Luoyang, the thousand-year-old capital is located, although it has been war-torn and tormented, but it still has not changed his status, as early as the Song Dynasty, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin once thought about moving the capital to Luoyang, only because of the opposition of the ministers, and finally died without a problem, and then came to the Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang set the world, he had considered the capital Luoyang, and then because of the early death of the prince Zhu Biao and finally did not discuss again.

After Cao Bianjiao arrived in Luoyang, Shaanxi's Mi Layin and Ding Guodong also came together, this time he made great contributions in the Shaanxi anti-Qing battle, and later took the initiative to attach to the Ming Dynasty, Ding Guodong was finally named Guiyi Hou, Mi Layin was named Shun'an Hou, and was allowed to continue to guard the important town of Ningxia, this time Cao Bianjiao took the initiative to summon the two of them to come.

"The last general, Ding Guodong (Mi Layin), see the general's ......"

"Two, please! Please! Cao Bianjiao stepped forward with a smile on his face to help the two and invited them to sit down to watch the tea.

"I have long heard that the general is heroic, and I have admired the two of them for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to meet. Ding Guodong also flattered and praised a few words at the moment.

Cao Bianjiao had already heard too much, so he didn't care much, and said with a smile: "It's too famous, I'm just a vulgar martial artist, in fact, I and the two are also old acquaintances, you may not remember clearly, when I followed my uncle Cao Wenzhao in Shaanxi to fight with those rogues, you were also in the army, but I was a guerrilla general in the army, so I was not outstanding, so you didn't pay attention to me, but I do remember the two of you, both are old acquaintances, this time I asked you to come here, It's to discuss the major affairs of the Hui people, I'm not a person who likes to turn around crookedly, but if it's unfamiliar, or can't look down on it, I don't mind being false and wronged with him, but I am also old friends with the two, and when I talk to friends, why do I have any tricks? If you have that spirit, it is better to drink two cups of pleasure. ”

"What the general said is very true, we are all rough people, I really don't like that, since the general has already made it clear, I don't know what the court means, and I hope the general will make it clear!" Mi Layin also asked bluntly at the moment.

Cao Bianjiao nodded and continued: "One word, four words: national autonomy!" The imperial court will separate Ningxia from Shaanxi Province, as an autonomous region, governed by the Hui people themselves, the autonomous region is equivalent to the state capital level, I know that the living habits of the Hui people and my Han people are different, so I came up with this policy, the establishment of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture in Ningxia, Zhizhou, Zhixian are elected by your Hui people, after playing the imperial court, even if it is officially appointed, every three years, elected by all the Hui people themselves, ten households and one team, ten teams in a group, seven to ten groups of one village, According to the Hui tax system promulgated by the imperial court, the annual tax is handed over to the imperial court, and the rest is reserved for the autonomous prefecture to build bridges and roads, and govern the people's livelihood. Jointly maintaining the security of Ningxia is, in short, a sentence, the Hui people govern ......"

"Is this true?" Ding Guodong and Mi Layin are a little incredible, which means that the imperial court gave them great power to govern the land of Ningxia by themselves, for them, this is the grace of the imperial court to them, and it is also Cao Bianjiao's great trust in them, believing that they will not rebel, so they dare to let them govern themselves so much.

"I'm going to lie and can't do it, it's naturally true, otherwise how can I say this to you, in fact, this is not a new case, my dynasty in Yunnan, Guizhou and other ethnic minority areas, are implementing this kind of policy, but the scale is smaller, after all, their population is not as large as the Hui people, I have always been all-inclusive, tolerant of the four seas, when in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how could it not be so, but they are white-eyed wolf cubs, full of food and love the Lord, Therefore, I will never tolerate them, but for the Hui people's righteous act of resisting the Qing Dynasty this time, we still fully trust you, and we hope that this friendship can continue forever, and the Hui and Han ethnic groups will intermarry, and they will be close to each other......"

"The last general is here for the 500,000 Hui people thank the general for his great kindness, my Hui people will never betray the Ming Dynasty forever, I am willing to swear here, if there is an oath for this, heaven and man are angry!" Mi Layin also fell to the ground at the moment, he knew very well how much freedom and tolerance Cao Bianjiao gave them, this is a great trust.

"Please get up, please get up! It's all old people, it doesn't have to be like this! The land of Ningxia, in the future, I will have to bother the two of you to worry a lot, the two of you are both Zhizhou, since then, this system has been maintained in the future, and the system of double Zhizhou has been implemented. In the land of Ningxia, in the past few hundred years, because of serious logging, soil erosion is very serious, rainfall is scarce, I hope you go back, plant more trees, plant more trees that resist wind and sand, and can also be mixed fruit trees, as well as Ningxia's wolfberry that is famous all over the world, you can also grow grapes and wine, plant some red dates, etc., I will send competent people to help you, as soon as possible to make the people of Ningxia live a prosperous life, at least to do food and clothing without worry! If you want to get rich, you have to rely on education, you have to establish schools, train Hui scholars, and lead the people of your own nationality to become rich......"

"Thank you, General, we are all vulgar people, and we have to rely on the support of the imperial court!" Both of them are grateful to Cao Bianjiao for their five-body throwing, Cao Bianjiao's concern for them can be described as meticulous, and even the road of future development has been thought about for them, so that they also have the confidence in their hearts, know what to do, how to do it.

"The court will support you, don't worry! Let's talk about it today, I've ordered someone to set up a banquet, and it's okay for us to chat while eating, you have worked hard from afar, just to catch the wind and wash the dust for you, go with me! ”

"Thank you, General, please!" At that moment, the two of them also followed Cao Bianjiao to the banquet in the side hall, and it was Yang Wenyue, the chief soldier of Luoyang, who accompanied them, and it also gave them a lot of face.

Cao Bianjiao set up a banquet in the mansion to wash the dust for Ding Guodong and Mi Layin. That night, the two of them stayed in the middle of the trip, and they were really tired from all the way, and they drank a lot of wine, so that they fell asleep when they returned to their rooms. Cao Bianjiao couldn't sleep, and after drinking a bowl of sobering soup, he came to the study, looked through the official documents, and before he knew it, the night was already deep.
