The most arrogant in history

Chapter 884: Visit Xiping Mountain again.

Wen Quan said, "Your Majesty, our great Han Chinese nation has no rivals in the four seas. Our kingdom should not be taken away by foreign races, right?"

Ye Kun shook his head: "The world is changing and it is hard to predict. Who can tell what will happen in a few hundred years?"

At present, Eastern and Western Rome have not been completely destroyed.

Even if the Eastern and Western Roman Empires were destroyed and the world was conquered, it would be difficult to guarantee that the Chinese people would rule the world forever.

Genghis Khan's cavalry swept across the Eurasian continent, leaving mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, leaving Europe without a blade of grass.

But after only one or two hundred years, the Mongol Empire collapsed, and the remnants retreated to their grassland base.

In later times, it became a tiny country with a population of only two to three million.

Therefore, Ye Kun did not dare to be careless and repeatedly emphasized that in textbooks, all occupied areas should be included in the territory of China, and stone tablets should be erected everywhere to leave evidence "since ancient times."

The Chinese people are tolerant and combative, and have had the idea of ​​great unification since ancient times.

As long as it is recorded in the textbooks, even if it is snatched away by foreign races, future generations will never forget it, and there will always be a chance to take it back!

Wen Axiu nodded: “Your Majesty, rest assured, Lord Jinfeng Jin has completed the second comprehensive mountain and river survey of Jiaozhi and Tianzhu areas, as well as the Nanyang Islands, the Oil Peninsula, the Northern Prairie and other places. Detailed maps will be drawn soon.

Once Master Jinfeng has finished drawing the map, we will correct the map in the textbook."

Ye Kun nodded: "Jin Feng, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I know he is very busy."

Jin Feng is now the president of the Academy of Sciences, director of the Astronomical Observatory, head of the Mountain and River Surveying and Mapping Department, and director of the Meteorological Observatory.

He was in charge of science, astronomy, meteorology, and world map surveys.

Because overseas territories are constantly expanding.

So Jin Feng was very busy and sent out hundreds of disciples to various places to survey the terrain and make maps.

Wen Axiu nodded and said, "The globe and global map have been updated to the seventh edition. However, there are still many places that only have outlines but no qualified maps.

For example, the outlines of the Western Sea and the North and South continents may not even be accurate. And the Antarctic and Arctic continents are just circles drawn on maps and globes. "

Ye Kun smiled and said, "A circle is enough for the North Pole and the South Pole. We can't go there at the moment. If we go there, we can't come back."

Ye Kun really had no choice but to declare the Antarctic and the Arctic as Chinese territory and leave them there.

Let’s wait until our descendants have the ability to develop it.

Spent a day in Tianmen County.

The next morning, Ye Kun took everyone to Pingye County.

This time we traveled through the mountains because a standard national highway was built between the mountains.

The national highway is twelve meters wide, and it is narrower at some bridges and tunnels.

Jiang Yourong sat in the car, looking at the wide national highway and the scenery on both sides, and sighed: "Ye Qingyang is also an amazing person. He built such a road in these heavy mountains."

This national highway, as well as many provincial and county roads, were all built under the supervision of Ye Qingyang.

Ye Kun nodded and smiled, "It is indeed not easy to build a road in such a mountainous area. But the Yunmian Highway built by Ding Ding is even more magnificent than this project.

Because the conditions in the Yunmian region are harsh, the mountains are even more precipitous, and there is smoke everywhere, the construction difficulty is hellish.”

From an engineering perspective, the Yun-Mian Avenue is comparable to the Grand Canal.

The Yunmian Avenue also opened up a southwest sea outlet for the Chinese people, leading directly to the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean.

The traffic conditions in the southwest have also improved greatly.

People in the southwest can go out to sea directly from the Bay of Bengal without passing through the Strait of Malacca.

The imperial court also designed a land immigration route, which was to migrate directly to the Indian Peninsula from the Yunmian Highway.

The economy of the southwest gradually prospered due to the construction of this avenue.

In addition, Tintin also built the southern part of Yunnan and Myanmar and constructed two large canals.

The southern part of Yunnan and Myanmar can directly access the sea through the Grand Canal.

Jiang Yourong nodded and smiled, "Yes, Ding Ding is still young and strong. He can preside over more major projects in his lifetime."

Ye Kun sighed, "Ding Ding is only seven or eight years younger than me, so he is almost fifty years old. Time flies."

Originally, Ye Kun wanted to build a railway in the Tianzhu continent.

But it's difficult to calculate.

As they were talking, they arrived at Xiping Mountain.

This is where Ye Kun started his career and made his fortune.

Liu Yuejuan had already been looking through a telescope and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, look, Xiping Mountain has now become a big city. Look, there are several tall buildings on the mountain!"

Ye Kun put his hands on the pergola and looked around, then shook his head and laughed, "Nonsense, there isn't much arable land near Xiping Mountain, so it's actually not suitable for building a city."

Xiping Mountain has a dangerous terrain. If we station troops there, it will be easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Back then, Ye Kun relied on the advantageous terrain of Xiping Mountain to defend Pingye County and fought several beautiful annihilation battles.

But Xiping Mountain is not suitable for large-scale development due to the lack of arable land nearby.

Wen Axiu called Wen Quan over and asked, "How many people live near Xiping Mountain now?"

"About thirty thousand people."

"How much arable land is there nearby?"

"In the past, there was little arable land. Over the years, we have continuously reclaimed wasteland and cultivated fields, and also tidied up the nearby marshes. Now there are about 50,000 mu of arable land."

"Fifty thousand acres of land is not too little." Ye Kun smiled and said:

"It was my suggestion to tidy up the marshland. Ye Qingyang's Ye Family Fort was all moved here, and it was only after developing tens of thousands of acres of marshland that people could live and work here in peace and contentment."

Wen Quan said: "But later, more than half of the Ye family members followed Ye Qingyang and moved back to Cigu County. Later, Ye Qingyang got into trouble, and the Ye family members under him were also exiled to various places...

Currently, there are only a few thousand Ye family members in Xiping Mountain."

Ye Kun hesitated to speak.

Back then, it was Ye Kun and Ma Zhao who decided to exile the Ye family members.

Because the amount of money involved in the canal corruption case was too large and involved too many people.

Failure to deal with it will not be enough to appease the public anger.

Now, Ye Qingyang has passed away, and the glory of the Ye Family Fort is no longer there.

Thinking of all this, Ye Kun was filled with mixed emotions.

When they arrived at the foot of Xiping Mountain, local officials came to greet them.

Today, Xiping Mountain is a town called Xishan Town.

The mayor's surname is Wang, he is in his forties, and he came to greet Ye Kun with a smile: "Wang Xiaobao greets the emperor, the queen and all the ladies..."

Ye Kun looked at Wang Xiaobao and said with a smile: "Why do you look familiar to me?"

"Your Majesty, I met you when I was a child."

Wang Xiaobao chuckled: "My father's name is Wang Bao. He used to be the captain of the yamen runners in Pingye County. Back then, when the emperor led his troops to attack Xiping Mountain, my father was there. My father also had a sworn brother named Zhu Dachun, who followed the emperor together back then..."
