In May of the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse, the Beijing-Xiaotong Railway was finally completed.
The end point is near the military city of the Far Northern Army.
This place was named Haixi Prefecture by the emperor and was under the direct administration of Beizhili.
The prefect was Shi Kefa, the former official of Xi'an Prefecture.
Shi Kefa was a disciple of Zuo Guangdou, the Minister of Water Resources.
He was an official elected through the imperial examination.
He was praised by the Ministry of Civil Affairs as "diligent in royal affairs, loving the people, honest, and stable in work."
The meaning of this comment is that there is no talent for organic change and not enough courage.
In his previous life, Zhu Youxiao admired Shi Kefa's national integrity, but also regretted that he could not establish a wise king or command a strong general, so that his success failed.
So he decided to send Shi Kefa to the Far North to see if he could be trained to become a truly capable minister, rather than a famous minister.
He asked people to call Zuo Guangdou and Shi Kefa, and said to Shi Kefa: "Xianzhi, you and the Queen are fellow countrymen, equivalent to the country's uncle, so the Queen has high hopes for you, a fellow countryman, and hopes that your hometown can produce a capable person." ah."
Zuo Guangdou's face turned dark red, and he was a little ashamed of his father's inappropriate words and deeds.
He even used the word "uncle of state".
At this time, Shi Kefa, a stupid boy, was so grateful that he burst into tears.
And if the word "Guojiu" spreads, firstly Zhang Cheng will be furious, and secondly some people will think that Shi Kefa's important role is because of the Queen's relationship, but this boy probably can't think of that much.
Sure enough, Shi Kefa's tears had already come out.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "I thank the Queen for taking care of me.
I will do my best for the great tomorrow until my death."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Get up.
The reason why I came to you is not because of the queen's words, but because of your diligence, so I called you to entrust you with an important task, and the queen knows that you are her I am a young fellow, so I was moved to cherish my talents and said those words to me.”
After Shi Kefa got up, Zhu Youxiao said: "Because of the recommendation of the Ministry of Officials, I am going to let you go to the far north to be the prefect.
There is the newly opened Haixi Prefecture, located to the west of Xiaohai.
This is the same as Xi'an where you are the official.
But it's quite different.
Except for a few minor officials you can bring, the people in charge are all foreigners, so you have to be mentally prepared."
Shi Kefa wiped his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will do my best, love the people as my own children, and treat these foreigners as citizens of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel confused.
That's not what I meant.
Can you think about it for a moment?
Why do I want you to love the people like your own children?
He thought for a while and said: "Sima Xianggong once said that Yi Di are beasts, afraid of power but not moral.
Of course, now the Waci people on the other side of Xiaohai are people of the Ming Dynasty, we cannot say that they are beasts.
But I I think there is a big difference between the Yi and the Chinese.
It is their nature to fear power and not be virtuous, so it is not enough for you to just love the people like a son."
Shi Kefa said: "Since we are the people of the Ming Dynasty, we must treat the Waci people with the same standards as the people of the Ming Dynasty.
As long as we treat them with sincerity, they will also treat the Ming Dynasty with sincerity.
If the Yi Di enter China, they will conquer China, so they Now that they are Chinese and no longer Yi Di, they will also be respectful and respectful."
Zhu Youxiao now doubts whether it was a wise decision for him to send Shi Kefa to Xiaohai.
This guy memorizes the scriptures very well and knows how to apply them, but the actual situation may not be as he wishes.
But he had no way to change his mind temporarily.
He could only think about it in his heart and let Shi Kefa try it first.
If it didn't work, he would quickly transfer him back to the mainland.
So after encouraging Shi Kefa for a few words, he waved his hand and said: "You go and prepare first.
Don't take your family with you when you go now.
Let's wait until you get used to it there."

After saying goodbye, Shi Kefa left the palace gate and asked Zuo Guangdou: "Teacher, what do you think of the student's performance?"
Zuo Guangdou's eyes flashed, he looked at no one on the left and right, and said softly: "Go back to your place first, I want to have a good talk with you."
Returning to Shi Kefa's temporary residence, Zuo Guangdou said angrily: "Do you not understand what His Majesty means, or do you want to go against His Majesty?"
Shi Kefa saluted and said: "What your Majesty said is inconsistent with the principles of the saints.
Students dare not agree with it casually because of this."
Zuo Guangdou shouted angrily: "I don't know what your Majesty likes about you, whether it's your stupidity or your stupidity.
They have taken away the friendship between the queen and fellow countrymen and regarded you as the uncle of the country, although this is not the same thing.
It's something worth showing off, but don't you feel that His Majesty values you?
I know that you are good at reading books and remember the words of saints well, but you are a Waci person.
The Waci people who once captured Tumubao and kidnapped the Ming Emperor were not ordinary foreigners.
If we were not now much stronger in force than them, do you think the Mongols and Waci people would be so quiet and would obediently let us occupy their hearts?
Land?
If you want to treat the Wazi people like animals like your own children, I'm afraid you won't know how you died."
Shi Kefa gave another salute and said: "Teacher once taught me that how you treat others will be how others treat you, because people share the same heart and the same principles.
Why can't this be done to the people of Waci now?
Waci Humans are human beings, and we are still citizens of the Ming Dynasty.”
Zuo Guangdou scolded: "I won't argue with you.
You should understand why His Majesty called us masters and apprentices to go together.
You are not my subordinate.
Our Ministry of Water Resources has no plan to develop Xiaohai yet.
Your Majesty wants to If you want me to give you some tips, throw them away first.
Let go of your unrealistic fantasies.
After going to Haixi Mansion, first visit Zhang Zongling, establish a good cooperative relationship with the Far North Military Region, and understand the basic situation of the local area.
I believe Zhang Zongling will tell you whether those Waci people are human beings.
Still not a human being.”
"Keep in touch with the Far North Military Region at all times.
If there is any disagreement, immediately contact the army to dispatch.
You must remember that in Haixi Prefecture, only the Ming army of the Far North Military Region can rely on you.
I know Zhang Zongling.
He is very good.
He is both civilized and military, so he has no prejudice against scholars.
As long as you don't act like a scholar in front of him, you will get along very well."
"The barbarians are afraid of power but not virtuous.
This is what Jun Shigong said.
It is a wise saying.
You don't have to doubt it.
Even if you want to love the people like your sons, it will only happen after you kill some barbarians who hinder you from loving the people like your sons.
Remember.
If you live a little longer, if you are not of my race, your mind will be different.”
Shi Kefa was dissatisfied, but he also knew that the teacher was very angry, so it was better not to argue with him at this time.
As for what you want to do when you get there, the teacher is far away and you can't just run over and teach you a lesson.
So he lowered his head and said: "Students understand
