Mr. Qin and a group of porters looked around curiously. Seeing the roads were flat and the fields were empty, they curiously asked the servants around them: "Brother, is this a field steward? What kind of work are we going to do?"

The servant said, "It's here. Kongmu has given him clearly. After you arrive, you go to the brick and tiles to work, not far from here."

Qin Adaqi said: "So there is a brick and tile farm here? I used to burn it for myself, so it is rare to set up a site."

The officer ignored him and just looked at everyone carefully, not leaving the crowd and walking around by himself.

Not far away, I saw a team of people coming towards me. The officials who led the team hurriedly ordered everyone to stop by the road and wait for the crowd to come.

Seeing that there was a young official riding a horse in front of him, Mr. Qin couldn't help but whisper to the servants beside him: "Brother, who is this official?"

The servant said, "This is an officer! Isn't the one who left you here a few days ago? Could it be that you don't recognize it? Don't make noise!"

Mrs. Qin had no choice but to shut up and muttered in a low voice: "Why do you dare to look up when you see an official? Of course, you can't remember the official's appearance."

Du Zhongxiao saw dozens of people standing on the side of the road and recognized him as the porter who came back from carrying money a few days ago. He asked the officials to ask about their arrangements and found out that the Kongmu official sent them to burn bricks and tiles. The field business was the time to carry out construction, and bricks and tiles were scarce, so the arrangement was reasonable. There was a lot of coal here and the loess was particularly deep, which was suitable for burning bricks and tiles. Compared with rammed earth buildings, bricks and tiles were built faster.

He ordered the officials to treat these porters well, and Du Zhongxiao and his party went to the Yingtianwu Office not far away. A few months later, these porters would bring the Chaihu harvested by the Volcanic Army back to Bingzhou, which was very important. With the establishment of the Chaihu and the development of business, the Volcanic Army experienced a shortage of money. The seven or eight thousand guan transported back a few days ago was just an urgent problem. With the development of business, cash was still very short of money. Du Zhongxiao planned to sell Chaihu and exchange it for cash in Bingzhou, and brought it back by Feng Yuan and others who returned from Bingzhou at that time.

When he returned to the Yingtianwu Office, he had made some repairs and then an official came to report to Xiangbu, the leader of the foreign people, who was affiliated with him, asked for a visit.

Xiangbu entered the yamen and came to the flower hall. Seeing that Du Zhongxiao was already sitting there, he hurriedly stepped forward to see the ceremony. After the ceremony, he said, "Officials, I sent a young man to investigate the people who came to Tanglong Town a few days ago, but the young man dared not slacken. After many investigations, it was known that at least three of them were living in the Volcano Army and were all in the Yingtianwu. One came to Shouyan, changed his name and surname, and joined some foreign people who fled here to recruit the fields. The other came to Shouyan to assume that he was a Han man, and he also applied for the recruitment. The other came to Zhongping, who was Lai Shoushun's nephew, and was with the small foreign tribe who was attached to him."

After hearing this, Du Zhongxiao nodded repeatedly, asked Xiangbu to sit down, and asked him: "What kind of background do these people have? Tell me in detail."

Xiang preached: "Lai Shouyanhe Laiyong is the remote branch of his family, which is actually not much different from ordinary foreign households. Only Lai Zhongping is the nephew of the former leader Lai Shoushun. I think when the Western thieves came to attack a few years ago, they were separated from their families and mixed with Jiashu, Keshun and other small foreign troops."

Laijia was the hereditary leader of Tanglong Town, but his family was not too big, with only more than a hundred people, mainly relying on the tribes that depended on them and the court's recognition to maintain rule. When Dangxiang attacked Tanglong Town, his leader Lai Shun and the Fan Guan Maya, and the inspector Miluo rebelled into Dangxiang. These small tribes in the mountains were similar to tribal alliances, and their subordinate relationships were not close. Leaders like Laijia were mostly recognized by the Central Plains dynasty for historical reasons, and were granted official positions, allowing them to be formed. Once the Central Plains dynasty was not recognized by the Central Plains dynasty, their power quickly collapsed.

