Suleira's arrangements for Lu Xuan are now being implemented to the letter. When it comes to the scheming city, Surela is completely incomparable. Every step is calculated by the emperor, and every time things end, he becomes a loyal lackey of the Ming Dynasty.
Simply, become a lackey.
The days are more relaxed.
After Surela returned to Zoroastrianism, he arranged for the collection of Zoroastrian books and informed the Zoroastrian clergy that the books must be collected and burned. As long as things are done well, the Zoroastrian Church will reward them according to the number of books burned.
Simply arranging tasks, no one will do their best. With rewards and motivation, everything is different.
That's the difference.
This is also the confidence that Surela can drive Zoroastrian clergy.
Surela's large-scale operation was due to the influence of Zoroastrianism and the deterrent power of the Ming army. In addition, the main nobles of the Parthian Kingdom had been killed, and the nobles of other cities did not dare to resist. Everything progressed very slowly. It was smooth.
A large number of Parthian books were burned. Because there were rewards within Zoroastrianism, the clergy performed their duties and no one could hide it from these Zoroastrian people. The whole thing progressed very smoothly.
While the Zoroastrian book burning was in full swing, a group of people came on the official road leading to Ctesiphon.
In one of the carriages, there was an elegant man sitting.
It was Xun Yu.
After receiving the notice from Lu Xuan in Huashi City, he handed over everything to Lu Su. Fortunately, after Lu Su arrived at Huashi City, Xun Yu consciously left the matter to Lu Su, so Xun Yu left without wasting any time.
Xun Yu came to Ctesiphon in the shortest time. When he first entered Parthia, many people in the area were dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty and talked about the killings of the Ming Dynasty. But as I approached Ctesiphon, I found that many people there were learning the Mandarin of the Ming Dynasty.
The people who implemented it were obviously the Zoroastrian religion of Parthia.
Moreover, they continue to burn Parthian books and completely destroy the Parthian inheritance.
Xun Yu was amazed by the occurrence of these things.
As long as the inheritance of writing is determined and Ming's writing takes root in Parthia, in the future everyone in Parthia will learn Ming's writing and Ming's classics, and they will be completely assimilated and become a part of Ming Dynasty.
This is something that needs to be implemented for a long time.
Although it is difficult, it must be done.
After Xun Yu arrived at Ctesiphon, he stopped and watched for a while outside the city. He found that Ctesiphon, as the imperial capital of Parthia, was not prosperous enough. Although there are many people coming and going, it is actually not as good as Fahrenheit City.
Today's Fahrenheit City is already very prosperous.
There are many businessmen coming and going.
Tianzhu's own spices, ivory, as well as some local specialties, special fruits from the south, etc., are continuously transported north to Xizhou. At the same time, many commodities from the Ming Dynasty and the Western Regions, such as cloth, tea, etc., were also constantly transported for sale.
Everything is getting better.
After Xun Yu observed it, he further discovered that many of the people coming and going looked a little flustered, as if they were a little afraid. He kept what he saw and heard in mind, thinking about Ctesiphon's problem, and ordered to enter the city.
After Xun Yu entered the city, he went straight to the outside of the palace and arranged for people to go forward and report.
The news reached Lu Xuan's ears, and Lu Xuan immediately received him. He looked at Xun Yu who entered the hall. After Xun Yu saluted, he smiled and said: "Xun Qing, you are finally here. Now that you are on the front line, I It’s easy to arrange. When it comes to governing the place, we still need people with such ability as you. If it were other people, they would be powerless after all. They can’t manage a big country like you cook small dishes.”
Xun Yu looked humble and said: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise."
Lu Xuandao: "Sit down and talk."
"Here!"
Xun Yu sat down respectfully.
Lu Xuan asked: "Xunqing has been walking all the way from Xiangzhou. What do you think about what he saw and heard along the way?"
Xun Yu's expression became serious and he said: "Your Majesty, after I entered the Parthian Kingdom, my overall opinion is good, and all the places have submitted. However, my current submission is Wugenzhiping."
"The reason is very simple. The officials in the local cities are all Parthia officials who changed their banners, and are not our own people. This is destined to mean that once the Ming army has something, these people will immediately adjust their direction again. This is a must It needs to be solved.”
Xun Yu quickly said: "If we don't completely deal with the Anxi nobles and completely replace the local nobles with our people, we can't solve the problem from the root."
Lu Xuan said: "I also know your considerations. However, there are not so many people at present, and there are no scholars to govern the local areas. The imperial court continues to expand, from the Western Regions to Tianzhu, and currently the two regions consume a large number of scholars . The scholars in the country are currently unable to keep up and cannot fully replenish it."
"In addition, the nobles of Anxi are also dealing with it."
"I have no control over the further places. I am currently only targeting the nobles of Ctesiphon and Seleucia. All the nobles were confiscated and their families were exterminated. Countless amounts of grain, grass, money, etc. were found, which ensured our stability. "
Lu Xuan said: "These people killed them all, so now there are no Parthian nobles in Taixi."
Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Lu Xuan waved his hand and ordered: "I didn't ask you to come here to flatter me, I asked you to ask questions and solve them."
Xun Yu further said: "Your Majesty is right to control Ctesiphon and Seleucia first. But the current method, which is all through killing, is still inappropriate. Because the people of Parthia are a little afraid of the Ming Dynasty. Want to In governance, we still need to be gentle and have equal access to rain and dew, so that they can feel the benefits of His Majesty."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "This is also the purpose of bringing you to Ctesi Feng. I have been busy these days, mainly solving the Zoroastrian problem and executing all the nobles of the Parthian Kingdom in Ctesi Feng."
Speaking of this, Lu Xuan emphasized Suleila.
Next, Lu Xuan will start to delegate power and hand things over to Xun Yu to take charge of Anxi, so he needs to explain the matter of Surela clearly.
After hearing this, Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will take good care of Surela so that he will not dare to assassinate him. At present, Anxi is in charge. Considering the special nature of the matter and the lack of enough scholars in the country, I will temporarily add If you are not a good scholar, I have a suggestion."
Lu Xuan asked: "What suggestions?"
A flash of light flashed across Xun Yu's eyes, and he said: "I would like to ask your Majesty to adjust the army and transfer some capable soldiers from the army, so that these soldiers can serve in the local areas and be responsible for governing the local areas."
Lu Xuan's eyes lit up after hearing this.
He didn't expect this.
In traditional thinking, the army is used for fighting, and there will be wars next, so Lu Xuan did not adjust like this. In addition, the people in the army are a military system after all. Unlike the scholars, Lu Xuan has no arrangements.
I have to say, this is also a good suggestion.
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Xun Qing's proposal is indeed an excellent suggestion. You can give it a try."
