The reason why Zhenwu specifically asked about the number of Hui people was because there had been several Hui people riots in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, and there were even more tragic Hui people's disasters. Tongzhi Hui people's rebellion was heard that there were more than 2 million Hui people in Shaanxi Province alone. He couldn't help but frowned slightly. Hui people are widely distributed in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu and Ningxia. In this way, should the population of Hui people in the country be around tens of millions?

The governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, E Haijiu, was in Shaanxi and was always quite concerned about the Hui people. This is because the Hui people always like to practice martial arts and are extremely united, and they often respond to it. In the fifth year of Shunzhi, there were small-scale riots in the Hui people. The Hui people in Shaanxi were relatively the most concentrated, with a large population. As the governor, he was extremely vigilant and preventive, so his understanding of the Hui people was quite detailed.

Seeing Zhenwu mentioning the topic of Hui people, he took the opportunity to say: "Emperor, the northwest is the place where Hui people gather, and Shaanxi is the most concentrated. In recent years, the world has been peaceful and Hui people have reproduced very quickly. At the beginning of the country, Shaanxi has only been more than 800,000, which has increased by more than three times in the past seventy years. The slaves think that they should be properly controlled."

Control? How to control it? I have developed a fusion of all the Manchu, Han, Mongolian and Hui tribes. I can’t turn around and put a lot of restrictions on the Hui tribes. Zhenwu pondered for a moment and said, “What is the relationship between the Hui people in Shaanxi and the Han people?”

"It's quite harmonious to return to the emperor." E Hai bowed and said, "It's not uncommon for the situation of returning to the Han Dynasty to be mixed. There are also intermarriages between the Han Dynasty. Because of the marriage between the two parties, there are both those who come out of the tutors and those who come into the tutors. Generally speaking, most of those who come out of the tutors are Hui women, while those who come into the tutors have both men and women, and there are more cases of those who come into the tutors."

Nodded slightly, Zhenwu Cai said: "You have served as the Shaanxi Censor, the Governor of the Administration, and the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. You have been in Shaanxi for quite some time. What do you think of the Hui people?"

After pondering slightly, E Hai bowed and said, "Hui Emperor, Hui people are obsessed with religious beliefs and taboos and customs are very different from those of the Han people. Although they get along well with the Han people, they are also very xenophobic. What slaves are worried about is that Hui people are tough and easy to join forces, and they are widely connected between places. In addition, Hui Hui is a family, and Hui Hui meets three parts of relatives, and is responsible for giving away food, and does not hold grain for thousands of miles.

Nowadays, the popularity of the Hui people has expanded rapidly, which is neither a blessing from the local government nor a blessing from the court. Slaves think that they must be strictly controlled. One is to limit their population growth too fast, the other is to limit the flow of regions. And the other is to strengthen local defense personnel."

It is indeed necessary to limit the rapid expansion of Hui people, but how to limit population growth? Family planning? Zhenwu couldn't help laughing. This method obviously doesn't work. Like Mongolia, promoting Lamaism is impossible, and there are only plagues and wars. These two are the fastest ways to consume the population.

The plague is not good, it hurts the heavens too much, and forming a Hui militia regiment to fight is good. However, this is also a double-edged sword. If one is not good, it will hurt himself. This is tens of millions of Hui people. Zhenwu couldn't help but frown slightly.

After a while of silence, he spoke: "Nanyang, Australia, and America now require a large number of immigrants. The population is insufficient. How can we limit the population growth of Hui people? Regardless of Manchu, Han, Mongolian, and Tibet, I treat everyone equally and do not distinguish between each other."

After hearing this, E Hai was disappointed. Kangxi was already lenient with the Hui people. Unexpectedly, Zhenwu was like this again. With the current development momentum of Hui people, in a few decades, there will be a big chaos. These Hui people are different from the Han people. They are not a mess. Once the trouble is caused, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhenwu glanced at him, and changed his tone and said, "However, Hui people are all religious people. We must prevent the situation of the dispute between the power of the church and the court. How to prevent it? We can start from four aspects. One is to promote ethnic integration, which is in line with the national policy of integrating all ethnic groups in the court. The Han people have the strongest assimilation power. Over the past thousands of years, we have assimilated countless ethnic groups. Can we only assimilate the Hui people? We must deliberately arrange the miscellaneous parts of the Han Dynasty, and vigorously promote the promotion of Sinology and create conditions for assimilation.

Second, to promote Hui officials to serve in other places and win over the Hui gentry class, not only to achieve the effect of division, but also to control Hui. Third, to establish a contract for the Hui people’s settlements, implement a village contract system, and to obtain the effect of restraint, and to implement a clan system. While they believe in religion, they also need to commend the country’s kindness, to express their ancestors’ virtues, respect the clan, and train their descendants.

Fourthly, strictly monitor the Hui people's sects to prevent the emergence of religious leaders, and strictly prevent the emergence of so-called new doctrines, Protestantism, etc. Once discovered, it is necessary to uproot the roots. At the same time, cut off the contact between the Hui people and the overseas, do not allow pilgrimage to go abroad, nor do people from abroad to preach. In order to prevent strong opposition from the Hui people, this point must be implemented flexibly and allowed to use the Eight Banners in the garrison. However, if the situation is not secret and causes trouble, I will never give up."

E Hai was secretly impressed. Although Zhenwu's points were peaceful, if they were implemented effectively, the Hui people would definitely have a weak momentum in decades. I don't know why he had to be so strict about the Protestantism and overseas pilgrimage. He actually allowed the Eight Banners to chase and silence the garrison. He didn't dare to think too much at the moment, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Slave obeys the order."

