    Early the next morning, the children each ate a large bowl of thick multigrain porridge, as well as a pancake and an egg.

    Luo Zining explained to Zhao Xiaoyu that these children should be supplemented with nutrition, and they will be required to take care of the home in the future so that they can grow stronger. Zhao Xiaoyu cooked eggs for them in the morning, and saw that the egg basket was empty, and applied to Luo Zining to buy some chickens to raise, otherwise there would always be not enough eggs at home.

    Luo Zining asked Chen Er to go out with her to buy a cow, or a sheep that can produce milk. From now on, the whole family will drink a bowl of milk in the morning.

    After breakfast, Luo Zining pushed Huo Lingzhi to the yard. The children were already waiting in line. They didn't know what they were going to face, but no matter what they were facing, they were better than before.

    Huo Lingzhi looked at the group of skinny children and re-lined them up, asking them to learn to stand up straight and aligned.

    Luo Zining felt that he had seen his military training in elementary school. It was terrible. He was about to turn around and leave when he heard Uncle Chen coming to talk to Boss Cheng about the brick factory.

    Luo Zining thought that Uncle Chen had to pay for the brick factory, so he asked Uncle Chen to follow him to have a look.

    Boss Cheng said that the boss of the brick factory needs to talk to Luo Zining in person, otherwise he won’t be at ease, but he has already negotiated the price.Three hundred texts.

    Uncle Chen: "It's so cheap."

    Boss Cheng: "It's more expensive..."

    The two said it almost in unison, and then they looked at each other, showing expressions of not understanding each other.

    Luo Zining: "..."

    Luo Zining stood between the two of them, letting Boss Cheng continue.

    Boss Cheng said: "They work as coolies outside, and each earns ten Wen per day, so if you want them to stay, you have to pay them three hundred Wen a month.You can only earn ten pennies by doing coolies. Now it’s not worthwhile to let them work in your own home and give them ten pennies. If you want me to say that you can lower their wages with them, three or five pennies a day is enough. If they don’t want to,Just tell them that you don’t need them, just buy a brick factory, and there are plenty of people doing the work that pays Sanwen a day in this city.”

    "You are really a born capitalist." Luo Zining shook his head: "It's only ten pennies, they have crafts, and what the city lacks most is craftsmen.They will hold their breath, not do a good job, or quit and leave.”

    Luo Zining looked at the dilapidated streets outside the car. This city is too poor and needs people too much to develop. At this time, he must not force people away just to save a few pennies.

    After about half an hour, they arrived at the brick factory.

    Although the brick factory is small, it is much better than he imagined. Although it has not been in operation for many years, the owner of the brick factory still lives here and will clean it frequently.

    When Luo Zining got out of the car, he saw more than thirty young men and an old man waiting for him at the door.

    Luo Zining originally thought there were only five or six people, but he didn't expect that there were more than thirty people. He was overjoyed, "It's cold outside, let's go in and talk."

    Before Luo Zining came, the family was still beating their hearts. They heard that a prince had come to the city, but no one had seen it. Now they heard that the prince wanted to buy a brick factory and negotiated the price with them. They were afraid in their hearts.

    The old man was afraid that the prince didn't want to spend money to buy it, but that he couldn't think of money to occupy their ancestral property and let their family members do white labor.

    In the past, the magistrate used bricks to take them directly, never gave money, and always asked their family members to help with white labor.

    The people in their family couldn't survive in the city, so they went out to do coolies.

    Now that a prince is here, don't know if he will do more than the magistrate, so when Boss Cheng came to talk about this matter, the old man wanted the children to run away overnight.

    But those young people heard Boss Cheng say that Wang Hao is a very nice person, unlike the magistrate, he would definitely give money if he wanted to, and he also said that he would help them negotiate the price with Wang Hao.

    They earn 300 Wen a month outside, and that's not counting food and drink. If they can earn this money at home, who would want to leave their hometown.

    Luo Zining followed them into the house. The house was a bit small, but it had a heated kang and a fluted wall. When Luo Zining saw the heated kang, he was moved and asked them: "Do you know how to make a fluted wall and a heated kang? Can you build a house?"?”

    "Yes." The old man nodded.

    The whole family was very cautious, and after the old man finished speaking, he felt a little regretful, thinking of the days when the magistrate asked them to do white jobs, he should say no.

    Luo Zining was even more satisfied, "Uncle Chen paid them, the former contract."

    Uncle Chen took out the money from his pocket and put it on the table. Seeing the white money on the table, the old man's family didn't expect him to be able to withdraw the money so quickly.

    Luo Zining saw that they didn't take the money for a long time: "What's wrong? Could it be regret?"

    "No, I have no regrets." The old man happily went to take the money, his hands were shaking, but he put down the money after getting half of it, "I'm afraid that the prefect will snatch the money before it's warmed up......"

    "This brick factory will belong to the Wangfu in the future, and you are also a worker of our Wangfu. With the support of the Wangfu, why are you afraid of the magistrate? A magistrate dares to fight against the Wangfu?" Luo Zining asked him to take the money with peace of mind.
