The most arrogant in history

Chapter 685: Conspiracy in the Villa.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "It's okay. The flat earth theory and the round earth theory don't affect the lives of ordinary people. But we need smart people and top scientists to explore the universe and create better living conditions for ordinary people.

If there is no smart person, we can’t even come up with a calendar, which will affect people’s lives.”

Jia Santai nodded: "Your Majesty is right, the flat earth theory and the round earth theory have no effect on ordinary people."

Not to mention ancient times, even in the intelligent age of later generations, an ordinary person standing on the earth cannot imagine that the earth is a sphere and cannot perceive the earth's rotation.

But it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t prevent everyone from eating, drinking, and working.

Ordinary people don’t care about gravity, relativity, or quantum entanglement.

There's no point caring, you don't understand.

So we only care about food, clothing, housing, transportation and a good life.

But in the whole society, there must always be a group of smart people to explore the truth of the universe, tell everyone, and provide guidance for the lives of ordinary people.

Jia Santai continued to report on the progress of other disciplines in the university.

The Department of Chemistry and the Department of Metallurgy have achieved the most results, and have developed some new materials and new alloys.

There has also been great progress in physics research, but the results are all theoretical and have not been translated into practical technology.

Moreover, the physics achievements learned in college did not exceed Ye Kun’s existing knowledge reserves.

After listening to the report, Ye Kun said:

"Our scientific research work is under the responsibility of two departments. One is the Science and Technology City, and the other is the university. Universities not only teach and educate people, but also have to take on the responsibility of scientific research. We cannot push all the tasks of scientific research to the Science and Technology City.

So I arranged that university science professors and experts from the science and technology city should be inseparable, have multiple roles, and communicate constantly.

As for your achievements, not all of them are on paper. Many of them come from the laboratories in the Science and Technology City. "

Jia Santai nodded: "We have always obeyed the emperor's will, applied what we have learned, and combined theory with practice. In recent years, several of our chemistry professors have been injured or even lost their lives while doing experiments.

Our science professors spend half of their time in the Science City Experimental Center or school laboratories."

Guo Ping proved on the side: "This is true. The experts in the science and technology city are also university professors. Most of the university science professors are also experts in the science and technology city."

"That's good. We need to stick to this model."

Ye Kun affirmed the university's achievements and instructed: "I also want to hold a science and technology conference and a theoretical conference in Chengdu. Principal Jia, please arrange a time for it to be held in five days. Let's talk about your recent research results."

In fact, more than half of the staff in Chengdu’s Science and Technology City have been laid off by Ye Kun.

The current highest level of technology is in Zhuo County.

But Ye Kun still has hope for Chengdu, because Chengdu's modern mathematics, physics and chemistry education started the earliest and has the best foundation.

Maybe you can meet a few scientific geniuses in Yizhou.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when we left Tiangong University and returned to the inn.

Xie Baochan hadn't slept yet, waiting for Ye Kun, begging, "Your Majesty, my brother from my mother's family has arranged everything. Please do me the honor of coming over for dinner tomorrow..."

Xie Baochan's parents have both passed away.

She is the eldest daughter, and Ye Kun is both the emperor and the eldest brother-in-law of the Xie family.

Both of his parents-in-law are gone, so as the eldest brother-in-law, Ye Kun doesn't have to visit his brother-in-law.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Of course I have to give Concubine Bao face. Tomorrow morning, I will accompany you back to your parents' home."

Xie Baochan was happy then: "Tomorrow morning, my two younger brothers will come in person to invite the emperor."

Ye Kun nodded and accompanied Xie Baochan to rest.

the next day.

Jiang Yourong stayed in the inn and, together with Mrs. Guo Ping, hosted a banquet for the wives of local officials and held an integrity education meeting.

Whether an official is honest or not has a lot to do with his wife.

If an official’s wife loves money, most of the officials will be dragged into it.

If the wife of an official is virtuous and loves the people, the official will also be influenced and restrained.

Ye Kun accompanied Xie Baochan to visit Xie's home.

