Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

On a mission to the ocean? !

Not to mention the Great Zhou Dynasty, no one has ever proposed such an idea even since the beginning of the dynasty in this land.

Because the boundless ocean represents death and darkness!

Even the fishermen on the beach can only go a hundred miles away from the coast before turning back.

Can I be sent as an envoy to the ocean? !

How far! ?

Is it Qianli? Still thousands of miles away! ?

"There was a rumor that the ocean has an end, and where it ends is the gate to hell."

“It swallows everything there, buries everything there, and there is nothingness there.”

Su Ming's voice was trembling, and there was a hint of bitterness and despair in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, have you really decided this way?"

Looking at Zhou Zheng's firm gaze, Su Ming's tone softened a little.

"Yes, I must explore the secrets of this world."

Standing with his hands behind his back, Zhou Zheng spoke in a deep voice.

After all, this land still has limited resources.

Although there is wheat and rice, it is still difficult to feed countless people.

In the past few years, Zhou Zheng has traveled to a lot of places, met a lot of people, and experienced a lot of things, but he discovered a very serious problem!

Whether it is Da Zhou, Da Yuan or Da Xia, they are all facing the problem of food shortage.

This is why, when Liu Fei was able to increase grain production, it caused such a big shock to the Great Zhou Society.

In the world Zhou Zheng once lived in, high-yielding crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes were imported from overseas.

So, is it the same in this world? !

Zhou Zheng didn't know, but he knew that he could never repeat the mistakes of the last feudal dynasty in his world.

He wants to take the initiative to explore the world.

"Not everything in the ocean is a crisis."

"There is also wealth."

"There is an inexhaustible supply of sea salt, and there are countless edible sea fish."

As he lowered his head, Zhou Zheng's words made Su Ming's eyes shine with a gleam of light.

"I don't want to explore the secrets of the entire ocean at once."

"This is a huge project and a gradual process."

Zhou Zheng's words made Su Ming, who had always chosen his throat, finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, no matter how much he trusted Zhou Zheng, it could not reduce his fear of Da Yang.

"But, I need you to do something now."

Zhou Zheng turned to look at Su Ming and spoke again.

Going on a mission to the ocean requires a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources, and the current Great Zhou Dynasty simply cannot support this vast undertaking.

But this does not mean that Zhou Zheng does nothing.

"Please give me your Majesty's orders. I will do my best!"

Su Ming stopped his spine and looked serious.

"I want you to go to the seaside in person and refine sea salt to meet the needs of the people of Great Zhou."

Zhou Zheng's first request made Su Ming's face tremble.

Haiyan's technology is relatively mature, but it is even more difficult to meet the needs of people across the country.

In the past, the five major aristocratic families almost monopolized the refining of sea salt, and the technology was considered mature. They spent a lot of energy but could not achieve this, let alone Su Ming alone now? ! ~

"I will give you a simpler and more efficient method of refining sea salt."

"If used properly, part of the salt can be supplied to the Yuan Dynasty."

Zhou Zheng was not surprised by Su Ming's reaction, but his words gave Su Ming some reassurance.

Over the years, Zhou Zheng's methods have emerged one after another. If he can really provide sufficient technical support, then things will definitely be possible.

"Secondly."

Zhou Zheng paused and continued to speak.

“Leverage the knowledge and power of local fishermen and start fishing.”

"And supply these sea fish, seafood, etc. to various places in Dazhou."

Zhou Zheng thought a little.

Today, Da Zhou's diet is still quite simple.

The emergence of seafood and other seafood can, on the one hand, enhance the richness of the diet, and on the other hand, you can also make some money from it. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.

"Your Majesty, sea fish is not delicious."

"The fishy smell is so strong that almost no one wants to eat it except the fishermen."

Su Ming coughed and explained quickly.

As the patriarch of a large family, Su Ming's knowledge is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

He has seen and even tasted many fresh products in the ocean.

Unfortunately, almost none of them could reach Su Ming's mouth.

Especially the fishy smell that hit his nostrils made Su Ming avoid it.

Let alone a wealthy family like Su Ming, even a beggar would find it difficult to enter, and even domestic animals would not be willing to use it too much.

The most important thing is that many seafood products seem to be highly toxic. Once eaten, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Your Majesty, I know that you are thinking about the people of the world, but this overseas product... is really not advisable."

Su Ming's words made Zhou Zheng freeze on the spot.

I thought the most difficult problem was the fishing issue, but I didn’t expect that what I heard was the food issue.

For a moment, Zhou Zheng was speechless.

You know, in his world, seafood is valuable.

Its meat is delicious and nutritious, and it is definitely top-quality.

I didn’t expect that here, it would become something even dogs wouldn’t eat.

"The taste of seafood is far beyond that of ordinary meat."

"It can be eaten raw, fried, boiled, or steamed."

"As for the method to remove the smell, it's not difficult."

Zhou Zheng smiled helplessly. Seafood naturally has a fishy smell. As long as the fishy smell can be removed, everything else is not a problem.

"Your Majesty, what can I do!?"

Su Ming quickly asked.

If seafood could really remove its fishy smell, maybe the situation would really be different.

"liquor!"

Zhou Zheng said the key with just one word.

Wine is simply a universal tool for removing fishy smells.

However, Su Ming obviously didn't believe it, but Zhou Zheng didn't bother to explain. Anyway, he would know after he gave it a try.

As for what's poisonous, that's a tricky thing indeed.

But Zhou Zheng is not worried. On the one hand, the fishermen can be screened, and secondly, it will not be difficult for Zhou Zheng to identify some common seafood that can be used.

"If I can really use these seafood as food, of course it will be my great fortune!"

Su Ming knew very well that there were huge quantities of these seafood in the endless ocean, and they did not require artificial breeding.

The value it contains is simply beyond imagination.

"However, what Your Majesty wants me to do is probably more than just this."

Su Ming is a smart man, and Zhou Zheng has great ambitions, not just for these reasons.

"That's right!"

"I still need you to find a suitable place to build a port!"

"On the surface, we are making sea salt and catching sea fish."

"In fact, it is to train an elite navy!"

Zhou Zheng's eyes flickered, and a sense of domineering came over him.

In Zhou Zheng's world, those who win the ocean win the world!

Since there is a land in the far west, Zhou Zheng has to suspect that there are also overseas countries!

Prepare for a rainy day, this matter must be taken in advance.
