Liu Mingzhi walked unhurriedly to a large iron basin, stopped, and began to examine the ingredients inside.

Suddenly.

Liu Mingzhi paused slightly as he turned his head to examine the ingredients in the large iron basin, his expression turning somewhat surprised as he fixed his gaze on the large iron basin on the left.

The reason was that the large iron basins on the left were filled with seaweed.

Roughly speaking, there were at least twenty or thirty large iron basins, each filled to the brim with seaweed.

Liu Mingzhi silently withdrew his gaze, smiled faintly, and turned to look at Zheng Jizhong, who was standing behind him.

"General, where did all this seaweed come from?"

Zheng Jizhong tilted his head slightly and glanced at the twenty or thirty large iron basins filled with seaweed. He then raised his hands and cupped them in a respectful gesture towards Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, these seaweed pieces were salvaged by the soldiers stationed in various coastal cities, some by soldiers responsible for fishing for various kinds of seafood, and others were purchased from merchant caravans from Western countries."

Liu Mingzhi nodded knowingly and then asked loudly, "General, is seaweed plentiful in the Abbasid Caliphate and other Western countries?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jizhong immediately replied, "Your Majesty, there are many such things. Ever since our Great Dragon Dynasty's western expeditionary army completely conquered all the territories of India and the Abbasid Caliphate, in my memory, such things have never stopped."

In recent years, the brothers in charge of supplies have been sending over a batch of dried kelp every now and then.

This seaweed is what was delivered within the last seven days.

Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, then slowly turned around and looked again at the large iron basins filled with seaweed.

"General, this seaweed is a good thing; it can provide the soldiers with excellent nutrition."

However, there is nothing absolutely good in this world.

While kelp is nutritious, eating too much of it can harm your health.

Therefore, the amount of seaweed supplied to the soldiers must be carefully controlled.

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's earnest instructions, Zheng Jizhong immediately bowed slightly to him.

"Your Majesty, the brothers of the army physicians have already explained these matters to your old ministers and others."

Regarding the soldiers' meals, we, the commanders, prepared them almost entirely according to the instructions given in advance by the brothers who were the army doctors.

This situation wasn't limited to the main military camp in the west of the city; it was the same in all other military camps throughout the region.

After hearing Zheng Jizhong's loud reply, Liu Mingzhi smiled and nodded slightly.

"That's very good, that's very good."

Since the army doctors have already considered this possibility, then I, this young master, have nothing to worry about.

After responding to Zheng Jizhong's words with a smile, Liu Mingzhi turned and walked directly toward the wooden racks where various kinds of meat were hanging.

"General, are all those meats hanging on those wooden racks enough for today, or for several days?"

When Zheng Jizhong heard Young Master Liu ask him this question, he hesitated slightly before raising his hands and clasping them together in a fist salute to Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, this old minister is really not very clear about this matter."

General Lü is usually in charge of military supplies and provisions, so it's best to let him answer you.

As soon as Zheng Jizhong finished speaking, Lü Sanlin quickly quickened his pace to catch up with Young Master Liu, and then immediately raised his hands and clasped them together in a fist salute to Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, the meat on the wooden racks ahead represents the food consumed over the past two days."

"Two days' worth?"

"Indeed, Your Majesty."

Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, slowly turning his head to scan the rows of wooden shelves in front of him, which displayed or hung various kinds of meat, while silently estimating in his mind.

A moment later, he turned around with a smile, looked at Zheng Jizhong and his group, and nodded slightly.

"Hahaha, overall, it's not bad!"

As soon as Liu Mingzhi uttered these cheerful words, Zheng Jizhong, Zhang Yaohe, Li Zhihai, Lü Sanlin, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yue'er."

Upon hearing her father's soft call, the little cutie immediately turned her fair and slender neck and looked at Young Master Liu.

"Hey, Yue'er is here, Father, please speak."

After raising his eyebrows slightly and stretching his body a couple of times, Liu Mingzhi turned around with an unchanged smile and gently gestured towards a large iron basin filled with carrots.

"My dear daughter, here, wash a carrot for your father."

"Mmm Good."

After answering Young Master Liu's question in a sweet voice with her lips slightly parted, the little cutie immediately took graceful steps toward one of the large iron basins filled with carrots.

She stopped in front of the large iron basin, first bending her slender waist slightly to pick up two small carrots from the basin in front of her, then turning around and walking straight to the bucket a few steps away.

In no time, the little cutie, while munching on a carrot in her jade-like hand, walked gracefully to Young Master Liu and stopped in front of him.

"Daddy, these carrots taste crisp, sweet, and very tender. You should try some."

Liu Mingzhi casually took the carrot from the little cutie, shook off the water with a little force, and put it directly into his mouth.

"Click."

With a crisp sound, Young Master Liu chewed the carrot in his mouth a few times, nodded with a satisfied smile.

"Mmm, mmm."

"Crisp, sweet, tender, and refreshing; the taste is indeed quite good."

After swallowing the carrot in his mouth, Liu Mingzhi turned around with a smile and looked at Zheng Jizhong and his group.

"General, brothers."

I have already seen where the soldiers live, where they eat, and what their daily meals are.

Whether it's the soldiers' living quarters or their daily meals, I am extremely satisfied with everything.

Now, it's time for us to head to the drill ground outside the camp and meet with the soldiers.

