The boat is about to dock. The boatman has informed all the boat passengers to start packing up their belongings. At the same time, he has also informed all the boat passengers that there will be no more stops before they arrive at LAN Cheng.

This month long journey is finally coming to an end. People who are tired of the journey are very happy to hear the news.

White crane dye is also happy, she was on guard for 30 days, and finally can take a breath. But it's only a temporary delay, because the landing of Lancheng is much closer to Gebu, and the activities of Gebu's Secret Sentry will be more frequent and rampant.

Of course, the real rampant is not in Lancheng, but in ningzhou Prefecture, which is further northwest of Lancheng. Further, it is the copper city close to gobu and luoye. All the way, they wanted to go ashore in Lancheng, take the land route from Lancheng to ningzhou capital, reach Tongcheng, and finally go out of the border from Tongcheng to Gebu.

In the evening, after dinner, people gathered on the deck space to chat, chatting and chatting to Tongcheng.

Some people said: "the Tongcheng official took a concubine a few months ago. It is said that she is a beautiful woman. She was so beautiful that the magistrate of Tongcheng was so enchanted that she decided to take her into the mansion on the spot. Originally, it's nothing. My fair lady is a gentleman! However, it is said that after the concubine entered the palace, the magistrate of Tongcheng was fascinated by the concubine. He would do whatever she told him to listen to and do. He had no opinion of his own. Even when the trial was half over, he had to go back to the back house to ask the concubine whether the case should be tried like this. If my concubine nods, he will continue the trial. If my concubine shakes her head, he will ask how to do it. "

Some people in Tongcheng nodded when they heard this, saying that they had heard of it. Because the magistrate, Lord Kang, listened to my concubine's words and never avoided others, so everyone knew it.

Another person said, "it's nothing to be afraid of my daughter-in-law. If my concubine's heart is for the sake of 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. In the past, although there were contacts between the two sides, for example, customers with records could be released or allowed to operate in Tongcheng. All these are in line with the law of the people's Republic of China. However, since the concubine entered the house, the magistrate Kang was like a victim of evil and suddenly opened the trade to Gebu. Now the gobu people who come and go to Tongcheng no longer have to check their identity as strictly as they used to. They don't even have to go to the government for filing. They don't even have to pay the two liang silver money when they come to Tongcheng. They can walk around and buy or sell in Tongcheng. "

"There are also gobu people who marry Tongcheng women!" When I left Tongcheng, I heard someone joking that I dare not talk to anyone when I walk in the street, because you don't know whether the person standing in front of you is Dongqin or Gebu. It is estimated that it will become more rampant now. If it goes on like this, the copper city will be occupied by Gebu. "

Someone retorted: "you've said it too much. It's only a few months. Can you get to that point? I haven't been to Tongcheng yet. I'm accompanying my father to visit relatives this time. I dare not go if you say so. "

At that time, the man patted his thigh: "don't say I'm wrong, just a few months, I'll calculate... I've come here once, and I've lived in zhangjiazhen for a month. Well, I'll be in my early three months! In the early three months, the index has changed a lot. Because when I left Tongcheng, the magistrate accepted my concubine for only one month. I can imagine how fast the change is. "

"That big change in a month? Are you going to turn Tongcheng upside down in the past three months

"Who knows! However, this is not a bad thing. The beauties of Gebu are different from those of Dongqin. They all have deep eyebrows, big eyes and high nose. They also have double eyelids. So I thought, maybe I can marry a Gebu daughter-in-law when I go back, then the children born after that will be good-looking! "

When he said that, people began to make fun of him again. At the same time, they talked more about the appearance of the gobu people. They wanted to find something new, either marry a gobu woman or marry their daughter to gobu.

Baihecan also stood on the deck listening with silent words. The more she listened, the tighter her eyebrows became. There were women among the speakers, and there were also women standing beside her. So she asked, "is the concubine married by the magistrate also a Gebu man?"

The people who heard this shook their heads. "No, many people have seen it on the day of marriage. It should not be the Gebu people. Moreover, the women of the eastern Qin Dynasty are still the looks of the Central Plains. They are really beautiful."

"No, I've never seen such a pretty girl in most of my life. It's so pretty."

People's topic was again related to the appearance of the concubine, and Bai henran didn't speak any more,

Murmur whispered, "is it just a coincidence to marry that concubine? After all, no one has any evidence to say that the idea of opening up contacts with Gebu was the concubine's idea, and the concubine is from Central Plains, so there's no reason to mix it up? "But Bai Helian didn't think so: "there are so many coincidences in the world, and Tongcheng has never heard of changing the magistrate. Since it has always been the magistrate, why hasn't this happened before, but it happened after having the concubine?"

