"Brother Wu, you can live in your house after two days of drying. I'll let Uncle Ming'er help you to check it out. Pick a good day to move in..."

While eating dumplings, Lin Laogen said that the villagers are superstitious, and they have to choose a day to start a happy event.

"Brother Zhou and I don't understand these things. Uncle, you can help me with it. There is something I want to discuss with you, Uncle Lin."

Wu Qingyuan didn't believe this, but he followed the local customs and nodded while eating dumplings.

Brother Lin Amo, Brother Zhou and several children also ate with big mouthfuls, listening to the conversation of the two 'elders', and then the two teenagers took time to put dumplings for Lin Laogen and Wu Qingyuan respectively. The atmosphere on the table was warm and welcoming. lively.

"What to talk about, if you have something to say, just say it."

Lin Laogen was happy, and he was basically responsive to discussing matters with him at this time.

Wu Qingyuan was not pretentious. While eating dumplings, he slowly said that he wanted to build a charcoal kiln and burn charcoal to make money.

When he was repairing houses before, he had this idea when he heard the people in the village talking about carbon, but during this period of time, the matter of settlement and repairing was busy, and he never had a chance to say it.

The amount of gold he brought from modern times is enough for him to live a lifetime, but it is not his character to rely on savings like this. No matter if you have money or not, you have to find something to do. Money is not too much for anyone.

He did have some ideas about his future life plan. He had been engaged in employment and business for so long in the previous life, and after the apocalypse, he had intrigued with others in the base. He had long been tired of that complicated life, and now he wanted to live a peaceful life.

He has also carefully observed the life in this world these days. After pondering for a few days, he found that the villagers here are really poor.

Although they can't starve to death, the distribution of asset classes is very uneven. Each family has not many assets of its own. Take the farmland they depend on for a living. Most families only buy a few acres by themselves, and the rest They are all rented fields from landowners and other families, and a large amount of silver or grain is handed over as rent every year.

This phenomenon has led to the fact that wealthy employees can get richer and richer by sitting or not working, while poor families can only struggle with food and clothing. Differentiation is obvious.

Although Wu Qingyuan is a little sympathetic, this is a social phenomenon in such an era, and it cannot be changed overnight.

He naturally didn't want himself and his future descendants to work hard to shave food in the soil, so he planned to buy some land slowly in the future and become a rent collector.

Then, like other members, he will open some grain stores, restaurants, etc. in the town or county. If the descendants are successful in the future, then there is no need to worry for several generations. His wood-type ability is also very suitable for this. development.

But these things can't be done in a short time. Now that there is another opportunity to make money, there is no reason for him to give up.

After hearing about this ancient world from Old Man Zhou, he had some ideas and downloaded a lot of information on the Internet. Regardless of whether he thought it was useful at the time, he used the advanced knowledge of thousands of years to settle down in ancient times. Treasures, all the printed materials are stuffed into the space, and a few sheets of paper do not take up space anyway.

As old man Zhou was here at the beginning, he had limited exposure to things, so most of what he told him was about the life of the common people here, how it was difficult to live, not enough to eat and not warm, and so on, making him think that this place was almost backward. It's almost a primitive world, so the most information he prepares is about basic necessities of life, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

He has a good memory, and there is a lot of information. Although he can't write down all of them, he has a general impression of what he has prepared in his mind.

He remembered that there were some methods of burning charcoal in the material he downloaded.

In the past few days, he has inquired about people without trace. In fact, people here can burn carbon, but if you want to burn it well, it is a craft. The quality of carbon burned by ordinary villagers is very poor. It is said that there is a particularly large amount of smoke when using it, and it is so smoked that it cannot be used indoors at all.

So in winter, in order to survive the winter, the villagers can only spend money to buy good carbon, even if they are ten cents a pound, they have to bite their teeth to buy it, otherwise they will not be able to survive the whole winter.

Therefore, such a large amount of demand has led to huge profits from selling carbon here. Anyone who can burn charcoal will make a fortune. Of course, it is only a small fortune, because the business of burning charcoal for hundreds of miles is completely outside the company. Mastering the monopoly, ordinary people can't shake the foundation of making money outside these employees, and can only drink some broth.

