Zhang Junde looked at Fan Heiyan and returned from the city, and was full of light. He talked about the city scene with excitement, shook his head and sighed. They lived in various places in Hexi, fled all the way and gathered together. They traveled thousands of miles away and died for a lifetime before returning to the Central Plains. For the elderly, they can be said to be a person of two lives and were cautious everywhere. The young men did not know the hardships of life, so they made an appointment to enter the city as soon as they arrived here, drinking and eating meat, which made Zhang Junde and others worried.

After returning from a thousand miles, who knows what the government is like? Over the past decade, Zhang Junde has undergone several dynasties and has been getting harder and harder every day. Who knows what it would be like to return to the Central Plains? These Hexi natives moved to Hexi hundreds of years ago. The Central Plains have long become a beautiful legend for them. After returning hundreds of years, everyone is panicked.

Sighing and returning to the tent, Zhang Junde said to the old men who were surrounded: "Today there are 10 or 20 young people who do not listen to the advice and insist on entering the city to play. After they go back, they are strictly restrained. We gathered together and swear together. We have been working together and swearing together. We have not known how much hard work we have finally arrived at the land. We should not be greedy for a moment of enjoyment and ruin great things. On the way, we also saw that the Khitan and Dangxiang were fighting, and only the Central Plains were safe. We would rather be a peaceful dog, not be a chaotic person, and not truly settle down, but be careful."

Zhao Fengluo on the side said: "The Central Plains is still the Han people. It's not like those nonsense people who are messing around. It's nothing to go to the city to stroll around."

Zhang Junde shook his head repeatedly: "The border area is not as good as the peaceful area in the mainland, so it is better for everyone to restrain everyone to stay in the tent."

Some people say yes, some people don’t agree with it, and there are many different opinions in the account.

Among these people who came, there were not many families with blood relationships, and most of them got together by chance. They got news from Kucha merchants that they were willing to return to the Central Plains to connect, form associations, make vows, and go with them together. The future was not clear, and most of them left their families where they were, formed associations, and some were still responsible for their families and gathered money together.

Each has different backgrounds and industries. Several associations were formed and the first to discuss the matter. At least there was no accident on the road. There were more than 300 accounts, but not many workers were actually engaged in the wool industry. At least they just gathered the industries, and most of them were still named. Now when we arrived at the local area, some people were glad, and some people were inevitably nervous. The Volcanic Army was talking about recruiting wool workers. What should we do if there were more people?

Just as everyone was talking, the sound of horse hooves sounded outside, and it was obvious that a fast horse was coming.

Several leaders of the club quickly stood up and left the tent together. After a while, they rode a fast horse in front of them, and Feng Yuan turned over from the horse.

Zhang Junde was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Feng, come to the tent to drink tea."

For these people, tea was an extremely expensive item in the past, and most of it was corrupt. Now when we arrived in Tanglong Town, tea was sold on its own. The first thing was to buy it to everyone to drink a cup and taste the taste of the Central Plains. When the guests came, they asked to drink a cup of tea, and they felt that they were ashamed.

Feng Yuan bowed: "I won't bother you. I'm here to tell you, and soon the imperial army, Du, will bring you good wine, meat and food, and welcome you. Tomorrow morning, military troops will escort them to the volcanic army to the south."

Zhang Junde hesitated slightly and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Wait, isn't this the land of the Song Dynasty? Why are you still walking south?"

Feng Yuan said: "This is a place where the fallen land is a place of bans and a place of bans. It is inconvenient for you to live here. One or two hundred miles south is the volcanic army, which is the world of the Song Dynasty, and you can settle down and establish a career."

"Oh——" Zhang Junde nodded, not understanding. They have been away from the Central Plains for too long and are not clear about these distinctions.

He brought Feng Yuan into the tent, ordered tea, and several club leaders surrounded Feng Yuan and asked non-stop. After arriving here, they joined Feng Yuan, and Feng Yuan went to Du Zhongxiao, without any time to ask.

Feng Yuan didn't know how Du Zhongxiao would arrange them, but just talked in general and introduced the customs and cultures nearby.

In a mess, a young man entered the tent from outside and saluted Zhang Junde: "Dad Zhang, there were many people coming outside, carrying wine and meat, saying that it was the yamen who came to welcome us."

Everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, the people from the government came so quickly, so they hurriedly got up and left the account with Feng Yuan.

At this time, the sun sets west, and a ray of rays of light blew on the horizon. A large group of people walked towards the tent in front of the sunset.

The two men in front carried a pig, the two men in the back each carried a pair of chickens, and some men in the back were carrying two pairs of fish, and they were swaying first. A young official riding a horse was surrounded by a dozen soldiers, while the men in the back were carrying food boxes, and some men in the back were carrying a few jars of wine.

When Feng Yuan saw this, he hurriedly said, "Du Zhijun is here, let's go and greet him!"

Several leaders of the community did not dare to neglect them, so they went forward together and greeted Du Zhongxiao.

Du Zhongxiao dismounted and bowed to everyone, saying, "You are here from afar, thank you for your hard work. I am ordered by the court to guard the land. I have come from a good place to come, and I have prepared some wine and food, and a ceremony for three animals to welcome you."

Several leaders of the society did not expect to be treated like this, and they all felt relieved and stepped forward to thank him.

