The two children were now about one and a half years old. They could already get down from the ground and run around. Now that the weather was getting colder, they were wearing thick clothes like little bears, which made the two children's movements quite clumsy. Although they hadn't seen each other for a few months, the two children were extremely happy when they saw Du Qi. They opened their arms and ran to Du Qi to ask for hugs.
The two children were very close to Du Qi.
Especially Li Yanyun and Qianxue, they were very strict with the children and didn't spoil them at all. Therefore, under such circumstances, they preferred to be close to Du Qi.
Du Qi played with the children in the harem for half a day before leaving to deal with government affairs.
During this period of time, he wrote books when he was free. He copied a lot of teaching materials. Some were related to mathematics, some were related to physics, chemistry, and other biology, geography, etc. He wrote about all kinds of subjects.
These books were all copied from Du Qi's mind.
After Du Qi sorted all the books, he arranged for someone to inform Wang Ji of the Imperial College.
Wang Ji was the Imperial Chancellor and was in charge of the Imperial College. Other than that, he was in charge of the University of Science and Technology and other education. Therefore, Wang Ji arranged for the people of the University of Science and Technology to study the books.
However, not long after the attendant left the hall, he turned back and said, "Your Majesty, Chancellor Wang is here."
Du Qi said, "So soon?"
The attendant replied, "I went to inform him. Coincidentally, I met Chancellor Wang who was about to have an audience with him in the palace."
Du Qi waved his hand, and the attendant left.
Wang Ji entered. Now, Wang Ji's hair was graying. Because he was in charge of the Imperial College, he had a lot of things to worry about, especially those related to the University of Science and Technology and education. He often went to Yizhou to inspect the University of Science and Technology. In addition, Wang Ji also spent a lot of effort to fight for the funding of the University of Science and Technology. He hoped that the University of Science and Technology would develop better.
After Wang Ji stood still, he bowed and said, "Wang Ji greets Your Majesty."
"Sit!"
Du Qi waved his hand and ordered.
After Wang Ji sat down, Du Qi asked, "Chancellor Wang, what's the matter for you to come here today?"
Wang Ji said seriously, "Your Majesty, I have discussed some matters with some teachers in the University of Science and Technology. I think it is quite important, especially when it involves the issue of making the people of the Western Regions submit to us. Therefore, I have drafted a report and earnestly request Your Majesty to read it."
As he spoke, Wang Ji took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch to pass to Du Qi.
After Du Qi opened it, he quickly read through it.
The more Du Qi read, the more shocked he became. Simply put, Wang Ji's memorial was about the proportion of Han Chinese in the Western Regions. Currently, the Western Regions had people from Yanqi, Qiuci, and many other countries. Because there were all kinds of different groups of people in different countries, there were also divisions.
In this situation, after Wang Ji and the teachers from the University of Science and Technology discussed it, they felt that it was somewhat similar to the Qin Kingdom's destruction of the six kingdoms. Although each kingdom had been destroyed, in reality, the people of each country still had their own traditions and beliefs.
In fact, these people even thought that they belonged to a certain country from the bottom of their hearts. Even if they submitted to Du Qi, they did not recognize him from the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, in Wang Ji's memorial, what he mentioned was that the cars should be on the same track and the books should be written in the same language.
In terms of language, it should also be unified. There should no longer be different dialects in different places. Everyone should follow the same standard. At the same time, all the people of each country could only be of the same race.
All the people in the Xia Xia's territory were Han Chinese. There would no longer be any racial distinction.
This was the theory of a grand unification.
Only in this way could there be a real cohesive force and make everyone submit.
After Du Qi finished reading, he exclaimed in admiration, "Chancellor Wang, this essay of yours is rather valuable. It can be said that with this article, Xia Xia's grand unification foundation can be laid. Otherwise, Xia Xia would only be a small country in the Western Regions without its own foundation and heritage. With this article, Xia Xia's true backbone and body will be formed. "
Wang Ji said seriously, "Your Majesty is too kind. We just feel that Xia Xia in the Western Regions should have its own unified language, standards, and so on. It should not be too simple and crude to mix all the different countries and races together."
Du Qi nodded in agreement with Wang Ji's words. Shortly after, he ordered, "Men!"
When the chamberlain entered, Du Qi ordered, "Immediately inform the cabinet members, the ministers of the Six Ministries, the heads of the Five Temples, and the officials of the Censorate to discuss matters."
"Yes!"
The chamberlain immediately went to pass down the order.
The cabinet members and the ministers of the Six Ministries were the core of the hierarchy. They were Du Qi's direct subordinates. The chamberlain went to pass down the order. After a while, Shangguan Yi, Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng, and the others could be seen entering the palace.
Everyone bowed and took their seats.
After everyone was seated, Du Qi handed the memorial in his hand to Shangguan Yi and ordered, "Shangguan Yi, take a look at this article first. After you read it, pass it down directly. There's no need to be constrained by status and official position. Just go around it in order. "
"Yes!"
Shangguan Yi immediately agreed.
He opened the memorial and began to read the contents. The more Shangguan Yi read, the more surprised he became. This was because the contents of this document were quite significant.
As a wise man, Shangguan Yi naturally understood the influence brought about by a unified language and writing system. This was truly a way to integrate all the different races. Because if this standard was implemented, in two or three generations, there would only be one country left in the Western Regions, and that was Xia Xia.
After reading it, Shangguan Yi took a deep breath and passed the letter down.
After Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng, and the others finished reading, some of them didn't think much of it because they didn't quite understand it. For example, Yu Deshui and Zhang Jingping didn't quite understand it. The others were all knowledgeable people, and they all knew that the weight of this document was no less than the weight of the cauldron.
Du Qi instructed, "Now that all of you have finished reading the contents of the letter, there's no need to discuss it further. Since that's the case, let's talk about how this matter will be implemented and how it will be arranged. "
His words already touched on the implementation.
He was preparing to implement it.
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty, this document is very valuable. To Xia Xia, with this document, we will have a foundation for the future. In the past, when Qin destroyed the six states, we used the same language and wrote the same language. Only then did we establish the future territory and start the unification of the various countries. If not for Great Qin's actions, even if the world was unified, it would have collapsed. Since Xia Xia unified the various countries in the Western Regions, we should follow suit. However, I think that on this foundation, there should be even stronger terms. "
Du Qi said, "Let's hear it!"
Shangguan Yi said, "The strongest term is that within Xia Xia's territory, there will only be Han people and no other people. As long as it is within the territory of the Xia, everyone is a citizen of the Xia. If anyone resists or does not approve, we will kill them without mercy. Even if this arrangement is rather tough, even iron-blooded, it will be extremely helpful to the foundation of the Ten Thousand Generations. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "This theory of unification is quite good. Mr. Shangguan's suggestion is reasonable. All of them were Han Chinese. Everyone will be citizens of Great Xia, and they will all study, learn to read, and speak the Han language. "
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Liu Zhengxi said, "When it comes to this matter, I think that we should temporarily stop the expansion. Now, we have almost covered the entire Western Regions. If we go further west, we will touch on Tianzhu, Persia, and other countries. Now, I think that we can start to adjust internally and stop the expansion for the time being. "
Du Qi said, "When we were changing cities, I already had a plan to stop the expansion for the time being. Right now, we should focus on developing ourselves. "
As soon as he said that, Liu Zhengxi, Shangguan Yi, and the others praised Du Qi's wisdom.
They were all praising Du Qi.
To everyone, appropriate adjustment and development was the foundation for long-term stability. Without this foundation, if they wanted to expand and develop, they would not be able to continue. They had to have a solid foundation.
