It was now February and the weather was getting warmer. At this time, the last state in all the regions north of Qu Nu City in Jiedi Nation announced its allegiance to Du Qi. This was a true allegiance to Du Qi. They did not hold any power and were under Du Qi's command.
Du Qi arranged for someone to take up the post.
From then on, all the regions north of Jiedi Nation completely belonged to Du Qi.
Xia had already taken over all the regions north of Qu Nu City. Most importantly, as Du Qi took over these regions, the people supported Du Qi even more. This was because under Du Qi's command, the people did not have to worry about their own safety. They did not have to worry about being oppressed by the higher castes. Everything became better. Moreover, the people were allocated land and had land to farm.
In the past, 99% of the land in Jiedi Nation was in the hands of the nobles. All the people in the upper caste system had countless lands. However, the ordinary people, like Baishe and Sudra, who occupied the majority of the population, did not have any land. They could only rent the land of the High Nobles and then pay them an expensive rent. It was already good enough that they could fill their stomachs.
However, now, the people could farm their own land. Although all the land belonged to the Imperial Court, the problem was that after the Imperial Court gave out the land, as long as the people were still alive, they would not take it back. They would allow the people to farm. To a certain extent, this was giving away land. Moreover, the entire nation was actually vast but sparsely populated. Hence, countless people were farming.
They all had their own land.
The people were very satisfied.
The people's hearts were stable. Hence, everyone submitted to Du Qi and trusted Du Qi more. Especially as time passed, Du Qi's industries, such as perfume, cloth, silk, bookstores, cement factories, banks, and other industries, had all entered Jiedi Nation and set up businesses everywhere.
As countless industries entered, countless fortifications were pushed forward and countless infrastructure projects were carried out. Let's not talk about the distant things. Just the construction of roads involved too many places. Besides farming, the people all had their own things to do.
As for the many restaurants, as well as the planting of many vegetables and tea leaves, these were also being pushed forward.
After all, compared to the countries in the Western Region, Tianzhu, especially the area near Qunv City, had a more suitable climate. Although it was hot when it was hot, it was not as dry as the Western Regions. These places had plenty of rain and sunlight, which was suitable for the cultivation of many kinds of crops. Especially after the restaurants came here, they began to lead the trend of food.
Every place had its own unique characteristics. When the chef of the restaurant arrived at the area within the borders of Jie Ri Nation, he had already made adjustments according to the food of that time. Countless delicacies were brought out, causing countless people to scramble like ducks. If this was the old Jieri Country, where the commoners had no money, it would be considered good if they could exchange one item for another.
After Du Qi's arrival, Xia Xia's many industries were promoted, and the people were able to earn money. Furthermore, the government bought grain in large quantities, allowing the commoners to earn money. Therefore, many commoners were willing to spend money now.
Everything was progressing at a rapid pace.
The entire northern side of Tianzhu quickly became prosperous.
The only thing that started to decline was the temples. In the past, countless people in Tianzhu believed in Buddhism, and countless people placed their hopes on Buddhism. But now, after the changes in the commoners, although many people still worshipped Buddha, the influence of Buddhism had become weaker and weaker. In particular, Buddhism had lost its privileges, so it was a great contrast to the prosperity of the past.
Du Qi did not care about the situation of Buddhism.
That was because this group of people did not work. They had lost their privileges. If they could continue to survive, they would survive on their own. Du Qi would not care. However, it was impossible for Du Qi to support him.
At the beginning of March, many teachers from the University of Science and Technology arrived first.
There were many people from the University of Science and Technology.
After all, when the University of Science and Technology was established in Yizhou, it covered thousands of acres. After a few years of development, the University of Science and Technology had many schools. There were a lot of talents and staff.
When Sun Simiao, Tang Zhongsheng, and the others arrived, Du Qi personally went to the city gate to welcome them.
That was because Du Qi valued everyone.
However, when Du Qi went to welcome them, all the people from the University of Science and Technology bowed when they saw Du Qi. These people bowed to Du Qi. That was true respect and admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
That was because Du Qi was their guide.
All of them were happy. They were glad that they could meet Du Qi.
Du Qi looked at Sun Simiao, who was old but hale and hearty. He did not look old at all. Sun Simiao was already in his early nineties, but he looked like he was in his sixties or seventies. Moreover, he was very energetic.
Du Qi smiled and said, "Elder Sun, it's been a long journey. How's your body?"
Sun Simiao was neither blind nor deaf. His body was very good. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my body is fine. Also, the manufacturing school in the University of Science and Technology has created a new carriage that can reduce the bumps. Although it's a long journey, it won't affect me much. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "That's good."
After pausing for a moment, Du Qi looked at Wang Ping and said, "Wang Ping, how is the production of the glass progressing? Are there any difficulties? "
Wang Ping said excitedly, "Your Majesty, everything is fine now. Especially with the books Your Majesty gave us, we've reduced a lot of detours. The glass we're researching now is completely different from the glass of the past. The glass now is real glass. Not only is it more resistant to earthquakes, but it's also less likely to shatter. "
Du Qi said, "That's right. Researchers should have the spirit of research. Research hard, research hard. "
"Yes!"
Wang Ping replied immediately.
Du Qi looked at the rest of the people, such as Tang Zhongsheng, Kun Da, and the others, and asked them one by one. Du Qi knew these people. After asking around, he said, "The location of the University of Science and Technology has been chosen and built. Now, it's just outside the west side of the city. This time, it covers an area of more than three thousand mu and the environment is very beautiful. Moreover, all the colleges in the University of Science and Technology have been planned. You just need to move in directly. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Sun Simiao and the others thanked him one after another.
Everyone was very excited.
They only submitted a memorial saying that they wanted to move to Qunu City. They did not expect Du Qi to not only agree, but also prepare everything so that once they arrived, they only needed to move in directly.
Du Qi asked the soldiers to be in charge of moving the items. During the day, they moved all the items in the University of Science and Technology. At night, Du Qi specially held a banquet in the palace to welcome everyone.
After the banquet, the guests and the host were very happy.
Everyone was not only admiring Du Qi, but also grateful and full of respect. Because of Du Qi's character and wisdom, everyone was deeply impressed by Du Qi.
