The most arrogant in history

Chapter 421: Meeting an old friend again.

"Nonsense!" Ye Kun glared and said with a stern face:

"How can we, the great Chinese nation, a country of etiquette, do such shameless things? We are civilized people, not robbers!"

Song Poliu stuck out her tongue in fear.

Ye Kun suddenly smiled again:

"But we can do business and make money. For example, porcelain bowls can be exchanged for silver, one pound for one pound; colored glass beads can be exchanged for gold. And iron pots, toothbrushes, tooth powder, soap, anything, can't we make a lot of money?"

Song Poliu laughed: "Once Principal Ye said that, I understood."

Ye Kun nodded and continued to analyze:

"Once you cross the Indian Peninsula and reach the coast of Africa, you will be invincible. The people there are all black-skinned and may have just learned to make clothes out of animal skins. Their weapons are javelins and stones."

Song Poliu smiled and said, "Then if we have a hundred heavily armored soldiers, we can sweep across the world."

"That's about it." Ye Kun turned the globe:

"From the west coast of Africa, go directly into the Atlantic Ocean. If you don't get lost, you can reach the New World in a month. This section of the journey is the most dangerous. The vast ocean and the risks are unpredictable. You must be fully prepared."

Song Poliu nodded and asked again: "How many people are there in this new world? Are they powerful?"

"They should have a large population, but they were not very powerful. At that time, they had not yet invented the wheel. They used a kind of black stone called obsidian as weapons. It was like glass, very brittle and easy to break."

Ye Kun searches for the knowledge in his memory:

“There are no horses in that new world, but there are buffaloes, lions, and huge tropical rain forests, which are larger than all the old forests in our south combined.

There is also a big river there, which has a much larger flow than our Yangtze River and Yellow River combined.”

Song Poliu was dumbfounded: "Is there really such a good place in the world?"

We have all learned geography with Ye Kun and know that where there are rivers, there are alluvial plains and arable land.

In fact, there is really not much arable land in South America.

The Amazon rainforest is even more impossible to develop.

Ye Kun sighed and said, "Don't think about other people's good places. Don't forget what your goal is for this voyage."

Song Poliu nodded: "The goal is to improve the globe and map, and to find potatoes, corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, and rubber trees."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Yes, this is the mission of your first voyage. After you come back, I will organize a second, larger voyage, also an expedition. At that time, we can turn the New World into an overseas enclave of China."

With Ye Kun's current strength, after unifying China, it is possible to expedition to the new continents of the north and south.

By sending a team of 50,000 people, we can bring the Chinese civilization over there, turn the tables, occupy a dominant position, and then develop and multiply rapidly.

In fact, Ye Kun is not a warmonger and has no ambition for expansion.

However, when thinking about the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, the Yuan and Mongolian cavalry, the Eight Banners' invasion of the Central Plains, and the bullying by the West and foreign powers in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, Ye Kun felt that he still had to leave glory and blood to future generations.

Even if we cannot control the New World for a long time in the future, we can tell our descendants that our ancestors once conquered this land!

This training course will last for two more days.

Because Ye Kun has a lot of things to recall and confirm.

The meeting minutes are then sorted out, checked again, and handed over to the sailing team.

Song Poliu asked, "Principal Ye, when do you think we can set off?"

Ye Kun thought for a moment and said, "Get ready and set off immediately. Then you can cross the Qiongzhou Strait, make repairs in the Beibu Gulf, and continue on your way. If everything goes well, you can cross the Atlantic Ocean in winter."

It was still June, and winter was still a few months away.

By stopping and going, you can cover tens of thousands of kilometers in a month, and you can complete the feat of crossing the Atlantic Ocean in winter.

The biggest risk is typhoon.

So Ye Kun ordered to sail along the coastline and not enter the deep sea.

Be aware of climate change and do your best to avoid risks.

Song Poliu calculated the time and nodded, "We can set off in ten days. The fleet can be supplied in the North Sea."

Ye Kun clasped his fists solemnly: "Have a safe journey! Come back safely soon!"

After arranging the long-distance expedition, Ye Kun returned to Jinling City to continue to improve the combat deployment.

Tan Bamao came to report: "Godfather, there is a young lady who wants to see you."

"Who is it? What do you want from me?"

"She didn't say who she was, and she was wearing a veil, so it was hard to see clearly."

Tan Bamao chuckled: "But, that girl has a great figure and smells good, godfather will definitely like her."

"Fuck you! Your godfather is old and doesn't like beautiful women anymore." Ye Kun glared, "Bring that girl in."

Tan Bamao chuckled, turned around and led in a girl.

The girl was indeed wearing a veil and a white dress. She looked ethereal, tall and graceful.

Ye Kun clasped his fists and said, "Excuse me, who are you, young lady? What do you want from me?"

"I have met the King of Han."

The veiled girl bowed and said with a smile, "Two years ago, the King of Han boasted that he would let all the people in Jiangnan drink meat soup. I wonder if this has been accomplished today?"

"You are... Miss Xiao Ruliu?"

Ye Kun then remembered and bowed again, saying with a smile: "Welcome back to your hometown, Miss Xiao. Ye Kun is sorry for not welcoming you from afar."

"The King of Han has a good memory. He actually still remembers me."

Xiao Ruliu took off her mask, revealing her beautiful face, and said with a smile: "I am just an ordinary girl now, so I dare not trouble the King of Han to come and greet me."

"Miss Xiao, please don't be polite. Please take a seat."

Ye Kun offered him a seat, ordered tea to be served, and asked, "Miss Xiao, weren't you with your elder brother in Shouchun City? How did you get back to Jinling?"

"I sneaked here." Xiao Ruliu smiled mischievously.

"So, is Guo Tai still in good health?"

"My mother is well. She often talks about you, saying that you are a benevolent and righteous king. If it weren't for your kindness and righteousness, we, mother and daughter, would have died long ago."

Xiao Ruliu sighed: "Mother also persuaded my brother to submit to you, but my brother held a grudge and was unwilling to submit."

"Thank you for your compliment, Queen Mother." Ye Kun didn't care and said with a smile, "I know your second brother Xiao Dequan holds a grudge and will not surrender. But it's okay, it won't affect anything."

In Ye Kun's eyes, Xiao Dequan is now not worth mentioning.

Xiao Ruliu took a sip of tea and said:

"I sneaked back and saw that the people in the south of the Yangtze River were peaceful and prosperous. It can be seen that the King of Han has made great contributions in the past two years and has been very kind to the people."

"Thank you for the compliment, young lady. I happen to be free, so I'll accompany you to Jinling City and revisit the old place."

Ye Kun smiled.

Xiao Ruliu nodded, put on a veil, and went out with Ye Kun.

Ye Kun rode a horse and arranged a luxurious carriage for Xiao Ruliu to go shopping together.

I don’t know why, the two of them had no intersection before, but this meeting was like a reunion of old friends, and they felt very comfortable.
