Unlike modern times, the Qing Dynasty did not have electronic communication equipment. In addition, the sea was safe, so even if someone went missing, they could be located by satellite. Furthermore, the ships had a high safety factor, so there was naturally no major danger.
But things were different in ancient times!
In ancient times, there were not many guarantees of personal safety, and going to sea was too risky. It was much more cost-effective to engage in marine aquaculture.
Qiu Wen knew that the ocean was a treasure trove, especially now. Since no one else was doing this kind of business, she might as well be the first to try it.
When Luo Xue learned of Qiu Wen's plan, her first reaction was that her mistress was being too... too presumptuous. Why would she abandon her bookstore business and get involved in aquaculture? It sounded incredibly unreliable.
Luo Xue felt that as a loyal servant, she should try to persuade her mistress, just in case she realized her mistake and returned to the right path!
“Miss, our bookstore is doing just fine. Why did you suddenly decide to get into seafood farming? Nobody has ever done this before, there are no role models to learn from, and we have no experience. Miss, why don’t we just focus on running the bookstore properly?”
What Luo Xue said actually aligns with the mindset of someone who lets go. Aquaculture does sound unreliable, but regardless of its feasibility, Qiu Wen is determined to give it a try. If she weren't near the sea, she wouldn't care, but since she's so close to the sea, she'd be letting down her modern soul if she didn't give it a shot.
"It's alright, it won't cost too much money anyway, don't worry!"
At this moment, Luo Xue was inwardly in tears. My dear lady! We have a different concept of money. According to your plan, it means it won't cost too much money?
That's incredibly expensive.
Never mind, as long as Miss is happy, yes, as long as she's happy.
Snowflakes have resigned themselves to their fate.
"Pack your bags. This trip to the estate will probably take a long time. Let's leave tomorrow."
"Yes, Miss."
Qiu Wen led Luo Xue towards the manor, preparing to develop a secondary industry.
In the capital, Yunrong received the books that Bobo had sent.
Yunrong opened the book and was somewhat surprised by what she found. She vaguely felt that the plot of these books was familiar, and the slap-in-the-face plot seemed to be similar to that in TV dramas!
Bobo returned the book, but didn't explain why, which made Yunrong a little suspicious.
Yunrong then gave the book to Yinzhen so that he could take a look as well.
Yinzhen flipped through it and said, "Why did you suddenly decide to show me a storybook?"
Yinzhen had never read any face-slapping novels or watched any TV series. He just thought the story was pretty good, at least it was very enjoyable to read, but he didn't feel anything else.
He was an emperor, and although the stories he wrote were good, some parts were illogical. He was a down-to-earth person, so he naturally didn't feel much about these unrealistic stories.
So Yunrong shared her guess.
"I suspect that modern people have also traveled over from Bobo's side."
Yinzhen was quite surprised: "Why would you say that?"
Yunrong said, "These books were sent by Bobo. Some of the stories in them are familiar. I've read stories from the Qing Dynasty, and they are very different from these. Even novels today are the same. People from different eras think differently, and that can't be changed. These stories don't seem to have been written by people from the Qing Dynasty."
Yinzhen did not doubt Yunrong's words: "Then what do you think?"
Yunrong didn't really think much about it: "Since that person is writing stories, we can send someone to investigate. If there's nothing to worry about, we can send someone to observe them secretly. In any case, their existence is a good thing to some extent."
Yinzhen listened to Yunrong; he planned to do this even if Yunrong hadn't said anything.
At that moment, Yunrong suddenly had an idea.
"Do you think Bobo will bring us a modern girl in the future?"
It's not impossible!
Yinzhen: "Bobo is still young. Besides, his marriage cannot be taken lightly. This matter needs to be handled with care."
Yunrong naturally knew this.
"Too."
Qiu Wen did encounter a problem, or rather, she came to the beach intending to inspect the situation, when a voice suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Ocean system at your service, would you like to bind your account?"
Yes or No
Qiu Wen was a little confused. She had read the novel, but found it a bit far-fetched, so she wasn't very interested. She knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, so she clicked "no".
Then she heard it again.
"The ocean system is binding at 1%...5%...20%...80%...100% binding complete. The ocean system is dedicated to serving you."
Qiu Wen was completely baffled; that's why it had made her make a choice in the first place.
"Luoxue, I'd like to take a look over there. You don't need to come over yet." Although Luoxue found it a bit strange, she didn't say anything because it was quiet here.
"Alright, Miss, please call me if you need anything."
Once they reached a secluded spot, Qiu Wen asked the system in her mind.
"What are you?"
"This system is a marine system; I can provide you with services related to everything related to the ocean."
Qiu Wen didn't believe there was such a good thing.
What do you need me to do?
"The host doesn't need to do anything. The host only needs to develop the relevant marine business as much as possible. This system will serve you wholeheartedly."
Qiu Wen asked it some more about its detailed functions, and it answered all her questions without reservation. Qiu Wen thought that she didn't even know if she had been given a free life, and the worst outcome would be that she would die, so she simply put her mind at ease.
Then I started using the system.
