The most arrogant in history

Chapter 834 Far East Plan.

Two years ago, Xiao Dequan wanted to obtain an overseas fiefdom for Xiao Ruliu's prince and set his sights on Madagascar.

Ye Kun also followed him and asked him to go for investigation.

Xiao Dequan really went there, bringing an advance team of a thousand people.

Xiao Ruliu smiled and said, "My second brother said that place is okay and can be used as an overseas fiefdom for the princes. Although the conditions there are not good, we can slowly build it up in the future."

Ye Kun nodded: "Okay, tomorrow night, I'll treat your second brother to a drink and we'll talk about it in detail."

Ye Kun racked his brains but couldn't figure out why Xiao Dequan was interested in Xihua Island!

That place was also an extremely underdeveloped area in later generations.

Many of the national highways in the country are yellow mud roads and are impassable during the rainy season.

The temperature is high and the weather is hot.

In an era without air conditioning and coolers, living there was like living in a steamer!

Africa is a vast country with many good places, but Xiao Dequan didn't want them and instead set his eyes on Madagascar.

After dinner, Ye Kun went to Xiao Ruliu's palace to talk to her.

Of course, do other things as well.

After the tenderness, Xiao Ruliu hugged Ye Kun's neck and whispered:

"Your Majesty, I am no longer young and cannot serve you. Otherwise, let my second brother select a few young girls for you from Jiangdong."

"Nonsense, I see you are only eighteen years old, how can you say you are no longer young?"

Ye Kun smiled and sighed, "Don't mention the matter of selecting beauties in the future. I am old and no longer have that kind of mind. I will be laughed at if I still want to select concubines at this age, and it will also delay the young girl's time."

"But you are the emperor. How can you not have young concubines around you?"

"Don't I have you? I am content."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Go to sleep, Concubine Liu, don't let me get scolded. I want to be a good emperor and leave a good reputation for myself, you should help me."

Men all love beautiful women.

A hundred-year-old man is no exception.

But Ye Kun is old and has a lot of adult children, so it's really embarrassing to choose a young concubine.

When you get old, you should take care of your health and focus your main energy on governing the country and expanding it.

Xiao Ruliu wanted to please Ye Kun, but Ye Kun didn't buy it and said with a smile: "The emperor is a wise ruler who doesn't like women. He is a role model for all ages."

Is this a compliment or a criticism?

Ye Kun rubbed his face and buried his head in sleep.

The next day, Ye Kun went on to convene a meeting of nine departments.

Ye Kun was very modest and said with a smile: "Today, I will report my trip to the North Country to all the lords of the Nine Departments. There are still some minor problems in the development of the North Country. Let's discuss and solve them together."

Everyone was flattered.

Ye Kun reported the overall situation of the North Country, gave it a high evaluation, and then said:

"Economically speaking, the Northern Kingdom has achieved self-sufficiency and created wealth for the country and the court. However, there is a shortage of food, and the court is still under pressure to supply it.

The main problem of the North Country is food self-sufficiency. I have been investigating in the North Country and have agreed to the development plan of Hunhe Farm. The court and the nine ministries should strongly support it. "

After looking at the simple plan and budget, everyone said there was no problem.

Ye Kun added: "There is one more thing, which is to send troops to the Outer Xing'an Mountains and the Far East Plan. As for Beihua Island, we will also set up a garrison to declare territorial sovereignty."

Sang Buyi smiled and said, "Sending troops to the Outer Xing'an Mountains, the Far East, and Beihua Island doesn't seem to have any economic benefits, it will only result in losses."

"It will be good in the future, just look at the long term."

Ye Kun smiled and said:

"From the North Sea to the Arctic Circle, there are still vast lands. Although these places are bitterly cold and unsuitable for human survival, they are rich in oil, natural gas and gold resources.

We are now carrying out the enclosure movement, enclosing all these places and leaving them to the descendants of the Chinese nation. Our current technology cannot develop the underground resources in the north, but our descendants will definitely be able to!

The current land enclosure movement is to save money for future generations and leave them space for survival and development. "

Zhuge Hong nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. Even if we lose money by sending troops to the north, it won't be too much. We can afford it. Looking at the long term, we may lose money now, but the descendants of China will definitely make a lot of money."

Sang Buyi felt a little uncomfortable and hesitated to speak.

Ye Kun added: "We need to have a Far East plan, and we also need a Far North plan. The footprints of our Chinese people should go north to the Arctic Circle. Wherever the sun and the moon shine, wherever rivers flow, wherever the sea covers, it is the land of our Chinese people!

But at present, the land we occupy is less than half of the world's total area. As I said before, the great cause has not yet been accomplished, and you still need to work hard. "

Sang Buyi nodded: "The nine ministries support the emperor's cause, as long as the finances can keep up."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "As long as the people have enough food and clothing, there will be no problem with the economy and finances."

The meeting lasted the entire morning.

In the evening, Ye Kun hosted a banquet for Xiao Dequan.

Prince Ye Feng was accompanying him.

Xiao Dequan went to Xihua Island for investigation and traveled back and forth for two years. He got tanned, but still looked energetic.

After three rounds of drinking, Ye Kun asked, "How is the situation of King Wu's inspection of Xihua Island?"

"Your Majesty, I think that place is very good, it is a good place for Feng Shui." Xiao Dequan grinned and said:

"It is far from the land and isolated from the outside world. Once a country is established, it will last forever. No one can attack it, and there is no need to worry about foreign invasions."

“What’s the weather like on the island?”

"It's very hot on the island, but there's enough rainfall so we can develop agriculture. The plains and the seaside aren't suitable for living, but there are mountains there, which are cooler and we can build cities and settle down there."

“Are there indigenous people on the island too?”

"There are indigenous people, but less than 100,000." Xiao Dequan was a little excited:

"We can just rule these natives when we immigrate there, let them work, and build the island. Twenty years later, when the immigrants' children grow up, the blood transfusion will be complete, and the island will be full of Han people."

"Okay, I promise you that I will immigrate to Xihua Island and support the two princes born to Concubine Liu." Ye Kun nodded and said:

"But it's thousands of miles away, and immigration is not easy. How many immigrants do you plan to bring over?"

"Of course the more immigrants the better, but I'm afraid there won't be that many people... willing to go."

Xiao Dequan also sighed and said, "I can bring some folks from Jiangdong, but there are only a few thousand people. For the rest, I hope the emperor will support them. I estimate that at least 10,000 to 20,000 people are needed to gain a foothold there and ensure reproduction and development."

Ye Kun thought for a moment and said, "We need to take our time with immigration. I suggest that you first take a few thousand Jiangdong folks over there to build a base, and then slowly increase the number of immigrants."

"I brought a thousand people with me during this inspection. Six hundred of them stayed there and are already building a base. By the time we officially immigrate, the base there should be large enough."

"Then let's do this." Ye Kun pondered for a moment:

"There are about 30,000 orphans and foster homes this year. They have grown up and become new soldiers. I will give you 3,000 female soldiers and 1,000 male soldiers to immigrate with you.

All the criminals captured this year in Jiangdong area are handed over to you. There are about 2,000 people and more than 300 households.

Adding all together, there are about 6,000 to 7,000 people. Add the immigrants you recruited yourself, a total of more than 10,000, which should be enough."
