The most arrogant in history

Chapter 758 Construction in the mountains.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Kids, do you really say that?"

Qiao Yun and Tian Xiao'e nodded together: "It's absolutely true!"

"I understand." Ye Kun nodded and laughed, and ordered Huang Ye: "Go and get Madam Ma, please come over."

Huang Ye turned around and went to invite Ma Jiaojiao.

Ye Kun also asked the young eunuch to get the "Geographical Atlas of the South Sea Islands" from the imperial study.

This is a collection of atlases compiled by the Nanyang pioneer team over many years. It contains a general map, as well as records of the scenery and climate of the major islands...

Soon, everyone gathered.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Jiaojiao, Qiaoyun, and Xiao'e, you have a good relationship. You hope that the children will be together in the future, right?"

Ma Jiaojiao and others looked at each other and nodded together.

Ye Kun opened the "Geographical Atlas of the Nanyang Islands": "The eastern Nanyang Islands are vast. In addition to Dasong Island, there is another large island to the south, which we will call 'Datang Island'."

The Datang Island that Ye Kun mentioned is actually Mindanao Island.

The area of ​​Mindanao is more than twice that of Izu Island, and even larger than the island of Ceylon.

In terms of area, it is larger than many countries in later generations.

If the population is sufficient, a country can be established here.

Ma Jiaojiao looked at the map and frowned, "What the emperor means is..."

"What I mean is that you can immigrate together, but you don't all have to stay on Dasong Island."

Ye Kun pointed at the map and said, "Between Song Island and Tang Island, there are eight large islands that are big enough to establish a country. I hope Jiaojiao, Qiaoyun, Xiao'e, and Tielan... you all can immigrate there with your princes and completely control the eastern islands of Nanyang. I will personally lead the troops to escort you there and help you build a base."

Ma Jiaojiao was shocked: "We all...emigrate?"

“Yes, there are too few people, so it’s difficult to develop.”

Ye Kun nodded: "Each of you should bring your own relatives and clansmen, as well as old friends and vassals. I will give you some more people, troops, scientific and technological personnel, and medical personnel to help you lay a good foundation."

Jiang Yourong smiled and said, "I know everyone is reluctant to leave, but all good things must come to an end. The princes should have a place to go when they grow up."

Ma Jiaojiao and the others bowed together: "We will follow the emperor's arrangements."

Ye Kun nodded: "I will send another group of navy to Datang Island and other islands to build bases and send supplies over first. In this way, it won't be too hard for everyone to immigrate there."

After seeing off Ma Jiaojiao and others, Ye Kun sent a telegram to Guan Bao overnight.

Let him send out several thousand navy troops and lead a group of foreign sea slaves to go to the eastern islands of the South China Sea to build a base.

Then arrange logistical supplies to transport food, food and vegetable seeds, ironware, various tools, large quantities of mosquito nets, mosquito repellents, gasoline incendiary bombs, etc. to the eastern South Pacific islands.

Steam generators and wireless telegraphs were, of course, also essential.

Relevant technical personnel will go along with the equipment.

The first group of people who landed on the island to build the base worked the hardest.

Ye Kun did not treat people unfairly and increased their salaries and official ranks.

The next day, Ye Kun instructed Wen Axiu to take out a newspaper advertisement to call on passionate men in the country to develop the South Pacific islands.

Within a few days, thousands of college students and technicians signed up, expressing their willingness to immigrate or support the development of Nanyang.

Ye Kun instructed Ye Pingsheng and Ye Dongsheng to arrange step by step to transfer the immigrants to the southeast coast and wait for the opportunity to go to sea.

There are a large number of immigrants this time, about 50,000 people, and the plan is to complete the immigration within one year.

The ninth prince and the tenth prince were both conferred titles of king and overseas prince.

Qiao Yun, Tian Xiao'e, Zhou Tielan and others were all named overseas queen mothers.

This is also a fire line upgrade.

Ye Pingsheng and Ye Dongsheng finally stopped hiding their incompetence and used their talents to the fullest, and all work was carried out in an orderly manner.

Guan Bao called and said that the Zhao brothers had been taken back to Quanzhou Port.

Ye Kun ordered Guan Bao: "Tie the Zhao brothers and the leading criminal to the mast at the bow of the ship, torture them severely, and parade them around various ports as a warning to the public."

Ye Kun will never show mercy to pirates.

Otherwise, there will be even more chaos in the future, which will affect the court's plans and the future development of the Chinese people.

Tintin comes to report on the progress of the Western Railway, as well as the planning and construction of the Eight Gorges of Taihang Mountains.

Ye Kun said: "I just happened to have nothing to do recently, so I wanted to go to Taihang Mountain to have a look."

"Brother, if you go there to inspect now, it will affect our work. Besides, the road construction has just started, and many sections are very dangerous. It's better not to go."

"That's fine, I'll listen to you, Junior Sister." Ye Kun smiled and asked, "Is there any difficulty in building a road in Taihang Mountain?"

"It is difficult to transport food and fodder."

Ding Ding nodded and said, "I plan to discuss with my senior brother and directly spend money to buy food from merchants and ordinary people to reduce our pressure on transporting food."

Taihang Mountains, eight hundred miles.

When the road construction team went into the mountains to work, the first thing they had to do was to ensure food supply.

The imperial court had plenty of food, but it was not easy to deliver it deep into the mountains.

There are also people in the mountains, and they also grow crops.

But that little bit of food cannot support large-scale engineering construction.

Fish, meat and eggs also need to be supplied appropriately.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "The court has plenty of money, so we will allocate more funds to you. Private vendors and ordinary people can provide food, meat, chickens, ducks, fish and shrimp to the construction team. We use the money to buy them, which can also drive the economic development of the Taihang Mountain area."

Ding Ding nodded and had an idea in mind.

Ye Kun added: "We should try to make the best use of the time and tackle some tough problems. For some difficult projects, we can extend the deadline. For example, we opened some quarries at Fenghuang Mountain and leveled the top of the mountain. The quarried slabs can be used for road construction, killing two birds with one stone."

Ding Ding smiled and said, "In other aspects, Senior Brother is definitely better than me. But when it comes to building roads and opening up mountains, Senior Brother may not be as good as me. Don't worry, I know how to do it. As for the court, all you need to do is prepare the money."

Ye Kun shrugged: "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Ye Kun is absolutely confident in his junior sister Ding Ding's professional skills.

The Yunmian Road is so difficult, but wasn’t it also drilled through by Tintin?

Opening the Eight Passes of Taihang is less difficult than the Yun-Mian Highway.

The climate here is more comfortable than that in Yunmian, but it is cold, so you should prepare some cotton clothes and gloves.

Ding Ding added: “Senior Sister Gongsun also sent me a thousand support personnel, mainly medical and health care, agricultural experts, and life guidance.

These 1,000 people will follow our construction team into the Taihang Mountains to guide the people in doing business, guiding agricultural production, popularizing medical and health knowledge, and helping everyone live a good life.”

Ye Kun was delighted: "Your Senior Sister Gongsun is really thoughtful. The people in the mountains have a hard life and they really need our help. I will approve another special fund for you, so that you can help extremely poor families build houses, buy furniture, and open up wasteland."

The Taihang Mountain area did not develop well until the later intelligent industrial era.

Because of inconvenient transportation and because productivity cannot keep up.

Gongsun Erniang's plan was exactly what Ye Kun wanted.

Now that the imperial court has become wealthy, it naturally cannot forget the people living in the mountains.
