Bai Wutong said to Cui Shize, “Don’t worry. We’ll cross the bridge when we get there.”

Cui Shize left worriedly, and Stinky rushed in happily. “Mother, the boat is coming back. Let’s go see the boat!”

“I even built a particularly beautiful house on the beach. I cut it myself with rocks!”

Stinky took Bai Wutong’s hand. Bai Wutong cleared the clutter in her mind and lightened her heart before going to the beach with Stinky.

Stinky couldn’t wait to show Bai Wutong the small house he had built.

Bai Wutong looked over and saw that Stinky had actually built a small house with beautiful stones.

Bai Wutong praised, “You’re really amazing. You can even make cement! I think we can build a watchtower here. If you stand on the watchtower, you’ll be able to see the returning fishing boats in advance.”

Stinky looked up. “I’ll burn bricks and build a watchtower tomorrow.”

He knew how to burn bricks. He had specially went to observe it for a long time.

Bai Wutong nodded with a smile. “Yes, I can get Uncle Lin Yue to help you. You have to be careful, understand?”

Bai Wutong had always encouraged the child to learn himself in a safe environment.

Stinky nodded happily, but Lin Yue felt a headache coming on. He had to perk up again and look after this little ancestor.

They surrounded Stinky’s small house and added some green plants to decorate the courtyard. Bai Wutong even suggested that apart from the exterior design of the house, they could also do the interior designs, place the sofa, renovate the walls, and restore the house to its original state.

Stinky’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He hurriedly asked Lin Yue for his small sketchbook and recorded all his inspiration in his own way.

Stinky quietly conceived an ideal house. Bai Wutong guided him from time to time. When he used his imagination, two fishing boats gradually appeared on the sea.

This time, they set off for the deep sea. They had set off since the early morning of the previous day and had only returned now. Who knew how many fishes they had caught?

They had nearly 200,000 people now. Their daily meat intake was all dependent on these two fishing boats.

The two fishing boats gradually docked.

Everyone asked excitedly, “How many fishes? How many fishes?”

The crew members were wet and their faces were filled with extremely happy smiles.

“There are so many fishes! There are especially many! And they’re all big fishes!”

“We also encountered a group of prawns. After casting more than a dozen nets, we caught all palm-sized big prawns!”

“And beautiful shuttle crabs! They are all fat and big!”

The people asked even more excitedly, “How many are there? Is it enough for everyone to eat! ”

Apart from children, everyone had their own work to do. Only after doing tjeor wprl could they have time to do other things.

There were more snakes, insects, rats, ants, and ferocious beasts in the mountains of the southern frontier than in their respective hometowns. No one dared to enter the mountains easily. Usually, if they wanted to eat more, they could only go to the seaside to catch some seafood or go to the wetlands to cage, pick up duck eggs, and hunt birds.

It was not easy for them to get some food, but they could not bear to eat it, so they specially sold it at the temporary market.

Seeing that Ah Duo, Ah Mi, and the others could always easily bring back prey, everyone was envious and jealous.

The fishing boat determined whether everyone could eat meat. Everyone was looking forward to it.

The captain stood up and said to everyone, ‘There’s enough, definitely enough! There’s still some left after eating!” Everyone immediately beamed with joy and prepared to unload the fish and cook.

The deck was lowered, and tons of seafood rolled down like a small mountain.

Everyone knew that they could catch a lot of fish this time, but they never expected there to be so many!

There were at least 300,000 catties!

After calculating, Cui Shize reported to Bai Wutong, his mouth trembling. “Consort! There’s 420,000 catties!’

Everyone could eat have a share if there was at least 100,000 catties. Now that there was an additional 320,000 catties, everyone was very excited. However, there was another problem. It was already summer. Seafood could not be kept for long. If the quality deteriorated slightly, it would cause food poisoning. In serious cases, one’s nerves would be paralyzed and one might even die.

There were actually many ways to preserve seafood for a long time. The simplest and most effective way was to dry the seafood in the sun.

There were also two types of doing that. They could dry it cooked or raw. The raw method meant that the seafood was not exposed to water and could often be preserved for a longer time.

Apart from drying seafood, there were also many ways to make seafood into seafood sauce, canned seafood, and seafood snacks to preserve seafood for a long time.

The seafood in the southern frontier had a rich variety. If it was developed, seafood would definitely become one of the highlights of the southern frontier.

Bai Wutong suddenly had an idea. She could also transport the excess seafood, including tons of kelp and seaweed, to the Central Plains to sell!

Their Carefree City would have additional income!

Bai Wutong had just starting smiling when she thought about how the road she planned to build would not be built in time, and she was discouraged.

If there was no road, the cost of transporting things to the Central Plains was too expensive.

When the price was higher, fewer people would buy it.

Moreover, there were other coastal areas in the Ling Kingdom. Even if the quality of the seafood they produced was very good, most people would not buy it if it did not have an advantageous price.

Bai Wutong thought for a moment and asked someone to call Sheng Huaixuan over.

When Sheng Huaixuan came over, Bai Wutong asked, “How’s the recruitment going?”

Bai Wutong gave the mining rights to the jade mine and petroleum found in the southern frontier to Yu Suisheng.

He went to the Central Plains and offered a high monthly salary. He spread the news that one would become rich overnight if one picked up jade and recruited laborers from all over the country to go to the southern frontier. Yu Suisheng was afraid that they would not believe him, so Bai Wutong specially gave him an official moving order after he had stamped it.

In everyone’s impression, not only were the living conditions in the southern frontier harsh, but there were also barbarians everywhere.

The price Yu Suisheng offered was not enough to tempt everyone.

There would definitely be brave people given the huge reward. When Bai Wutong learned that they could not recruit any labor, she told them that mining ores was a stable job in the Imperial Court.

Not only would one be paid monthly, but he would also be given a year-end bonus. He would be able to rest two days a week and work for no more than 16 hours a day. If he exceeded that limit, he would be given overtime allowance. He would retire at the age of 50 and could still continue to receive a high monthly salary if he did not work. If anything happened when he was working in the southern frontier, the Imperial Court would give him full responsibility and compensate his family.

Most importantly, if he signed up now, he could directly receive a three months pay in advance.

During the days of rest, he could even go to the hidden river to pick up jade stones. The Imperial Court would collect them and give them an additional daily salary.

Even some bailiffs were almost tempted by such good treatment.

A man from a poor family gritted his teeth and went to sign up. He really received three months’ advance salary, which was a total of six taels of silver!

Two taels of silver a month, six taels of silver for three months, that was more than 20 taels of silver a year.

The work-time is also short, and the Imperial Court still provided food and accommodation. Seeing more and more men run to sign up, the hesitant people no longer hesitated.

For the sake of their families, for the sake of they future, they had to work hard..
