The clerk put down the work in his hand and came over to greet the customers. He took out a plate of colorful cotton threads and placed it on the counter. He warmly asked Grandma Su to try it out.

"This is a cotton thread that our Xu Family Army only has. Our leader borrowed seeds from the gods and grew cloud-like cotton. This thread is made of cotton. It has much better toughness than silk thread and is stronger and more durable than hemp thread."

The clerk weighed out a small lump and said, "This lump weighs one or two and has five counters. It can make more than a dozen clothes. It's not expensive. Why don't you take two lumps back to try?"

Grandma Su was confused. The cloud-like cotton was a seed borrowed from the gods. She would never have believed it before.

But after witnessing the miracles performed by the goddess Xu Erniang of the Church of Light, Su Zu was not sure whether there really were gods in this world.

Forget it, never mind, as long as it works, can't she buy it?

Grandma Su gave up thinking and simply followed her heart. She carefully selected a few balls of cotton threads of different colors, planning to go back with her daughter-in-law and her personal mother-in-law to make new clothes for the family.

But since she wanted to make new clothes, thread alone was not enough. Grandma Su bought two more pieces of colorful linen.

It’s not that she lowered the quality of her clothes, but that Xu Jiajun’s linen was really a good deal.

Not only does it feel more delicate than ordinary linen, it also has color, and the price is so cheap that you’d feel like you’re at a loss if you don’t buy it!

As a result, Grandma Su, who originally came to buy sugar, unexpectedly bought two more pieces of colorful linen, a few balls of cotton thread, an iron kettle, an iron kitchen knife, and a set of white porcelain bowls, which made Grandpa Su's hands full.

When I came out of the convenience store, it was already getting late, and the braised pork shop on the street was just opening. I was thinking about the pitiful way my granddaughter wanted to eat braised pork a few days ago and couldn't get it, so she finally brought home a tube of braised pork. Grandma Su

Dafang took out twenty chips and bought a portion of braised offal to take home.

The weather was excellent today, with blue sky and white clouds overhead, and the warm sun basking in the sun. When she walked into the house with big bags and small bags in her arms, she saw her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren coming to greet her with smiles after work and classes were over. Grandma Su felt inexplicable.

There was a throbbing.

I go out early in the morning and eat big steamed buns with sugar and meat buns. When I have to go to school and go to work, I go to the convenience store and buy some novelties to take home.

If you want to change your taste, go to a restaurant to have a meal, or buy a braised pork dish to take home to improve your meal.

Finally, the whole family had enough to eat and drink, and spent a chip to take a comfortable hot bath in the public bathroom.

Such a day is fulfilling and beautiful.

Grandma Su thought she might be crazy. She actually felt that the days with Xu Jiajun around were more interesting than before.

No matter what, there are braised vegetables today, let’s eat first and let the rest go.

...

Time has come to mid-April, and by this time, spring plowing has passed.

After finishing this most important thing, in the newly built palace in Bingzhou, Gongsun Zan and Northern Emperor Zhao Yuanji had free time to pay attention to the changes in Yuyang.

Captain Liu, who was sent out to inquire earlier, has returned. Gongsun Zan asked: "What is the current situation in Yuyang? Is the news that came before true?"

Lieutenant Liu looked grave and replied: "General, the news is true, the Xu family has really rebelled!"

Although he had already guessed this answer, Gongsun Zan was so angry that he smashed the desk in front of him after hearing it from his subordinates.

"Okay, what a Xu family, what a Xu Qingyang, what a Wang Pingping, this general treats you well, but you actually turned against me!"

Northern Emperor Zhao Yuanji, who was sitting in a high position, was stunned for a moment, as if he was still awake, and asked: "Why?"

Liu Duwei glanced at the emperor and hesitated to speak, a little unable to bear to tell the truth.

However, he took a deep breath and said it anyway.

"The Xu family, headed by Xu Yue, captured Yuyang and established themselves as king. The prefect Su Ci, the county magistrate Zhao Bei and others all surrendered!"

With Xu Yue as the leader, with just this sentence, everyone understood that the Xu family was dissatisfied with Zhao Yuanji's canonization of his wife, and if they deliberately put Xu Yue as the leader, wouldn't this be a slap in their majesty's face?

Sure enough, Zhao Yuanji's eyes darkened and his face instantly became ugly.

The atmosphere in the hall became strange. Gongsun Zan was so angry that he rushed down from his seat and walked around the hall, as if he wanted to find something to smash and vent his anger at the betrayal.

It's a pity that the imperial court they just established is still very poor. The most valuable thing in the main hall is the dragon chair sitting under Zhao Yuanji's butt. No matter how angry or irrational he is, he will not be crazy enough to lift it in front of all the civil and military officials.

To the point of turning over the emperor's throne.

It stands to reason that in the past few decades, there have been countless rebels. Gongsun Zan will not take these insignificant guys seriously at all.

But, this is the Xu family!

It’s Xu Qingyang, it’s Wang Pingping, it’s Xu Yue!

Gongsun Zan didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that the Xu family was different from the previous rebels.

Su Ci, the governor of Yuyang, surrendered directly. What does this mean?

This shows that all the people he originally left behind in Yuyang County betrayed him and turned to support the Xu family army.

Gongsun Zan punched the pillars of the hall with his fist, and his anger subsided a little. He asked Captain Liu with red eyes: "Apart from Su Ci and Zhao Bei, who else has surrendered?"

Lieutenant Liu replied: "No, only the two of them surrendered, the others..."

Just when Gongsun Zan felt comforted, he heard Captain Liu say: "The Xu family's army bought all the fields of all the big families in Yuyang County. They distributed the fields to the tenants. The big families who refused all died at the hands of Wang Pingping and Xu Dalang.

.”

"And those who were forced to obey are no different from ordinary people now. They have no fields and no tribes. They are really useless."

Captain Liu looked at Gongsun Zan's face gradually turning livid, swallowed, and continued:

"General, the Xu family has been thief for a long time. They hid your iron and a strange material called cement. You can pave almost two miles of road in one day. The road is spacious and is not afraid of water or fire. From Yuyang County to Gongsunshi Wubao

, now it takes less than a quarter of an hour..."

"Also, Xu Erniang claims to be a goddess and founded the Guangming Sect Sisters. All women under the rule of Xu Jiajun can serve as officials. It is simply unbelievable!"

"The people in Yuyang all say that the Xu family is a god who came down to earth to save the people. Although the family was destroyed, these tenants are very supportive of the Xu family's army."

Gongsun Zan didn't think it was strange that Xu Jiajun allowed a woman to serve as an official.

Wang Pingping is a woman, how can she make the lives of the women under her difficult?

However, listening to what Liu Duwei said, the Xu family not only failed to win over the support of the local aristocratic families in Yuyang, but also overthrew all these aristocratic families?

Throughout the ages, no one who dared to oppose aristocratic families has succeeded!

There are benefits to attacking aristocratic families - when the fields are distributed, taxes can be paid, which is very important to the rulers.

However, this approach is simply courting death. Most of the power in this world is in the hands of aristocratic families. If the Xu family does not receive support from other aristocratic families, how can they succeed if they are just tenants with nothing?

However, according to Captain Liu, the Xu family army seemed to be alive and well. Not only was it not over, it also posed a great threat to them.

Gongsun Zan suddenly realized that in all these years, he had never seen the true face of the Xu family clearly.

The whole Xujiazhuang is acting with him!
