On this side of the Strait of Hormuci, the new capital city originally built by Persia, the unfinished Lingbao has been demolished. The body that was buried in the land was buried separately, and it was a huge grave. Needless to say, this tomb is a powerful proof of the brutality of the Safavids.

The original Persian captives, under the watchful eye of the Ming army, were in charge of the heaviest work in the new port city. In addition, many people are also participating in the construction, but these people are working for relief, and the work they receive is not very heavy.

Later, the Ming army, which was attacking the southern shore of the Persian Gulf, successively brought in Ottoman prisoners to enrich the construction manpower.

In this way, the construction of the new port city is very fast. The port part was completed first and can dock many ships at once. Just by looking at this scale, you know that this place will inevitably become a very prosperous place in the future.

On this day, among the former poor Persians who were doing the finishing work in the port, and now among the people of the Ming Dynasty, someone suddenly cheered and said: "Look, there are many more ships!" ”

When his companion heard this, he didn't raise his head, but just said with a smile: "Now that our Ming Dynasty is invincible, the prisoners are not transported by boat, what is there to make a fuss about?" ”

"No, no, you see, it's from the East, and there are so many ships!"

Hearing this, those people who had originally lowered their heads looked up one after another.

Sure enough, on the eastern sea, there were all ships flying the Ming flag. Among them, there are not many sail warships, most of them are the kind of lucky ships unique to the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing this situation clearly, these people couldn't help but stand up, waved their hands, and welcomed their friends from the East with their enthusiasm.

A very simple truth, they all understand. Only the more people who come to Daming, the more stable their life here will be. Otherwise, if the enemy attacks on a large scale and has too many troops, the number of Ming troops is too small, and it will not be practical after all.

While waving their hands, they were also curious, who was the person who came from so many ships this time?

This fleet did not come from the Ming Dynasty, but the transport fleet that originally participated in the war, with nearly 2,000 ships. After the battle, they returned to the ship and returned to the Donggo shipyard for maintenance.

Later, grain was transported from Dongwu, but the bigger task was to receive the fleet from the southeast coast of Daming, and it was handed over from Dongwu.

This handover, of course, is not to carry the materials on the ship, but to hand over the ship. The control of Zhang Huangyan, the governor of Dongwu, is to balance the number of ships on both sides, whether it is one against one or one against two or more.

On this ship, there were Ming officials who went to Persia to take up the post of magistrate.

This is different from going to the vassal country to be an official, the officials are to be evaluated and selected. There are rules that after serving as an official in an overseas province for many years, the promotion will be faster. It's not that as long as you show talent or something, as long as you have read books, it will be.

The tallest of them all now stood on the bow deck of the flagship, tall and looking out over the construction site in full swing on the shore.

"Lord Lu, we're here." The captain next to him pointed over there and said, "Your Excellency has come ashore here, and you are going to go to Zhennan City by land." After the last general supplies here, he will go inside and send supplies and troops to Lord Yan. ”

This Lord Lu is naturally Lu Xiangsheng. He asked Emperor Chongzhen for war many times, and finally got permission, and the veteran will continue to go out and contribute to the expansion of the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, he was not tired of being a boat for a long time. There was even a hint of excitement on his face: "I never thought that one day, this official would be able to set foot in the place where the Three Treasure Eunuchs had been!" ”

The Three Treasures Eunuch, that is, Zheng He, in the Yongle period at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, went to the West seven times, and he came here many times.

If in the early years, who would have thought that the Ming Dynasty would one day regain the glory of the Yongle period. In other words, it went a step further and directly opened up the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Traveling thousands of miles, stepping on the land of Daming!

When the captain heard this, he laughed and said, "As long as Your Majesty swings his sword and points westward, no matter how far it goes, it will be our Ming!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng listened, turned his head to look at him, smiled slightly, but didn't speak.

It is easy to defeat the enemy, but it is difficult to govern the place. No matter what, it is not good to turn all places into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Enemies, there are still to be them.

I thought so, but I didn't say it.

By the time the fleet docked, the commander in charge here had already led people to the dock.

In the previous time, he had received the will of Emperor Chongzhen and knew who would come this time, so he made a lot of preparations.

Sure enough, most of the would-be magistrates of the Persian territory who disembarked at this pier were seasick and needed to rest for several days before they could recover.

Those who often ride boats or horses will be much more adaptable to long voyages. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng has nothing to do at all. While waiting for the others to rest, he inspected the area, and also went to the big tomb to take a look, and gave a stick of incense.

