The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

The person in charge of the money in the office is a trustworthy person chosen by the prince. Otherwise, how can the court rest assured if the money is not handed over? Moreover, this is a major event related to the recovery of lost territory in the future, so it must not be neglected.

While Su Anton was busy, Old Lady Su and her group were also busy on their journey.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth and nothing happened. The group arrived at Nanling Prefecture smoothly.

During this journey, Su Yuanyuan would buy whatever she liked and store it in her space. Her current space was rich in supplies. There were all kinds of things.

Finally, at the end of May, Mrs. Su and her entourage entered the jurisdiction of Nanling Prefecture.

Because Zhou Huilan had a mouthpiece, she had contacted Su Anton in advance and knew where to find Su Anton.

Zhou Huilan informed Su Andong the day before the group arrived at Nanling Prefecture, so the next day, Su Zhihao went to the city gate to wait. Su Andong went out as usual because he had official business.

As soon as the group arrived at the city gate, they saw Su Zhihao. The guards at the city gate knew Su Zhihao. After all, Su Andong was a new thing in Nanling Prefecture during this period of time. His every move attracted attention from all parties, so naturally he knew the son of Su Zhihao.

Those who came were all relatives of Master Su. The guards at the city gate did not make things difficult for them. Instead, they checked their household registration and then let them pass very happily.

This was the first time that Su Zhihao had been away from his family for such a long time since he came here. He had to say that he missed them very much. In addition to missing them, Su Zhihao was also a little worried. Now that he saw that his family was all well, he finally felt relieved and was very happy.

The Su family was also very happy to see Su Zhihao. After all, they had been on the road for so long. Now seeing Su Zhihao, they felt like they had reached their destination and everything was settled.

Su Yuanyuan looked at her brother with indescribable joy in her heart. Although the two siblings often quarreled, they cared about each other very much. She missed her brother very much after being separated from him for so long.

Old Mrs. Su and Zhou Huilan were much more direct in their expressions. Old Mrs. Su happily held her grandson's hand, while Zhou Huilan held the other one.

Su Zhihao is now a grown man, and he still feels a little embarrassed to be held by his grandmother and mother. But looking at his happy grandmother and mother, and his sister who is gloating on the side, he is reluctant to let go of the elders' hands and interrupt this warm atmosphere.

Fortunately, Mrs. Su and Zhou Huilan knew their limits and let go of each other's hands after a while.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Su Anton led the group to the house where they lived.

This house was given to Su Anton by the emperor.

It has to be said that the emperor was very generous to Su Anton. The Su residence was a five-story house with a small garden.

This house was arranged by the prince. He gave the Su family such a house considering the large population of the family.

Fortunately, the house is big enough to accommodate all the people who come. It is crowded, but it is not a problem for temporary living.

After all, they had been traveling all the way and were very tired. Old Mrs. Su and Zhou Huilan arranged accommodation for them. Everyone had lunch together and then went to rest.

The Su family lived in the first and second courtyards, along with the three generations of the Zhao family. The other three courtyards were reserved for other families. The Su family lived in the first and second courtyards for the convenience of entertaining guests.

Su Anton didn't come back until the evening. He inspected the sugar factory workshop today. The workshop has been almost completed.

Everyone in the group greeted Su Antong one after another. Seeing Su Antong was like seeing their backbone.

Everyone was waiting for Su Anton to finish his meal, so everyone gathered together and had dinner.

After dinner, Su An Dong said to everyone: "Everyone go back and rest first. I will think about it tonight and tell you about my plan tomorrow."

After everyone agreed one by one, they went back to rest.

Only the Su family was left, and they gathered together to talk.

Looking at her family members sitting together and chatting, Old Mrs. Su thought for a while, organized a meeting of the Su family, and expressed her thoughts.

As soon as they heard that there was going to be a meeting, the Su family sat together quietly, waiting for Old Lady Su to speak.

Old Madam Su sat in the main seat and said, "I'm thinking about dividing the family."

When the Su family heard that they were going to split up, they immediately became upset. Su Ankang couldn't help but say, "Mom, why are we going to split up when everything is fine?"

Su Anping also agreed, "Yes! Mom, our family has always been fine and there are no conflicts. Why do we have to split up?"

Old Madam Su pressed her hands and said, "Listen to me first."

The room returned to silence, and Mrs. Su continued, "When I say divide the family, I mean divide the property, not the household. We still live together as before, and our household registration is still in the same place. I just want to divide the money. In the future, each family can keep the money they earn for themselves, and pay a fixed amount of silver to the public every month, which is enough for the public's daily expenses. Now that the third son has become an official, he is considered to have made progress, and our family can be considered to have someone to rely on. As long as we work hard, our lives will get better and better."

