The most arrogant in history

Chapter 930: Veteran of Jingzhou.

Jiang Yourong had no choice but to nod: "Okay, let Tan Jingang bring a few more people to protect them secretly. After all, there are still remnants of the Kushan Empire and the indigenous people of Tianzhu here. What if they still remember the hatred of losing their country and it will be bad for the emperor."

In fact, there are not only the remnants of the Kushan Empire and the indigenous people of India, but also many corrupt officials and petty thieves from all over China!

They had their homes confiscated and were exiled here, so they were filled with resentment.

Therefore, security work cannot be relaxed.

Ye Kun didn't care and said with a smile: "I am here incognito and wearing sunglasses, who can recognize me?"

Jiang Yourong refused to give in: "That won't work either. We must ask Tan Jingang to bring a few more people."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Madam."

Tan Jingang selected a few people, led the team himself, and accompanied Ye Kun on the secret visit.

The carriage traveled for more than twenty miles and arrived at a large village in the countryside.

There is a primary school at the entrance of the village, where the sound of reading can be heard everywhere.

Ye Kun peeked through the window on the back wall of the school and saw more than 40 students in the classroom, reading aloud together. The sound of reading was clear:

"Dayu controlled the floods, Xia Qi inherited his mandate. The Nine Cauldrons were passed down from generation to generation, the black bird descended and the Shang Dynasty was born. Pan Geng moved the Yin Dynasty, Wu Ding revived the country. The priests carved oracle bones and inscribed the name of Fu Hao.

King Zhou was wicked, and the phoenixes in Xiqi sang. Jiang Taigong rode on his carriage and whipped his whip, and the sky and earth in Muye became clear and bright. The music and rituals were finally established. Look at the heroes of China, shining like stars! "

Most of the children who study here are Chinese.

There are also some mixed-race children, who were probably born to indigenous women who married Han people.

Pure-blooded natives are almost invisible.

Ye Kun was filled with emotion as he listened to the children reading.

After more than 20 years of entering India, the Han people finally turned this continent into a well-known Chinese land!

The teacher in the classroom was a middle-aged woman. When she saw Ye Kun and others outside the window, she immediately came over and asked through the window with a frown, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I'm from a nearby village and I want to send my grandson here to study."

The teacher breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "With your parents' household registration and ID card and a letter of recommendation from the village chief, you can go to school. However, the fall semester is over. If you want to register, you have to wait until after the New Year."

Schools in the Tianzhu continent also have two semesters a year, but the first semester starts in spring.

Ye Kun thanked him and asked, "Teacher, how much is the tuition?"

"Boys pay 100 wen per semester; girls pay free."

The teacher looked at Ye Kun with some suspicion and said, "You are a villager nearby, how come you don't know the tuition? We have been implementing this tuition standard for seven or eight years."

Ye Kun laughed and said, "I used to work outside. I just came back and don't know the situation in my hometown."

The teacher waved his hand and said, "Then go home and discuss it. We have to go to class. Don't delay the children's studies."

"Okay, okay, thank you teacher."

Ye Kun nodded and retreated.

If you go to the village and take a look, you will find that the houses in the countryside are similar to those in China.

Every family has a brick house, a well, and a small fish pond in front of the door.

There are all kinds of livestock, including cattle, sheep, etc.

An old man was sitting in front of the door, looking at Ye Kun passing by, and asked: "Old man, where are you from?"

Father-in-law?

Ye Kun was stunned for a moment before he realized that the other party was calling him. He stopped and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm here to visit a friend."

The old man was very enthusiastic: "What's your friend's name?"

"His name is Zhou Wen. His hometown is Jiangdong. I heard he immigrated here." Ye Kun made up a story.

"Zhou Wen? There is no such person in our village."

The old man shook his head and counted on his fingers, saying, "I am the earliest immigrant in this village. In the past 22 years, there have been a total of 18 immigrant families from the nine provinces of China, and none of them came here with the surname Zhou."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "You immigrated here twenty-two years ago? Why did you immigrate here?"

The old man smiled and said, "I am a soldier. The emperor brought me here."

Ye Kun was stunned and looked at the old man carefully, but he didn't recognize him.

The old man was very proud and said with a smile: "You haven't seen the emperor, have you? I have. In the third year after the emperor ascended the throne, he started the great migration from India and brought me here."

Ye Kun hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Brother, so you are someone close to the emperor. I am so sorry for your disrespect!"

"I am the emperor's soldier. I haven't seen the emperor for more than 20 years." The old man sighed:

"The emperor is two years younger than me. At that time, he was very majestic. Wherever he went, the people would cheer him on. But now, the emperor must be old."

Ye Kun simply sat down and said with a smile: "The emperor left you here, don't you blame him in your heart?"

"The conditions here are better than our hometown. My hometown, Jingzhou, is often hit by floods and natural disasters." The old man waved his hand and said, "Here I have 300 acres of fertile land and 50 acres of orchards, which is much better than my hometown."

"So you are a veteran from Jingzhou?"

"Yes, he used to be under the command of the eldest son of Jingzhou, and later followed the emperor."

"Haha, old friend, old comrade."

Ye Kun laughed, took off his sunglasses, and stepped forward: "Brother, look at me again, do you have any impression of me?"

The old man was stunned, stretched his neck, stared at Ye Kun's face, and suddenly shouted: "Oh my God, you are the emperor!"

Ye Kun laughed: "Old soldier from Jingzhou, you should know me."

"Your Majesty, it's really you!"

The old man stood up trembling and was about to kowtow.

“Don’t kowtow!” Ye Kun supported the old man and said with a smile: “You are about the same age as me, and you are my veteran, so you are my brother.”

"Your Majesty, am I dreaming?"

The old man wiped his tears, turned around and shouted into the house: "You bastards, get out here and kowtow to the emperor."

There was a commotion in the room, and a group of men and women came running in. They were all the old man's sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren.

The old man shouted at the children, "This is our emperor, why don't you kneel down and kowtow?"

Everyone was panicked and wanted to bow down.

"No, no, no, cancel the kneeling ceremony. No one is allowed to kowtow!" Ye Kun stopped everyone.

But the old man said that the children were younger than him and they must kowtow.

Ye Kun had no choice but to accept the gift.

The old man smiled and said, "Your Majesty, my name is Chen Erniu. I followed you and fought in many battles."

Ye Kun nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "You have participated in many battles, so you should have military merits, right?"

"He had a military merit, and after retiring, he returned to Jingzhou and became the village chief." Chen Erniu nodded and said:

"That year, there was a flood in Jingzhou, and we were placed in the Jingxiang flood zone. The court issued an order for the people in the flood zone to migrate to Tianzhu. I was the first to sign up, and I came with my whole family. Because I believed in the emperor and knew he would not lie to us."

"Thank you for your trust, brother."

Seeing his old soldier, Ye Kun was particularly friendly: "I'm not leaving today. Let's eat here and get drunk with you!"

Tan Jingang understood what he meant and sent two of his men to buy wine and food.

Chen Erniu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I couldn't be happier that you are eating here. Children, go buy some meat, some wine, and catch some fish and chickens!"
