313 Xu Jiajun’s rules
"Quiet! Everyone, please stand quietly!" Su Ci held a loudspeaker and silenced the noisy crowd.
He was the prefect of a county and had been in office in Yuyang for many years, so he had some prestige in the hearts of the people.
After he stopped drinking, the crowd quickly became quiet.
Of course, the most likely possibility is that they are afraid of Xu Jiajun's saber that looks very sharp.
In this era, iron tools are hard to come by, and good weapons are even harder to come by.
What Xu Jiajun is equipped with is a forged steel weapon made by Wang Pingping. Regardless of its toughness or hardness, if you take it out casually, it is enough to become a famous Daqing sword.
This is the gap in scientific and technological power, surpassing the wisdom of Daqing for thousands of years, and completely destroying the Yuyang Guards!
Su Ci couldn't help but take another look at the weapon in Xu Jiajun's hand. Even though he had seen it countless times before, he was still amazed by the superb forging technology.
Su Ci put down the loudspeaker, came to the bottom of the stands, raised his head and said to the Xu family: "The whole city is here."
Xu Yue's eyes swept across the familiar and unfamiliar faces in front of her. Yuyang County has a total population of just over 2,000, which can fit into a food market.
She stayed on Su Wen's body for a moment. The girl hurriedly pressed her brother and lowered her head, her heart beating like a drum.
Su Wen thought to herself: This third wife of the Xu family is so powerful!
It's just that she has never seen a female leader. The little girl couldn't suppress her curiosity about the female leader of the Red Head Army, so she couldn't help but glance at her secretly.
Xu Yue slightly raised her lips, picked up the big speaker Su Ci handed over, patted it, and then said:
"As you can see, the entire Yuyang County has now been captured by our Xu Jiajun. Next, we will capture the other eight counties in Yuyang County! Yuyang is just the beginning!"
"As the saying goes, nothing can be achieved without rules. Our Xu family army also has rules and will not massacre innocent people!"
"But! If you go against my Xu Jiajun, the result will be like that -"
The girl pointed her hand forward, and Su Wen and others all turned their heads and looked behind them. At some point, several wealthy men were tied up by Xu Jiajun and forced to kneel on the ground.
There are many familiar faces here.
Without a word of nonsense, those Xu Jiajun raised their swords and cut off the heads of these rich men with a "click".
The sight of blood spurting out and an acquaintance's head rolling to the ground in front of her eyes made Su Wen shake violently.
Blood filled the air in front of her eyes, and she suddenly woke up. The Xu Jiajun were the rebels! They were not merciful! They would also kill people!
Someone screamed, and the bloody scene frightened those who had previously ignored Xu Jiajun.
The people of Yuyang County who were still standing fell to their knees on the ground.
However, Sanniang of the Xu family asked them to stand up and not kneel down.
Everyone could only get up from the ground tremblingly, lowering their heads, trying their best to reduce their sense of presence.
The grandmother of the Su family hurriedly held her two grandchildren in her arms, not daring to let them see such a scene.
But the body of the eldest granddaughter in her arms kept shaking, her sobs came out muffled, and she was already crying from fear.
The grandparents of the Su family looked at each other, lowered their heads with solemn eyes and sighed quietly, full of uneasiness and confusion about the future.
Xu Yue stood on the high platform and saw these changes in her eyes without any fluctuation in her heart.
Seeing that she was almost shocked, she continued to hold up the loudspeaker and said:
"You are all members of my Xu family now. Since you are my Xu family, you must abide by the rules of my Xu family!"
“First, those who don’t work don’t get to eat!”
"I don't care whether you were a wife or a master before, you still have to work for me!"
As soon as these words came out, all the women in the audience panicked and couldn't help but think in a bad direction.
What kind of work can a woman do?
Doing laundry, chopping firewood and cooking?
Obviously they themselves didn't believe that Xu Jiajun would be so tolerant.
They must be asked to do something that can bring benefits to the Xu family army, and what other benefits can women bring besides entering a brothel?
Suddenly, the women all turned pale. They felt that the female leader of the Xu family army, who was also a woman, had absolutely no sympathy for women.
But soon they heard the female leader say that they could redeem themselves with money.
"If you want to be free, you can use money to ransom your life. For big landowners, officials, and civilians, the prices vary. The maximum is 500,000 yuan and the minimum is 20,000 yuan. For specific details, the responsible person will tell you later!"
Minimum 20,000 yuan?
This price makes many people despair.
Some wealthy families, such as Mrs. Su, thought in her heart that being a member of an official family would not be cheap. She calculated the family's money, and maybe she could redeem her daughter and mother-in-law.
But she still couldn't hide her sadness - if Xu Jiajun wanted to force her, she would throw herself into a well!
"Second, for men and women to get married, women must be at least 18 years old and men must be at least 20 years old. I don't care whether you have been engaged before or not. Anyone who does not meet the marriage age is not allowed to get married!"
Su Wen, who was already engaged, was stunned. Her mind was now attracted by these rules and she was no longer disturbed by the bloody scene.
When her mother arranged a marriage for her, Su Wen actually did not feel very happy. She thought that if it were any other woman, she would not be so happy if she learned that she was going to marry a man she had never met.
.
And she is only fourteen years old now, and there are still four years until she is eighteen. In other words, she can stay with her parents for four years, and she will leave home and get married after four years.
Su Wen felt that Xu Jiajun's rules were actually pretty good. At least for her, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
On the other hand, both her grandmother and mother looked panicked, as if this would delay her marriage.
Su Wen thought to herself, it would be better if the marriage fell through!
Xu Yue, who was on the stage, raised her hand and gestured with three fingers, "Thirdly, from today on, children over six years old in the family, regardless of gender, must be sent to school, and the rest must also go to literacy classes.
Re-education!”
"Okay, let's talk about these three points for now. Other rules will be promulgated later. Those who want to redeem themselves can pay now!"
Xu Yue put down the speaker, nodded to the family members behind her, and sat down in front of the prepared stove, warming her hands and watching the development of the situation.
Xu Da and Wang Pingping looked at each other. Xu Da consciously took out his abacus and account book, called Jun Mei who was following Xu Yue, came to the stall, and sat down.
"Who wants to redeem themselves?" Jun Mei asked loudly.
No one dared to speak, perhaps because they were unsure of Xu Jiajun's intentions and were afraid of being the one who stood out.
Xu Da clicked his tongue, waved his hand to signal Jun Mei to step back, and directly nodded to a former colleague and asked:
"Master Wang, will you redeem yourself or not?"
Mr. Wang, who was selected, looked like he was about to cry. He quickly said that he did not dare to bear the title of "sir" and asked Xu Da to call him "Xiao Wang".
But people like them have always been outsiders and know very well what compromise is.
Knowing that Xu Da wanted to set an example for the people of Yuyang, he cooperated with Xu Da and asked about the details of the redemption that everyone wanted to know.
