Chapter 801 God-given treasure land!
Ye Kun smiled and said, "The sailing time is about two months. Every one or two days, the ship will dock at the port to let everyone go ashore to rest and get some supplies.
From Qiantang Port to Tianzhu Continent, we have more than 80 ports where we can dock at any time. It is very safe. "
The experts at the meeting were all yearning, with light in their eyes.
Ye Kun struck while the iron was hot: "Next year, we will arrange for a thousand agricultural experts to go to Tianzhu and Jiaozhi for exchanges, learning and visits. Anyone who is willing to go out and take a look can sign up with the Ministry of Agriculture.
When you go to Tianzhu Continent, you will fall in love with that land. Because the land there is really good. "
After hearing this, everyone became even more excited and said with a smile that they would sign up after the meeting.
After the agricultural conference, there is the national education conference.
One winter, Ye Kun was either in meetings or in seclusion in the Science and Technology City.
On the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Tianzhu expedition led by Sang Buzhi finally returned.
There were 500 people in the whole group, and 492 returned.
Only eight people died during the journey due to acclimatization and accidental illness.
Overall, the safety level is still very high.
Ye Kun brought Crown Prince Ye Feng to personally welcome Sang Buyi, Ma Zhao and others outside the south gate of Zhuo County.
"Your Majesty, you are worth a fortune, but you have come to greet us. How can we be worthy of this?"
Sang Buzhi and the nine ministers all bowed repeatedly.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Every time I go on tour, you are here to welcome me when I come back. This time, I am here to welcome you as well. This is the friendship between the monarch and his subjects."
Ma Zhao clasped his fists and said, "How is the emperor?"
"I'm fine. I think your year has been pretty good too, right?"
"Your Majesty, this time, we have really opened our eyes."
Sang Buyi smiled from ear to ear: "Jiaozhi, Yunmian and Tianzhu Continent have all become familiar Chinese places, which is really beyond our imagination. All the landmarks and boundary signs in those places have been replaced with Chinese characters. Everywhere we go, there are Han people, just like in China."
Ye Kun smiled: "How are the products in Jiaozhi and Tianzhu?"
Sang Buyi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right. Jiaozhi and Tianzhu are both good places for farming. The farming conditions are better than those in the Chinese mainland. The grain output is much higher than that in the Chinese mainland."
"So, what do you think, how should we manage Tianzhu in the future?"
"I want to immigrate." Sang Buyi grinned and said:
"We need to vigorously migrate in order to manage such a large piece of land. Your Majesty, we used to oppose your large-scale overseas migration, but now we realize that we were short-sighted. The Jiaozhi Peninsula and the Tianzhu Peninsula are both precious lands bestowed by God to our descendants of the Chinese nation. We must take them!"
Ma Zhao was also very excited: "As long as we firmly grasp the Tianzhu Peninsula and Jiaozhi Peninsula in our hands, the descendants of Yan and Huang will have food to eat for generations to come!"
Ye Kun laughed loudly, clasped his fists and said, "My lords, let's go back to the city together. I will welcome you!"
Everyone bowed and got on their cars.
After returning to the city, Ye Kun held a grand banquet at the State Guesthouse to welcome Sang Buyi and others.
After three rounds of drinks, Sang Buyi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, we stayed in Tianzhu for three months. The members of the inspection team all liked it there and asked for land and farms. They planned to mobilize their relatives and families to immigrate to Tianzhu after returning.
I wonder if the Emperor will agree?"
Ye Kun smiled and said, "I have always been worried about immigration. I am worried that people don't know much about the Tianzhu Continent and are unwilling to go there. If you are willing to mobilize your relatives and clansmen to go there, I will naturally strongly support it. However, you have to take it slow and follow the plan."
Ma Zhao nodded: "Completely digesting the Tianzhu continent is a big deal, and it really requires long-term planning."
Ye Kun nodded and said, "Everyone, take a rest for two days, then we will hold a meeting to discuss and make arrangements for next year's immigration. This time, we need to take bigger steps and make faster progress."
Sang Buyi clasped his fists and said, "As long as the finances can keep up, I support all the immigration measures of the emperor."
"Financially, there should be no problem."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Tianzhu and Jiaozhi are both self-sufficient and pay tribute every year. On the western front, Huang Jingzu and Shangguan Lin also sent back 300,000 taels of gold to support our development and construction.
In the Persian Gulf, Prince Ye Shusheng has done a good job, not adding to the court's financial burden, and even raising funds to mine oil, which is continuously delivered to us."
This year, the princes sent overseas were basically able to support themselves.
Only the Great Song Island and the Datang Island still need the support of the imperial court.
The biggest expense is still the cost of overseas immigration and troop transportation.
Two days later, Ye Kun convened a meeting of nine ministries to discuss in detail the immigration and management issues of Tianzhu, as well as some domestic issues.
Sang Buyi said: "The biggest problem at home is that there are too many newborns and not enough labor; the biggest problem overseas is that the proportion of Han people is too small and we can't manage it.
These two problems can be solved together. Let our descendants of Yan and Huang immigrate abroad, and then bring overseas workers back."
Ye Kun pondered and said, "At present, the major factories, mines, and road construction teams of the imperial court are basically not short of people. Because there are still more than two million foreign laborers and middle-aged men in the country."
Zhuge Hong clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the Xiongnu, Liaodong, Goguryeo, and even the natives of Fusang are all ancient branches of the Chinese nation, with the same skin color. I suggest that we dismiss some of the Xiongnu, Liaodong, and Goguryeo laborers, give them the status of freemen, and let them cultivate the land.
Then, we will recruit additional workers from India.”
Ye Kun hesitated.
Sang Buyi smiled and said, "There is no need to disband them. Instead, we can send the assimilated foreign laborers to the imperial court's large farms or land reclamation groups to participate in agricultural production. In this way, we won't have to worry about agricultural production."
Ye Kun smiled bitterly and said, "There are not many farms controlled by the court anymore. Because of the population growth and shortage of arable land in the past two years, many farms have been distributed to the people. Therefore, there is not much need for too many workers on the farms."
Sang Buyi said: "Then give the obedient foreign laborers to the large-scale farmers. Large-scale farmers can get free laborers and solve the problem of labor shortage."
Ye Kun frowned: "I'm afraid that we Han farmers can't control these foreign laborers and cause public security problems."
"Your Majesty, you are overthinking. The people have their own wisdom and will take good care of these laborers."
Sang Buyi smiled and said, "If that doesn't work, we can also set up a farming team. During the busy farming season, we can bring foreign laborers to attack the farmers."
"Let the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Agriculture discuss this issue in detail."
Ye Kun said: "As for bringing in laborers from Tianzhu, there is no problem, because the sea vessels run back and forth, and it is not troublesome to bring them along. We just need to prepare more supplies."
At the meeting, Ye Kun introduced Zhuge Hong's opinions.
The construction of foster homes and military reserve forces.
Sang Buyi and others voted unanimously in favor of the proposal and it was implemented immediately.
In this way, the problems of military resources and immigration population for external expansion were basically solved.
Ye Kun looked at everyone and said:
"I plan to personally lead troops to the Oil Peninsula after the New Year to build an oil extraction base and refining center. This time, I will fully occupy the Oil Peninsula and lay a solid foundation."