"Brother Wu, don't blame Uncle for being so talkative. Burning charcoal is a skill. Before that, the Chen family man in our village was a charcoal burner. He burned his own house and sold some to the villagers to make a lot of money, but the Chen family could make a lot of money. The man has a big heart, and went bankrupt to build a carbon kiln, ready to do a big business, but it is not so simple to use a kiln to burn. The carbon in the whole kiln will make a lot of money, but if you accidentally burn it, you will have to die. , The Chen family was originally the richest in our village, but now it has become the poorest in our village. All the fields and houses are gone, and the family relies on the town to help workers to live..."

After hearing Wu Qingyuan's idea of ​​burning charcoal to make money, Lin Laogen was a little worried and disapproved.

If Wu Qingyuan really knew how to burn charcoal, then it would be a good business for him to burn some himself and sell it every year, but Wu Qingyuan wanted to build a kiln to burn charcoal, which would be too risky. Hundreds of thousands of kilograms of wood have to be used for burning. If this is not done well, the loss will be huge.

Lin Laogen was worried about Wu Qingyuan, and Lin Amo and Zhou Ge'er also looked at him. The two teenagers didn't understand these business matters, but they knew about the Chen family's loss of money by burning carbon in the village, and they were more worried. To repair the kiln and burn carbon, before making money, a large amount of money must be invested in the early stage.

"Brother Wu, don't you know how to heal? You can make money by seeing a doctor in our village or town, and you have a reputation..."

Lin Laogen helped him think of something. Before, Geer Zhou and the promise to treat Lin Amo's face made him mistakenly think that Wu Qingyuan would cure the disease. Since such a good craftsmanship, how can he do business? Being a doctor can be compared to being a businessman. Respect, the lowest social status is the businessman.

"Uncle Lin, I know a thing or two about medical skills. I'm not skilled enough to be a doctor. I have considered the pros and cons of burning charcoal. I want to try it."

His own powers do have therapeutic effects, but the scope is limited. It’s okay to treat some traumatic poisonings, but it’s not enough for people to see a doctor. It's easy to get into a life lawsuit.

As for the pros and cons of burning carbon, Wu Qingyuan has long considered it, and he is also prepared to lose money.

But on the whole, he is still very confident. He also heard about the Chen family that Lin Laogen said when he inquired. He carefully analyzed the information provided by the villagers. Working in a charcoal kiln is to learn the craft of burning charcoal first-hand. The reason why I go home and start a business and lose money is because I don’t have enough capital in the final analysis.

In addition to technology, the most important thing in charcoal burning is the wood used for burning charcoal. The quality of the charcoal produced from good wood is good. The poor charcoal burned by the villagers is because the wood is not right, and the failure of the Chen family to burn charcoal is precisely because of this. , After repairing the kiln, there is no capital to buy good wood, and the carbon produced is naturally not good, so it is not surprising to lose money.

This is the difficulty and sadness of starting a business with no money, but he is different. He has enough money to do this business, and even if he really loses in the end, it will not cause him a fatal blow. At most, he loses a few hundred taels. Just silver.

"Okay, since you are so sure, then Uncle will not stop you, but you do spend too much time building the kiln yourself, and it is a waste of time. The two carbon kilns built by the Chen family are still there, and they have been empty and useless. , I'll take it to discuss with the Chen family man, and let his family sell you the ready-made kiln, if you do well, you can make money this winter."

Seeing that Wu Qingyuan didn't plan to change his mind, Lin Laogen didn't persuade him any more though he was worried. He stopped trying to persuade and tried to help.

Looking at Wu Qingyuan's appearance, he is also assertive, and things that have been decided will not change. If the other party really has the confidence to make things happen, that's a good thing.

"Thank you Uncle Lin, I'm really bothering you..."

Wu Qingyuan smiled and nodded. He was so lucky to have met someone like Lin Laogen who was so enthusiastic and always worried about others. If it was someone else, who would have so much free time to help an irrelevant person run east. run west.

Although Lin Laogen has been helping him, a large part of the reason is because he promised to give Lin Amage face, but it is not that he has no sincerity at all. Every time he has something, Lin Laogen will help him with all his heart. He thought of a way to take care of him like his junior.

"No, no, anyway, our village is close to the town, we'll just go to town tomorrow..."

Lin Laogen was very impressed with Wu Qingyuan's polite and refined attitude. His old face bloomed with a smile, and he even said that you were welcome. After the Chen family's charcoal-burning business failed, the whole family went to the town to help people work and live. They had to Take a run around town.

"Dad, you don't have to go to town, just go to Zhang's house tomorrow."

After listening for a long time, the talkative Lin Amo finally found a chance to interject. He looked at Brother Zhou, raised his head and said something.