His move moved all the people and soldiers who were originally from Persia. In particular, when they knew that this official from the Ming Dynasty would be the highest official of the Ming Dynasty in Persia in the future, they felt especially lucky and relieved.

Emperor Daming will definitely not be here all the time, and in the end, the high-ranking officials of Daming who are in charge of this place are the real key to determining their happy days. Now they can see that this official should not be wrong.

Of course, not all Persians can rest assured. Those who are more worried will not believe it easily, and there will always be a group of such people.

But no matter what, just like this, Lu Xiangsheng gained the hearts of most of the Persians.

But that's not all. He often went to the barracks, or the civilian barracks where the new city was built, to learn about their situation, and to take out his old habit of eating the same food as them, and ate them in the camp.

His move really shocked the eyes of the Persians.

When did they ever see such a big official? Seriously, not only have they not seen it, they have not even heard of it, not even in legends.

After Lu Xiangsheng left, the entire camp could be blown up. Even people who are very hungry after a day of work can't care about eating, and they gossip about this high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty.

"I heard that Lord Lu, who came to be the governor of our Persia, really had to eat in the camp?"

"Needless to say, I saw it with my own eyes, and there will be no mistake!"

"Doesn't he think this thing we eat is unpalatable? Such a big official, he usually eats delicacies from the mountains and seas, right? ”

"Don't say it, I stared at it carefully, and it was more natural than we ate!"

"Also, let me tell you, Governor Lu also talked to me, asked me about the situation at home, really, I dare to swear, I really have to talk to me!"

"Really? What a stroke of luck! Is Governor Lu good talking? ”

"Needless to say, absolutely!"

“……”

After the news spread, especially some people heard from people from the Ming Dynasty that Lu Xiangsheng had always been in such a style, basically everyone was full of hope for Lu Xiangsheng, and they were glad that the Ming Emperor had sent such a good official to take care of them.

Five days later, Lu Xiangsheng set off for Zhennan City.

In fact, he couldn't wait for a day and hurried to see the emperor, who hadn't seen the emperor for several years.

However, the other colleagues could not do it, and it took five days before they were finally able to set off.

Needless to say, Lu Xiangsheng is of course on horseback. Not only that, but other local officials, who can ride horses, also ask to ride horses, and only those who really can't ride horses and have not yet recovered their bodies will take carriages.

On this day, everyone stopped what they were doing and sent Lu Xiangsheng away. There are no orders, it's all spontaneous.

More than a thousand miles of road, hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at Zhennan City. However, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen had already led the army to the expedition, and the will left behind was to let Lu Xiangsheng immediately take up his new post and manage the Persian Province.

While Lu Xiangsheng regretted not meeting Emperor Chongzhen, he also knew the importance of governing Persia well. The road behind is restless, and it is difficult for the army to travel. Only when Persia is stable can the emperor fight at ease on the front line.

So, he worked almost day and night, first read the Persian materials left to him by Emperor Chongzhen, and talked with many people who were familiar with the place. Then his decree was issued.

The first, of course, was to assign the officials he had brought with him to the state capital as he thought was reasonable.

Second, in the province of Persia, there is also a provision for three years of free education for children. Of course, this reading must be reading the Four Books and the Five Classics.

Thirdly, the will left to him by the emperor was announced, and in the province of Persia, imperial examinations would also be held. Among them, the courtyard examination and the township examination were held in Persian Province, and the township examination and the palace examination needless to say, they had to go to the Daming Jingshi.

In the past, Emperor Chongzhen came with troops, and these things could not be realized. But now that Lu Xiangsheng is here with a civil official, he can announce it.

When these decrees were announced, the whole of Persia was in a stir.

In ancient times, except for the Ming Dynasty in the East, which used the imperial examination system to select officials, there was almost no such way in other countries. The distinction between classes is clear.

No matter what later generations think of the imperial examination system, it really gave the people at the bottom a chance to get ahead. Now such an opportunity has spread to Persia, which is the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, and the shock to the Persians is beyond doubt.

If it is said that some Persians felt that it was too difficult to learn the Ming culture and the Four Books and Five Classics and wanted to give up, then after Lu Xiangsheng's decrees were issued, thirty-year-old people were cheeky to go to the school and say that he was only eight years old, but he was old and wanted to study, do you dare to believe it? But there really has to be such a thing!
