The most arrogant in history

Chapter 832 Hunhe Farm.

The old man was stunned, looked back at his tribesmen, tears streaming down his face.

Ye Kun said gently: "Don't worry, old man, I will ensure the safety of all of you and I will not kill anyone. If you come with us, we will be a family. Otherwise, I will only regard you as enemies."

Behind the old man, all the Huns were kowtowing and chattering, expressing their willingness to follow Ye Kun.

Ye Kun nodded and asked, "Are all your people here?"

The old man wiped his tears and said, "There are more than seventy people hiding in the woods far away..."

"Ten of you go back and take all your people to the Beihai camp. The rest of you, follow me to the camp first. When all your people are here, follow me southward."

After that, Ye Kun ordered Qin Siyuan to return ten horses to the Huns and let them choose ten people to go back.

Ye Kun gave orders to give the remaining people food and wine so that they could fill their stomachs.

Qin Siyuan whispered, "Your Majesty, why should you be so nice to the Huns? Just kill all the men and leave the young women behind."

Ye Kun sighed and patted Qin Siyuan on the shoulder:

"I can't see how you treat the Xiongnu people. But under my watch, I will never allow you to kill people at will. After these Xiongnu people are taken to the Central Plains, they will gradually become Han people. We are all human beings and have the right to live."

Qin Siyuan couldn't understand and smiled awkwardly.

Ye Kun waved his hand and ordered everyone to return.

The Hun captives were also taken away.

It was already dusk when we returned to Beihai Camp.

Qin Siyuan whispered, "Your Majesty, here are two Xiongnu girls, barely pretty, send them here right away to serve Your Majesty so that he can rest at night."

"Nonsense!"

Ye Kun glared: "Pass on my order, do not bully these Xiongnu women, otherwise you will be punished by military law."

Qin Siyuan hurriedly clasped his fists: "Yes!"

Ye Kun asked for wine and food to be prepared and went to see the prisoners.

The prisoners were locked up in the barracks, all of them were terrified.

Ye Kun ordered to distribute the food and wine to everyone, and then said: "We still have cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded shoes in stock, right? Give each of them a set of cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded shoes and cotton-padded hats, and a heating stove, so that everyone won't freeze to death."

Qin Siyuan ordered his men to do it immediately.

Ye Kun also invited several old men among the captives to drink and chat together, talking about the history of the Huns and the grievances between the Huns and China.

In fact, many of the Huns here have Chinese blood.

Those princesses who were married off and the Han people who drifted to the north all married the Xiongnu and gave birth to offspring.

The Huns not only looted Han women, but also kidnapped Han men and then forced them to marry Hun women.

Because Han people are tall, handsome, smart and have good genes.

By this time, the relationship between the Huns and the Han people had become even closer.

After all, we are all relatives.

After the dinner, the Huns' impression of Ye Kun changed a lot.

Two days later, the ten Huns who were released really brought their entire clan to the Beihai camp.

Ye Kun was also about to set off and return to the city of Yanran.

Among the Hun captives, the elderly, women and children were all loaded into diesel vehicles.

The young man followed Ye Kun and rode on horseback.

Along the way, Ye Kun deliberately chatted with the Huns to understand their lives and thoughts.

The Huns had resentment towards Ye Kun, but they did not dare to speak it out.

Seven days later, they returned to the great city of Yanran.

Jiang Yourong and others, along with Ye Weiwei, greeted them outside the city.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I am sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

"It's okay to wait a long time, I just miss the emperor." Jiang Yourong smiled and asked, "I heard that the emperor brought back some Huns this time?"

"Yes, more than a hundred people, take them to the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain."

Ye Kun nodded and entered the city with everyone.

A welcoming banquet has been prepared in the city.

Knowing that Ye Kun was frugal, no one dared to waste anything and only ordered simple food and drinks.

Ye Qingshan reported to Ye Kun:

"Your Majesty, the survey of the Hunhe River Valley has yielded results. We plan to start right away, sending out 10,000 soldiers and civilians to build two large farms as an exploration.

If the food production is successful, we will expand it.”

Old Ma was full of confidence: "Your Majesty, we have seen the soil there, as well as the water and fertilizer conditions. We can definitely develop millions of acres of land. In the future, we can make it a sub-city of Yanran City, and the two places can share what they have and develop together."

Ye Kun nodded: "Okay, you start construction immediately and build the Hunhe Farm. I believe that with the wisdom and hard work of us Han people, we can definitely settle down on the prairie!"

If the Han people wanted to occupy the prairie permanently, they could only combine settled life and nomadic life.

They engage in nomadic life, seize land with lush grass and water, and squeeze the living space of other nomads.

Build cities and settle down there to stabilize the rear area and serve as a fortress, making it absolutely safe.

The combination of the two, plus the migration of the Huns, made the prairie the basic foundation of China.

Ye Qingshan was also very happy and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the development of Hunhe Farm still needs the support of the court. There is no shortage of cattle and horses here, but we need farm tools, manpower, steam pumps and transportation vehicles."

"I give!"

Ye Kun was very generous and said with a smile: "I will immediately notify the Nine Departments to send the necessary materials and tools. Prepare a list of what you need and solve them one by one in order of importance and urgency.

As for funding, I will give you another 500,000 taels of silver as an advance fee."

Everyone clasped their fists together to express their gratitude.

After resting for two days in the city of Yanran, Ye Kun officially returned.

During this visit to the North, Ye Kun saw the development of the North with his own eyes. He felt very pleased and completely relieved.

The great city of Yanran has taken root here. The descendants of China will never lose this grassland!

On the way back, Ye Weiwei was very happy. She rode horses with Gu Liuguang, talking and laughing.

Ye Kun asked, "Girl Liuguang, are you willing to leave your parents and family behind if you follow us to Zhuo County?"

Gu Liuguang smiled and said, "Thanks to the emperor's care, my father is now the farm manager. His living conditions have improved and he has a fixed salary. I am relieved. My parents said that they are grateful for the emperor's care and let me follow the princess and be a personal maid. It can be regarded as a way to repay the emperor's kindness."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "But you are also at the age of marriage, and your marriage is not yet decided. Who will decide for you when you go to Zhuo County?"

Gu Liuguang blushed and lowered his head.

Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "Father, Liuguang's father said that when we arrive in Zhuo County, please ask the emperor to arrange a marriage for Gu Liuguang."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Let your mother arrange it. She is more professional."

As an emperor, Ye Kun is busy with all kinds of things and really has no time to worry about such trivial matters.

Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "Father, why not let Gu Liuguang follow the prince and be his concubine. Liuguang is so smart, she can help the prince govern the country in the future."

Ye Kun frowned: "Let's talk about it after we return to Zhuo County."
