After receiving the letter, Chu Yuxiao was overjoyed, and he imdiately replied to Gao Anbang, instructing soone to deliver it swiftly.
At the end of spring that year, Eastern Chu Country fell, and Chu Yuxiao dispatched Gao Anbang to station in Eastern Chu Country and established Fengying City.
He also sent Gao Sheji to garrison two cities in Moyan Country.
The war launched by the Great Nan Dynasty ca suddenly, putting Xiliang Country, Cangyue Country, and Fengling Country on high alert.
However, in the following half-year, the Great Nan Dynasty did not initiate another war.
On the surface, everything seed peaceful, but beneath the surface, there were turbulent undercurrents...
That year, the Great Nan Dynasty had an abundant sumr harvest.
The weather was hot, and it hadn’t rained for several months, causing many countries to suffer from droughts.
Only the Great Nan Dynasty had set up water conservancy projects in various cities and counties in advance, preventing any drought from occurring.
Furthermore, most of the crops planted were drought-resistant potatoes and sweet potatoes, so the harvest suffered little damage.
The entire nation had ample food supplies, and the granaries in each city were filled to the brim, imrsing all the people in joy.
The Great Nan Dynasty once again restored its forr prosperous and thriving appearance.
With prosperity, there ca more silver.
Chu Yuxiao implented a ’high salary’ policy, providing a subsidy of ten taels of silver to anyone who joined the military, as well as exempting their families from taxes for a year.
As a result, young and strong n from all over the country enthusiastically signed up to join the army.
The Great Nan Dynasty had just attacked Moyan Country and Eastern Chu Country, and might attack other countries, hence those enlisting held hopes for future achievents and establishing reputations.
In just one month, 40,000 strong n were recruited, and after two months, a total of 100,000 were enlisted.
These 100,000 new troops were divided into two groups, with one stationed in Linglan City and the other in Heijia City.
Chu Yuxiao had a unique vision; since his ascension, he had secretly sent people to observe many capable individuals.
This ti, all those he had been watching were put to use.
With command over nearly all military power of the Great Nan Dynasty, he acted swiftly and decisively, and the ministers who once dared to oppose him no longer voiced any objections to his decisions.
Using this to his advantage, Chu Yuxiao broke conventions to promote and heavily utilize many talents who had been overlooked, assigning them to manage and train the two groups of new troops.
