Chapter 457 Jealousy
After everyone lined up, Feng Jiuyou arranged for people to start sorting and weighing the seafood in their barrels.
Most of them are about marine fish, shrimps, crabs and shells, but there are also some that are more valuable, such as sea cucumbers, abalone, etc.
Finally, the money was settled according to type.
Yang Sheng’s mother took the money handed over and suddenly felt an unreal feeling.
After counting it five or six times, I realized that it was really silver, and there were five taels in total, so my eyes turned red with joy.
Another villager who got the money shook the money in his hand, with a look of disbelief on his face, and murmured to himself:
“I’m not dreaming, am I?”
"If you bite yourself, you will know if you are dreaming?"
A villager who came with him said in a sour tone.
The villager really did as he was told, raised his thick arm and put it in his mouth.
Soon, the originally strong forearm suddenly had a bite mark.
"Hey~ It really hurts."
"That proves that I'm not dreaming."
The villagers who craned their necks to watch not far away We were also shocked by this number.
"These families are really lucky."
"Oh my God...those things can really be sold for so much money. Am I dreaming?"
>"I saw it too."
Fortunately, there were not many people rushing to the sea this time, and they were all done in a short time.
“Island owner, will you still accept these things in the future?”
A slightly clear voice sounded from the side.
"Yes, there will be a market here at the dock, and there will be people here every day. As long as you can catch seafood, you can sell it here. But again, only fresh products will be accepted Yes, but I suggest that before you go looking for seafood, you can first understand the types of seafood to avoid catching poisonous seafood."
Feng Jiuyou said.
“I don’t know where I can learn about the types of seafood.”
The man who spoke before had a glint in his eyes. This might be another way out.
"Major bookstores will sell some books on marine knowledge, which can be purchased for only one hundred pennies. As for those who are illiterate, I will send someone to the school to explain it, but it will only last three days. If you miss it, you will find a way.
In the future, I will build some ships. If you are interested, you can also go to Jiuyou Trading Company to rent a ship and go to sea. "
Everything is difficult at the beginning, ships are not cheap, I think. It is unrealistic for the villagers to buy their own houses. If they can rent, it will save a lot of pressure.
When you earn enough money, it won’t be so painful to buy a boat.
Speaking of this, Feng Jiuyou suddenly felt that there were many things that had not been done.
Jiuyou City had just stabilized before, and there were many things to be settled, and there was not much time to improve the quality of life of the people.
There was a war in the past, the people had no fixed place to live, and everyone was in danger. It's different now, several months have passed.
Some things should also appear, such as papermaking, printing, and a lot of refined salt and sugar.
If you are poor, you can be good for yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world.
Feng Jiuyou is not short of money now, so she has no intention of selling refined salt and sugar at a higher price.
And she will only keep these two things in her own hands, and will never let others monopolize them for profit.
"The island owner is kind, and I am lucky to be a citizen of Jiuyou Island. I, Zhang Huai, will never betray the island owner or Jiuyou Island in the future."
The man heard Yan was shocked and quickly bowed his hands to Feng Jiuyou.
