Looking at the high village gate in front, the young man stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, saying to the old servant carrying the load: "We are so worried about being safe all the way!"

The old servant put down his burden, straightened his waist and smiled, "The Shangguo of the Song Dynasty, although this is a border, it is not comparable to Jiaozhi. Where can the thieves come from in broad daylight?"

The two of them talked a few words and took a break. The old servant took up the burden and headed towards the village gate of Ningming Town.

At this time, the sun sets west, and it is no longer as hot as noon. A cool breeze blows towards you. The master and servant who are relieved are in a good mood and follow the pedestrians into the village gate.

Huang Anming's family has been sent to Yuezhou Prison City, Jinghu North Road, which has been changed to a town directly under Taiping County. The current prison town is a small leader of an imperial guard from Yongzhou. Local officials were abolished, and the tax paid by merchants was suddenly reduced, and it rushed here from all directions. Ning Ming quickly became an important town on Zuojiang Road as if he was breathing.

As a commercial-oriented area, Ningming Town Village Gate inspection was very relaxed. As long as there were no prohibited items, they would be released immediately. The master and servant did not encounter any trouble.

When we arrived in the town, the boy saw that the road was wide and all the newly paved stone roads were neat and clean. The vendors on both sides of the road were enthusiastic and pedestrians wandered leisurely, and there was a peaceful atmosphere. There were willows planted on both sides of the road, and there were some banana trees, and there were even peach trees mixed in it. The pink peaches were ripe, which was particularly attractive.

"This is the **** country. How can the foreign countries have this kind of atmosphere? I miss my family for more than 200 years, and now I have only seen the people in the country!"

The boy spoke while wandering on the road with the old servant carrying a load.

Before we knew it, it was late June, and the weather was as hot as one day. During the day, the hot sun was hanging in the sky. I wish I could burn the whole world. At night, there was no sun. The water vapor steeped, wet and hot. From morning to night, people's bodies seemed to be soaked in water, and there was no time to dry.

Xu Ping couldn't stand the stuffy weather, so he built a pavilion in the backyard of the government office and stayed there every day.

There are many more people in Pingxiang now, but they are all officers and soldiers and sugar workers, and there is no trade route. There are no merchants to communicate. Several new restaurants have been opened on the market, all of which serve the above personnel. They are not as prosperous as those in Ningming.

There are few people, but few affairs. Although Li Xiang'an, the former Zhidong, also opened a restaurant together, his family moved to Taiping County, leaving only a supervisor here to take care of his business. Pingxiang is really not a good place to live now. Except for those who cannot leave business, the rich have moved away, either to Taiping or Ningming.

The entire Pingxiangdong is now a large construction site and a large military camp. It is busy everywhere.

The people below were busy, so Xu Ping was not that busy. He was not a person who liked to cause trouble. He talked to Sang Yi in the back yamen about the situation and played chess. The chess in this era was still slightly different from those in later generations. Xu Ping felt awkward and changed it to the appearance of later generations, which was quite interesting to play. However, the Song people generally had a strong gambling spirit, and only he and Sang Yi played this game, and their team was not very interested in it.

On that day, Xu Ping and Sang Yi were fighting against the chessboard in the pavilion. A soldier came in to report that a young man had come outside and wanted to see Xu Ping.

After reporting, I handed over the famous post.

Xu Ping took it and read the famous post as a man named Chen Tianming. His ancestors were from Quanzhou, Fujian, but now they live in Jiaozhi and Tangzhou.

There were only famous posts, and no letters were attached. Xu Ping didn't know why this person had to meet him. After thinking for a while, he thought about his ancestors as Han people and fell into a foreign land, or asked the soldiers to take him to the flower hall.

After sealing the chessboard with Sang Yi, Xu Ping turned to the flower hall. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a sixteen-year-old boy standing there, looking around curiously.

The soldier made a loud noise. When the young man saw Xu Ping, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Student Chen Tianming, I have seen the official entrusting. I am so arrogant that I hope to forgive my sins!"

"No need to be polite, sit down and talk."

After saying that, Xu Ping should sit down in the main seat first. Chen Tianming saw that Xu Ping had sat down, so he sat down.

Xu Ping ordered the soldiers to serve tea, and then asked: "Why did your ancestors come to Jiaozhi? How many years have you been?"

Chen Tianming said respectfully: "The student's ancestors were originally scholars from Quanzhou. They participated in the Ministry of Rites and failed the Jinshi. Later, someone from the same hometown went to Jiaozhi to become an official and recruited him as an aide. They were then wandered in a foreign land for more than two hundred years."

"Oh, then you are also a native Jiaozhi person. How come you come to Pingxiang?"

"Students have been reading poetry and books since childhood, and have always admired the hometown of sages in their hometown. In recent years, they have often heard people say that they were self-promoted to Yongzhou to promote their official positions and engrave books. Their culture is prosperous, and their students are deeply impressed. Jiaozhi has become a small country, and they have nowhere to go to study. Last year, my father and immortal went there, but they lost their concerns. The students sold their property and decided to return to their country to study."

After Chen Tianming finished speaking, he looked at Xu Ping carefully.

Xu Ping remained silent for a moment.

