The most arrogant in history

"Fifty days, that's still a little long."

Ye Kun smiled bitterly.

One-way communication to the Oil Peninsula takes fifty days.

If I write a letter to the West Sea Continent, wouldn't it take a year to go back and forth?

But for now, Ye Kun has no better solution.

Wireless telegraphy was available everywhere, but it was not available to ordinary people.

If it is opened, it will cost money, and ordinary people won't be able to afford it.

Calming down, Ye Kun went to read the report sent by Zhuge Hong.

The report is very long and includes reports on various aspects.

Ye Kun watched it for a whole day.

In terms of domestic production, there has been good development, with a large amount of newly reclaimed land, a large number of newly built small water conservancy projects, and grain production has also greatly increased.

This also led to the continued low prices of grain, and the prices of alcoholic beverages and by-products made from grain were also very low. The surplus grain was used in animal husbandry, so the prices of meat and eggs were also very low.

The living standards of the Chinese people have also steadily improved.

However, the price of silk remains high.

Because Chinese people prefer silk and even have an obsession with silk!

Nowadays, many country people also wear silk.

Slightly wealthier families would wear silk when they went out to meet guests or go to the market.

However, the cotton planting area that Ye Kun spent a lot of effort to introduce has actually shrunk in the past two years!

Ye Kun was very keenly aware of something wrong, and in response to this phenomenon, he reminded Crown Prince Ye Feng and Zhuge Hong:

"Beware of the high price of silk, as the people destroy their grain to plant mulberry trees. Anyone found destroying grain to plant mulberry trees will be severely punished and ordered to restore the farmland to its original state. Food is the top priority. Without food, these 100 million people will rebel!"

Ye Kun also gave instructions on matters such as education, medical care, and transportation.

Ye Kun once again issued a strict order: "Education, medical care, transportation, banking, and urban real estate development must be firmly controlled by the court and must not be transferred to the private sector.

Railway transportation, canal transportation, and sea transportation are particularly important. They are the most important sources of tax revenue for the court. We must ensure that they are clean and that the system is functioning properly. "

In recent years, canals, railways and shipping have been the bulk of the court's tax revenue.

The taxes paid by ordinary people actually account for a very small proportion, which can be described as just a few melons and two dates.

Relying on the taxes paid by the people, China can only maintain a closed Kyushu.

However, China today is experiencing a frenzy of immigration, and the amount of money spent every day is an astonishing figure!

Prince Ye Feng called back and said that everything was under control and asked his father not to worry.

In August, Prince Ye Tai, Jiang Yourong's youngest son, arrived at the Oil Peninsula.

In fact, last spring, Ye Tai set out from Tianjin Port in China and conducted inspections along the coast, passing Qiongzhou Island, Jiaozhi, Yunmian, and Tianzhu. He walked around and had a look, and only then did he arrive at the Oil Peninsula.

This was also Ye Kun's intention, to let him come out and travel around and broaden his horizons.

Jiang Yourong was naturally happy to see her son.

Ye Kun was also happy. He looked at Ye Tai and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for two years. Your son has become much darker. But he looks more manly now."

"Thank you for the compliment, Father."

Ye Tai smiled and said, "Son, come here to serve your father and mother."

Ye Kun smiled and nodded.

Two days later, Ye Kun called Jiang Yourong and chatted with Ye Tai.

Ye Kun said: "Your mother and I are the emperor and empress, so we naturally have no shortage of people to serve us. I let you go out for a walk because I hope that you can cooperate with your eldest brother Ye Feng to control the world when you are overseas in the future."

The territory is too big now.

Even if Ye Kun continued to live, it would be difficult to guarantee that there would be no warlords fighting for power or ambitious people rebelling in the future.

However, Ye Kun hopes to permanently incorporate Jiaozhi and Tianzhu Continent into the territory of China and integrate them into one solid entity!

As for other places that have been divided up, they can be independent in the future as long as they are guaranteed to be Han regimes.

By letting Ye Tai come out, Ye Kun meant to let him stay in Tianzhu and form a pincer attack with Ye Feng to support each other.

Unexpectedly, Ye Tai smiled and said, "Father, I have no intention of fame and fortune, nor do I want to be a king overseas. I just want to be free and unrestrained, walk around and see a little. If Father insists that I stay in Tianzhu Continent, I will obey your command.

However, I can only work in Tianzhu for ten years, and I will do my best to build and develop the Tianzhu continent.

Ten years later, the eldest prince's son will be able to take charge of his own affairs. Let the eldest prince send his son to control Tianzhu."

Ye Kun was a little surprised: "You don't want to be the overseas king?"

"I don't want to." Ye Tai was decisive.

Ye Kun frowned: "You are also a talent for governing a country, why are you unwilling to display your talents and make achievements?"

"Father, our royal family is full of talented people, and we don't need me." Ye Tai smiled and said:

"Your grandson has grown up. It is more appropriate to let your grandson rule India."

Ye Kun sighed: "Then it's up to you. I will discuss it with your eldest brother and ask him what he thinks."

It would actually be better to let Ye Feng's son come to Tianzhu.

Because he would be more obedient, which would facilitate Ye Feng's future rule over Tianzhu.

Ye Tai's nonchalant attitude makes it impossible for even his elder brother Ye Feng to do anything about him.

Jiang Yourong also frowned and said, "Tai'er, you don't have any fiefdoms, how will your children and grandchildren establish themselves in the future?"

Ye Tai smiled and said, "Since my mother said so, just give me a piece of land. It doesn't have to be too big. If it's too big, I can't manage it."

"In that case, you'd better not ask for the fiefdom."

Ye Kun was annoyed and glared, "Since we have a fiefdom, we must develop it well. Otherwise, we will definitely be destroyed by others in the future! If the fiefdom is too small and cannot be developed, it will be a dead end."

Ye Tai smiled and said, "Then I don't want the fiefdom, as long as I have food to eat."

"Okay, go down and eat!"

Ye Kun waved his hands depressedly!

This son is like a hopeless case.

Ye Tai was polite and bowed before leaving.

Jiang Yourong smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Tai'er has been like this since he was a child. He is very smart, but he has no ambition. I will have a good talk with him when I have time."

Ye Kun sighed, "Forget it, Madam, just let him be. Forcing a cow to drink water is not a good idea."

Jiang Yourong nodded slightly, but was worried.

He was worried that there would be a rift between Ye Kun and his son.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Jiang Yourong brought his son Ye Tai to see Ye Kun again and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your son has thought it through and is willing to share your worries."

Ye Kun laughed: "I have no worries. I don't need my son to share my worries. On the contrary, everything I do is for the sake of my children and grandchildren."

We should be thankful if our children and grandchildren don’t cause us any trouble.

Ye Kun never expected his children and grandchildren to share his worries!

Ye Tai smiled and said, "Father, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me and give me another chance."

Ye Kun sighed and asked, "Tell me, what kind of opportunity do you want?"

Ye Tai said solemnly: "I am willing to go to Tianzhu, take charge of all the work, and assist my elder brother to completely integrate Tianzhu and Jiaozhi into China and make them an iron plate!"
