Chapter 721 Conquering Dayuan.
Chapter 721 Conquering Dayuan.
Ma Zhao replied: "In silver, it is about 1,700 taels."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "These 1,700 taels are enough for her to live on in her old age. She can't finish them all."
Ma Zhao nodded and asked again: "He Kangju, how should we deal with it? He Kangju did nothing wrong, He Quan is the culprit."
Ye Kun pondered and said, "He Kangju said last time that he was willing to take the people involved in the case to exile in Tianzhu. How about this, He Kangju will be demoted and sent to Tianzhu to assist Liu Ai in his work.
All the other people involved in the case, except He Quan and his wife, immigrated to Tianzhu. The whole family, young and old, immigrated together. "
Ma Zhao hesitated and said, "But the laws of the Han Dynasty have abolished collective responsibility and advocated that everyone should be held responsible for their own actions. If a corrupt official commits a crime, his entire family will be emigrated, and the people in the underground are quite resentful."
"That's it." Ye Kun smiled.
"The punishment for corrupt officials will be heavier, such as beheading and seizure of property. Their parents and children can plead for mercy, and if they are willing to immigrate with their entire family, they will not be killed."
For overseas immigration, there must be compulsory measures, otherwise it cannot be accomplished.
Ma Zhao nodded, indicating that it was feasible.
As they were talking, He Kangju came to ask for a meeting.
Ye Kun let him in.
He Kangju bowed and said, "Your Majesty, gentlemen, I have contacted the clan members these days and persuaded a group of people to immigrate to India with me to atone for my sins. I only hope that my son and daughter-in-law can be spared."
Ye Kun nodded and said, "I have already agreed. I will not kill anyone and allow He Quan and his wife to stay in the Central Plains and become wealthy. You can emigrate with your people without any worries. When you go to Tianzhu, you will still be a first-rank minister and assist Liu Ai and others in their work.
All the people you bring with you who are useful can be employed on the spot.
Don't worry, immigrating to India is not exile, the conditions are not that bad. Maybe it will be more comfortable than staying in China."
Sang Buyi also said: "Your Majesty is not lying. Look at the immigrants who went overseas. They are all very comfortable. Even the common people who immigrated to Jiaozhou in the early days are now farmers, with thousands of acres of fertile land, a group of servants, and a lot of children."
In fact, Sang Buyi was not wrong.
Those who have immigrated to other places, such as Yu Guinong, Yan Ju, and Xiao Dequan, which one of them is not free and easy?
At the beginning, He Kangju promised Ye Kun that he and his entire family would immigrate to Fusang and become the King of Fusang.
But later, He Kangju changed his mind again.
Yan Ju understood the truth that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, so he took the initiative to ask to go to Fuso Changdao. He immigrated more than 20,000 members of his family. Now he is the king of Donghua Changdao and a local lord. He lives a more comfortable life than a god!
He Kangju clasped his fists and said, "I have counted and found that there are about 10,000 descendants of the He family in the Central Plains who have immigrated with me. In order to repay the emperor for not killing me, I will do my best to expand the territory for the court until my death."
Ye Kun nodded: "Since it has been decided, you can arrange for immigration in batches. If you need anything or there are any inconveniences, please ask the Ninth Department to handle it.
In two years, I will go to Tianzhu to see you. Maybe I will live in Tianzhu permanently in the future."
He Kangju bowed and left.
Sang Buyi laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you must be joking. How come you live in Tianzhu all the time?"
"I will land on all overseas territories and declare sovereignty."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "I have never been to Fuso Island and Izu Island. I will take time to visit them in the future. I also want to go to Tianzhu Continent, and even go to the Mediterranean in person to conquer the ancient Roman Empire!"
Ma Zhao frowned: "Your Majesty is worth a fortune, how can you travel everywhere?"
"Ten years later, I will abdicate and let Crown Prince Ye Feng take over."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "At that time, I will be free and can go wherever I want."
Everyone looked at each other.
Ye Kun waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the construction of the new Jinmen City and Chemical City..."