He accepted Chen Tianming, and he was a reincarnated person. Although the court has no previous examples, there are roughly traces to be found. A series of preferential policies are nothing more than to allow him to enroll in school, give him idle farming, and exempt taxes. There are so many preferential policies for reincarnated people, so naturally there is no limit. The main reason is that they are not allowed to move at will, and the government also has to ask about the marriage, mainly because they are afraid that they will have unfair intentions and cause trouble.

The Central Plains was the lord of the world. Although the world was great, all the kings and people came to be as if they were coming. The Song Dynasty added a word for returning to those who defected to foreign countries, which was mainly divided into correct people and return to Ming people. Other names such as loyalty and righteousness, loyalty and courage were only commendations, but they were still under these two categories.

The people who returned to the Central Plains were from the Yuan Dynasty. Later, they were trapped in foreign countries and returned to the Central Plains, which was probably because they returned to the Central Plains. In fact, they were Han people who fell into foreign countries and chose to return to the country for various reasons. The Tang Dynasty had a vast territory. Although it did not immigrate abroad on a large scale like the Han Dynasty, many people were still living in small countries around them, and there were many of them in various reasons such as doing business.

People who return to the Ming Dynasty, Yuan was not from the Central Plains, but from the people from the Kudong came to the Central Plains, which was probably the one who secretly returned to the Ming Dynasty. That is, they were ethnic minorities, and those who chose to be attached to the Ming Dynasty, the clan returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the descendants of the people returned to the Ming Dynasty. The typical example is Huang Tianbiao, who accepted the land and returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the clan belonged to the Ming Dynasty, so he enjoyed many discounts.

Although the official policy of the Song Dynasty welcomed both the correct and the Ming people, there were still slight differences. The most important thing was that the correct people were mainly in the north, while Xuping and Yongzhou were along the southwest border, as well as Jinghu, recruited the Ming people. The boy had no problem with his identity, but the place was a bit embarrassing.

The governance here in Yongzhou was not strict, and there were no people who had returned from the Gentiles before, but they all quietly came and entrusted minor officials to be included in the household registration. This young man was the first person Xu Ping met with whom he came with the title of a reincarnation, so he was inevitably more cautious.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping decided to follow the usual policies. Although he has been in a foreign land for more than two hundred years and has been around for a while, I hope he can't keep him away even if he comes back.

"Let's do it, you live here for a few days first. When someone with reliable people returns to Taiping County, you will go back with you. There is a school for sugar services in Taiping County, so you will first attach a book to study there. I will be able to arrange everything else that needs life."

When Chen Tianming heard Xu Ping's response, he was overjoyed and said, "The officials are very kind, but the students will never forget them! However, the daily needs are not worth the officials' worries. Students have little savings here, which is enough for daily use. I heard that the officials are the first-class Jinshi in the fifth year of Tiansheng. If you can hear the teachings, you will be grateful!"

Xu Ping knew that he was a Jinshi, and although he had been studying hard for several years, he was always unsure, so he usually didn't talk about learning with others. After hearing Chen Tianming's words, he said, "I'm busy here and I want to talk about learning with you, but I don't have time. You should go to Taiping County, where a new teacher came from Jiangnan, named Li Rui, who has a very good knowledge. The hometown of poetry and books in Jiangnan, and his knowledge is also very unusual, so you should go to him to study."

Chen Tianming felt a little disappointed, but he was not easy to show it, so he thanked Xu Ping for his kindness.

As for the preferential policies that should be given, it is Chen Tianming’s own business.

After talking about the serious matters, Xu Ping asked: "Jiazhi is a county in the Central Plains, and it has been a thousand years since then. I think there are many people who come to the Central Plains there."

"Compared with the natives, we are still too few of us in the Central Plains and are often bullied by them. However, after years of age, even fewer settlements have been formed. The convenient place I live in is all descendants of the Central Plains, and there are thousands of people."

Xu Ping was surprised: "So much? It's beyond my expectations!"

In Lingnan, even if there is a large plain in Jiaozhi, the settlements of thousands of people are quite powerful. Unexpectedly, the Han people have this scale. The Han Dynasty opened up the border and accompanied by the large number of people from the Central Plains to move out. At this time, Xu Ping still had a large number of Han and barbarians left behind at that time. In the Tang Dynasty, the contrary, most of them moved the frontier population to the mainland, but he didn't expect that so many people could be left in Jiaozhi.

Chen Tianming said: "After hundreds of years of accumulation, there are not many thousands of people. Besides, many people from Central Plains intermarried with natives, and a lot of people have been saved."

Xu Ping nodded, remembering this matter in his heart. After chatting for a few more words, he asked the official to take Chen Tianming down.

When he returned to the Houya, he saw Sang Yi still waiting for him with a gaze. Xu Ping smiled and finished playing the chess with him. He couldn't stop and said he would take a break.

The soldier served tea, and Xu Ping drank it while talking about Chen Tianming to Sang Yi.

Finally, Xu Ping shook his head and sighed, "But I didn't expect there were so many Han people in Jiaozhi. What would happen if they came to the north like Han people, hundreds or thousands of times?"

"I advise you not to touch this head! In Yongzhou, the imperial court only wants to be quiet in the border. Since the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, those who are in charge of the Ming Dynasty often do not stay or send them back, just because they are afraid of Jiaozhi making excuses. If you attract thousands of people at once, you will be afraid that you will be slapped on your head with a hat that is tyrannical in the border line and will be held on your head!"
