Chapter 895: Flying to see you.
The old man smiled and said, "I am just a little worried... I heard that when people who immigrated to the settlement wrote letters back, there were people watching over them to prevent them from writing anything they wanted. So I am afraid that my son's letter is not the truth..."
"This is a rumor."
Ye Kun shook his head and sighed, "There are many rumors among the people, saying that if you go to Jiaozhi and Tianzhu, you will almost die. Going there is like going to jail. In order to dispel these rumors, we often arrange for Jiaozhi and Tianzhu immigrants to go home to visit their families.
Look at those who go home to visit their relatives, most of them take the initiative to bring their relatives over.
Because there were so many fertile fields in Jiaozhi and Tianzhu, there was really more food than could be eaten up.
The leftover grain was used to feed livestock, chickens and ducks, and to make wine and sugar. This also led to very low prices for chickens, ducks, fish, meat and wine in Jiaozhi.
Now, Jiaozhi has sent us not only food, but also a large amount of strong liquor, red and white sugar, and salted pork jerky. "
The old man nodded repeatedly: "I also told my son to come back and we will ask him everything in detail, and then we will feel relieved. But my son said that it is not easy to come back from there, and he needs to ask for leave and get approval."
Ye Kun nodded: "The court has changed the rules and regulations to allow those who have been emigrating for more than two years to return home to visit their families. Your son will be able to come back soon."
In the past, immigrants were worried that they would run back, so basically, they were not allowed to go home to visit their families.
At that time, there was insufficient transportation capacity and no such conditions.
Things are different now. Overseas immigrants must be allowed to return home to visit their families.
When they go home to visit their relatives, they will tell them about the wealth overseas, thus dispelling the rumors.
This will also be of great benefit to future immigrants.
The domestic population has exploded, and there are still tens of millions of miles of land in Jiaozhi and Tianzhu that are uncultivated. We must increase our immigration efforts!
Allowing early immigrants to return to visit their families and take a group of their families with them also greatly reduced the pressure on the court.
Zhu Chengbang came over and whispered, "Your Majesty, you have arranged for everyone to toast at each table. I think it's almost time."
Ye Kun nodded, holding a glass of wine and walked down the stage, greeting everyone at each table.
Those old men were all flattered. They stood up with their glasses in hand and shed tears of gratitude.
The wheat had been ripe for thousands of times, but this was the first time the emperor toasted the people.
Wang Dahai, along with several guards, accompanied Ye Kun.
Ye Kun was not allowed to drink either.
Half an hour had passed when Ye Kun took a walk and came back.
According to the set procedure, Jiang Laowu took the stage and spoke loudly:
"Dear elders, in order to support the court's large-scale immigration plan and to enable our descendants to occupy the rich overseas lands as soon as possible, I, Jiang Laowu, and Marshal Guan Yongguan, Marshal Qin Erwu, and Lord Qin Chou have decided to emigrate the entire clan overseas.
All the properties and lands of our families in Pingye County will be handed over to the imperial court, which will make the final decision on how to redistribute them to the folks in Pingye County.
When we followed the emperor to fight for the world, we swore to bring benefits to the world and eliminate harm, and seek welfare for the people! Therefore, our wealth is everyone's wealth.
We will keep our word and donate all our properties and real estate to the country and to our fellow countrymen!"
There was warm applause from the audience.
Ye Kun also announced that every elder attending the thousand-year-old birthday banquet today would receive a gift.
The gifts were hastily prepared, including one silver coin for each person, a pound of brown sugar, a bag of dried fruits, matches, soap, and a pair of nail clippers.
This gift is a bit shabby.
But the old people who attended the banquet were all very happy.
The thousand-year-old birthday banquet ended at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Although it was announced repeatedly that kneeling was not allowed, after the elders left, many people still knelt towards the hall where the banquet was held.
Ye Kun was very moved and sighed, "The Chinese people are the most reasonable, but since the first emperor unified China, few emperors have treated the people as human beings."
Wen Axiu said: "After the First Emperor, only Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing and Your Majesty are the most benevolent and loving to the people."
Ye Kun shook his head: "My merits and demerits will be judged by future generations. Almost everyone praised everything I did. Only the large-scale emigration caused many families to be separated, and there was some resentment among the court and the people.
In this respect, I am not as good as Emperor Wen. "
Wen Axiu said: "But the emperor vigorously developed science and technology, created a prosperous era of scientific research, created an industrial age, and introduced overseas fine varieties... Emperor Wen's generosity benefited tens of millions of people. And the emperor's achievements benefited hundreds of millions of people."
Ye Kun smiled bitterly, but still shook his head slightly.
Xie Baochan said: "Your Majesty, future generations will surely think highly of you."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Why do you think so?"
"Because people in the world admire the strong. For example, the First Emperor and Emperor Wu have always been admired." Xie Baochan smiled and said:
"Your Majesty used iron-blooded means to wipe out the four barbarians, especially the Xiongnu in the north. Even Emperor Wu could not do that. The current Chinese territory is more than twice as large as during Emperor Wu's time. When we take down the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, there will only be one Chinese Empire in the entire world.
The combined achievements of the previous emperor, the First Emperor, and the Emperor Wu, are not even half of what the emperor has achieved.”
Ye Kun suddenly smiled: "I think that the slower we conquer the Roman Empire, the better."
Xie Baochan smiled and said, "No matter how fast or slow it is, it will be defeated eventually."
That night, Ye Kun rested in Pingye County again.
The next morning, we all returned together.
After boarding the boat in Tianmen City, Ye Kun looked at Jiang Yourong and said with a smile, "Did you have fun this time, Madam?"
Jiang Yourong suddenly sighed: "When I was not back, I wanted to come back. But when I came back, it was just like that. Time has passed, things have changed, and people have changed. When I came back, I couldn't find the feeling of the past."
Ye Kun held Jiang Yourong's hand and said, "That's because we are no longer young. The so-called revisiting of the old place is just that we want to look back at our past."
Jiang Yourong smiled: "Maybe."
On the 22nd day of the first lunar month, Ye Kun and others returned to Zhuo County.
The first thing Ye Kun did was to go to the Science and Technology City to inquire about the aircraft research and visit the injured pilot.
Pang Jia didn't care and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Senior Brother Huang, give me another two months, and I will definitely be able to fly and fly higher!"
"Brother, scientific research requires a spirit like yours, but safety must also be ensured."
Ye Kun patted Pang Jia on the shoulder and said, "No matter which scientific research activity it is, we must do our best to ensure safety. Regarding the development of the aircraft, I will give you five years. Don't be impatient, take your time.
Materials science is developing. In five years, our materials science will make great progress, which will be of great benefit to the development of aircraft. "
Pang Jia was still the same, full of confidence: "Brother, the quality of aluminum alloys and various alloy steels is already very good. With the current materials, I can make an airplane! Not three years, just one year, and I will fly a plane to the Oil Peninsula to see you!"
