After the batch of pearls went to sea in mid-June, it would be a life-and-death struggle to go back to the sea to pick pearls, so very few people went there again.

The seas in July and August are very rough, so pearl divers will go to sea to fish and make a living in the offshore areas.

When Su Yunnuan arrived at Stone City, she went to the beach with Qi Xuan. The two of them were watching the scenery and people at the beach. They saw some boats hanging black flags, and there were cries on the shore.

"Although pearls are good, they are human lives." Su Yunnuan and Qi Xuan walked a long way along the seaside and stopped at a submersible beach: "If pearls are cultured here, although the quality is not as good as deep-sea pearls, the quality will be better than that of deep-sea pearls. It can meet all the pearl powder needs in medical and cosmetic applications.”

Qi Xuan raised his eyebrows: "A Nuan wants to raise clams here?"

"Fresh water can also be cultivated, and the lakes in Daqian inland can also be used. This requires some time and planning." Su Yunnuan pointed to the beach in the distance: "Look, we can open up wasteland for farming over there."

Along the way, Su Yunnuan also chose a place to build a dock.

The two of them lived in Stone City for more than ten days without buying anything. After looking around, they left Stone City and went to Wanghai Tower opened by Pan Yubao here.

The name sounds grand, but Wanghai Tower really doesn’t have a building. It is a collection of stone houses dotted here and there. The cooks prepare the meals, and the waiters have to carry the burden to deliver the food to each stone house. Guests can enjoy the sea view and eat seafood. .

Because the seafood at Wanghailou is very delicious and the price is not high, ordinary people will come here to try it.

Pan Yubao was very good at business. He collected the seafood from the fishermen, cooked it in a big pot and sold it to nearby fishermen and people at a slightly higher price, so that these poor families who depended on seafood could afford it.

"Sister." Pan Yubao's whole body turned into black coal. The climate here is hot and he runs outside every day. It is too difficult not to be black.

Su Yunnuan patted Pan Yubao on the shoulder: "Well done, business is booming."

"That's right, this is a business without capital." Pan Yubao invited Su Yunnuan to his small yard: "You can farm in the mountains here, but the people here don't know how to do it. I also bought a hilltop. There are peppers grown over there.”#@$&

Su Yunnuan raised her eyebrows: "Is there fresh water on the mountain?"

"There are mountain springs. There are many mountain springs on the mountains here. I am just waiting for my sister to come over. There are not only fishermen and pearl divers here." Pan Yubao was very excited. He was dancing when he talked about the large low mountains to the northeast of Stone City. .

Su Yunnuan and Qi Xuan looked at each other. This is great news, because food is the most important thing for the people. If you want to make the people here live better and better, it is unrealistic to rely solely on outside food delivery. Besides, Su Yun Nuan has long thought about growing rice here. The climate is suitable, and if we find suitable land for growing rice, it will be perfect.

"Sister, I'm here to give you some advice." Pan Yubao scratched his hair: "I'm getting tired of the recipes I brought over after using them over and over again."

Su Yunnuan smiled and said: "How about opening a workshop?"%&(&

"What kind of workshop?" Pan Yubao immediately became energetic. He really felt that Taixi was his blessed place, but he just didn't know where to start. Now he was making money by doing Wanghai Tower, but who is afraid of more money?

Su Yunnuan asked Pan Yubao to lead the way to the big kitchen, where he picked out all the oysters and cleaned them, and started cooking them in the big pot to consume oil.

Pan Yubao carefully recorded every step, and Su Yunnuan explained while doing it. After the oil was made, Su Yunnuan fried a green vegetable for comparison, allowing Pan Yubao to feel the difference between adding oil and not adding oil.

"Sister! This can last longer and be sent to the capital, and the food on the first floor is even more amazing!" Pan Yubao shook his head: "This is very cheap, and many fishermen are unwilling to bring it. I can negotiate the price very low. As much as you want, open a workshop."

Su Yunnuan nodded with a smile: "You can also sell them in grocery stores. These things are worthless at the beach, but people in the inland can't eat them at all. You can also transport the seafood to the capital, and do it can."

"Sister, if I ask you to do business, you must be the goddess of wealth!" Pan Yubao said seriously: "I feel like I can flex my muscles when I come here, but I don't know where to start."

Su Yunnuan brought a pot of shrimps and peeled them off: "These shrimps can be dried in the sun. Some dried fish, shrimps and kelp can be dried into dried goods. They are durable in storage and easy to transport. They can be sent to various places inland from Taixi." , will be sought after, so these businesses can be started one after another, and using Taixi people in large quantities is a matter of mutual benefit."

Pan Yubao nodded: "Yes, I will go to the second sister tomorrow to ask for money, and then we will start working on the beach."

"Stay closer to the salt field. The Bai family in Stone City will temporarily avoid their influence. When they find that these transactions are unstoppable, they will be finished if they want to buy pearls. Pearls are not a long-term solution." Su Yunnuan said.

Pan Yubao asked suspiciously: "Sister, you don't want to provoke the Bai family either?"

"Well, no provocation, we are here to benefit the people, and we don't want to compete with them for the pearl business. Besides, we need to spend some time getting to know the Bai family." From the moment Su Yunnuan decided to come to Taixi, she didn't take the Bai family seriously. In my eyes, my family is just a local squire.

Furthermore, Taixi needs a government office. This is not just a matter for the Shipping Department. Shipbuilding and navy are both major matters. What does the Xiaobai family mean?

Qi Xuan was responsible for implementing the things Su Yun Nuan wanted to do, such as the businesses that Pan Yu Bao wanted to open. Qi Xuan led the soldiers to build houses and built the workshops, and then selected people to help Pan Yu Bao. He accompanied Su Yun Nuan into the mountains.

Taixi is very big. In addition to the Stone City near the sea, there are mountains more than 20 miles to the northeast. These mountains stretch for hundreds of miles. There are few stone mountains but many earth mountains. This makes Su Yunnuan feel like the sky is endless. The feeling of the human path.

Because of the warm climate, fruit trees can be seen everywhere on the mountain. But looking at the size of the fruits, the waste of natural resources, and the taste of unimproved wild fruit trees, Su Yunnuan felt that she might need to improve these wild fruit trees here.

There are no villages in the mountains, only one family in the distance. These people put their houses on a gentle slope halfway up the mountain, and reclaimed small fields along the mountain. They planted some vegetables and sweet potatoes, which looked neatly planted. Su Yunnuan regretted that she had arrived too late. Otherwise, if she had planted corn, she would have at least harvested more food.

This piece of mountain was bought by Pan Yubao, and the two families living here became Pan Yubao's long-term workers, responsible for taking care of the pepper fields here.

Qi Xuan and Su Yunnuan lived in the small courtyard. Originally, the two people living here were their grandfather and grandson. Qian and his grandson Haisheng depended on each other.

How did they know that these were the emperor and queen of Daqian? They only knew that they were the boss's sister and brother-in-law.

Every day, Su Yunnuan and Qi Xuan went out into the mountains early in the morning and returned late in the evening. They were very busy checking the terrain, water sources and varieties of fruit trees.

At night, the two of them would draw drawings under the lamp and plan how to use these places.

Half a month passed. Su Yunnuan and Qi Xuan were preparing to enter the mountain when they saw a sedan stopped at the door. The person who got off the sedan was about sixty years old and dressed in silk.

The visitor knelt down on the ground and raised his voice: "Caomin Tianze pays homage to the emperor and pays homage to the queen."
