513 Promises
Seeing that the team was in order, Xu Yue began to handle business.
It's a pity that none of the villagers can write, even Lizheng's son Zhou Yu can only write his own name.
Xu Yue had no choice but to ask for information and register, and by the way, she had to sign the contract for the villagers.
At the end of the signature part, if you can't write, you will use a fingerprint instead.
Because they don't know how to read, the villagers always have to ask Xu Yue over and over again for the same question, for fear that there will be a huge amount of high interest in this contract and they will be pitted.
However, as soon as Huang Cancan's golden cake was in his hands, the vigilance of the villagers instantly turned to zero, and they didn't care about anything, they got the money first.
Xu Yue is not worried that they will not repay the money, and when the Xu family army takes Jizhou, she will set up a Xu family people's money bank, and let a special person handle the business of these money banks. Don't you think!
In one morning, Xu Yue lent out a total of 60,000 yuan, and some villagers were timid, afraid that they would not be able to pay it back, so they conservatively borrowed 1 or 2,000 yuan.
bold and big, like Zhou Yu, who borrowed 10,000 yuan in one go.
With the money, the villagers did not delay for a moment and immediately left the village to buy grain in the town.
Xu Yue and the others were delayed for a morning because of the loan, and they hurriedly nibbled some dry food at noon, and then set off again.
In order to save time, he did not take the abandoned dirt road again, boldly drove onto the official road, and separated from Zhou Yu and others who were going to the town at the intersection.
Xu Yue and the others went first, and Zhou Yu led the villagers to gratefully see Xu Yue and the others go away, so he suppressed this heavy kindness and turned around and walked towards the opposite town of Xu Yue and the others.
Holding the heavy golden cake in his arms, the villagers were excited and secretly looked forward to the victory of the Xu family's army.
If they have the opportunity to be useful at that time, they will definitely fully support Xu Jiajun!
Because the villagers found that Xu Jiajun was really fighting for the rights and interests of the poor people.
The leader of the Xu family army risked his life to enter Jizhou, just to understand the situation of the people here.
She didn't have to do this, she just left these things to her subordinates.
But she came, and not only came, but also saved them and showed them the way to live.
Xu Jiajun is not at all like the red turban army that made a lot of trouble in the past, shouting that the sky is dead and the yellow sky should stand, but if the villagers encounter it, it must be a round of bloodbath.
Xu Jiajun will regard the people as compatriots, and they have been fighting hard for the freedom and rights of their compatriots, even at the cost of their lives.
How can this friendship not be touched?
Zhou Yu sighed to the villagers more than once, "I have never seen such a king, other kings are sitting in gorgeous palaces, eating minced meat, watching the dancing queen have fun." ”
In order to reduce the sacrifices of the soldiers, she personally came to Jizhou to find out the local situation for the soldiers in advance...... She, she's so good, there's no frame at all. ”
Zhou Yu was poor in words, distressed that he had little reading and no education, and he couldn't say the gorgeous rhetoric to praise the leader.
"Do you say she's so good because she's a woman?" Zhou Yu asked the villagers what they thought.
The villagers nodded their heads, but they didn't quite agree.
"There is no distinction between men and women, Leader Xu is so good because she is good, she really wants to let the big guy live well, I thought about it all night last night, and I couldn't figure out why she wanted to help us."
The only woman in the village lamented, "How can there be such a person in this world who is willing to fight for unrelated people?" I thought about it, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it......"
Zhou Yuyan said enviously: "But it is precisely because of such a person that we were hopeless last night, and we didn't even dare to live that we have hope of rebuilding the village." ”
The villagers couldn't help but look back in the direction where the troupe left, where Xu Jiajun had long gone, but the villagers still watched for a long time, and then reluctantly withdrew their gaze.
"Drive!"
The sound of drinking horses suddenly came from the road ahead, and Zhou Yu and the others were startled and hurriedly avoided the roadside.
They were ragged, emaciated, and had a poor look on their faces, and several officers and soldiers who came on horseback glanced at them casually, thinking that they were homeless people from somewhere.
As soon as they saw several tall officers and soldiers on horses, Zhou Yu and the others chuckled in their hearts.
They tried to hide on the side of the road so that they would not get in the way of the official's affairs.
But the officers and soldiers did not intend to let them go like this.
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.
"Dumb?" The officers and soldiers were dissatisfied with the reaction of the villagers, and scolded sharply: "What do you ask you about!" I've never seen a troupe! ”
The villagers were shaken by the roar, and the people saw the officials, even if it was just a few small officers and soldiers, as if there were a high staircase in the middle, which pressed them to 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 little people worse than death, and there will be no return!
The submissive appearance of the villagers made the officers and soldiers even more angry.
It was a good-natured officer and soldier next to him who persuaded him, so he didn't make any moves.
But just like that, the villagers were terrified.
Zhou Yu was better, kept a little sane, and warned the villagers to keep their mouths shut.
The villagers nodded in horror, saying that they would not tell the whereabouts of Leader Xu if they were killed, so Zhou Yu was relieved.
But he also knew that this officer and soldier would not just let them go.
And the people in the village also knew that it was easy to prevent them from speaking, but if they were allowed to lie, they would definitely be recognized 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, and he was afraid that a few living people would not succeed?
Summoning up his courage, he knelt down at the moment before the limit of the officer's patience, "My lord, I am angry, I am all countrymen, and it is the first time I have seen such a majestic adult, and I can't react at once, and I hope that several adults will forgive me." ”
Zhou Yu stumbled before, but later it became smoother and smoother, because he found that lying was much easier than he imagined.
His eyes quickly glanced at the officers and soldiers in front of him, eight people, all riding horses, and the horse's legs were full of strong muscles, and they ran fast at a glance.
Thinking of Xu Yue and the others who had just left, Zhou Yu decided to delay a little time if he could, just hoping that the three old cows in the troupe would be fast enough and not be caught up by these fast horses.
The irascible officer and soldier heard Zhou Yu say that he was shocked by the majesty of himself and others, although he knew that there was a compliment in his words, but his heart was really useful, and the hand that was about to draw the sword was loosened, and he still asked coldly:
"What strange and suspicious people have you seen, such as the troupe driving an ox cart and bringing two fat babies?"
