Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Unable to sell salt, we can only think of other ways to make money.

Fortunately, there are many ways to make money in modern times, and some of them worked in ancient times.

Liu Hiiragi didn’t start with food.

This aspect was taken over by Tan Shiyu.

She made the cream cake, and Tan Shiyu also made the hot pot and ice cream.

However, due to restrictions on raw materials, purchase of cream cakes and ice cream is limited.

There is no purchase limit for hot pot, but in ancient times there were no chili peppers, only dogwood for seasoning. The spiciness was not authentic enough, and a lot of the original flavor of hot pot was missing.

Although the hot pot business is still good, it is far from as good as the sales of cream cakes and ice cream.

If you don’t start with food, where should you start?
  real estate?
  Don't be kidding me.

In ancient times, most of the land was in the hands of the powerful, so it was strange that real estate could be obtained.

Making clocks?

Forget it, the craftsmanship of that thing is so complicated that if a craftsman makes it, he might not be able to make one for several months.

How do we do this?

Liu Heng scratched his head, and finally he came up with an idea.

Selling bars.

Of course not selling food and wine.

There is not enough food for people to eat now, so where can we use it to make wine?

Fortunately, there are also many wild fruit trees in the mountains.

These wild fruits have not been domesticated by humans, and most of them are sour and difficult to eat.

This kind of fruit is not suitable for eating, but it is suitable for making wine.

Liu Ping then gathered the women and children in the village, asked the children to pick fruits, and took the women to make fruit wine.

After the fruit wine is brewed, it is sent to the main city of Yizhou for sale.

Just one day after the sale, the steward of the Jiedushi Mansion came to the door. Under coercion, the fruit wine was moved away for less than one-third of the selling price.

Zhang Ruonan's eyes flashed after hearing this, and he ordered his subordinates: "From now on, we will continue to provide fruit wine to Jiedushifu at this price."

Zhang Ruonan approached Liu Heng and asked him to think of ways to make money.

Liu Heng was at the mountain stream at this time, instructing the carpenters to install the waterwheel.

The most troublesome aspect of reclaiming terraced fields is watering.

Carrying water from mountain streams is time-consuming and laborious. Now that there are few manpower, making a waterwheel is the best solution.

Liu Hiiragi has a background in science and engineering. Although he does not know what an ancient waterwheel is, he can study it with his own science knowledge.

When Zhang Ruonan arrived, the water wheel was installed and the crowd cheered.

Zhang Ruonan also had a smile on his face.

Looking at the water pouring out of the water tube, Zhang Ruonan happily said to Liu Heng: "This way, we can save some manpower to do other things."

Liu Heng: "Didn't the village take in some more refugees?"

Zhang Ruonan: "There are too many things to do, and no matter how many people come, it won't be enough."

Liu Heng: "It's better to go to other state capitals to recruit people."

Zhang Ruonan: "We have sent people there, but the results are not great. People nowadays are not willing to leave their hometowns. As long as they can live a little better, no one will leave their hometowns."

Liu Heng: "There are still a lot of refugees, right?"

Zhang Ruonan: "There are quite a few. But very few of the refugees can be found alive by our people. Many refugees do not live long."

Liu Heng fell silent upon hearing this.

This world...

Liu Heng: "I can save some."

Zhang Ruonan responded dully and said to Liu Heng: "There are more people in the cottage, and there is more consumption..."

Liu Heng instantly understood what Zhang Ruonan meant by looking for him.

Liu Heng scratched his head: "Didn't we just create a channel for brewing and selling wine?"

Zhang Ruonan sneered: "The people from the Jiedushi Mansion took a fancy to those wines, and bought them all at one-third of the price."

Liu Heng: "This is an open robbery!"

Zhang Ruonan: "Don't worry, those who are greedy for us will be spit out sooner or later."

Liu Heng scratched his head and sighed: "Okay, I'll think of a way."

Three days later, Liu Heng summoned a group of carpenters with the drawings he drew and asked them to build the things on the drawings.

Zhang Ruonan didn't care about what Liu Heng wanted to create. She will naturally know when the finished product comes out.

She is extremely busy now, and the affairs of the entire village are on her shoulders.

Are you talking about the lord Zhao Yinze?
  He went out to help Zhang Ruonan find help.

Zhang Ruonan complained to Zhao Yinze that there were too many things to handle by himself.

Zhao Yinze giggled.

Anyway, he didn't want to do these chores.

Zhao Yinze said that he would help Zhang Ruonan find a helper.

It just so happened that he knew someone who had some skills in handling internal affairs.

He can go find that person.

Zhang Ruonan looked sideways at Zhao Yinze.

This guy is probably out of his mind because he has been free recently and wants to go out for a walk.

Zhao Yinze continued to hey.

Zhang Ruonan waved his right hand and approved Zhao Yinze's application for going out.

However, she gave Zhao Yinze a list and asked Zhao Yinze to "invite" those people on the list back.

The people on this list are knowledgeable people that Zhang Ruonan knows, and they have all visited or studied at Zhangjia Academy.

However, because of the differences between men and women, they have never met Zhang Ruonan.

Zhang Ruonan had seen these people hiding behind the screen.

Zhang Ruonan would hide behind the screen and listen to the opinions of those who came to visit Zhang's father.

She turned around and forgot about some people's boastful remarks.

The truly knowledgeable people were remembered by Zhang Ruonan.

Zhang Ruonan wants these people to help him.

She is not afraid of those people seeing through her true identity.

These people only know that the Zhang family has a daughter, but they don't know the name of the Zhang family's daughter.

She can then say that she is Father Zhang's nephew.

As long as those people still remember Father Zhang's teachings, they should be able to stay and help her.

She won't force those who don't care about Zhang's father's guidance.

But those people should not leave the village easily.

Neither she nor Zhao Yinze would let these people leave and leak the secrets of the cottage.

Zhang Ruonan raised the corners of her lips slightly.

I just hope those people can see the situation clearly.

Half a month later, Liu Heng sent someone to find Zhang Ruonan and said that the finished product he wanted was ready.

Zhang Ruonan hurried over.

Seeing the finished product, Zhang Ruonan immediately understood its use.

After all, she is a woman.

Although she is a young lady from a scholarly family, she has also been exposed to spinning and weaving.

Zhang Ruonan: "Is this a loom?"

Liu Hiiragi: "The textile machine can both spin thread and weave cloth, and its efficiency is more than ten times higher than that of current spinning machines and looms."

Zhang Ruonan's eyes shone: "Is it really that efficient?"

Liu Heng: "I have lied to you."

Zhang Ruonan said happily: "Great, now everyone in the cottage has no shortage of fabrics to make clothes."

Liu Heng whispered: "It's a pity that there is no cotton."

Zhang Ruonan asked: "What did you say?"

Liu Heng: "Nothing."

He decided that when he had more manpower, he would send people to India to look for cotton.

Zhang Ruonan gathered the women and started weaving cloth.

The cloth was transported down the mountain and exchanged for money.

It’s not as profitable as perfume, but it’s a steady stream of business.
