Fan Chang knelt on the ground and cried with his elder brother and sister-in-law's legs. The gray-haired man and woman stroked Fan Chang's head and tears flowed. The two half-year-old boys were kneeling beside Fan Chang, holding one of his arms and crying. The movement here alarmed the crowd around him. The soldiers and civil servants all felt their noses sore and their eyes were clear and astringent. Among the returning crowd, the painful past of countless people was aroused. The sound of crying slowly spread among the crowd.

Xiaoliang walked over with his eyes wiped his eyes: "Brother Fan, I found my elder brother and sister-in-law. This is a happy event. Why are you crying? Hurry up and let my elder brother and sister-in-law register it. After returning home, I can divide the house. It's serious to settle down!"

A voice woke Fan Chang up, who was immersed in the joyful and sad mood of reunion after a long separation, stood up and wiped away his tears, "Brother, sister-in-law, I will take you to register and be fine when you come back, everything will be fine."

"Achang, do you really divide the house and the land? In the past, our family just rented other people's land." The old man was a little happy, nervous, and a little looking forward to it.

"Of course, it's divided into houses and land." Fan Chang said vigorously: "Your Majesty the Emperor is kind and ordered the construction of houses for the returned people. Many of them were built by my younger brother. Brother, after the registration is included, I went to tell the person in charge that we must divide the big houses for our elder brother and sister-in-law. Who said that our family has many people? Big brother and sister-in-law, Big Niu Erniu, and Big Girl, Hey, Big Girl, why didn't you see Big Girl?"

Fan Chang turned his head and looked around.

The old man lowered his head and fell down with tears. However, the old woman cried again, raised her fists and hit the old man hard, "Achang, this slaughtered girl sold her to a businessman from Luoyang, and she could never find her again. My poor girl!"

Fan Chang froze there as if struck by lightning. After a while, he looked at the old man tightly: "Brother, you really sold the big girl?"

The old man cried and said, "At that time, the whole family would starve to death. If you don't sell the big girl, the big and two giants would starve to death. I wanted to sell myself, but no one wanted it! Achang, it's useless to be the big brother."

Fan Chang widened his eyes, looked at the shameless elder brother, and reached out and pressed the other person's shoulder hard: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely be able to get the big girl back. Believe me, I can get it back."

Xiaoliang, who was on the side, also nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, brother and sister-in-law, our brother Fan is so amazing, we will definitely be able to get the girl back."

"You are Guan'er now? Can you really get the big girl back?"

"My brother is now an officer of the Ming Dynasty, and his subordinates are in charge of thousands of people!" Fan Chang pointed to the back, "Brother, have you seen it? All the soldiers in this area are my brother's subordinates, so believe me, I will definitely find the big girl back, and our family will definitely be able to reunite."

"Okay, okay, Achang is promising." The old man burst into tears again.

"Let's go, I'll take you to register!" Holding the old man and his wife's hand, Fan Chang walked straight to the shed in Changzhu County. Xiaoliang behind him also smiled and held a young man and followed behind him with one hand.

The procedures for re-registration and entry are very simple. Those who come back can report their original place, name, and age. The basic resettlement principle is to return to their original place. However, there are other arrangements in Taoyuan County. People who approach the border will not be resettled. They basically retreat a lot from the rear and rebuilt villages. This is the case with Changzhu where Fan Chang is located. The people who come back are basically placed near the county town.

Fan Chang personally went to register and borrow the eldest brother and sister-in-law. After the registration was completed with the civil servant, he received four iron plates. He handed the iron plates to the old man and said, "Brother, I have military affairs now and cannot send you back, but there will be special personnel to take you to the resettlement site. If you have packed these iron plates, you can get rations in the corresponding place. Xiaoliang, follow my elder brother and the others back to find Lord Feng from Changzhu and ask him to take more care of him."

"Yes, Brother Fan, I promise to let my elder brother and sister-in-law live in the largest and most spacious house there and get the best land." Xiaoliang agreed.

Fan Chang patted Xiaoliang's shoulder with relief.

"Don't bother this brother!" The old man shook his head and said, "Brother, I don't want to live in the best house and plant the best land. I just need a house to shelter from the wind and rain, and a few acres of thin fields that can make us fill our stomachs. Achang, over the years, we have been there, and we can only live in huts with air leakage on all sides, and we are hungry and full."

Fan Chang burst into tears again after saying a few words. "Brother, you don't have to worry about these. Brother, I am a soldier from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has a clear order and has special care for the military family. This is not the younger brother's use of his power to favor personal gain. When he arrives, you will know that the hard life is over." He suddenly remembered something, took out a dirty veil from his arms, opened it, but there was a stack of colorful paper money inside: "Brother, I'll give you this money. When I arrive, don't be reluctant to leave where I need money. My younger brother is rich now."

