Chapter 1378 The eldest grandson

  On the first day of the Lunar New Year, at midnight, the emperor also urgently summoned the two magistrates into the palace to discuss matters. Qin Lang sighed, the young emperor was a little out of control after all, or he didn't have his own opinion at this time.

   Whenever there is a major event, there is calmness, and only when the mind is calm can we deal with all kinds of chaotic military affairs. As the Son of Heaven, calling his subjects into the palace in the middle of the night is undoubtedly a sign of restlessness.

   "The matter of the Western Regions is not a major event of the collapse of the world. You can go back and ask the saint to rest at ease."

  Gao Fu was stunned.

After Cui Dunli was shocked, he also came back to his senses at this time, and said to Gao Fu, "Don't you understand what the grand master means? If the two governors enter the palace late at night at this time, then I don't know what kind of unnecessary speculation will be caused. What's the need for people panicking at times?"

  Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the chiefs and envoys of foreign countries are still there. Is this to make others laugh, or to let everyone know that the emperor is young and unsteady?

  Gao Fu returned in a hurry.

  Cui Dunli was already in his seventies, and originally wanted to stay and have a good chat with Qin Lang, mainly because he wanted to communicate with him. He was old and didn't have a few years to live, so he wanted to make good arrangements for his children and grandchildren. With the support of the Qin family this time, I am afraid that the Qin family will gain power and power in the next few decades. If the descendants of the Cui family want to have a smooth official career, they have to rely on the Qin family.

   "Mr. Cui, go back to rest early. What happened in the Western Regions, I don't think you will be free tomorrow."

   "Okay, Saburo also goes to bed early."

  The two did not discuss the defeat of the Western Regions in private.

   "Xiaozhong, send off Cui Gong for me."

  A young man came in from outside the door. He was also handsome and handsome, and his eyebrows were also very similar to Qin Lang. He came in and politely saw off Qin Lang's guests.

   This young man is the eldest grandson of Qin Lang, who is already twenty years old this year. He is the eldest son of Qin Jun and also a concubine. This kid is good at riding and shooting, and good at war art, which is considered quite in Qin Lang's fancy, and now he brings him with him to teach him. He had grown the maid's belly at the age of fourteen, and now his son is five years old.

   "Grandfather, Cui Gong has already boarded the carriage and returned."

  Qin Xiaozhong came in to report.

   "Grandpa, is the Western Regions going to be in chaos?"

   "Whether the Western Regions are chaotic or not is not up to the Western Turkic people, but to Luoyang and the Tang court. You should also go to rest early."

  Qin Xiaozhong chuckled, "Grandpa, the ten beauties bestowed on Grandpa by the sage, Grandpa won't let me."

   "Why, you kid has become interested in **** again, young people have to control their crotch."

   "Those beauties are really beautiful. If Grandpa doesn't want them, that would be a waste."

  Qin Lang was also young, but he likes this kid's straightforwardness.

  The emperor sent him ten royal horses and ten beauties. The royal horses are all famous horses, and the beauties are naturally stunning. It's just that the current Qin Lang is not the twenty-year-old Qin Cunzhong. The so-called beauties, famous horses, or gold and jewelry, or even high-ranking officials and rich salary, actually can't impress him anymore.

   "You pick one yourself."

  Six brothers, arrange one for each, and then the two sons of Qin Jun and Qin Yu in Beijing also arrange one, the eldest grandson arranges one, and finally keep one in his own house.

   "Thank you, Grandpa."

   "As long as the beauty is not a BMW?" Qin Lang asked.

   "Will Grandpa give me a horse?"

   "Go and pick one yourself."

A twenty-year-old young man, who followed his father, Qin Jun, was also experienced in the underground. He looks like a greedy and lustful young dude. In fact, this kid can also endure hardships, and of course he is indeed lustful. Fourteen Qin Lang gave birth to a great-eldest grandson when he was only 20 years old, and now he has 13 sons and 18 daughters.

The number of women here is astonishing. Although the Qin family's secret ovulation period calculation method has improved fertility, and the strengthening of children's medical care has reduced the premature death rate to a very low level, but after all, so many babies have been born at such a young age, it is still It's amazing.

  Of course, this is also inseparable from the strength of the Qin family, and the children of the Qin family have many concubines. Most of them are 14 or 15 years old and they can understand human affairs. There are many maids and maids in the house. Generally, they start to take the first concubine after the age of 16. Before officially marrying a wife, they basically have two or three concubines, or even five or six concubines. up.

Although Qin Lang himself no longer has children, he still encourages his children and grandchildren to have more children, and even encourages the people in Luzon to have more children. The government has subsidies for having children, but if they are all monogamous, they want to have more children. There are also a few.

  Luzon is, after all, a wild place overseas, and the number of Han immigrants has always been restricted by the imperial court. Qin Lang and the others can only take a different approach, such as lowering the marriage age of men and women, such as encouraging common people to take concubines, and not restricting common people from taking concubines.

Under the guidance of the policy, many native barbarians are willing to marry their daughters to Han immigrants as concubines, because firstly, they can get a gift money, and secondly, if a daughter marries a Han immigrant, whether as a wife or a concubine, then Their family status can be improved, and the most intuitive thing is often to be able to obtain some benefits such as the qualifications for granting points in the field.

Even for those slaves, if the Han immigrants are willing to marry, then the Luzon government can give them their status first, so as to bypass the red line of good and bad. Also a normal guy.

