The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the camp, Fanning stepped out of the carriage and looked at the camp, this was originally supposed to be the barracks, the camp did not have a camp wall, only dug a deep and wide camp river, surrounded the camp, and the canal as a whole, maybe the years are long, the banks of the camp are planted with willow trees, groups of women are squatting by the river to wash, although it is late autumn, but there are still many children swimming in the river.

Fan Chunren led Fan Ning into the camp, and introduced: "This time is the largest number of immigrants, with a population of 160,000, which is equivalent to the people of several counties immigrating together, and the daily food and various materials are very expensive, and we also have to prevent epidemics and maintain order and law and order, we have mobilized more than 2,000 students to participate in the management, and during this time, everyone is really a little exhausted." ”

Fan Ning nodded and said: "The imperial court also knows that the burden of Yangzhou is very heavy, but more than 100,000 people emigrated at the same time, and the imperial court must consider the receptivity of the southern continent, so try to settle in Yangzhou for a longer time, and leave time for the southern continent to prepare." ”

Fan Chunren hurriedly explained: "I'm not complaining to the imperial court, it's just that this batch of immigrants is indeed different from the past, they are Han people of the Liao Kingdom, although they are all compatriots, they still feel a little out of place." ”

"Can you give me an example?" Fanning asked in a deep voice.

Fan Chunren thought for a while and said: "The most obvious thing is that they are full of vigilance and distrust of our officials, such as registration information, the previous Song people's immigration registration was very smooth, but they are not, one is unwilling to participate in the registration, even if they reluctantly participate in the registration, but most of what they say is untrue, and even nonsense, especially in terms of age and gender, the eldest mother is said to be the uncle, the daughter is said to be the son, and the father's age is only two years older than him, so information abounds, resulting in us having to go door-to-door to register, very tired." ”

Fanning frowned, "Why do you make up random information?" ”

"It should be that there were false rumors before, saying that the distribution of land in the southern continent is mainly for young men, and in order to divide more land, they are desperately increasing the number of young men in the family."

Fan Ning said unhappily: "Then you need to dispel the rumors and make it clear to everyone that the allocation of land is based on households, not on the basis of male youth, and it is important to get true and complete information, and you can't hand over an untrue piece of information to the Southern Continent, so that the officials of the Southern Continent laugh at Yangzhou." ”

"We have done our best, after door-to-door registration, the information will obviously become true, and we will know how ridiculous the previous registration information is, I just gave an example, the Han people in Liao are not the same as the people of the Great Song Dynasty."

Fanning said lightly: "I just listen to you keep complaining." ”

Fan Chunren smiled bitterly, "It's really bitter, especially more than a thousand scholars who gave up their studies and worked day and night, and many people fainted from exhaustion, as the chief officer, I must say a few fair words to my subordinates." ”

Fanning groaned and said, "That's it! In recognition of the contribution of Yangzhou scholars to immigrants, I went back to discuss with a few ministers and took care of Yangzhou a little bit in terms of the number of places for the liberation test, but you should not expect to give too much. ”

Fan Chunren grinned, "Hearing the strings and knowing the elegant meaning, it is worthy of the little Fan Xianggong!" ”

Fanning saw a group of old people sitting in the open space chatting at this time, so he smiled and said, "Let's go and see!" ”

Fan Chunren knew that the Han people in Liao were different from the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and he would not be so in awe of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said to the group of old men: "Excuse me, this is Fan Xianggong, who came from the capital, and wants to talk to you." ”

A group of old men looked at each other, and one of them asked cautiously, "But Fan Ning Fan Xianggong, who led the army to attack the Liao State?" ”

"Exactly!"

This group of old people knelt down and kowtowed one after another, "Xiaomin to meet Fan Xianggong!" ”

Many people around heard that Fan Ning, who was attacking the Liao State, was coming, and they came over to kneel down and kowtow, and soon, thousands of people knelt around.

Fan Ning hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "You don't have to be like this, everyone get up!" ”

Several old men were very excited and said: "It was Fan Xianggong who sent an army to rescue us from suffering, and Fan Xianggong is a living bodhisattva of great compassion!" ”

Fan Ning didn't know that when the Song army fleet rescued hundreds of thousands of Han people in Liao State in the mines of Liaoyang Prefecture, they all told Han people that Fan Xianggong sent them to rescue them, and Fan Ning's reputation for rescuing the suffering and rescuing people had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of every Han people in Liao State.

