The most arrogant in history

Chapter 704: Divine Methods.

Ye Kun nodded: "We will start with publicity to test the public's reaction. The first step is to prohibit non-civil servants from carrying offensive weapons in all major cities. Later, we will gradually promote it downwards."

As he was talking, Ye Kun came to the four-way intersection between the outer city and the inner city, and the most prosperous bell tower in Zhuo County.

The big clock tower here is square, with huge pendulum clocks hanging on all four sides, which ring out the time on time every day.

Due to traffic congestion at the Big Bell Tower, a new cross overpass was built, one running north-south and one running east-west, both of which can accommodate horse-drawn carriages running side by side, and there are sidewalks on both sides.

The main building is made of reinforced concrete, which is solid and flat.

The officials and common people of Zhuo County had never seen such an awesome overpass building and called it the Fairy Bridge.

Tan Bamao smiled and said, "Godfather, every time I walk under this overpass, I get a little scared. It would be terrible if such a heavy bridge collapsed."

"Stop talking nonsense, kid. This bridge project is very simple. In the eyes of our experts, it is child's play. Even if it takes 50 years, there will be no problems."

Ye Kun glared and said, "The design load capacity of this bridge is unlimited in terms of the carriage's carrying capacity. Even if the bridge is full of carriages, all of them fully loaded with goods, there will be no problem."

There were no large trucks in ancient times, and the overpass was designed to exceed the standard, so Ye Kun felt relieved.

Tan Bamao smiled and said, "What my godfather thinks is very simple is like a divine method to the common people of Zhuo County, so it is called the Divine Bridge."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Your godfather's real magic has not been used yet. If the design of a complex multi-level overpass is a little more complicated, it will make you lose your way and make you dizzy."

The overpass in Zhuo County is actually very simple.

The structure is simple and the shape is also simple.

The mountain city overpass in later generations is truly a divine method.

Without navigation, even gods would get lost.

Ye Kun can also build a more complicated overpass, but it seems that it is of no use.

People marveled at the overpass in Zhuo County mainly because of its reinforced concrete materials.

Walk over the overpass and head to the Grand Theatre.

To the east of the Grand Theater, an amusement park was opened, adding facilities such as mazes, fountains, glass plank roads, and cultural corridors.

Tan Bamao smiled and said, "The area around the Grand Theater is now the cultural activity center of Zhuo County. Even if it is windy or rainy, there are still many tourists and vendors. I heard that several other secondary capitals have built grand theaters. I really want to go and see them."

Ye Kun nodded: "Chengdu, Jinling, Luoyang, and Chang'an have all built large theaters, and they are very lively. I also plan to build small theaters in large cities with a population of more than 100,000 to boost the entertainment market."

"Godfather is right. The Grand Theater is much better than the old brothels. Only men could go to brothels. The Grand Theater is different. Men, women, old people, and children can all come to play."

"You old boy, you're talking about brothels again, don't you have some evil intentions?"

"No." Tan Bamao laughed and said in a low voice:

"However, there are several singing and dancing troupes in the West, among which there are many beauties, who are deeply loved by officials in Zhuo County. I know that some officials privately invited the Roman singing and dancing troupe to perform at their homes and stayed out all night."

"Is there still this?"

Ye Kun understood and said thoughtfully: "It must cost a lot to invite Roman beauties to perform at home. It seems that these officials are very rich."

Tan Bamao nodded: "In the past year or so, the salaries of officials have doubled and their benefits have improved. Some people are indeed willing to spend money."

"Among the nine ministers, are there any such officials?"

"There are none in the Nine Departments. They are all middle-level officials. For example, university presidents, farm managers of imperial farms, and managers of coal and grain depots..."

"I understand. Let Ma Zhao investigate. If there are any corruption or bribery cases, send the whole family to India. India needs immigrants anyway, the more the better."

Ye Kun nodded and said, "We must also tighten up the law and order in Zhuo County. Those habitual thieves and those who stab people with knives should be sent overseas."

Tan Bamao nodded and took Ye Kun into the theater.

Rehearsal is going on in the Grand Theater.

Ye Kun checked some basic equipment and found that they had been updated and were becoming more and more advanced.

Bingbing was the person in charge of the Grand Theater. She came to greet Ye Kun and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, our Grand Theater has made a lot of money over the past year. In another year, we will be able to earn back all the construction costs of the Grand Theater."

"Well done, and deserves praise."

Ye Kun nodded and said with a smile: "The Grand Theater is not only responsible for performances, but also for cultivating literary and artistic talents and sending them to various parts of Kyushu and overseas. A single flower does not make spring, but a hundred flowers in full bloom make the whole garden full of spring."

Bingbing nodded: "We have been training new people, and we often tour and exchange cultural activities. Sister Cherry also said that we will select some people from Jinling and Zhuojun to go to Tianzhu for consolation performances and form a Tianzhu Art Troupe."

"That's a good idea. You can arrange for some young couples to go to the Tianzhu Peninsula and settle down there."

Ye Kun thought for a moment and said, "For overseas personnel, we need to increase subsidies and not treat them unfairly."

Overseas immigrants are Ye Kun’s top priority.

Therefore, Ye Kun supports literary and artistic teams, technical teams, and medical and educational teams to go overseas more often.

Only in this way can overseas markets be completely localized in China.

Bingbing thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, if necessary, I can lead the team to Tianzhu myself. If I go, everyone will follow me wholeheartedly."

Tan Bamao smiled evilly and said, "I'm afraid the emperor is reluctant to let you go away..."

"Tan Bamao, shut up!"

Ye Kun gave Tan Bamao a look and said to Bingbing, "You can go, but we need to find a capable person to take charge of the Grand Theater. Don't worry, make arrangements first."

Bingbing nodded.

There are also concerts in the theater at night.

Ye Kun brought Tan Bamao to observe the event on site.

The concert began and the theater was packed.

The stars trained in the Grand Theater took the stage one after another and performed passionately, receiving waves of warm applause.

Tan Bamao laughed softly and said, "Godfather, there are many singers here who are more famous than you. There are the Four Little Flowers, the Alluring Songstress, the Peerless Twins..."

"This is great, it represents the prosperity of the arts."

Ye Kun nodded: "I also plan to hold a national competition to select the 100 most popular stars among the Chinese people, grant them the status of art masters, and recognize their achievements."

"A quail and a monkey actor can also be considered a master?" Tan Bamao grinned.

"What quail actor monkey? You deserve a beating."

Ye Kun said sternly, "I have said long ago that we should advocate equality for all, without any distinction between high and low. These artists have made great contributions to the promotion of Mandarin and Chinese culture, and they are the heroes of the court!"

Nowadays, many overseas businessmen, who have lived in China for a long time and have been influenced by its culture, can sing pop songs.

This is the power of art.

It's probably not possible to force people to sing Chinese songs by relying on guns and cannons.

Foreign laborers would also be organized to learn to sing Chinese songs and recite poetry, which were all means of assimilating foreigners.

"Godfather is right, everyone is equal."

Tan Bamao smiled and whispered, "I heard that Xiahou Chang privately commented on godfather, saying that you are fanciful and not steady enough as an emperor, and that you are a monkey in human form."

Ye Kun was furious: "Xiahou Chang treated me with respect, but how dare he call me a monkey in disguise in private?"
