Farming and reading family

Gao E originally wanted to wait until Chen Tao and Guan were married before completely leaving his family. However, now that Chen Tao is managing the family well and she is short of people, Gao E plans to leave Chen Tao's family now.

Chen Tao immediately shook his head after hearing this: "Master, now they know that you are protecting me, so they dare not do anything. If Master really doesn't care, they will definitely make a move."

In fact, Chen Tao did not say that whenever he was in He County, many people would come to him and say that Gao E wanted to control his family's property. As long as Chen Tao's attitude was firm, those people would be powerless.

They didn't dare to look for Gao E, as they always felt that this woman was very evil and that nothing good would happen if they met her.

But if Gao E really doesn't care about Chen Tao's family business, Chen Tao may be unable to take care of himself.

Gao E hesitated for a moment after hearing what Chen Tao said: "Then I have to take Chen Jie away."

"Master..." Chen Tao said with a bitter face, "Now my third uncle is the only one who belongs to you."

Gao E thought about it and agreed. Jin Ruyi went to Tanzhou City, Zheng Xiaoshun and Que'er went to Dancheng, and it seemed that only Chen Jie was left.

"Master is also short of people." Gao E said helplessly.

On the contrary, Chen Tao still has some people from the Chen family who were loyal to the Chen family even after the incident, so they can be reused.

"Just think of it as borrowing me for a while." Gao E suggested.

Chen Tao hesitated again and again: "Okay."

After discussing with Chen Tao, Gao E found Chen Jie and asked him to go to Jiming Mountain to be responsible for honeycomb coal.

Chen Jie rubbed his hands. That was the most sought-after item in He County right now. "Second sister-in-law, the price of firewood in Qinzhou City is so high. How about we sell honeycomb coal there?"

"Let's manage Hexian well first." Gao E saw Chen Jie's eagerness and said, "Don't cause any trouble."

"Okay." Chen Jie agreed readily.

After arranging these things, Gao E went home.

She is not idle either. All the account books have to be summarized here, and all the workers' wages have to go through her, especially after they are converted into tickets, they have to be reconciled additionally.

So far, the rollout of the tickets has not been very smooth.

However, Xu Boyan has arrived in Qinzhou City. As long as Qinzhou City is stable, the exchange of silver notes should be able to return to normal.

When it was time to deliver the account books to the honeycomb coal workshop every month, Chen Jie did not come. Gao E waited for two days but still did not see him. Thinking that Chen Jie did not know about this, she took Lu Qingluo to find Chen Jie.

Because Gao E built the honeycomb coal workshop here in Jiming Mountain, there are many cars passing by here and the road is much wider.

Before she reached Jiming Mountain, she encountered several groups of people blocking the road with wooden stakes. They moved the stakes away when they saw them coming, and then put the stakes across the road again after they passed.

Gao E had a bad feeling.

"What's going on?" Lu Qingluo was a little curious.

Gao E thought that something had happened in the honeycomb coal workshop, so she asked Lu Qingluo to hurry up.

When they arrived near the workshop, there were even more people gathered there, and they refused to give way even when Gao E came.

"What's going on?" Lu Qingluo asked after getting out of the car.

"It's none of your business, stay away." Zhao Gui said as he was about to push Lu Qingluo.

Lu Qingluo raised his hand to push it away, and Zhao Gui staggered two steps before stopping.

"You bitch, are you looking for trouble?" Zhao Gui pointed at Lu Qingluo.

Lu Qingluo hadn't been pointed at like this for a long time. The scabbard of his sword hit Zhao Gui directly on the head, and he kicked Zhao Gui on the knee, knocking him to his knees on the ground.

"You should be glad that I'm not looking for trouble now." Lu Qingluo looked at him coldly.

The people around took two steps back when they saw Lu Qingluo's skills.

"Let's all come together. How can there be no way that so many of us can't beat a woman?" Zhao Gui said as he stood up.

Lu Qingluo kicked him to the ground and looked at the people around him with disdain.

"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law..." Chen Jie opened the workshop door and shouted, his arms still hanging in front of his chest.

Gao E looked over and asked: "What's wrong with your arm?"

"They beat us." Chen Jie pointed at the people gathered in front of the door.

Those people had not thought that Gao E had any connection with Chen Jie and the others, after all, there were only two women.

But when I heard Chen Jie call my second sister-in-law, I knew they were in the same group.

"Qing Luo." Gao E's eyes suddenly turned gloomy. "Break one arm for each of you."

When Lu Qingluo heard Gao E say this, he didn't hesitate. He unsheathed his sword and moved fluently. Wherever he passed, people around him fell to the ground, holding their arms and wailing.

Most of the long-term workers in the workshop were hired by Jin Gusheng. He only knew that their boss was Boss Gao, but had never met him.

Chen Jie walked out of the workshop excitedly. He had been feeling very depressed these past two days.

After everyone fell down, Lu Qingluo stood there and looked around, and several people were so scared that they hurriedly hugged their arms.

"Second sister-in-law..." Chen Jie ran to his second aunt.

"What's going on?" Gao E looked at Chen Ke.

"They said this mountain belongs to their Zhao family and they want us to give them 50% of the profits from honeycomb coal," Chen Jie said directly.

In fact, he didn't know when his second sister-in-law owned this mountain and the coal mine. When he found out, it was already honeycomb coal.

"Oh?" Gao E looked at Zhao Gui, who fell first. "Then you have the wrong person."

Zhao Gui didn't dare to respond.

This mountain did belong to the Zhao family before, but it was Zhao Jiancheng's family, and it had been in their hands for decades.

The Zhao clan members just came here to chop some firewood for their family use, and they didn't make any big profit.

As a result, a coal mine was discovered just after the product was sold to the Gao family, and honeycomb coal was even produced. Now it is in short supply in He County, so they are naturally jealous.

Finally, they decided to share a piece of meat. They felt that they were the local bosses and had to follow anyone who came.

"This mountain now belongs to Lord Xu. He is in Qinzhou City. If you have any questions, you can go to him directly. We are just doing work for him." Gao E explained seriously.

When Chen Jie heard that the mountain belonged to Lord Xu, he immediately felt that the explanation was clear. It might be that Lord Xu had left and handed the mountain over to his second sister-in-law to manage.

"Is Zhao Zhengyuan still in Zhaojiazhuang?" Gao E looked at those people.

Those people felt a pang of fear in their hearts.

Zhao Zhengyuan is now the head of the Zhao family. He is a high-ranking official who leads thousands of people outside, but he is called by his name like this.

"Who are you to dare to call my uncle by his name?" Zhao Gui questioned and moved back.

"He's a good friend of his superiors." Gao E said with a smile.

Zhao Gui lowered his head, his eyes rolling around. He had originally wanted to use his uncle's name, but now it seemed useless.

Gao E looked at those people with some fear: "Also, the land you are standing on is mine. Anyone who comes to my land and beats me will not be able to leave until I give you an explanation today."

Zhao Gui and his people are local tyrants in this area because of Zhaojiazhuang. Even the surrounding gentry will give them some face. This is the first time they have encountered someone with such strong martial virtues.

Everyone looked at Zhao Gui. They were really injured this time and wanted to extort some money from Gao E. As a result, Gao E asked them for an explanation.

Zhao Gui's eyes rolled quickly, thinking that a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him, and it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. If all else fails, he will just surrender first.
