Chapter 415 The promise made in those years.
Ye Kun agreed with Madam Hongyun's opinion and said:
"If Shamoke still refuses to live or die, I will kill him. Even if I turn the Southern Wasteland into a wasteland, it's okay. I can immigrate here from Yizhou."
Ye Kun had thought about this plan to wipe out the entire family.
They have a large army and advanced weapons, and can set fire on a large scale, all the way to the Bay of Bengal.
Spend three years to burn down all the trees on this land, then use a large army to push it down and immigrate hundreds of thousands of Han people here, and you will be able to control this land permanently.
If it were Qin Erwu, he would definitely kill all the men here and rob all the women.
After one or two generations of reproduction, the original history of this land will be erased, and everyone will be Han people!
In ancient times, this could be achieved as long as one had strong military force.
Qin Shihuang conquered the Baiyue and Jiaozhi in much the same way.
The present-day Jiaozhi is the territory of China, and the population is of Chinese descent, and they consider themselves to be of the Chinese nation.
But Ye Kun is not a devil and can't bear to do this.
There is no culture or writing in the Southern Wilderness. Ye Kun can start with writing and language, and subtly integrate the Southern Wilderness into the big Chinese family.
Two days later, Shamoke and his entire clan surrendered.
All the gold, silver, jewelry, rhinoceros horns, ivory and other items buried underground were also brought out and piled up like a mountain.
But there is no household registration book, no household registration management, let alone an ID card.
Shamoke himself didn't know how many people were in his jurisdiction and had to rely on blind guessing.
Ye Kun prepared a banquet to entertain the leaders of the barbarians and said:
"The Chinese nation is a big family, just like all rivers flowing into the sea. You and I are descendants of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang and Chi You, and we shouldn't be fighting like this. Now there is a war that has lasted for several months, with countless casualties, all of which are Shamoke's fault."
Shamoko trembled and bowed his head to admit his mistake.
Ye Kun said again:
"From now on, we will jointly manage the Southern Wilderness area. I will send a large number of technical personnel to help you develop. I will set up Nanyun Prefecture, which will govern nine counties, send governors and county governors, and station troops.
I have conferred upon Shamoke the title of King of the South, a position above the governor, to help him manage the South in coordination with the governor and prefect."
Zhuge Liang conquered the Southern Wilderness, but because he was unable to control it, he returned it to the southerners.
But at this time, Ye Kun had already occupied all the land in Jiangnan, and he was strong and had advanced weapons, so he could completely control the Southern Wilderness.
Take advantage of this opportunity to capture the Southern Wilderness to avoid trouble in the future.
When Shamoke learned that he could be crowned king, he was overjoyed and said, "Don't worry, King Han. I will obey you in everything."
Ye Kun nodded and said:
"The conditions in the south are not good. The children of the leaders of your tribes should all follow me to Yizhou and go to school. When your children become talented, they can come back to build your hometown."
Hold a group of hostages in your hands so that these tribal leaders won’t dare to act rashly!
These young hostages will be sent to Chengdu for education for three to five years, and then released. They will become civilized people and have a deeper sense of identity with China.
Shamoke was the first to speak out: "I have three sons and two daughters. I will send them all to Chengdu to learn farming, weaving, and building bridges and roads."
Although the other tribal leaders were reluctant, they had no choice but to agree.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Don't worry about your children's safety. Chengdu is a prosperous city. They may not want to go home after they go there."
For the next month, Ye Kun was busy arranging the affairs of Southern Wilderness.
Sima Yu was appointed as the governor and prefect of Nanyun Prefecture.
Xue Ju and Wu Xuan, one was the General Pingnan and the other was the General Zhennan, each led an army of 15,000 and stationed in the Southern Wilderness. They collected military rations on the spot or reclaimed the wasteland themselves.
Madam Hongyun's territory was handed over to Wu Xuan and was directly managed by Ye Kun.
Ye Kun transferred another 5,000 professionals and 5,000 craftsmen to various tribes to start work.
Ye Kun selected 20,000 strong young men from the Southern Wilderness and took them back to strengthen the army.
There were also some people living in areas with difficult conditions, and Ye Kun immigrated them to Yizhou.
In addition, intermarriage is encouraged to enhance integration.
It was not until April that Ye Kun returned to Yibin. He then took the children of the major tribes in the Southern Wilderness to Chengdu and inspected the work in Chengdu.
Xie Baochan had already received the news and came to Chengdu early, visiting relatives while waiting for Ye Kun.
Guan Bao and Qin Erwu, who stayed in Chengdu, went out of the city to welcome the emperor.
As soon as they met, Qin Erwu started to complain:
"Brother, you guys are all fighting, but you left me in Chengdu to enjoy life. Look at me, I've gained more than ten pounds!"
"You are allowed to enjoy happiness, but you are still not satisfied?"
Ye Kun smiled and said, "How about this, when I leave Chengdu, I will take you with me."
Qin Erwu has been resting for several years. If he doesn't fight anymore, he will get old.
Ye Kun had to make some arrangements so that he could make a great contribution and then retire.
Qin Erwu became happy and said with a smile: "Brother, when you attack the Central Plains, I will lead the charge for you, capture Xiahou Chang alive, take his head, and avenge Yan Liuhai!"
"Yes, it's time to avenge Yan Liuhai."
Ye Kun nodded and asked, "Liu Hai's wife and children are all in Chengdu. Are they doing well now?"
After Yan Liuhai died, Ye Kun sent someone to send his wife Jia Xiao to Chengdu.
Because this place is the most stable, the richest, with abundant resources and a pleasant climate.
Guan Bao said: "Don't worry, my lord. We have taken good care of Yan Liuhai's family."
Qin Erwu smiled and said, "I visit him often, once every three to five days."
Ye Kun nodded: "Very good, when I have time, we will go to see Liu Hai's children."
Yan Liuhai later took several concubines and had a bunch of children.
My eldest son and daughter are both in school now.
After leaving Chengdu for two years, Ye Kun thought that Chengdu would become a little depressed.
Because the center of power moved away, many institutions also moved away.
But unexpectedly, Chengdu became even more prosperous.
There are many newborns and young children on the streets, all of them are white and chubby.
Guan Bao was conscientious and diligent in his work. He knew all the data about Chengdu and Yizhou by heart and reported to Ye Kun:
"In the past two years, the population of Yizhou, excluding Chongqing, has increased by 260,000, most of whom are newborns. The newly reclaimed land area is 500,000 mu. Taxes and products are both rising steadily."
Ye Kun nodded and asked, "People of Yizhou, can you drink meat soup every now and then? This is what I promised the elders of Yizhou back then."
Guan Bao laughed and said:
"Meat soup is still fine. My lord, just look at the products on the street and you will know. Chicken, duck, fish, meat, eggs and grains are all very cheap in the market. The taverns are also full of customers drinking and chatting. If ordinary people can't drink meat soup, the price of goods will go up."
Prices reflect economic conditions and productivity.
If your productivity keeps up, the price of goods will go down.
If goods are plentiful, food prices will fall.
Guan Bao still understands economics.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Master Guan, tomorrow I will go on a secret visit with Madam Baochan and Madam Hongyun. If we find any problems, I will settle the account with you."
Guan Bao was frank and said with a smile: "My Lord, please make a secret visit. If there is any problem, we can settle it face to face. It is my responsibility, and I plead guilty and accept the punishment."
