After the battle of Famiao, Heifu, who had many military exploits, was honored to be promoted to a glorious low-ranking officer of Daqi.

Although he is only a squad leader in the militia, for ordinary people who were white more than a year ago, such an identity has changed a lot.

After all, for most ordinary people, it is not easy to have a decent identity for a lifetime, the elite class is a minority after all, and the hot kang head of the wife and children is the normal life of ordinary people.

Heifu feels that he is an ordinary person, and he does not have much ambition, he just hopes that he will do a good job in this position dutifully, and when he is discharged from the army, he can get a good discharge pension, buy some land in Lingzhou, and live a leisurely life of sunrise and sunset.

In Lingzhou in March, it has become hot, and the crops planted half a month ago have broken through the soil.

And Heifu was also granted a month-long vacation this season.

Heifu couldn't wait to return to Lingzhou, he had too much to do.

First of all, he is a lifelong event, he doesn't know if he has been gone for more than a year, and whether the sweetheart of the long family there is still waiting for him.

Secondly, he wants to bring the ashes of his former comrades-in-arms home, and when he is discharged from the army, he will hand over these ashes to their families, which is his promise.

Lingzhou City, as an important town in the south, has become more and more prosperous after quelling the Miao rebellion.

As one of the few industrial cities in Qi, Lingzhou's status even surpasses that of Jingzhou's capital.

Looking at some familiar and unfamiliar hometowns, Heifu's mood was inexplicably heavy.

Straighten up his clothes, take a deep breath, and follow the flow of people back to the city that he has not seen for a long time.

The city has also changed considerably, with many more vendors lining the streets than there were two years ago, and there are many more shops that I have never seen before.

Hefu walked silently down the street, following the path he remembered and returned to his long-lost courtyard.

The mud-walled yard looks a little dilapidated.

Heifu sighed and pushed open the creaking wooden door.

It's just that the courtyard is not as dilapidated as he imagined.

The small tree that was planted at the beginning has grown to a height that can enjoy the shade, and there is a small stool under the small tree, and a somewhat bald broom stands quietly by the wall.

The corners of Heifu's mouth couldn't help but show a smirk.

Walking into the somewhat dimly lit thatched house, Heifu heavily wrapped his body still on the kang, untied the saber at his waist and lay comfortably on the somewhat cold earthen kang.

The joys, sorrows, and sorrows of a small person like Heifu naturally cannot affect the development of the huge Qi country.

At the beginning of March of the 14th year of Hongwu, the geographical expedition organized by the imperial court officially set off from Chang'an City.

The personnel in the delegation were a special organization separated from the Ministry of Industry.

These people consisted of young officials and researchers from the Academy of Sciences.

Their task was to draw a detailed topographical map of the kingdom of Qi, a long scientific expedition that would take decades and generations.

Yang Hao is well aware of the importance of a detailed map.

Without the assistance of advanced technology such as satellites, the only feasible way to grasp one's territory is to spend a long time, spend countless energy, and measure every inch of land with your feet.

However, Yang Hao has time to wait, this project must have the spirit of Yugong, and the children and grandchildren will continue to continue, and sooner or later, a detailed territory map will be presented in front of the monarchs of the Qi Kingdom.

This is a great achievement that will benefit the present generation and the future generations.

Yang Hao thinks that this is a feat that has never been done before, and there is a wild donkey friend Xu Xiake who has spent his life traveling all over the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, and in this time and space, Yang Hao conducted a formal scientific investigation in the name of the emperor.

The fourteenth year of Hongwu is destined to be an extraordinary year.

Since the beginning of this year, Yang Hao is no longer as timid as before.

After he lost a strong enemy, the ideas that he once only existed in his mind were being put into practice by him one by one.

He put forward one advanced idea after another, and with each idea, he would write a logical and clear theoretical basis, and these theories were regarded as the most cutting-edge science and technology by the intellectuals of Qi State.

For a time, the intellectuals who loved natural sciences in Qi were crazy about it and plunged headlong into the boundless theoretical research.

Since the fourteenth year of Hongwu, the state of Qi has opened the long-shackled prison and liberated the rigid mind.

And this period is known in the history books of later generations as the era of the explosion of science, and it is the great period that all scientific researchers are most admired.

If it is said that later generations ruled the world with Confucianism in the Analects, the Qi State was founded on science.

In this time and space, no civilization is as madly obsessed with science as Qi Guo.

For more than ten years, science and technology have brought changes to the Qi country, and every Qi person has a personal experience, and the Qi people have not developed a religion, but the obsession with scientific knowledge is no less than the madness of religious fanatics.

In all the institutions of Qi country, natural science occupies a large proportion, and in the atmosphere of such a fascination with science in the general environment, Qi universities, as a talent training base, regard natural science as an important means to change their own destiny.

Turning knowledge into utilitarian, Yang Hao felt a little helpless, but he also knew that this method was the most able to stimulate a person's potential.

Although young people are studying natural sciences, in the end, only a small number of people can really engage in research work for a lifetime, and most of them will still be polluted by the rolling red dust, thrown into the dark and dirty vanity fair, and forget all the innocence and passion at the beginning.

When the whole country is bent on better living conditions, the potential is endless.

After pacifying the surrounding threats, the outbreak of Qi State had amazing potential, which shocked Yang Hao.

The current state of Qi Guo gave him the feeling of being in another time and space Taizu period.

And he, like Taizu, has become the spiritual leader of this new country, and there may be a book of quotations between him and Taizu.

In order to meet the massive demand for food due to the increasingly severe population growth, Yang Hao and Hongwu proposed a new policy at the end of the spring of the 14th year.

He planned to set up reclamation regiments and state-run farms in various state capitals, and only with the participation of state forces could the limits of manpower be brought into full play.

However, he did not intend to interfere with the traditional cultivation methods of the Qi country's homesteaders.

Only by combining the state-run and private sectors can they make up for their respective shortcomings, and his theory is to maximize profits, and all policies that run counter to this theory are rejected by him without hesitation.
