Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

Such fresh seafood can only be found in places close to the sea in Central Continent. You can’t get fresh seafood at all inland. Everything here is loaded up early in the morning and delivered from Black Reef Beach to Pearl Harbor.

Xiao Yunyan and her group purchased such food in large quantities. As a result, the locals did not buy any cooked shellfish that morning.

Xiao Yunyan's space warehouse can ensure that the food is always fresh. She ordered large quantities of small seafood from local vendors. In addition to shellfish, there are also pedal fish and eels. The shellfish is partly cooked and partly fresh out of the water. After being sent to the big ship, she went directly into the space.

The food in the space warehouse remains in the same state as when it first entered the space. Therefore, even if they leave here, they can enjoy the unique specialties of the South Black Reef Country.

Xiao Yunyan stayed in the South Black Reef Country for three days this time, mainly to purchase a large amount of specialties here.

Their ten boats of food were sold out in less than half a day. The king of Nanheijiao Kingdom invited Li Mohan and Xiao Yunyan to visit the palace.

The king made a request and expected Prince Duanjing and Princess Duanjing to provide high-quality rice and white flour to the South Black Reef Country. Because it is difficult to have the opportunity to buy such good quality food here.

Other grain merchants rarely traffic grain to the South Black Reef Country. Therefore, local food is very tight.

Xiao Yunyan learned about the situation in detail. Because the voyage here is long, if the price is the same, we usually go to Qiming Port and Xingsheng Port first, and rarely go south.

After passing the South Black Reef Country, there is a vast ocean in the distance. There are no islands or continents even if you drive very far.

The specialties of Nanheijiao are only shellfish and conch, but no big fish. There were some delicious pedal fish and eels.

However, these seafood can hardly be kept fresh after being transported over long distances to the Central Continent. Eels and pedal fish only taste particularly delicious when cooked fresh. The taste of dried fish will not be good.

Only some shellfish and dried seafood can be purchased. Although the fishermen have some pearls in their hands, if the purchase price is low, the fishermen will not sell them, and if the price is high, it will not be cost-effective for the merchants who receive the goods.

Ocean cargo ships rely on a large amount of manpower throughout the journey. In addition to the cost of pearl acquisition, plus the cost of long-distance voyages, the time spent on the island to acquire pearls bit by bit, and the cost of food and accommodation, it is not cost-effective. So businessmen rarely come here.

Xiao Yunyan asked what the local people eat as their staple food. The king's answer was that ordinary people had no real staple food to eat and relied on a local grass root as their staple food.

Xiao Yunyan asked someone to pick up this grass root. She didn't recognize it when she got it back, but there was a small amount of starch in this grass root, mainly crude fiber. That is to say, ordinary people only use a small amount of starch as a source of carbohydrates.

Other food is various small fish and miscellaneous shells dug from the rocks of the black reef.

Only rich people can afford big boats. Go out to sea from Pearl Harbor and go fishing in the open sea.

Moderately wealthy families will have some small boats for fishing offshore. Their food is mainly fish, as well as various other deep-sea seafood. They occasionally go to Zhongning Country to buy some grain and vegetables. Relatively speaking, the rich have much more abundant food.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan discussed that since no one is occupying this market, no matter what grade of grain we sell, it will not affect the sales of others. It's better that we provide food supplies to the South Black Reef Country. After the couple reached an agreement, Xiao Yunyan went to negotiate with the king about providing food.

Xiao Yunyan said to the king of Nanheijiao Kingdom: "Dear King, my fief produces a lot of food. There are all kinds of grains. Since you want to buy grain from our Beichuan, then I will provide it to Nanheijiao Kingdom. Three grades of food: high, middle and low. To satisfy people at different consumption levels.

