My bathroom connects to another world

Zhao Guang felt the urge to hold his head; there were too many things to handle, none of which were his expertise.

In truth, his expertise lay in magic research, and most of the research power in the Wisdom Tower was dedicated to various magic studies. The auxiliary research was also beneficial for his own cultivation.

Most of these matters had to be considered by himself.

Because Zhao Guang did not pay much attention or give much importance to these matters, even with his quick thinking, there were still some aspects he could not foresee. The distinction between being attentive and inattentive was vividly illustrated here.

But Zhao Guang was unwilling to divert his precious research resources to think about these issues.

"In that case, let's first select a group of well-performing Fishmen, put a slave contract on them, and send them to the sea. For now, make sure they do not breed, just stay in the shallow sea."

Xi Fei was somewhat curious: "What is the purpose of sending these Fishmen to the front sea?"

Zhao Guang waved his hand: "On one hand, it makes management easier for us. Tell the Fishmen that as long as they perform well, we can let them return to the ocean. They must still yearn for the marine environment."

That is indeed true; Fishmen are suited to the ocean.

As for tossing the Fishmen back and forth, Zhao Guang did not care, after all, they were not his own species.

They were initially here to wage war and had already attacked him, so what harm could a bit of tossing do?

As to how to select the well-performing ones, that was left to his subordinates' creativity. Human initiative is incredibly strong, and already, in such a short time, some people have managed to roughly communicate with the Fishmen.

Mind you, there is no one on land studying the language of the Sea Clan.

Not to mention, the Fishmen's language is also very unique among the Sea Clan, highly variable, as if it contains many dialects mixed together.

But for better management of the Sea Clan and to elevate one's position, someone truly could study it in a short time.

Even Zhao Guang had to admire this when he heard of it. Initially, Zhao Guang had Naga act as the translator since Naga could directly communicate with the Fishmen, there was no need to learn that complicated language.

"This is fine, I will make the arrangements, but what use are those Fishmen?"

This is the biggest question; they cannot just soak in the ocean, that would be a waste of their slave contracts, even if it's a modified contract book, it would still be a waste.

In this regard, Zhao Guang had already thought it through; many aspects of territory development could be applied.

"For now, let them develop marine products, those fish and many marine goods can be harvested. Even coral can be organized as a craft item."

"But, but those marine products are hard to preserve."

That is the biggest issue; otherwise, why would no one want to develop the ocean industry? Not only because of the Sea Clan's invasion, but also because marine products are perishable, they spoil easily.

Generally, these things could only be purchased in coastal areas, and even there they were not cheap.

Transporting them inland was virtually impossible because there was no way to preserve them en route.

"Have some Magic Net Summoners go over, aren't some of them struggling to find work? Offer them high wages."

Zhao Guang pondered for a moment and then simply said: "Let those capable of summoning Ice Elements handle freezing and escorting the seafood; this will ensure freshness during transit."

Great Nobles naturally have people specifically for this kind of task, but the costs are high, and few can afford it.

After all, employing a mage is difficult, even for the Great Nobles, for it is considered a menial task. Most of the people they hire simply transport ice to keep things fresh with it.

To meet their daily needs was already fortunate, other people couldn't even consider it.

But now with Ice Elements in charge of direct freezing and escorting along the journey, freshness would certainly not be an issue.

It was only due to the ease of cultivating Magic Net Summoners in his territory that Zhao Guang could afford to be so profligate; in the past, he wouldn't have even considered it.

"Additionally, the Magic Energy Mechanical Development Department should have refrigerators developed by now, bring them out for use as soon as possible." Even if they're not perfect, they can be used temporarily.

Besides, progressing without seeing benefits would naturally be slow.

As long as they are brought to market and benefits can be seen, the development speed will accelerate.

"Understood, I will note this down immediately," said Xi Fei, taking down notes so that Zhao Guang would not have to worry.

After some thought, Zhao Guang spoke again: "Also, have those who can summon Fire Elements join as well, a lot of seafood can be directly turned into dried goods, which are easy to preserve and can be sold farther."

Dried goods form a large category among marine products, with substantial profits.

Although large-scale ocean farming isn't feasible yet, Fishmen's fishing capabilities far surpass those of fishermen.

Their nation has just started developing the coastal areas, so there are not many fishermen there for now.

If there were more, his actions might significantly affect many people's interests, naturally bringing great resistance.

But it's different now. The region is a blank slate, and he can paint as he wishes. When local fishermen find their work unprofitable, they'll naturally look for alternatives.

For example, they could directly engage in the acquisition and transportation of marine products.

Those daring and enterprising enough to venture to the coast now are certainly capable people. And those willing to become fishermen surely have their own sales channels. Who knows, they might become major marine product merchants in the future.

"Moreover, since the coast has been secured, produce salt there to lower the territory's salt prices."

In this world, salt is a substantial issue. Because the Delan Continent does not lack grain, salt prices are even higher, forming important tax revenue for major nations.

Zhao Guang had no intention to profit from this, so having secured the coast, he might as well suppress the salt issue directly.

Whether this affects other countries is not his concern. Zhao Guang continued pondering other small matters while Xi Fei jotted them down one by one.

Currently, Xi Fei oversees the coastal development, effectively the highest-ranking official there.

"Alright, that's about it for now. You may go ahead. Also, once you've finished this period of work, focus on honing your strengths. Soon, I may break through, and by then you should follow suit."

"Understood, I will temporarily hand over matters to Morna." Last time, Morna's performance was indeed commendable.
