On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Lin Zhen smiled slightly and responded in a low voice: "My husband also trained with the navy for a period of time in his early years. If Yan'er is interested, you can come to the ship more often in the future."

Murong Yan nodded vigorously, like a little girl who got her favorite toy: "Yes! You must bring me here often in the future!"

As she spoke, her eyes were drawn to the cabin entrance again.

Under the guidance of the old admiral, Murong Yan and his party entered the huge cargo hold.

The cabin was huge, filled with wooden boxes and sacks covered with oilcloth and tied tightly. The air was filled with a special smell mixed with tung oil, gunpowder and grain.

"Your Majesty, this hold is loaded with 5,000 barrels of new gunpowder and 100,000 fine steel arrowheads."

"Here we have compressed 100,000 rations, enough to last the army for half a month."

"Here are five thousand sets of the latest Mingguang armor, which are light and strong."

"Your Majesty has also specifically instructed that the silk, porcelain, tea, and other gifts from Jiangnan be stored separately in the forward cabin."

Looking at the mountains of supplies, Murong Yan's face showed a satisfied and excited look.

These are the bloodlines that support her eastward expedition and consolidate the newly occupied territories.

She walked slowly through the cargo hold's aisle, her dark-golden tail dragging across the hold's bottom, which was covered in dust and debris, leaving a winding trail.

Sometimes she would stop and order someone to open a box for inspection. When she saw the yellow shells or the cold swords inside, a sharp light would flash in her eyes.

After completing the inspection and returning to the deck, Murong Yan faced the sea breeze and looked out at the busy city of Pyongyang on the coastline.

She took a deep breath, and a surge of pride surged in her chest.

She turned and faced the fleet commanders and some senior officers standing solemnly, her voice ringing out clearly and firmly:

"The soldiers have sailed across the sea, transporting supplies. Their hard work and achievements are immense! I am deeply gratified!" She first affirmed the fleet's achievements, then, her tone shifting to authority, "Pass on my order! Immediately, begin unloading the ships! All supplies, according to the military supply list, will be prioritized for replenishing the battalions' losses and distributing new weapons! Rewards will be registered and distributed by my trusted associates! No mistakes or deductions will be made! Anyone who disobeys this order will be executed!"

"We obey your order! Long live His Majesty!" The generals responded loudly, their voices shaking the side of the ship.

As soon as the order was given, the entire dock and fleet began to operate at high speed like a wound-up machine.

The pulleys creaked, the horns sounded one after another, and boxes and bags of supplies were continuously transported ashore through the gangway and crane.

Murong Yan looked at the bustling scene, her heart filled with the satisfaction of being in control of everything.

She turned her head and said to Lin Zhen, with a hint of relief and anticipation in her tone: "Husband, with these things, we will feel much more at ease. We can run the business well, and then..."

She didn't say anything else, but her phoenix eyes were already looking towards the distant east.

Lin Zhen held her hand and said softly, "Well, let's take it one step at a time. With Yan'er here and the mighty soldiers and ships of Daqian, there's no need to worry about not accomplishing great things."

Murong Yan smiled sweetly and held his hand tightly. The sea breeze blew, and her dress rustled.

Standing on this symbol of imperial power, she felt unprecedented peace and strength.

Just as she was about to give the order to return and turn towards the gangway—

The action was calm and decisive after the inspection was completed and the decision was made!

The five-meter dark-golden train and shawl that had gone through "hardships" on the deck, stained with oil and salt, and in a messy state were suddenly lifted up because of this turn!

Luxurious brocade and mink brushed across the cold steel deck, and with a swish, it drew a powerful trajectory in the air!

As the tail suddenly floated up, the densely woven gold lining inside was revealed. In the alternating darkness of the cabin and the bright light of the deck, it seemed to contain infinite power!

The pattern of Hundred Phoenixes Facing the Sun suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light like a salvo of naval guns. The light was full of industrial power, logistical support and the strong strength of the empire. It was noble, glorious, and carried a majestic momentum of being sure of victory and looking to the future!

This stunning glimpse is the best interpretation of Daqian’s national strength!

The hem of the skirt fell, covering the golden light that symbolized strength and confidence.

Accompanied by Lin Zhen, Murong Yan slowly walked down the gangway.

Behind him are busy giant ships, a steady supply of supplies, and the silhouette of an increasingly powerful empire.

......

The second year of Shenghui, the fourth day of the fifth month, afternoon.

The unloading work at Pyongyang's outer port has lasted for a day and a night and is still in full swing.

The huge "Zhenhai" was like a generous giant mother, continuously transporting the imperial blood in her belly to the newly annexed land of Liaodong through countless busy hands.

On the dock, the sounds of horns, wheels and waves interweave into a majestic symphony of labor.

Murong Yan did not stay at the headquarters for the entire time. After listening to the preliminary unloading report, she decided to visit the dock to inspect the progress and see the conscripted Goguryeo civilians.

Accompanied by Lin Zhen, she came to the bustling pier again.

In order to facilitate walking in a messy environment, her outfit today is relatively neat.

Over the black and gold Su brocade cotton nightgown with the pattern of "Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" - the Divine Phoenix Descent Skirt, she wore a knee-length, easy-to-move-in black and gold Su brocade short armor-style shawl. The edges of the shawl were trimmed with leather, adding a touch of sophistication.

The outermost layer is still the iconic black and gold mink shawl, which highlights the owner's respected status in the busy dock environment.

The dock was dusty and cluttered, completely different from the tidy deck when I boarded the ship yesterday.

The Phoenix Dress presents a unique fusion in this environment full of labor atmosphere.

The extremely dark black Su Jin base material seems to be able to absorb all the noise and dust, and the color becomes increasingly calm. The golden cotton wool and real gold thread woven into it dance in the sunlight, faintly echoing the luster of sweat beads rolling down the workers' bronze skin.

On the nightgown, the pattern of the giant phoenix holding up the sky, against the backdrop of the busy crowd, seems less lofty and far-reaching in the clouds, and more like overlooking the world and understanding the people's sentiments.

The wide flared sleeves were gathered into the cuffs of her armor, and the black jade ring on her left thumb still shone with a warm luster in the dusty air.

The five-meter-long Su Jin tail faced the biggest challenge here - muddy ground, scattered grass clippings, and even some water stains.

It cannot be kept tidy at all, and can only be dragged behind it in a messy manner without any scruples, stained with mud, dust, and even wetted by the occasional splash of water on the edges.

This thorough and undisguised messiness, created in a real working environment, actually adds a sense of authenticity and powerful control.

Only those with absolute authority would dare to ignore the pollution of the environment.

The softness of cotton and the concept of nightgown are given the profound meaning of being with the people at this moment.

Lin Zhen was still wearing a dark suit that was convenient for movement. He stood closely guarding her side, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes to ensure that there were no safety hazards.

From time to time, he reached out and gently held Murong Yan's arm to help her avoid the puddles on the ground or the scattered ropes.
