Traveling Through the 1960s and Living a Life of Wealth and Prosperity

Chapter 3 Planning for the Future

After Wang Yuanchao understood the space, he returned to his body without opening his eyes.

I simply started planning for my future life.

First of all, I am definitely not staying at my uncle's house. Although I have traveled through time, I was just an ordinary ox or horse in my previous life, and I did not have much martial arts skills.

In this era, martial arts are off the charts. Let alone fighting between brothers, even if you fight outside and get caught by the police station, it is not a big deal.

I can't resist the force of my uncle's three brothers. If I continue to stay in this family, I will die sooner or later.

Through the original body's memory, although Wang's uncle raised Wang Yuanchao, he raised Wang Yuanchao completely using the methods of ancient aristocratic families to raise a family and have children.

The young Wang Yuanchao was very good at doing all the housework, including buying groceries, washing clothes, cooking, cleaning the house, etc.

From childhood to adulthood, Wang Yuanchao was either being scolded or being beaten while working. After that, he had to accept brainwashing from his uncle's family every day, forcing Wang Yuanchao to serve his uncle's family for the rest of his life.

Don't say that the grace of raising is greater than the grace of giving birth. Wang Yuanchao is a time traveler. After traveling through time, he saw that Wang Yuanchao had been tortured by the Wang family since he was a child, and the three brothers of the Wang family had beaten the original owner to death. Naturally, Wang Yuanchao had no good feelings towards his original uncle.

But in this era, it is extremely difficult to escape from this family.

In this era, the materials that people rely on for survival, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, are all regulated by tickets from all walks of life, and everyone's daily necessities are strictly rationed.

The living expenses of every city dweller were rationed according to the household ration book and were fixed, unlike the convenient and free food, clothing, housing and transportation in later generations.

Moreover, in this era, even if Wang Yuanchao wanted to travel far away, he needed a letter of introduction.

Otherwise, Wang Yuanchao would not be able to buy a train ticket or stay in a hotel. Without a household registration and ration book, it would be a small matter for him to not be able to buy any supplies.

It is also very likely that he will be treated as a spy and dealt with directly.

There is no other way. The new country has just been established not long ago. There are countless spies, bandits and anti-government personnel everywhere. Strict state control is necessary.

This resulted in Wang Yuanchao having very few ways to escape from Star City at this time.

Fortunately, Wang Yuanchao liked to read online novels in his previous life, and he especially liked period novels.

So Wang Yuanchao knew very clearly that his best option was to go to the countryside as an educated youth, and the sooner the better.

However, the news that I was going to the countryside had to be kept a secret and not let anyone know, otherwise there might be some changes in my going to the countryside.

Fortunately, Wang Yuanchao knew that the martyr certificate and household registration booklet of the original owner's parents were well hidden by the original owner.

With these materials, there will be no problem in signing up to go to the countryside.

Moreover, it was 1967 at that time, and it was not yet the time to mandate that only one person could stay in each household, and the other unemployed and unmarried children had to go to the countryside.

Although the country was vigorously calling on educated youth to go to the countryside, every staff member of the Educated Youth Office had a quota for going to the countryside.

However, at this time, there were still very few people who were willing to sign up to go to the countryside.

Apart from signing up to go to the countryside, Wang Yuanchao's first priority in planning his future tasks was to go out of the city and take back the wealth left to him by old man Wang Zaisheng.

After all, if you have money you can travel around the world, but without money you can't go anywhere. This is true even in this special era.

And there is nothing in this world safer than putting your money in your own space.

The second task is to collect as many different industrial products as possible in Star City.

Although Wang Yuanchao is short of survival supplies such as food and fruits, he has a space that can accelerate growth and has a complete ecology. Wang Yuanchao can completely ensure his future quality of life by slowly collecting seeds and saplings of various grains and gradually improving the various crops in the space.

However, it is very difficult to get all kinds of industrial products for daily use after they go to the countryside.

After all, the current country does not have the production capacity and logistics conditions of later generations.

In the era when Wang Yuanchao lived in his previous life, the economy was developed, the infrastructure construction was well-developed, and the logistics were well-developed. People could buy goods from all over the country, and even foreign products, in any rural town.

But it is not possible now. The country has just been established from a poor and blank environment, and industrialization construction is slowly starting from scratch. Moreover, the country is still developing mainly heavy industry and military industry, and the development of light industry is even more backward.

Therefore, industrial materials for domestic life were in extremely short supply at that time, and any sugar products were even more precious and scarce. Often, one could not buy industrial materials even if he had money and tickets.

After all, the country was not only poor at that time, but also had a large population. When Wang Yuanchao read online novels, he clearly knew that the country's population had reached 764 million in 1967.

The current domestic light industrial production cannot meet the needs of the people across the country. In addition, materials are now supplied to large cities first, and industrial products available in places like the countryside are extremely scarce.

Otherwise, how could people at that time live a life of three years of new, three years of old, and three years of mending?

Although the country was poor at that time, there were still many people who had cash and banknotes in their savings. Not all Chinese were stingy and unwilling to spend money.

It’s just that all kinds of industrial materials were in extremely short supply at that time. If you couldn’t buy them, you couldn’t buy them. Everyone had gotten used to it.

People of this era had all gotten better little by little from hard times.

Therefore, pots and pans, cooking utensils, cloth, cotton and other supplies were what Wang Yuanchao urgently needed.

The remaining tasks are relatively easy, which is to collect seeds of various agricultural products and livestock such as chickens, ducks, fish, cattle, sheep and pigs into one's own space, and establish the ecosystem of the space as soon as possible.