The plan of Tianjin City is not very large.
The Chemical City is also built in phases.
So the proposal was quickly passed and handed over to the planning department for survey and planning.
In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is over.
Good news kept coming in from all directions.
Cheng Yulong of the Fuling Corps has already taken control of the entire territory of Dayuan.
Ye Kun ordered his stepson Huang Jingzu and godson Shangguan Lin to each lead 20,000 troops, craftsmen and technicians to rush to Dayuan to expand the Chinese nation.
Ma Zhao's daughter also went overseas with Shangguan Lin.
Shangguan Lin was named King of Dayuan by Ye Kun, and Ma Zhao's daughter was named Queen of Dayuan.
Shangguan Jifu's widow, Shangguan Lin's mother, also immigrated.
From then on, Dayuan completely became a vassal state of China.
Before leaving, Shangguan Lin kowtowed to Ye Kun and said, "Your Majesty, I am going to travel thousands of miles. I don't know if I will have the chance to kowtow to Your Majesty again in the future."
"Silly boy, what are you talking about?"
Ye Kun helped Shangguan Lin up and said with a smile: "In the future, with advanced technology and better transportation, it will be easy to meet. When you go to Dayuan, first control the best land, use the foreign population, develop production, and gain a firm foothold. I will give you all the support you need."
The Shangguan family also has a group of retainers.
Ye Kun felt that Shangguan Lin could occupy Dayuan with his help.
Shangguan Lin wept: "Your Majesty and Empress, please take care of yourselves. I will kowtow to you again when we meet next time."
Crown Princess Shangguan Hui, Shangguan Lin's younger sister, also bid farewell to her mother and elder brother in tears.
"Everyone should stop being sad and be happy. Because Lin'er has grown up and will be the ruler of a country in the future. With the territory, the Shangguan family will become more and more prosperous."
Ye Kun comforted everyone and gave Shangguan Lin some instructions.
At the end of August, Huang Jingzu and Shangguan Lin set out separately.
Coincidentally, Xie Baochan's son Ye Shusheng also returned from Tianzhu.
Xie Baochan was overjoyed. She hugged her son tightly, crying and laughing: "Shusheng, you have grown taller, and you are tanned. You seem to be stronger too... My dear, mother has finally waited for you to come back!"
Ye Shusheng's eyes also turned red, and he knelt down and said, "Mother, I made you worry."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "My son has grown up suddenly in the past two years. It's a cause for celebration. It seems that he will grow faster if he is released."
Xie Baochan wiped his tears and said with a smile: "Good son, tell your father and mother about what happened in the past two years."
Two years ago, Ye Kun went on a tour to Chengdu and took Ye Shusheng with him.
Ye Shusheng also followed the Chengdu Xie family and immigrated to Tianzhu, where he stayed. Two groups of Xie family immigrants had already gone to the northern continent of the Persian Gulf.
"Father, Mother, please sit down and listen to your son."
Ye Shusheng nodded, served tea to his parents, and said with a smile: "When I arrived in Tianzhu, Liu Ai had already built the East Palace Prince's Mansion for me. It was very clean. The floor was paved with white tiles, the walls were painted with white lime, and the doors and windows were covered with two layers of screens. In the Prince's Mansion, mosquito-proof trees were transplanted, and there were no mosquitoes at all."
Xie Baochan nodded repeatedly: "Liu Ai is good and takes good care of you."
"Liu Ai keeps a close eye on me and doesn't let me go out casually. Otherwise, I would have followed the navy to the Persian Gulf." Ye Shusheng added:
"Our naval vanguard landed in the northern part of the Persian Gulf and had no opponents at all. There were only a few tribes in that place, and no decent country. When our guns and cannons sounded, all the savages were scared away.
My uncle and his two batches of immigrants, a total of more than 8,000 people, have built two small towns and seven large farms, and live a comfortable life. This time when I come back, I hope my father will give me tens of thousands of people. I will take them to the Persian Gulf, and then I can control more territory. "
