Chapter 513 Promising
Seeing that the team was in order, Xu Yue began to handle business.

It's a pity that none of the villagers can write, and even Lizheng's son Zhou Yu can only write his own name.

Xu Yue had no choice but to ask for information while registering, and had to sign the contract for the villagers along the way.

When it comes to the final signing part, if you can't write, you can use your fingerprint instead.

Because they couldn't read, the villagers always asked Xu Yue the same question over and over again, for fear that there would be a huge amount of high interest in this contract, and they would deceive themselves.

But as soon as the golden cake was in their hands, the vigilance of the villagers was instantly reduced to zero, and they didn't care about anything, they got the money first.

Xu Yue is not worried that they will not repay their debts. When the Xu family army takes over Jizhou, she will set up a Xu family people's bank and let a special person handle the business of these banks. Once the big net is laid, want to default?Don't think about it!
In one morning, Xu Yue loaned out a total of [-] yuan. Some villagers were timid, fearing that they would not be able to pay, so they conservatively loaned [-] to [-] yuan.

The courageous ones were big, such as Zhou Yu, who borrowed [-] yuan in one go.

With money, the villagers did not delay for a moment, and immediately left the village to go to the town to buy grain.

Xu Yue and the others were delayed all morning because of the loan, and hurriedly ate some dry food at noon, then set off again.

In order to save time, instead of taking the abandoned dirt road, he boldly drove onto the official road and parted with Zhou Yu and others who were going to the town at the intersection.

Xu Yue and others went first, and Zhou Yu led the villagers to watch Xu Yue and others go away gratefully. Then he suppressed the heavy kindness, turned around and walked towards the town opposite to Xu Yue and others.

Holding the heavy gold cake in their arms, the villagers were excited, secretly looking forward to the victory of the Xu family army.

If they have a chance at that time, they will definitely support Xu Jiajun with all their strength!

Because the villagers discovered that Xu Jiajun was really fighting for the rights and interests of poor people like them.

The leader of the Xu family army entered Jizhou with a personal risk, just to understand the situation of the common people here.

She didn't need to do this, these things can be handed over to her subordinates.

But she came, not only came, but also saved them and showed them the way to survive.

Xu Jiajun was not at all like the red scarf army who made a lot of trouble in the past, shouting that the sky is dead and Huang Tian should stand, but if the villagers encounter it, it will definitely be a bloodbath.

Xu Jiajun will regard the common people as compatriots, and they have been fighting hard for the freedom and rights of compatriots, even at the expense of their lives.

How can this friendship not move people?
Zhou Yu sighed to the villagers more than once, "I have never seen such a king. The other kings are all sitting in gorgeous palaces, eating minced meat and watching dancers enjoying themselves."

"Leader Xu is different. She eats and lives with the people. In order to reduce the sacrifices of the soldiers, she came to Jizhou in person to find out the local situation for the soldiers in advance. She, she is so kind, she has no airs at all."

Zhou Yu was poor in Ci, and was distressed that he had little reading and no culture, so he couldn't use the gorgeous words to praise the leader.

"You say she is so good, is it because she is a woman?" Zhou Yu asked the villagers what they thought.

The villagers nodded one after another, but they did not fully agree.

"There is no distinction between men and women. Leader Xu is so good because she is good. She really wants everyone to live well. I thought about it all night last night, but I couldn't figure out why she wanted to help us."

The only woman in the village sighed: "How can there be such a person in this world who is willing to fight for someone who has nothing to do with it? I thought about it, and if it were me, I couldn't do it."

Zhou Yu said enviously: "But it is precisely because of such people that we were hopeless last night, and we who dare not even live have the hope of rebuilding the village."

The villagers couldn't help but look back at the direction the troupe left. Xu Jiajun was no longer there, but the villagers still looked at it for a long time, and then looked away reluctantly.

"drive!"

The sound of drinking horses suddenly came from the road ahead, Zhou Yu and others were startled, and hurriedly evaded to the side of the road.

They were ragged, thin, and looked poor. Several officers and soldiers who rode over gave them a casual look, thinking they were refugees from somewhere.

Seeing the tall officers and soldiers riding on the horses, Zhou Yu and the others felt their hearts skip a beat.

They tried their best to hide by the side of the road, not to let themselves get in the way of the official.

But the officers and soldiers did not intend to just let them go.

An officer and soldier shouted at Zhou Yu: "Who are you? Have you ever met a troupe from Jizhou?"

When the villagers heard this, their hearts tightened, and they timidly lowered their heads and shook their heads violently.

"Are you dumb?" The officers and soldiers were dissatisfied with the reaction of the villagers, and snapped, "I'm asking you guys something! Have you seen the theater troupe?"

The villagers were shaken by the yelling. When the people saw the officials, even if it was just a few small officers and soldiers, it seemed that there was a high step between them, which made them retreat subconsciously, and even wanted to kneel uncontrollably. .

Because these officers and soldiers can easily control their fate, and the officers and soldiers can use the power in their hands to make the lives of these small people worse than death for any reason!

The submissiveness of the villagers made the officers and soldiers even more angry.

It was a good-tempered officer and soldier next to him who persuaded him, so he didn't make any moves.

But just like this, the villagers were also terrified.

Zhou Yu was better, and kept his sense, warning the villagers to keep their mouths shut.

The villagers nodded in horror, saying that they would not reveal the whereabouts of Chief Xu even if they were killed, so Zhou Yu felt relieved.

But he also knew that the officer and soldier would not just let them go.

And the people in the village also knew that it was easy not to let them speak, but if they were told to lie, they would definitely be spotted by the officers and soldiers before they could speak.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath, thinking that he had seen the piles of corpses last night, so he was afraid that there would be a few survivors?
Gathering up his courage, the officer and soldier plopped down on his knees just before the limit of his patience, "Don't be angry, my lord. I, we are all country people. It's the first time I saw such a majestic lord. I couldn't react immediately. I still look forward to seeing you!" The adults forgive me."

Zhou Yu was stuttering at the beginning, but then he became more and more smooth, because he found that lying is much easier than he imagined.

His eyes quickly turned to the officers and soldiers in front of him. Eight of them were riding horses. The legs of the horses were all muscular, and they could run fast at a glance.

Thinking of Xu Yue and the others who had just left, Zhou Yu decided to delay as long as he could. He only hoped that the three old cows in the troupe would be fast enough so that they would not be caught up by these fast horses.

The irritable officer and soldier heard Zhou Yu say that he was overwhelmed by the prestige of himself and others. Although he knew that there was a compliment in his words, he really enjoyed it. His hands that were about to draw his sword loosened, and he still asked coldly:
"Have you ever seen any suspicious people from outside, such as driving an ox cart and bringing two fat kids with the theater troupe?"
