Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Chapter 209 Coming to the Beach

Zhao Lanxue was the second woman she admired besides Mei Ran, and she didn't want to hurt her.

Now that Nan Rongzhi has the help of Prince Zhennan and Zhao Lanxue, everything is going smoothly.

The skin care products and glass agents were also quickly settled.

No one can resist money. Although they despise doing business in their hearts, they can't help but be tempted when they see that the profit is so high.

The agents in every city sold it at a high price of one hundred thousand.

At the same time, Meng Xiyue made a lot of new glass containers, and the decorations are still hot-selling.

With this money, Meng Xiyue opened several shelters in Zhou County near the capital. With the increase in shops, he hired a lot of people to work. Now there are almost no beggars in the capital.

The situation of refugees in the capital was basically stabilized, so Nan Rongzhi brought Meng Xiyue to the village by the sea.

At least one-third of the people in Nanrong Kingdom live by the sea. They have no farmland and can only make a living by fishing.

Going out to sea to fish is full of dangers. Even though they are experienced fishermen, many people die at sea every year.

This was Meng Xiyue’s first time to come to the beach. In her previous life, she was under the care of her mother and had never left the city.

She had always wanted to go to the beach, and she didn't expect to realize it here.

Looking at the blue sky and the boundless sea, she felt happy and her whole body seemed to be empty.

“The sea breeze is so comfortable.”

"It's early summer now, when the sea breeze is the coolest. If you come here in winter, I guarantee your face will be hurt by the breeze."

Nan Rongzi looked at her lovingly. In her eyes, Meng Xiyue was like a child.

"I'm going to come and try it this winter."

Even though the wind was biting cold, she wanted to see what the sea looked like in different seasons.

"Okay, I'll bring you over then."

The two of them were traveling incognito, with only a maid and a guard. They played at the beach for a long time, and Meng Xiyue even picked up a lot of conch shells before continuing on their way.

"There is a fishing village ahead." said Nan Rongzhi.

From a distance you can see fishing nets drying on the beach.

"In modern times, places near the sea are mainly based on tourism and are developing rapidly, but in ancient times, tourism was not popular."

It was difficult for people in ancient times to make a living, and there was no developed means of transportation. Most of them stayed at home all their lives and rarely even visited the nearby Zhou County, let alone travel around.

"It's true that they can't travel, but it's dangerous for them to go out to sea to salvage, and they can't make much money either."

Meng Xiyue pondered, "I remember that in modern times, the development of coastal cities, in addition to tourism, also includes seaside aquaculture."

"Breeding?" Nan Rongzhi used to only focus on the case at hand and knew very little about these developments.

"Yes, the most important thing is to grow kelp. Kelp is not only nutritious and easy to grow, but also can be sold far away after being dried."

Meng Xiyue carefully recalled the article she had read, "Kelp, shrimp, sea cucumber, abalone and so on can all be farmed."

"Then can you breed?"

Nan Rongzi's eyes lit up, and she knew that Meng Xiyue must have a way.

But Meng Xiyue shook her head and said, "I roughly remember how to raise it, but I haven't tried it specifically, so I don't know if it will work."

She had never been to the beach, nor had she seen it with her own eyes. Relying only on the theories in the book, her chances of success were slim.

"It's okay. When we get back, write down the method of kelp cultivation and I'll find some fishermen to experiment with it."

Those fishermen have rich experience, and with the added benefit of theory, it should be possible.

"Okay, but I can't do anything with the kelp, but these things can be turned into treasure."

Meng Xiyue pointed at the shell she had just picked up.

In ancient times, these small shells were basically unwanted except for children playing with them. Only those shells with perfect shapes and luster and large size were used as decorations.

These little shells are really a waste.

Nan Rongzi immediately understood what she meant. When it comes to making jewelry, Meng Xiyue is an expert.

"Yeah, I was just thinking about seafood and forgot that these shells can be very useful."

"When I return, I will make some simple wind chimes and decorations and let these women and children on the beach learn how to make them. I will collect the products they make and then sell them to other places."

Meng Xiyue was not afraid. After they learned it, they would sell it to other people.

She originally just wanted the fishermen to earn money and make the entire Nanrong country rich. If there were other people who wanted to do business with this, she would not stop them.

However, this is not possible for those big families.

As the two were talking, a fishing boat approached the shore and the surrounding fishermen gathered around.

"Let's go take a look too."

Meng Xiyue pulled her and hurriedly moved closer to the crowd. She also wanted to see how many fish had been caught.

As soon as I approached the crowd, I heard people shouting excitedly.

"Old Wang, you really have a great harvest this time."

"He is the best fisherman here. He always comes back with a full catch."

"This time, I can sell it for at least a hundred coins."

Old Wang laughed and said, "If this batch of fish sells well, I'll treat everyone to a drink."

"well."

When the fishermen heard that there was wine to be had, they immediately applauded.

Then he quickly helped to lift the fishing net to the shore.

Meng Xiyue took a closer look and saw that there were indeed quite a lot of fish, at least a hundred kilograms, and there were also some abalone and sea cucumbers.

Suddenly, Meng Xiyue's eyes lit up. Lobster, this is her favorite food.

I haven't eaten lobster since I came to ancient times, but today I have a treat again.

Just when Meng Xiyue was about to buy all the lobsters, she saw the fishermen who were packing up their fishing nets actually throwing the lobsters back into the sea.

"Wait a moment."

Meng Xiyue and Nan Rongzhi stopped them in unison.

The two looked at each other and saw pain in each other's eyes.

It was then that the fishermen realized that there were four outsiders. They had been so focused on the fish they had just caught that they hadn't noticed them.

Upon seeing this, the village chief quickly stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"

"We are from the capital and we run a restaurant." Meng Xiyue then lied.

These fishermen don't usually come into contact with many people and their minds are relatively simple, so when they heard her say that, they agreed.

Old Wang then started promoting his own fish.

"Boss, you guys are running a restaurant, so you definitely need fish. Although the capital is a little far away, it only takes two or three days to get there. They won't die if left in the water. If you want to buy fish, I'll sell them to you at a lower price."

"Look at these fish. They are plump and delicious. They are really good."

Meng Xiyue nodded, "These fish are really good, and these lobsters too."
