Early the next morning, it was just dawn. Chen Ao sent Su Zhuo and the others to the riverside wharf. A brig was already waiting by the river.

Although they have not been together for a long time, they have established a deep friendship. Chen Ao is an emotional person, and what he doesn't like the most is the scene of separation. Su Zhuo patted him on the shoulder and got on the boat.

The sails have been raised, and several sailors are also ready to pull up the anchor. Long Qingping suddenly took Chen Ao's hand and said, "I'm leaving!"

Chen Ao said "um". Long Qingping is nominally Chen Ao's bodyguard, but Chen Ao has never regarded her as his entourage, but rather as his little sister. Although Long Qingping was not able to rescue in time in several life-and-death situations, her professionalism is still remarkable.

Chen Ao was also a little reluctant to part with her, and said with a forced smile: "Okay." After you go back, wait for me to say hello to the Lord of Dragon Island......"

Long Qingping nodded, as if she couldn't say anything. The people who saw them off on the side invariably moved a few steps out of the way and gave them a thoughtful talk.

Long Qingping said: "After I leave, I can't protect you." Be careful with yourself, go out on a regular basis, and bring more people. ”

Chen Ao's heart warmed, his smile was a little stiff, and he said, "Okay." You too, stay safe. ”

Long Qingping thought for a while, and then said, "Wait until my master is ready...... I'll come to the Central Plains to find you again, okay?"

Of course, Chen Ao couldn't ask for it, so he couldn't help but stretch out his finger and scratch the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "Okay, my position as a personal bodyguard can always be reserved for you!"

Seeing that the boat had already begun to move, Long Qingping jumped forward, stood firmly on the deck, and waved towards the shore. Chen Ao also waved vigorously until the boat went farther and farther, and gradually turned into a little black shadow on the horizon.

Liang Xiaoya suddenly said: "Okay, no matter how much you wave your hand, people won't be able to see it!"

Chen Ao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard her bad tone, and when he turned around, he saw Liang Xiaoya's complaining face, like a little daughter-in-law who was angry.

Liang Xiaoya muttered again: "Hmph, when I left, why didn't I see you so reluctant!"

Chen Ao was a little lost, and when she said this, he couldn't help laughing, and said deliberately: "How can you compare with Miss Long? She can protect my safety, can you?"

Liang Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, straightened her small chest, thought about it, but couldn't speak. She didn't realize what she could do herself. She stayed for a long time before she said, "Sister Long is indeed strong in martial arts, but Sister Zhao and I can also help you do a lot of things!"

Zhao Ling was stunned and thought, why did this girl pull me together again......

She has already seen that Liang Xiaoya has affection for Chen Ao, and she also regards herself as Chen Ao's lover. Therefore, Liang Xiaoya compared her with Zhao Ling, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the meaning of this is self-evident. Zhao Ling's cheeks couldn't help but heat slightly.

However, Chen Ao didn't seem to notice it, and Wu Zi and Liang Xiaoya were arguing. He laughed and said, "You, what's the use of you wanting to have no breasts, no ass?"

Liang Xiaoya's face was flushed, and she scolded loudly: "Chen Ao, you are going to die!"

Chen Ao laughed and strode away. One of the two fled, the other chased, and disappeared all of a sudden. Only Zhao Ling smiled helplessly, and walked back reflexively, thinking about his thoughts as he walked. What do you feel about Chen Ao in your heart......

Su Zhuo's family left, Long Qingping also left, and Chen Ao's side was suddenly cleared. Fortunately, Liang Xiaoya can quarrel, but it doesn't seem so cold. Liang Xiaoya was robbed by Chen Ao at first, and she was always angry, eager to tear Chen Ao apart. But later, she actually woke up to the fact that Chen Ao was just deliberately angry with her, in fact, what she said in her mouth was the opposite of what she thought in her heart.

For example, Chen Ao said that she was ugly and ugly, which was disgusting. That means she's as beautiful as a flower and very attractive. So Liang Xiaoya was no longer angry, but scolded Chen Ao with a smile.

