The housekeeper was startled, feeling that the air around him had become colder, so he subconsciously stepped back, hesitating in his heart whether to answer or not.

"Butler, don't you even listen to what I say? Come on, tell me."

Li Zhao noticed the butler's hesitation and said seriously.

The housekeeper was helpless and pointed at Li Zhao. Li Zhao was stunned. The housekeeper clearly meant that he made Chang'an Township unhappy, but he did not make Chang'an Township unhappy. Instead, he did many great things.

Then, the butler sighed and said, "Master, originally I told you this. I also felt something was wrong, but I didn't know how to tell you. Since you want to listen, I said it because I was scolded next to you.

"

Li Zhao looked at him with bright eyes.

"You have spent too much of your family's wealth recently. Even if Chang'an Township keeps making a lot of money, you don't have much savings. You have to think carefully if you want to expand production."

hehe!

Li Zhao smiled bitterly, feeling a little embarrassed.

He understood clearly that the housekeeper was saying that he was a prodigal, so naturally he was the one who was going to be unhappy.

However, he didn't want to think about it. Things in department stores were extremely expensive, and he had bought so many things during this period. It was strange that Chang'an Township could save money.

"How much money is left in the deposit?" During this period, when I needed to make a purchase, I always went to the cashier's office to withdraw money on my own, but I didn't pay attention to how much money was left in the cashier's office.

It turned out that the accountant was in charge of the housekeeper. Later, Li Jinong became worried and took charge of it himself. However, as the income of Chang'an Township increased, the accounts became larger and larger, and he had to take care of other matters, so he hired the housekeeper.

Mr. Accountant.

Mr. Accountant was very respectful to Li Zhao. He did not hesitate to take any amount from Li Zhao, so he spent a lot of money to educate Li Zhao.

"Not enough!" The butler counted on his fingers, his face full of heartache and helplessness.

Today's Chang'an Township can be said to be making a lot of money every day, but Li Zhao's excessive use, coupled with the recent construction and expansion of production, have cost so much that even the gold mines have to collapse.

Although a thousand gold is already an astronomical figure for the people of Daqin, it is different for Chang'an Township. All expenses are huge, which is really not enough.

Let’s not talk about other things, just a hydropower station is a glutton for attracting money.

“There are still not enough profitable industries!”

Li Zhao groaned in distress.

A large amount of money will be invested in the hydropower station in the near future, and sales in Xianyang and surrounding areas have become saturated, so the amount of money in the account is only that, which is far from enough for the recent expenditure.

Gao Fugui is developing the market, but there must be a process. It’s hard to say whether this process will take one year or two years. Therefore, some more profitable industries must emerge at the moment.

After thinking about it, Li Zhao felt a little pain in his head.

If he wants to make quick money to support the expenditures of several big money-sucking beasts, it seems that there isn't much he can think of.

It is early autumn now, and it will soon be a cold winter. The winter in Xianyang is cold. Looking at the things that are used to protect against the cold in the Qin Dynasty, they are all very expensive. For the nobles, this is nothing, but for ordinary people, it is

Difficult days.

Fur coats are something the nobles wear to keep out the cold. Ordinary people can't afford them, so they can only wear linen clothes. How can linen clothes keep out the cold well?

Therefore, once it encounters a cold winter, many people freeze to death.

For modern people, there are countless things to keep out the cold in winter. The most commonly used ones are cotton-padded clothes, which are made of cotton. However, there is no cotton in Daqin, so it is naturally impossible to make cotton-padded clothes or quilts.

Li Zhao had an idea to plant cotton.

Cotton has a large yield, and if planted in large quantities, it can solve the problem of keeping out the cold, but it will take a long time.

The flowering period of cotton is about February to March, which means that it only takes three months to harvest cotton. However, there is a disadvantage that it only takes July to August to harvest.

To be precise, cotton planting is suitable for spring and harvesting between summer and early autumn.

But it is already early autumn and it is too late.

"I wonder if systematic cotton can ignore this shortcoming and be able to harvest it at any time." This idea was only given up in a flash.

Not to mention that time is tight now, even if it is extended for some time, it will not help. Testing system cotton requires a process. When this process is over, it will take at least two to three months. Even if it succeeds, it will still need to be planted in large quantities.

It will take at least half a year to wait for it to mature and go back and forth.

This is not a good approach.

So he thought of drying salt again.

As for salt, the current Qin Dynasty is all in the hands of the imperial court, and the private sector is not allowed to sell it. However, Ying Zheng gave Li Zhao business privileges. If he talks to Ying Zheng, he should be able to get part of the selling rights.

Nowadays, most of the salt in Daqin is coarse salt. This coarse salt is bitter and contains too many impurities. Some salts from non-seawater salt mines even contain heavy metals. If you eat too much, you will be poisoned.

This is a good idea. If he can win the sales rights and use modern technology to make salt, it will be a good way to make a lot of money quickly.

But when I think about it, I shake my head. If this is the case, the salt he produces will definitely be very popular, and official salt will be eliminated in a short time. How could Ying Zheng see this happening?

It doesn't seem to work, unless the entire salt industry of Da Qin is taken over, haha! This is also nonsense, and Brother Zheng cannot agree to it.

Li Zhao's head exploded when he thought about it.

"Food, clothing, housing and transportation, food, clothing, housing and transportation"

To survive, people need nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation. In the near future, food and clothing are not feasible, and housing is even less feasible. The current Qin Dynasty is not like modern times. Just a few houses can make people become rich, and then the only thing left is "work".

"Okay? Carriage?"

Nowadays, people in Daqin generally travel in three ways: riding horses, riding carriages, and walking.

Horses and carriages are too expensive and cannot be purchased by ordinary people, so they are naturally abandoned by ordinary people, who can only travel on foot.

Walking requires too much leg strength, and the distance is not far, which has caused many people’s travel limitations. If

Suddenly, Li Zhao's eyes lit up and he thought of bicycles.
