Farming and reading family

She did not confront Hua Jianxing head-on. It can be said that Gao E did not care when Hua Jianxing was stirring up trouble in He County, but he should not have set his sights on Gao E.

Given Hua Jianxing's appetite, if he succeeds in taking over the Hamagou Brick and Tile Kiln, he might want more than just Hamagou.

She did not rush back to Baotou Village. Jin Ruyi told her about the situation of the tenants in Luoyun Village, and she almost understood it all.

"You're not planning to build a house for them too, are you?" Jin Ruyi felt that Gao E was too generous in these matters.

"The collective village of Baotou Village will be disbanded after the autumn harvest, and the long-term workers for the kiln have not been decided yet. When the time comes, the strong laborers from Luoyun Village will be willing to work as long-term workers and only need to pay for the rent of the kiln and firewood." Gao E has already thought it through.

This would save them a lot of money, and Gao E wouldn't have to put any more money into it.

Jin Ruyi was worried: "But it's definitely not possible to build a house this winter."

Gao E nodded: "It will take some time, I'll think about it slowly."

Around noon, Lu Hao came back and said that Hua Jianxing had left the city.

"But he didn't bring the beautiful woman next to him." Lu Hao was a little surprised.

Gao E and Jin Ruyi looked at each other: Escape.

Everyone felt that Hua Jianxing would not leave as long as that woman was there.

Lu Haokan looked at Sister Gao without saying anything and asked with a shameless face, "I'm stupid. I really can't figure out why that guy surnamed Hua would leave the city."

"He didn't leave the city, he ran away." Jin Ruyi said directly.

Lu Hao was even more puzzled: "Escape, why did he run away?"

"Why don't you believe that Hua Jianxing will escape?" Gao E looked at Lu Hao.

Lu Hao thought about it seriously: "Not really, right?"

"As soon as he arrived in He County, he lived in the most expensive Yue Garden. He wore gorgeous clothes and had beautiful maids around him. He was generous and always entertained guests in Yue Garden. He was also a fellow villager of Lord He. The richest man Chen was always polite when he saw him." Gao E analyzed one by one.

"Yes." Lu Hao nodded. "He is so rich, how could he escape?"

"He might really be rich." Gao E didn't refute. "He wouldn't do business at a loss."

"What kind of business is he doing?" Lu Hao felt that Huajianxing had not bought any land.

"He gives advice to foreign gentry and seeks benefits from it. If his plan fails and those foreign gentry suffer losses, he will become the target of public criticism. How can he stay in He County?" Jin Ruyi said with a smile.

Lu Hao was stunned for a moment: "Have you investigated him thoroughly?"

"Think about it slowly." Jin Ruyi didn't continue.

"I just told you to read more books." Gao E shook her head.

Lu Hao was still a little confused, but he planned to read more books in the future.

The matter was settled, and Gao E was about to return to Baotou Village.

"Since Hua Jian is leaving, do you want to go to Qinzhou City earlier?" Jin Ruyi said that the hotter the weather, the cheaper the price of fur.

"No need." Gao E didn't intend to disrupt the previous plan. "This batch of bricks and tiles still needs to be burned on time."

Jin Ruyi didn't stop him: "Okay."

Gao E took Lu Qingluo back to Baotou Village. The village was eerily quiet, making her wonder if something had happened.

As soon as I entered the yard, Lei came to greet me.

"Second sister-in-law, those gamblers and their families have been taken away." Lei was faintly excited.

She had been at odds with those families to begin with, and after something like that happened, the Lei family hated them.

"They took them all away?" Gao E was surprised. There were about 20 to 30 people in those families.

"Well, we sold the land to those households at a low price. Since there weren't many people in the village, no one bought it." Lei lamented, "The price is even lower than last year."

Gao E was not surprised, because no one would dare to buy it under such circumstances.

"When Uncle Zheng came back, the person had already been taken away, and he looked a little lost." Lei said in a low voice.

Gao E didn't care about this. After all, the young people there were raised by Uncle Zheng and the others, and no one would feel good about such a thing happening.

But for Gao E, it was a simple solution, as she didn't have to worry about how to deal with it.

Yunshuang's departure made Luo Qing'er feel a little disappointed, but she soon felt relieved and started playing with Que'er.

Although Que'er is still very happy to see Zheng Xiaoshun now, she is also very quiet when she can't see him. She only wants to see him once or twice a day.

Things at the kiln went smoothly, so Gao E didn't ask about it. However, Yu Zhao and the others were still lying in ambush around Toad Valley.

Two days later, Lu Hao came and said that Hua Jianxing really had gone and would never return. You Lian'er, who stayed in Yueyuan, could not pay the rent for living in Yueyuan and was detained. When those outsiders knew that Hua Jianxing was gone, they all made a fuss.

"The government office is bustling with activity right now," Lü Hao said excitedly. "They all say that Hua is from the same hometown as Mr. He, and they're asking Mr. He to hand him over."

Gao E thought he deserved it. If He Tangchun had distanced himself from the matter from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened.

In the past two days, Lu Hao also completely understood what Sister Gao said. Hua Jianxing was a complete liar who just talked about himself as very powerful.

"I heard that many workshops have signed orders with Mr. Hua and are looking for him now." Lu Hao suddenly remembered, "Maybe he also signed an order with Sister Gao."

"It's okay, he gave a lot of deposit." Gao E glanced at Lu Hao.

Lu Hao understood immediately. They robbed the man named Hua, and the money from the order was nothing.

After talking about some other things with great interest, Lu Hao left with satisfaction.

Gao E sat in the yard and went over the matter from the beginning. Now there were only those men in black who needed to be dealt with, and there were no other problems.

In the next few days, she started to busy herself with papermaking. The bark prepared earlier had been soaked. Although pulping was physical work, it was nothing for the strong laborers in Baotou Village.

After working hard for a few days, we finally made the first batch of paper. Although it was a bit hard, it was real paper after all.

Du Weiqing was surprised when he saw the paper. He didn't expect Gao E to actually make it. "Where did you learn this?"

"Mr. Du just asked if this was paper." Gao E did not explain.

Du Weiqing looked at Gao E again and again. This country woman was really extraordinary. "Yes."

"Then our previous agreement still stands." Gao E laughed.

Du Weiqing repeatedly touched the paper in his hand. Although the quality was not very good, he did succeed. "I don't know how you made the paper, but building a college is not a simple matter. The talent and money required are beyond your imagination."

"Take it easy, it will work out." Gao E seemed unaware of the difficulties.

Du Weiqing held the paper in his hand.

In fact, he had a lot of things he wanted to do before.

He wants the world to be peaceful and prosperous.

He wanted his articles to spread all over the world.

He wanted the people to avoid suffering from the rise and fall of the country...

But later... he felt that being able to live freely between heaven and earth was the ultimate in his life.

In the end, she was not even as good as a village woman.

"I don't understand why you want to build a college?" Du Weiqing looked at Gao E in confusion.
