Zhao Yao received a reply from his maternal grandfather and his uncle.
His maternal grandfather said he would send someone to Eastern Wu to invite shipbuilding craftsmen and then send them to Qingzhou. He would also help Zhao Yao recruit other maritime personnel, such as sailors, captains, and the guard team.
Whatever Zhao Yao wanted, his maternal grandfather, Liang Shuren, would prepare it for him thoroughly, ensuring he didn't have to worry about these matters.
His uncle, upon learning that Zhao Yao wanted to form a naval fleet to do business with foreign countries, was naturally very supportive. However, the Great Zhou forbade sea travel. The fleets of the Great Zhou were not allowed to do business with foreign countries overseas, so Zhao Yao's idea couldn't be realized for the time being.
