Completely controlling the plateau is a big challenge for Qi Guo.

Although the current Qi State is rich, if the people are organized there, they will need material assistance from the imperial court.

There are no roads there at all, and it is not enough to use the strength of the entire country to provide assistance in this era, if he really does that, Yang Hao is 100% sure that his country will definitely be dragged down by it.

Ruling there now is only nominally, and perhaps the best way to do it at the moment.

It's just that there are also a lot of drawbacks to doing this, and if this goes on like this, the people there will inevitably not be able to completely integrate into the environment of the Qi country.

Over time, there will inevitably be turmoil.

Yang Hao couldn't think of any particularly good way, so he could only sigh, only hoping that future generations would be able to solve this trouble.

The plateau was incorporated into the sphere of influence of the Qi State, and at the beginning of the eleventh year of the Emperor's reign, although the territory of the Qi State did not reach 9.6 million, it was already about the same.

Although this vast territory has a lot of water, the actual area of domination may be half of the nominal territory.

Yang Hao was also extremely satisfied.

At the very least, he has laid the foundation for future generations to be able to cope with challenges from other forces.

The Western Regions were temporarily stable, and the eleventh year of the emperor was a rare peace in the country.

In June, a breakthrough was made at the hydropower plant under the responsibility of the Academy of Sciences.

Electricity is no secret to the high-ranking intellectuals of the Qi State.

The power engineering project led by Yang Hao has begun since the Hongwu period, and more than ten years have passed until now.

After nearly a generation and countless investments, a breakthrough was finally made in this year.

Watching the power generation equipment run as usual, the light bulb made of bamboo charcoal is lit.

The cheers resounded in the sky, although the efficiency of power generation was very low, and the experimental hydropower station that cost hundreds of thousands of yuan to build only lit a dozen light bulbs may not be worth mentioning compared to later generations.

But for these researchers, it is very significant.

The principle of power generation is not difficult, whether it is direct current or alternating current, Yang Hao can explain the principle clearly.

But it took more than ten years to implement it from scratch.

In this experiment, Qi Guo mastered the technology that can stably output electricity.

Transformers and voltage regulators are the most significant breakthroughs in more than a decade.

In order to encourage more people to devote themselves to scientific research, Yang Hao awarded the highest award in the scientific community of Qi to these people who participated in scientific research.

Their names will be written into, in the textbooks of Qi State, and in the history books, and perhaps Yang Hao's name in some fields will be overshadowed in front of them.

This is the supreme honor, compared to which knighthood and material rewards seem so insignificant.

Yang Hao likes the era he created very much, although there is not so much entertainment, and the spiritual life of the people is extremely poor.

But compared with the better and better material life, any poetry and songs, entertainment activities, in his opinion, are dispensable.

The whole Qi state had a fanatical belief in science, and the Qi state's investment in education accounted for 30% of the imperial court's income.

No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, Yang Hao is extremely insistent on this point, although the ministers have a lot of complaints about this, but Yang Hao only has one sentence every time.

Neither our world, nor the alien worlds of my dreams, have ever heard of civilization being cut off by the importance of education.

Compared with later generations, the education level of Qi is naturally low, although after more than 30 years, generation after generation has perfected the knowledge system.

Its overall level is probably not as good as the secondary school level of later generations.

However, after pacifying the plateau in the eleventh year of the emperor's reign, Yang Haobian proposed a six-year compulsory education policy.

This policy is not just a three-year addition to the previous one.

This time, Yang Hao made a bold breakthrough and allowed the girls of Qi to go to school.

However, it was not co-educational as in later generations, but girls' schools were built in various places.

It's just that although women are allowed to study, they are not allowed to be officials.

In later generations, there was a sentence that touched Yang Hao very deeply, and he couldn't remember exactly what he said.

The overall quality and future of a country depends on the quality of the mother and the values of the woman, and the depravity of a woman will lead to the degeneration of a country as a whole.

If all women say that the men of a country want him to make money, it doesn't matter if his conscience is good or not.

Then all men will turn out to have a bad conscience and will do anything for money.

Abandonment of husbands and children will abound, and in the long run, the values of society will inevitably be distorted.

Yang Hao now has the ability to stop all this, and letting women read is to let them understand what courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame are, and what a woman is worthy of respect.

As for the issue of women's rights, Yang Hao thinks that it is not a matter of his time, but at least he has done something now.

After the degree of civilization in later generations is improved, it will not be possible to let the garbage civilization pollute itself, let the so-called emancipated women equate ***, let pseudo-feminism prevail, and the social atmosphere will be filthy.

Girls' school science is only a kind of common sense science, and it does not provide in-depth understanding.

The main thing is to cultivate their spirit, so that they can read and write, and they will not be like barbaric village women.

In the winter of the eleventh year of the emperor's reign, the court of Qi laid a line of ten Qi miles.

When the electric signal knocked by the dispatcher was received by people ten miles away, Yang Hao knew that the civilization of the Qi State had taken another step forward.

Yang Hao was both a little excited and a little helpless.

His level of knowledge was limited, and the telegraph was already the most cutting-edge technology he was able to achieve.

In the future, he can't do anything, and he will have to rely on the smart people of Qi State in the future.

He suddenly felt that if he hadn't traveled to such an era, but in a stable dynasty, maybe he would have become a gentleman who taught and educated people, or a contemporary saint of the type of Wen Copyist, who wrote books and said that he would ascend to immortality after death and be worshiped by future generations.

It's just that all this is already doomed from the moment he crosses into a slave.

Yang Hao sighed leisurely, remembering the past, and the limited emotion in his heart.

The quiet times are somewhat cozy and somewhat boring.

Five years have passed in a flash, and in the sixteenth year of the emperor's reign, the population of Qi has reached an astonishing 40 million people.

Chang'an alone has brought together more than a million people.

Thanks to the tenacious and productive seeds and efficient government institutions, even with such a large population, there was no upheaval in the whole society.

Even in disaster-stricken areas, trains can stabilize the situation in the shortest possible time.

At the same time, Westerners are finally ready to formally contact this opponent, who is far away in the East and close at hand.
