The most arrogant in history

Ayiman was young and playful, so she nodded immediately: "As long as the emperor has time, I have no problem coming to see your big train anytime."

Ye Kun nodded: "Wait for me to find a time."

At the train test site, everything is ready.

Ye Kun took Ayiman onto the train and ordered it to start.

The whistle blew and the train set off.

Ayiman was riding the train and said with a smile, "This is so fun. It would be great if we could build a railway from Zhuojun to Loulan."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Yes, there will be. There will definitely be in the future."

If Ye Kun lives another hundred years and continues to advance scientific and technological development, the train from Zhuojun to Loulan will be almost operational a hundred years later.

The train went around twice, but Ayiman still felt unsatisfied.

"Your Majesty, it's time for us to eat. After dinner, I'll take you to see other places."

"Okay, let's eat first."

Ayiman got off the train reluctantly.

The lunch was also quite sumptuous, and He Tiantian and others were there to keep us company.

During the afternoon visit, He Tiantian brought Ayiman with him, while Ye Kun stayed in the office to check the progress of various projects.

It was dusk when Ye Kun brought Ayiman back to the city.

"The great country of China is truly amazing."

Ayiman was greatly enlightened today and exclaimed: "If I hadn't come to Zhuo County, I would have thought that you were strong in military power. I didn't expect that you are strong in all aspects."

Ye Kun asked: "How does the life of the people compare to Loulan?"

"Your people are also very wealthy, and they have more food to eat. Although we in Loulan are wealthy, we only have a few kinds of food to eat."

"The people of Loulan lack vegetables and fruits, and their bodies lack vitamins, making them prone to scurvy. You should buy more dried vegetables and tea to supplement the nutrition of the people."

"What are vitamins? What is scurvy?"

"This... is a bit complicated." Ye Kun smiled:

"Many of our Chinese soldiers guarding the Great Wall suffered from scurvy because they ate too little vegetables. In the past few years, I ordered the transportation of large quantities of dried vegetables and tea leaves, and the symptom has basically disappeared."

Most of the soldiers stationed in the west were suffering from vitamin deficiency.

There are many case records of scurvy in the history of the Qin and Han dynasties.

Ye Kun knew this, so he issued an order to ensure the supply of vegetables to the soldiers in the northwest, and to produce a large amount of dried vegetables, dried fruits, and tea and ship them over.

Sure enough, after a few months, the scurvy was greatly reduced.

The same goes for naval officers and soldiers, who all have ample supplies of dried vegetables and fruits.

But Ye Kun didn't know that the local people in the Western Regions rarely suffer from scurvy because they drink wine and can supplement vitamins from wine.

"You know so much."

Ayiman nodded and suddenly asked, "By the way, Your Majesty, if you were in charge of Loulan, how would you develop it?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "If I were the Queen of Loulan, I would marry the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and become a family. In this way, the things of the Han Dynasty would also be the things of Loulan. How wonderful it would be."

Ayiman blushed and whispered, "Our Loulan girls don't marry outside the family."

"Then I can also take the Emperor of the Han Dynasty as my husband!"

"I'm afraid the Queen will not agree."

Ayiman smiled and shook her head, "Your Majesty, Loulan is a small country and cannot recruit you. However, Your Majesty is welcome to visit our Loulan. I will definitely entertain Your Majesty, just like you entertain me."

Ye Kun sighed: "I am so busy, I don't know when I will have time to visit you. When I see you again, maybe... you already have a husband, right?"

Ayiman turned his head and looked away, remaining silent.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No. You are the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Even if you are wrong, you are right."

Ayiman turned back and smiled, "I will be back to Loulan in another month. The winter in Zhuo County is very cold, and I am afraid I can't get used to it. I will come to visit the emperor again if I have the chance in the future."

Ye Kun nodded: "Thank you, I hope we can be like friends, never fight in our lives, and be friends forever."

After sending Ayiman to the State Guesthouse, Ye Kun returned to the palace.

Huang Ye said: "Your Majesty, He Kangju came here and asked about those people in Zhulin Zatan..."

"Just lock him up for now and we'll talk about it in a few days."

Ye Kun was very busy and had no time to bother with the Seven Monsters of the Bamboo Forest!

Two days later, it was time to go to court again.

Ye Kun summoned the Loulan Queen Ayiman and the Xiongnu envoy Qiongtuqigu.

In view of the fact that Ayiman had already made public her identity as the queen, Ye Kun treated her with state courtesy and gave her a seat.

"My Lords, Queen Ayiman of Loulan came to visit us and had friendly consultations with us. She put forward some constructive suggestions. I think these suggestions can be used to guide our work in the Western Regions."

Ye Kun looked at everyone and said, "The Western Region is known as Little China, and we are one family. I plan to strengthen exchanges and integration with the Western Region. Provide material and human resources support to the Western Region, vigorously expand wells and canals, provide coal, and protect the ecological environment..."

Everyone had received the news in advance and knew that Ye Kun wanted to fully control the Western Region, so they nodded in unison.

Ye Kun said: "Loulan is willing to be a transit station for us. We need to increase our efforts to transport our food and coal to Loulan. There are not many coal mines in the west, but it is enough to supply Loulan.

We have discovered several coal mines in the desert grasslands. If we start large-scale mining in the future, we can solve the coal problem in the northwest. There are also coal resources in the northwest, and we will mine them when we get them. "

There are also abundant coal resources in the Mongolian grasslands.

Ye Kun had invented the Luoyang shovel long ago, which could be used for prospecting on the prairie. He had already found several coal mines in the southern part of the desert.

In the future, when we control the entire prairie, coal will not be a problem.

Ministers from nine ministries all expressed their support.

Ayiman stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

Ye Kun looked at the Xiongnu envoy again and said, "Qiong Tuqigu, I have discussed with the Queen Mother about the marriage proposal you mentioned, and we have decided to marry Princess Mingzhu to the prairie to make peace with the Xiongnu."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole room was shocked.

Except for Sang Buzhi, Tan Bamao and others, everyone else thought it was true and were shocked.

Tan Bamao cooperated with Ye Kun in acting and shouted, "Your Majesty, please think twice. How can I, a princess of the Han Dynasty, marry the Xiongnu?"

Ye Kun waved his hands and sighed:

"When I defeated Xiao Dequan and Xiahou Chang, I didn't kill them because I wanted to unite them. I have the same idea when dealing with the Xiongnu now, and I want to unite them. By marrying Princess Mingzhu to them, we can avoid the war between China and the Xiongnu, and we can live in harmony from now on.

If we choose war, both the Han Empire and the Xiongnu will suffer hundreds of thousands of casualties, and I cannot bear it."

Huang Jian from the Fuling Corps, a young and energetic man, shouted:

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead an army of 50,000 to wipe out the Xiongnu. Why do you need to send the princess over to marry? This is too shameful!"

"shut up!"

Ye Kun was furious: "The diplomatic relations between two countries should be based on peace. You kill me, I kill you, when will the cycle of revenge end?"

Huang Jian knelt down and kowtowed: "The Xiongnu Chanyu is already over fifty years old, and the princess is only in her teens, Your Majesty..."

"Someone, take Huang Jian away and throw him into the death row!"

Ye Kun was furious. He grabbed the Ruyi on the imperial desk and smashed it down: "Lock him up and hand him over to the Ministry of Justice for conviction!"