The news of the arrival of Fan Ning Xianggong soon spread throughout the camp, and the entire camp was boiling, more than 100,000 people poured in from all directions, and the people who were pressed by the black pressure had already knelt on the ground, and everyone was very excited, clasping their palms and bowing.

This spectacular scene stunned Fan Chunren and more than a thousand scholars, how could these Han people of the Liao State who were difficult to serve suddenly become so deferential and pious?

...........

Fanning was also deeply moved, and he simply climbed onto the high platform that the soldiers had just erected, and there was a surging crowd of people and a pair of excited eyes under the stage.

Fanning waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers! ”

As soon as Fan Ning spoke, hundreds of thousands of people gradually quieted down, Fan Ning slowly swept over everyone's faces, reading the excitement and expectation in their hearts, he took a deep breath, and raised his voice again: "Early the day after tomorrow, everyone will board the big ship and go to sea to a new home, I know what everyone is looking forward to?" What are you nervous about? What are you worried about?

First of all, I would like to tell you that after three years, when you look back at your choices today, you will definitely not regret them, and you will feel deeply fortunate that you have chosen a good life.

Some people will worry that the government will trick you into mining and becoming slaves, but I, Fanning, stand here and tell you that it will never be! You are reclamation people, pioneers, not slaves, I, Fanning, rescued you from the mine, I will never let you be slaves again, we have the same blood in our bodies, our ancestors are brothers, we are friends, I rescue everyone, I want to give everyone dignity, stand up with dignity, live with dignity! ”

The warm applause and cheers were deafening, and many people were so excited that they shed tears, Fan Xianggong's every sentence was on his heart, and when it came to their hearts, they were not slaves, they also had dignity, they wanted to stand up and live uprightly.

Fanning waved his hand to quiet everyone, and continued to say loudly: "Some people say that going to the Southern Continent will be very difficult, and I admit that when you go to the Southern Continent, everything has to be created by your own hands, you have to reclaim the land, you have to build a house, and you have to dig a well for yourself, but these hardships are all for a better life in the future, for yourself, for your children, I, like everyone, believe that this hard work is worth it." ”

At this time, Fanning's voice became muffled, and he passionately described a beautiful picture for everyone.

"The southern continent is a rich and fertile land, where the climate is mild and humid, there are many rivers, you choose a land full of flowers to build your new home, build a spacious and magnificent house, the front and back yards are full of flowers, outside the yard is a large fertile and vast land, that belongs to your farmland, you sow seeds in spring, and harvest heavy golden wheat in autumn, you can also raise hundreds of sheep, you can grow more than a dozen acres of vegetables, you can also make a little fruit wine, children can go to school, The old people gather under the red date trees to drink tea together and enjoy their old age in peace......."

Everyone's thoughts and hearts flew away to the rich land following Fanning's description.

..........

"After listening to Xiao Fan Xianggong's description, to be honest, we all want to go to the Southern Continent a little bit." As they left the camp, a group of officials and soldiers smiled at Fanning.

"You can also apply for immigration, the imperial court will soon introduce favorable conditions to encourage scholars to settle in the southern continent, where schools need teaching assistants, the government also needs scribes, and workshops need scholars to participate in management, if you don't want to settle there, then as long as you support for five years, you will be deemed to have passed the examination, and you will be promoted when you come back."

I heard that after five years of support, you can get the status of a lifter, which makes many scholars tempted.

Fan Ning said with a smile: "Apply early and make a profit early, once the imperial court announces it, there will be a large number of scholars applying, and maybe there will be exams at that time, and it will not be so easy at that time." ”

"What does that need? How to apply? Several scholars couldn't help but ask.

"Apply to your Fan Zhizhou, the conditions! As long as students studying in the county school state can apply, the day after tomorrow the fleet will set off, if you apply today, maybe you can catch up! ”

Fan Ning looked at Fan Chunren with a bitter face and smiled, boarded the carriage and left, he still had to go to Zhu Qi to see the situation of the North Island fleet. ”