High-quality food will not be cheap. I will keep the price of the lowest-end grain, that is, the grain sold to ordinary people, very low. Of course, if rich people want to eat this kind of food, they can. "

When the king of Nanheijiao Kingdom heard Xiao Yunyan say that he was willing to supply food to ordinary people at low prices, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes. I wish I could kneel down to Xiao Yunyan immediately. But due to his status, he could only express his gratitude to Xiao Yunyan.

If Princess Duanjing can really do what she said. Then the people of Nanheijiao Country will be saved.

Because the people have not had enough staple food for a long time, the people of the South Black Reef Country do not live long. The food here is too monotonous. What's worse than Zhongning is that they don't produce coriander or vegetables here. You can only eat algae from the sea and wild vegetables from the land. There are very few types of wild vegetables, and even fewer can be eaten. Therefore, due to the single type of food, the average life span of people in the South Black Reef country is only about forty years.

Xiao Yunyan promised the king not only to provide them with food. Vegetable seeds and soil for growing vegetables are also available.

Xiao Yunyan plans to follow the example of future generations and use the method of adding nutritious soil inside a foam box when growing vegetables on the balcony. Just replace the foam box with a wooden one. Nutrient soil can be prepared at any time.

There is too much mountain and forest land in the vast fiefdom. Just get some soil, mix it with fermented fertilizer, put it in a wooden box and you can start growing vegetables.

Send a few boxes of soil to each household and give them some seeds, so they can eat some fresh vegetables every year.

The temperature in Nanheijiao Country is very high and it has a tropical maritime monsoon climate with high temperature, small temperature difference and abundant rainfall. As long as the soil is good, use high-temperature varieties of vegetables that can mature for more than a year. As long as you are diligent, every family will have vegetables to eat all year round.

Fishermen in the Southern Black Reef Country. Not lazy, just too thin soil here. Although the land area is large, there are rocks underneath and only a thin layer of soil on top. Planted vegetables are not growing well.

When people on the island buy seeds, they have to pay high prices from vendors because they are all imported from outside. The main thing is that the soil is poor and planting is not easy. The few vegetables that finally grew are not enough to eat. Where are the extra vegetables waiting to mature and be used as seeds?

Therefore, the input of seeds and manpower is large and the output is low. Therefore, gradually no one in the South Black Reef Country is farming, and there are no vegetables and grains.

Xiao Yuntian felt pity for the people on the island, especially the skinny old people and short children.

Xiao Yunyan asked the king to organize people to prepare food and vegetables. The big ship has brought a lot of vegetables. We can first distribute two cabbages to each family of the people on the island. The food kept on the ship for their own consumption was also distributed to the people on the island. Each household could get almost two kilograms of polished rice.

Xiao Yunyan stipulated that these free rice and vegetables can only be eaten by one's own family and cannot be bought or sold. Otherwise, if we distribute rice, noodles and vegetables next time, we will not be eligible to receive this benefit.

The king couldn't believe his ears. Princess Duanjing is so generous!

Although the South Black Reef Country has a small population, there are more than 15,000 households in total. Each household has about seven to eight to a dozen people. For five thousand households, two kilograms of rice per household is equivalent to thirty thousand kilograms of polished rice. He gave it away as soon as he said it would be given away. Such wealth made the king extremely envious. Of course, more gratitude.

Xiao Yunyan kept her promise and immediately asked the crew to carry the food down.

Xiao Yunyan didn't believe that it would be handed over to the government, and the government would distribute it to every household.

So the crews were assisted by local officials. He went to several places in the South Black Reef Country to distribute food to the people.

Xiao Yunyan originally only wanted to distribute two kilograms of rice to each household, which could be used temporarily to cook two meals of thin porridge, and she would distribute more grain when she came next time.

However, when she saw the sallow and skinny people looking at her eagerly, Xiao Yunyan's heart softened even more.

She asked her men to continue carrying food down. Of course, all this food had been moved from space to the cabin a long time ago, and each household was given ten kilograms of food. Because there were only 15,000 households in total, it only took three days to distribute them.

