After Du Qi finished dealing with the matter, he wrote a letter and arranged for someone to send it back to Yizhou. He asked Liu Zhengxi, Yuan Yin, and the others to gather everyone in Ping Xi Wang Manor to move to Gaochang City.
The reason why he left Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng, and the others behind was to organize the relocation. This relocation involved a lot of property, books, and the allocation of all kinds of resources.
Everyone had to be there.
Only then could there be no mistakes.
After Du Qi spread the news, he had some free time. In the following time, Du Qi slowly adjusted the officials in Gaochang City to strengthen his control over Gaochang Country. Under such adjustments, time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the start of the 3rd month.
At the start of the 3rd month, Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng, and Jin Wuque all arrived. Apart from that, Dan Yangzi's munitions factory was also moved to Gaochang City.
The weapons produced by the munitions factory were absolute secrets. They were extremely important and could not be leaked. Hence, Du Qi was not at ease leaving the munitions factory in Yiwu City.
The University of Science and Technology was still in Yiwu County.
After all, the scale of the University of Science and Technology was huge and had just been built. It could not be moved casually.
As the people from the Wang Manor, Li Yanyun, and Qianxue arrived in Gaochang, everyone started to get busy. At this time, Du Qi increased his efforts to change Gaochang City. It was no longer a simple change but a bold one.
The officials who needed to be adjusted were adjusted immediately.
Those who needed to be promoted were promoted immediately.
The entire officialdom was in turmoil. However, with Du Qi's army holding the fort, everything was carried out in an orderly manner. Especially the Discipline Inspection Division that Jin Wuque was in charge of. They continuously investigated and punished the corrupt officials.
Originally, it was easy to cause unrest by punishing the officials. After all, Gaochang City had just submitted. However, the people of the Discipline Inspection Office would always deal with the officials with great fanfare. Furthermore, they would announce the crimes of each official in front of the commoners. The commoners all supported the punishment of the corrupt officials. Even though some people were afraid and even tried to incite the commoners, they didn't cause any waves.
In the blink of an eye, it was the start of the 5th month.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter.
Du Qi's changes to the officialdom in Gaochang City and the control of the army were all completed. Even the various fortifications were being pushed in an orderly manner. The construction of concrete roads was also progressing quickly.
Everything was flourishing.
The many benefits that Du Qi brought caused the people of Gaochang State to forget about Ju Wentai and the Gaochang State of the past. This was because Du Qi not only exempted them from taxes and corvee labor, but also provided them with many opportunities to work.
The people were simple and honest.
Du Qi brought opportunities to the commoners, allowing them to live good lives. The commoners all supported Du Qi.
Under this premise, even if there were some people who were unsatisfied with Du Qi's control, it wouldn't affect Du Qi much. Du Qi had already taken control of the entire Gaochang Province.
Everything was developing in an orderly manner.
Furthermore, after Gaochang State submitted, due to the widespread promotion of Gaochang State, the commoners all acknowledged it.
That was the foundation.
This was what everyone wanted.
Du Qi governed Gaochang and Yizhou, and their economies developed rapidly. Due to Du Qi's policies, more and more commoners gathered in the two places. Whether it was the economy, the population, or the military strength, there was a leap in all.
After controlling two Prefectures, Du Qi's army once again expanded to 30,000 soldiers. These were 30,000 elite soldiers, and not including the auxiliary soldiers, there were also 5,000 armored cavalrymen.
Because of this, Du Qi had already become a hegemon in the Western Domain.
The weather at the end of May was getting hotter and hotter. Du Qi also spent less time outside. On this day, when Du Qi was handling government affairs in his residence, Qu Cizaren came to see him.
Du Qi ordered the soldiers to bring Qu Cizaren in.
When Qu Cizaren saw Du Qi, he knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed. "Your Highness, I previously arranged for someone to send a letter to the Japanese. My father has agreed to buy the battle blade."
"It's just that the person who came back to deliver the message encountered trouble in various places on the way and was repeatedly delayed."
"He has only just arrived."
