The most arrogant in history

Chapter 923: The Great Immigration to the West Sea.

Jiang Yourong gradually controlled her emotions and said with a smile, "Sister Yuejuan, don't cry. I saw on the map that we are not very far away. It will only take three to five days by sea, right?"

"Three days and nights."

Liu Yuejuan finally wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Now that I'm here, I won't leave, so that I won't miss you day and night when I go back."

Ye Kun held Liu Yuejuan's hand and said, "If you want to go to Hanhuang Island again, I won't let you go!"

Liu Yuejuan nodded repeatedly: "From now on, no matter where the emperor goes, I will follow him. Even if you hit me, I won't leave!"

Everyone laughed.

Ye Kun had a very happy Spring Festival.

Because I was reunited with Xie Baochan and Liu Yuejuan.

But sometimes, Ye Kun would miss Dai Xi, Wen Axiu and others...

Liu Yuejuan and Xie Baochan were even happier, their smiles as bright as flowers.

The three of them hang out together every day, playing mahjong and Landlord, and they are full of energy!

After the Spring Festival, immigrants from all over China came here in large numbers.

Almost every seven or eight days, a group of new soldiers and immigrants arrived.

Because of the forced immigration of the nine provinces of China, a system has been formed.

If a family has eight or more brothers and sisters, one of them must immigrate, regardless of gender.

Then these young people are sent to coastal islands for collective training and then immigrate overseas.

There were also some corrupt officials who were sentenced to immigrate with their entire families.

Some of the new recruits also come to serve overseas.

Ye Kun then became busy, working with Bao Sheng and others to resettle the immigrants.

It just so happened that Xiao Dequan was looking for someone again.

Ye Kun handed all the corrupt officials to Xiao Dequan.

Young people and girls from good families will stay in the Oil Peninsula or be given to Ye Shusheng and Huangfu Lin.

In just half a year, more than 200,000 immigrants stopped in the Oil Peninsula and then dispersed to various places.

The strength of Ye Shusheng and Huangfu Lin has greatly increased.

The total number of Han people in the Oil Peninsula is approaching 350,000.

With this scale, Ye Kun felt relieved. Even if no more immigrants came in the future, a population of this size would multiply quickly.

Within twenty years, it will surely grow to one million people.

In June of that year, Wei Caiqin personally brought two princes and more than 6,000 immigrants to the Oil Peninsula.

This was Wei Caiqin's third immigration to the West Sea Continent.

A total of 8,000 people were sent over in the first two batches.

Ye Kun, Jiang Yourong and others welcomed them at the port.

After more than two years, Wei Caiqin has not changed much. She is still heroic, standing at the bow with a sword and a pistol.

"Caiqin, you are finally here!"

Ye Kun climbed onto the gangplank and personally helped Wei Caiqin off the boat.

"Your Majesty, I finally see you again."

Wei Caiqin burst into tears and looked at Ye Kun intently. Suddenly she smiled and said, "Seeing that the emperor is in good health, I am finally relieved."

Ye Kun nodded repeatedly: "Same here!"

The immigration group is huge.

However, an immigration camp had already been built near the port. It was a closed small town divided into several functional areas and equipped with all necessary facilities.

Ye Kun helped to resettle the immigrants, distribute food, treat the wounded, and hold meetings to comfort everyone and cheer them up.

Song Kui personally led the immigration team this time.

However, Song Kui was very honest and didn't say much.

Jiang Yourong took Wei Caiqin's hand and said with a smile: "Caiqin, are you really going to the West Sea Continent? Otherwise, you can stay here too."

"Sister, I plan to send the children over and then come back to accompany the emperor and everyone."

Wei Caiqin smiled and said, "I still refuse to admit that I am old. I must go to the West Sea Continent to see it myself, and then I will feel comfortable!"

Everyone laughed.

The next day, Ye Kun summoned the two princes and had a detailed discussion in a secret room.

Wei Caiqin has two princes, one is named Ye Huaishan and the other is named Ye Nianshan.

This name was chosen to commemorate their grandfather Wei Dingshan.

In the secret room, Ye Kun said: "Song Kui is deeply rooted in the West Sea Continent and is popular among the people. Not only do his former subordinates listen to him, but also hundreds of thousands of local indigenous people listen to him.

When you brothers go there, you must firmly grasp the military power and the latest guns and ammunition.

After arriving at the West Sea Continent, let Song Kui assist in the handover. Once the handover is completed, let him return home immediately to retire and not stay any longer. "

The two princes nodded repeatedly.

Ye Kun added: "I estimate that if there is no subsequent immigration, it will take at least 20 to 30 years for you to multiply to a population of more than 100,000. This is a long process.

It will take more than a hundred years to completely control the West and South continents."

Ye Huaishan was very surprised and asked, "Does Father mean that we will no longer migrate to the West Sea Continent?"

There are very few Han people in the West Sea Continent.

Song Kui's original subordinates, adults and children combined, numbered less than 10,000.

Wei Caiqin's three immigrations totaled only 20,000 people. It is estimated that of these 20,000 people, about 16,000 will arrive safely on the West Sea Continent and survive normally.

With a population of more than 20,000, the population will not grow too fast due to natural reproduction.

Even if young men are allowed to marry more local concubines and have more children, it will take time.

Facing Ye Huaishan's question, Ye Kun waved his hand and said with a smile:

"As long as I am alive, I will continue to migrate to the West Sea Continent and increase your subjects. But things are unpredictable. If I die and Crown Prince Ye Feng ascends the throne, he will not be able to control the situation, and the large-scale immigration operation will be terminated.

So, you have to prepare for the worst.”

Ye Huaishan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Father is in good health and will live at least a hundred years."

Ye Kun laughed loudly and shook his head, saying, "I don't want to live a hundred years. But three to five years should be no problem. Under normal circumstances, in the next three to five years, I can give you tens of thousands of immigrants every year, and the West Sea Continent can also develop."

Brother Ye Huaishan also asked for advice on how to govern the country.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Developing science and technology is the best way to govern a country. As for the political intrigue, you know it yourself, so I don't need to say more. In addition, there are gold and silver mines with extremely high yields in the West Sea Continent. You need to find the gold and silver mines and use the natives to mine and refine them.

In this way, with more money, more immigrants will come.”

The two princes had a secret conversation with Ye Kun for a long time.

The next day, Ye Kun had another secret conversation with Wei Caiqin, helping her analyze some problems and giving her some advice.

Wei Caiqin and others also rested here for five days before continuing on their journey.

Ye Kun also sent warships to escort them all the way to the west coast of Africa to prevent the immigrants from mutiny on the way.

In the summer, Zhuge Hong sent someone to deliver the work development report of the past two years.

Ye Kun asked the messenger: "There are millions of Chinese people who have immigrated overseas. Is it convenient for these people to contact their relatives in their hometowns by writing letters? For example, for people in the Oil Peninsula, how long will it take for a letter to arrive in their hometown?"

The messenger replied, "Your Majesty, I came here on the imperial cruise ship. The cruise ship is fast and it took me forty days to get here. On the cruise ship are letters written by the people of the nine provinces of China to their relatives overseas, which are distributed to various ports and stations along the way.

I think it only takes fifty days for a letter to be sent from China to here."
