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

Father Liu took Liu Caixia and Liu Xiaolu to put down what they were doing and prepared to go back to the house as there were some things they needed to discuss with Luo Hong.

"Dad, we have decided to develop in the capital city in the future, so we should buy some property as soon as possible. Now is a more appropriate time to buy. There are still many people selling now. As time goes by, as the court stabilizes and people's lives get better, it will become more difficult to buy these things."

"Yes, I did have this plan. I discussed it with everyone when I was in the village. This time, I also asked Xiaolu to put all the remaining money in the house. The pigs in the village were sold once, and the rabbits were also sold once before we left. In addition, the shops in the city were profitable, so I kept 100 taels of reserve funds. I took all the rest, which is 2,200 taels. I guess I can only buy a smaller farm. I also need to save some money to go to the provincial capital. I will spend money along the way, and I will need money to rent a house and live after I arrive."

"I can take out 200 taels. The two shops are now making 35 to 40 taels of profit every day. I was planning to hire two more people to help out. I'll increase the amount of braised meat and keep the shops open for a longer period of time, so the income should increase a bit."

"Let's go and have a look tomorrow. Now go back and discuss with Luo Hong to confirm the departure time and estimate the approximate cost. For the rest, ask the trafficker about the situation tomorrow and then make the final decision."

The three of them returned to the house, and Luo Hongzheng and Lin Keyu were reading books.

Seeing Father Liu coming over, Luo Hong put down the book in his hand and said, "Ke Yu, let's take a break too!"

"Grandpa Wang!"

"Okay, don't be discouraged if you didn't pass the exam this time, Ke Yu, you are still young!"

Luo Hong said with a smile, "He is not discouraged or sad at all. He can eat and sleep well."

"Hey, Grandpa Luo, I just have a good attitude. Didn't you also say that attitude determines everything?"

"Yes, yes, you remember this. I won't be able to remember other articles when I teach you."

"Oh, this classical Chinese is really difficult. I'm much better now. I can roughly understand the meaning of many articles after reading them once. What if I was still confused after reading them several times before?"

"Okay, learning is a persistent thing. You can't learn everything in one or two days. Let's talk business. When do you decide to leave?"

"I have met many of my neighbors recently. One of them is a scholar who is also going to take the provincial examination. He has been a scholar for many years and has taken the provincial examination once, but failed. In the meantime, there was a drought and a war, so the examination that was supposed to be held was delayed.

This time I decided to go to the prefecture with him. Now there is only one carriage at home, which is definitely not enough. We will find a caravan, just like we went from the county to the prefecture. Pay money to take the caravan's carriage to the prefecture. But the fee is higher. I thought that I would go with Li Yao and Wei Songbai at that time. "

"It's OK to have a companion. You don't have to worry about the carriage. Just go to the pawnshop tomorrow to buy one. I'll go with you then. I'll also go to the state capital to check out the situation. I went back to the county this time and discussed with everyone. I will definitely stay in a big city in the future. Because the situation in the state capital is still unclear, I will temporarily settle in the prefecture city. However, I still want to go to the state capital to take a look. It would be best if I could settle down in the state capital in the future. I won't even talk about developing into a big family like Qingshan Commercial Bank.

It is enough for us to have a place in Zhongzhou. We were a little too ambitious before. Those big families have gone through the baptism of time, and it took them many years to develop to their current size. It is really not feasible for us to develop in 30 or 50 years. In addition, there are institutional restrictions, unlike when we just started reform and opening up. "

Luo Hong nodded. "Yes, although I don't know much about business, I also had such doubts when we discussed it together before. But it's hard to say it too seriously. Everyone went through so many things at that time. I was afraid that everyone would lose confidence. Now it's good. Everyone has food and drink."

"It's okay now. We're just doing small things right now. I'm just afraid that if something happens, I might offend someone I can't afford to offend."

"This is not something that can be solved in a short time. Do you think you can just find a big guy to back you up? We have been lucky along the way, at least we are all alive and well now. Am I not working hard? It is better to rely on yourself than on anyone else. Are you afraid that you won't be able to find a backer in the future?"

"You're right. Okay, I'll go buy a carriage tomorrow. We'll go with the scholar you know to find the caravan. We'll have someone to take care of us along the way, and maybe we'll get to know some more people along the way."

"I think so too. We can't do everything on our own. We still need to interact with people at this time. Network, network, people have connections."

"Tomorrow we are going to see the farm outside the city. Do you want to come with us? We can also see a carriage."

"Do you have enough money at home? The manors in the capital are not cheap. I've also looked into it. The inferior ones are 1,000 or 2,000 yuan, while the better ones are 4,000 or 5,000 yuan."

"I can't afford the good ones, so I'll buy an average one first. Let's build up the business in the city first. There will be enough seeds of potatoes and peppers in the county next year for large-scale planting. There are farms in the city that grow some, and they're raising some pigs and rabbits, and we're also going to open a spicy hot pot shop. It's still necessary to be self-sufficient in raw materials."

"Okay, then I'll go with you guys tomorrow morning! Ke Yu will go too!"

"Good!"

Lin Keyu and Liu Xiaolu were mumbling something to each other. When Luo Hong called his name, he probably didn't hear the question clearly, so he answered it directly.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time and had a lot to talk about in private.

Their age is equivalent to middle school students in modern times. Middle school boys and girls are not that mature, although they are also quite precocious. However, due to family relationships, the two of them have no idea about premature love.

"You mean my dad, oh, will my dad and your mom have another child in the future?"

Liu Xiaolu rolled her eyes and complained, "You ask me, how should I know? Besides, my mother's age used to be considered an advanced maternal age. Many people here are grandmothers or great-grandmothers. I don't think my mother will be able to give birth anymore."

"But if a remarried family doesn't have a child, I've heard many adults say that such a family won't last long?"

"You're overthinking it. We're just living together." As a girl, Liu Xiaolu is more thoughtful and has more ideas.

"They are just living together, so why do they have to become husband and wife?"