Xi Zhu, general Xi Zhu, was also very happy when he heard this. With the imperial edict of Zhenwu, the Eight Banners of Xi'an were robbed by the order. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Slave received the order."

Chuo Qi also bowed and said, "The emperor is very insightful, and it really makes the slaves admire him. He must respect his will and implement it one by one."

Zhenwu nodded and said, "Supervision and education of Hui people will be listed as the scope of Shaanxi officials' major assessment plan, and it will be the primary assessment subject."

No one expected that Zhenwu would attach so much importance to the Hui people, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Slaves and others follow the order."

Zhenwu nodded, glanced at the four of them, and said, "I am tired, so I'll kneel down and rest."

However, the Shaanxi Governor Chuoqi returned from Mancheng to the Governor's Office on the north side of the Gulou Tower in Xi'an. After entering the Internal Affairs Office, he sat down to have a tea. The gatekeeper hurried to the door to report: "Sir, the governor, Samuha, the Censor Yongtai, the supervisor of grain storage Wang Yonglin, the governor of Xi'an Zu Yi, and the governor of Shangzhou Fan Shimu and other adults were paying homage to each other."

These people are all confidants. Chuo Qi naturally understood why everyone came and said, "Ask." As he said that, he put down the teacup, got up to greet him. It was fine for several officials from the government office, but the governor and the censor should still welcome him. Of course, he would not come far away to greet him. After leaving the gate of the internal office, he set his ground on the steps.

Samuha, Yongtai and others came from Mancheng. They were all eager to know Zhenwu's attitude. The few of them came quickly and exchanged greetings, and then went into the office to sit in order. After a seat, Wang Yonglin, the supervisor of the grain storage department, asked anxiously: "Sir, will Shaanxi immediately check the deficit?"

Chuoqi glanced at him and said, "The emperor did not explicitly say whether to clear the deficit, but he just asked about the deficit." As he said, he paused slightly, looked at the Xi'an prefecture Zu Yi and Shangzhou prefecture Fan Shimu and said, "The emperor heard that Fengxiang Prefecture has prefectures and counties collecting fire consumption to three cents? It has been issued an order, and the officials of the prefectures will be investigated on the spot, dismissed on the capital, and confiscated the yamen and their original property together. Is this the case in your prefectures and counties?"

Zu Yi felt quite relaxed and bowed and said, "Sir, the fire consumption in Xi'an Prefecture only received one qian and five to two qian, and there were no three qian prefectures and counties."

Fan Shimu's face was pale and his back was cold. Seeing his situation, Chuoqi's face also darkened and said, "Is there any fire consumption in Shangzhou that is used to collect three coins?"

"Sir," Fan Shimu said noddedly: "The four counties of Shangzhou are all worth one qian and five qian, but there are additional levies, which are more than three qian. Sir, Shangzhou is located in a key area, and has frequent officials and very expensive expenses. If you don't have levies, you can't handle it."

Chuoqi pondered for a moment before saying, "The emperor must have to pass by Shangzhou when he returns. You will hurry back to the aftermath tomorrow morning. Both the post station servants and the business travelers should pay attention."

"Thank you for advice, Lord." Fan Shimu hurriedly bowed.

Chuo Qi glanced at a few people and said in a deep voice: "The fire consumption of one qian and five yuan is too high. The emperor also ordered that only one qian be charged for fire consumption in Shaanxi Province. In addition, the emperor also specifically reminded that the people should not be exploited to fill the deficit, otherwise it would be a search of homes and exiled. Now all prefectures, prefectures and counties in Shaanxi have supervisors who supervise disaster relief matters. I hope you can do it yourself."

When he heard this, Wang Yonglin, the supervisor of the grain storage, couldn't help but complain: "A single ounce of fire consumption will be greatly reduced. How can this deficit be filled?"

"How to fill it? Of course, it is to give up money and avoid disasters. Can the arm bend over the thigh? It is just to keep the official position first." Yongtai, the censor, said without rushing: "The supervisor cannot always stay in the local area for supervision. This is not in line with the system. When the supervisor returns to Beijing, everything will be the same."

"It's probably not that simple." Chuoqi said in a deep voice: "Since the emperor has issued an order, he will definitely send another supervisory officer to inspect. You should just fill in the gaps honestly. The new king Yuji is better not to be lucky."

"Sir, this deficit has been lost in all previous responsibilities, and we will fill it. It's really unfair." Wang Yonglin muttered softly.

"You didn't calculate the account this way." Samuha glanced at him and said, "Can't you see it? This cleanup is a nationwide cleanup. You have been an official for many years. Now someone is filling the deficit for you."

After being robbed, Wang Yonglin said a little embarrassedly: "Master Fantai, the official is not trying to complain, but he is now short of money and cannot make up for the money to fill the deficit. After such a fuss in Shanxi, local gentry and wealthy businessmen will not borrow money to us at all."

The governor Samuha smiled slightly and said, "Is it possible for personal purposes? Isn't there any 'Four Great Everlasting'?"

"Four Great Evergreens"? Even Chuoqi was stunned when he heard this. Although the "Four Great Evergreens" have interest-free loans and low-interest loans, the system is quite strict and cannot be borrowed at all. Interest-free loans are even more targeted for disaster relief. The risk is too great, so there is no need to think about it. The system of low-interest loans is also strict, and the amount of loans each person can borrow is very small, which is simply a drop in the bucket and is not enough to even get stuck in the teeth. How can we find the "Four Great Evergreens" to borrow money to fill the gap?
