The most arrogant in history

Chapter 483 Extra Large Landlady.

"Really? Guan Yong lived up to my expectations and finally drove the Xiongnu out of the south of Yinshan Mountain! Quick, bring me the urgent report."

Ye Kun was in a good mood.

Yinshan Mountain, located in the central part of Inner Mongolia in later generations, is a mountain range of great significance on the map of China.

But so that the Dragon City Feijiang will be there, he will not teach Huma Du Yinshan.

The Yin Mountains were also the dividing line between the ancient Hu and Han peoples in the north.

If the Han people hold the Yin Mountains, they can ensure peace in the Central Plains.

If the Huns took over Yinshan Mountain, they would be able to covet the Central Plains.

South of the Yin Mountains is the Hetao Grassland, an excellent natural pasture.

Guan Yong occupied the entire Yinshan Mountains, which meant he took the Hetao grassland into his possession.

The two most important horse pastures of the Xiongnu were the Hetao Grassland and the Hexi Corridor.

Both of these territories were conquered by Ye Kun. The Huns were devastated because their treasure chest was gone and their future life would be difficult.

Although there are still large grasslands in Mobei, it is colder and not suitable for human development, and it is impossible to develop. Escaping to Mobei is basically a matter of survival.

The two pillars of the empire at that time, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, actually only killed 200,000 Huns, but their occupation of the Hexi Corridor and the Hetao Grassland destroyed the productivity of the Huns, making it impossible for the Huns to recover for 200 years.

Ye Kun read the urgent report and said with a smile: "Send a message to Guan Yong, the army is stationed in Yinshan, don't be too hasty to beat the dog, play with him slowly. If you meet the Huns, capture them all and mine coal and iron ore for me."

At this time, the Northern Huns had a large number of troops gathered outside the Yin Mountains, preparing for a counterattack.

Ye Kun just wanted to play with him and slowly consume them.

To the west, He Zhongshu and the Little Wise King of the Western Xiongnu were also harassing the eastwards and depleting the strength of the Northern Xiongnu.

With the strength and size of China's Nine Provinces, they don't even need to fight, they can just hold on and drag the Northern Huns to death!

We held a meeting at the camp in the evening.

Ye Kun showed Guan Yong's urgent report and said with a smile:

"The Xiongnu have lost their two major bases in Hexi and Hetao, and their decline is imminent. However, our current focus in the north is Goguryeo. Therefore, I plan to postpone the pursuit of the Xiongnu.

I intend to send envoys to the Northern Xiongnu, to ask them to stop fighting, to use the Yin Mountains as the boundary, to open up trade between the Hu and Han, and to exchange food and iron tools for their population.

What do you think? "

Ma Zhao had deep ill will towards the Xiongnu. He clasped his fists and said, "The Xiongnu are difficult to educate. If we bring in a large number of Xiongnu, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the future."

Sang Buyi supported Ye Kun's opinion and said with a smile: "We are a great country like China, and we have a strong assimilation ability. When the Huns migrated here, they became pure-blooded Han people in the second generation."

Ye Kun nodded and smiled, "The Xiongnu have no written language, no unity, and no concept of nation or ethnicity. After our education, they are still very easy to tame. If they are really disobedient, don't we have iron chains?"

Jiang Youcai's father-in-law, He Quan's father, He Kangju, a great scholar in the Central Plains, and now Sang Buyi's assistant, clasped his fists and said:

"I am willing to go as an envoy to the Xiongnu and have a talk with the Xiongnu's Tianxian Chanyu."

Ye Kun nodded: "Then I will have to trouble Mr. He to make a trip and tell Tianxian Chanyu that wherever the sun and moon shine, it is China; wherever the rivers flow, it is Han territory. If he is willing to submit, I will strongly support the development of the Xiongnu. Otherwise, I will follow the path of Emperor Wu again, go deep into the northern desert, and plow the fields and dig holes."

He Kangju clasped his fists and accepted the order.

Ye Kun also ordered Ma Zhengyang of the Ministry of Works to send a message to all major coal mines and iron mines to prepare to receive the Huns.

Because Guan Yong has captured more than 30,000 Huns and will soon be sent there.

