PNB Chapter 931 The last court session.
Chapter 931 The last court session.
Ye Kun did not stop them and let Chen Erniu and his family get busy.
Chen Erniu was in the village again and called a few older men to chat with Ye Kun.
Everyone was still skeptical and didn't dare to believe that Ye Kun was the emperor.
Ye Kun ordered Tan Jingang to give gifts to all the villagers, and only then did everyone believe it.
Soon, the food and wine were ready.
Ye Kun drank with a few old men and continued chatting.
"Everyone, let's chat about how you got here." Ye Kun found a topic.
"They all came here on the immigration ship." Everyone started talking.
Most of the elderly people here are the ones whose children immigrated here first. After learning that there were many fields and good conditions here, their parents followed them here.
But there was an old man named Song, who was exiled here by his entire family because of corruption.
Ye Kun looked at the old man and smiled, "What kind of official were you in the past? How much did you embezzle?"
Old man Song blushed: "I used to be the head of the village, and I embezzled 4,000 kilograms of grain and more than 20 taels of silver. I was found out by the Mohist Alliance, and I was expelled from the Mohist identity. My whole family immigrated here. Fortunately, the court only immigrated my whole family and gave me a few hundred acres of land here..."
"You used to be a Mohist, and you're still corrupt?"
Ye Kun smiled and shook his head: "The purpose of our Mohists is to promote benefits and eliminate harm, and to serve the public. You have forgotten the original intention of Mohists."
Old Man Song stood up and admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty is right, it was my fault. I have been regretting it all these years."
Chen Erniu smiled and said, "Old Man Song is quite good. He has been working hard and is very enthusiastic since he came here."
"It is a great honor to admit your mistakes and improve yourself." Ye Kun nodded and said, "I will write you a letter of introduction and you can rejoin the Mohist Alliance. You will make amends and build your new home in the future."
Old Man Song burst into tears of gratitude: "Your Majesty, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
After lunch, Ye Kun said goodbye.
The next morning, Ye Kun led everyone to leave Tianzhu Continent and head to Hanhuang Island.
Ye Chan greeted him at the port.
In the past four or five years, Hanhuangdao has developed better.
The Han population here is close to one million.
But there are still large areas that have not been developed, so we have to take it slow.
Ye Kun asked: "How many aboriginals are there on Hanhuang Island now?"
Ye Chan replied: "There are still 200,000 aborigines, all of whom are male laborers, working in quarries, mines and brick and tile kiln factories in various places. In another ten years, these people will grow old and there will be no aborigines left.
In addition, there are still some indigenous people in the undeveloped mountainous areas. But they are not yet civilized, and the living conditions are poor, so it is difficult for the population to grow. Over time, there are only Chinese Han people here. "
Ye Kun sighed and nodded slightly.
To be honest, I feel sorry for these indigenous people.
However, Ye Kun had no choice. Only in this way could the Han Chinese become the permanent masters of this big island.
Ye Kun also stayed in Hanhuang Island for fifteen days to allow Liu Yuejuan to reunite with her son.
Before leaving, Yuejuan said to her son Ye Chan:
"Chan'er, I'm afraid I won't come back after I leave. I'm by your father's side, and I'm as close to the Empress as sisters. Everything is fine, and you don't have to worry. You are a prince of the Han Dynasty, the overseas king of China, and you should focus on your great cause, build Hanhuang Island, and benefit your people."
Ye Chan knelt down and kowtowed, tears streaming down his face: "Mother, Father, let me accompany you back and serve you and the Queen."
Ye Chan also knew that this farewell would probably be a farewell forever.
Ye Kun waved his hands hastily, pretending to smile and said, "Silly child, we will come again in the future. Why are you crying? It must be hard for your mother to leave you."
Only then did Ye Chan wipe away his tears and control his emotions.
Liu Yuejuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right. We have already developed our airplane. Maybe next time, we can come here by plane."
The first generation of aircraft in Huaxia Science and Technology City has indeed been successfully developed.
It has undergone six test flights, each of which flew hundreds of miles and landed smoothly.
Ye Kun felt that in two or three years, the aircraft might be put into practical use.
When I returned to Zhuo County, it was exactly the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.
Little year.
This Little New Year was also decided by Ye Kun.
Crown Prince Ye Feng and Zhuge Hong, along with civil and military officials, welcomed them at Tianjin Port and took Ye Kun and others all the way to Zhuo County.
Zhuo County has also changed a lot, and the city has undergone its third round of expansion.
The population is larger.
The products are also more abundant and comprehensive.
The latest plastic and rubber products are very popular.
