Chapter 316 Newspapers
Su Ci was so tired these days that his face was sallow and sallow. Hearing this, his complexion finally improved, and he told the family members to prepare more money to exchange for Xu's money.

"Why do you need to change the chips?" Grandma Su's expression changed.

Su Ci sighed: "If you want to change, you have to change. If you haven't been to Xujiazhuang, you don't know the rules there. Now that the Xu family has entered the city, they have brought all the rules of Xujiazhuang. From now on, you can only use Xujiazhuang in the city. I have to shave my hair and take a bath, what do you think I am busy these days? Isn't it just for this!"

Speaking of this, Su Ci felt a headache, and sighed several times, "My colleagues in the past are going to make trouble, just shaving their hair will kill half of them."

Su Wen, who stood aside and listened to the conversation of the elders, was taken aback, and subconsciously covered her hair and asked:
"Father, don't scare me. Do all the people in the city have to shave their hair? Do women also shave? Can't you not shave?"

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

Seeing the panic of the family members, Su Ci quickly waved his hands and explained: "No, not all of them have to be shaved, but those who have lice on their heads must be shaved off!"

Hearing this, Su Wen blushed. Don't look at all these young ladies, they are all clean and beautiful, but that's just a superficial appearance. Who doesn't have a few lice?

Especially her maid, whose head was full of lice, could see white eggs.It is very difficult to get rid of this thing, and there is no way to ask the doctor.

She and the servant girl collapsed into sleep together, there wasn't one before, but now there is.

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

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

"It seems to say that the lice are not good for the health, they can also infect diseases, affect the efficiency of work, etc. The sulfur powder has already been transported into the city, and Xu Erniang and a group of boys are going to clean the whole city. Repelling insects and catching rats, it is said that the environment can be improved to prevent the outbreak of the plague.”

Su Ci said exactly what Xu Erniang said, and everyone in the Su family half understood what they said, but felt that it made some sense.

The rat infestation in the city is indeed serious, and it is better in winter. After the snow melts, the rats become active. Whenever there is a gap in the room, they will not let it go.

Just last year, the old nanny who served Grandma Su had two fingers eaten off by mice at night, and then contracted a strange disease, and died shortly after, making Grandma Su sad for a long time.

"Can this work?"

At this moment, the concern of the female family members of the Su family has changed from shaving their hair to worrying about the rat problem in the city.

Su Ci didn't know if it would work, anyway, he saw that Xu Erniang and the gang of nagging boys under her seemed quite confident.

Grandfather Su, who hadn't spoken all this time, suddenly raised his head, and said quietly, "The five members of the Xu family are descended from the gods, and they have the means of gods. This time, the second wife of the Xu family is going to use a magic medicine to deal with the rat plague in the city. Will it work? Let's wait and see."

The Su family was taken aback. How did the old man who stayed behind closed doors know the news from the outside world?
And they didn't even know that Xu Erniang was going to take out the magic medicine!
Facing the shocked expressions of his family members, Grandfather Su tremblingly took out a piece of paper from his chest and patted it on the table.

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

Since Xu Jiajun entered the city, everything he did every day was clearly written on it, such as building a school, opening literacy classes, treating rats, and so on.

In addition, there are things to be done next - open a talk meeting, and distribute fields and land to tenants!
The words are all marked with pinyin. Su Wen boldly stepped forward and could basically spell it out. When she saw the division of fields and land, she froze for a moment.

Xu Jiajun actually wants to distribute the family's land to the tenants, isn't he afraid of causing fierce resistance from the family?

Su Ci was also stunned, but he didn't have much land under his name, so this matter shouldn't affect him too much.

However, his elder brother stayed in the old house and took care of thousands of acres of land in the family. If all of this was distributed, wouldn't the Su family exist in name only?

Su Ci gasped, feeling that the Xu family was a little aggressive.No, it is too aggressive!Just wishful thinking!
There is no way they will succeed!Su Ci thought firmly in his heart.

There are so many big families in Yuyang County, each of which has one or two hundred family members, but how many people are there in the Xu family army?

He guessed there would be no more than 700 in all.

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

If they want to go against it, as long as they don't go to the territory of the aristocratic families, they will benefit from it afterwards. With the reputation 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, which is tantamount to courting death!
Thinking that when he worked with the Xu family in the past few days, there was no bureaucratic atmosphere, only the simplicity and straightforwardness of doing practical things, Su Ci was a little bit reluctant for them to fail so quickly.

However, as long as the Xu family touched the interests of the aristocratic family, they were doomed to perish.

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

But then Xu Jiajun used actual actions to prove that everyone was wrong. In the face of absolute strength, everything is false! .
Xu Yue felt that the aristocratic families in Daqing always liked to make compromises.

For example, if you say: the people cultivate too little land, and if you want to buy their land with money, they will never agree.

But if you say that you will forcibly confiscate all his ill-gotten property, they will be willing to sell you the field.

"Father, let's divide up the fields quickly!"

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

It's good that he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Father Liang blew up instantly, stood up abruptly, picked up the inkstone beside the table, and wanted to open his son's brain to see what was inside him!
"I never expected that my son would become a rebel!"

"It's fine if you say that you are a rebel, we are all meritorious ministers, not only did you not bring any benefits to your father and your family, but also urged your father to divide the family wealth saved by your ancestors for eighteen generations. ?”

"Do you know how hard we earn in this family business?" Father Liang asked sharply.

After finishing speaking, he was still not convinced, and added: "Our family has 300 members, plus the Zhang family and Yan family, there are a thousand people. Are you afraid that he is a small Xu family army?"

Looking at his old father's insane appearance, Boya sighed helplessly, and there was a pity that Liang's father could not detect in his eyes.

Dad, Xu Jiajun really has gods to help him!
