Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

In Gao Yao's mansion, looking at Xiaoyue kneeling on the side, Gao Yao also began to think about how to use Xiaoyue. After all, in addition to her original identity, Xiaoyue had another identity, that is, she became Yu Ji by accident.

"I am Gao Yao, the commander of the Nanhai Commandery. You don't need to know the rest. I have a few questions for you. After you explain them clearly, you can even leave on your own."

"Excuse me, sir."

Listening to Gao Yao's words, Xiao Yue hesitated for a moment but nodded in response. From being transferred to be a maid beside Hu Hai, to following him to the southern border, before entering the southern border, an accident occurred and she was taken away by Cui Wenzi in the middle of the night. Until here, Xiao Yue has been in a state of confusion. The only thing she can be sure of is that everything that happened is related to Gao Lan, and she seems to look exactly like Gao Lan.

"What was your identity before you followed Cui Wenzi?"

"My Lord, I am the maidservant accompanying Master Hu Hai."

"Do you like Yi Xiaochuan?"

"what?"

"You like Meng Yi, right?"

After hearing what Gao Yao said, Xiao Yue didn't understand at first. When Gao Yao mentioned Meng Yi, Xiao Yue immediately felt awkward and didn't know how to start.

At this time, Gao Yao was already convinced. He didn't even know whether he should be impressed by the continuity of the plot or Yi Xiaochuan's luck with women. From Lu Zhi to Lu Su, from Yu Shu to Xiao Yue, this did not include the modern Gao Lan and a captured Xiongnu captive De Xiang. All these women liked Yi Xiaochuan very much.

As for Xiaoyue, it would have been fine if she had been discovered by Yi Xiaochuan without his intervention, but now she actually fell in love with Yi Xiaochuan again. As soon as Gao Yao asked, just by looking at Xiaoyue's hesitant expression, he knew what was going on. Gao Yao was convinced. There was no need to think about it. It was probably because she was attracted to Yi Xiaochuan again along the way.

"It doesn't matter, whether you like it or not, it's your own choice. I just want to remind you, do you know what your situation is now?"

"This slave doesn't know"

"To put it simply, you were sold to me by Meng Yi"

"What? No, it's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. Don't worry. I'll give you a chance. You can go to the post station and ask Meng Yi right now. If there is anything wrong, I can let you go and even send someone to escort you back to Xianyang."

"Is what your Excellency said true?"

"Of course, it's true, but it won't be too late for you to have a meal and rest. I can tell from your appearance that you are exhausted from the long journey, Lu Su."

"Husband"

"Make arrangements for Miss Xiaoyue to have a good meal and take a rest."

"Here, Miss Xiaoyue, please follow me."

Under Gao Yao's order, Lu Su came out directly and took Xiaoyue away. For Gao Yao, Xiaoyue was just a girl, so naturally, he would not take her so seriously. The important point was that Xiaoyue could not become his sister, nor could she become Yu Ji. Xiaoyue could only be Xiaoyue. If she was not, she would have to die.

After Lu Su took Xiaoyue away, Gao Yao immediately began to write. The letter was not written to others, but to Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. Xiaoyue was just a very important woman to others, but to Li Si's son Li You, Gao Yao's purpose was also here.

"Two Bulls"

"Lord"

"Immediately send this letter to the residence of Prime Minister Li Si in Xianyang as fast as possible."

"Here"

"Also have someone escort 50 jars of fine wine and cloth to Xianyang and give them to Li Si. Don't worry, just keep them safe."

"Here"

After arranging these things, Gao Yao continued to study the map of the southern border without any hurry. Gao Yao did want to take over the entire southern border, but thinking is one thing and doing is another. During the Qin Dynasty, the people of Nanyue were actually tribal in nature. In the later period, many countries in Southeast Asia were still in the tribal period. Even if they established a country, they could not even be compared with a county in the Qin Dynasty.

It seems like a good thing, but in fact, Gao Yao thinks it is not a good thing. Being too backward means that there is no corresponding productivity, and it is also difficult to communicate. It can only be suppressed by force and naturalized.

Gao Yao has already sent many people to cut down trees. Cutting down trees is only one aspect. Wood can be used to build houses and ships. There are five major rivers in Southeast Asia, namely the Red River, the Mekong River, the Chao Phraya River, the Salween River and the Irrawaddy River.

In ancient times, when technology was not yet developed, rivers were undoubtedly a very fast and convenient means of transportation, and the requirements for unique boats were not high. Of course, there were definitely some dangers in the river, such as some underwater creatures and crocodiles. However, with groups of humans traveling and the presence of weapons, crocodiles generally would not take the initiative to provoke.

On the one hand, logging can provide more building materials, and on the other hand, it can be used to equip ships. At the same time, it can also be used to pave roads in advance. These important rivers can solve a lot of transportation problems. Taking Nanhai County as the base, it began to gradually spread to the surrounding areas, connecting various rivers and building major roads. At the same time, based on these rivers, all other tribes were annexed. Those who were willing to merge would be merged in, and those who were unwilling to merge would be solved on the spot.

At the same time, the entire southern border is connected all the way to the Indian Ocean region. Only in this way can Gao Yao's goal be achieved. Since he is going to do it, Gao Yao will naturally do his best. At the same time, Gao Yao has already begun to lay out. Now the main policy under Gao Yao is that no matter whether you are a member of the previous Nanyue tribe or not, you must start to semi-force these people to walk out of the mountains and forests and live in villages and towns.

Gaoyao also directly implemented the three-level management system of later generations, the three-level management model of village, town, and county. This management model is undoubtedly very efficient. One of the great advantages of the Qin Dynasty is that in addition to the nobles of Qin itself, in fact, looking at the whole world, because of the policies of Qin Shihuang, there are actually relatively few wealthy families.

The same approach would have been impossible to succeed in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Aristocratic families were everywhere, and all officials were appointed and dismissed from them. Nearly 90% of officials in the country were from aristocratic families, and more than 70% of the support was in the hands of aristocratic families. This was also a key reason for the subsequent Five Barbarians' Invasion of China.