"I have clearly divided the family property among the branches to avoid any disagreements in the future. For the joint ventures between the branches, you can decide how to divide the profits. Don't worry, I will try to divide the family property as fairly as possible. Of course, the eldest son is the eldest son, so he will definitely get more than the other brothers. I will leave the money for the fourth son to marry in advance, and I will also leave your youngest sister's dowry in advance. As for the marriage of your grandchildren, it depends on the abilities of each branch. The branch will naturally show some appreciation."

After saying this, Old Lady Su looked at everyone and said, "What do you think? If you have any ideas, please speak up now."

Old Mrs. Su had been thinking about the matter of property division for a long time. She already knew why the property should be divided, how it should be divided, and how to tell her family members.

When the Su family heard that the property was divided but not the household, they were relieved. To be honest, the other brothers felt a little uneasy about the separation from Su An Dong. To be frank, they were still thinking about relying on the third brother!

The Su family knew that the third branch was very capable and would definitely make more money than the other branches in the future. They could take advantage of the third branch, but they couldn't expect to share the money made by the third branch with them. They had taken advantage of the third branch for a long time, and they couldn't be greedy without a sense of proportion. If they did that, over time, it would hurt the friendship between the brothers.

It is best to divide the property but not the households. They all believe in Su Anton. If they follow the third brother and work hard, they will be right. This has already borrowed a lot of light from the third room. People should be content.

Su Anping and his wife and Su Ankang and his wife discussed the matter in a low voice for a few words and reached a conclusion in their hearts.

Su Anping spoke first: "Mom, I agree to divide the property. But you don't have to give me more, just an equal share."

Su Ankang also said: "Mom, I also agree to divide the property."

Su Anyuan was the least greedy and listened to Old Lady Su the most, so he also said, "Mom, I agree too. You can do whatever you want."

Old Madam Su nodded and said, "Then the division of the property has been settled. Before the division, I have something to say to you, so listen carefully."

When everyone saw Mrs. Su's serious attitude, they couldn't help but sit up straighter.

Old Madam Su looked at everyone and said more seriously, "I have something to tell you in advance. Although the third son is now an official and can be relied upon by our Su family, our Su family must never use the third son's official position to oppress others, nor can we do anything to oppress the people, let alone do anything illegal. If you do these things and hold the third son back, you will hold our Su family back. If anyone does that, I will kick him out of the Su family. This is our Su family's house rule."

After Mrs. Su finished speaking, she looked at everyone with a serious face.

Everyone expressed their opinions and made assurances to reassure Mrs. Su that they would definitely keep this family rule in mind.

Seeing their good attitude, Mrs. Su softened her expression. She knew the character of the Su family and they would not do such things. But people change, so it is better to make some words and warnings clear in advance.

Old Mrs. Su said earnestly: "People should look at the long term. Even for the sake of the children, we should also look at the long term. Our Su family is only slightly improving now. In front of the real wealthy families, we are just a small role that cannot be any smaller. We must do things seriously and down-to-earth now. We must educate the children in the family well, let the children study hard, learn more skills, and work hard, so that the Su family can go a long way. Do you understand?" Old Mrs. Su said this because she was afraid that some people would be short-sighted and do something bad.

Everyone understood Mrs. Su's good intentions and agreed to her request.

Next, Mrs. Su distributed the public property. One tenth of the public property was reserved for the future marriage of Su Anyuan and Su Yitong. If there was any surplus, it would be kept in the public property. As for the remaining nine tenths, Su Anping, the eldest son, would get three tenths, and the remaining six tenths would be divided between Su Ankang, Su Andong, and Su Anyuan, with two tenths each.

Everyone had no objection to this division, and the Su family's property division was thus finalized.

After the meeting, Old Mrs. Su asked everyone to go back to their rooms to rest.

Finally, the five-member time travel group got together to discuss things.

Su Anton told a few people about some of the things he had done recently.

After hearing this, Zhou Huilan said, "I will start looking for a shop to open a restaurant tomorrow. This way, I can also popularize the way to eat vermicelli to the public. This will also make it easier for your workshop to sell vermicelli in the future."

Su An Dong said happily: "That's what I was thinking. Wife, we are on the same page. I plan to open a shop for the office to sell our products, such as vermicelli, brown sugar, canned food, etc."

Several people agreed with Su Anton's idea.

Su Yuanyuan said, "Dad, I see that there are many fruit trees and flowers planted in Nanling Prefecture. Canned food can indeed extend the shelf life of fruits. Canned food can be transported and sold. In addition to this, Dad, you can also make ice and freeze fruits for transportation. Some fruits are still delicious when frozen. In the north in winter, there is really not much fruit to eat. I think canned and frozen fruits can sell well. Now that you have an official position, you can use saltpeter to make ice. Moreover, I have ice and snow in my space, I can help you."

