The most arrogant in history

Chapter 541 A moment of life and death.

Jiang Youbao also bowed and said with a smile, "It's rare that the Emperor and the Empress are free today, come in and have some tea."

Ye Kun nodded and asked Ye Feng to greet his grandparents, uncle and aunt.

When they arrived at the father-in-law's house and sat down, the third sister Youcai and her husband He Quan also came.

The family is having a lively time.

After three rounds of drinks, Jiang Youcai asked, "Brother-in-law, Your Majesty, can we talk about work today?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "It must be the textile factory. Something went wrong again, right? Do they need money or people?"

A fire broke out at the Jiangnan Textile Factory this year, burning hundreds of thousands of kilograms of cotton in the warehouse.

They also burned down houses and killed dozens of workers.

For this matter, Ye Kun criticized Jiang Youcai and ordered Jiang Youcai, Ma Zhao and others to thoroughly investigate the matter and hold them accountable.

Jiang Youcai also felt quite aggrieved, so he dismissed the person in charge of Jiangnan Textile Factory, held relevant personnel accountable, confiscated their property, and required them to compensate the workers for their pensions and the factory's losses.

"This time, we don't need people or money."

Jiang Youcai shook his head and said with a smile:

"We have brought in too many workers from outside. The factory is full of foreigners. Only the management and technicians are Chinese."

Ye Kun asked: "How many people are there in all the major textile factories across the country?"

"Three hundred and seventy thousand."

Jiang Youcai shrugged: "Among them, there are about 280,000 foreign female workers. There are people from Jiaozhi, Liaodong, Goguryeo, Xiqiang, Rome, Tianzhu... The managers in our factory have now become translators for all countries and have learned several foreign languages."

Jiang Yourong laughed and said, "Is it so exaggerated again?"

"Strengthening international exchanges is a good thing."

Ye Kun suppressed his laughter and asked, "Don't we have a rule that requires foreign workers to learn to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters? Why are your administrators learning foreign languages ​​like others?"

"You can't kill someone just because they say something occasionally."

Jiang Youcai sighed: "What's even more infuriating is that our factory had just trained these migrant female workers, but you took them away, saying that you were sending them to the countryside to arrange marriages, and then replaced them with a new batch of workers.

In this way, our textile factory has become a training school. Foreign workers come and go like a stream, affecting our production and everyone's mood. "

Ye Kun asked: "How long will the female workers stay in the textile factory?"

"At most half a year, he will be taken away by the Ministry of Revenue."

"This is the result of a discussion between the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry. Sang Buyi and others discussed it in a meeting." Ye Kun thought for a moment and said:

"In fact, these workers will receive education from the moment they get on board. Before entering the factory, they will be quarantined on the island for half a month to continue their studies. After entering the factory and further studying for another half a year, they can generally learn simple Chinese communication and even recognize hundreds of Chinese characters.

Arranging them to marry in the countryside is also a way out. They can't just stay together forever, right?"

In order to develop the population, Ye Kun had no choice but to be cruel about some things.

However, with regard to immigration, Ma Zhao and others have also developed detailed and proper procedures, as well as specific protection measures.

No matter how great an emperor is, he cannot take care of every individual. He can only make laws and regulations to protect these foreign women as much as possible.

Jiang Youcai sighed: "Can we discuss extending the time those female workers spend in the textile factory? If the time can be extended to one year, I have no objection."

Ye Kun nodded: "I'll remember it. I'll propose it at the next meeting."

"Thank you, brother-in-law of the emperor."

Jiang Youcai smiled and stood up to toast.

Jiang Yourong added: "By the way, Your Majesty, you promised me that we would go to the orphanage together."

Ye Kun was preoccupied with things to do. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's do it tomorrow. Let the relevant personnel prepare, and we will go to the orphanage in Zhuo County."

Ye Feng also came to add to the chaos and said, "Father, I want to go out and fight."

"You are only fourteen years old. What kind of war are you fighting and who are you fighting against?"

Ye Kun frowned: "Have you finished your university courses? Have you finished your military academy courses?"

Ye Feng lowered his head and said, "I have finished my studies. If you don't believe me, you can test me."

"Okay, then tell me about Tian Ji's horse race. How should it be used in war?"

"Tian Ji took advantage of a loophole in the rules when he was racing horses. If it was a war, he would be dead. The other side's strong army would first defeat Tian Ji's weak army, and then encircle and suppress Tian Ji's strong army, which would make his entire army annihilate."

"It seems to make sense." Ye Kun nodded and asked:

"We are now going to attack the Indian Peninsula. How much do you know about the Indian Peninsula? How do you think we should fight this war?"

"Advance troops to defeat the enemy's plans, and defeat the enemy's troops without fighting."

Ye Feng spoke freely: "The population of Tianzhu Continent is tens of millions, and its area is equivalent to half of China's nine provinces. But they have several forces, and they are already fighting each other. We can add fuel to the fire and make them fight more fiercely. At the same time, we can build a base on the Tianzhu Peninsula and fight an economic war."

Ye Kun was a little surprised and nodded, "Go on, how do we fight an economic war?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "When they fight, it will cause famine and food shortages. We will pay a high price to buy food and store it. We will use the food to make the local people support us. Then, we will advance step by step and control the entire island without having to start a war."

"What if the local separatist forces come to attack you?"

"That's perfect. I don't need to send out troops. I can just shoot them on my own wall. I'll kill as many as they come. Fighting at home is much more cost-effective than an expedition."

"You kid..."

Ye Kun thought for a moment and asked, "These things are not something you analyzed by yourself. Let me ask you, which teacher taught you this?"

Ye Feng’s analysis just now was Ye Kun’s idea.

Ye Feng was only a teenager, a young boy, it was impossible for him to think of so many things.

Ye Feng said stubbornly: "Father, these are all my own ideas."

"Stop talking nonsense. If you can think of this much, I will give up my seat to you immediately."

Ye Kun glared: "You said that it was all your own idea. Let me ask you, how should we deal with the Huns in the north?"

"Mr. Hu... mentioned it to me when we were chatting..." Ye Feng finally confessed honestly and said with a smile: "However, some of the things were summarized by me when I was chatting with Mr. Hu."

"Mr. Hu?"

The Mr. Hu that Ye Feng mentioned is Hu Gaoyuan, a famous scholar in the Central Plains. He is in his forties and was introduced by He Kangju to be Ye Feng's teacher.

Ye Kun originally thought that Hu Gaoyuan was just a Confucian scholar, but he did not expect that he had such a strategic vision.

Ye Feng begged again: "Father, please let me go to the war. With Mr. Hu as my military advisor, nothing will go wrong."

Ye Kun glared: "I dare not promise you this. If you want to go to war, ask your mother for her opinion."

Jiang Yourong regarded his children as the apple of his eye. Of course, he was worried about the teenage Ye Feng going out to fight. He immediately frowned and said:

"Feng'er, don't mess around. If you want to fight, you have to wait until you are 20 years old and have a son. Is fighting a joke? Life and death are just a matter of a second. If something goes wrong with you, how will your mother survive?"
