Chapter 730: Blood Curse Book.
Wen Axiu sighed:
"This island is so large that even if 100,000 immigrants come here, we won't see any. When will we see that all the people on the island are Chinese?"
Ye Kun said:
"The area of this island is about 60,000 square kilometers. Excluding the uninhabitable areas, there are still 30,000 square kilometers. If we arrange for one couple to immigrate to each square kilometer, that would require 30,000 couples.
But we can do it slowly, and as the generations grow, the population will increase."
Song Poliu said: "If 30,000 couples really come here, it will be enough. They can marry more local concubines and have more children. In 20 years, won't the population still be hundreds of thousands? Look at the Jiaozhi Peninsula, there are newborns everywhere now.
There are many newborns in the southern part of Tianzhu Continent, but we have to wait until they grow up before we can participate in the construction."
Ye Kun sighed and said, "In the nine provinces of China, there are many girls who are abandoned at birth. We have orphanages in every county and state. Every year, there are 20,000 to 30,000 orphans who grow up, most of whom are girls.
We will train these girls intensively, and when they grow up, they will become female soldiers, doctors, teachers, and agricultural textile technicians. We will arrange marriages for these girls, and then immigrate here in batches.
According to the current situation, there will be more orphans in the future, so there is no need to worry too much about immigration. "
In recent years, most of the children who grew up in orphanages have undergone military training and skills training, and then immigrated overseas.
Most of the soldiers in Jiaozhi and Tuntian were these people.
The Ministry of War still had nearly 10,000 new recruits, all of whom grew up in orphanages. They were detained by Ye Kun and were planned to immigrate with Ye Shusheng.
At present, it seems that half of it can be allocated to Hanhuangdao.
Hu Gaoyuan smiled and said, "No wonder the emperor pays special attention to the orphanage. The queen visits the orphanage many times every year."
"That's just the nature of the Queen Mother. She is the mother of the country."
Ye Kun held up a telescope and looked around: "Let's go to other small towns. Wherever I've been, you've erected stone tablets to declare China's sovereignty here."
Wherever the Han emperor went, he left stone tablets, which is equivalent to engraving the Yanran Stone.
Future generations can proudly tell everyone that this has been the land of the Han Dynasty since ancient times.
If it is accidentally taken away by foreigners, the descendants in the future who have become powerful can also snatch it back based on the evidence of "since ancient times"!
Liu Ai asked: "How big a stone tablet should be carved?"
“Do you still need to ask me this?” Ye Kun rolled his eyes in anger: “Make it as big as possible, as many as possible, and tell our descendants that this place has belonged to our Chinese Han Empire since ancient times.”
Liu Ai nodded and smiled.
Ye Kun added: "In the places that have been conquered, temporary counties will be set up, county governors and county magistrates will be appointed, and formal management will begin. When the time is right, I will send a prince to take charge of the overall situation."
This time when he visited Hanhuang Island in person, Ye Kun felt that the environment here was not that scary.
Prince Ye Chan can come over at any time.
Coming earlier can help you establish your prestige, which will be beneficial in the future.
Liu Ai and Hu Gaoyuan nodded together.
When they arrived at the next small town, Ye Kun visited the garrison, encouraged everyone, and asked about their living conditions.
Most of the soldiers were in good spirits.
A few people feel depressed because they miss home.
Ye Kun encouraged everyone and sang and drank with them, which completely aroused everyone's enthusiasm.
During the rest time at night, Ye Kun drafted a secret telegram and sent it to the imperial city, passing it to Liu Yuejuan and Prince Ye Chan, telling them about the situation on Hanhuang Island and asking Ye Chan to report to the Ministry of War and start leading the troops.
There are still nearly 10,000 orphan soldiers in the Ministry of War. Ye Kun asked Ye Chan to manage half of them, train his confidants, and prepare to immigrate to Hanhuang Island in the future.
Ye Chan was also very smart. He gathered a group of his classmates and went to the Ministry of War to lead troops and start his military career.
A few days later, the Tamil envoy came again.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "How is it, did your king agree to our request?"
The messenger sighed and said, "Reporting to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the Tamil King's intention is to cede one-third of the island to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. The people who are ceded will also be given to you and regarded as the subjects of the Han Dynasty.
However, please ask the Emperor of Han to promise that he will not attack the Tamil King again."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Do you have a complete map of the entire island?"
The Tamil envoy was ashamed and handed over the map: "This is a map of the entire island made by your Han Empire. We don't have it ourselves."
The island nation was large, and the Tamil empire's technology and navigation, surveying and cartography were not sufficient to produce accurate maps.
It was the navy and surveying personnel of the Han Dynasty who circled the island several times before they were able to determine the outline and area of the island.
Ye Kun didn't make a map of the interior of the island, only a rough outline.
The map submitted showed a large pear-shaped island.
In the upper third, a straight line was drawn, almost following a mountain range running east-west.
The messenger said: "This is our Tamil sacred mountain. Our king said that the northern side of the mountain is all given to you. You cannot set foot on the southern side of the mountain."
Ye Kun took a look at it and handed it to Liu Ai and others for review.
Song Poliu leaned close to Ye Kun's ear and whispered:
"Your Majesty, this condition can be agreed. We don't have many immigrants at the moment, so it's useless to have a place that's too big. This area is more than enough to accommodate several million people."
Liu Ai and others all have the same meaning.
With this one-third of the island, we can build it up and quickly absorb the wealth of the Tamil dynasty, and the same will apply if we attack there again in the future.
Ye Kun nodded and asked the messenger: "I agree to your Tamil king's conditions. But your army is still occupying the Immortal Mountain. When will it withdraw?"
The messenger said: "Our Tamil king said that we have to wait for half a month to evacuate because we have many things to take with us."
Ye Kun was easy to talk to: "Okay, I'll give you half a month."
The Tamil envoy took out a piece of parchment with crooked words written on it: "Emperor of the Han Dynasty, this is our blood curse book. I hope you will swear and cut your finger and drip blood on it, then our king will believe it."
Ye Kun frowned: "Blood Curse Book, what is it?"
The messenger explained: "It is the promise made by mankind to the gods. If the promise is not kept, the person who sheds blood will not die a good death."
"How dare you speak disrespectfully in front of the Emperor!"
Ye Shusheng was furious, and drew his sword, pointing it at the messenger: "You barbarians, do you think we can't catch you all in one fell swoop?"
The messenger shuddered with fear and waved his hand, saying, "This is the Tamil king's intention, not mine."
Ye Kun curled his lips and asked the interpreter: "Can you understand the text above?"
The interpreter took a look and said, "Your Majesty, this is a kind of witchcraft of the Tamil Dynasty. They believe in the gods and think that if blood drips on the guarantee, the gods will supervise both parties and punish the party that breaches the contract."
Ye Kun smiled and asked everyone: "What do you think, can I drip blood?"
