The most arrogant in history

Chapter 650: Killer Crab.

Yu Guinong was in Southeast Asia and often sent telegrams back to report on the situation.

There were endless amounts of bison, wild sheep and other wild animals to eat.

Even if we don't farm, we can still eat more beef and mutton.

Ye Kun knew this. It was said that there were tens of millions of bison on the Australian island at that time.

But there are giant spiders, killer crabs, various poisonous snakes and pythons, and boxing master kangaroos...

There are also poisonous mosquitoes. One bite from you can take half your life!

Yu Guinong is now the king of the Nanyang continent. On the one hand, he is very happy, but on the other hand, he is also frustrated.

Because he knew that it would take countless generations to build the South Sea continent into a paradise.

Xiahou Chang smiled and said, "If the emperor says so, is our occupation of overseas countries beneficial or harmful? Are we making a profit or a loss?"

Ye Kun pointed at the map and said, "Why do humans kill each other? It's to compete for resources. Resources include land, rivers, minerals, and even women. Land resources are the most precious, so everyone wants to expand their territory.

China lacks oil resources. But whoever has oil will be the boss in a hundred years. China lacks copper, gold and silver resources, but there are a lot of gold, silver and copper mines overseas.

So occupying overseas is, in general, profitable.”

Xiahou Chang frowned: "Your Majesty, I want to challenge you."

Ye Kun nodded and asked Xiahou Chang to speak boldly.

Xiahou Chang said: "Even if you send other princes overseas, they will still be divided into different factions after a few hundred years. At that time, the gold, silver, copper, iron and oil from overseas will still not be able to reach the nine provinces of China. If this happens, won't our efforts now be in vain?"

Ye Kun sighed: "You are right. Future separatism is inevitable. However, China is technologically advanced. Once a powerful leader emerges, he may use technology to control overseas again.

Even if we can’t, we have also transported the Chinese bloodline to all parts of the world, completed the blood transfusion, and provided a wider living space for the descendants of the Chinese.”

East Asians, especially the Chinese, have a persistent belief in great unification in their blood.

Every emperor wants to control the whole world.

Therefore, the emperor of China is also called the Son of Heaven.

If a hundred years later, the descendants of the princes who were granted fiefdoms overseas established their own regimes, and a powerful ruler like the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor appeared in the Nine Provinces of China and used advanced technology to once again control overseas areas by force, it would be normal.

At that time, the majority of the world's population were descendants of the Chinese, and things were unified and much simpler.

Ye Kun added: "As long as we continue to develop technology, I think it will not be a problem for the Chinese court to permanently control Jiaozhi and the Tianzhu Peninsula. Our ships will become faster and faster, and supply transportation and immigration will be very convenient.

In the east, we will also permanently control the Donghua Peninsula and Fusang Long Island. And the northern prairie must also be controlled by the Chinese court. "

Xiahou Chang finally understood Ye Kun's overall plan and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty is right. Jiaozhi has been completely absorbed and will never be separated. As for the original Goguryeo and Fusang Long Island, as well as the prairie, they are all within easy reach and will definitely belong to China forever."

Ye Kun looked at the map and sighed slightly.

In fact, after taking over the entire Jiaozhi Peninsula, the entire Indian subcontinent, the northern prairie and Fuso Island, the final territory of China was almost 20 million square kilometers.

This seems to be a limit.

Ye Kun had no idea whether he could control the Middle East Peninsula in the future.

Xiahou Chang looked at Ye Kun and asked again, "Your Majesty, when will my son Xiahou Jun be able to return to Zhuo County and head to Tianzhu?"

Ye Kun calculated: "Xiahou Jun has already set out ten days ago. It is estimated that he will reach Zhuo County in another ten days. After resting for a while, let him lead the troops to Tianzhu."

Xiahou Chang sighed: "It's a pity that I'm old, otherwise, I would also like to expand the territory for China."

"You should just take care of yourself and become a senior think tank for the court."

"Your Majesty, I also want to go to Chang'an. I heard that the new city of Chang'an is more prosperous than the old city..."

“It’s prosperous for sure.”

Ye Kun nodded: "You can go to Chang'an to have a look, but the same thing applies. You have to pay for your own expenses and not disturb the people. You know, Wu Qiong is very strict in controlling the expenses of the court and does not allow us to spend money recklessly."

Xiahou Chang laughed: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I still have the money for the trip to Chang'an."

When he surrendered to Ye Kun, Xiahou Chang retained a large amount of wealth, which even his grandson could not eat up.

Ye Kun also knew about this situation and deliberately squeezed Xiahou Chang, forcing him to pay for his own expenses and save money for the court.

In this case, Xiahou Chang went to Chang'an at his own expense, bringing dozens of followers with him. The food and drink expenses along the way can be regarded as the prosperity of the tourism industry in the Han Dynasty and a contribution to the growth of Jidifu.

The spring affairs are finally almost done.

Ye Kun also assigned tasks and pointed out directions to the science and technology city and the university.

March 16th is an auspicious day.

Ye Kun went to court and said to the civil and military officials: "In two days, I will go to Yizhou for inspection. The important affairs of the court should be handled by the Nine Departments. Tan Bamao and Crown Prince Ye Feng were in the Nine Departments to handle the government.

Jiang Youbao is still in charge of the defense of the Imperial City and the Inner City. Qin Erwu is in charge of the defense of Zhuo County."

Sang asked without question: "How long will it take for the emperor to come back?"

Ye Kun thought for a moment and said, "As long as the nine ministries are functioning normally, they can handle all state affairs. Even if I don't come back for three years, what's the harm? However, I estimate that I will be back by the end of the year."

Ma Zhao was surprised: "Will this inspection take seven or eight months?"

Ye Kun nodded: "I will go from the Central Plains to Hanzhong, then to Yizhou, and then to Chang'an and the Western Regions. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in seven or eight months. Don't worry, I have a car radio and can contact me by telegram at any time."

No one dared to persuade him anymore.

Ye Kun added: "I will only bring about a thousand people this time, so there will be no waste. I will take care of all the expenses myself, and will not spend the court's money."

Sang Buyi said, "No, the emperor needs at least 2,000 guards when he goes on tour, otherwise we won't feel at ease."

Ye Kun waved his hand and said, "No need. Huang Jingzu and Cheng Yulong, come with me on the tour. Just bring 200 guards each. The rest of the entourage doesn't need to be too many."

Sang Buyi had no choice but to obey, and then asked, "When will the emperor leave? This old minister will respectfully see you off."

"March 20th, I'll leave. All the people and belongings are ready. You don't have to see me off. Just do your job well."

Ye Kun waved his hand and announced the end of the court.

The palace was already in an uproar.

The concubines who followed Ye Kun out were all in high spirits.

The happiest person was Xie Baochan, because she could return to her hometown Chengdu after a long absence.

Ye Kun called everyone to a meeting in Fengyi Palace to confirm the accompanying list, and then said:

"We will travel light this time, so you can't bring too many followers. Each of you can only bring four maids. In addition, princes over fifteen years old can accompany you to broaden their horizons."

Everyone laughed and said, "Four maids are enough."

Ye Kun nodded and said, "If you really don't have enough manpower, we can recruit them at any time while we are on the road."

Being an emperor has its benefits.

All the officials passing through various places were his entourage.

Huang Ye also accompanied them and asked, "Your Majesty, you have not announced the route of this inspection. Now that we are about to set off, you can announce the route so that we can make arrangements."