"Is this money?" The old man widened his eyes as he looked at the stack of colorful papers.

"Of course it's money, it's our Ming Dynasty's money!" Xiaoliang said with a smile. "It's the same as silver."

"Brother, this is my military pay for the past few years. I used to be alone, and I had to spend money in the military camp, and I had no place to spend money. So I saved a few hundred taels. You can spend money. Now my younger brother is the deputy lieutenant, and I have a salary of two hundred taels a year." Fan Chang said proudly.

"I can't ask for this money. You keep it and you have to buy land. I'll say, "Wife, I can't ask for your money!" The old man quickly wrapped the handkerchief and stuffed it into Fan Chang's hand.

Fan Chang grabbed the money and stuffed it into the hands of the woman aside, "The family didn't say two words, I was in the military camp, and I had no place to go to flowers. In the past, my elder brother and sister-in-law raised me, but now I can make money, so I can't raise my elder brother and sister-in-law? Besides, I just want to talk about my wife, and I have to ask my elder brother and sister-in-law to arrange it for me, and I have to take it, and I have all the food. My younger brother has two hundred taels of silver every year!"

"The deputy lieutenant is two hundred taels. When Brother Fan is promoted to the lieutenant, it will be four hundred taels!" Xiaoliang poked out his head and said again.

"So many?" the old man exclaimed. "Achang, you are really successful."

"It's a long way!" Fan Chang was a little proud and reached out to slap Xiaoliang, "You're talking too much, leave quickly, and get my elder brother and sister-in-law and the others back."

"Okay, brother and sister-in-law, let's go now!" Xiaoliang said with a smile.

Seeing the figures of the elder brother, sister-in-law and two nephews gradually fading away, the smile on Fan Chang's face gradually disappeared, and he clenched his fists hard: "Big girl, uncle will definitely find you back."

Wuling County, Zhaoguan, General's Mansion.

The return of the plundered people, which lasted for more than a month, finally came to an end. During this period, the three counties under the Wuling War Zone were completely mobilized to resettle these refugees far away from their hometowns. It can be said that they were very tired. When the officials at the bottom finally breathed a sigh of relief and could return to the past step-by-step days, the Shangguans had no time to let themselves relax.

After Ben Kuan had just finished his inspection work in Changzhu, he rushed to Zhaoguan and went all the way to Zhaoguan to discuss the next thing together with General Wuling and Wuling County Magistrate Chen Ye, and Yiyang County Magistrate Wan Fu.

In the small conference hall, the four highest officials of the Wuling War Zone were all haggard. Everyone was under the dark circles of their eyes, and Ben Kuan lost weight again, but the four people were extremely energetic, forcing Qi to return the captured people. This was not only a matter of greatly increasing the national prestige, but also a very meaningful thing for the entire Wuling War Zone.

Wu Ling raised a thin booklet in his hand, looked at the three county magistrates and said, "How many people in the past were inexplicable in the past were not verified, but according to rough estimates, when the Qi people retreated, there were as many as 500,000 young and strong children who had plundered from these three counties. What they wanted to destroy was not only our present, but also our future, but their treacherous plan did not succeed. Now these people are back, although there are only more than 300,000 people, but this is still a great victory for our Ming Dynasty. At the same time, it will greatly increase the strength of our Wuling War Zone. You must know that those who were plundered by them were basically young and strong. Now, these years have passed, and the children of that year can now be regarded as laborers and can work."

"The vast majority of people who came back were very weak. When they were in Qi, they did the heaviest work, but they couldn't eat enough and were not warm in clothes. Many people's bodies had collapsed." Ben Kuan's tone was a little heavy. As a witness to witnessing almost all the poachers who returned on the front line, he was not as optimistic as Wu Ling.

"Damn Qi people must have intercepted all the strongest people and hid them. We should protest to them again. In just a few years, will there be no 200,000 people? If you want to see people in your life and corpses in your life, even the ashes will be returned to us."

The governor of Yiyang County, Wanfu, was born as a soldier and had a fierce temper.

"This is an angry word, it's impossible." Wuling County Magistrate Chen shook his head vigorously: "There are no real numbers for how many people were kidnapped at the beginning. If you want to say this, the other party asks you to take out the roster to compare. What do you say?"

Wanfu was furious: "Chen Ye, where are you standing?"

Chen also spread his hands: "Brother Wan, just discussing the matter. If you don't make trouble in such a thing, it would be a strange thing. Even if there is still, you can only take other methods to get them back in the future. It is definitely impossible to use normal channels. Now it is not about considering the problems of those people. What we need to consider now is how to place the people who come back."