Du Zhongxiao helped a few people up and said, "We will talk to the tent. The people I brought will pack up the wine and meat."

After entering the tent, several people asked Du Zhongxiao to sit down, each came forward to greet him, and reported to his own house. Du Zhongxiao had seen him one by one, and let everyone sit down.

Everyone sat down and Du Zhongxiao said, "You have come from afar and return to your hometown. I have arranged your future life, so don't worry. The yamen will send some military troops to escort you to the volcanic army in the south. When you get there, you have the skills and arrange for various businesses. Those who only know how to farm will provide you with the government and reclaim the land. If you can't do anything, then follow others to learn!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Zhang Junde bowed and said, "Officials, I heard from Feng Yuanwai that the yamen is recruiting craftsmen who can spin wool. Among us, some of us have this skill, making felt, blankets, and velvet cloth, and some of us know how to do it. Some of us really only know how to farm, because we are afraid that the officials will not need it."

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "Everyone is useful, so where is there no use? The volcanic army has countless idle fields, and there are fewer people who are farming."

Most of the people who traveled with him were not engaged in the wool industry. This was a heart-wrenching problem for several leaders of the society, and they were afraid that the government would blame him. When they heard that Du Zhongxiao was not concerned about this matter, everyone was completely relieved.

At this moment, a soldier came to report that the pigs, chickens and fish outside had been slaughtered.

Du Zhongxiao stood up: "You came from afar, thanks to the gods' blessing, and you will be safe all the way. I will prepare three animals, cook them for a while, and sacrifice them for heaven and earth. Let's go out of the tent, prepare some incense and candles, and sacrifice them for heaven and ancestors."

Several leaders of the society stood up together and their faces became serious. Buddhism in Hexi is prevalent. Although the customs of the Han people are still preserved, the details have changed a lot. When they first returned to their hometown, the government welcomed them warmly, and they were inspired. According to the tradition of Han people, they worshipped the heavens and ancestors, which reminded them of the blood of their ancestors flowing on their bodies, and suddenly they felt a sense of ritual.

Things were in a hurry and there was no time to prepare carefully. The sacrifice was burned half-baked and placed on the altar. Du Zhongxiao said the sacrifice and brought everyone to worship, burning some incense and candles. The matter is the focus, and the simplicity is also simple.

These people hadn't seen such a ceremony for many years, and everyone surrounded them and watched it. Du Zhongxiao took the club's head to salute, and the people around him suddenly knelt down and saluted with them. Almost suddenly, they felt that they had returned to their hometown in the Central Plains.

After the ceremony, everyone stood up and looked at the sun in the distance and had quietly slid behind the mountain.

Zhang Junde directed everyone to light a few bonfires to illuminate the area.

Du Zhongxiao said: "I brought some wine and food to enjoy."

According to the habits in my memory, Du Zhongxiao calculated the number of people and prepared wine and food according to ten people per table. Unfortunately, there were no tables here, so everyone could only sit on the ground and formed a few circles in front of the head of the club's tent.

Everything is done. Manager Dong from Yanliu Building directed the manpower to serve everyone. The dishes brought are actually sold immediately. Where can I get time to make it? There are only a few big dishes, which were made by the master of Yanliu Building.

Each table has a chicken, a fish, a plate of cooked lamb, and a braised elbow. The rest are fresh and full of vegetables.

The soldiers divided a jar of wine for each table and patted it, and the wine was filled with fragrance.

Fan Heiyan smelled the smell of wine and said regretfully: "This is the wine I drank in the city today! If I had known that there would be some drinks in the evening, why would we have to go to the city to spend money? Today is really unfair!"

Those who had not entered the city laughed together and felt like they were breathing a sigh of relief.

Du Zhongxiao and the club took their seats and said to everyone: "Time is in a hurry, just use some, don't feel shabby."

Everyone said they didn't dare to drink a bowl with Du Zhongxiao. Putting down the wine bowl, Zhang Junde's face changed. After thinking for a while, he suddenly got up and went into the tent.

After a moment, Zhang Junde came out of the tent and held a few pieces of coarse cloth in his hand, a few silver coins and a paper.

When he arrived in front of Du Zhongxiao, Zhang Junde knelt on the ground, held the things in his hand to Du Zhongxiao, and said, "Officials, we thirty-six people have formed a wish to join forces and return together, and today's affairs are perfect. This is the community note that everyone stamped that day, and there is still the remaining money."

Du Zhongxiao took the thing in his hand, and based on his memory, he saw that the cloth was cheesecloth, covered with seals of the text. I have seen silver coins, which were transmitted from the Western Regions from the west. I don’t know if it was Persia or a force that cast. The popular cloth coins in the Western Regions were cheesecloths, which were covered with seals of the government. These people came from Gaochang, and they thought they were Gaochang’s cloth coins.

Open the document, and above is the social order established at that time. Let’s make a wish to return home together, and each pays for the same amount as travel expenses. It also states that each will help each other on the road, disasters, misfortunes, and destiny will be fulfilled. Behind it is the names of the social persons, each with their own seals, and they will press them.

Du Zhongxiao pressed the thing in his hand and said to Zhang Junde: "Okay, I'll take it away for you for the time being. After returning to the Volcano Army, everything will be settled clearly and start again. Don't worry, when you get there, the government has everything and everyone has a place to settle down."
