The most arrogant in history

Chapter 416: Beauty has a tragic fate.

Ye Kun laughed out loud, feeling happy.

It seems that Guan Yafu's recommendation of his son Guan Bao to be in charge of Yizhou was a very good suggestion.

Qin Erwu stared at Madam Hongyun and asked, "Brother, I heard that this sister-in-law is also a great general with great martial arts skills, right?"

Ye Kun nodded: "Yes, Madam Hongyun is a heroine, amazing."

Madam Hongyun also raised her eyebrows at Qin Erwu: "General Qin, don't you believe me? Do you want to spar with me?"

"Don't dare."

Qin Erwu was so frightened that he clasped his fists repeatedly.

It's not worth it to fight with my sister-in-law and get beaten.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Madam Hongyun, let your sister Baochan accompany you to visit Chengdu these two days. Your southern part is full of mountains and old forests, but there are no such large plains and big cities."

Madam Hongyun nodded and bowed to Xie Baochan again: "Sister, I will ask you to take good care of me in the future."

Xie Baochan smiled and said, "I am also a younger sister. Sister Yourong is the older sister. But Sister Yourong is still in Xiangyang and has not come here."

Hongyun nodded, and followed Ye Kun through the city, admiring the prosperity of Chengdu.

Arriving in front of the university, Madam Hongyun looked at the five-story building, the glass windows and the tiles, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Is this the legendary heavenly palace? How can it be so magnificent and bright? How was the building built so high?"

Xie Baochan smiled and said, "These glasses and tiles were all made by our husband. There are many other exquisite porcelain and glass in the exhibition hall. I'll take you to see them tomorrow."

The development of Chengdu City was a thousand years ahead of the Southern Wilderness area.

It was almost in a primitive state over there, as if people had just learned how to wear clothes and use fire.

Mrs. Hongyun had seen porcelain and glass brought by merchants, but she had never seen a building like this.

Madam Hongyun's entourage and the young hostages brought from the Southern Wilderness were all stunned and amazed.

This group of young hostages all had their followers, totaling over a thousand people.

Ye Kun instructed Guan Bao:

“This group of young people from the Southern Wilderness will be gathered together for three months of training. We will teach them some simple characters and languages, etiquette and hygiene, and then they will be incorporated into the school and begin systematic education.

We will train them into talents within five years.”

Guan Bao nodded and asked again: "How are you treated in life?"

"Just treat them like military school students." Ye Kun looked at Madam Hongyun and asked, "Madam, do you have any other requests?"

Among this group of young men from the Southern Wilderness, there are more than a hundred who are Madam Hongyun’s people.

Madam Hongyun smiled and said, "I have no requirements, just enough food and warm clothes."

Ye Kun nodded and handed these young men over to Guan Bao for arrangement.

After a day of rest, Ye Kunzhen took Xie Baochan and Madam Hongyun to the outskirts of Chengdu for a secret visit to understand people's livelihood.

The people live quite well, and apart from the 20 percent agricultural tax, they have no other burdens.

The goal of ensuring food and clothing for everyone has been achieved.

Overall health has also improved a lot.

Madam Hongyun was very envious and sighed:

"It's very rich here, much better than our southern mountains. In the southern mountains, although you can hunt, it's also very dangerous. Many people go into the forest and never come back."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "That's because the people of Yizhou are willing to work hard."

Madam Hongyun nodded and suddenly asked, "There are no mountains here, where do you go to hunt? Why do you have meat to eat every day?"

Xie Baochan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ye Kun couldn't help laughing and said, "We raise pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and fish here, so of course we have meat to eat."

In the vast mountains of the southern wilderness, many people don’t even know how to raise animals.

They only know how to fish in a dried-up pond and hunt in a burned-down forest.

Xie Baochan said: "In fact, the mountains in the south are not poor, but rich. It is precisely because people can hunt in the mountains that they are unwilling to raise livestock and plants. We have no place to hunt here, so people are forced to farm and raise pigs."

Madam Hongyun sighed, "But there are too many people, and there isn't enough prey in the mountains to eat."

"So Shamoko is coming to rob me and fight with me."

Ye Kun nodded: "Population expansion will lead to resource shortages, and then people will fight for land and resources. This is a social law. But in two years, the south will be very different. The professionals I send will transform the mountains in the south into a wealthy place."

The entire territory of Nanyun Prefecture now has a total population of less than one million.

With this small base, if you learn some land reclamation and vegetable planting and breeding techniques, you can achieve food and clothing.

After staying in Chengdu for several days and settling the young man from Southern Wilderness he brought with him, Ye Kun prepared to go to Xiangyang.

Unexpectedly, urgent news came from Xiangyang.

Jiang Youde is seriously ill and in a coma.

Ye Kun felt a pain in his heart. Without time to pack up, he immediately set off and took a boat to Tianmen County.

Xie Baochan and Madam Hongyun arrived a step later.

The waterway was clear and we arrived at Tianmen County in two days.

Ye Kun changed to a thousand-mile horse and led his personal troops to rush towards Xiangyang.

The fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival.

Ye Kun returned to Xiangyang City and went to see Jiang Youde first without saying a word.

Jiang Youde was very thin, looking like he weighed only 70 kilograms, and was sleeping soundly.

"Youde, I'm back." Ye Kun felt a sharp pain in his heart and held Jiang Youde's hand:

"You will be fine. You will be fine. We will have a good cotton harvest this year, and we will build many weaving mills..."

Tears flowed down Ye Kun's face.

Jiang Yourong and others were crying on the side.

Dai Xi whispered, "Don't be sad, my husband. The doctors are still preparing medicine. There will definitely be a solution."

Ye Kun shook his head, called a doctor and asked about the situation.

The doctors were all trembling with fear and said, "Your Majesty, we have tried every possible method, but there is nothing we can do. Penicillium was effective on other people, but it is not effective on Madam Youde."

"Think of another way and do your best to rescue him!"

"Yes, we are currently consulting..."

Jiang Yourong also knew that her sister was hopeless, so she took Youde's hand and shook it gently: "Youde, wake up and look at me again, okay?"

Unexpectedly, Youde really woke up, opened his eyes wide, and searched around.

Ye Kun's heart ached, and he hugged Jiang Youde: "Youde, I'm back. I'm sorry that I didn't take good care of you. Don't worry, I won't leave and will always be with you."

Youde gradually came to his senses and forced a smile: "Brother Kun, you're back? That's great, that's great... Hold me tight, hold me tight... Otherwise, if I die, I won't be able to find you..."

Ye Kun burst into tears: "Youde, you won't die, our weaving factory is still waiting for you!"

Jiang Yourong couldn't help it and ran out and burst into tears.

The third sister was talented and hurried out to take care of her sister.

At this moment, Jiang Youde snuggled in Ye Kun's arms and passed away suddenly.

Ye Kun was sad but couldn't cry. He just hugged Youde and his mind was blank.

He owns vast territory and can travel across the world, but he cannot save Jiang Youde.
