The only difference is that their architectural style was preserved.
As for cultural integration, just like Gu Yi had done in the Northern Border in the past, it was just more direct this time.
He commissioned the writing of the "Hua Yi Thousand Character Classic."
And offered a reward for it.
"If a Yue child can recite the Classic of Filial Piety, their whole family is exempt from one year of corvée labor."
This was to stimulate each tribe's passion for learning Han Chinese and to have people develop the ancient Mei Pass, expanding it into a "dual-track road" shaded by banyan trees, with "ten-mile pavilions" for merchants and travelers to rest.
The commercial value of Lingnan is undoubtedly far greater than that of the Northern Border.
Gu Yi was certain of this.
—To get rich, build roads first!
This is one of the unchanging principles of any era.
As long as there is enough profit, it can attract merchants and travelers.
