The most arrogant in history

Jiang Yourong nodded and said:

"Yes, it has been three years since Sister Caiqin went to the West Sea Continent. I don't know how she is doing now. I heard that when she first went there, she got seriously ill due to not being able to adapt to the local climate..."

It has indeed been three years since Wei Caiqin went to the West Sea Continent.

"She was ill, but she recovered with secret medicine." Ye Kun said with a smile:

"A few days ago, I received a telegram from the West Sea Continent. Caiqin is doing very well there. The Chinese people have built twelve small cities in the West Sea Continent and are beginning to develop rapidly."

In recent years, the total number of immigrants to the West Sea Continent has approached 100,000.

Including the original Chinese people, there are about 120,000 to 130,000 people.

This scale can ensure that the Chinese people can gain a foothold there, develop further and become the boss.

But it will be a long process.

Wei Caiqin wanted more immigrants, but the court’s financial resources were gradually unable to support it.

It’s too far and the expense is too high!

Ye Kun instructed Wei Caiqin to find the gold and silver mines in the Gangdise Mountains as soon as possible, and then mine and refine the gold and silver, exchanging gold and silver for immigrants, so as to achieve rapid development!

Ye Kun knew that the gold and silver mines in the West Sea Continent were of extremely high quality.

It is not an exaggeration to call it a silver mountain.

Wei Caiqin also sent out several prospecting teams based on Ye Kun's suggestion to begin investigation and have found some gold veins.

Bingbing said, "The emperor is going to Africa, probably because he misses Sister Caiqin. I heard that it only takes a dozen days to cross the Atlantic Ocean now."

Ye Kun nodded: "With further development of ship technology, crossing the Atlantic Ocean will be completed within ten days."

In later generations, it would take about seven days for a cruise ship to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

A fast cruise only takes four or five days.

Wei Caiqin has done a test and the fastest speed now is twelve days.

Ye Kun also made a request to the Science and Technology City and the shipyard to shorten the time for crossing the Atlantic to ten days.

Because at sea, the shorter the sailing time, the safer it is.

Since Jiang Yourong and others all supported Ye Kun's going to Africa, it was difficult for others to dissuade him.

Ye Feng was very conflicted. While he was struggling, he was arranging for his father to go to Africa.

When I go out to sea, my son must do his best to ensure my safety 100%.

So this time, the immigration personnel were carefully selected.

Ye Kun wrote another article and promoted it extensively through radio broadcasts.

The general idea is that, as an old man, I am willing to go to Africa again to fight for the future of the Chinese people, until I die. I call on the young people from all over China to follow me, to open up a new world, and to move towards the stars and the sea!

The promotional material was very sensational and caused another shock.

Young people from all over China signed up, expressing their willingness to follow the emperor and expand territory for the country!

When the Chinese people who have immigrated to Africa heard the news, they were also full of energy and ambition!

Even immigrants from other regions were motivated and started another round of large-scale construction and expansion.

Ye Feng and Zhuge Hong then realized that Ye Kun still had some influence, and they admired him very much.

It just so happened that the wireless telephone base on Yizhou Island had been built, and communications with Zhuo County could be established.

It is called a wireless phone, but in fact, it is two wireless broadcast transmitters and two wireless broadcast receivers.

Ye Kun's speech was transmitted to Zhuo County through the transmitter.

The situation in Zhuo County is the same.

On the phone, Ye Feng said: "Father, you are a man of great talent and strategy, you are deeply loved by the people, and you are admired by the world. I am not even a fraction of you!"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I treat people with sincerity, and they will naturally treat me with sincerity. I led the way and went to Africa in person, so naturally the other immigrants had nothing to say.

This immigration is not small in scale. You need to provide good supplies and logistical support. As for the financial problem, I believe you can solve it. If you really can't solve it, I will find another way for you."

Now, the overseas raids are over.

The wealth looted was also transferred to the people through various means.

Of course, it was also because the imperial court spent too much money on immigration.

The gap between the rich and the poor among the people is getting bigger and bigger.

There are more and more capitalists, and the sprouts of capital have already taken shape.

Ye Kun felt that it was time to blackmail the capitalists.

Ye Feng is preparing.

Ye Kun was also preparing. He did not sleep in every day. He got up in the morning, ran three kilometers, and went to the training ground to practice shooting, throwing bombs, and practicing machine gun and rocket launcher shooting.

Or he could lead the troops himself and give lessons to lower-ranking generals.

Talk to the new recruits, strengthen grassroots construction, and consolidate everyone's awareness.

Seeing Ye Kun working so hard, the soldiers dared not to be lazy, discipline was strict, and the morale of the soldiers was boosted.

Xiao Dequan was still alive. He was very happy to learn that Ye Kun was going to Africa and sent a telegram:

"The Emperor is coming to the African continent. I am on the Great Island of Xihua. It is very close and we only need to cross the strait to get there. At that time, I will bring Concubine Liu and the princes to pay homage to the Emperor!"

Ye Kun called back to express his gratitude and said:

"Xihua Island is the largest island in Africa, with an area ten times that of Yizhou Island. Now that you have gone there, you must take root there, build the island well, and demonstrate the wisdom and hardworking spirit of our descendants of Yan and Huang!

After I go to Africa, if there is a chance, we can meet and discuss in detail. Maybe, I will also go to Xihua Island in person to see the results of your construction. "

In fact, Ye Kun had no plan to go to Xihua Island.

This is said to scare Xiao Dequan.

Otherwise he would end up like Yan Zixiao, dreaming of becoming the emperor of Xihua Island!

What Xihua Island looks like over the years depends entirely on Xiao Dequan's description.

The imperial court didn't even send officials to inspect Xihua Island!

Ye Kun had a prejudice against that place because in later generations, it was also one of the least developed areas.

That geographical location is not important to China.

A combination of various reasons led to Ye Kun's disregard for Xihua Island.

In recent years, more than 30,000 immigrants have been given to Xihua Island. That was also due to Xiao Dequan's earnest request, and it was also for Xiao Ruliu's sake.

Xiao Dequan called back again, and cried poor again:

"Your Majesty cares about me, and I am grateful. But my health is getting worse and worse, and I am afraid I will not live long. On Xihua Island, there are less than 50,000 Han people, and it is difficult for them to survive. I beg Your Majesty to give us some more immigrants to strengthen the power of the Chinese people here..."

Ye Kun called back and said, "In the past two years, the focus of foreign immigration has been on Africa. I have also abdicated, and I am afraid that I cannot meet your needs. You can submit a petition to the court and ask the court to arrange immigration. The court treats all kings in overseas places equally. If conditions permit, they will definitely allow you to immigrate."

These words are also true.

Africa is too large, and even if we concentrate our efforts on immigration to Africa, there are only about 200,000 people each year.

If there were any more, the imperial court’s finances would not be able to bear it.

So, there are really no extra immigrants to send to Madagascar!

Xiao Ruliu also sent a telegram, saying that she missed the emperor, and then she cried and complained that the conditions on Xihua Island were too poor, and her son would have a hard time developing here, and that this lineage might be cut off forever, etc...
