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

"Okay, okay, we're getting off topic! We don't have ketchup, but we can make fried chicken and French fries. You're such a good kid. I was just wondering what to do with all those chicks when they grow up. How can we sell them quickly? Fried chicken is a great business. Chickens that are ready for sale at about three months old must taste great when fried. Although we don't have ketchup, we can serve soy milk or some other drinks. We can open a new store or set up a counter in the original shop."

Father Liu felt helpless as he saw that everyone was talking about something else, but he was inspired and felt that this fried chicken business could be done.

"We just need to think about the long-term plan. There's a lot of time to come."

"Yes! Yes!" Everyone else echoed.

Although they are living together now, if it was in the past, they would have been unaccustomed to so many people being together. But after coming here, no one felt too safe, and after going through so much on the road, they have gotten used to it now.

Neither of them is in a hurry to live alone right away.

"Alright, alright, I'm just going to talk about my future plans. I definitely hope that everyone can live together in the future. In this feudal dynasty, it is very important to stick together for warmth. Right now, the most important thing for us is the exams to come. Lao Luo, how did you guys do in the exams? Are you confident?"

Luo Hong looked at Lin Keyu. Li Yao and Wei Songbai were not qualified to attend their internal meeting.

"I really don't know how Ke Yu did in the exam, but Li Yao and Wei Songbai should have done well. As for me, hehe, I actually feel pretty good. It all depends on the examiner."

"I'm not asking how the exam went this time. I'm asking about the upcoming provincial exam."

"Ah!" Luo Hong didn't expect that Liu's father and the others were so confident, as if they could pass the previous exams and were just waiting to take the provincial exam later.

"I don't know about the future exams, right? I haven't taken any, but I've been looking at some of the past exam questions and writing some essays. Wan Tongsheng showed my essays to his county school teacher and gave some comments. I can only wait and see what the questions are and what the examiners like. There are so many people taking the exam, and each examiner has different preferences. I'm not sure if I can pass. I can only do my best."

"Okay, I'm just asking. I don't want to put too much pressure on you. If you can pass the exam, that would be great. If you can't, we can just keep a low profile and live in the county town!"

Father Liu patted Luo Hong's shoulder and comforted him: "You are old now, and your body can't bear it. Just teach the children well. I think these children at home are all good."

"Yes, Wei Songbai and Li Yao are really good. Ke Yu is also smart, but he needs to relearn the Four Books and Five Classics and work harder. Arithmetic and poetry should not be a big problem. Whether we can pass the exam this time will not have a big impact on us. Even if we pass, our chances of passing the college entrance examination later will not be great. After all, the amount of reading is there, and it is not something that smart people can do by working hard for a short period of time."

Luo Hong sighed. At that time, they were really studying hard. Their modern learning was more diversified, but there was not so much rote memorization.

No matter what, studying hard will not lead to success overnight.

"It's okay. This trip to the city is just a test run for everyone. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out. Anyway, our foundation is still very weak. It's also good to accumulate for a few years. When the time comes, Liu Hao and I will send you to the city. Then my old woman Qi Xin will come with us to cook. Go ten days in advance, and it will only take about twenty days in total. Then we can rent a yard for a month. In addition to your exams, we are also going to check out the place. People strive for higher places, and we don't have to stay in this place forever. We must find a better living environment."

"I inquired and found out that the prefecture city where we are is not the prefecture capital of Zhongzhou. The Qingyun Prefecture where the Qingwang Mansion of Zhongzhou is located is the core prefecture. The Qingwang is basically the top leader of Zhongzhou. Except for paying 30% tax to the court every year and not having more than 10,000 private soldiers, everything else is basically decided by the Qingwang. The Qingwang is also a relatively benevolent prince, and he is good to the people in the fiefdom. There are no heavy taxes.

The prefect of Qingyun Prefecture is a fifth-rank official. Although he is still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, he still has to discuss many matters with Prince Qing. As far as the current situation is concerned, if we want to settle here for a long time, we don’t have to go to the political center of the former capital. It’s good to stay in Qingyun Prefecture. This is the end of our generation. As for future generations, it depends on their luck. We can only try our best to lay a solid foundation for them. No matter how much more we do, we are powerless. ”

Luo Hong's analysis was basically recognized by everyone. Their roots were not deep, and it was already very good that they could develop their power to Zhongzhou Prefecture in their lifetime.

As for the imperial examination, Luo Hong is currently making plans, while Liu's father is still in charge of family affairs. So everyone listens to Luo Hong.

"As for the exam, although I have done some research, I am old after all, and my memory is definitely not as good as that of young people. I can still take advantage of some things, such as poetry and songs. Even if I want to memorize more of the sutras, I am afraid that I am not strong enough. If I can pass the exam and become a scholar by chance, I will be very lucky. So I will focus more of my energy on supervising and educating the next generation. This time when I went to the city, in addition to preparing for the next exam, I also started to understand the future study matters.

Later, we will add the law, the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic, and the current policy questions. Arithmetic will not be a big problem at that time, but the law and current policy questions also need to be learned from the beginning. Eight-part essays are not so easy to write. The policy questions are also very subjective. It doesn’t mean that if you write well, it will be good. It also depends on whether it suits the taste of the examiner, or whether it suits the taste of the court. "

Father Liu quickly comforted him, "Okay, okay, Lao Luo, take your time with the rest of the plan. I know you've worked hard, and we didn't force you to pass the exam. It would be best if you can pass, but it doesn't matter if you can't. You won't have to worry about food and drink."

"Of course I try my best to get admitted. Apart from anything else, I still have a little grandson. I have to consider him. He is really too young. When he grows up, we old bones may not have much time left."

Luo Hong's only grandson, he hopes to give him as much protection as possible. Even if he passes the exam to become a scholar, it is better than nothing. Therefore, he will definitely try his best to take the exam.

"Junning is a good kid and very smart. If you train him well, he will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Others encouraged and comforted each other...

They are indeed living a pretty good life now!
