Chapter 697 Is there such a good thing?
Ye Kun asked: "What is the result?"
The elder said: "We have decided to integrate into China and agree with the plan of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. However, there are some minor matters that need to be discussed."
Ye Kun nodded and asked everyone to speak directly.
The elder said: "We hope to build the new Loulan city near Jincheng County, preferably to the west of Jincheng County, closer to our homeland of Loulan."
Ye Kun nodded without hesitation and said, "That's no problem. I promise you."
Jincheng is Lanzhou in later generations.
There are not many people there, but there is plenty of land.
You can also find a county town, relocate the indigenous people, and give the city to Loulan.
The elder added: "The new Loulan city cannot be smaller than our old city. Outside the city, we must have a hundred miles of land, with rivers and forests, pastures and farmland. This is the foundation for the reproduction of our descendants."
"Everyone who lives in the house has his own house, and every one who tills the land has his own land. This is inevitable."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "I will give you a county and exempt you from agricultural and animal husbandry taxes. The taxes within the county are still yours, and you don't have to hand them over to the court. The people of Loulan are willing to do business and travel across states and provinces, so the taxes will be halved.
Loulan immigrants want to go back and take a look, and they are exempt from customs fees along the way. "
The elder nodded and thanked him, then said, "We will move half of them away and leave the other half behind. The remaining half must maintain Loulan customs, and China must not interfere."
"Respect your customs and never interfere."
Ye Kun was easy to talk to, and said with a smile: "Whether it's the half who stayed or the half who moved out, as long as they have no food to eat, it all belongs to the court."
There were other details as well, and Ye Kun agreed to all of them.
The discussion was pleasant.
Queen Ayiman remained silent, just smiling.
The two elders stood up and saluted Ye Kun: "Emperor of the Han Dynasty, we have one last request."
Ye Kun clasped his fists and said, "Please speak."
The elder looked at Ayiman and said slowly: "We hope that the emperor of the Han Dynasty can marry into Loulan and marry our queen Ayiman."
"Ah, I marry into Loulan?" Ye Kun's body trembled, and he felt thunder rumbling in the sky.
Burnt on the outside and yellow on the inside.
Huang Jian, Cheng Yulong and the others also changed color.
Ayiman looked at Ye Kun's expression and frowned slightly, seeming a little... sad.
The elder nodded and continued, "We hope that after the Han emperor marries into Loulan and has a child with Ayiman, he will inherit the throne of Loulan. In this way, the two families will become one, and Loulan will be able to prosper for a long time."
Huang Jingzu stood up and was about to get angry.
Ye Kun waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said with a smile: "Queen Ayiman is like the moon in the sky. And I am almost forty years old, and I feel unworthy of her.
In addition, as the ruler of a country, after I marry into Loulan, what will happen to the Han Empire?"
Is the Queen beautiful?
pretty.
But if Ye Kun stayed in Loulan as a son-in-law, wouldn't he be scolded to death?
If you love beauty more than power, you will be despised by others!
The elder of the clan smiled and said, "We don't require the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to marry into the family. We just need to get married in Loulan. After the marriage, you can leave Loulan and continue to be the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Just make sure that Ayiman has a child who can inherit the throne in the future."
Damn, is there such a good thing?
Ye Kun was somewhat tempted.
No, it should be for the great cause of China, and you should be willing to sacrifice yourself a little.
A man should be strong, so what's wrong with being a son-in-law?
However, Ye Kun still had to be coy and said with a smile: "Dear Loulan elders, this is a major event for Her Majesty the Queen as well. I hope to talk to Her Majesty the Queen alone."
Ayiman frowned slightly and nodded, "That's fine. Emperor Han, please move to my bedroom."
Ye Kun stood up, clasped his fists and said goodbye to everyone, then followed Ayiman to her boudoir.
Ayiman lowered her eyes and whispered, "If the Emperor of the Han Dynasty feels that the small country of Loulan is not worthy of an alliance with the Han Dynasty, just pretend we didn't say anything..."
"Your Majesty, I am afraid I have wronged you."
Ye Kun held Ayiman's hand, stared at her and said, "The queen's beauty is shocking. Although Ye Kun is the master of China, he dare not covet her. Now that I have seen the queen's heart, how can I not be happy?"
Ayiman raised her eyes and asked with a red face: "Then what are you..."
"Of course I would love to."
Ye Kun stretched out his hand and took Ayiman into his arms: "I just hope that Your Majesty the Queen will not dislike me in the future."
Aiman went limp and could no longer speak.
Ye Kun was about to take another step forward, but was pushed away by Ayiman.
Ayiman adjusted her hair and smiled softly, "The elders are still outside, waiting for your news. Now that the marriage has been decided, we need to choose a good day for the wedding. We can't rush it."
"Yes, we, the Han Empire, cannot neglect your majesty."
Ye Kun smiled, took Ayiman's hand, returned to the banquet, and said to everyone: "Everyone, Her Majesty the Queen has agreed to marry the Han Dynasty. From now on, we are one family, no one is different from each other."
The Loulan elders cheered together.
Huang Ye and others also laughed secretly.
It’s just that Ye Kun felt a little embarrassed. After all, his stepson Huang Jingzu was also here.
I am old, and still...
When Ye Kun returned to the inn in the evening, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally got Loulan done.
The next day, Lu Yeliang and others discussed the details of the marriage with the elders of the Loulan tribe and set the wedding date for half a month later.
Ye Kun had nothing to do, so he continued to move westward to survey the terrain.
Thousands of miles west of Loulan, all the way to the Tianshan Mountains, is the area under the actual control of China.
The soldiers of the Huaxia Kingdom are still building roads here, moving forward while establishing strongholds and storing food and fodder.
Ye Kun ordered to continue transporting large amounts of food and fodder in preparation for the future westward advance.
The current Ministry of Science and Technology has already developed military compressed biscuits, which are wrapped in tin foil and have a shelf life of up to one year.
There are also dried milk flakes, cane sugar blocks, and sealed beef jerky.
As for firewood, all major strongholds along the road have huge stocks of honeycomb coal and coke.
Transport vehicles and baggage were all being mobilized to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
When the army arrives in the future, they will only need to carry guns, artillery and ammunition.
At the same time, Ye Kun also began the preliminary planning for the governance of Loulan, inspected the dam construction site, and tested the grass grid sand fixation technology.
Jincheng has also begun planning the new city of Loulan.
After a busy half month, Ye Kun returned to Loulan and accomplished something good.
Three days later, Ayiman and Ye Kun were inseparable and in love with each other.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Time flies by so fast, Your Majesty. It seems that I have to stay with you during the Spring Festival. But after the Spring Festival, I will go back to Zhuo County. What will you do?"
"You Han people say that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. I married the emperor, so of course I follow you."
"What about your Loulan Kingdom?"
"Husband and wife are one. My country is your country, so it is natural that I will leave it to you to manage. Just make sure that the Lord of Loulan is a Loulan person."
"Your Majesty is so kind, Ye Kun is touched."
Ye Kun cherished the person in front of him, holding Ayiman's hand and strolling in the garden: "Zhuo County is thousands of miles away from Loulan, and the road is difficult. However, as long as you want to come back in the future, I can arrange it at any time."
Ayiman smiled and said, "When I have a child in the future, I will bring him back when he grows up and let him inherit the throne. But at that time, he should be in the new city of Loulan, not the old city of Loulan."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will manage the ancient city of Loulan better."
At this moment, Huang Ye came running in in a hurry: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent telegram from Zhuo County, saying that our brother, the Grand Emperor Gongsun Zhang, has passed away."
