Chapter 243: Poor

The housekeeper was stunned, and felt that the air around him was cold, so he subconsciously retreated, hesitating whether to answer or not.

"Butler, don't you even listen to Young Master Ben's words? Let's talk about it. ”

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

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, but did a lot of big things.

Then, the housekeeper sighed and spoke: "Young master, the old slave also told the old man about this, and the old man also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know how to tell you, since you want to listen, the old slave was scolded next to him, so he said it." ”

Li Zhao's eyes looked at him with blazing eyes.

"You have spent too much money recently, even if Chang'an Township keeps making a lot of money, but the savings are not much, and you have to weigh it if you want to expand production."

Hehe!

Li Zhao smiled bitterly, a little embarrassed.

He understood, the housekeeper said that he was a loser, and naturally he was the one who didn't go well.

However, he didn't want to, the things in the department store were so expensive, and he bought so many things during this time, it was strange that Chang'an Township could have deposits.

"How much money do you have left?" During this time, when they needed to buy, they all went to the account room to withdraw money by themselves, but they did not pay attention to how much money was still in the account room.

It turned out that the account room was managed by the housekeeper, and later Li Jinong was not at ease, so he took it to manage it himself, but as the income of Chang'an Township became larger and larger, the accounts became larger and more complicated, and he had to deal with other matters, so he invited Mr. Bookkeeper.

Mr. Bookkeeper was respectful to Li Zhao, and he did not hesitate to take as much as Li Zhao, so he made Li Zhao spend excessively.

"Less than a thousand gold!" The housekeeper counted with his fingers, his face full of heartache and helplessness.

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

Although the daughter is already an astronomical amount for the people of Daqin, it is different for Chang'an Township, and all kinds of expenses are huge, which is really not enough.

Not to mention anything else, just a hydropower station is a gluttony.

"There are still not enough industries to make money!"

Li Zhao groaned in annoyance.

The hydropower station will have to invest a lot of money in the near future, and the sales in Xianyang and its surroundings have become saturated, and the accounts are only that, far from enough for the recent expenditure.

Gao Fugui is developing the market, but there must be a process, whether this process is a year or two years, it's really hard to say, so there must be some more profitable industries at the moment.

After thinking about it, Li Zhao's skull hurt a little.

If he wants to make quick money to maintain the expenses of several gold-absorbing beasts, it seems that he can't think of much.

At this moment, it is early autumn, and it will soon be a cold winter, the winter of Xianyang is cold, and then look at the cold things in Daqin, they are all very expensive, for the dignitaries, this is nothing, but for ordinary people, it is a difficult day.

The nobles' things to protect against the cold include fur coats, ordinary people can't afford to buy them, so they can only wear sackcloth, how can hemp 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, and the more used is cotton clothes, and cotton clothes are made of cotton, but Daqin has no cotton at present, so naturally it is impossible to make cotton clothes or quilts.

Li Zhao had an idea to grow cotton.

The yield of cotton is large, and if it is planted in large quantities, it is enough to solve the problem of keeping out the cold, but it takes a long time.

Cotton blooms in February to March, which means that it only takes three months to harvest cotton, but one disadvantage is that it only takes July to August to harvest.

To be precise, cotton is planted in the spring, and harvested between summer and early autumn.

But it's already early autumn, and it's too late.

"I don't know if the cotton in the system will ignore this drawback and harvest at any time." The idea was abandoned in a flash.

Not to mention that the time is tight now, even if it is extended for some more time, it is useless, the test system cotton needs a process, when this process passes, it will take at least two to three months, even if it is successful, it will be planted in large quantities, and it will be ripe, and it will take at least half a year to go back and forth.

It's not a good way to do it.

So, he thought about drying salt again.

For salt, the current Great Qin is all in the hands of the imperial court, and the people are not allowed to sell it, but Yingzheng gave Li Zhao the privilege of doing business, and if he said to Yingzheng, he should be able to get part of the right to sell.

At present, most of the salt in Daqin is coarse salt, which is bitter and astringent, contains too many impurities, and even some salt from non-seawater salt mines contains heavy metals, which will be poisoned if you eat too much.

It was a good idea, if he could get the right to sell it, he could use modern technology to make salt, which would be a good way to make a lot of money and make a quick buck.

But when he thought about it, he shook his head, if this was the case, the salt he produced would definitely be very popular, and the official salt would be eliminated in time, how could Yingzheng see this happen?

It doesn't seem to work, unless the entire salt industry of Daqin is taken over, hehe! This is also nonsense, and it is impossible for Brother Zheng to agree.

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

"Food, clothing, housing, transportation"

People want to survive, nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, in the near term, food and clothing are not feasible, housing is even more unworkable, the current Daqin is not like modern, just a few suites can make people become local tyrants, then there is only 'line'.

"Okay? Carriage? ”

At present, the Daqin people travel, generally speaking, there are no more than three types, riding horses, riding carriages, and walking.

Horses and carriages are too expensive to be purchased by ordinary people, so they are naturally abandoned by ordinary people, who can only travel on foot.

Walking is too elaborate on foot strength, and the trip is not far away, which causes many people to travel limitations, if

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