There was no need to run back by water. Ma Yue released the spirit boat, which flew away quickly and saved energy.
The world is so big, there's no need to explore any further. Finding this potent fruit wine is a huge reward, and Ma Yue is already extremely satisfied.
The focus now is still Longlin City. Even though Luo Bai is there, Ma Yue is still worried.
"God damn it, it tastes sweet." Luo Bai was very happy after drinking the fruit wine brought back by Ma Yue.
Damn it! This is good wine, you know it's sweet. Also, in this world, there's no sugar. It's human nature to like sweet things.
"This stuff is somewhat spiritual, and drinking it is good for the body. So, it's still the old rule, leaders at the bureau level and above, one jar per month." There are no bottles these days, basically just pottery jars. Ma Yuebi measured a pottery jar, which was neither big nor small. Drinking a cup every day should be no problem.
"It's exchanged for peanuts. You should prepare more Huasheng."
"Okay! I'll go right away." Longlin City also grows a lot of peanuts. It would be great to exchange them for sweets. Luo Bai was of course excited.
In the evening, the cook prepared a large table of seafood and Ma Yue enjoyed it very much while drinking fruit wine. It was probably the first time for him to drink so much wine. It was also the first time for Ma Yue to get drunk in this world.
Exchange? What the hell? The monkey's spiritual wine pit is huge and limited. This is a matter of principle. Absolutely no exchange. Nothing will work.
Since the charlatan has given this supreme instruction, the leaders of the Sea Tribe don’t care. They just drink what they have.
With salt and sweetness, the leader of the Sea Tribe was happy. The charlatan said this thing wasn't just sweet and delicious, it also had spiritual properties and was good for the body. The main leader of the Sea Tribe had a very good nutritional diet.
Of course, you can't enjoy these benefits unless you reach a certain level. Is the Sea Tribe's policy also meant to encourage advancement among lower-level leaders? Classes exist everywhere; complete equality is impossible. Inequality may be the greatest driving force behind social progress.
"Go ahead, don't just run around like crazy, bring back some fruit wine." Ma Yue stuffed Lingma and Wangcai's space bags with dried bacon and peanuts.
Lingma and Wangcai's excited charge into the sea vanished. As for demon beasts, they needed to run wild outside. Staying cooped up all the time would only lead to degeneration. Dragon Scale City wasn't in any danger at the moment, so Lingma couldn't stay there any longer. With Wangcai by their side, this demon beast duo possessed both offensive and defensive prowess, and they were also incredibly fast, ensuring exceptional safety.
The melee between the four major tribes on Lingguo Island ultimately ended in nothing. They were all very powerful, so it was not easy to truly destroy one of them. If they fought hard, the losses to their own tribe would be too great, and there was a limit to the losses they could endure.
If they can't take Lingguo Island, what will happen to the copper sources of the Tengu and Guilin King tribes? It's freezing cold over there in Ghost Mountain, making mining impossible.
The messenger from the Tengu tribe is here again.
Ma Yue had no objection to exchanging copper plowshares for salt, as long as the ratio was right. The Hai Tribe had too many people. As usual, salt was never enough.
The Tengu Tribe already had a reserve of copper plowshares, and they exchanged them with the Sea Tribe to cover the copper plowshares consumed in daily farming. The Sea Tribe had a large copper mine, and was highly skilled in copperware processing, producing large quantities.
The Hai Tribe possessed a vast reserve of copper plowshares, and had already entered the mass production phase for tools like larger copper axes. Producing an extra batch of copper plowshares was a simple matter, and they could exchange them for salt. Each side got what they needed, and such a deal was a win-win for all.
Ma Yue only disliked the Ghost Forest King tribe. No matter what he offered, he would not accept it. He almost completely cut off all transactions with the Ghost Forest King tribe. Aren't you cunning? If I ignore you, what can you do?
Ma Yue has no intention of raising a tiger to harm others with such ambitious guys as the Guilin King Tribe.
If you have the ability, you can go and exchange it with the Tengu Tribe. Anyway, the Hai Tribe will not pay any attention to the Guilinwang Tribe now.
The number of copper plowshares that the Sea Tribe traded to the Tengu Tribe was also limited. Without the copper mine, the Tengu Tribe also had to stockpile as much as possible. It was good enough that they could take care of it themselves. Did they really think the relationship between the Tengu Tribe and the Ghost Forest King was that good?
Ma Yue has his own character flaws. He is not willing to unite with other tribes. In fact, he is always attacked by other tribes.
Whatever, if you want to join forces to attack the Sea Tribe, then go ahead. The Alliance is something we have to worry about, as it can easily get stabbed in the back.
The four major tribes fought two battles in Taki City and Lingguo Island respectively. Ma Yue estimated that the four major tribes had no intention of plotting against the Hai tribe recently. They still needed to lick their wounds and recover, right?
Ma Yue sometimes reflects on himself, wondering if there is something wrong with his development ideas.
Is it really necessary to develop on this East China Sea Island?
The biggest hidden danger of the Sea Tribe is the lack of navy strength and the limited number of ships. So, on one side is the Sun City area across the sea, and on the other side is the East Sea Island area, and the hub of communication is the navy.
If the enemy really wants to deal with the Sea Tribe, dividing and conquering them is the best way. This way, the Sea Tribe's strength cannot be fully concentrated, which is a big disadvantage.
But then again, if they all evacuated Donghai Island and retreated to the Sun City area, what would they do if the climate there changed drastically? They wouldn't even have room to migrate.
The climate change in the warm zone has given the Sea Tribe a huge warning, and they cannot do without a suitable retreat.
It's across the sea, so it's still a hidden danger.
Ma Yue decided to mobilize the masses and sent information to the generals and leaders of Longlin City, including the leaders of the Sun City area, to gather their wisdom. After all, a person's thinking is limited.
The Sea Tribe currently possesses both salt and copper mines, making it a truly lucrative business. As long as we find the right opportunity, destroy the few ships that the Sea Tribe's navy possesses, and use a few different forces to destroy a portion of the Sea Tribe, what's impossible?
If the troops were to withdraw from Dragon Scale City, the Sun City area would be filled with an army of over 40,000 from the Sea Tribe (of which over 20,000 cavalry would be necessary). Even if the four major tribes joined forces, they would be wary of such a large force.
Of course, such discussions were limited to officials at the bureau level and above. At that level, Hai Tribe officials possessed some foresight and insight. "Whether it's feasible or not, you guys decide. I'll listen, and after I gather my opinions, I'll submit them to the charlatan."
The treatment of cadres at the bureau level and above in the Hai tribe is very good, especially the nutritious meals. You have made contributions to the Hai tribe, so you deserve the good treatment.
Ma Yue didn't rush them. Considering this kind of thing took time, so he should think it through first. In the short term, the four major tribes were licking their wounds and generally wouldn't attack the Sea Tribe.
The Sun City region had won a victory, and the combined forces of the two major tribes were defeated by the Sea Tribe's army in the Sun City region. However, the feedback from the Sun City and Xi'an branches was not optimistic.
After all, the four major tribes all have a deep foundation. Once they have enough troops and cavalry, it is indeed true that the Sun City area will find it difficult to compete alone.
At present, the arable land potential of Xi'an Branch is still huge. In principle, it is most realistic to focus on Xi'an Branch and Sun City area.
