The most arrogant in history

Chapter 796: Radical Strategy.

"Don't mention my personal soldiers. Even if he is my own son, if he breaks the law, I will hold him accountable!"

Ye Kun glared and pointed at Yang the blacksmith: "If you have an apprentice, take your apprentice with you, so as to prevent the gun manufacturing technology from spreading and becoming an unstable factor."

Ultimately, the musket technology could not be blocked.

But Ye Kun tried his best to delay this process.

That night, Ye Kun stayed in this small town to rest.

The next morning, Ye Kun asked the mayor to send a batch of daily necessities to Yao Laosan, while he went to the county town to find the county magistrate to find out the situation.

The county town is also in the mountains, but the conditions are much better.

There are about 5,000 people in the small town, most of whom are engaged in business.

County Magistrate Hu Xuanbao paid a visit to Ye Kun and welcomed Ye Kun and others into the lobby.

The county magistrate, county lieutenant and other officials also came to pay their respects and wait for questions.

Ye Kun was not arrogant. He asked everyone to sit down in the conference room and started asking questions.

The county magistrate, Hu Xuanbao, is also a retired soldier. He used to be a captain in Jiang Laowu’s water army camp and is about thirty-five years old.

And he is also a member of the Mohist Alliance.

Ye Kun reviewed the county's overall report and pondered, "According to the report, the county had an increase of 4,000 newborns last year?"

"Yes, there will be more in the future. Because more and more young people are coming of age and getting married."

Hu Xuanbao nodded: "I was transferred here to be the county magistrate four years ago. In four years, the county has added 11,000 newborns. The current county population is close to 35,000, which is already a populous county.

Because the population has increased, health and education spending has also increased, but income has not increased much."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Yes, the imperial court has been vigorously developing the population for more than ten years, and finally achieved today's results."

Hu Xuanbao clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I have a question. The population is growing faster and faster, and there will definitely be a shortage of arable land in the future. Can the court feed hundreds of millions of people?"

"With sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes, China can support two or three hundred million people. It's fine."

Ye Kun smiled: "We have taken over the entire Jiaozhi Peninsula and Tianzhu Peninsula. There is a lot of arable land there, which can be harvested three times a year, but no one is farming. If the domestic population is too large, we can migrate to Jiaozhi and Tianzhu.

Also, as our technology develops, food production will increase further.”

Hu Xuanbao nodded slightly.

After the meeting, Ye Kun inspected the hospital and school.

The conditions in the mountains are still poor. The schools and hospitals are a world apart from those in Zhuo County.

Before leaving, Ye Kun said: "When I return, I will convene a meeting of nine ministries to further support the mountainous areas with poor conditions. Taxes will be greatly reduced. Road construction and industrial support will also be intensified."

Hu Xuanbao clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty is wholeheartedly devoted to the people, and his achievements surpass those of Yao and Shun!"

Ye Kun shook his head, smiled, and waved goodbye.

It was September 20th when we returned to Zhuo County.

It took a month to go back and forth.

Ye Kun called on the ministers who stayed behind from the nine ministries, as well as Zhuge Hong, to discuss the issue of poverty alleviation in the mountainous areas.

Zhuge Hong said: "The conditions in the mountainous areas were acceptable ten years ago, but now there are too many newborns and insufficient resources, so there has been a decline. The situation in the Taihang Mountains is like this, and other mountainous areas are probably similar. We can reduce the tax rate and provide subsidies to families in need."

Ye Kun nodded: "That's what I mean. How about reducing the tax burden in poor mountainous areas by half, to one-tenth of the tax burden?"

Zhuge Hong clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty is merciful. The tax rate is one tenth, which is already the lowest in history."

"That may not be the case. During Emperor Wen's time, the tax rate was still 1 in 30."

"During Emperor Wen's reign, the tax rate was one in thirty, but there was a head tax and other miscellaneous taxes, which we don't have."

Zhuge Hong smiled and said, "I have another suggestion for your consideration, Your Majesty."

Ye Kun nodded.

Zhuge Hong said: "There are many families with many children, and the burden is heavy. Therefore, children are not valued, especially girls. I suggest that the court set up 'foster homes' in various places to adopt those girls.

You can give their parents some money, and then the children will have nothing to do with their parents. When these children grow up, they will be sent to immigrate overseas. "

Ye Kun was stunned: "So you bought it in the name of the court?"

"That's about right."

Zhuge Hong sighed: "Families with many children are unable to raise them. The court is emigrating abroad just because they need people. This is a helpless move, but it also kills two birds with one stone.

There are also 13 or 14-year-old children who can be recruited into the preparatory camp. After one or two years of training and learning, they can emigrate abroad. The overseas area is too large. If the emperor wants to complete his hegemony for thousands of years and realize the plan of Chinese children occupying the world, this is the only way. "

Ye Kun was stunned and speechless for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Hong's strategy was so radical.

He Tiantian whispered, "I think this method is feasible, but it costs money. I'm afraid Sang Buyi and others won't agree to such a big move."

At this moment, Sang Buyi sent a telegram from India.

Ye Kun took the telegram, glanced at it, and then burst into laughter.

Zhuge Hong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, is there any good news?"

"Yes, that's good news."

Ye Kun showed the telegram: "Sang Buyi said that the land in Jiaozhi and Tianzhu is fertile, with three crops a year, which can feed hundreds of millions of people. This is the land given by God to the children of China, and we must not give it up.

He and the members of the inspection team inspected more than a dozen large farms and felt that they had wronged me before. They expressed their support for continued immigration and to completely digest the Tianzhu Continent!"

Everyone was also surprised when they read the telegram.

This time, Sang Buzhi and nine ministers, with a large inspection team, personally inspected the Tianzhu continent and were full of admiration for Ye Kun.

At this time, the entire Indian Peninsula was under the control of China.

All cities and farms are China's wealth.

All the landmark boundary signs have been replaced with Chinese characters.

The South India section has been in operation for nearly a decade and looks no different from the domestic area.

The total number of Han immigrants in the Indian continent, including the garrison, is close to one million.

Wherever I went, I saw Chinese faces and heard Chinese.

There are also many factories where workers of different ethnic groups are working and making a steady contribution.

The early Chinese immigrants, whether they were civilians or criminals, have now become farmers, managing hundreds of acres of fertile land and unpaid foreign laborers. They can be said to be living a godly life.

There are also millions of acres of fertile land in the Jiaozhi Delta and the golden waves of rice that leave Sang Buzhi and others dumbfounded.

The cultivated land area of ​​several large plains in the nine provinces of China, added together, is not as large as that of the Indian Peninsula.

With such natural conditions, who wouldn’t be jealous?

He Tiantian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, since Lord Sang Buyi and the nine ministers agree with your Majesty, there is no problem. We can further increase immigration efforts and speed up expansion."

"No hurry, let's wait and see if Sang Buyi and the others can help."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Tiantian, this time it's all your credit. If it weren't for your suggestion to let Sang Buyi and others go out for a walk, they wouldn't have changed like this."

People need to go out and see the world, otherwise they will be sitting in a well and looking at the sky, and they will be arrogant all their lives. "
