Early in the morning, Deputy Marshal Hao Youcai stretched himself and stood on a relatively high rock to look into the distance; after drifting on the sea for a month, he finally set foot on solid ground.
This down-to-earth feeling is really refreshing, and this intense contrast, coupled with the changes in Anyang's development, has greatly increased Hao Youcai's cultivation and understanding. When he woke up, he had risen from the middle stage of the early Nascent Soul to the peak of the early Nascent Soul!
He was just a sailor in the Qi Refining Stage back then, but in four years he became a Yuanying Stage master! This transformation is a miracle, but it is very common among the senior officials in Anyang.
This is the biggest superficial reason for the rise of the National Era. In the past, if you wanted to become a Yuanying master, you had to use all kinds of methods and rack your brains. A hundred years to achieve the Yuanying was considered a record. But in the National Era, especially in the stage when the country was just established and expanded, it was almost common to achieve the Yuanying in three to five years!
Not to mention generals and officers, even ordinary soldiers have made obvious progress - it's just that the soldier mortality rate is too high.
Soon, all kinds of long howls were heard around. After landing with great difficulty, they finally had a good sleep. Of course, because of the shifts of night watch, some soldiers had just gone to bed. When they heard the noisy howls, they couldn't help but curse a few words.
Fortunately, last night was very quiet and nothing outrageous happened.
Hao Youcai, who rarely uses magic, washed himself step by step, treating it as a special kind of enjoyment. He then drank a cup of hot tea and started his day. On the sea, during this month-long sea trip, there were strict regulations on food every day: tea, soybeans (and their products), and various vegetables were required.
This was a rule set by Li Xian. No one knew the reason at first, but soldiers had to obey orders, so they didn't think much of this strange rule. Drinking tea was normal, and having soybean sprouts and tofu every day was also good. Not to mention all kinds of vegetables. Floating on the sea, it was a pleasure to look at the green vegetables every day.
There were only merchants. At the beginning, these merchants didn't care about anything and just picked up fish from the ocean to eat. After a long time of contact with the Dragon Palace and the sea creatures, everyone knew that there were many marine lives that had no status in the ocean, such as ordinary fish and shrimps, which were just like plants on land, and no one would care about them.
But after a few days of eating, problems began to appear. Many of the merchant caravan crew members began to feel weak, pale, and sweating. On the contrary, no one in the navy had such problems. At this time, Hao Youcai finally realized that the wise king had known about this situation for a long time.
But why
After drinking tea, eating soybeans and vegetables for a few days, all the crew members gradually recovered. Then, the merchants in Anyang, who were sailing on the ocean for the first time, finally made a decision - this matter must be kept secret for as long as possible. This advantage alone is enough to give Anyang's ocean caravan countless advantages.
While he was thinking, a personal soldier came to Hao Youcai and said, "General, the prime minister of the southern Yue Kingdom is here to visit."
"Oh? So fast? The State of Wu actually let them go?" Hao Youcai was a little surprised.
