The most arrogant in history

Chapter 366 The former master of Jingzhou.

"I know..." Ye Kun smiled awkwardly and said:

"Let's discuss this matter and consult Zhuge Feng, Ma Zhao and others, and then make a rule."

In fact, the Dading Kingdom has regulations in this regard.

Old men are not allowed to marry younger women, and older women are not allowed to marry younger men.

But with endless wars, warlords fighting for power, and order breaking down in these years, who cares?

The imperial power did not extend to the countryside. The imperial court only gave guidance on marriages and funerals among the people, and generally did not interfere. The specific management was still in the hands of the gentry.

Regarding taking concubines, the Da Ding Kingdom never prohibited it and even encouraged it.

In the past ten years or so, wars have been frequent and too many young and strong men have died, resulting in an imbalance in the ratio of men to women, so the case of taking concubines has become very common.

In some civilian families, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines.

Chengdu and Yizhou are now stable and no longer at war. The number of male casualties is very small, and they are all desperately looking for concubines, so naturally there are not enough women.

Wei Caiqin nodded: "I think that when there are not many women, men should be prohibited from taking concubines. If they must take concubines, one wife and one concubine are enough."

Ye Kun chuckled: "Madam is right, it makes sense."

After entering Chongqing City, Ye Kun met Hou Qi and other officials of Chongqing.

After listening to everyone's work reports, Ye Kun expressed satisfaction, and asked Hou Qi to select 100 officials to take up posts in various places in Jingzhou, and to relocate their entire families.

Everyone expressed their confusion and some officials did not want to go.

I finally settled down in Chongqing, far away from the war. Who would want to go to Jingzhou?

It is a place that has been fought on four occasions and is a battleground for military strategists. It is definitely not as safe as Chongqing!

Ye Kun explained: "Most of the officials in Jingzhou are wealthy gentry who cling to each other and are difficult to control. I don't want to kill people, so I have to transfer those Jingzhou nobles to Chongqing and Chengdu to weaken their power. Then I will send my own people from Chengdu and Chongqing to further control Jingzhou. You are all my own people, and I will feel at ease if you do things."

When everyone heard this, they all felt that they were Ye Kun’s confidants and finally stopped resisting.

Ye Kun also assured everyone: "Officials who go to Jingzhou to take up their posts, I promise that after three years, you will be promoted to a higher rank. At that time, if you want to return to Chongqing, I will also agree to it."

Hou Qi smiled and said, "My Lord, do you want me to come over?"

"Ma Zhengyang and Feng Shengzhi are already there. If you go there, it will be difficult to arrange things. So, you should be in charge of Chongqing."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Now that we have taken Jingzhou, Chengdu and Chongqing have become our hinterland, and the military aspect has become unimportant. So I plan to select more than half of the garrison troops in Chongqing and Chengdu and transfer them to Jingzhou to strengthen Jingzhou's strength. I will also move the old, weak, sick and disabled farmers in Jingzhou and Xiangfan to Chongqing so that they can produce with peace of mind."

In the future, when we attack Jiangdong and Central Plains, Jingzhou will be the front line.

Ye Kun needs to adjust the focus, put heavy troops in Jingzhou, and transfer all the soldiers stationed in Jingzhou so that he can completely control the grassroots level of Jingzhou.

Wei Caiqin frowned and said, "It's a long way from Chengdu to Jingzhou, and the immigration project is huge."

"It's not a big project if we go by water. Besides, it can be arranged in batches and completed within a year." Ye Kun looked at Wei Caiqin and said:

"And we have many veterans and civilians who are originally from Changsha and Jingzhou, and they also want to go home."

Upon hearing this, Wei Caiqin suddenly smiled: "Yes, as long as we bring back the old soldiers from Jingzhou and Changsha, as well as the common people, it will be fine! To be honest, I also want to go back and take a look..."

As she spoke, Wei Caiqin's eyes suddenly turned red.

She grew up in Jingzhou, and her youth was spent there.

Her father's grave is still in Changsha.

Ye Kun understood Wei Caiqin's feelings and said with a smile:

"To bring the veterans from Jingzhou and Xiangyang back home, you still need Madam and the eldest son... No, now you are the King of Jingzhou, you still need to step forward and call for action. You are the former lords of Jingzhou, and you have a high prestige in Jingzhou."

Wei Caiqin was very happy and said with a fist: "Brother Ye, don't worry. My brother and I will definitely bring all the veterans of Jingxiang back!"

Ye Kun nodded, and Fei Ge invited King Wei Ning of Jing to come to Chongqing to preside over this huge immigration project.

Ye Kun would not feel at ease unless Jingzhou was made into an ironclad entity.

These old soldiers from Jingxiang, as well as Ye Kun's farming soldiers, have all received ideological education and are organized and disciplined. They can be considered Ye Kun's base.

After Wei Ning arrived, Ye Kun and everyone finalized the immigration details, personally did publicity and mobilization, arranged the general work, and then returned to Chengdu.

We went out to fight last spring, and when we came back, it was already early summer of the following year.

In total, it took more than a year.

His son Ye Feng has grown a lot taller.

The other children also saw growth.

Not long after Ye Kun left last year, Jiang Yourong and Xie Baochan each gave birth to a son.

Jiaonu and Hongyu also gained something.

"Husband, you've become thinner and darker again." Jiang Yourong felt sad and her eyes turned red when she saw Ye Kun.

"Yes, my husband has worked hard for the country and has indeed become much more haggard." Xie Baochan also felt distressed.

"I'm sorry for making everyone worry about me. Thank you for your concern. I'm in good health."

Ye Kun smiled and ordered a family dinner to be arranged for them to reminisce about their farewell.

Put work aside for now.

After dinner, Ye Kun and Jiang Yourong rested together, chatting about some family matters and expressing their longing for each other.

After being gentle and affectionate, Jiang Yourong suddenly sighed and whispered:

"My second sister, Youde, is in poor health. She has been coughing and coughing up blood for the past six months, and she often has a fever. Many doctors have seen Youde, but none of them have been able to cure her..."

Ye Kun was surprised: "No wonder I saw Youde looked unhappy during dinner. There were many people around, so I didn't ask him in detail. Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

"You are fighting outside, and you are in danger of death. How dare we distract you because of such a small matter?"

"Oh, you should have told me."

Ye Kun stood up and sat up, saying, "Madam, let's change our clothes and go see Youde."

Youde did not live in a palace, but in a textile factory.

Jiang Yourong grabbed Ye Kun and said with a smile:

"Don't be so anxious. It will be the same if you visit her tomorrow. This girl has always been in poor health. She has been like this since she was a child. Don't worry too much."

Ye Kun had no choice but to give up and lie down again.

Jiang Yourong said again:

"My eldest brother and his wife are still carrying manure in the vegetable garden. It has been a full year and a half. My husband, my eldest brother, I beg you to let them out. Otherwise, my parents will always be unhappy. Feng'er is grown up now, and sometimes when he asks about my eldest uncle and aunt, I can't tell them that they are carrying manure."

Ye Kun laughed and hugged Jiang Yourong:

"I am sorry, ma'am, but I forgot about it when I was so busy. Tomorrow I will give the order for them to return to the city, and then I will think about what errand to assign to them."

Jiang Yourong thanked him and said with a smile, "Brother and sister-in-law, you have behaved very well now. You didn't dare to bother me for the past six months. You just worked honestly."

"That's good." Ye Kun nodded slightly.

I was thinking about what kind of job I should assign to Jiang Youbao.
