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

Liu Caixia touched here and looked there. Overall, the house looked old, but not damaged.

The house is basically empty, without any furniture. It is said that the house has been on the market for quite some time, but has never been rented out or sold.

The main reason is that the layout of this two-courtyard structure is indeed not a regular large two-courtyard structure, and the corridors and east and west wing rooms at the back are probably added on.

The yard seemed very crowded. Rich families looked down on it and were unwilling to live there, while those without money could not afford it.

The servant also honestly said that this house was previously rented out to families of students who came to the city to study. Families have some money to afford renting a house for their children's education, but cannot afford to buy a house. This house is very suitable. You can live there yourself or share it with classmates.

You can rent a room for yourself, instead of living in a four- or six-person room in the academy, which is inconvenient when you want to read at night.

When there are more people, there are always more gossips!

There is no place like the convenience and freedom of having your own room!

"Dad, look here there is a ditch. I wonder if we can make a toilet out of it."

"The toilet is definitely not OK, but the bathroom is OK. The shit and urine in the toilet are too smelly, and if they can't be drained out, the city will stink. This ditch is for bath water and other domestic water. People nowadays don't have much oil and water, so the sewage in the kitchen doesn't have much oil and dirt, so the water discharged is still not that smelly."

"Yes, the most important thing is that there is an academy nearby, and the scholars in the academy are most particular about these things. If we are discovered and it is found that it was discharged from our house, we will be extremely embarrassed."

"I'm really not used to getting up every morning to pour out the night incense!"

"We just don't have enough money. If we could afford a large house with two entrances and a small piece of land, we could dig a hut and the servants would use it to fertilize the vegetables and flowers."

"Ah... there is also this matter!"

"Even if they don't use it for fertilizer, the servants can transport it outside the city. Those with houses can also send it directly to nearby villages. The night fragrance in the city is also used as waste by the villages. They just need to transport it out of the city and dump it in a unified place, and naturally someone will use it. This is a good thing, and everyone is scrambling for it."

"Dad, how do you know?"

"How could I not know? People in our village said so. Does your father just eat for free in the village?"

"Yes, yes, Dad, you are awesome."

(I made these up!)

"The location of this house is really good!" Lin Weizhong exclaimed in the back.

The house is located on the east side of North Street. The street behind is Nanshanfu Academy, and the street in front is Qingshan Academy. These are the two largest academies in the city. This street is full of residential houses.

There is a vertical street next to the main street that is full of shops. Their shop is at the end of the street. The location of the shop is not very good, so the prices are cheap. The most important thing is that there is a backyard behind the shop and a well.

It really has the same layout as a spicy hot pot shop.

The starting point of the street is at the junction of North Street and East Street. Don't even think about the shops there. Most of them are big restaurants, big inns, or big businesses.

Slowly extending to the back are some small shops. As it is close to the academy, there are especially many food shops here.

Then there are two larger bookstores.

The streets are very busy, with some craftsmen selling candied haws, people selling wild fruits on their shoulders, people selling sweet water, and so on.

On the day when the academy is closed, there will be a market on the street, which is also allowed by the government.

The first and fifteenth day of every month.

Students from the academy who live far away can go home, and students from the city can also go out for a stroll openly during the day.

You have to know that even if these students don't live in the college, they usually go out early and come back late.

Except skipping classes of course!

Before the government office, stalls were not allowed to be set up. The market was also set up on West Street and East Street, and was held on the 15th of every month.

Later, after the academy changed its closing time to the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the number of people on this street increased spontaneously. Many vendors came to set up stalls. The government did not allow fixed stalls, so these people set up stalls on the move, carrying loads and carrying things like candied haws. When people from the government came, they would leave, and when they didn't come, they would still walk around and hawk their wares.

Finally, the government simply scheduled markets for this area on the first and fifteenth days of every month, and marked out some temporary stalls on the streets to prevent hawkers and shoppers from walking around, as the heavy flow of people would easily lead to stampedes.

As a result, the street became more popular, and the shops along the street also saw a surge in business. In fact, except for the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, the business on this street also improved.

As long as you arrive early and occupy the temporary stall for that day, it is yours, and the government will collect the stall fee for the day. The government can also have an extra income, and this street has developed in this way.

Their shop is the third from the end of the street.

The location is not very good, but there is nothing they can do about it. It is the best choice they can make.

The three of them also bought it without hesitation. The servant said that the shops on this street would be sold out within three days of listing. The price was reduced by ten taels at the time, which was a reluctant discount considering that they had bought another house.

Money makes money! If you lose money, you can earn it again. If you miss this shop, you may not be able to find another suitable one!

Although I am very satisfied with the house, there are still many places that need repair.

"First, find someone to repair the roof and walls, and then order some furniture before we can move in. We also need to buy kitchen supplies."

"These are not a big deal, as long as you have money."

“So, you need money.”

"The house can be finished in a few days, but you need to think about the shop. Should we finish it together, or what?"

Liu Caixia answered without thinking, she really felt that making money was urgent, "Of course we will repair it together, I want to take advantage of this exam to open the store. We will not go back to the county town, as for the children, if they all pass the exam, I will let them stay with us. I will find a way to send them to these two academies to study."

Father Liu actually thought this was a good idea. "I just don't know the admission requirements for the academies here. You can't just pass the exam to be a scholar. There are so many people in the entire city, there should be thousands of scholars, if not 10,000. I estimate that each of these two academies can only accept about 1,500 people at most. These people don't include all the scholars. There should also be enlightenment classes and tongsheng classes. You also need connections to get in."

"Or maybe he has money. Ask someone to find out. There are more than just these two academies in the city. If all else fails, other academies will do. The worst that can happen is that you can go back to the county town to find an academy. You won't have to worry about having nowhere to go."
