On the banks of the Fengshui River, the newly completed honeycomb coal workshop is in full swing.

A truckload of coal that had just been transported was crushed into powder.

Workers quickly mix pulverized coal and clay together and stir with water.

Immediately afterward, someone used a mold to turn the mixed slime into pieces of honeycomb coal and put it on the conveyor belt.

The conveyor belt then catches the drive of the water wheel and transports the honeycomb coal to a nearby kiln.

In just one hour, hundreds of pieces of honeycomb coal are dried, and then they are stacked neatly.

There are 10 sets of such equipment, which can produce thousands of pieces of honeycomb coal every day.

Not far away, there is also a workshop that makes honeycomb stoves and chimneys.

Large quantities of pig iron are re-converted into molten iron and poured into pre-made molds.

Wait until it cools down and then assemble the parts from the various molds, which quickly form the coat of the honeycomb furnace.

Then someone touched the refractory soil in the hearth, and such a honeycomb furnace was completed.

Some people make wrought iron plates into long and short chimneys, so that they can easily piece together a honeycomb stove.

Only a small number of manpower has been used here, and many more have been assigned to other workshops.

Someone is making flat glass, which is used to sell people to make windows.

Someone is firing cement and bricks and tiles, which are all building materials.

Pei Mingli is vigorously selling these to the outside world.

With a model of a resettlement site, these things are not easy to sell at all.

There were many more people who were brought into Chang'an City by Li Zhi, and they were responsible for paving all the streets and alleys in Chang'an City into concrete roads.

The women were not idle, and Li Zhi made many spinning machines and bought large quantities of wool from Turkic merchants.

This wool is spun into wool.

Li Zhi specially asked the craftsmen of the clothing workshop to draw the method of weaving sweaters into drawings, and after engraving and printing, they were sold together with wool.

He also improved the existing spinning machine, increasing the number of spinning machines from two to sixteen.

The operation method has also been changed from manual to foot-pedal.

In this way, not only the spun yarn is more delicate and compact, but also the efficiency is increased by dozens of times.

Li Zhi hired more than a dozen sets of jacquard looms to produce high-end satin.

In this regard, he did not eat alone, but pulled in more than 20 companies, including Fang Xuanling and other three teachers, to invest together.

Of course, in order to show his fancy for family affection, Li Zhi also pulled in his brothers.

Even Li Chengqian and Li Tai were pulled into shares by him.

He actually couldn't do it because he couldn't do it.

Silk is the hard currency of the Tang Dynasty, and this thing can be directly used to pay officials' salaries.

Originally, these were produced by the common people themselves, and then they were purchased by the major clans at a monopolistic low price.

It is by this kind of operation that the clans earn a lot of profits every year.

What Li Zhi is doing now is actually like digging someone's ancestral grave.

He weighed his small physique, and felt that it was better to pull more people to form an alliance in this matter.

Otherwise, he was sure that he would soon have a second assassination.

The only thing that disappointed Li Zhi was that now he was the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty who had contracted hundreds of acres of land to grow cotton.

And these cotton were also contributed by him to the palace.

Otherwise, cotton can become a hot commodity.

With these money-making projects, Li Zhi's previous efforts have finally begun to pay off.

Then he immediately did another earth-shattering thing.

He printed a large number of books on a printing press and built a school in the settlement, where children were taught literacy free of charge.

At this moment, all the courtiers who had been extremely shocked before were all stunned.

Even Li Shimin had to call Li Zhi to the Taiji Palace.

He wanted to ask, how much money did Li Zhi have in his hands?

When Li Zhi came to the Taiji Palace, he found that in addition to Li Shimin, there were more than ten people, including Fang Xuanling.

The men were all sitting in their chairs and looking at him like monsters.

As soon as Li Zhi finished meeting these people, Li Shimin couldn't wait to ask: "Pheasant slave! To be honest with my father, how much money do you have? ”

Li Zhi thought about it in his heart and said: "I have spent a lot recently, and there should be hundreds of thousands of dollars left." ”

"Shhh

After building a small half of Chang'an City in the west of the city, Li Zhi still has hundreds of thousands left?

How much money does he have before that?

And how did he make so much money?

Li Zhi's words are simply too lethal.

He made everyone present feel that most of their lives had been in vain.

Li Shimin was the first to recover from the shock.

He spoke up again and asked, "That... Pheasant slave! Father wants to know how much you've spent so far? ”

Li Zhi said: "It's not a lot, it's just more than four million!" ”

"Bang"..."Goodong"..."Oops" Li Jing, who was sitting on the side, the eldest grandson Wuji and Dai Guan, fell to the ground almost at the same time.

Everyone else looked like their jaws were dropping.

At this moment, they no longer feel that they have lived in vain for half their lives, but they have determined that they have lived in vain.

Li Zhi had just established the mansion and earned himself a fortune of 5 million yuan in the early part of the year.

And they have been busy all their lives, and now they have only saved hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

You must know that they are all the top figures in Datang, and they also have their own businesses in addition to salaries and rewards.

But even so, the money they make is not as good as a fraction of Li Zhi's.

How embarrassing is this for them!

In fact, Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair at this time, felt more embarrassed than these people.

He has been desperately trying to save money since he succeeded to the throne.

Even the eldest grandson queen of the harem and the concubines had to weave silk by themselves before.

For more than a year, relying on Li Zhi's filial piety, the life of the harem and the Emperor Taishang has been better.

But even so, his own private vault was clean enough to starve rats.

However, Li Zhi was able to earn five million in more than a year, which was simply too big a blow to him!

Zhang Ananda stood in the corner, his right hand couldn't help but gently caress a jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand.

His eyes couldn't help but glance at the two jade plaques hanging from his waist.

There was also a Guanyin jade plaque hanging around his neck.

These things were all given to him by Li Zhi.

Originally, he thought that these things were a little too valuable, and he felt that he was a little sorry to hold them.

After all, Li Zhi has never bothered himself with anything.

Now it seems that these things are not a thing at all in Li Zhi's eyes.

After everyone was silent for a long time, Li Shimin finally thought of the right thing.

He asked Li Zhi with some doubts: "Now that you only have this money in your hand, how can you still support the road construction in Chang'an City and the future purchase of grain?" ”
