such thing .”

"It's normal for you to have worries, but you should also communicate with the court officials, instead of directly gathering people to make trouble like this. You just met me, Qin Lang, who is reasonable and understands your ignorance. If another court official came, maybe They are already mobilizing troops from all directions to completely encircle and suppress you."

"Now, the truth has been clarified. You and the others are not born rebellious, but someone is secretly spreading rumors to instigate provocations. Therefore, in line with the principle of curing diseases and saving lives, the truth is willing to give you another chance to be lenient."

Hei Niu waited for a while and lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

"Let you tell the truth now, you can speak out if you have any appeals or grievances, your name is Hei Niu, right, you should speak first!"

Da Hei Niu was deeply impressed by Qin Lang's aura, and when he opened his mouth, it was different.

"Xuanxiang, Hei Niu just wants to ask, are naturalization, resignation, immigration, tax payment, and military service really just rumors? Is there really no such order from the imperial court?"

"Of course not. Have you received an edict from the imperial court, or a notice from the government? Have you received any?"

Hei Niu shook his head, of course not.

"We've all heard that the court is going to do that."

"Don't just listen to rumors, don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors, that's right."

"Actually, you are in the mountains, and you don't understand a lot of things. Now the imperial court really intends to merge the prefectures and counties in Lingnan, but this is just an adjustment of administrative divisions. Efficiency in handling affairs, not doing ten sheep and nine shepherds, also reduces the burden on the people."

"As for what you are worried about, such as naturalization and downhill, you are actually worrying too much. Don't say that you don't have any plans in this regard at all. Even if naturalization and downhill are really implemented, this is a blessing rather than a curse. After naturalization, you will be a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and you can enjoy There are a lot of benefits and guarantees, and now the imperial court has already implemented the two-tax law, and it is divided into the mu, so it is not necessary to bear any heavy taxes after naturalization."

"After the stalls enter the mu, there is no free Yao labor to do."

"If you go down the mountain, you will actually be given land on the flat ground below the mountain. This is naturally better than staying on the mountain, isn't it?"

Hei Niu and others hesitated.

"Of course, all of this is actually voluntary. Don't say that you don't have such a plan now. Even if you do in the future, the imperial court will respect the choices of your mountain people and are willing to stay on the mountain. No one will force you to go down the mountain, let alone I will move you to some Hetao west of Liaoning."

Qin Lang asked Hei Niu.

"The truth is clear enough, right? What else do you not understand?"

"No more." Hei Niu lowered his head.

"Has the misunderstanding been cleared up? Are you going to continue to gather people to create chaos and become enemies of the court?"

The big black bull knocked his head to the ground, "Don't dare again."

Qin Lang asked a few other leaders. In fact, these people were all like Hei Niu. He thought that the imperial court was going to punish them, so when he was in a hurry, he got together and wanted to force the imperial court to withdraw the order.

But who knows that after a long time of commotion, the imperial court had no such plan at all, and although they gathered more than 20,000 people, they ended up being vulnerable in front of Qin Xuanxiang, but some of Qin Xiang's relatives killed them head rolling.

In front of them, there is actually no choice.

Now that Qin Lang gave them the steps, they would naturally have to roll down.

They believed Qin Lang's words. After all, he was so honorable and his status was too high, so there was no need for him to say anything false.

"Go and call the leaders of the other villages. You can also call the elders of the villages. Let them listen to it and give their opinions."

Qin Lang said.

So more than 300 people came with a clatter.

These are the backbone of the barbarian army this time, the village owners and elders from various villages in the mountains, and even some wizards and mages. They are all the talkers in the barbarian village. As long as they are willing to accept the recruitment, it will naturally be done.

After a while, these people all bowed down in front of Qin Lang, confessed their crimes to Qin Lang in the muddy ground, and expressed their willingness to repent and so on.

"Get up, everyone."

"Now that the misunderstanding has been clarified, let's talk about how to deal with the aftermath. Let me mention a few points first. First, all villages must write a letter of confession and repentance, and everyone in the village must have their fingerprints. Don't worry about Qiu Hou Settling accounts or something, since I, Qin Lang, took the initiative to surrender to appease you, there will never be any settling accounts. The purpose of this confession is to submit to His Majesty the Emperor. The two crimes should be punished together, and the punishment will not be negligent.”

"Furthermore, this time you caused chaos, caused a lot of damage, and caused a lot of killings and casualties. All the things you robbed must be returned, and the people who were taken captive must also be returned."

"I don't want you to compensate for the loss of property, but in this riot, all the women who died, were injured or even insulted, this account must be settled. My request is that those who kill people pay for their lives, and those who hurt and humiliate others compensate, How about it, am I asking too much?"

The big black cow swallowed his thirsty throat, "It's not too much. May I ask how the compensation will be made by Prime Minister Xuan?"

"As many people have died, you can hand over how many mountain people to pay for their lives. It is up to each village to discuss who to hand over. But one life is for one life, and this rule cannot be changed. You must pay compensation for hurting or humiliating others. People pay for medical expenses, and women who are insulted, you compensate with cattle, horses or women."

Qin Lang was willing to appease them, but not unconditionally.

Killing for life, this is the most basic, it is to let the barbarians know that there is a price for chaos.

Of course, just killing is not enough.

Qin Lang then proposed that the imperial court planned to set up new counties and townships in the Wuling Mountains. These counties would be selected from among the mountain barbarians who were loyal to the imperial court and had prestige among the tribes as county magistrates. Books, etc. to assist in the governance of civil affairs, handling litigation disputes, etc.

In the entire Wuling Mountains, Qin Lang planned to set up a dozen or so autonomous counties, and in the Yuecheng Ridge area, which was five hundred miles away, the plan was to set up three Man counties first.

This kind of county actually belongs to Jimi County, but Qin Lang did not establish Jimi Prefecture, which means that this Manxian County is actually subordinate to the Zhengzhou of the imperial court, and the imperial court must still be responsible for guidance and management. Let them go.

On the other hand, although the county magistrates of these Man counties appoint the leaders of the Shan Man, the imperial court will also send some assistant officials there, which can be regarded as a slow penetration.

"Hei Niu leader, I think you still know the righteousness and reason, so I plan to recommend you as the county magistrate of Yuecheng County. Are you willing to accept it?"

Hei Niu was taken aback.

"Why, don't you want to?"

"Yes." Hei Niu came back to his senses and knelt down.

"Very good. Do you agree with the compensation I proposed earlier for murder and humiliation?"

Hei Niu hesitated. He looked at the other village owners, elders, and wizards. Although everyone was hesitant, no one dared to say anything.

To be honest, they are a little bit reluctant to kill people, injure people and lose money. They prefer the court to pretend that nothing happened, and they go back to the mountains to continue their lives.

Obviously, Qin Xuanxiang is not so easy to talk to.

If you don't pay a price, this matter will not end well.

"Think about it carefully. This is already the best condition I have given you. If you persist in your obsession, you will bear the consequences."

Hei Niu was startled.

He looked at the clansmen again, and found that everyone had a look of fear on their faces, so he could only grit his teeth cruelly.

"We accept Minister Xuan's ruling and obey the order!"
