Chapter 713 The third sister came to complain.
This is Ye Kun’s overall plan for the South Pacific islands.
Then, slowly, when the population of China's nine provinces increases, we will develop the South Sea islands, enfeoff princes, and expand our branches and branches.
But that’s not possible now. We must now focus on expanding westwards.
Moreover, Ye Kun is not interested in the resources of the South Pacific islands now, he only wants the oil from the West.
Xiao Ruliu was very scared and cried, "Your Majesty, the Nanyang Islands are all foreign lands. What's the difference between letting the princes go there and exiling them?"
Ye Kun said calmly:
"Princess Liu, when the time comes, I will first send troops to land, subdue the natives, and build a base camp as a foothold. Then the prince will immigrate, bringing with him 500,000 people, countless tools and equipment, and establish himself as king. Do you think exile is so comfortable?"
After a pause, Ye Kun continued, "You all know about the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, right? The royal descendants killed each other, and the common people were implicated, with countless casualties. Concubine Liu, while I am alive, I can guarantee the safety of you and your son. But after I die, Crown Prince Ye Feng doesn't like his brother and suddenly wants to kill him. How will you deal with it?"
Xiao Dequan also winked at his sister and said with a smile:
"The emperor's arrangement is very appropriate. The Nanyang Islands are also a good place, far away from the nine provinces of China, free and easy. Moreover, as long as you are loyal to the Han Dynasty, you will always be protected by the Han Dynasty, and the country will last forever."
Xiao Ruliu then nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Don't think too much about it for now. It will take at least ten years to truly immigrate to the South Sea Islands."
Ye Kun was a little tired, and said with a smile: "Liu Fei, accompany King Wu, let's chat more, I'm a little sleepy, I'll take my leave first."
Xiao Dequan stood up to see him off respectfully, then analyzed the situation to his sister.
Wherever there is a palace, there will be palace fighting; this is inevitable.
The position of Crown Prince Ye Feng has been decided. It is the best choice for other princes to go overseas, as they can avoid disaster and ensure lifelong wealth.
Ye Kun stayed in Zhuo County for the entire spring.
It was not until April that the regional divisions and personnel appointments of the 42 provinces were completed.
The ninth department also completed the expansion.
The Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Publicity and Culture, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Education were added, making a total of thirteen ministries.
But I've gotten used to it, so I still call it Jiubu.
Gongsun Erniang reported to Ye Kun: "Brother, after a few months of development, the number of Mohist disciples has increased by 20,000. Among all the officials in the court, our Mohist Alliance accounts for a quarter."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "A quarter of the proportion is not enough, we need to continue to increase it. Also, don't forget the development of remote areas."
The Mohist Alliance has a purpose and firm determination.
Using the Mohist Alliance to govern the country is like having an additional layer of insurance.
Without faith and determination, even the most powerful empire will become a short-lived dynasty.
The Qin Dynasty is an example, it only lasted fifteen years.
Sang Buzhi and the Minister of Personnel were very keenly aware of the changes.
At the meeting of the nine ministries, the Minister of Personnel reflected:
"Your Majesty, many of the officials who have been reassigned recently are members of the Mohist Alliance. Will this situation affect the court's ability to govern the country?"
Ye Kun smiled and said, "No way? The purpose of the Mohist Alliance is to promote benefits and eliminate harm, and the world is for all. This concept is very popular among the people."
Ma Zhao was still merciless and frowned, saying, "If an official from the Mohist Alliance breaks the law, will the emperor protect him?"
"The emperor who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone the Mohist Alliance?"
Ye Kun said firmly: "If Mohist officials break the law, they will be subject to the highest laws of the court. In addition, they will be punished by the Mohist Alliance. There are two swords hanging over their heads, one is the national law, and the other is the punishment system of the Mohist Alliance. Therefore, Mohists will be more cautious than other officials!"
Ma Zhao nodded: "In that case, I have nothing to say."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Officials in the past all served the emperor, so Confucianism advocated loyalty to the emperor. Mohism is different. It is loyal to the world and considers the people, so as to prevent the whole world from becoming the emperor's private property.
The previous imperial system led to constant tyranny because the imperial power was too concentrated and too overbearing.
I think this is a good idea. With nine ministries, the National Assembly, and the Mohist Alliance, we can discuss all state affairs, big or small.”
He Kangju asked: "Your Majesty, can the Confucians form an alliance?"
"of course can."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "If Confucianism can have a better purpose and consider the people, then the people will join you. However, I don't think the people will like the Confucian system of respecting the noble and the humble."
Now we advocate equality for all, and ordinary people will not kneel when they see the Jade Emperor.
This is Ye Kun, asking everyone to stand up.
Confucianism still wants the people to kneel down, but I'm afraid no one will buy it!
He Kangju smiled and said, "Since the emperor has allowed it, we Confucian disciples should also think about it."
Ye Kun looked at everyone and said with a smile:
"If you agree with the philosophy of our Mohist Alliance, promoting benefits and eliminating harm, working for the common good, developing science and technology, and benefiting mankind, you can also join our Mohist Alliance. We have no threshold, as long as you share the same beliefs and work for the benefit of the people of the world, you can join."
Ding Ding and He Tiantian smiled and said, "Welcome everyone, become a Mohist and fight for the people of the world."
Qin Chou grinned and said, "I'll join... But, if I become a Mohist, does that mean I'm your disciple? Am I a generation younger than you?"
Everyone laughed.
Ding Ding smiled and said, "In the Mohist Alliance, there is no master-apprentice relationship, nor is there a hierarchy. Even though Lord Qin has become a Mohist, he is still Lord Qin, and he will not be one generation lower."
"Then I'll join." Qin Chou nodded.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Master Qin, if you join the Mohist Alliance and become a Mohist, you must abide by the rules and fight for the people of the world until the end of your life. You will retire in the future, but you must not lose your Mohist character."
Qin Chou thought for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want me to donate money to help the people of the world?"
Sang Buyi and the others couldn't help laughing.
Among the nine characters, Qin Chou is the most simple.
"It would be better if you have some money to donate."
Ye Kun suppressed his laughter and winked, "Your donation is an internal matter of the Mohist Alliance. We'll talk about it later. Dismiss."
If Qin Chou continues talking, I wonder what else he will say.
Just after the meeting, Jiang Yourong sent someone to invite Ye Kun to return to Fengyi Palace for dinner.
Ye Kun returned to Fengyi Palace and said with a smile, "The Queen has summoned you. What do you want me to do?"
"How dare I give orders to the emperor? It is my third sister who has come to pay her respects." Jiang Yourong said with a smile.
"Are you talented?"
Ye Kun was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I haven't seen my third sister for a year, and I miss her too."
Youcai came over and bowed to Ye Kun: "Brother-in-law, Your Majesty, I, the third sister, bow to you."
"No, no, please don't be polite, Third Sister."
Ye Kun extended his hand to support her and said with a smile, "Ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some dishes that Third Sister will like."
Youcai sat down and said with a curled lip: "Your Majesty, I am here to file a complaint, not to eat."
Ye Kun frowned and smiled, "Third sister, who are you going to sue? Did He Quan bully you? If He Quan bullied you, I will send someone to beat him up. If that doesn't work, I will beat him up myself!"