Su An Dong said happily: "This is also a method, it can indeed be tried. Yuanyuan, I have something else to tell you. I want you to help Dad make alcohol. In this war, people will inevitably get injured, and there is nothing to disinfect here. I think that making alcohol to disinfect the wound can reduce the risk of infection of the wound."

Su Yuanyuan agreed, "Dad, no problem. Leave the alcohol production to me! I also need to get some distiller. I think there are a lot of flowers here, so I want to make some flower dew to sell."

Su Yuanyuan had previously asked Zhao Huaixi to find some beauty recipes, and this time she really planned to make one. She was thinking of opening a shop to sell soaps, floral dew, facial cream, and the like.

In addition to these, Su Yuanyuan also wants to open a beverage shop. It is summer now, and the summer here is too hot, and it is much hotter than the summer in the north.

Su Yuanyuan thought about making some cold drinks to sell while it was so hot, and switching to hot drinks in winter. She also went to the blacksmith shop to order an ice-crushing machine to make smoothies and crush frozen fruits.

Su Yuanyuan shared her ideas with her family, and her family naturally supported her.

After the discussion was almost over, the five of them took a break. They were really tired, so if there was anything else, they would talk about it next time!

Early the next morning, Su Anton gathered everyone together for breakfast.

Su An Dong said, "I have already found a school. After breakfast, all the children who want to go to school will follow me to register."

Su An Dong had found this school a long time ago. It was relatively close to Su's house and took 25 minutes to walk. The scale of the school was quite large, and Su An Dong had also inspected the teaching staff there, and they were all good in all aspects.

Several boys from the Su family had to go to school, as did Zhou Lizheng's grandson, Zhao Xuanming from the Zhao family. The other families who came with them also had three children who had to go to school.

When Su An Dong said this, the people who were going to school were like wilted eggplants. They had originally thought about going around and having fun for a few days! Now they knew clearly that no matter where they went, Su An Dong would not relax on their studies.

Su Zhicheng found Su An Dong and said, "Uncle San, can I not go to school? You see, I'm already this old, it would be ugly to go to school again."

Su An Dong called Su Zhicheng aside and said, "Zhicheng, there are many people older than you in the school. You are indeed not young in the school, but not too old. Third uncle knows that you don't want to take the imperial examination, but it is better to pass the examination and become a scholar. In this way, if there is any suitable position in the future, Third uncle can arrange it for you."

Su Zhicheng replied: "Uncle San, I know your intentions towards me. Even if I don't go to school, I will not give up my studies at home. I will continue to study and try my best to pass the exam."

Su An Dong said disapprovingly: "Studying at home will never progress as fast as having a teacher to guide you in school. Third uncle is too busy now, I'm afraid he doesn't have that much time to follow up on your studies, you still need a teacher to guide you. Third uncle knows what you are thinking, you want to not go to school, stay at home and study to help the family, but our family's current conditions do not need you to delay your studies to help. You study hard now and strive to pass the exam as a scholar as soon as possible, which is the best help to our family, do you understand?"

Su Zhicheng knew that his uncle was doing this for his own good, so he said, "Uncle, I'll listen to you. Don't worry, I will study hard, but I'm a bit stupid, not as smart as my brothers."

Su An Dong said seriously: "Zhicheng, don't belittle yourself, you are very good, no dumber than others. Don't always think that you are too old, as long as you want to learn, it is never too late, not to mention that you are still so young. Look at your third uncle, he was not in his thirties when he passed the imperial examination."

In Su Anton's heart, Su Zhicheng's age of twenty is really not that old. In modern times, it is just the age to go to college. It is the time when he should study hard and enrich himself.

Su Zhicheng scratched his head and smiled without saying anything. In Su Zhicheng's mind, Third Uncle was just motivating him. Third Uncle was such a smart man! How could he be compared with Third Uncle!

After Su Anton took the boy away for school, Zhou Huilan began to discuss opening a shop with her eldest and second sisters-in-law.

In fact, there was no need to discuss it at all. Zhao Yun and Li Hongmei were very convinced of Zhou Huilan. They both felt that as long as they listened to the third sister-in-law and worked hard behind her, they would not go wrong. They had made a lot of money by following her before!

Zhou Huilan wanted to open a clothing store with Zhao Yun this time, and she wanted to go the high-end route. She wanted to provide tailor-made and high-end customized services to wealthy families. The store didn't need to be too big, but it had to be elegant and have a certain degree of privacy to facilitate the female relatives to come to the store.

Zhao Yun's craftsmanship is beyond doubt, and Nian Qiu's craftsmanship is also very impressive. There are also many people with good skills who come with her, so there is no problem with manpower. Zhou Huilan thought that as long as the shop has certain characteristics and makes some unique features to attract customers, she believes that there will be customers.

Zhou Huilan wanted to open this shop together with Su Yuanyuan's shop selling soap and floral dew so that they could support each other.
