The most arrogant in history

Ye Feng had no choice but to call back:

"The total surplus of the imperial court is 270 million taels. Most provinces and prefectures have surpluses, but the specific statistics have not yet been made. The statistics after the end of summer are 130 million taels...

All of the above are silver and copper coins converted from gold and silver, and do not include jewelry, silk, cloth, or other valuables. "

Ye Kun was so angry that he laughed.

With so much money, Ye Feng, this bastard, actually cried poor.

Sure enough, things are different after the family split up. No one is willing to take money out of their pockets!

Ye Kun calmed down for two days and sent Ye Feng an extended telegram:

"Feng'er, there are many kinds of emperors. One is the mighty emperor who expanded the territory and unified the four seas, such as the First Emperor, Emperor Wu, and your father; the other is the ruler who maintains the status quo and pays attention to living in harmony with the people, such as Duke Zhou and Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing.

There are also foolish and tyrannical rulers, and kings who bring about the downfall of their country.

I know that you are not a tyrant, nor will you be a king who destroys your country. However, you cannot be a mighty emperor who unifies the world. At most, you can be a ruler who maintains the status quo like Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing.

I abdicated in time and let you inherit the throne, hoping to continue the global expansion as the emperor. During your term as emperor, take over Africa and the West Sea Continent, as well as other overseas islands.

You are the emperor now. The credit for the empire your father conquered during your reign will be attributed to you by future generations.

In order to ensure that you can sit firmly on the throne and to prevent the royal descendants from killing each other, I sent all your brothers overseas. I ordered them to offer sacrifices to the heavens and swear to be forever loyal to the Chinese court and the royal family. All of this is for you and your descendants.

You own millions of miles of territory and enjoy the support of major overseas fiefdoms. You should be content.

Today, your brothers are fighting outside to expand the territory and spread the branches for China. As the eldest brother and the emperor, shouldn't you give them strong support?

You have used the excuse of financial constraints to be passive and indifferent to my overseas emigration. You are still like this while I am still alive. How will you treat your brothers after I die?

After writing the long letter, Ye Kun felt very disappointed.

Ye Feng is very selfish, but lacks ability and sense of the overall situation.

In the long run, it is not a blessing for the country.

Half a day after the telegram was sent, Ye Feng's confession was received.

Ye Feng said that he burst into tears after reading the telegram, and felt deeply ashamed of his father and his brothers. He would come to Yizhou Island to plead guilty, kneel down and beg his parents for forgiveness, and said that he would immediately allocate 100 million taels of silver from the national treasury to fully support overseas immigration, etc.

Knowing that his father was angry, Ye Feng was also afraid.

His father's prestige is still there, and he can be deposed with just one imperial edict!

Ye Kun called back: "It's not important what you say, what's important is what you do. Give me a five-year immigration plan, and I'll see how you arrange it."

Ye Feng called back immediately: "Within five years, I can complete the task of 300,000 immigrants per year. Even if all these 300,000 people are sent to the West Sea Continent, the court will guarantee that the task will be completed!"

Ye Kun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The imperial court can ensure control of Africa and the West Sea continent by recruiting 300,000 immigrants every year.

When Jiang Yourong learned about the situation, he also wrote a letter to his son, asking him to follow his father's advice and take more care of his brothers overseas.

Ye Feng really did what he said, and soon he arranged a large-scale immigration.

He sent all the children who grew up in orphanages, older unmarried men and women in the community, and corrupt officials and their families from all over the country to Africa.

As for the immigrants who were forced to join the conscription force, they were all from good families, so they were sent to Qiantang Port for training and left to Ye Kun.

On Iju Island, Ye Kun was also preparing for the New Year.

On the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month, a fleet of merchant ships arrived at Yizhou Island.

Yu Lian Chunhua, who was far away on Dasong Island, actually came with the merchant ship.

When Ye Kun heard the news, he was overjoyed and went to greet them personally outside the city.

Chunhua is okay and looks like she is in her fifties.

Yulian's hair is already full of white hair.

"Your Majesty, we are here to accompany you." Chunhua held Ye Kun's hand and said, "We have been apart for seven or eight years, and we miss your Majesty all the time."

"It's been more than eight years. I remember it all."

Ye Kun also pulled Chunhua and Yulian, sighing, "I am sorry for you. I left you on that hot island and never visited you for so many years."

Yu Lian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, we are all fine. We are just worried about your health."

Jiang Yourong's eyes were also filled with tears, and she smiled and said, "My dear sister, I never thought that we would meet again in this life."

Chunhua said, "Sister, we are here and we will not leave. We will always follow the emperor from now on."

Xie Baochan smiled and said, "The former emperor is now the retired emperor. Congratulations to you all, you have both become empress dowagers!"

Everyone was laughing and talking in high spirits.

This Spring Festival on Iju Island is very lively.

In order to make everyone happy, Ye Lesheng spent a lot of money and celebrated together.

Before the Spring Festival, Ye Kun also inspected the ports on the outer islands, expressed his condolences to the garrison troops, and sent them wine, meat, cotton clothes and daily necessities.

Ishu Island is not that cold, but the wind is strong at the seaside, so cotton clothes are essential.

During the Chinese New Year, the leaders of the indigenous tribes all came to pay New Year's greetings to Ye Kun and gave him gifts.

Also brought a dozen original girls!

They are all sixteen or seventeen years old, with slender figures and full of energy.

Ye Kun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked the tribal leaders: "Why did you bring these girls here?"

The tribal leaders said, "Your Majesty, these are the most beautiful girls in our tribe, who can sing and dance. We brought them here specially to present to Your Majesty. They are also willing to stay with Your Majesty and serve you."

Ye Kun waved his hands and said with a smile: "I am old and cannot afford them. But since you have sent them to me, I will accept them. I will find an opportunity to marry them off to young talents among the Han people."

Ten years have passed since Aibo, and there has not been a new person around Ye Kun.

Now when I see these girls, my heart is as calm as still water and peaceful as a well.

The tribal leaders thought Ye Kun was embarrassed and said with a smile: "Anyway, we have given it to the emperor, so you can do whatever you want with it."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Bingbing, take these girls down first and settle them down."

Bingbing might have misunderstood, nodded, and sent all the girls to the Taihuang Palace.

Ye Kun was unaware of this and treated the tribal leaders to drinks.

These leaders have just returned from traveling across China's nine provinces.

Ye Kun asked: "How do you feel about your trip to the Nine Provinces of China this time?"

The leaders clasped their fists and said, "Your Majesty, we were like frogs in a well, sitting in our own tribe and looking at the sky from a well. Before, we didn't even know the whole picture of Yizhou Island, and we thought our territory was very large.

It was only after we visited the nine provinces of China that we realized there was such a big world beyond the sea.”

Another leader said: "We have been to Qiantang Port, Jinling City, Jinmen Port, Zhuojun City, and took a train to Luoyang. From Luoyang, we took a ship and returned to Zhuojun via the Grand Canal. The prosperity and wealth of the nine provinces of China is like heaven to us."

Another leader laughed and said, "We also saw an airplane and a 13-story building in Zhuo County with an elevator."
