The most arrogant in history

Chapter 922: The natural barrier becomes a thoroughfare.

Huangfu Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

Ye Kun nodded: "Absolutely serious. As long as you have the ability to bring one million people from China, I will strongly support you. However, you have to solve the immigration fee issue yourself."

Ye Kun said this because he knew Huangfu Lin was rich!

On the Spanish Peninsula, the original small kingdom was destroyed by Huangfu Lin, leaving behind a huge amount of wealth.

The amount of money he extorted from the Western Roman Empire was also enormous.

What's more, Huangfu Lin was in charge of the navy and Jiangdong for many years, and his family background was extremely strong.

Although Huangfu Lin handed over several million taels of gold to the court after arriving in the Spanish Peninsula, Ye Kun understood that more money should still be in Huangfu Lin's hands.

Huang Fulin heard this and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am willing to go back in person, recruit soldiers and horses, and bring more compatriots to settle in the Spanish Peninsula. Your Majesty, rest assured that the Spanish Peninsula and the Mediterranean will always belong to us, the descendants of Yan and Huang!"

"Brother Huangfu, at your age, don't go back."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "You can stay here to calm the situation in the Spanish Peninsula and Western Rome. Go home to recruit immigrants and send your son and confidants back.

Of course, you can also form a caravan, do business and recruit immigrants at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."

Huangfu Lin also had seven or eight concubines, and his sons and daughters were in their twenties, all of whom were adults.

You can definitely send your son back to recruit immigrants.

Cherry nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. It is best to let the caravans bring immigrants back and forth. There are still many indigenous people on the Western Peninsula. We can also bring some back and use them as laborers."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "China's Nine Provinces doesn't need much labor now."

The domestic population has exploded and the country’s own labor force is sufficient.

Introducing more workers would be a burden because they need to eat.

Cherry pondered and said, "In that case, we can send a fleet first, go back and take a look, and then decide on the details."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Before you go back, you can directly order a batch of merchant ships and immigrant ships from the Huaxia Shipyard. Then, just go back with the money."

Huangfu Lin and his wife nodded together.

Ye Kun added: "If you need technical personnel, I will give you another batch. Building the Spanish Peninsula is crucial for us to control the Mediterranean."

Spanish Peninsula, on the west side of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Suez Canal is located in the southeastern Mediterranean Sea.

Ye Shusheng's forces have already entered the northern side of the Mediterranean.

It can be said that the entire Mediterranean has been half surrounded by Ye Kun.

Huangfu Lin and his wife stayed here for several days, accompanying Ye Kun to inspect the canal construction.

Huangfu Lin also introduced the construction status of the northern section of the canal to Ye Kun.

The construction measures in both places are similar.

The northern section also built sand-carrying ships, wheelbarrows, desert sleds and other tools.

Cherry extended an invitation: "Your Majesty, when the Red Sea Canal is opened, we will invite you and the Queen to go to the Spanish Peninsula to guide the work. You must give us face. The people on the Spanish Peninsula are all your subjects, and everyone is waiting to meet Your Majesty."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "No problem, I will definitely go when the time comes."

The great Taoist priest Zhang Yuzhen also brought scholars from various schools of thought to the northern part of the Strait and began to investigate.

Huangfu Lin said to Ye Kun: "Your Majesty, can you give me a group of these scholars from the Hundred Schools of Thought?"

"Well, you should go ask them. I don't care. If they are willing to go with you, I welcome them." Ye Kun smiled.

Huangfu Lin really went to find Zhang Yuzhen, and shamelessly asked for help, hoping to take a group of scholars with him to preach in the Spanish Peninsula.

Zhang Yuzhen was forced into a corner and, having received generous gifts, had no choice but to send sixty male and female disciples to support the Spanish Peninsula.

Other schools also sent disciples, totaling more than one hundred people.

A few days later, Huangfu Lin and his wife said goodbye.

Ye Shusheng sent another telegram, saying that his mother missed Ye Kun and Jiang Yourong and wanted to come and reunite with them.

Ye Kun also missed Xie Baochan, and called back: "I am in the north of the Strait. You can come over from the Mediterranean and we will be together in three to five days."

It is very convenient to travel by water in the Mediterranean.

Because the Mediterranean Sea is an inland sea, the wind and waves are not strong and it is navigable at any time.

Ye Shusheng has the latest speedboat in his hands, which can make rapid progress.

The most difficult part of the journey is the Suez area, where you have to ride on camels and cross the desert.

When the canal is built in the future, entering the Mediterranean from the Oil Peninsula will turn the natural barrier into a thoroughfare!

When Xie Baochan received the call back, he was overjoyed and immediately set off to meet Ye Kun.

A few days later, we met again.

Xie Baochan hugged Jiang Yourong, crying and laughing: "Sister, it's been a year, we have been separated for a year, and today we finally meet again!"

"My dear sister, I miss you too. Don't cry, don't cry..." Jiang Yourong wiped Xie Baochan's tears, but she also couldn't stop crying.

Ye Kun was also touched and said with a smile: "Baochan, this is my fault. Logically, I should be the one to go see you."

Ye Shusheng’s base is on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean.

The distance between the two sides is really not far.

But Ye Kun was too busy to spare the time.

"Your Majesty, how can I blame you for this?"

Xie Baochan wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "You are the master of the world, and you have a lot of things to do every day. Unlike me, I have nothing to do all day."

Ye Kun smiled and asked, "Is everything okay with Shusheng?"

This time it was Xie Baochan who came, but Ye Shusheng didn't.

"The children are doing well. They are busy with construction and resettling Chinese immigrants." Xie Baochan nodded and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I will stay here this time and will always be with you and Sister Yourong."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "That's fine, I'm just afraid you can't bear to part with your son."

"No, my daughter has grown up and doesn't need me to worry about her anymore."

Xie Baochan shook his head and said seriously, "I brought all my luggage with me. Your Majesty, I am still with you and Sister Yourong, and I feel at ease."

Young couples come to accompany each other when they grow old.

At first, Xie Baochan missed his son and wanted to go to Ye Shusheng.

Now, after spending a year with my son, I found that he is very capable and I don’t have to worry about him at all!

So, Xie Baochan began to worry about her husband again.

Ye Kun held Xie Baochan's hand and said, "Baochan, I'm very happy that you are willing to come back to accompany us. Yuejuan also sent a telegram a few days ago, saying that she would come to visit us and spend the New Year with us."

Liu Yuejuan has been in Hanhuangdao for more than a year.

Talking about his mental journey, it is similar to Xie Baochan's.

Now that she no longer had to worry about her children, she began to miss her husband.

The love we had back then has now turned into a deep family bond, and it feels like a long time since we last saw each other.

"Really? Yuejuan is coming too?"

Xie Baochan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "When Yuejuan comes, we old sisters can play Landlord again!"

Jiang Yourong smiled and said, "Good sister, I have arranged a bedroom for you and Yuejuan. Let's go to Changgeng New City together."

In the blink of an eye, it is the twelfth lunar month again.

Liu Yuejuan really came over.

Ye Kun, Jiang Yourong and Xie Baochan personally greeted them at the port.

When everyone met, they naturally felt mixed emotions of sadness and joy.
