Chapter 835 The Queen’s Promise.
More than 10,000 people immigrating to Xihua Island can ensure the continuation of civilization and bloodline.
Because these more than 10,000 people are not savages, but civilized people.
They carried food and vegetable seeds, advanced tools, and various technologies in a planned manner. They were organized and disciplined, so establishing a country was not a problem.
The indigenous inhabitants of the island are just free laborers and pose no threat.
Xiao Dequan was overjoyed, stood up to express his gratitude, and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, these people are enough for me for now. But if we want Xihua Island to develop rapidly, this number of people is far from enough... At least, I need a group of craftsmen, technicians, and medical personnel."
Xiao Ruliu also actively fought for it: "Your Majesty, our prince is still young. Without enough scientific and technological personnel, medical personnel, and craftsmen in various industries, I am afraid he will not be able to survive there."
Ye Kun nodded: "That's no problem. I'll give you another group of craftsmen and technical medical personnel."
Xiao Dequan smiled and said, "In that case, I am willing to go overseas and expand the territory for China. As long as the personnel and arrangements are in place, I can set off immediately."
"This time the scale is relatively large, you should divide it into two groups to ensure the safety of the immigrants."
Ye Kun made a plan for Xiao Dequan: "I appoint you as the Governor of Immigration of Xihua Island, and you will be in contact with the Immigration Bureau. You can discuss the specific plan with Guan Bao."
Guan Bao is now in charge of national maritime affairs and also responsible for immigration.
Xiao Dequan asked again: "Then will Princess Liu's prince also go with me?"
"You'll have to ask Concubine Liu about this."
Ye Kun turned his head to look at Xiao Ruliu and sighed, "The child is only in his teens. I wonder if Concubine Liu will be at ease if he immigrates there now."
The eldest prince born to Xiao Ruliu is twelve or thirteen years old, a young boy.
Ye Kun felt reluctant and hoped to wait a few more years.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ruliu said straightforwardly: "Your Majesty, the children have to go out and explore the world. It is better to go out early than late. The sooner they go, the sooner they can adapt to the environment."
Ye Kun frowned slightly: "If this is the case, will you complain about me?"
"I will never complain." Xiao Ruliu stood up and saluted: "If the emperor thinks the children are too young and is worried that they will suffer, you can give them more immigrants and give them more care."
"Okay, let King Wu send people to build Xihua Island first and establish a base."
Ye Kun finally nodded: "I will go to the Oil Peninsula soon and accompany Concubine Liu and the two princes. When we arrive at the Oil Peninsula, I will send troops to send Concubine Liu and the two princes to Xihua Island."
Xiao Ruliu was surprised and happy, but pretended to be reluctant to leave: "Your Majesty, I want to stay by your side and take care of you..."
In fact, Xiao Ruliu also wanted to go to Xihua Island and become the old queen.
In the palace, she was oppressed by Jiang Yourong, Xie Baochan and others, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
"Taking good care of the children is the most important thing."
Ye Kun held Xiao Ruliu's hand and said, "I'm relieved that you can stay with the child on Xihua Island. At the same time, you can also help King Wu and build the island. When I have built the Oil Peninsula, I will go to see you and the child."
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Ruliu burst into tears.
Prince Ye Feng understood the situation and withdrew.
Early the next morning, Xiao Dequan began to arrange immigration matters, negotiate with the nine ministries, and take care of various links.
Ye Kun ignored him and continued to govern the country.
Queen Ayiman of Loulan came to see Ye Kun.
Ye Kun suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I was planning to go to the Queen's Palace tonight to talk to you."
"Your Majesty is so busy with his great cause that I'm afraid he has forgotten the agreement between us, right?"
Ayiman sighed softly.
"No, I haven't forgotten..." Ye Kun broke out in a cold sweat and smiled awkwardly, "I'm arranging the matter you mentioned."
Two years ago, Ye Kun promised Ayiman that he would accompany her to visit her relatives in her hometown of Loulan.
But it has never been fulfilled.
Now, Ye Kun is going to the Oil Peninsula. He may not come back for three to five years, so his trip to Loulan will be ruined.
Ayiman smiled bitterly: "The emperor is very busy and plans to go to the Oil Peninsula. I don't know when he will come back. Our little prince is growing up, how should we arrange it?"
"I'm sorry, I failed you."
Ye Kun felt guilty and held Ayiman's hand: "Tomorrow when I go to court, I will announce that our little prince will be the king of Loulan. Loulan is also the only inland kingdom of our Huaxia country, a kingdom within a kingdom.
I will continue to postpone the trip to the Oil Peninsula and accompany you to visit relatives in the ancient city of Loulan first to fulfill my promise to you. "
What you promised to others, you must do.
Especially when it comes to promises to women.
Otherwise, the woman will hate you for the rest of her life!
Ayiman was overjoyed and threw herself into Ye Kun's arms: "As long as the emperor accompanies me to visit Loulan, I will die without regrets."
"Nonsense, how could he die?"
Ye Kun stroked Ayiman's long hair and said, "Don't worry, I will arrange a trip to Loulan right away. It just so happens that we can also go and see the Western Region Railway under construction."
Ayiman nodded. "I asked Lord Ding a few days ago. It only takes twelve days to get to Loulan in the Western Regions. Lord Ding also said that when the Western Region Railway is fully connected, it will only take ten days to get to Loulan in the Western Regions."
Lord Ding refers to Ding Ding.
Ye Kun nodded: "My Junior Sister Ding is an amazing person."
Since Ye Qingyang stepped down and Ding Ding took office, Jiuzhou road construction has entered a period of rapid development.
In just a few short years, Ding Ding built more than 3,000 miles of railways, opened the Eight Passes of Taihang Mountains, opened up the Yangtze-Huaihe Canal, and built 6,000 miles of national highways and more than 10,000 miles of provincial and county roads.
Rural roads have also improved greatly and are now connected in all directions.
There are even some villages that have built stone roads, and some demonstration villages that have paved cement roads.
The greatest projects were the Western Railway and the Western Region Railway.
The Western Railway connected Luoyang and Chang'an, two ancient capitals, and realized two-day transportation.
The Western Region Railway is still under construction, and it is planned to pass through the Hexi Corridor and continue to advance into the Western Region.
The current Western Region Railway has three sections opened, each 400 miles long, which has greatly facilitated transportation on the western line.
The Western Railway at that time was built with collective funds, and a joint-stock company was established.
The company's accounts are also clear and it has already achieved profitability. In another five years, it will be able to recover all investment costs and enter the big money-making stage.
Ayiman smiled and said, "Ms. Ding is indeed a rare talent. It is rare for a woman to have such ability."
Ye Kun was proud: "All of our Mohist disciples are talented and speak well."
"What do you mean by nice words?" Ayiman was puzzled.
"It's meaningless, it just sounds nice."
Ye Kun laughed and took Ayiman's hand: "Let's go, let's go to Ding Ding's Ministry of Transportation office building and talk to her."
Ayiman was very happy and got on the two-seater rickshaw with Ye Kun.
The Ministry of Transport office building is newly built.
The previous office building of the Ministry of Transport was too small and could no longer keep up with development.
