Su Ci's face was so tired these days that his face was sallow. Hearing this, his complexion finally improved, and he told the women at home to prepare more money to exchange for the Xu family.

"Why do you still need to change chips?" Grandma Su's face changed.

Su Ci sighed: "If you want to change, you have to change. You have never been to Xujiazhuang and don't know the rules there. Now that the Xu family has entered the city, they have brought all the rules of Xujiazhuang here. From now on, you can only use Xujiazhuang in the city, and you have to pay when you go in and out of the city.

I have to shave my hair and take a bath. What do you think I have been busy with these days? This is not just for this!"

Speaking of this, Su Ci felt a headache and sighed several times, "My former colleagues are going to be in trouble. Just shaving their heads will cost them half their lives."

Su Wen, who was standing aside and listening to the elders' conversation, was startled. She subconsciously covered her hair and asked:

"Dad, please don't scare me. Do everyone in the city have to shave their heads? Do women also shave their heads? Can't they not shave their heads?"

Mrs. Su and Grandma Su also turned pale with fright.

Seeing that the female family members were panicking, Su Ci hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "No, no, not all of them need to be shaved, but those with lice on their heads must be shaved!"

Su Wen blushed when she heard this. Even though these ladies were all clean and beautiful, that was just the appearance. How could anyone not have a few lice on their head?

Especially her maid, the lice all over her head can be seen with white eggs. It is difficult to get rid of them, and even after asking the doctor, there is nothing they can do.

She and the maid slept together. What was not there before was now there.

"Why?" Su Wen couldn't understand Xu Jiajun's strange rules.

Su Ci had previously asked Xu Erniang, who was in charge of this matter, what did Xu Erniang say at that time?

"It seems that these lice are not good for the body, can also transmit diseases, and affect the efficiency of work. The sulfur powder has been transported into the city. Xu Erniang and a group of boys are about to clean the whole city. Not only are they going to

Exterminate insects and catch rats, saying that if the environment is improved, the outbreak of plague can be prevented."

Su Ci said exactly what Xu Erniang said. Everyone in the Su family could not understand what he said, but they felt that it made some sense.

The rat infestation in the city is indeed serious, but it is better in winter. After the snow melts, the rats become active. They will not let go of any crack in the room.

Just last year, the old nanny who was serving Grandma Su had two of her fingers eaten by a mouse at night, and then she contracted a strange disease and died shortly after. Grandma Su was very sad for a long time.

"Will this work?"

At this moment, the concerns of the women of the Su family have changed from shaving their heads to worrying about the rat infestation in the city.

Su Ci didn't know if it would work, but he seemed quite confident in Xu Erniang and the gang of naughty boys under her.

Grandfather Su, who had been silent until now, suddenly raised his head and said quietly: "The five members of the Xu family are gods who have come to the world and have magical means. This time, the two mothers of the Xu family are going to come up with magic medicine to deal with the rat infestation in the city. Will it have any effect?

Let’s wait and see.”

The Su family was shocked. How could the old man, who was shut up at home, know the news from the outside world?

Moreover, they didn’t even know that Xu Erniang was going to come up with the magic medicine!

Facing the shocked expressions of his family, Grandfather Su took out a piece of paper from his chest and patted it on the table.

Su Ci hurriedly stepped forward to check. The small paper opened, and the four simplified Chinese characters "Guangming Shenbao" came into view, followed by pictures and texts of major current events.

Since Xu Jiajun entered the city, everything he did every day was clearly written on it, including building schools, opening literacy classes, controlling rat infestations, etc.

In addition, there are still things to do next - hold a meeting to criticize landlords and allocate land to farmers!

The words were all marked with pinyin. Su Wen boldly stepped forward and could basically pronounce the pinyin. When she saw the division of fields and land, she was stunned.

Xu Jiajun actually wants to allocate the land from the landlord's family to the tenants. Isn't he afraid of arousing fierce resistance from the wealthy families?

Su Ci was also stunned, but he didn't have much land under his name, so this incident shouldn't have much impact on him.

However, his brother stayed at the old house and was in charge of thousands of acres of farmland in the family. If all these were divided, wouldn't their Su family exist in name only?

Su Ci took a breath of cold air and felt that the Xu family was a little too aggressive. No, it was too aggressive! It was simply wishful thinking!

There is no way they can succeed! Su Ci thought firmly in his heart.

There are so many aristocratic families in Yuyang County, and each family has one or two hundred servants. How many people are there in the Xu family army?

He guessed that there would be no more than 700 people in total.

If the aristocratic families united to resist together, the Xu family would not be able to hold on.

If they want to, they can. As long as they don't go to the territory of the aristocratic families and win over them with benefits afterwards, with the reputations of Xu Qingyang and Wang Pingping, they will definitely get the support of some aristocratic families.

But they still want to touch these untouchable interests. This is tantamount to seeking death!

Thinking that when he was working with the Xu family in the past few days, there was no sense of bureaucracy, only simplicity and simplicity in doing practical things, Su Ci was a little reluctant to let them fail so quickly.

However, as long as the Xu family touches the interests of the family, they are destined to be defeated.

Not only Su Ci thought so, but other old officials in the city also thought so.

But then Xu Jiajun's actual actions proved that everyone was wrong. In the face of absolute strength, everything is false!

Xu Yue felt that the wealthy gentry from Daqing's aristocratic families always liked to compromise.

For example, if you say that the people have too little farmland and you want to pay to buy their fields, they will never agree.

But if you say that you will forcibly confiscate all his property that was acquired improperly, they will be willing to sell the land to you.

"Dad, let's divide all the fields quickly!"

In the Liang family mansion, Boya earnestly persuaded his old father to make progress and support his son's work.

It's a good thing that he didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, Father Liang was instantly furious. He stood up and picked up the inkstone beside the table, wanting to open his son's head and see what was inside!

"I never expected that my son would actually become a rebel!"

"You said that you just want to be a rebel, and we are all considered as meritorious officials. Not only did it not bring any benefits to your family, but you also encouraged me to divide the wealth saved by your ancestors for eighteen generations.

?”

"Do you know how hard it is to earn our family fortune?" Liang's father asked sternly.

Still not convinced after finishing speaking, he added: "Our family has three hundred people, plus the Zhang family and the Yan family, there are a thousand people. Are you afraid of the Xu family army?"

Boya looked at his old father's crazy appearance and sighed helplessly, with compassion hidden in his eyes that Father Liang could not detect.
