Chapter 938 Aboriginal Tour Group.
After reading Xiao Ruliu's telegram, Ye Kun felt a little amused and angry.
Because Xiao Ruliu's two princes have also reached adulthood.
They got married and each had several sons, who were the emperor's grandsons.
With so many imperial grandchildren on Xihua Island, how could this lineage be cut off?
The two princes are still young and can still have children.
If he married a few more concubines, I wonder how many grandchildren he would have in the future!
Xiao Ruliu cried like this, obviously wanting people and supplies.
Ye Kun thought about it and called back:
"I know that the conditions on Xihua Island are difficult. Back then, I suggested that you give up Xihua Island and choose another fiefdom. You thought that Xihua Island was surrounded by the sea, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and could ensure the longevity of the country, so you must go.
Now, you come to complain, what can I do? Wei Caiqin's conditions in the West Sea Continent were also very difficult. She crossed the ocean and survived many dangers. Ye Shusheng was a teenager and went to the Mediterranean to build an empire. How could it not be hard?
Now, I only hope that you will persist and use the existing technology to survive and develop. If the court has the spare capacity, it will give you more immigrants and materials, but you need to wait.
If you still find it difficult to survive, you can withdraw. I will go to the African continent after the new year. The area there is three times that of the nine provinces of China. You can choose a piece of land as your new fiefdom. "
Ye Kun still has an indifferent attitude towards Xihua Island.
Even if Xiao Ruliu and Xiao Dequan withdrew, it would be impossible to take all those immigrants away.
Given Xiao Dequan's character, he would definitely leave behind some people, or even half of them, to stay on Xihua Island, develop slowly, and become the king.
In this way, Xihua Island will still be the territory of the descendants of the Chinese.
It will just take longer for the descendants of the Chinese to control the entire island.
Xiao Ruliu called back, sounding very resentful, and said that he didn't want to go anywhere else and would just fend for himself on Xihua Island.
Ye Kun called again: "Liu Fei, don't be discouraged. I will try my best to take care of you. When I go to Africa, it's not far away. We can plan for a while."
There are still three months until the Spring Festival.
Ye Kun also took time out to inspect the Science and Technology City and held meetings with everyone to study key projects.
Ye Lesheng came to report: "Father, the seven indigenous leaders of Yizhou Island have come to see you. They all admire your civil and military achievements and your great kindness. Do you want to meet them?"
Ye Kun smiled and said, "I am trying to win over the hearts of the local natives, so I naturally have to meet them."
Ye Lesheng nodded and went to make arrangements first.
The next morning, Ye Kun met with the tribal leaders of Yizhou Island in the Yangxin Palace.
These indigenous leaders are now learning to dress like the Han people, learning Chinese etiquette, and are also learning Chinese language and Chinese characters. Basically, they can communicate face to face without the need for translators.
Ye Kun clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your hard work, leaders. I am very happy to see you. The ancestors of Yizhou Island all came from the nine states of China. We are a family and brothers."
Several leaders clasped their fists together and said, "You are the emperor of the Chinese Han Dynasty, and you are also our emperor. We are all your subjects."
"I am no longer the emperor. I am the emperor emeritus. The current emperor of China is Ye Feng."
Ye Kun pointed at Ye Lesheng beside him and said, "Ye Lesheng is the younger brother of Emperor Ye Feng. He was sent to Yizhou Island by the Chinese Han people to be friends with you. I hope that you can love each other, develop together, and build up Yizhou Island."
The indigenous leader smiled and said, "Ye Lesheng, the King of Taiwan and Penghu, is our best friend and our master. He came here and brought us many good things.
There is cotton to make clothes for us; there are iron tools to facilitate our farming and hunting. There are also sweet potatoes and potatoes, red and white sugar, and countless porcelain and glass...”
Another indigenous leader said: "The King of Taiwan and Penghu also taught us how to read and write, built schools and hospitals for us, and taught us how to make leather."
Ye Lesheng smiled and said, "You are all the descendants of the Chinese people. When the Chinese people become rich, we will certainly not forget you overseas."
Ye Kun nodded and asked, "Are there any officials among these indigenous tribes who serve as officials here?"
"Yes, but not much."
"We need to increase the number of indigenous officials and recruit a large number of young people from the indigenous people to study in our universities. After they have completed their studies, we will let them return to their respective tribes and spread Chinese culture. In this way, they will be integrated faster and better."
Ye Kun thought for a moment and said, "We can also encourage young people among the indigenous people to go to universities across China to continue their studies. When they go there, they will have a better understanding of the Chinese people and the most advanced scientific and technological knowledge."
Izuku Island is isolated overseas and must strengthen its ties with the nine provinces of China.
Only by allowing the two sides to communicate with each other, intermarry and immigrate to each other can the blood become thicker than water and the blood ties become connected.
Ye Lesheng smiled and said, "I am planning to organize an event in the near future to invite these leaders and the elites among the indigenous people to go to the Chinese mainland for study and sightseeing.
The estimated size is 300 people, traveling with the merchant ship."
Ye Kun nodded and asked the leaders if they would like to visit the Nine Provinces of China.
This matter must be made clear, otherwise the indigenous leaders will be afraid.
If you take them to China and don't let them back, what will they do?
Twenty years ago, when the Chinese forces entered Iju Island, they also carried out a large-scale immigration, forcibly sending hundreds of thousands of natives to the Nine Provinces of China.
However, after Ye Lesheng entered Iju Island, he adopted a conciliatory strategy and no longer immigrated the indigenous people to China. Instead, he strived for integration and harmonious development.
Several indigenous leaders clasped their fists and smiled, "We believe in the Emperor, and we also believe in the King of Taiwan and Penghu."
Ye Kun was very happy and said to Ye Lesheng: "It seems that you are very popular here, so I feel relieved."
Ye Lesheng clasped his fists and said, "Father, the Taiwan and Penghu aboriginal tour group still needs my eldest brother's approval to arrange officials to carry out the reception activities."
"You kid, so it's for this."
Ye Kun suddenly realized why Ye Lesheng wanted to meet the indigenous leader himself, and said with a smile: "I will tell your eldest brother about this matter personally. Don't worry, I will ensure that the tour group will eat, drink and have fun. I will also ensure that they will open their eyes and see the richness and vastness of our Chinese Nine Provinces, and see our spiritual outlook."
It's just a tour group of 300 people, no big problem.
At noon, Ye Kun accompanied the indigenous leaders to drink without any airs.
After the meal, Ye Kun also gave out a large number of gifts, including lighters, pocket watches, table clocks, matches, telescopes, precious swords, hot pot utensils and tableware, and canned delicacies.
Except for pocket watches, everything else has been industrially mass-produced and is no longer valuable.
But indigenous chiefs are rare.
In the evening, Ye Kun sent another telegram to Zhuge Hong, asking him to prepare for the reception.
Ye Kun also instructed that there was no need to be overly extravagant or wasteful, and that no grand ceremonies that were costly and time-consuming should be held. The only thing to do was to ensure enthusiasm and that the tour groups had good food, drink and fun.