Du Zhongxiao found the people of his family, not because he wanted to rely on their reputation to win people's hearts. Not to mention a clan member who came to Shushun, even if he came to Shushun's own reputation, he was far inferior to a lawsuit from the Song Dynasty. Du Zhongxiao's purpose was to have such a person in his hands, and when he fought for Tanglong Town in the future, it would be convenient for him to sue the Khitan and Dangxiang. Since Shushun rebelled into Dangxiang, the rule of Lai's family in Tanglong Town had actually collapsed.

Jiashu, Keshun and other foreign tribes were like Xiangbu's tribes, close to the Han territory of the Volcanic Army. After Dangxiang defeated Fengzhou, the foreign tribes there moved eastward and entered the territory of these small foreign tribes. The seven tribes became fourteen tribes. The new foreign tribes and the old foreign tribes had both integration and cooperation and war. Fengzhou was captured, and the Zhe family of the Prefectures ignored these foreign tribes, and they had to deal with the three forces between the Song Dynasty, the Khitan and the Dangxiang.

When he was fighting with Dangxiang, he was separated from his family and arrived near the Volcanic Army and relied on the small Bodhi tribe. Recently, the field affairs recruited civilians, and he joined the volcanic army with some of the marginal personnel of these tribes.

As early as the fourth year of Qingli, Fan Zhongyan wrote to the court to ask the Prefectures and Volcanic Army to recruit these small tribes and maintain their influence on Tanglong Town. It has been two years since the matter was actually done at the hands of Du Zhongxiao.

Listening to Xiangbu, he carefully talked about the situation of the foreign troops who had recently entered the field affairs of the Yingtianfu, Du Zhongxiao said: "You have been a clan and came early, and you should be praised. Anyway, most of your tribe members have been registered and they will no longer have to take care of the family affairs in the future. In the past two days, I will write to the Shuaisi to add a post and a half position to you, and take control of these foreign people who entered the field affairs of the Yingtianfu. In the future, you will be under your jurisdiction. After they become familiar with Chinese language and adapt to the life of the field affairs of the field, they will be incorporated into the village. This matter is not careless, you must do your best."

Xiangbu was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. He had been working in the field affairs these days, and he had seen the treatment of those officials and had long envied them. He was also doing things. The officials had wages paid by the field affairs, and also received their salary, and had no shortage of wine and meat. They were not comparable to those of the young leaders like him. The officials were not well-off, so who would they compare with? Compared with the wealthy families in the Central Plains, the lower-level officials were in a difficult life, but compared with the foreigners, they were in heaven and earth.

Du Zhongxiao said again: "This is useful in the future. You have to take good care of it and you must not make any mistakes. Lai's family was the leader of Tanglong Town, with subordinates, but there are more enemies, so be careful that someone knows his identity and causes trouble."

Xiangbu smiled and said, "The officials are too concerned. He has been rebelling into the Western Region with his clan members. When he comes to his home, he is like everyone else. Who is looking at him directly? Now Lai Zhongping is an ordinary foreigner, who still has to work for others and shed sheep and horses for others."

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's always good to be careful. Many of the tribes in this area are scattered all over the country, some belonging to the Western border, some belonging to the Khitan, and of course some people who are interested in the court. Even if you foreigners don't cause trouble, it's hard to protect the Hao thief and the Khitan will not cause trouble."

Xiangbu suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly. The forces of the foreign tribes were dispersed and could not accomplish any major events, but the forces of Dangxiang and Khitan behind them should not be underestimated. Although the Three Kingdoms are making peace, the situation on the border is complicated and no one can say what will happen.

Looking at Xiangbu, Du Zhongxiao felt ashamed. This young leader of the French was really honest. As soon as he said that, he understood it. However, he didn't know that Du Zhongxiao's current approach was also preparing to use Fanluo to cause trouble, but Xiangbu didn't think about this at all.
