The most arrogant in history

After following Ye Kun for so many years, Jiang Yourong, Xie Baochan and others have reached a consensus to try not to seek privileges.

Enjoy privileges and spend your own money to avoid gossip.

Now that they have come to the Yan Emperor Continent to develop, Jiang Yourong and others have also consciously considered themselves as builders rather than just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor.

Zhou Dacang smiled and said, "We still need this little money. We don't need the Queen Mother to give it to us."

"Public and private matters must be clearly distinguished. We must give this money."

Jiang Yourong insisted on his own opinion and asked, "How much did it cost in total? Just tell us and we will give it to you right away."

Ye Kun also smiled and said, "Da Cang, just listen to the advice of the Empress Dowagers. We gave you money, and you can live comfortably."

Zhou Dacang laughed awkwardly: "The construction of the Grand Emperor's Palace cost a total of 40,000 taels of silver."

"And furniture and supporting equipment? Okay, we'll give you 150,000 taels. When we have a meeting tomorrow, hand this money over to the treasury of Fengjiao City."

Jiang Yourong is very generous.

She also knew that even 150,000 taels of silver might not be enough to build such a Grand Imperial Palace in the Yan Emperor Continent.

Because many things were transported from thousands of miles away and were not produced in Yan Emperor Continent.

That night, everyone checked into the Taihuang Palace.

There are several three-story buildings in the Taihuang Palace, and the upstairs are the bedrooms of Jiang Yourong and others.

Because upstairs is cleaner and there are fewer mosquitoes and other insects.

Ye Kun summoned the working and service personnel of the Taihuang Palace for a talk.

These people are all Chinese people. They have been in Fengjiao City for a year and have adapted to the climate and soil here. They also have some understanding of the local conditions.

Ye Kun said: "Everyone, you should all know that the Empress Dowagers are usually very frugal and don't like to waste. In the future, we should still be frugal. In terms of diet, we should also pay attention to light food. There is no need to get those delicacies from the mountains and the sea, ordinary meals will be enough.

But there is one thing, hygiene must be guaranteed. Only by ensuring hygiene can we reduce diseases and maintain health. Only with a healthy body can we better develop the Yan Emperor Continent. "

Everyone nodded together.

Ye Kun then asked the female official in charge of the Imperial Palace: "What is the name of this supervisor?"

The supervisor smiled and said, "Emperor, I am Zhou Dacang's sister, Zhou Damei."

"Haha, it turns out we are all family." Ye Kun laughed:

"The Zhou family has become stronger with each generation. Your grandfather was a big black man who looked like a bandit. He was a bandit himself, and later he followed me."

Zhou Damei smiled and said, "Yes, my father told me about the history of our family. Our whole family is where we are today because of the relationship with the Emperor."

Jiang Yourong asked: "Damei, how many years have you been in Yandi Continent?"

"My lady, it has been three years." Zhou Damei nodded.

"The entire Zhou family immigrated here. At first, they were in charge of the small port town. Later, they followed my brother to the big city of Fengjiao."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Girl, how much do you know about the Yan Emperor Continent?"

Zhou Damei was surprisingly eloquent and said, "Grand Emperor, I know that the area of ​​Yandi Continent is about three times that of China's Nine Provinces. I know that this continent is on the west side of China's Nine Provinces.

We Chinese immigrants now have more than 500,000 people in the Yan Emperor Continent. But they are mainly concentrated on the southern coast of the Mediterranean. The remaining Chinese immigrants are distributed in 33 coastal port towns. We Chinese people have not yet set foot in the depths of the Yan Emperor Continent.

The Emperor came here to completely control the entire Yan Emperor Continent."

Ye Kun laughed: "Damei, it's a pity that you are the supervisor here. With such knowledge, you can definitely become a governor."

Zhou Damei stuck out her tongue and said, "I was just talking nonsense, just showing off."

Jiang Yourong said: "Girl, I like to listen to your nonsense. Do you know what else is there in the Yan Emperor Continent?"

Zhou Damei thought for a moment and then said:

"The Yan Emperor Continent also has the world's largest desert, which occupies one-third of the continent. In our newly compiled geography book, that desert is called the Sahara Desert. To the north of the desert, there are white-skinned people; to the south of the desert, there are black-skinned people...

Because the continent is so large, there are all kinds of climates and terrains.”

Ye Kun, Jiang Yourong and others nodded repeatedly.

At least, Zhou Damei is very familiar with the information!

Ye Kun asked Zhou Damei to sit down and asked, "Damei, what do you think is the biggest difficulty for us to develop Yandi Continent now?"

"It's because there aren't enough people, that is, there are too few Chinese immigrants."

Zhou Damei also relaxed and said, "Around the Yan Emperor Continent, in addition to the Mediterranean region, we also have 33 small port cities responsible for providing supplies to the ships coming and going.

Some of these small port cities only had a few hundred people, so it was difficult for them to develop. They had to guard and maintain the ports, and they had no extra time to develop planting, and their food was all supported by the court.

The natives nearby often harassed the port, and our people could only fire from the top of the city walls to disperse them.

The imperial court should send more troops and immigrants to focus on attacking those populous indigenous tribes, control the land suitable for farming, and build our own granary. With food, we, the descendants of the Chinese nation, can continue to develop here. "

Everyone applauded.

In fact, Ye Kun came here this time in several batches, bringing more than 20,000 troops and immigrants to supplement the various port towns.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Among our thirty-three small port towns, isn't there one that has cultivated land?"

"As far as I know, no."

Zhou Damei shook her head. "The port cities we built are all very small and close to the sea. There is no arable land in the city, so we can only open up some vegetable fields. If we develop outside the city, we will have conflicts with the local indigenous people and have to fight. They have a large number of people. If we kill a few, another group will come."

Ye Kun admired Zhou Damei's opinion and asked, "I came here to control the entire continent. Where do you think we should control first?"

Zhou Damei was a little confused, so she smiled and said, "First, destroy all the largest indigenous tribes near the ports! In this way, the Chinese immigrants can work with peace of mind."

Ye Kun nodded and said with a smile: "In two days, I will take Tan Jingang and Lu Qiangguo to patrol the port and start to crack down on the indigenous forces here."

Zhou Damei nodded and began to arrange the work in an orderly manner.

When going to bed at night, Jiang Yourong said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Damei is a talented person. With her here to take care of us, you can rest assured and go about your own business. Don't worry about us."

Ye Kun said: "I will lead Tan Jingang and Lu Kaijiang to inspect various places. You are in the Taihuang Palace, so don't go out until you get used to the climate and soil."

Jiang Yourong nodded: "We will find something to do ourselves. We can't just sit there doing nothing all the time."

"But what could happen here?"

"We can embroider, make shoes and clothes." Jiang Yourong said with a smile.

"Okay, as long as you're happy."

Ye Kun also nodded and smiled.

The next day, Zhou Dacang convened a meeting of officials in Fengjiao City to report to Ye Kun.

The more than one hundred people who attended the meeting were all senior officials of Fengjiao City.
