Chapter 499

Gu Yi did not intend to keep any of the leaders of the various Shanyue tribes.

From now on, there would be no name "Shanyue people."

Therefore, this original Shanyue tribal system naturally needed to be abolished.

Without leaders, the threat of the Shanyue people would be greatly reduced.

Besides this.

The only difference between the Shanyue people and the Han people might be that their hairstyles were relatively unique.

The Shanyue people were equally proficient in farming and tilling the land.

Under Gu Yi's arrangement.

These Shanyue people cut down quite a few dense forests in the Lingnan region.

Things like forests, of course, have no small utility.

But the key to the problem now is...

Because the Lingnan region was not highly developed, there were trees everywhere.

These trees had seriously affected the traffic roads.

Resulting in Lingnan, although very close to Jiangdong, being unable to establish very close connections with each other.

Using the cut-down trees to build bridges and construct houses further led the Shanyue toward Sinicization.

And after the Shanyue were pacified by Gu Yi.

Shi Xie of Jiaozhou also personally brought his sons and grandsons to Jiangdong to announce his surrender to Gu Yi.

To express his sincerity.

Shi Xie also offered his youngest legitimate daughter to Gu Yi as a concubine.

Although Shi Xie looked like a rough fellow.

His youngest daughter, Shi Ying, was incomparably delicate.

How could Prime Minister Gu not want a beautiful concubine delivered to his door?

However.

With the pacification of the south.

The problem of how to properly govern the vast territory also followed one after another.

PS: The Shanyue part here adopts a fast-forward writing style, because you handsome readers don't seem to like reading Shanyue plots. The next chapter returns to the main line, Prime Minister Gu is about to return to Chang'an, and everything is on the right track.
