Now is the time to return home after finishing farm work. There are many people in the village. There are so many people who don’t know anyone in the village. It seems particularly abrupt in the quiet village, and it is reasonable to be stopped by others.

Cao Ang stared at the young man who asked them for a while before clasping his fists and bowing: "That's right, I wonder where brother is here, why are you still carrying guns on your back?"

The young man carried an eliminated flintlock rifle on his back, but that was also a gun. He could still kill people when he hit the key point.

The young man waved his hoe on his shoulders, changed into a more comfortable position and smiled: "This is Yile Village, and the gun was sent to us by the county magistrate's office to prevent wild beasts."

The young man lifted his spear on his back was full of lust. No man doesn't like guns.

As for the county magistrate's office, it is actually very easy to understand. After all, this is the territory of the Yiluo tribe. The Han people have never been involved in it before, but they do not have the ability to compete with wild beasts for survival space. Moreover, there are too few Han people who have moved here, and each of them is a treasure. The county magistrate's office does not want them to be buried in the mouth of the wild beasts and can also protect themselves by firing a gun.

Cao Ang asked with a smile: "I heard that my brother has accent from Youzhou?"

The young man nodded and said, "Uncle is indeed knowledgeable. My ancestral home is from Youbeiping. During the reign of Emperor Ling, my father moved to Liaodong to avoid the Yellow Turban riot. He originally planned to go back after the war, but unexpectedly he was moved to Yiluo again and became further and further away from home."

In recent years, the imperial court has been immigrating to the border, but only saw people coming in and not returning outside the border. Do you still want to go back after leaving the border?

Cao Ang comforted: "Why do you need to bury your bones? Life is everywhere, and it's life that's all life."

The young man smiled and said, "The uncle is a scholar at first sight. I can't even understand what he said. I will take you to meet the village chief. The county has regulations that foreign populations need to be registered when we come here."

Cao Ang asked with interest: "Why is this?"

The young man explained as he walked: "This was the territory of the Yiluo tribe. For a few years, we Han people moved here, and there were still many savages from the Yiluo tribe living in the mountains. They came out to attack us every now and then, with a greater threat than wild beasts. And after we had been in contact with us for a long time, these guys also learned to be smart. They knew to disguise themselves as Han people, but the problem was not big. Others could be used as an accent but not. As long as they dared to show their heads, they were immediately caught by us and sent to the government and moved to western Liaoning."

This is also the policy of Liaozhou. Cao Ang was very afraid of the Tungus savages hidden in the deep mountains and forests. When he attacked and destroyed Fuyu and Goguryeo, he ordered the capture of Tungus savages to be sent to the mainland to enrich the population in the pass. For more than ten years, this policy has provided millions of people to the empty pass. It can be seen how many Tungus savages hidden in the deep mountains and forests. Let them develop for hundreds of years. The consequences can be referred to the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Cao Ang smiled and said, "Catching the savages will be rewarded. Also, when you moved here, did the governor's mansion not promise any benefits?"

There must be some, but there is no benefit for anyone to leave their hometown and come to this broken land.

The young man smiled and said, "The governor's office promised to move to Yiluo to get ten times the land, and also distributed free oxen and agricultural tools and grain crops plus tax exemption for ten years. We came here. Alas, we were mainly afraid of being poor when we were young, otherwise we would not be so unconventional."

Tax exemption is a must. In recent years, the imperial court has not only not collected taxes from Liaodong, but also given Liaodong a lot of subsidies to support the development of Liaodong. Immigration cannot only move the people to the border, but also ensure the quality of life of the people. In addition, the weather in Liaodong is very cold. If you ignore it, it is not immigration to the border, but to take human life aside.

A group of people walked and chatted, and soon came to the gate of a courtyard. The young man pushed the door open and invited everyone to enter. As soon as the door opened, Cao Ang saw a group of people eating around the stone table in the courtyard. One of them knew him, Tian Yu, the governor of Liaozhou.

After Yang Xiu was transferred to the capital that year, Tian Yu took over as the governor of Liaozhou.

Cao Ang was stunned for a moment and walked in. Everyone who was dining also saw them. Tian Yu was the first to stand up to meet him. The others also followed him when they saw him standing up.

Before Tian Yu could get close, he bowed and said, "Young Master Cao is here, it's such a coincidence."

I thought it was not a coincidence that they met. This guy must have received news from Mengzhou, knowing that he had gone to the north, so he came here to block him.

Cao Ang clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Eunuch Tian, ​​I have been together for more than ten years, so I'm fine."

Tian Yu smiled and said, "I'll tell my son Hongfu everything is fine. Come on, I'll introduce it to you."

Except for him and two guards who were having dinner in the yard, the rest were all the village chief's family. Tian Yu focused on introducing him to the village chief and invited him to the table to start dining.

There are only more than 30 households in Yile Village, with a total population of less than 300. The village surrounded by the city walls can accommodate nearly 10,000 people. In addition to the people's homes, the village has also built several empty houses, specifically used to entertain foreigners or newly moved people from the government. Tian Yu and Cao Ang and their party were placed in these guest rooms.

After dinner, Tian Yu personally took Cao Ang to the guest room for rest, and sent someone to burn the kang to make hot water so that the few of them could soak their feet well.

Cao Ang sat on the sofa and looked at Tian Yu with interest and smiled: "Tian Aiqing, you have nothing to say to me?"

Tian Yu rubbed his hands and smiled guiltily: "Your Majesty is wise. I am here to wait for you. I heard from the merchants in Mengzhou that you are heading north and guessed that you will come. Therefore, people have arranged to respond in the nearby villages, so they must let them ensure your Majesty's safety."

"I just knew."

Cao Ang smiled and said, "It's good that you're here. Let me tell me about the situation in Liaodong. The memorial is not very clear."

"Here."

Tian Yu smiled and said, "In recent years, I have firmly implemented the policies set by Your Majesty in Liaodong and sent people to explore the north. The achievements have been pretty good. In addition to the five counties including Liaoxi, Liaodong, Changli, Xuantu, and Lelang, Liaozhou has added seven counties in recent years. The territories of Goguryeo, Fuyu and Yiluo were all included in the Great Wei Dynasty. All the highways and railways between the twelve counties in Liaodong were built. With these roads, the court could completely control the twelve counties in Liaozhou."

The countries in Liaodong, like the Western Regions, were dissatisfied with Wang Hua because they were too far away from the Central Plains, and the imperial court had no control over them, so they could only allow them to develop barbaricly. With highways and railways, it was different. The distance was infinitely pulled in. The imperial court could arrive in time when encountering any emergencies.

Despite this, Cao Ang, who had persecuted paranoia, was still not relieved. He not only vigorously migrated the Han people, but did not think about Liaozhou asking for food and people when the battle with the pseudo-Han was the most intense. Liaozhou had developed vigorously for nearly twenty years and finally captured all the three eastern provinces of later generations. What kind of grand occasion will Liaozhou be in another thirty years? It is exciting to think about it.

Cao Ang said: "Building roads is just a means, not a purpose. If you want stability in Liaozhou, it depends on the people, how are the people's lives, and whether there are any problems such as housing, medical education, etc.?"