Upon hearing what Young Master Liu said, Zheng Jizhong and his group all turned to the side and waved gently to Young Master Liu and his daughter, Xiao Ke'ai.

"Your Majesty, please!"

"Princess, please!"

"Hahahaha, together, together."

With a smile, Liu Mingzhi took a bite of the carrot in his hand and set off towards the outside of the military camp. Little Cutie, Zheng Jizhong, and the others silently followed in Liu's footsteps.

Along the way, Chen Yang quickly left for a while, and soon returned to the group with his mount.

After about half a cup of tea's time, Young Master Liu and his group arrived at the drill ground on the east side of the military camp at a leisurely pace.

As soon as Liu Mingzhi and his entourage stepped onto the training ground, the expressions on the faces of the more than 10,000 Great Dragon soldiers instantly became excited.

Immediately afterwards, more than 10,000 soldiers knelt down on one knee before Liu, who was walking at the front.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty and Your Highness the Princess."

Long live the Emperor! Long live the Princess! Long live the Princess!

In an instant, the deafening shouts of more than 10,000 Great Dragon soldiers echoed across the vast training ground.

The deafening shouts spread in all directions across the training ground the instant they rang out, while also soaring into the cloudless blue sky.

Liu Mingzhi turned his head to look at the scene in front of him, took a deep breath with his lips slightly parted, and then solemnly straightened his clothes.

Soon, he turned slightly to the side and gently waved to Li Zhihai, who was holding Feng Xing's hand.

"Zhihai, your mount."

"Yes."

Li Zhihai led Fengxing swiftly to Young Master Liu's side, respectfully handing Fengxing's reins to him.

"Your Majesty, the reins."

After taking the reins from Fengxing, Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and gently stroked Fengxing's flowing mane a few times.

Immediately, he nimbly flipped over and mounted the swift horse.

Immediately afterwards, he squeezed his legs against the belly of the swift horse and gave a soft shout.

"drive!"

"Hey."

"Hey."

Feng Xing sneezed twice and slowly carried his master towards the formation of more than 10,000 dragon warriors ahead.

At this moment, on the training ground, more than 10,000 Great Dragon soldiers were arranged in four square formations, with a cross-shaped path between the four formations.

The more than 10,000 soldiers of the Great Dragon Army in the four formations looked at Young Master Liu riding towards them, and their expressions and eyes became increasingly excited.

When Liu Mingzhi rode his Fengxing horse to the western entrance of the formation, he immediately released the reins.

Immediately, he solemnly and slowly surveyed the more than 10,000 soldiers in the four formations, while gently raising his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Brothers, no need for formalities, no need for formalities at all."

As Liu Mingzhi uttered these three sentences, he immediately gathered all his true energy.

Therefore, although his voice was not very loud, his words were clearly heard by every soldier of the Great Dragon Army.

As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, deafening shouts echoed across the vast training ground once again.

"We thank Your Majesty and Your Highness the Princess."

After the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Great Dragon Army got up, they still looked excitedly at Young Master Liu, who was riding his horse slowly forward, and slowly turned their necks.

"Brothers, it has been several years since we parted ways."

"It's been years, brothers, how are you all doing?"

"Your Majesty, we are all well!"

As Liu Mingzhi listened to the unanimous shouts of the more than 10,000 soldiers in the four formations, he chuckled with a broad smile.

"Hahaha, haha~ hahahahaha."

"Brothers, to be honest, the question I asked earlier was unnecessary."

You must be wondering why I would say that.
It's actually quite simple. The moment I approached your formation, I began to carefully observe your expressions.

Before I met you all, I was a little worried that you might have some difficulties with food and lodging.

However, when I saw your faces, I immediately realized that I had been worrying for nothing.

Good heavens, I was shocked when I saw it!

You all look so radiant and glowing; you seem to have more energy and vitality than I do.

In other words, I know the identities of my brothers, and I know that you are all elite soldiers who have been through countless battles in our Great Dragon Dynasty.

Otherwise, I would have thought I was seeing over ten thousand rich young masters, a bunch of wealthy scions showing their mercy to wrestlers!

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's teasing words, the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Great Dragon Army couldn't help but chuckle.

At that moment, all ten thousand-plus Dragon Warriors understood.

Their emperor is still the same emperor who could set aside his noble status and mingle with all his soldiers.

The soldiers of the various battalions under the Six Guards of the New Army were overjoyed at this moment.

His Majesty has not forgotten his brothers, the soldiers who once fought alongside him in the north and south, and in the east and west, just because he has been sitting on that supreme chair for a long time.

As for most of the soldiers in the various battalions under the Longwu Guard, they were also very happy and moved.

Although only a small number of soldiers under the Dragon Guard had followed Young Master Liu on campaigns, ever since he took the throne, he had never treated any soldier differently based on their status.

Now, His Majesty can joke with all his comrades without any airs, which means that in His Majesty's eyes, all the soldiers in each camp and unit are the same.

For this reason alone, it is worthwhile for his brothers to have sacrificed their lives on the battlefield for His Majesty.

"Shut up!"

Liu Mingzhi gently tugged on Fengxing's reins, bringing the horse to a stop in the middle of the four formations.

"Brothers, we've finished the jokes, let's get back to the serious stuff."

Brothers, it's been many years. Seeing that you are all doing well makes me truly happy.

Honestly, I'm genuinely happy.

You are all well, and I am well too.

This is wonderful, truly wonderful! (End of Chapter)
