The most arrogant in history

Chapter 701 How to clean up?

Ye Kun was stunned.

As expected, capitalists are the best at calculating accounts and have a sharp eye.

Wu Qiong laughed again and said:

"I heard that our civilian sailing teams have landed on the island of Ceylon and started to fight for territory. The Tamil Dynasty's army cannot defeat our civilian sailing teams and often comes to Zhuo County to protest.

In this way, it will only take two or three years for the island of Ceylon to be completely occupied by our civilian sailing fleet."

He Kangju said: "The civilian sailing team was very smart. They even brought back slaves from the Tamil Empire from the island of Ceylon to serve as domestic servants and let them work."

Ye Kun was also at a loss for words and asked, "How should we deal with this situation?"

Sang Buyi pinched his beard and said with a smile:

"Isn't the emperor planning to emigrate overseas and conquer the world? I think the court doesn't need to care about the Tamil dynasty's protests. Just say they are pirates, we can't do anything about it.

We can even send out troops, pretending to be a civilian sailing team, and gradually occupy the Tamil Dynasty. When the Tamil Dynasty collapses, the imperial court will take over, and naturally turn the island of Ceylon into Chinese territory."

Ye Kun laughed: "This is exactly what I want to say. I will notify the Ministry of War to send troops to cooperate with the civilian sailing team's operations, and then provide the civilian sailing team with guns, ammunition, armor and weapons."

It is also a good idea to let coastal fishermen spontaneously organize teams to occupy overseas areas.

As for the future proliferation of pirates, we will slowly control it.

He Kangju nodded and said, "The Great Island of Ceylon and the Indian Peninsula are very close. Our coastal fishermen can land on the Great Island of Ceylon, and naturally they will spread to the Indian Peninsula.

In eight or ten years, China's assimilation of the Indian Peninsula will be complete."

"Everyone has a point."

Ye Kun nodded: "The Xie family and the Han family in Yizhou are both migrating to the Persian Gulf and will establish bases in the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The expansion of the Huaxia clan will proceed rapidly, faster than before!"

He Kangju broke out in a cold sweat and smiled bitterly:

"Your Majesty, do we really need to conquer such a large territory? After conquering it, can we control it forever?"

"I have explained this question a thousand times."

Ye Kun was somewhat dissatisfied and asked, "If we don't expand overseas, within ten years, China's population will exceed 100 million. Fifty years later, the population will be 300 to 400 million. What will we eat then? Will it be the same as before, with people exchanging their own children for food before famine comes?"

Think about it, do you want to see the Chinese people occupy overseas, or do you want the Chinese people to stay in Kyushu and eat their own children? "

He Kangju was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he stood up and bowed to apologize.

Ye Kun asked again: "What do you think are the main contradictions and crises in human society?"

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to speak.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "It's clearly stated in the university textbooks. The biggest contradiction and threat to mankind is the resource problem. Since the birth of human society, the only task has been to find resources, seize resources, discover resources, and create resources.

Generally speaking, humans need food resources, drinking water resources, fuel resources, building materials resources, and cold-weather protection resources.

The princes fought each other in a melee, competing for the Central Plains. The deer was resources.

We manufacture guns and cannons, we develop technology, and we promote industrial society. All of this is done in order to control global resources so that our Chinese descendants can continue.

If the ancestors had no vision, the descendants would surely be poor. China lacks gold, silver, copper and oil resources. The oil out there is cheaper than water, so why don’t we develop it?”

The resource issue is the ultimate issue of human survival.

In a country with abundant resources, descendants can make money while lying down; in a country with scarce resources, descendants can make money while kneeling.

Iron ore in Australia has an iron content of more than 60%. Anything below 50% is not considered iron ore.

The iron content of Huaxia iron ore is about 30%. The iron content of Liaodong iron ore is the highest, only 40, but it is positioned as a high-quality iron ore in the country.

Even worse is the Americans of later generations. All iron content above 10% is their own high-quality local resources.

Forget about oil and gas. China has been stuck in this dilemma for many years, and it is all blood and tears.

Britain, a tiny country, dominated the world through industrialization and built the empire on which the sun never sets. The territory it controlled and colonized even exceeded that of Mongolia in its heyday!

Ye Kun’s current technology is no less advanced than that of Great Britain at that time.

However, Ye Kun couldn't find any opponent who could fight him.

How can we miss this God-given opportunity?

Sang Buyi said: "Your Majesty's long-term vision is certainly correct. However, we still have to take it step by step and not rush into anything."

"Looking around the world, our navy has no rivals. Our fleet can reach any place covered by sea water."

Ye Kun said proudly: "In three to five years, the next generation of young people will grow up, and the flag of our Chinese people will be flying all over the world!"

Ye Kun has occupied the Central Plains for ten years.

Over the past decade, the number of newborns has skyrocketed.

Soon, Ye Kun will have the population resources to conquer the world.

Of the navy that was sent to the American continent, only a few hundred people were left behind. Now, they have established government offices and yamen in South America, controlled a large amount of land, and started to multiply and thrive.

Chinese immigrants on Fuso Long Island, Jizui Peninsula, Izu Island, and the Australian continent are all expanding and spreading.

Wherever I go, there is no decent opponent!

Guan Yong had returned from the Western Regions several months earlier. He is now the Minister of War and the Army Commander-in-Chief. He strongly supports Ye Kun:

"Your Majesty is not conquering the barbarians for his own ambitions, but for the survival and reproduction of the descendants of the Chinese people. We are all Chinese people, we all have descendants, we should be able to understand the emperor and be consistent."

Qin Chou also said:

"I understand what the emperor is talking about. If cotton had not been imported from overseas, our people would still be suffering from the cold. If sweet potatoes and potatoes had not been imported, we would still be starving. If we want to live a better life, we cannot be content with the status quo and must continue to make progress."

Everyone clasped their fists together and said, "Let's follow the emperor and achieve great things together!"

Wu Qiong thought for a moment and said in a low voice:

"The recent military campaign against Dayuan has affected the western trade routes. The Kushan Empire and the Tamil Dynasty have also stopped their trade activities with us due to friction.

I'm worried that there won't be enough money in the treasury."

Ye Kun asked: "Is there enough food?"

Wu Qiong nodded: "There is a lot of food, and it will take more than three years to finish it."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "As long as there is food, there will be no problem, because if there is food, there will be chicken, duck, fish and meat. If there is land, there will be cotton and silkworms. For ordinary people, if there is food, drink and clothes to wear, they will not rebel."

Wu Qiong pondered and said, "Your Majesty, our paper money issuance has a good effect. The ten-cent treasure note is more popular than the copper coin. I wonder if we can go a step further and issue fifty-cent or one hundred-cent treasure notes?

If the issuance is successful, the copper coins in the private sector will basically be recycled and become a resource for the imperial court.”
