Chapter 903 is a done deal.
Yuejuan's two sons and one daughter are all in Hanhuang Island.
They all had their own children, and they came forward one by one to kowtow.
Ye Kun and Liu Yuejuan have never seen the emperor's grandchildren born in recent years.
After sitting down in the conference hall of the port, it took Ye Kun half a day to recognize all the emperor's grandchildren.
Jiang Yourong was tactful and asked Xie Baochan and others to rest aside so as not to disturb Yuejuan and her son's reunion.
Yuejuan's two silly younger brothers also came with their family and children. They were naturally excited to see their sister.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Let's hold a family dinner today. After dinner, we'll take a rest for a night and then go to the Royal City of Hanhuang Island to take a look."
The royal city of Hanhuang Island is located in the middle of the island.
Although the highway was built, it still took two days to travel.
Brother Ye Chan was very happy and had already prepared a grand banquet.
I almost gave away everything I had, using the best things I had, to honor my parents.
After three rounds of drinks, Ye Kun said to his son and daughter, "I can only stay in Hanhuang Island for half a month, and then I will go to the Oil Peninsula. Your mother will stay in Hanhuang Island from now on, and I will leave her to you to take care of her."
Liu Yuejuan burst into tears when she heard this: "Your Majesty, on one side are my children, and on the other side is you. What should I do? The children have grown up and have become kings of Hanhuang Island, just like the emperor. I am relieved. I plan to go to the royal city to take a look, or accompany you to the Oil Peninsula."
Ye Kun comforted him, "The Oil Peninsula is not far from Hanhuang Island. You can stay here for a while to accompany your children and grandchildren. Later, I can come to see you, and you can also go to the Oil Peninsula to meet you."
Liu Yuejuan wiped her tears and nodded.
Ye Chan said: "Don't worry, father. I will take good care of mother. When father settles down in the Oil Peninsula, I will accompany mother to visit you."
Ye Kun nodded and asked about the current situation of Hanhuang Island.
Ye Chan said: "Thank you, father, for your care over the years. Every year, you provide a large amount of materials and technical personnel, as well as a large number of immigrants. Now, the total population of Hanhuang Island has reached more than 700,000."
Ye Kun was surprised: "Are there so many?"
Ye Chan smiled and said, "The Han people who immigrated here all had original Han wives and local aboriginal concubines, so they had many children. The children born to the aboriginal concubines have the blood of Yanhuang, so they are naturally considered Han people.
I estimate that in two or three years, with the continuous immigration from the nine provinces of China, the total Han population here will exceed one million."
Over the years, immigration to Hanhuangdao has never stopped.
But there are not many, only more than 10,000 people every year. There are orphan soldiers, scientific and technological personnel, medical personnel and educators, as well as some officials who committed crimes and their families were exiled here.
As the population of China's nine provinces increases, immigration will be more intense in the future.
Therefore, Ye Chan is very confident about the future development of Hanhuangdao.
Liu Yuejuan smiled and said, "How many natives are there here?"
Ye Chan replied: "There are about 600,000 indigenous people that can be counted, all of whom work in our large farms and mines. There should be more than 100,000 indigenous people hiding in the mountains and forests, and they do not obey our management. The specific data is difficult to count."
Yue Juan frowned: "If the natives don't obey the management, won't it be a disaster? Will they rebel and harm us Han people?"
"Don't worry, mother. They don't dare to rebel."
Ye Chan smiled: "Those natives are uncivilized people with backward weapons. They dare not go against us. Although they do not obey our management, we still have trade exchanges with them. We can make money from them through trade.
The natives would hunt and sell us their hides in exchange for our ironware and porcelain. We made a lot of money from this.
So I plan to keep these natives and let them reproduce. In this way, we can continue to make money."
Hanhuang Island is actually very large, much larger than Yizhou Island.
The total population here is just over one million.
Many places are undeveloped.
With Ye Chan's current manpower, it is difficult to control the entire island, so he did not kill all the natives in the mountains.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "My Lady, the sons you raise are all like you, kind-hearted and unwilling to kill more lives. In fact, this arrangement for your son is good. Slowly, the natives can be transformed into the people.
My son is still young, and he will accomplish this task in his lifetime."
Liu Yuejuan looked at the map of Hanhuang Island and shook her head:
"This island is larger than the entire territory of Jingzhou, and it is also covered with mountains. My son only has more than 700,000 people under his command, and most of them are still children. It is difficult for him to actually control such a large area.
Even in another thirty years, I don’t think that will happen.”
Ye Chan smiled and said, "Mother, in another thirty years, I will have two million people, or even five million. By then, controlling the entire island will be a sure thing, right?"
"Can the population grow to five million in thirty years?" Liu Yuejuan expressed doubt.
"Sure, No problem."
Ye Kun continued, "Subsequent immigration will be intensified. They are all young people and will give birth quickly. Moreover, the number will increase exponentially. For example, when I pacified the Central Plains, the total population of our Chinese Nine Provinces was just over 10 million. Now, it has reached over 100 million."
Liu Yuejuan smiled and said, "That's not how it's calculated. China's total population has grown from over 10 million to 100 million over the past 20 years, and that's because our territory has expanded. The population of the occupied areas is all included, so that's why we have this many."
The statistical population of 100 million includes the Kyushu of China, Izho Island, Liaodong, Jizui Peninsula, Fuso Changdao, the northern prairie, and the Western Qiang and Western Regions.
If the population of overseas occupied territories is included, the total number will be even higher.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Just counting the original nine states of China, the population has increased three times. Moreover, we have a lot of emigrants, otherwise, the population of the nine states of China would be even greater."
Over the years, Ye Kun has introduced a large number of workers from overseas, both male and female.
However, China also carried out larger-scale immigration overseas, with hundreds of thousands of people each year, far exceeding the overseas population introduced.
Most of those who immigrate overseas are young people.
If those people stayed in China, plus normal childbirth, the population would now be more than 10 million.
Ye Chan said that after 30 years in Hanhuangdao, the total Han population will reach five million, and Ye Kun feels there is hope.
For such a large island, as long as there is technology, it will not be a problem to feed 20 million people.
Because the descendants of the Chinese are the most hardworking.
Liu Yuejuan smiled and said, "I won't be able to see what happens in 30 years. But I am still very happy that the children are flourishing in Hanhuang Island."
When the Ye Chan brothers came to Hanhuang Island, they declared themselves emperors and avoided the internal struggles within the royal family at home.
This made Liu Yuejuan feel relieved.