Coal mines and iron mines are all under the management of the Ministry of Industry.

The next day, everyone continued their journey, braving the wind and snow.

On the 28th day of the first lunar month, we finally arrived in Zhuo County.

Thanks to God, Zhuo County had clear skies and dry, cold air.

Ye Kun led the team and entered from the Zhengde Gate in the south, and couldn't help but admire in secret.

The construction of the new capital of Zhuo County has been going on for less than two years, and it has now reached a considerable scale and can accommodate about 300,000 people.

The first phase of the project is the imperial city, the second phase is the inner city, and the third phase is the outer city, all of which have been completed.

The fourth phase of the project, which involves the expansion and defense of the outer city, is still under construction.

It will take another three years to complete the project.

The brand new city and the wide and clean roads are refreshing.

Gongsun Erniang came to greet her and reported on her work:

"Brother, the Imperial City and the Inner City have basically been completed. The equipment for the Outer City is still being added, and it will take about a year to be completed.

Four hospitals have been completed, 20 primary schools, 10 secondary schools and two universities have all been built.

The preliminary works for the Science and Technology City and Planetarium have all been completed.”

Ye Kun nodded: "Junior sister, you have worked hard too. Junior sister Ding Ding is behind and misses you. You should go and accompany her."

Gongsun Erniang smiled and went to find Ding Ding to reminisce about the past.

From the outer city to the inner city, and then to the imperial city, Jiang Yourong and others could not see enough.

The imperial city is the imperial palace, which is divided into inner and outer parts.

The Outer Imperial City is where Ye Kun works. The Nine Departments and Zhuo County agencies are all located here.

The Inner Imperial City is where Ye Kun and his wives live, and it is their home in the strict sense.

The inner imperial city alone covers an area of ​​300 acres.

There are tall buildings, pavilions, waterside corridors, rockery gardens...

Ye Kun called Sang Buyi and asked:

"Didn't I say that the inner city of the imperial palace only needed one hundred acres? Why did it become three hundred acres? I won't take the blame for this waste of money and manpower!"

When planning the new capital, Ye Kun repeatedly said that the inner city of the imperial palace should not exceed one hundred acres.

But now the imperial palace harem covers an area of ​​300 acres, which is larger than Ye Kun had imagined.

Sang Buyi clasped his fists and said:

"Your Majesty, everyone thinks that you have made great achievements, far surpassing the First Emperor of the previous dynasty and the Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Wu of this dynasty. Now that China is unified, if the imperial city is too small, it will be a disgrace to the country. Therefore, the scale of the imperial city has been appropriately expanded."

Ye Kun sighed, "Okay, I'll be a tyrant for once. The cost of this inner city of the imperial palace is huge. I'll go back and mobilize the queens and ladies to take some of their private money to subsidize the finances. Otherwise, Wu Qiong will start to complain again."

The construction of a new capital, the construction of a new city in Chang'an, the use of troops to colonize the south, the overseas fleet expedition, the attack on Goguryeo, the swallowing of Western Qiang, the expulsion of the Huns, and the reopening of the Silk Road all cost money like water, and Wu Qiong cried poor every day.

Fortunately, Song Poliu and others were very helpful and made a lot of money from the intersection.

There is also Ye Kun's trade, which uses iron pots, porcelain and glass to directly exchange for silver, and he draws gold from the Western Regions, Rome, and India.

Otherwise, Ye Kun would have broken him down long ago.

Jiang Yourong entered the harem and was amazed. She asked Daixi, "Daixi, are all these houses, palaces and towers ours from now on?"

Dai Xi smiled and said, "Of course, from now on, you will be the mistress of this place, the landlady."

Liu Yuejuan covered her mouth and laughed, "What landlord's wife? It's the queen. Moreover, not only the house here belongs to the queen, but the whole world also belongs to the queen."

Xie Baochan laughed and said, "Yes, Sister Daixi's vision is too narrow. There is a huge difference between a landlord's wife and a queen."

Jiang Yourong smiled and said, "With so many houses, I'm afraid we'll have to live separately in the future, which will make it inconvenient to play mahjong. I don't mind, but Baochan and Hongyun are two gamblers, hehe..."
