Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

After dinner, Father Liu sent away those who were not his people. Everyone looked at him in a daze. It seemed that Father Liu had something to say again.

Yes, the mountain land behind has been reclaimed and the breeding farm will be built soon.

It's time to plan the next step.

When Father Liu saw that everyone was gathered, he went straight to the point: "I have made a plan for the mountainous area behind. This is a rough blueprint based on the allocation of the reclaimed wasteland. You can take a look first. The most important thing is to look at this piece of land!" Father Liu pointed to a small piece of land circled on the blueprint.

"This piece of land is high and sunny. I plan to use it to grow potato seedlings. Xiaolu only has four or five potatoes, which she picked up from the supermarket. I hope the seedlings will be successful. I also took out some pepper seeds from the two peppers I picked up. I picked and chose and still have some that can be used. I plan to grow seedlings at home first. If these two things are successful, it will not only be a good thing for our family, but also for the entire society. I hope to give Xiaoliu and Xiaosun full responsibility. Your most important task now is to grow seedlings."

"Okay, let's put the peppers in the room where we sleep. Now that the weather is getting warmer, it should be enough to put a few wooden basins in the room. If the temperature is not high enough, light a charcoal basin. As long as a seedling can grow, it's hope. We can keep more and more seeds."

Father Liu nodded and said, "Xiaolu, take all the potatoes and peppers to Sister Liu tomorrow morning, and check if there are any other fish that have slipped through the net."

"Okay, I don't have much left here. I'll sort it out. Oh, and there are seeds from the apples and pears I ate before, as well as grape seeds and some other fruit cores. I'll take them all out and grow them together. If they succeed, we can transplant them to the mountain. I think we should eat fruit, but there are really few fruits these days. The oranges and apples sold in the city are not very delicious. Not to mention other kinds of fruit."

"There's no rush for the fruit. When we have time, we can do some grafting. Maybe we can grow some delicious fruits. The main reason is that the initial growth cycle of fruit trees is too long. Let's start with the short-term money-making projects. Then we can slowly build the orchard and pond."

Father Liu pointed to some plots of land on the blueprint and said, "Grow sweet potatoes here and there, sprinkle some cabbage seeds over here, and cabbage, peas, coriander, and carrot seeds over here."

Luo Hong looked at the map. The plots of land on the map were clearly arranged. He sighed, "There is still too little land!"

"Yes, this is the only arrangement for now. The sweet potatoes are used to feed the pigs, and the other vegetables can be eaten by ourselves and fed to the chickens. If there is not enough grass, we have to arrange for people to go to the back mountain to cut some pig grass and wild grass."

"When we raise more pigs in the future, these sweet potatoes won't be enough. I've also told the village chief to tell the villagers that we will collect sweet potato vines and sweet potatoes, as well as radishes and cabbages. Caixia also needs them in the city, and we don't have to worry about them going bad if we collect them. The more the better, the more the better."

Liu Hao often travels between the county town and surrounding villages, so he is relatively familiar with the area. In addition to growing sweet potatoes and corn cobs, villagers also plant a season of rice in paddy fields. Not many people grow wheat here, but they also plant some on vacant mountain land. They also eat dumplings and make noodles during the New Year and other festivals.

Families who own fields basically will not leave the fields empty. Even though the yield is very low, it is better than nothing.

They can plant anything that can be planted. Now that they are given a way to make money, they will definitely be willing to plant it. Sweet potatoes have a high survival rate and a relatively high yield. Every year, they plant some and sell them for money, and everyone is very happy.

"Haozi, you should also sign a contract with the village chiefs of the three neighboring villages to collect sweet potatoes, sweet potato vines, four-season radishes and Chinese cabbages. You can also keep an eye on them by frequently visiting nearby villages to prevent them from selling these outside or to others."

"Okay, uncle. I'm very familiar with the village chiefs of several nearby villages now. Thanks to the spicy hot pot restaurant and the kimchi restaurant, the nearby villages now sell vegetables to us. We rarely go out to sell them in retail. The retail price will be a little higher, but we can't sell out every day. In the end, it's better to sell the vegetables cheaply to us. If we sign a contract, I think we can negotiate a little lower price."

"Okay, the three of you will act together later. We don't need your help in the farm anymore. In the morning, go to the back mountain to help with farming. In the afternoon, drive the horse-drawn carriage to various villages to collect vegetables. Ask about any new news. We also want to know the news outside."

"Okay." Liu Hao and the other two nodded in agreement.

Father Liu looked at Luo Hong and Lin Keyu again, thinking that they would have to take the exam in more than a month, "Lao Luo, the exam is coming soon, how are you preparing?"

Luo Hong now studies with Lin Keyu at home in the morning. In the afternoon, he takes Lin Keyu to Wanjia Enlightenment School to discuss academic matters with Wan Tongsheng. Wan Tongsheng has obtained some test papers from previous years, which he will generously share with Luo Hong.

"I'm thinking about this. Previously, I told Ke Yu not to take the exam and wait two years before taking it. But judging from Ke Yu's recent study, I plan to take him to take the exam together. He still has a chance to pass. If he passes the exam, I will take him to study in the county school in the second half of the year. We can't take the subsequent exams on our own. We still have to adapt to the local customs. After all, many of the policy essays are about current affairs. Just memorizing and studying hard is not enough. There are nine items, including poetry, table, judgment, theory, and policy. There are three sessions, each lasting three days, for a total of nine days."

"If we fail to pass the exam this time, we are still confident that we can pass the exam for a student. We will go to the academy in the town in the second half of the year and take the exam again next year. If we pass the exam, we will go to the county school. This will also prepare for the college entrance examination three years later."

"Okay, you should study but also take care of your health. I suggest you add an hour and a half to your daily exercise schedule, take a short break after lunch, and take an hour to exercise in the afternoon while studying."

"Well, I have a plan. I have to exercise my body. Otherwise, I am afraid I can't make it."

"It's good that you know. After the breeding farm is built, the things in the back mountain will be almost done. Everyone should take time to exercise every morning. Liu Hao, you should take time to make an exercise plan, half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the afternoon. And you will also have to build your own bodyguard team later. When you go to the city next time, ask Caixia, and buy some strong men back when you have money. In addition to guarding the house, they can also work on the fields."

"okay, I get it."

"Okay, that's all we have to do for now. Do you have any questions? Feel free to ask."

"Uncle, I went to the city today and brought back a packet of medicine. Huang Jun said that after the piglets are castrated, boil them into soup and mix with pig feed to feed for a day. I brought back 100 kilograms of the highest-proof liquor. The blue bricks are ready. Next time I go to the city, I will bring them back with Brother Wei Zhong and Sister Cai Xia. They will come back to visit too. They said they missed everyone. There is nothing else."

"Okay, Lao Qi, you can check the situation tomorrow. Castrate the two piglets in the next few days."

"no problem."
