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

Chapter 88: Xiaoyue, the imperial maid? Gao Lan?

It was not until he entered the main hall of the imperial palace that the solemn and huge palace gave Yi Xiaochuan a great sense of oppression. It was also the first time that Yi Xiaochuan experienced the majesty of the ancient emperor.

Fortunately, Meng Tian was always by his side, so Yi Xiaochuan did not make a fool of himself.

From entering the palace to leaving the palace, he was just called to pay his respects to the Emperor Qin Shi Huang. The rest of the things were basically done by Meng Tian beside him. Even Yi Xiaochuan only saw a general appearance of the Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the end. There was nothing he could do about it. This was the rule in the main hall.

Yi Xiaochuan also understood that Meng Tian's move was to seek another military position for Meng Yi, so that he could record his military merits and prepare for future promotions.

"Meng Yi, please step back and wait in the side hall."

"Here"

After a brief exchange, Ying Zheng sent Meng Yi to the side hall with just one sentence, while Ying Zheng still had something to say to Meng Tian. At this time, Meng Yi was no longer the ancient Meng Yi, a good minister of Qin Shi Huang. He was only Meng Tian's younger brother. The Meng family had served the Qin Dynasty for three generations, so it was natural for him to win over Ying Zheng. However, when it came to the real big things, Meng Yi was not qualified to listen.

Yi Xiaochuan came to the side hall and waited for Meng Tian. The so-called side hall was actually where the court officials were before being summoned by Qin Shihuang. However, there were no tables, chairs or benches here. It was called a side hall, but in fact it was more like a long corridor.

"This is the fine wine that His Majesty has gifted me, sir."

Just when Yi Xiaochuan was looking around boredly, a man slowly came to Yi Xiaochuan with a bronze tray in his hand. It was actually a tray from this period, with a glass of wine on it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

Yi Xiaochuan was not stupid, so he just accepted it obediently. He then picked up the wine bottle and drank it all. Just as Yi Xiaochuan put the wine bottle back, the palace maid raised her head and their eyes met. Yi Xiaochuan was stunned in an instant.

"Gao...Gao Lan, why are you here?"

When Yi Xiaochuan saw the appearance of this palace maid clearly, he was stunned. She looked exactly like his girlfriend Gao Lan before he traveled through time, that is, Gao Yao's sister.

"Master Meng Yi, your servant Xiao Yue"

"what?"

"Lord Meng Yi, this is your Majesty's palace. Please inspect it, Lord Meng Yi."

"Gao Lan? You really don't remember me, Xiaoyue, who is Xiaoyue?"

"Master Meng Yi, I will take my leave."

Seeing Yi Xiaochuan looking at her naked eyes, Xiaoyue was so scared that she instinctively retreated and left the side hall.

At this time, Yi Xiaochuan still hadn't come back to his senses. He was still staring blankly at the direction where Xiaoyue left.

"Meng Yi, what are you doing?"

"General Meng Tian"

"What's wrong with you? What's that expression?"

"No, it's okay..."

Hearing Meng Tian's question, Yi Xiaochuan hesitated for a moment and waved his hand without saying what he was thinking. Because Yi Xiaochuan was also unsure at this moment. Was the person just now Gao Lan, or did they just look the same, or was it something else?

However, there is no doubt that Yi Xiaochuan has already set his sights on Xiaoyue. He must find out Xiaoyue's identity. This may be related to whether he can return to the real world.

In the southern border, the county seat of Nanhai County, after more than five months of renovation, the entire county seat finally has a brand new look. The ten-meter-high city wall is enough to daunt people. This height of the city wall is rare even in the entire Qin Dynasty. It is definitely a rare city, especially in the city. The main roads are all paved with gravel and supplemented with mud and sand to make the roads as smooth as possible.

The entire city is also clearly divided, with houses arranged in an orderly manner. The administrative area, residential area, commercial area, and military area are all carefully divided.

Although the originally dilapidated county town looked large, it only accommodated a total population of 10,000 people. Now, the number of residents that the entire city can accommodate has increased to more than 40,000.

Gao Yao also paid special attention to health and hygiene issues, opened water channels, and performed regular cleaning work. Although some people disliked this job, they could not resist the high salary offered by Gao Yao.

In ancient times, various plagues caused by health problems often resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people. In ancient times, there were no corresponding medical and technical defense measures, which led to the centralized incineration method being adopted most of the time.

On this basis, Gao Yao invited doctors to set up medical clinics, where patients could get medicines and see doctors at their own expense, but the doctors' salaries were actually paid by Gao Yao.

The tense days that had begun since arriving in the southern border were greatly relieved with the completion of the construction of the Nanhai County City. With the success of the county city, the ratio of Nanyue people to Qin people reached 30:70 under Gao Yao's deliberate promotion. 30% of the Nanyue people began to live in the city, adapting to the new houses, lifestyles, and eating habits.

Gao Yao's wine business and Nanhai County's natural method of drying sea salt provided Gao Yao with free money. Moreover, as the first batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes from the space were mature, although the output was only one-third of that in the space, the planting area was very large, which also made Gao Yao get rid of the food crisis.

Water wheels, canals, and irrigation for rice fields. The entire Nanhai County has completely changed in just half a year. With the county town as the center, many of the former county towns have been directly abandoned. Many people would rather choose to live closer to the county town than live in the so-called county town.

Gao Yao also put forward strict requirements in this regard. Xiao He would personally check the population limit and geographical restrictions of each village.

The coverage of the living area varies with the number of people. Once there are too many people living in the same area, it will lead to competition for resources. Water, trees, arable land, and wild animals are all part of the resources, and they must be distributed relatively evenly.

Cao Shen's military operations in Guilin and Xiangjun were also very effective. In fact, these were originally the troubles Zhao Tuo had created for Gao Yao, betting that Gao Yao would not dare to do so. However, Gao Yao had a legitimate reason and sufficient confidence, so Zhao Tuo could only temporarily endure it and would not easily get angry. After all, Gao Yao was the Nanhai Wei.

"My Lord, the person you want has been found and will arrive in Nanhai County within three days."

In Gao Yao's mansion, Gao Yao was waving his weapon vigorously. Cao Shen's voice interrupted Gao Yao's movements, but Gao Yao was excited. After all, this person's arrival meant that Gao Yao's reward was coming.
