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

Chapter 191 After several years of planning, it’s time to close the net!

After Gao Yao received the shipbuilding blueprint reward, he never stopped developing his navy, or more precisely, the navy. In this era of relatively backward transportation, sailing is undoubtedly very fast. It can not only undertake combat missions, but also cargo transportation.

Inland rivers and open seas have their own uses. As for ships, the Qin Dynasty was mainly based on tower ships. Of course, the Qin Dynasty did not attach importance to the development of the navy. During the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty had a very good relationship with the State of Jin on the Yellow River. When there was a famine in Jin, the Qin State sent food to Jin. The food was transported from Shaanxi to Shanxi by boat. This diplomacy was called the Battle of Boating in history.

However, compared with the Qin army, the role of the navy was much smaller, especially after the founding of the Qin Dynasty. There was no large-scale institutional navy in this period.

Especially for the landing warfare, there were only inland river landing warfare used by Qi during the Warring States Period, and there was no real landing warfare at sea. What Gao Yao wanted now was to completely occupy the natural advantage of the navy before others could react to the power of the landing warfare.

Especially since the Southern Territory is located in the south, there are countless rivers and streams, so building roads is inevitable. However, the speed of people and horses is definitely slightly inferior to that of ships of the same period.

The navy also has its own shortcomings, that is, it is quite restrictive, with both advantages and disadvantages. Gao Yao is not too worried about this. As long as it is used reasonably enough, these problems can be avoided.

Gao Yao let Xiao He know about this because Qin Shi Huang's event was imminent, and Gao Yao had to make more preparations to avoid any accidents. Xiao He was smart and trustworthy enough to reassure Gao Yao.

Let Xiao He know that he was preparing to give Xiao He confidence and make more arrangements. Xiao He was definitely an expert in local government affairs and stabilizing the rear. Although there were remnants of the nobles of the six countries and even some nobles during this period, they were definitely inferior to the aristocratic families of the Han Dynasty.

Especially in the southern region where Gao Yao was located, there were essentially no nobles. Gao Yao said who was a noble and who was a noble. Gao Yao did not want his subordinates to become the soil for aristocratic families, so these so-called aristocratic families would not be able to exist.

Even Lady Lu Zhi had to strictly follow this matter. Li Mo would not give the Lu family a chance to grow. Since the southern border, people from the Lu family have come to him one after another. The Lu family is a large family. Although Lu Gong only has Lu Zhi and Lu Su, there are still many other people in the Lu family.

The Lü family was considered a prestigious family during the Six Kingdoms period, and Lü Gong was naturally reluctant at first, but Lü Gong himself was not a stupid person. The more important reason for his disagreement with Gao Yao was that their political philosophies were different. Lü Gong was still dissatisfied with the Qin Dynasty, but Gao Yao at that time acted like a die-hard fan of the Qin Dynasty, praising the Qin Dynasty and Qin Shi Huang in various ways.

There was no other way at the time. On the one hand, Gao Yao was just a soldier, and all he was thinking about was how to live a stable life. If there was no system, he would even consider hiding his identity and living a stable life. So he naturally wouldn't say anything that was detrimental to the Qin Dynasty. Who knew what Lu Gong was like? What if he teamed up with his servants to report him?

On the other hand, Gao Yao's main idea at that time was to join the Qin army and make achievements, win the favor of Qin Shihuang, and then assist Qin Shihuang in ruling the world. However, the gap between ideal and reality was huge. If no one recommended him, there was no chance at all to become an official. What's more, Gao Yao couldn't even recognize the basic characters used in Qin at that time.

As for the system of military merit, it almost eliminated Gao Yao's chance to meet Qin Shi Huang or even to be tested by Qin Shi Huang. It was too difficult to succeed, otherwise Gao Yao would not have come to this point today.

Although Lu Gong was quite dissatisfied with Gao Yao for taking his father-in-law to the southern border, after a long time, Lu Gong had to say that it was really fragrant.

The development of the southern border can be said to be a big change every year. At the beginning, Gao asked Lu Gong to be responsible for teaching people to read and understand reason, and Lu Gong was still very reluctant. However, as Lu Gong's reputation for cultivating talents spread, when Lu Gong went out, basically many people who saw Lu Gong had to pay him a gentleman's greeting. The respect and reputation he received made Lu Gong begin to like this feeling.

Moreover, Gao Yao was in charge of all the food and drink expenses in the southern border. His treatment was many times better than when he was in Pei County before. Naturally, Lu Gong gradually began to abandon his previous contempt for Gao Yao and sincerely recognized what Gao Yao did.

And now even the people of the Lu family have begun to appear in the southern border, and they are also working under Gao Yao. Lu Zhi's two elder brothers are of course not different from the original history. They are children from Lu Gong's brothers and Lu Zhi's cousins. Lu Shizhi and Lu Ze are already working under Gao Yao. Their abilities are not outstanding, but they are not bad. This can be regarded as a disguised core team being formed.

After Xiao He heard about the navy, Gao Yao originally thought that he could go back, but Xiao He became interested and insisted on meeting this so-called navy. Gao Yao had no choice but to let Yu Dong take Xiao He to see it. At the same time, he sent more than a dozen personal guards to Xiao He, and Gao Yao himself returned directly to the city.

After all, there are still many things that need to be prepared for Qin Shi Huang. Lu Sheng is one of Gao Yao's most important moves, but he is not his only move.

At this time, Gao Yao began to send a large number of people to Xianyang. This was also calculated long ago. From merchants, to women and children, to singers, and trained killers, Gao Yao had already sent nearly a thousand people to Xianyang.

According to Gao Yao's plan, it would take several years to make the arrangements. If his plan succeeded, the court would fall into chaos. If not, he would have to force the court into chaos!