Xiao Yunyan asked her men to remind the residents of the South Black Reef Country again that this was reserved for them to cook porridge and was not allowed to be sold outside. If it is found that someone has sold the grain, their family will not have a share in the next grain distribution.

Although these people did not understand the language, under the translation of local officials, they understood that Princess Duanjing from Beichuan not only gave each of their households ten kilograms of rice for free this time, but might also continue to mill rice for free in the future. Moreover, each household was given two cabbages and taught how to eat them.

These common people had nothing to repay Xiao Yunyan. He could only kneel down and kowtow to Xiao Yunyan. Xiao Yunyan asked everyone to stand down and stop kneeling to her.

At the same time, Xiao Yunyan asked her men to convey the news that a new ship would soon arrive to deliver low-priced food to them. Of course, the quality will not be as good as the grain distributed today. Just regular white rice and white noodles, and even cheaper multigrain noodles and brown rice.

However, they do not need to exchange money. They only need to exchange the seashells, eels and small pedal fish picked that day. In the future, affordable food stores will be set up all over the South Black Reef Country, but they need to buy it with money or use Dried seafood has been exchanged, but the price will be very cheap.

This is great news. It made everyone's eyes filled with tears of joy again. Someone asked Xiao Yunyan to buy their collection of pearls.

The South Black Reef Country is also rich in pearls, but pearl hunting is more difficult.

The fishermen on the island harvest some very good quality pearls every year and they are reluctant to sell them. Because the local purchase price is too low. Some are reserved as dowries for daughters. There are also fishermen who keep the best pearls in their hands for emergencies. After all, the most valuable thing on this island is the pearl.

Now, Xiao Yunyan, a great benevolent person, is here. They hope that Xiao Xiaoyunyan can buy their pearls at a slightly higher price. Use this money to buy food in the future.

Xiao Yunyan did not disappoint them. In the end, the purchase price of each grade was 30% higher than the local purchase price.

Even so, Xiao Yunyan also made money. Local purchase prices are too low. The price she gave made the local fishermen happy. They all took out the fine pearls from the bottom of the box.

This can be considered an unexpected gain. After all, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy the best pearls. It's all natural here. Unlike later generations, almost all pearls are artificially cultivated. Whether it's shape, color or size, it's all controllable.

Xiao Yunyan told these fishermen. Even if the pearls are not good-looking, they can be kept and sold to her, or they can be directly exchanged for food.

The fishermen promised to keep all the pearls they found for her. As long as the princess can regularly send them low-priced food. They were extremely grateful to the princess.

Wealthy people with great wealth cannot understand the pain of having a poor diet. No matter how delicious the food is, if there are just a few of them every day without staple food, health problems will occur over time, and if you eat too much, you won’t like to eat it. It’s always better to change the taste.

After the food was distributed, the big ship left the Pearl Harbor loaded with fresh seafood and their hopes from the fishermen. Set sail to another distant continent.

The next ten days will be spent at sea.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan often teleported back to take a look. When they came back, the ship was already far away from the fixed point. However, since they can fly with swords, they can easily catch up with the fleet.

The couple has arranged for their subordinates to form a road and bridge construction team of 30 people. They are required to be all skilled craftsmen and make arrangements for personnel in advance. Xiao Yunyan will take them to their destination on the specified date.

In addition, the officials in charge of warehousing in the fiefdom were asked to re-count the grain stored in the warehouse and allocate the earliest batch of grain that had been stored for three months. Xiao Yunyan collected the grain into the space. It is planned to load these grains at the ports of Zhongzhou Continent in a few days and send them to various ports in the Southern Black Reef Country.

Finally, the seafood brought back from Nantingzhou was given to the Imperial Palace, Xiao Family and Ziwei Yunxiao Palace each for a portion so that everyone could have a taste.

The recovered dried seafood was sent to his own restaurant and the North and South Commercial Bank for sale. In addition to giving some pearls and corals to the queen and mother, they were all sent to jewelry shops for sale.
