The most arrogant in history

Chapter 798: The condolence delegation.

In fact, after returning to farming and immigrating, they paid tribute five times and sent fleets back to the country, bringing back some Australian specialties and local buffalo skins.

But the journey is too long and not cost-effective.

The risks are also high.

Ye Kun instructed Yu Guinong that he didn't need to pay tribute every year, but should focus on development first and make another decision after three to five years.

In recent years, Yu Guinong has not come to pay tribute, but has only contacted China via telegrams to express his loyalty to the Chinese.

But in recent years, the construction of the Australian mainland has been good.

The local indigenous people have completely surrendered to returning to farming and are also actively learning Chinese writing and language, as well as the Han people's hygiene and living habits.

Yu Guinong built several small towns on the Australian continent, separating his tribesmen and allowing each of them to govern a different area and spread out.

There are so many buffaloes in Australia that people are tired of eating beef.

There is a lot of arable land, but there is no shortage of food, so it is not developed too much, and only the supply of carbohydrates is guaranteed.

Ye Kun also comforted the Han Chinese immigrants on the Australian island, saying that they did not need to be too anxious and should focus on developing the population. In another ten or twenty years, when the total Han Chinese population reached 300,000 or 400,000, it would not be too late to start vigorous construction.

According to the current situation, the Chinese people on the island of Australia are about to usher in a population explosion.

The next day, Zhao Biao and his son came to see him.

Ye Kun looked at Zhao Biao in front of him, speechless for a long time.

Zhao Biao burst into tears and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty is so kind and righteous that he spared the lives of my father and me. Every time I think of it, I feel that I have failed the Majesty and the friendship we had when we became sworn brothers..."

Ye Kun sighed slightly: "Are you doing well on the farm?"

"I am old and sick all over. I am afraid I will not live long."

Zhao Biao shed tears: "After I die, I will be buried in three feet of yellow earth. But for these four useless and rebellious sons, please have mercy on them, Your Majesty."

"Your son is trying to establish his own regime, which is tantamount to treason. Logically speaking, this is a serious crime that will punish the entire clan."

Ye Kun pondered, "I don't want to kill anyone, and I remember the brotherhood we had, so I absolved you of your guilt. Your children and grandchildren, more than a hundred in total, why don't you... immigrate overseas? Let's part ways and live in peace."

Zhao Biao was horrified: "Your Majesty, is this... exile?"

"It's not exile, it's immigration. I will ensure that your sons and grandchildren will live a good life in the future."

Ye Kun pointed at the Jizui Peninsula and said, "This is a good place, with a vast area and few people. When you are a hundred years old, let your children and grandchildren move there together, find a suitable piece of land, and reproduce and develop there."

At this time, the population of Jizui Peninsula was still very small.

Many indigenous people died during the war.

Some of the remaining indigenous people were brought into the country as laborers.

Ye Kun has also recruited hundreds of thousands of immigrants from the country several times to develop and manage the Jizui Peninsula. Now, more than ten years have passed, and the total Han population there is less than 500,000.

There are at least three to five hundred people from the Zhao Biao family who can be sent over.

Zhao Biao expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Ye Kun pointed at Zhao Biao's four sons and said, "When you go to the Donghua Peninsula, remember that you are Chinese forever and must safeguard the unity of China. If you dare to have any intention of separatism again, I will definitely exterminate your entire clan without mercy!

Don’t think that overseas is far away. Our technology is advancing rapidly. In the future, the vast ocean will be nothing more than a bathtub. We can fly across it quickly! "

Zhao Biao's son kowtowed together: "I dare not. When I go overseas, I will just be an ordinary citizen, promote Chinese culture, and maintain the unity of China. I will never have second thoughts again."

"Then go back and prepare, contact your relatives and friends, and take away everything you can."

Ye Kun waved his hand and said, "I will give you three thousand taels of gold as your immigration fee. I will help you arrange the ship to go out to sea."

That year, when Zhao Biao's property was confiscated, Ye Kun secretly withheld hundreds of thousands of taels of gold as his own petty cash.

Returning the three thousand taels can be considered as taking care of Zhao Biao's entire family.

Zhao Biao and his son thanked him and said goodbye together.

Coincidentally, another telegram came from Australia saying that Yu Guinong had died.

Ye Kun sighed, feeling a little sad.

The relationship between himself and Yu Guinong, as the emperor and his subject, finally had a good beginning and a good end.

Yu Guinong immigrated to Australia and suffered a lot.

However, if this guy stayed in China, I am afraid Ye Kun would not let him go and would not have allowed him to live until today.

In this world, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.

For returning farmers to immigrate to Australia, it was both painful and fortunate.

At least, he saved his family and became an overseas king. He lived a carefree life in the last ten years of his life, just like an emperor.

Ye Kun thought about it and gave Yu Guinong a high evaluation, praising him for his dedication to the people, going overseas for China, expanding the territory, overcoming difficulties on the island of Australia, and educating the people.

After returning the call, Ye Kun called Prince Ye Feng and Zhuge Hong and said:

"Yu Guinong has passed away. I plan to send a condolence delegation to comfort Yu Guinong's children, grandchildren and family members. You should prepare and bring a batch of important supplies and some technical personnel to Australia Island.

You can also contact the civilian sailing team and bring more goods over. When you come back, bring back a batch of special products. "

Zhuge Hong asked: "How big should the condolence delegation be?"

"A few dozen people are enough for the condolence delegation. Bring more technical teams and accompanying personnel."

Ye Kun pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to Dasong Island and Datang Island to take a look, appease the princes, and give them some rewards. Give five of the latest medium-sized steamships to Dasong Island and Datang Island respectively. Also give five to Australia Island to facilitate their operations."

Zhuge Hong nodded and did it immediately.

Ye Kun was fine now, so he went back to the Science and Technology City to practice in seclusion and tackle problems with the scientific and technological personnel.

A mature gasoline engine has been developed.

As usual, start the water pump first to check whether the power is stable and the quality is up to standard.

According to on-site tests, the gasoline engine is still acceptable. It is small in size, has stable workmanship and is very efficient.

He Tiantian smiled and said: "If such a sophisticated machine is promoted to the public, it can solve all irrigation problems."

"But the cost is very high, and the public cannot afford it, and there is not enough gasoline."

Ye Kun shrugged and said with a smile: "I suggest that we first build a batch of gasoline speedboats for the postal industry to achieve fast communication along the Yangtze River and the canal. The theoretical speed of a gasoline speedboat can reach 100 kilometers per hour.

Let's be conservative and go with 60 kilometers per hour. In this way, it will only take one day to travel more than 2,000 miles from Zhuojun to Qiantang."

He Tiantian nodded and asked again: "Are we only developing gasoline speedboats for the time being?"

"We can also study gasoline motorcycles, two-wheeled and three-wheeled ones. We can also study gasoline cars."

"The gasoline motorcycle and car projects have been approved and are being developed."

He Tiantian nodded, and took Ye Kun to see the latest inflatable inner tube.

Today's pneumatic inner tubes have been tested and are basically usable.

Ye Kun was very surprised and said with a smile: "When tire technology is fully mature, we can vigorously develop the automobile industry. Our automobile industry has always been in the research stage and has hardly been put into actual operation. I have been waiting for this day for more than ten years."