"In the letter, my father has agreed to buy Your Highness' weapons. In the letter, he said that Lang Ri Songzan's condition has worsened. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer."
Qu Cizaren said, "Because the roads are blocked, we can't wait for my father to send the money and then send the war blade. What I mean is that Your Highness should send 10,000 war blades south to Tibet and hand them to my father. "
Du Qi laughed. "Qu Cizaren, your idea is not bad. The problem is, with the chaos in Tibet, how should I hand over the weapons? Once the weapons are sent to Tibet, they will be easily attacked. "
Qu Cizaren said, "Your Highness' army is very strong. If anyone dares to stop them, they will be eliminated. When Your Highness' army arrives at Qiongba and hands over the weapons to my father, he will immediately pay the money. Your Highness doesn't have to worry about this matter. "
Du Qi's eyes rolled around.
He was thinking about how to deal with this.
Lang Ri Songzan's death would definitely cause internal chaos in Tibet. Du Qi was not willing to miss this opportunity. On this point, Du Qi's interference was inevitable. It was impossible for him not to interfere.
Du Qi thought about it carefully and said in a deep voice, "It's not impossible for this King to send troops."
Qu Cizaren said, "Your Highness, please speak."
Qu Cizaren was afraid of Du Qi from the bottom of his heart. The reason was simple. Du Qi had obtained Gaochang Prefecture and Yizhou Prefecture in a short period of time. His strength was getting stronger.
In the past, Du Qi's strength was invincible.
Now, it was even more unfathomable.
Du Qi continued, "I can arrange for the troops to escort the weapons, but I have two conditions. First, allow Arhan to preach and spread Manichaeism throughout Tibet. Second, the merchants under my command will not be taxed in Tibet. They will be allowed to do business. "
"Okay!"
Qu Cizaren didn't even think and directly answered.
To him, no matter what Du Qi's conditions were, he had to satisfy Du Qi's conditions first. He had to let Du Qi send the soldiers to deliver the weapons and ensure that his father's strength would increase.
Only when his father obtained victory in the battle with Lang Ri Songzan could they talk about the follow-up. If they couldn't even obtain the most basic victory, then everything else would be useless.
Du Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "Qu Cizaren, I'll remind you again. You should know the consequences if you dare to violate the agreement. It's easy for me to deal with Tibet. "
Qu Cizaren said, "Your Highness, don't worry. My father will fulfill his promise."
Du Qi said, "I hope it's as you said."
"Men!"
Du Qi immediately ordered. When the eunuch entered, Du Qi ordered, "Inform Xue Rengui to come to the palace."
"Yes!"
The eunuch immediately went to pass down the order.
About half an hour later, Xue Rengui hurriedly entered the palace. When he saw Du Qi, he bowed and cupped his fists. "Your Highness!"
Du Qi ordered, "Choose a general from the generals under your command. Bring three thousand elite cavalry and escort ten thousand war sabers to Tibet and hand them to Gonga. If there's a battle in Tibet, you can help Gonga. However, if you help Gonga, you will have to pay a fee. The war sabers and money this time will be escorted back as well. "
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Xue Rengui cupped his fists and agreed.
His eyes turned. There was no war in the army now, and he was almost rusty from training the soldiers every day. It would be good if he could lead the troops to battle.
Therefore, Xue Rengui said, "Your Highness, can I go personally?"
Du Qi said, "You still have an important mission in Gaochang, so you can't leave. There will be many battles in the future. "
Xue Rengui said, "Your Highness, Your Highness."
Du Qi nodded and looked at Qu Cizaren. He said, "Qu Cizaren, arrange for someone to go down south and pass the message to Gonga. Let him arrange for people to gather at the border first. Otherwise, when our army enters, it will be easy to encounter trouble. In short, contact them early to avoid trouble. "
Qu Cizaren said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will immediately send a letter back to ask my father to make preparations. This way, when the weapons arrive, my father will come to receive them. "
Du Qi nodded. Xue Rengui and Qu Cizaren bid farewell and left.
