Chapter 554: Chapter 37 Master’s Blame! I’ll Take it~_1
…
An aerial cold chain transportation system?
This name was entirely unfamiliar to the members of the In-laws Alliance. They understood each word individually, but when strung together, they simply could not comprehend it. They looked to each other for answers, but saw only bewilderment reflected on one another’s faces.
“Clap! Clap!” Wang Shouzhe, who was well-prepared, clapped twice.
A maid from the Wang family came forward and moved the large screen aside, revealing a meticulously drawn large-scale map behind the conference table.
The map was about a pace wide and under two paces long. It covered Longzuo County and its surroundings, including some areas outside the County and the East Sea Area.
The map’s detail was impressive; the mountains, rivers, and streams were all depicted very clearly. The known islands in the sea were also marked, especially the dozens of Guards, all located with exceptional clarity.
Every prominent family values information. However, most such families do not have the necessary breadth of vision; they typically only pay attention to nearby information and maps, staying in the dark about more distant families.
But Wang Shouzhe was different. As a transmigrator, his perspective and ambition were naturally higher, and he saw things from a different angle. His intelligence system, led by Wang Mei, was quietly spreading across the Southern Six Guards and even gradually extending to Longzuo County.
Moreover, when it came to collecting intelligence and integrating maps, he was always willing to invest. His agents had been assigned to consolidate the map of Longzuo County long ago.
With this map at hand,
It seemed as though he had all of Longzuo County under control.
“What a comprehensive map…” Celestial Lei of the Lei Family, Lei Yangyu, exclaimed. “The Lei Family also has a map of Longzuo County, but compared to this one, it’s ten times as rudimentary.”

Wang Shouzhe smiled but didn’t reply. This map required a great deal of his time and energy. For example, the terrain of the Eastern Sea was contributed in part by the Chen Clan of Donggang and Dantai and jade helped out a great deal.
In addition, the Wang family of Longzuo and Luo Jing, Luo Qiu contributed to this map. Especially Luo Jing, Luo Qiu – as Direct Disciples of the Purple Abode Academic Palace, they took advantage of their task execution to slowly photocopy some of the maps from the school and brought them back secretly.
This comprehensive map of Longzuo County was just the tip of the iceberg. Wang Shouzhe also had a secret room, where a whole bookshelf was filled with various intel, including information about each Guard’s families, important figures, specialties, and even some historical heritage and relationship networks, etc.
Wang Shouzhe has always spared no effort in this area. At the same time, he is also recording these into the Wang family’s “Artifacts Spirit.”
“There are a total of thirty-eight guard cities in Longzuo County,” Wang Shouzhe pointed out on the map. “For instance, this Northwest Guard is located at the farthest northwest of Longzuo County, where the pasturage industries thrive due to expansive territories. But people living here, most of them have never tasted the fresh seafood from the Hundred Islands Guard. They would need to travel for fifty days via horse carriage if they were to go to the Eastern Sea Guard or the Hundred Islands Guard!
“But if they take the flying carriage, they can reach the County Town within a day. From the County Town, they can reach the Eastern Sea Guard in only one and a half days, and reaching the Hundred Islands Guard will take only half a day.”
“By having the County Town as a central hub and rationally planning out several transport flying carriages, we can connect all thirty-eight guard cities in Longzuo County. Not only can these arrangements serve to transport people, but they can also accelerate the delivery of cold chain gourmet foods.”
“As for cold chain gourmet foods, we can collaborate with the Yuwen Clan. The Yuwen Clan’s Hundred Taste Residence is located throughout Longzuo County. They are doing business with high-end customers, and the demand for various fresh ingredients is tremendous. However, due to geographical differences, the ingredients available at Hundred Taste Residence vary widely. For example, in places such as Changning and Zhen Ze Guard, spirit fish and fresh fish, as well as extraterritorial spirit meat, are the specialty.”
“But if you want to taste fresh seafood, or some delicacies that only grow on the grasslands of the Northwest Guard like fresh spirit grass mushrooms or the famous Northwest Spirit Snow Sheep, the difficulty is high. The transportation of Spirit Snow Sheep via traditional land-based means would significantly increase the cost once it arrives in Changning Guard. Critical, however, is the long transport cycle. Spirit Snow Sheep are prone to sudden death on the way. Even if they survive the journey, they would be emaciated, with the quality of the meat altered.”
Wang Shouzhe stated: “I’m just providing an example. Many valuable high-end ingredients and spirit foods can be quickly distributed across the whole of Longzuo County via the Aerial Cold Chain Transportation System. The commercial value of this is self-evident.”
“Also, there would be increased demand in passenger services. In the past, people did not want to travel because the journey was long and arduous. Spending all day in a carriage drained them. But if there are affordable flying carriages, they could reach any Guard City in Longzuo County within three days. The increase in human mobility would invigorate the entirety of Longzuo County.”
“Then there is the mail and courier system,” Wang Shouzhe added. “Previously, when I wanted to write a letter or send something to the Chen Clan’s sister in Donggang, I had to dispatch one of the Clan’s head of household to go there directly. But if I wanted to send a letter or some small items to the Wang family of Longzuo, or to Luo Jing and Luo Qiu at the Academic Palace, I either had to rely on Wang Yong’s once-a-year trip or go through the Qian Family’s delivery system, which would take one to two months.”
“This is indeed too inefficient. If we can connect the 38 guard cities through the flying carriages and set up rider post stations in each town, we can realize the mail and courier industry within a very short time.”
The series of fresh concepts proposed by Wang Shouzhe left the allies wide-eyed and silent, as they needed some time to digest this information.
