The most arrogant in history

Chapter 770 The Princess’ Mission.

Ye Kun has no time to take care of the several major archipelagos in the Southeast Ocean.

Although that place is also suitable for human survival.

The captain of the voyage said, "Your Majesty, we have been to the island and found that the island has good resources. There are also farmlands, rivers and mountains. We can make money by doing business there. However, the local natives often attack us."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "You have hundreds of people, you should be able to defeat the natives. Don't you have swords, guns, bows and arrows, and armor?"

"We have swords, guns, bows and arrows, but no muskets or cannons." The captain said pitifully:

"Ever since the five Zhao brothers plundered Zhangtou Port, our sailing team has been very cautious. The court has also strengthened supervision and sent out an escort team. However, when we applied for an escort team, the Jinling Maritime Safety Administration said that they did not have enough manpower and asked us to wait a little longer."

Ye Kun nodded: "How many escort teams do you need?"

"If we have muskets and cannons, fifty men will be enough. Because our own sailors can also join the battle."

"Okay, I'll give you a fleet of about 80 people to escort you in the future. If the natives of the Eastern Islands don't know what's good for them, we'll wipe them out and arrange for our people to stay there for a long time and set up guard posts."

The captain was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude with a fist bump.

Ye Kun also took out the latest nautical chart and gave it to the captain, as well as various sophisticated instruments.

Ye Kun spent money to purchase all the supplies brought by the sailing team, which were used for the resettlement of immigrants and the development of Dasong Island.

Ye Kun asked the sailing team to deliver the remaining supplies to the Ninth and Tenth Princes of Datang Island.

In the evening, Ye Kun sent a telegram to Guan Bao, hoping that the court would continue to encourage private capital to enter the shipping industry.

In particular, the 'Fuso Nagashima - Izu Island - South Pacific Islands' route should be vigorously developed.

For China, this sea area is right in front of us and must be managed well.

Ye Kun was not worried that others would take away this sea area and island, but he was worried that the natives here would gradually become stronger and harass the merchant ships.

However, to control this sea area and the three major archipelagos, it is necessary to set up garrisons and supply stations, which is also a huge expense.

Guan Bao quickly called back and said that he would organize experts and officials the next day to discuss the management issues of the Southeast Pacific Islands and set up garrisons on important islands as much as possible.

At the end of September, Dasong Island made breakthroughs in the development of glass and porcelain.

There have long been no technical problems with glass and porcelain.

Here on Dasong Island, we just searched for materials locally. Because of the differences in materials here, we also had to adjust the technology and equipment accordingly, so it was delayed until today.

Ye Pingsheng was very happy: "Father, now except for iron ore, we can almost be self-sufficient in other things. I will develop here, and you don't have to worry about me in the future."

"Good boy, you are great."

Ye Kun nodded and said seriously: "When the typhoon season is over, I will leave Dasong Island, pass through Izu Island, and return to China. You and your brother must take good care of mother and your oath here. Your ninth and tenth brothers are in Datang Island. The conditions are very poor. You must help them more."

Ye Pingsheng knelt down and kowtowed, and promised again: "Father's instructions, I will always remember them, and I will never dare to disobey. But now that Father is leaving, I cannot be by your side to fulfill my filial duties..."

"Silly child, I am the emperor, and there are many people around me, not to mention the crown prince Ye Feng."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "With the supplies from Song and Tang islands, plus the existing resources, I think we can live here for a long time. If you need anything in the future, send me a telegram. I will ask the court to support you. Of course, if you have copper mines, you can also use refined copper to exchange supplies with the caravan."

Over the past year, the imperial court has provided a lot of supplies to Dasong Island and Datang Island.

According to the total number of immigrants, each person had two iron pots, a copper kettle, a copper washbasin, two pieces of cloth, a mosquito net, a straw hat, a raincoat tent, etc.

Even the floor tiles used for paving the floors and walls are 20 square meters per person.

If you adapt to the climate, this place is almost a paradise.

The local fruits and game were so abundant that there was no way to eat them all.

The construction of the rubber industrial park started on the island a year ago, and there will be abundant rubber resources in the future.

At the end of October, the typhoon season is over.

Ye Kun, Lu Kaijiang and others bid farewell to Dasong Island, headed north, and then went to Yizhou Island.

Ma Jiaojiao was sent to the port, crying and choking with sobs.

Ye Kun was also upset, holding Ma Jiaojiao's hand: "My queen, I will come to see you again in three years. If you miss home, you can also ask your son to arrange a fleet and go back with the merchant ship to visit."

Ma Jiaojiao cried, "From now on, we will be separated from each other. I am afraid that I will die young and never see the emperor again."

"No, we will definitely meet again."

Ye Kun forced a smile: "By then, you, the queen, will be more dignified. Pingsheng and Dongsheng will definitely have children around them. Our China will also become stronger, and it will be easier for us to visit each other."

Ma Jiaojiao nodded vigorously: "I'm waiting for that day."

Ye Kun bowed and said goodbye, then boarded the ship.

Four days later, Ye Kun came to Izu Island again.

Dai Xike was very happy and greeted them at the port, as lively as a little girl.

The conditions on Izu Island are so good that bringing Xi and his son Ye Lesheng here is a great start.

Ye Kun came ashore, took Dai Xi's hand, and said with a smile: "You've gained weight!"

"Your Majesty, you are so annoying."

Dai Xi smiled charmingly: "I am fat, and it is also because of you. Who asked you to put me here? This place is rich and comfortable, and I have gained weight without realizing it."

"I said you've gained weight and become more beautiful than before."

Ye Kun laughed, holding Dai Xi's hand and walked to the dock: "I will be back in a few days. If you miss Yourong and the others, I can take you back with me. You can spend the New Year in Zhuo County and then come back to accompany your son.

I will keep your house in the palace for you, and I will send someone to clean it every day to keep everything in its original state. "

Dai Xi was even more surprised: "That's great, I will go back with the emperor and spend the New Year with Sister Yourong!"

Princess Mingzhu on the side also jumped up and said, "Father, I want to go back with you to see the Empress and my classmates and friends in Zhuo County."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Princess Mingzhu can go back, but she has a mission."

"What mission?"

"This time when you go back, Princess Mingzhu will bring thousands of immigrants from Zhuo County and other places to Izu Island to help your brother Ye Lesheng and speed up construction and development. Don't you have friends and classmates? You can do some work and persuade everyone to come over."

"Father, how many people do I need to bring to complete the mission?" Princess Mingzhu was eager to try.

"How about 3,000 people, half men and half women, is that ok?"

Ye Kun pondered and said, "Just organize the personnel and put them in place. All the expenses required will be paid by the court. If the court does not give you the money, I will give it to you privately."

"That must be no problem."

Princess Mingzhu laughed: "Izu Island is such a good place, many people want to immigrate, but there is no way."

Ye Lesheng clasped his fists and said:

"Father, this past year, some Chinese people from the coastal areas have spontaneously immigrated here, and I have accepted them all. I counted that there are about 3,000 people who spontaneously immigrated this year."
