A few people awkwardly passed by the rice pails. After walking for a long time, Zhao Yun recalled what he had just done and suddenly asked.
"General Li, do ordinary soldiers in Ning'an eat those?
Or is it because we get preferential treatment?”
"These are all standard configurations, according to normal specifications. There is no improvement or reduction."
Lu Bu didn't think anything was wrong after hearing this, but Zhao Yun said in surprise.
"If I read correctly just now, those meals contain a lot of spiritual power.
Vegetables should be of high grade, and meat should be at least fourth to fifth grade, right?"
"Well, almost."
"How is it possible that the entire army eats this?"
Zhao Yun couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly came to his senses and spoke out.
"If you embarrass General Li, you don't need to answer."
"Oh, this is nothing."
Li Yang shook his head.
"Aren't semi-spiritual rice, elixirs, and mutated beast meat a standard part of the meal?
Otherwise, how can we satisfy the high-intensity training of soldiers every day?
Every day's training is a test of will, body, and spiritual power for soldiers. What a waste it would be if after every day's training, time is spent refining spiritual power to support oneself.
Moreover, these are medicated diets prepared by pharmacists and nutritionists, which can recuperate the soldiers' bodies and eliminate hidden injuries during long-term use.
Without these, high-intensity training will shorten your lifespan."
Li Yang said and looked at them doubtfully.
"Isn't that true for you? Compared with training new recruits, extending the combat life of soldiers is much more cost-effective."
"Well."
The words "standard equipment" echoed in Gao Shun's ears for a long time. After wandering around with Lu Bu, he thought that he would eat whatever he encountered. Before, he didn't think there was anything wrong. Being full was already a blessing.
But why do I feel like I haven’t eaten well as a soldier in Ning’an?
Gao Shun began to doubt life, while Zhao Yun was a little better.
Although the situation on Gongsun Zan's side is not too good, he still has plenty of mutated beast meat, and occasionally there are elixirs and the like for recuperation, but...
“Where do you get so many magical herbs and elixirs to feed hundreds of thousands of people three times a day?
Even if the level of the elixir is not high, the amount of light is still an astronomical figure, right?
It’s definitely impossible to pick things in the wild, but you can’t plant them so quickly, right?”
Li Yang shook his head when he heard this and shrugged.
"I don't know much about this, and I'm not responsible for it.
Probably they are also planted. If the so-called yield is not enough...then increase the planting area.
Planting in several plains in turn should be enough, right?"
Several plains.......
The casual words in Li Yang's mouth gave the three of them a heavy blow again. Gao Shun stared at Lu Bu fiercely, and Zhao Yun's eyes turned black and he swallowed.
"Pingyuan? How many more are there?"
"Yeah, just go and circle a piece of the small world. It's a land that hasn't been cultivated for thousands of years. I don't know how many mutated beasts have died on it, and the aura is very rich.
Any area enclosed is fertile soil, take out some of it, and then divide the land and arrange it for farmers.
Then they will uniformly distribute seeds, fertilizers, and provide guidance, and then harvest them together when they are mature.
It's a very simple scale effect. The more you plant, the thinner the cost will be spread. Don't look at the soldiers who eat these every day. In fact, they are not worth anything, just cabbage prices.
Even ordinary workers in the outer ring of Ning'an City can get a meal every now and then, without much pressure, and the prices have been suppressed."
Li Yang said casually, while Zhao Yun fell silent.
Although he was a military commander, perhaps because of his great talent, he was often dragged to work by the group of advisers when he was in Lingzhi.
He was asked to do any kind of work, including spring plowing and breeding, and he also knew something about it.
Although Li Yang said it lightly just now, it seems to be very simple and can be done with hands.
But Zhao Yun understood that this seemingly simple thing reflected the heritage of a territory from the side.
If Ning'an has a strong foundation, the soldiers can eat elixirs and high-level mutated beast meat every day, and the common people can also have an occasional meal without any pressure.
If Lingzhi has insufficient foundation, the soldier can only eat extra meals occasionally. If he is forced to imitate, even if the standard is raised by one level, Lingzhi may collapse directly.
This is the foundation.
Zhao Yun sighed slightly, his expression a little complicated.
From Lingzhi's point of view, I lamented the power of Ning'an.
From the perspective of the human race, I lament the power of Ning'an.
As for Gao Shun next to him...
Well, I cursed and left the group chat.
The corners of Li Yang's mouth raised slightly. He was actually not as thick as he looked.
How could he not know that the food of the Ning'an army was unimaginable to others?
No, he knows.
But he still said it, and the thought involved in it might take three days and three nights to finish.
Anyway, the current result makes him very satisfied, so Zhao Yun will let it go. Gao Shun has begun to doubt life, how can he still have any arrogance?
This feeling made him proud, proud of Ning'an.
"We're almost there, please follow me."
Lu Bu, Gao Shun, and Zhao Yun followed Li Yang into a city gate, and immediately felt like they had entered a completely different world.
There are vines spreading on both sides of the inner road, there are not many buildings, and there are many parks, lakes, and pavilions in the middle, which makes people feel very comfortable.
"This is?"
"This is the core urban area."
After listening to what Li Yang said, Zhao Yun nodded. Apparently he had heard about this mysterious core city for a long time.
But the next moment his attention was attracted by the dense vines.
The green vines made him more and more confused as he looked at them. After a long time, he said in confusion.
"Is this a magical elixir?"
"Yes, the fragrance emitted by this vine can soothe the mind and soothe people's mood."
"Isn't this too big?"
"It's really big, covering the entire core urban area."
Zhao Yun was secretly stunned when he heard this. It would take many days to eat the vines in an entire city, right?
"But why do I feel weird?"
"Because this vine can beat ten of you."
Lu Bu's words were shocking. Gao Shun turned to look at the vine after hearing this, making Zhao Yun look at him in disbelief.
But Zhao Yun saw a trace of fighting intent in Lu Bu's eyes, and when he looked at the vines, he suddenly realized what he was doing.
It was a strange feeling, this was because he sensed a threat.
"General Lu, please restrain yourself a little. Don't be too strong here, otherwise you will..."
"What will happen?"
Lu Bu said excitedly, and Li Yang suddenly stopped and pointed behind Lu Bu.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lu Bu suddenly heard a dull sound and couldn't help but look back.
A 10-foot-tall golden man walked over step by step, holding a golden sword. The earth seemed to tremble under the golden man's feet.
"Otherwise, defense mechanisms will be triggered."
Li Yang shrugged helplessly, while Dian Wei looked at Lu Bu expectantly.
Lu Bu glanced at Dian Wei's expression, and carefully felt the Jin man's background. He was silent for a second, and his aura suddenly calmed down.
"I will spar with it when I have the chance, but let's go over there today and don't keep the king waiting."
