However, the current scale of the caravan cannot absorb too many disaster victims, and more industries must be developed.

Starting from the basics, Zhu Cha had someone build a workshop specifically for producing furniture and started a furniture business.

The furniture business is usually a lukewarm business, with profits but not particularly large. However, as he arrived in Qingzhou City and began to build new houses on a large scale, the population of Qingzhou City continued to pour in, and the demand for furniture was relatively strong.

The residents who have relocated to the 6-story building are mainly the original relocated households. They have some furniture at home, but living in the building with many rooms inevitably requires the purchase of new furniture. As for new tenants, they also need to purchase new furniture.

Zhu estimates that the continuous influx of population will last for a long time, and after this wave of disaster, there will definitely be many disaster victims staying in or around Qingzhou City, and the demand for furniture will still be relatively strong.

Anyway, whoever earns this money also earns it, it's better to let oneself earn it.

So, the cutting of trees that needed to be cut down, the construction of workshops that needed to be built, and the production of furniture that needed to be made, absorbed another group of people.

In a few days, the Qi Wang Mansion has absorbed as many as 5000 people from the disaster victims!

However, the number of disaster victims outside Xicheng Gate has not decreased, but rather increased.

At present, the number of disaster victims gathered outside the city has reached 30000!

Zhu Cha has already started to feel the pressure!

Thirty thousand people open their mouths to eat every day, it's really terrifying. Disaster relief is not as simple as he imagined.

Inside the estate, Zhu Zhan watched as bags of grain were loaded onto trucks and transported to the west gate.

Your Highness, this is not a solution. It seems that more disaster victims will come to our Qingzhou City

Jiangyin Marquis is worried.

The number of disaster victims is too large, and they keep pouring in. How much food can withstand it?

Zhu Cha smiled and comforted the old man, "Father in law, there's no need to panic too much. Look, now that we're building the Qi Wang Mansion, we've added a lot of free labor, just providing some food. After all, we've saved a lot of money, haven't we

The previous employees were all paid wages, but now the disaster victims do not need to pay wages at all, saving a lot of money.

The same goes for the construction of asphalt roads, which saved a lot of expenses for Zhucha Festival.

But that's not enough, he needs to make the disaster victims generate more value. To put it bluntly, he needs to make them earn money for themselves, so that they can continue to feed more disaster victims.

He is worried about this.

Your Highness's idea is good, but what kind of business can accommodate so many disaster victims? The only profitable businesses now are spices, fabrics, and restaurants, which don't require too many people

The most profitable business is actually selling salt, but the Qi royal family has long been engaged in this business.

The speaker had no intention, the listener had intention, and Zhu Cha's eyes lit up.

Cloth!

Yeah, you can work in the textile industry!

Zhu Zhan's several major projects require strong young adults, all targeting men.

Among the disaster victims, the number of women is also very large!

And their husbands, sons, fathers, and others have either died or worked under the hands of Prince Qi. In recent days, several women have been persecuted, leading to several cases.

If the idle women can be centralized for management, it will be more helpful for maintaining order and stability of public security.

reliable!

Because he knew that the textile industry in the Ming Dynasty was actually quite developed. The true rise of the textile industry began in the mid to late Ming Dynasty, with the promotion of cotton cultivation.

Moreover, the textile industry is mainly concentrated in the south. In fact, whether it is cotton planting or cotton fabric production, it does not delay in the north.

The reason why the textile industry of the Ming Dynasty was concentrated in the south was due to the court's upward trade, which connected with foreign ports in the south.

So, in the northern textile industry, there is no delay at all, and now it is the early Ming Dynasty, which is a period of recuperation. The people will gradually become prosperous, and the demand for cotton cloth will also increase year by year.

There is a huge market demand in China!

When foreign trade develops in the future, relying on the textile reputation accumulated in the early stage and the status of a feudal lord, it is not too difficult to get involved.

Zhu Cha thought of it and immediately sent people to continue building the workshop, this time on a larger scale.

Then, he exchanged several sets of textile tools from the system and had the carpenter compare them for mass production.

With the production of textile trucks, a total of 5000 women were selected to start working in textile workshops.

On the one hand, Zhu Cha used his experience points to exchange for some cotton, while on the other hand, he sent people to other places to purchase cotton and silk.

The Qi Wang Mansion mainly produces two types of fabrics, with cotton as the main product and silk as the main material.

Not long after, Zhu Zhan's cloth shops appeared in Qingzhou City, and the merchant caravan, with workshops, also produced pieces of cotton cloth and sold them to various states and counties in Qi.

The silver once again flowed into his pocket like flowing water, leaving Zhu Zhan quite shocked.

This is currently his most profitable business, apart from selling salt!

Most of the production materials are exchanged through the system, and labor costs nothing. The fabric sold is basically pure profit, so it's no wonder it's not profitable! Moreover, the current price of cloth is still not cheap, and ordinary people are only willing to buy how much cloth in a year.

Counting the white silver, Zhu Zhan waved his hand and said, "Recruit another 5000 female workers! The kind who are clever and skilled