Ye Kun didn't have time to understand the people's situation and went to visit Wen Axiu first.
Because Wen Axiu is sick and is still recuperating in the hospital.
Ye Kun came to the hospital in person and held Wen Axiu's hand: "Axiu, you have worked hard in the past few years."
"Your Majesty, you are back?"
Wen Axiu was very happy. She propped herself up and sat up, saying with a smile, "The Ye Kun Canon has been compiled and will be printed in one month."
"A Xiu, I really blame myself for exhausting your body for this grand ceremony."
Ye Kun hugged Wen Axiu: "From now on, I will never leave you again."
Wen Axiu blushed and whispered, "Your Majesty, thank you..."
Except for Wen Axiu's health complaints, everyone else is in good health.
Gongsun Erniang, Dingding, He Tiantian, and Sun Yi, I hope you are all well.
Ye Kun convened a meeting of nine ministries and announced a decision:
"On the 16th day of the first lunar month next year, I will formally abdicate and Crown Prince Ye Feng will ascend the throne. The Crown Prince is already 40 years old and cannot continue to be the Crown Prince.
After leaving office, I will take the Queen and the others to travel overseas again, and may settle down in Yizhou Island in the future. It is also possible to settle down in Donghua Changdao, which is Fuso Changdao. All major affairs of the world will be left to the Crown Prince and you all."
The prince pretended to refuse.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Son, please let me spend my old age with peace of mind. You are all good and can inherit my business."
Only then did Ye Feng hypocritically agree.
In fact, this kid has been the crown prince for forty years and has been getting anxious for a long time.
If his father doesn't give up his position, he will probably cause the Xuanwu Gate Incident!
Ye Kun announced the second thing: "The Ye Kun Encyclopedia has been compiled. It has a total of 26,000 volumes and more than 17,000 books, including more than 8,000 books from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. Basically, all the books that can be found in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, are included.
In addition, the content we wrote ourselves is of utmost importance. It mainly includes astronomy, geography, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biological research, medical research, mechanical manufacturing and processing, weapons research and exploration, petroleum industry, vehicle engineering, aircraft industry, space exploration, etc.
We printed seven sets in advance, and thirteen sets later, for a total of twenty sets.
The Imperial Library and the National Library in Zhuo County each have a collection of the book. The libraries in Jinling, Chengdu, Chang'an, and Luoyang each have a collection of the book.
The later books will be sent to Izhou Island, Fuso Changdao, Jiaozhi, Tianzhu, Hanhuang Island and other places for treasured collection.
For the storage and maintenance of the ceremony, we will assign full-time personnel and strictly define responsibilities.”
Zhuge Hong said, "Your Majesty, if the ceremony is sent overseas, will there be any hidden dangers?"
The ceremony contains a lot of high-tech knowledge.
There are even drawings.
If it falls into the hands of foreigners, they can easily learn it through study.
At that time, it was like shooting oneself in the foot.
"Overseas is also the Han world, and we should all enjoy Chinese civilization and technology together."
Ye Kun turned to Ye Feng and said, "As the master of the world, you must be under pressure and be enterprising. You must ensure that Chinese technology is ahead of other major fiefdoms overseas. Only in this way can this huge empire be maintained."
Ye Kun was not worried at all about the technology leakage of the ceremony.
Because the ceremony is in the hands of various ministers and princes, it is not easy for foreigners to watch it!
Ye Feng nodded: "I will remember my father's instructions."
Ye Kun nodded and adjourned the meeting.
In fact, Ye Kun knew that this global empire could not last long.
Even though we now have telegraphs, wireless broadcasts, and fast ships, the court's control is very strong, but it cannot prevent the princes and grandchildren from fighting each other in the future!
It is amazing that it can nominally last for two hundred years.
In less than a hundred years, the Mediterranean region, Africa, Europe, and the West Sea continent will all be governed independently.
But Ye Kun has no control over what happens a hundred years later.
He just laid a foundation, which basically ensured that all continents and islands in the world would be ruled by Han people.
……
On the 18th day of the first lunar month, Crown Prince Ye Feng ascended the throne.
Ye Kun officially abdicated and became the emperor emeritus.
Jiang Yourong and others naturally became queen mothers.
On the 15th day of March, it was a bright and beautiful spring day. Ye Kun, along with Jiang Yourong and others, set out to sea for Yizhou Island.
Of course, it has now become the Taiwan and Penghu Provinces.
Dai Xi, now with a head full of white hair, was waiting eagerly at the port with his son Ye Lesheng.
When the ship docked, Dai Xi was so excited that he dropped his crutches and opened his arms to embrace Jiang Yourong: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I've been waiting for you to come!"
