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

"Yes!" The general took the order and left. A moment later, he disappeared into the night with a team of lightly equipped scouts.

At this moment, time was more precious to Zhang Han than gold. He knew that any delay could lead to the danger of the entire army being annihilated. Therefore, he did not dare to stop for a moment and issued orders one after another decisively.

Similar to Zhang Han's busy situation, not far from them, the vanguard troops under the mysterious figure Yi Xiaochuan were also in trouble. What made them even more desperate was that they had received news that the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was preparing to break out. This undoubtedly made the already critical situation worse, and everyone's heart was shrouded in a thick haze.

This also represents an even more desperate news, that is, the imperial army trapped in Heilongkou has become an isolated existence, and the rear army mainly has baggage. This means that the hundreds of thousands of imperial troops in Heilongkou are almost completely out of food. Once the enemy occupies the valley entrance, within three days, there is no need to fight, and hunger alone is enough to make the army completely collapse.

On the other side, in Nanhai County, in Gao Yao's mansion, an important conversation was still going on. Gao Yao smiled and waved to Tianci who was standing not far away. Tianci was like a happy little deer, jumping and running to Gao Yao's side, calling sweetly: "Daddy..." His childish voice still had a soft taste, which sounded very cute.

After all, this place is in ancient society, which is very different from the modern society. Gao Yao knew this very well, so he did not force the implementation of the so-called modern education concept. He believed that no matter which era one lived in, one should follow the rules of that era. Gao Yao entrusted Tianci's basic education to the Four Haos of Shangshan with confidence. After all, as his eldest son, Tianci must have received a lot of teachings.

At this time, Gao Yao looked at the lively and lovely Tianci and gently reminded him, "Tianci, don't be rude."

After hearing his father's teachings, Tianci nodded obediently, then turned to Li Si and others and said respectfully: "Here, Tianci, meet you gentlemen!" After that, he solemnly bowed deeply to everyone to show his respect.

Seeing Tianci being so sensible and polite, the gentlemen present all smiled with satisfaction and nodded in response. Xue Ye in particular stood up immediately and returned the greeting to Gao Tianci, expressing his admiration for this clever young man.

However, Xue Ye's salute made Li Si and Feng Quji feel awkward for a moment, and they all stood up and saluted Gao Tianci. The reason why the people present did not stand up was not because they were disrespectful to Gao Yao, but because Gao Yao was still a general. Gao Tianci was at best the son of a general. It was natural for everyone to show respect to him, but it seemed not very polite to salute him.

After all, it would take until Gao Yao became king before he could perform such a ceremony. However, at this moment, the situation became delicate, because Xue Ye had already performed the ceremony first. As a result, the other two felt a little embarrassed. If they did not perform the ceremony at this moment, Gao Yao would inevitably feel that he was treated differently. Thinking of this, the two had no choice but to stand up.

At this moment, Gao Yao raised his hand to stop their seemingly meaningless actions, and said slowly: "Okay, everyone, please take a seat! Don't be bound by these red tape. I invited you all here today, firstly to reassure you. You know, the war in the southern region is about to end! In the next period of time, what the southern region urgently needs is recuperation and vigorous development. So, I really want to hear what good ideas you have for this? As for the second one, it is about my son Tianci. I want to find a teacher with both virtue and art for him. I wonder if you have any suitable candidates to recommend to me?"

When everyone heard what Gao Yao said, the faces of several people at the scene could not help but change slightly. Gao Yao's words contained a lot of meaning. He mentioned that he wanted to find a good teacher for his eldest son. From this point of view, the importance of this teacher position is beyond words. Because it is not only related to the child's education and growth, but also means that to some extent, he has a part of the right to speak and influence in the future of the South Territory.

It can even be said that once the teacher is selected, the security of the southern border will be more secure. For both Li Si and Feng Quji, the importance of such a key position is self-evident. If they can get him, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to purchasing a reliable insurance in the southern border.

For Wu She and Xue Ye, this was also a rare and crucial opportunity. On the other hand, Han Xin, Cao Shen, and Xiao He did not need to care about this opportunity at all. They were highly respected ministers under Gao Yao, and the trust between them was already deeply rooted. There was no need to further prove anything by competing for this teaching position.

"Teachers will certainly choose their disciples, but disciples also have the right to choose their favorite teachers. For the rest of today, let Tianci have an in-depth exchange with you gentlemen. Report to me tomorrow about your decision."

"Yes." After hearing Gao Yao's words, Tianci nodded obediently. Gao Yao then looked up at Li Si and the others in the room.

"Okay, everyone. Things cannot be accomplished overnight. You all have your own strengths and weaknesses. If anyone is unwilling, you can withdraw now. If not, we can discuss the development of the southern border tomorrow. Let's leave it at that for today."

"Yes!" After hearing Gao Yao's words, the people present did not intend to refute and responded one after another. Gao Yao had already said this much, and expressing his unwillingness at this time would be tantamount to making himself uncomfortable.

Gao Yao did not say anything more. There were indeed a lot of things to do now, especially the business part. In the past, Lu Zhi had always done it for him, but now Lu Zhi could not take over these things. There were many accounts to be taken care of every day.

At this time, the business system of the entire southern border has been fully established, but there are still many disadvantages. The first point is that it is too concentrated. A large number of merchants are basically gathered in Nanhai County. This has led to a one-to-two or even one-to-three business development model in the entire southern border. This cannot be blamed on the merchants. Even the roads that Gaoyao has opened still cannot allow everyone to travel unimpeded in the first place. Another key point is that Guilin County and Xiang County lack pillar industries.
