After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Ye Qing agreed, but this was her own business, so she had to try to solve it first.

Ye Chenjing looked at his sister worriedly, feeling sad that he couldn't help her.

I secretly swore in my heart that I would study hard and pass the imperial examinations, and then no one would dare to bully my family.

Ye Qing got up early in the morning and took Ye Xi and Ye Xuan to Queran Tower first.

"Good morning, Uncle Liu. This is my eldest sister Ye Xi. We came here to visit you." Liu Ran knew Ye Xuan, so he didn't introduce him.

Ye Xi and Ye Xuan greeted Liu Ran together, and then sat on the bench with Ye Qing.

"Ye Xi also works in the workshop. I never heard that you have a sister before."

"Uncle Liu, this is my second uncle's sister. She and Ye Xuan are now managing the workshop together."

"It's true that young people are heroes. It's great that they can manage such a large workshop at such a young age." Liu Ran looked at the three young men with admiration.

Ye Xi blushed at the compliment, but she still replied calmly, "Uncle Liu, you are too kind. I also learned it bit by bit. Qing Ya taught me a lot."

Liu Ran's eyes flickered, but he didn't ask any more questions and continued talking to Ye Qing. "I heard that the young people in your village practice martial arts every day. Is that true?"

"It's true. It's for self-protection and physical exercise. My brothers run in the morning so that they can hold their bodies during the exams."

Liu Ran listened carefully. There were several children in his family, and Liu Rui was the only son.

He gives stars when he asks for stars and the moon when he asks for the moon. He has never suffered any hardship. In the future, I will still ask him to get up early and exercise so that he can have the strength to get through the exams in the next few days.

Liu Ran straightened his expression and told Ye Qing and the others what he had found out.

The leader of the Axe Gang is Zhao Da, a native of Wu'an City. He is lazy and used to be a thug.

Now he has hooked up with Mr. Qian, the lawyer in the county government office. His sister is Mr. Qian's concubine, so he regards himself as Mr. Qian's brother-in-law.

In addition, Liu Bao turned over a new leaf, so he gathered some idle people and formed the Axe Gang.

Relying on the power of Master Qian, he acted tyrannically in Wu'an City.

Ye Qing frowned. Master Qian was Lord Wu's confidant and had the final say in the county. This would be a bit difficult to deal with.

Ye Qing took the two of them and said goodbye and left. She still had to go and ask Liu Bao.

Liu Bao asked his former brothers and finally found out the inside story.

Zhao Da took the money from Mr. Shen in the city and went to trouble Ye Qing. Mr. Shen saw that the workshop was making money and wanted to open one too.

"Qingya, do you need my help? I will take my brothers to find Zhao Da. As long as Zhao Da doesn't cause trouble anymore, this matter will be over." Liu Bao wanted Ye Qing to owe him a favor.

Ye Qing knew that once Liu Bao beat Zhao Da, their workshop would be tied to him and would be controlled by him in the future.

"Brother Liu, I'll think about it when I get back. Thank you brothers for me first. Please help me find out about the Shen family."

Ye Qing brought the two of them out without saying a word, thinking about how to solve this problem perfectly.

The problem of Zhao Da was easy to solve. After solving Zhao Da's problem, Shen Fu looked for other people, but he was still in trouble.

The three of them discussed many solutions along the way, but they couldn't find the best one.

Ye Qing planned to approach the Shen family first to see if there was any news that could keep Shen Fu quiet for a while.

Ye Qing and Ye Xi brought some fresh mushrooms picked from the mountains and sold them near the Shen family, while also inquiring about the situation.

"Mushrooms, mushrooms, fresh mushrooms for sale." Ye Xi saw the old woman from the Shen family's kitchen going out and shouted loudly.

They wandered around the door for several days without talking to the Shen family.

However, I saw Shen Fu coming back with his two sons a few times. The three of them looked like father and son and looked very similar.

Ye Qing was selling vegetables a little further away, also shouting loudly. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quietly threw a stone.

"Ouch, what hit my leg?" The old woman fell to the ground in fright.

Ye Xi stepped forward, helped the old woman up, and asked with concern, "Grandma, are you okay? How did you fall?"

The old woman looked around and didn't see anyone trying to hurt her. She helped Ye Xi stand up, "Little girl, thank you for helping me up. I felt something hit my leg."

Ye Xi pretended to look around, but didn't find anything. "Mother-in-law, can you try to walk? Do you want me to take you back?"

The woman took two careful steps, but still felt a little pain. She decided not to go out with the basket and was about to go back.

Ye Xi cleverly helped her walk to the back door, "Mother-in-law, I'll take you back. It's better to find someone to take a look."

The woman was very grateful to Ye Xi, "Good child, you are a kind girl at first glance. Your mushrooms are still there, are you relieved?"

"It's okay, mother-in-law. This place is not far from your place. I'll be back soon. It's okay."

The old woman liked this sweet-talking girl very much. This girl was the only good one who knew how to help the old woman.

"Little girl, you call me Grandma Sun. You are about the same age as my granddaughter."

Ye Xi sent Mrs. Sun to the door and was about to go back.

Granny Sun called Ye Xi and said, "Little girl, please bring all the mushrooms over here. I've bought them all."

"Really? Thank you, Grandma Sun. This way I can go back earlier."

Ye Xi ran back swiftly, sold all the mushrooms she brought to the Shen family, and left happily.

This was the first step of Ye Qing and Ye Xi's plan. They couldn't contact the head of the Shen family, so they could only start with the servants.

The next day, Ye Xi brought other vegetables from the garden to sell, and also brought elm leaves from the mountain to Grandma Sun as a thank you.

The relationship between the two sides is getting better and better, and they can still chat for a while when they meet.

During this period, the people from the Axe Gang did not go to Kaoshan Village to cause trouble, but when Liu Bao was selling vermicelli in the city, there were always people looking for trouble.

Some shops that have placed orders for vermicelli are also looking for various reasons to cancel the orders.

The vermicelli business in Wu'an City has basically disappeared. The only thing left is that Uncle Sun buys the goods and sells them in various villages.

Fortunately, the supply from Yangcheng and Fucheng is normal, and the goods from Yangcheng are brought over by the village caravan.

The village caravans are used to running around in winter. Although there is no charcoal now, they can buy specialties from Wu'an City and resell them back and forth.

Ye Qing sold his vermicelli and sweet potato chips to the caravans in the village, who then took them to Yangcheng to sell. For some old businesses, he paid the village for the freight and brought them over.

For the business in the provincial capital, Ye Qing found a caravan and paid someone to deliver the goods there. Although this was convenient, it had a drawback: it could not develop new customers.

Ye Qing also wanted to deliver it himself, but there was a shortage of staff in the workshop and no one could go.

Ye Qing's workshop was almost completed. The beams had been put up and all that was left was to dig the cellar and lay the floor.

Ye Qing also had the roads in front of and behind the door repaved with stones so that they wouldn't be muddy even if it rained heavily.

Ye Qing and Ye Xi went into the city in the morning to inquire about the situation, and came back in the afternoon to deal with matters in the workshop.