Chen Ao was inexplicable, he didn't know what kind of trick this crazy girl had fallen into, so he had to shake his spirit and use all kinds of tricks to hurt people. The two quarreled every day, and it didn't take long for them to get better and better.

Zhao Ling naturally didn't have time to participate in their boring activities. She devoted herself to the innovation of the Salt Gang, showing her strengths like a fish in water. Zhao Ling knew Chen Aoliu's intention to leave several hall masters for the New Year, but he was afraid that they would be dissatisfied and would stir up trouble when they returned to the place.

Therefore, according to Chen Ao's plan, she selected five loyal and loyal hall masters among the talents of the younger generation of the Salt Gang to take up their posts in advance. With these few people going to rectify the work and carry out the reform, after a month or two, the five halls will definitely be closely united. Even if a few main hall masters wanted to rebel after they returned, there were only a few people who were afraid to respond.

Zhao Ling was conscientious, and Chen Ao was very moved. What's more, Zhao Ling was not selfish this time, and the deputy hall master selected was not loyal to her, but really loyal to Chen Ao. Chen Ao knew this, and relied on Zhao Ling even more, and he always felt uneasy if he didn't discuss everything with Zhao Ling.

Time flies, Chen Ao, Liang Xiaoya, and Zhao Ling have had a simple and warm year, although it is not so lively, but it is also happy. Seeing that as soon as the year passes, spring will come, and everything will recover and gradually show vitality.

Another month passed, and it was the first day of February. At first glance, it was warm and cold, but the east wind was blowing, and it was already warm. After these years of hard work, the entire Salt Gang is now completely under Chen Ao's control.

The original faction in power either recognized the reality and joined the Chen Ao camp, or they were sent to marginal positions, and it was difficult to do anything again. And those who were originally suppressed and capable were vigorously promoted by Chen Ao and Zhao Ling, so they were naturally grateful to Chen Ao and wholeheartedly supported him. After this round of reshuffle, the entire Salt Gang has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The restructuring of the salt farm led by Peng Shugen has also achieved phased results. The motivation of the workers in the salt works has been greatly improved, and the output has naturally skyrocketed. Chen Ao organized people from various halls who were specifically responsible for managing the salt works to learn from the experience of this old salt worker and promote it in various places.

Peng Shugen, an honest man, has never been so beautiful in his life. Seeing that the eyes of the hundred and tenth people were focused on him, Peng Shugen seemed to have a second spring, waved his arms, and said spittle.

Everything is going according to plan. In addition, the Salt Gang has changed its loose structure in the past, and has truly become a well-organized gang with clear levels of upper and lower levels, and it has gradually emerged in the rivers and lakes.

In fact, in addition to the salt gang where Chen Ao served as the helmsman, there were also gangs specializing in the production of well salt in Shudi, and there were also gangs in the northwest that produced rock salt. However, these small gangs and factions are difficult to become climates, so they cannot be called salt gangs.

Since the name of the Salt Gang was launched, these gangs located in the border areas also came to congratulate and even expressed their willingness to join. In this regard, Chen Ao has always been unrefusal. However, Zhao Ling is not a sloppy manager. She organized people to inspect and screen these gangs, and only those with a clean foundation and a certain strength were eligible to join the Salt Gang. As a result, the Salt Gang added two new halls - Huangsha Hall and Sword Pavilion Hall.

On the other side, Chen Ao continued to work with Liu Dongquan and the snake. Through Liu Dongquan's connections, Chen Ao easily got rid of the local officials in charge of salt administration. After a series of black-box operations, the Salt Gang successfully cleared its name and became a conscience gang that made outstanding contributions to the Song Dynasty.

Seeing the rapid improvement of performance, Chen Ao was satisfied and full of spirit. He often thinks that although the Salt Gang has existed for thousands of years, it was only at this time that it had real strength and a place in the rivers and lakes. And as a leader, he naturally has to be remembered by history. It's a good feeling to go down in history...... [.]
