Fortunately, people in Daxia still have this kind of experience in making food.
On the one hand, for fishermen on the seaside, they usually use sea salt to marinate these fish.
But as for rations, they were unable to operate.
But because Daxia experienced an era of material scarcity and frequent wars before.
At that time, in fact, for all the people, their only mission in life was to survive, which was to find something to eat and save it together.
In their wisdom, they have gradually developed many foods that can be preserved for a very long time.
And the other side.
When Zhang Bao and his men marched north and west, they also came into contact with some local food.
Especially for the northern grasslands, when their barbarian people graze, they often need to leave their camps for ten days and a half months, or even several months.
Then they all need to prepare food in advance.
And for merchants who often go in and out of the grassland, they also need to stock up on food along the way.
So these things can be directly applied to ships.
It can greatly alleviate the problems encountered by ships during travel.
But the preparation of this kind of food also requires a lot of manpower and cost.
And more importantly, for those who are currently training on the sea, in addition to daily practice, acclimatization to the environment on the ship, and archery practice on their ship.
They also need to practice swimming.
Because for most northerners, they don't understand water.
Although this water quality is actually not very effective when it is in the ocean.
But under the current situation, the bumping of the ship can easily cause the crew to fall into the water.
Especially during the battle, this situation will happen more often.
And once you fall into the water, if you have no water properties, then the only way to end is death.
But if it can have some water properties, there is still some hope that it will not die directly in the process.
Therefore, there are now people practicing swimming everywhere near the coastline of the entire southern sea.
For those of them who practice swimming, the daily amount of exercise is quite huge. It can be said that whether it is in the south or the west, the food and grass consumed for daily training here is constantly increasing.
This is also the current cost of Daxia.
After Zhang Bao ascended the throne, he had already granted amnesty to the whole world.
Tax reductions and exemptions have been implemented in various places across the country.
And it means that in fact, for a long time, Daxia will not have any tax revenue.
But fortunately, before Zhang Bao, they got some supplements from Japan and other vassal states.
With this gold, silver, and food, it is enough for Daxia to survive this period of time.
On the other hand.
For these civil servants in the court, they have also gone through a lot of hardships and arrived at the place where they need to adapt. For these civil servants, they may have never had this experience.
They need to travel long distances and pass through environments they have never experienced before.
It can be said.
For civil servants like them, this journey is a narrow escape.
When they came to these vassal states in the west, they began to slowly adapt to the local environment, learn the local language, and sort out the local terrain. These were all their tasks.
For their situation, it is actually a long and endless process.
They are not like the process of those generals learning to swim. Maybe they are here. If I learn it, I have learned it, and if I can't learn it, I can't learn it.
But for the study of a culture, it may be difficult to have a clear boundary to identify.
And for them, they not only need to learn the local culture and language, they also need to establish a local organization that can represent their country.
An official organization that can represent them in Daxia in the local area.
With this kind of organization, they can use their identity as Daxia to do some things openly.
And when these vassal states learned that Daxia sent these civil servants to their countries to establish such official institutions of Daxia.
They don't have much rejection.
Because you must know that many of them from the vassal state came to Daxia through Zhang Bao's enthronement ceremony. After seeing the prosperity and trade of Daxia, they were very excited.
In fact, they also hope to establish trade relations with Daxia as soon as possible.
And if they allow all the official institutions of Daxia to be stationed in their vassal country, they will naturally be able to take the first step in trade.
It's just that here in the west, it's not as stable as in Daxia.
There are still wars between the various vassal states in the west.
This kind of war actually makes the official institutions that exist in Daxia a very embarrassing existence.
A lot of the time.
Perhaps as an official organization, several of their civil servants had a hard time adapting to the local environment, learning the local language, and reaching a consensus with the people of the local vassal state.
This vassal state was destroyed by other vassal states, and after being destroyed, their vassal state naturally merged into the other vassal state.
Correspondingly, the official organizations from Daxia will also be merged accordingly.
But after the merger.
They will continue to expand westward.
but.
Their expansion process is naturally much slower than the expansion process of those generals.
But their costs are correspondingly much less.
Moreover, in this process, the losses suffered by these young civil servants were relatively large.
Especially if they are not adapted to this environment, they will die unconventionally.
Especially for some civil servants.
In the process of their studies and advancement, they actually stay in one place, and their physiques are relatively weak. Once the environment changes and there is a lot of pressure on their hearts, there will be many of them because they are not accustomed to the climate. Infected with various diseases.
And directly died in a foreign country.
In this process, this number is very, very large.