The Xie family is still a large family in Chengdu, on par with the Han family, and is evergreen.

Twenty days ago, when the Xie family got the news, they cleaned up a large house and arranged a separate courtyard for Ye Kun and Xie Baochan to stay for a while.

Ye Kun saw the courtyard specially prepared for him, frowned slightly, and sighed to Xie Baochan:

"In the past, Emperor Wen planned to build an observation deck in the imperial palace, but after calculating the expenses, he found that it would take the total assets of ten middle-class families to build it, so he gave up the idea.

Although the residence in front of him was not newly built, it was decorated very luxuriously. The money used was probably the total assets of ten middle-class families.

Princess Bao, tell your brother not to waste money like this in the future."

Xie Baochan nodded: "I have already criticized my two younger brothers. The emperor has always been frugal. Their brothers' behavior makes the emperor embarrassed."

Ye Kun held Xie Baochan's hand: "After all, we have been married for many years, and Concubine Bao knows my feelings."

Needless to say, the food and wine at noon were plentiful.

There are also cabaret performances.

Ye Kun enjoyed the singing and dancing, and asked Xie Baochan and her brothers to talk to him privately:

"The imperial court has been controlling the aristocratic families. Even Guan Bao went on a killing spree in the six counties of Jiangdong. Because the aristocratic families control local government affairs, they are extremely harmful to the imperial court. The Xie family and the Han family in Chengdu have already attracted attention."

Xie Baochan was startled: "Your Majesty, the Xie family has made great contributions to the country, the court will not..."

"Don't worry, Princess."

Ye Kun waved his hand and said with a smile: "What I mean is that the Xie family and the Han family should be more restrained. Do business properly and never bully others. If you really commit a crime and are targeted by Ma Zhao, it will not be fun."

In fact, the Han family and the Xie family have always been the ones that attract attention.

Over the years, Ye Kun has been warning the Xie family from time to time through Xie Baochan, which is why nothing has happened.

Several brothers-in-law were very scared and asked in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, there are more than 30,000 Xie family members in Chengdu, including their sons-in-law, servants, and followers. There are also several thousand caravans traveling outside.

Should we control this population size? If not, we can just move all the sons-in-law, servants, and dependent farmers of the Xie family away."

Ye Kun smiled strangely:

"The population size does not need to be reduced, it can continue to increase. Strengthen management and prevent crime. Because in the future, I will still rely on you to protect Ye Shusheng and conquer overseas.

The child of Shu was smart, both civil and military, and was no less capable than the Crown Prince Ye Feng.

In my opinion, if Shu Sheng stays in the Huaxia Continent, he and Crown Prince Ye Feng may end up killing each other. "

Xie Baochan and others all changed color and looked frightened when they heard this.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I plan to let Shusheng go overseas to become an emperor and establish a Chinese overseas vassal state. In this way, both brothers will be emperors and have vast territories. Isn't that great?"

Xie Baochan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"The emperor also said last time that he plans to wait for Shu Sheng to grow up, go to the Mediterranean area, establish himself as a king, and become a vassal state of China. The emperor also said that the Mediterranean area is richer than the Chinese mainland."

Ye Shusheng's uncles became excited and clasped their fists and said, "Your Majesty, we are willing to put on armor and hold weapons to conquer the world for Prince Ye Shusheng!"

"I have troops to help you conquer the world.

Ye Kun pointed at Ye Shusheng and said, "Now, I am just waiting for Shusheng to grow up."

Ye Shusheng frowned, "Father, if we wait until I grow up to act, it will take time. The military power of our Great Han has spread to the eastern part of Dayuan. I suggest that all the Xie family members of Yizhou be relocated to Dayuan.

Take over Dayuan, use Dayuan as a springboard, build a base camp, and look for opportunities to continue advancing westward!

When we have built our base in Dayuan, I will be grown up and can lead the troops myself to conquer the Mediterranean region for my father."

Ye Kun was surprised and looked at Ye Shusheng, speechless for a moment.

This kid is only fourteen years old, but he has such vision and courage. It's not simple.
