Under the fanatical religious beliefs, the assimilation ability that the Han people have always been proud of has no room for use at all, and not only has it not been assimilated and returned, but has been assimilated by it. This matter has attracted the attention of people of insight in the imperial court, and Xu Guangqi once communicated with Zhu Youxiao about this matter.

In Xu Guangqi's view, religion has its positive role, whether it is in building the ethics and morality of the people, or in persuading people to do good, it has its irreplaceable role. The religious policy of the Ming Dynasty is very relaxed, although Taoism is designated as the state religion, but the imperial court does not have any restrictions on people's religious beliefs, you want to believe in Buddhism, or Catholicism, there is no problem, like Xu Guangqi is a Catholic, and no one thinks that Shoufu will be like if he believes in Catholicism.

But both Zhu Youxiao and Xu Guangqi feel that religious freedom is very important. Freedom of religion means that you have the freedom to believe in a certain religion, but more importantly, you also have the freedom not to believe in a religion. Like monks and Taoists can return to the vulgar, although this kind of behavior may be criticized by some people, but at least whether it is a Taoist Buddhist temple or the government, it will not prevent you from returning to the vulgar, and some vulgar behaviors will be appreciated by many people.

The Huihui are different in that they cannot convert to another religion or become unreligious, and their attitude is evident in the fact that they call the apostasy of those who had originally believed in religion become unreliant. This makes Zhu Youxiao very dissatisfied, there are some things that you think are very good, such as you like to eat beef, you preach to the world, I hope everyone likes to eat beef, then there is no problem. But because you think the beef is delicious, and others don't eat beef and prefer pork, you think it's not okay, everyone should eat beef, or even force everyone to eat beef together, which is a bit too much.

Therefore, the imperial court formulated the "Measures for the Management of Religious Facilities", which was the first step to put all religious facilities under the management of the Ming government, and then there was the "Measures for the Management of Religion", which stipulated that all people had the freedom to believe in religion and not to believe in religion, and the government and other people were not allowed to interfere with their belief in religion or not in religion.

In fact, there is no need to emphasize this for Taoism and Buddhism, because it has always been like this. But for Catholics and Hui, there are some problems. Therefore, the last time Zhu Youxiao and Jinnige discussed the issue of missionary work in the Ming Dynasty, they deliberately emphasized that they did not want to hear Catholics call other non-believers pagans, and that the Ming religion must not be above the imperial power, and that for the Ming people, there should be full freedom to believe in religion and abandon religion. He didn't want a crusade or anything like that in Daming.

Of course, Jinnige readily agreed to this condition, in short, God's to God, and the emperor's to the emperor, and the two are responsible for different fields. But for the Huihui, this is a little difficult, Zhu Youxiao thought of those **** countries in later generations, and made up his mind that no matter what, he couldn't let Daming become like that.

Therefore, the imperial court revised the law of the Ming Dynasty and removed the article that people with colored eyes were not allowed to marry each other, and basically no one obeyed this law in the border areas anyway. This can at least reduce the situation of Han people being colorized, and will not allow more and more returns.

After Huang Ruliang came, Zhang Xinchen handed over the civil affairs and concentrated on military training and reconnaissance. Ganzhou is surrounded by Wasang, Mongols, Hui and Tibetans, and the territorial disputes are mixed with complex religious disputes, so you must be cautious.

Now the Ming Dynasty's focus on Ganzhou is not on military conquest, so Zhang Xinchen only needs to understand the distribution of various local forces first, and then prevent other forces from capturing Ganzhou.

The imperial court put more energy on the construction of roads, and the road from Xi'an to Lanzhou has been very good after the efforts of the imperial court and many Su kings, and the imperial court only needs to widen the road and then put cement on it. However, the road from Lanzhou to Ganzhou was a big project, although more than 50,000 captives were busy building the road every day, but after all, the project was too big, and the emperor demanded that the road should be repaired at the same time as the foundation of the railway should be laid, which further increased the difficulty of construction. Zhang Xinchen estimated that the highway could be repaired in about a year, but the railway could only be repaired in about five years.

In this process, Su Wang Zhu Zhihong played a great role. This prince, who is about the same age as the emperor, ascended the throne in the first year of the Apocalypse, and he usually loves the people like a son, and his prestige in Lanzhou is high. He never took the initiative to interfere in local military and political affairs, but the local government and the officers of the guard station respected him very much. Zhu Youxiao asked Xu Guangqi to write a letter to him, explaining the importance of road construction for Lanzhou and the whole of Shaanxi.

Zhu Zhihong was very moved by the fact that the emperor did not give an order but asked Shoufu to write a letter to him, and after he received the letter, he used his prestige to mobilize a large number of migrant workers in Lanzhou to meet the imperial court's demand for labor. And he asked the palace steward to take the lead in contracting a mountain in Yongdeng County, building a cement factory and a lime factory. A large sand and gravel factory was also built along the river. The doubts of various businesses in Lanzhou about opening cement factories and lime factories have been dispelled, and the supply pressure of cement, lime and sediment in the process of road construction has been greatly reduced.

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with his performance, rewarded him with ten bicycles, two boxes of soap, two boxes of glass mirrors, and named the higher school in Lanzhou Suwang School in recognition of his contributions.

In the newspaper, a special article was published to introduce King Su, starting from the first generation of King Su Zhu Hao led Ganzhou to guard the relocation of Lan County (Lanzhou), with three points of soldiers to defend the city, seven points of soldiers to Tuntian, plus the southeastern provinces of immigrants continue to move Lan Tun reclamation, build water conservancy, promote economic development, population growth, and then to the contemporary Su King for the transportation of the imperial court, personally convened migrant workers, opened cement factories and sediment factories, so that Lanzhou's highway construction can be carried out smoothly. He highly praised the loyalty of the Su kings to the court and their love for the people like sons, and called them the example of the vassal kings in various places.

This report sounded a wake-up call to the other vassal kings, what the emperor needed was an obedient vassal king, a vassal king who could help the imperial court, and serve the imperial court like King Su, rather than holding on to his own fiefdom as a prestige, which was what the emperor wanted to see.

This was soon reflected in the influence of the other vassal kings, led by King Fu, and the other vassal kings gathered some unemployed vagrants in their own territories and sent them to Ganzhou in order to enrich the local infrastructure team, and the construction of the Angan Highway was fully guaranteed.
