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

When the innkeeper came to the room to pack up the things, Liu's father said to Luo Hong and the others, "After you finish eating, you should walk around to digest the food instead of reading in the room all the time."

"it is good."

Luo Hong took a few people out for a walk in the yard of the inn.

Father Liu, Lin Weizhong and Liu Caixia closed the door and sat on the bed inside to talk. "The houses in Xiaoer's house are probably around 400 to 500 taels, more than twice as expensive as those in our county. There is one house worth more than 300 taels, with only one entrance. From what the dentist said, it is probably similar to the house of Malatang in our county. If the location is good, I think it would be more appropriate to open a Malatang shop in the capital."

"But we don't have the manpower to open a store right now. Wouldn't that be a big step?"

"Dad, several shops in the county town are already on the right track. I'm thinking that Wei Zhong and I can live in the city with Xiao Lu and Keyu. We can also buy two more people to run a shop. Regardless of whether Keyu passes the exam or not, we want to focus on training him. After all, Li Yao and the others are not our own people, and they will only be helpers in the future. We need someone to stand up on our own, and the best candidate is Keyu. Uncle Luo is indeed old. If they all pass the exam this time, I will bring them to the city. If they don't pass, they will stay in the county town. Send them to study."

"Well, everyone has selfish desires. If Ke Yu can work hard, he will become the backbone of the family in the future. Weizhong, have you talked to Ke Yu?"

"I didn't need to worry about Ke Yu's studies since he was young. He is very smart and has self-control. Uncle Luo also let him follow the schedule he had when he was studying in the village. Needless to say, I have confidence in him."

"That's good. If you all come to the capital city together, I can rest assured that you can run a store. Let's go and have a look at those houses tomorrow. If you come, you can buy a suitable one. You don't have to live in the store. You can buy a bigger house for yourself to live in. In the future, when someone from your family comes over, they will have a place to stay. People always strive for higher places. Even if we don't go to Kyoto City, it's still okay to hang out in a capital city."

"We'll go take a look tomorrow morning. We've also asked about the prices of the manors around the city, and they're indeed too expensive. The cheapest ones cost more than a thousand taels. But the young man said that the smallest manors are very large, covering five or six hundred acres. There are even larger ones covering thousands of acres. There are no smaller manors for now, so it depends on luck. Once a smaller manor is available, it's very popular."

"The farm in the county town is half the price, so let's buy one in the county town now. Our village has developed into a farm now. It covers an area of ​​more than 200 acres. But the land is not good, it's all mountains and depressions. Hehehehe"

Liu's father is engaged in agricultural development and is very happy that his family has land. He feels that land is the most real thing. As long as you work hard on it and there are no natural or man-made disasters, you will definitely have a harvest.

Unlike other businesses, there are too many unexpected events.

"That's fine. I brought over three hundred taels of silver. I'm afraid it's not enough to buy the cheapest shop. Buying a farm in the capital city is indeed a bit specific."

"Yes, I know. I estimated that if all the things your mother took out and the gold bars were exchanged for silver, I would probably get two thousand taels. Leave six hundred taels for me, and the rest is at your disposal. It should be no problem to buy a shop and a larger house."

"Let's go take a look together tomorrow. If we like everything, we can buy it on the spot. We can move in early and save on accommodation fees. Everyone will live comfortably."

The sound of a child crying interrupted their conversation.

Liu Caixia picked him up from the bed and changed his diaper. "Dad, I want to keep this child! We just went out and looked on the streets of the city, but there were no notices looking for children! If we hand this child over to the government, he will probably be sent to an orphanage. He is so young, and I really think there are too few children in our family. If we train him from a young age, his character should not be too bad in the future!"

"If you want to stay, then stay! I suggest that after you come to the capital, this child will have the same surname as Wei Zhong, Lin, and will be your child from now on! Information is not well developed at this time, and even if you say that the child is your biological child, no stranger will check it out. Unless someone is specifically investigating you."

"Many people know about this. Forget it. I don't plan to hide the child's background from him in the future. I will tell him when he grows up. As long as no one makes this matter known to the public when he is young, we will not tell anyone. I will explain it to my family when I go back. For younger children, I can just say that I gave birth to them. I don't care about these things."

Things are simple and complicated at the same time.

You can do whatever you want. Father Liu is still very open-minded. "Okay, just make up your mind. Do you have any objections, Weizhong?"

"I have no objection. I have already thought of a name for the child, Lin Keyun. Also, I think if we want to stay in the city, we should just stay here and go back after the Chinese New Year. Then we can take the child back with us and report the child's age as younger. It is too early for children to get married at this time, so reporting a half-year younger age is not a big problem."

"That's right. I can't accept them getting married and having kids at the age of sixteen."

"Let's reserve the shop and house tomorrow. It's still early. Let's feed the child some rice first. I fed him a bowl of egg custard not long after you left."

The next day, since Luo Hong and his friends were reading at home and taking care of Ke Yun, they tried not to go out. There were so many people and things to do in the city now, and it would be bad if something unexpected happened.

They also heard that some students had done many things to harm other candidates in order to have fewer people taking the exam. It was really hard to explain this kind of misfortune, and there was no place to seek justice. Even if you did seek justice, it would be useless if you couldn't take the exam.

After breakfast, Liu's father took the two of them away from the inn.

Following the street I walked yesterday, I soon arrived at the main street.

The main street was already bustling with people.

Liu's father found a bank to exchange the gold bars for silver notes. He also found a pawnshop to exchange the peach gum, bird's nest, donkey-hide gelatin, etc. for silver. The result was better than expected, and he got a total of 1,920 taels.

Father Liu calculated the silver in his hand and felt a little eager. "Caixia, let's calculate. We have more than 2,200 taels in our hand. Do you think it's enough for us to buy a farm in the capital city?"

"Dad, after buying the farm, do we need to buy another one in the county? And we need to buy a shop in the city? Besides, the farm needs a lot of manpower, and we need to hire servants. The subsequent expenses will be too much!"

Father Liu sighed, "I want our family to live together. I thought if we buy a house here, we can move here together and leave the village to Liu Hao and his family. But I don't think it's a good idea. Forget it. I just want to do it one way at a time."

"Do you want to split up the family? Give it to everyone?"
