The most arrogant in history

Chapter 731 West and South Continent.

Ye Kun didn't believe in witchcraft at all.

If the witchcraft of the Tamil Dynasty was really effective, it would be the Tamil Dynasty that went to China instead of being beaten.

Liu Ai and Hu Gaoyuan tried to stop him: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. How can we, the great country of China, agree to the unreasonable demands of the barbarians? Moreover, we would rather believe in the curses of foreign races than not believe in them. Your Majesty's precious body, how can you put yourself in danger?"

Ye Kun shook his head and said with a smile: "Since they are sincere, I should also be sincere. Come, get the golden needle."

Ye Shusheng said: "Father, let me do it!"

"No, I'll do it myself." Ye Kun took the golden needle, pierced his fingertip, and dripped a few drops of blood on the blood curse book of the Tamil messenger.

No contact throughout the process.

Ye Kun was very confident that as long as he didn't touch the blood curse book, dripping blood on it from a distance would have no effect on him!

If you come across a blood curse book, it's hard to say. There may be unknown poisons on the pages that can be infected through wounds and be fatal.

The Tamil envoy was very satisfied. He put away the blood curse book and bowed to express his gratitude.

Ye Kun said: "When you go back, tell your king to move out of the ceded area as soon as possible, and leave the people there to me. If there are less than 30,000 young and strong men, I want you to make up for it."

The envoy nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Emperor Han, we will do it as soon as possible."

Ye Kun also gave a batch of gifts and asked the envoy to take them to the Tamil king.

After the messenger left, Liu Ai looked at the map and said, "Your Majesty, we have seized the land, but the population is too small at present, so I am afraid it will be difficult to develop it."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "In the southern part of Tianzhu, in our controlled area, there are many foreign natives. We can migrate 10,000 or 20,000 of those naturalized natives here to help us build Hanhuang Island."

The Tamil Dynasty was originally established by immigrants from southern India to the island of Ceylon after hundreds of years of development.

But now, the Tamil Empire and India are no longer one family and cannot speak each other's language.

The people of the Indian Peninsula were emigrated to the island of Ceylon;

The people from the island of Ceylon were immigrated to India.

If different races cannot form a joint force, it will be easier to manage them.

The Han Empire had occupied southern India for three years.

Over the past three years, more than a million Indian natives have surrendered. It would be very appropriate to select some obedient and communicative people from among them to build the island of Ceylon.

By recruiting some more natives from the island of Ceylon, mixing them together and bringing them under a unified management, we can start preliminary work.

Liu Ai nodded: "We have been following the emperor's advice. In the past two years, we have also transferred 200,000 Indian workers to Yunmian and Jiaozhi, and placed them in various farms, shipyards, salt fields, or other engineering teams.

We also brought some people over to help us manage the control area.”

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Yes, that's the arrangement. However, we still need to strengthen education and management so that all foreigners can learn simple Chinese and understand instructions to facilitate communication."

This large-scale population movement is unprecedented and global in scale.

The ships of the Han Empire traveled back and forth from the east coast to India day and night, constantly bringing the descendants of the Chinese and the indigenous people of Jiaozhi, southern Myanmar and the Indian continent back to China.

Later generations said that the earth is a village.

Ye Kun has almost done it.

Now, with millions of foreigners, the nine provinces of China have become a hodgepodge.

Fortunately, the shipping industry was vigorously developed and immigration was encouraged, otherwise the large-scale domestic construction would have been ruined by Ye Kun.

Ye Kun stayed in Hanhuang Island for a whole month.

During this period, he met with hundreds of captains and ship captains of civilian sailing teams, encouraging them to participate in overseas construction and immigration.

Gan Yun from the civilian sailing team was also familiar with Ye Kun and said:

"Your Majesty, the court has not made a clear statement about our civilian sailing fleet. Some captains are worried that if they make a lot of money in the future, the court will become jealous and take action against us."

Ye Kun laughed: "The Han Empire is rich, why would it care about your little tricks? Remember, obey the laws of the court, and you will be fine. If you rob your compatriots at sea, or force them to do hard labor, the court will certainly punish you severely."

When the ban on civilian maritime activities was lifted, Sang Buyi and others were worried that these coastal fishermen might eventually become pirates and in turn threaten the court's management.

During the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates became a problem.

In fact, many Japanese pirates were actually fishermen impersonating coastal areas. They took advantage of the situation to rob and harass the coast, making the people suffer and the imperial court uneasy.

The ultimate decline of the Ming Dynasty was also related to the Japanese pirates.

Gan Yun clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured that we will abide by the law. Besides, we have the imperial escort team to supervise us, so we dare not act recklessly."

Ye Kun nodded and said with a smile: "People who have made contributions in the civilian sailing team can also be promoted to officials, or even become high-ranking officials in overseas territories. You should work hard."

Gan Yun grinned and said, "Your Majesty, according to the court's globe, there are two new continents in the West Sea, with a vast area. It is said that there are mountains of gold and silver on the new continents, right?"

“It’s a high-quality gold and silver mine, not a mountain of gold and silver.”

Ye Kun corrected Gan Yun's statement and pointed to the map of South America: "There are indeed huge gold and silver mines in the Western and Southern continents, and the mining value is extremely high. From one pound of ore, one ounce of silver can be refined, and there is also a lot of gold."

There are actually not many gold and silver resources in the Chinese mainland.

It is said that the gold and silver resources in the New World are the most abundant, which is why there are stories of European navigators bravely crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

Gan Yun's eyes lit up: "One pound of ore contains one ounce of silver, which is also a mountain of gold and silver. Your Majesty, if our civilian sailing team can cross the Atlantic Ocean to the New World, is it possible?"

"It will take forty days to cross the Atlantic. Can you do it?"

Ye Kun asked.

The court's Atlantic expeditions, which had been going on for a decade, had introduced crops such as rubber, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and peanuts.

But the losses were heavy.

Of the first batch of warriors, 3,000 people, only more than 700 returned, and more than 700 stayed on the southern Atlantic continent.

In recent years, Ye Kun has ordered that the Atlantic Expeditionary Fleet can return once a year; if it is inconvenient, they can choose not to return and develop locally and build a good base.

Song Poliu's cousin Song Kui stayed on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean and contacted the court every month via telegraph.

Ye Kun has also sent three groups of sailing warriors, with his newlywed wife, to the West Sea and the Southern Continent for support. So far, more than 3,000 people have been sent out, and they have already spread out in the Southern Continent.

However, the population is too small to carry out large-scale prospecting and mining.

The Incas on the southern continent had a very low level of civilization. They only had tribes of varying sizes, but no country.

Song Kui and his companions arrived at the Southern Continent and were worshipped as gods by the local natives.

Following Ye Kun's instructions, Song Kui pretended to be a ghost and combined scientific and technological means to start overseas rule, declaring the southern continent as Chinese territory.

Although he had only a few thousand people, Song Kui controlled a large area of ​​plains, educated tens of thousands of natives, raised horses and farmed on a large scale, and built a small Chinese-style city. He was like the emperor of the Southern Continent.

In the past two years, Song Kui has been looking for people, hoping to send more immigrants over.

But Ye Kun didn't allow it.

Ye Kun was selfish and worried that Song Kui would become too powerful and affect his plan to enfeoff princes.

It is hard to say whether Song Kui will give up control of the Southern Continent after this.

He has been the 'Emperor' of the Southern Continent for ten years. Will he willingly give up his position?

Gan Yun was adventurous and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, if the imperial ships can go to the West Sea and the South Continent, we can go there too. It will take forty days to sail. I think we can hold on."