"If the young lady's guess is right, why did she do it?" "It's understandable to open trade and allow intermarriage, but it's not right when trade is open to such an extent and intermarriage reaches all over the street. Why do you always feel that this is to be assimilated slowly, and then continue like this. After a few years, if the Tongcheng city is not well preserved, it will be the world of gobu people, which is much more than fighting a war. "

The silent language made his back cool, and suddenly realized that he might have guessed a big conspiracy.

Bai Helian gives her a look of approval, which proves once again that the direction of silent guessing is correct.

That's right. Assimilation is to realize the homogenization of the two countries through exchanges and intermarriage. This is only the initial purpose. In the long run, the consequences will develop like Qingzhou and tanglan. If the two countries intermarry, there will be more and more Gebu sons-in-law in Tongcheng. Similarly, Gebu will marry more and more Tongcheng daughters-in-law and give birth to more and more common children.

There is no need to fight. As long as it develops like this, Tongcheng and Gebu will never be separated from each other for ten years at most.

This is a very terrible phenomenon. The most terrible thing is that this phenomenon is intentional. It is not the result of the development of the times like Qingcheng and tanglan. And Gebu is not Tang Lan. Gebu is ambitious and has already put into action. Therefore, it is impossible for Dongqin and Gebu to be friends. This kind of opening up and intermarriage is a very dangerous signal in the eastern Qin Dynasty. It must be stopped quickly, otherwise it will spread out of Tongcheng like a plague, and the scope will expand.

People talk about Tongcheng all the time around the concubine of the magistrate of Tongcheng, but after all, no one knows where the concubine came from and why no one has ever heard of such a beautiful girl before.

At this time, another person broke in, a woman holding a half year old child, and she said, "Tongcheng belongs to ningzhou Prefecture. I don't know what happened there, but when it comes to concubines, I think of the official Yin Wei in Lancheng. Coincidentally, Lord Wei also accepted a new concubine a few months ago. It is said that he is also as beautiful as a fairy. After all, they are powerful and powerful. They are in their early 40s, and they can still take concubines of less than 20. " The woman shook her head as she spoke.

As soon as she mentioned this, LAN Cheng people chatting with each other were very excited. They all said that they knew about it. Some people added in detail: "Lord Wei's new concubine went into the house, which is more beautiful than marrying the wife of the main room. She carried the eight sedan chair into the house directly. For this reason, she also had a feast for guests for three days. It is said that the gift money just came from him was all piled up in the Treasury of the house, In the end, we had to open all the rooms that we didn't use, and use them as storerooms to deposit money. "

"It's more than a big banquet on the day of concubine taking. Since the new concubine came to the house, Wei's house had to hold a banquet every three or two days. There are all kinds of reasons for holding a banquet. For example, if the beauty is in a good mood today, she should hold a banquet. For example, if the beauty is in a bad mood today, she should also hold a banquet. There are beauty like flowers bloom, to feast, beauty like cat gave birth to a kitten, also have to feast. In a word, all kinds of banquets are related to beauties. All kinds of banquets have to be held in all directions. At least the gentry and noblemen in the boundary of Lan City have to be present, and they have to give gifts and silver when they are present. "

"I've heard about it, too." Another person was attracted by the resonance, he said, "where is the banquet, that is simply to collect money, those gentry and tycoons are full of complaints about this, but there is no way, unless they do not do business in Lancheng, otherwise they can only pledge."

"Yes, it's called donation. It's privately said by the gentry who were forced to give money. They all said that they were donating coffin books to Lord Wei. When the donation is enough, Lord Wei's eyes will be closed and his legs will be pushed

Someone asked Bai heran: "aunt, you are also from Lancheng. Have you heard about it?"

White crane dye shakes his head, "my family is in the county, usually do not go to the city, so really did not hear."

"Oh, then you can see a lot less excitement. Lord Nawei had to sell all the land in LAN city."

"Why is that so?" Some people are curious, "is Lord Wei short of silver?"

"I don't know." People shook their heads, "but there should be no shortage of money. Anyway, it's LAN Cheng Fu Yin. How can he lack money. But who can be too rich? Of course, the more the better. Well, I came out a year ago. I don't know what's going on in Lancheng now. "

Some people who go to Lanzhou to visit relatives don't understand: "the imperial court doesn't care if they collect so much money?"

Those who heard this sighed