In the past twenty or thirty years, Luzon has relied on this trick to convert a large number of native women and barbarian slaves into Han concubines. Although many Han immigrants in Luzon may be self-employed farmers or small landlords or industrial workers, Often have two or three concubines.

  Marrying these barbarian concubines often does not cost money, but the government also provides subsidies, which means that the family increases the labor force of young and strong women, and also gives them children, and the children are subsidized. Why not do such a good thing?

The Han immigrants had three wives and four concubines, with many children, but the Tufan barbarians had more men than girls and few girls, and there were many bachelors. Because they could not afford the bride price, and there would be no government subsidies for them, most of the Tufan barbarian women preferred to marry Emigrated to the Han.

  Native barbarian men want to marry wives and get a large gift, as for taking concubines even if they have money, because the natives are strictly restricted from taking concubines, otherwise they will be severely punished for bigamy. The natives can only work hard to make money. The land in the mountainous area is not easy to grow and the income is low, so they leave the village shacks in the mountainous area, go to the port, go to the mining estate, work hard, and even go to the battlefield to work their lives.

For them, the world is unfair, but Qin Lang, who is at the top of Luzon society, and the Qin clan's retainers, when they formulate strategies, they don't consider being unfair to the natives. They first consider What matters is how to maintain and strengthen the main body of the Lusong and Qin people.

   "Boss, you are not young anymore, you can't stay single all the time, you should marry a wife. Is there a woman you like? Tell Grandpa."

  Qin Xiaozhong, who has thirty-one children, is still a bachelor in name, and the older man is single, because he has not officially married a wife. Although the concubines took care of many rooms, and there were even quite a few concubines and maidservants in the house, the wife was indeed unmarried.

This kind of situation is actually very common among the aristocratic families. They have to pay attention to the right family when they marry, so sometimes in order to find a suitable wife, they may wait until they are in their twenties or even their thirties. There are many concubines and concubines.

"Grandpa, do you like it?" Qin Xiaozhong is quite straightforward, and he does not object to this kind of marriage between the big clans. Not to mention good and bad, even concubines are different. Although he is a concubine of the Qin family, he is also An eldest grandson, even if he is not the eldest grandson, he is not an ordinary grandson. What's more, the Qin family is not the Qin family of the Wude dynasty. In the past few decades, they have become popular, and even the five surnames and seven families have to dominate.

  During the Zhenguan Dynasty, Qin Lang was only known as one of the four nobles. By the time of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the Qin family was already a big family, and now, it has established the Qin family's position as the number one noble in the Tang Dynasty.

   "Cui Xiang just mentioned to me that his eldest grandson, Cui Chushi, has a girl who is in the age of cardamom. She is also a good tutor. She has learned piano, chess, poetry, painting, cooking, and even bookkeeping. She is also pretty good."

   "Cui Chushi?" Qin Xiaozhong is a little unfamiliar with this name. He stayed in Luoyang for three years when he was young, and then he returned to Luzon. He doesn't know much about the children of noble families here.

"Well, Cui Dunli has seven sons, two of his sons. The eldest son is called Xiuye, and the second son is called Shouye. The eldest son Xiuye ​​also gave birth to five or six sons, but the only one son is Cui Chushi. The second son, Shouye, has three sons. A son-in-law."

  Cui Chushi is the eldest grandson of Cui's patriarch, an authentic direct descendant, and his mother is also a daughter of the Qin family, born of Qin Xun and his concubine Cui. Qin married Cui Xiuye ​​as his wife and gave birth to Cui Chushi.

  Qin Xiaozhong stroked, Qin Xun was his fifth uncle, who married a daughter of his uncle Cui Dunli as his concubine, and then married the daughter born to Cui's family to Cui Dunli's eldest grandson Chushi as his wife. Then he will call Chushi's wife, Qin Shi, his cousin.

  The daughter of Tang Aunt and Chu Shisheng is his cousin.

   "Isn't it too close to kiss each other?"

   "Well, three generations are married."

  Cui Dunli is in his seventies, his son Cui Xiuye ​​is also in his fifties, and his grandson Cui Chushi is also in his forties. The great-granddaughter he proposed is thirteen years old at this time and is still a descendant.

  The Qin family and the Cui family have been married for several generations. Qin Qiong married Cui Dunli's younger sister as his successor, Qin Xun took Cui Dunli's daughter as his concubine, and then Cui Xiuye ​​married Qin Qiong and Cui's daughter as his wife.

   Cui Chushi married Qin Xun's daughter again, and then gave birth to this little lady Cui who is now proposing to get married.

   "The fifth uncle's family is full of children and grandchildren, and there should be many cousins ​​who are suitable for marriage. Why didn't Cui Gong marry the fifth family?"

  Qin Lang rolled his eyes at the grandson, isn't the matter here simple?

  Cui Dunli and Qin Xun are uncle and nephew, so Cui Shi asked his son to accept his brother and daughter as concubines. When Cui Dunli wanted to join the Qin family, he ignored the face of the five surnames and gave his daughter to Qin Qiong's son as a concubine. Later, the eldest son married the daughter of Qin Qiong and Cui Nu as his wife, and later appointed the daughter of Qin Xun and his daughter Cui as his wife for his grandson.

  This kind of marriage between relatives and relatives has indeed made the Cui family have a close relationship with the Qin family, especially the relationship with the fifth family who is a descendant.

But now Cui Dunli wants to marry Qin Lang's grandson, and marry his great-granddaughter to Qin Lang's eldest grandson. Naturally, it is because Qin Xun is a waste, and he has just been exiled and returned to office. Lang takes care of it.
