After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 52

An embarrassed smile appeared on Liu Jiejie's face, "Hey, it's not a big deal. It's just Xu Er's mother-in-law. I don't know how much money she gave to Team Leader Zhao. I was wondering what deal these two people had reached. Zhao The class leader asked us not to embarrass the Xu family too much. Anyway, I have to take over the shift with Ming Xiaoshuang tomorrow, and from now on, you and Ming Xiaoshuang will be in charge of the Xu family."

Huang Yazi patted his chest in fear. He was convinced at the moment and cursed: "That woman is really smart. Before she was exiled, her family must have stuffed them with banknotes. She said she could spend money to solve the problem. Why don't you just come to me and give me the money?" I, let me treat the Xu family as my ancestors!"

Liu Jiejie ignored Huang Yazi's teasing. Seeing that he believed it, he continued: "No. I have to work. Leader Zhao just called me over and gave me a scolding. At first, I thought the Xu family had found some way, or maybe It was Team Leader Zhao who heard something and was so scared that my legs went weak."

Huang Yazi felt the same and immediately echoed: "Don't tell me, I am the same. The people at the top hide half of what they say and do. It makes the brothers below us think wildly and almost think their lives are in danger."

"Hey, that's all. Who told Mr. Xu that he had the ability to take a young lady from the Lian family as his mother-in-law? We are different. It would be great if he could find a yellow girl in this life..."

Liu Jiejie squinted his eyes to look at Huang Yazi's face, and saw that he seemed to be thinking. He thought about it for a moment, and quietly added a dose of strong ingredients, "It's a pity, Brother Huang, the wife who got it is gone, and the Xu family The eldest lady looks like a flower. I wonder which widower in the country will be favored in the future..."

Huang Yazi was a little unhappy, "Things are not certain yet."

But he didn’t want to say more about the latter.

Huang Yazi thought, a married daughter is just like water thrown away. Even if Mrs. Xu's natal family is powerful, is it possible that even the adults can take care of Qianzhou, which is thousands of miles away?Although he was just a small official, it was much better than farming in the countryside. The eldest daughter of the Xu family followed him, so she was barely a good match.

Furthermore, if he uses some means to bring people back to Bianjing and connects with the Lian family, won't he have a bright future?
The more Huang Yazi thought about it, the more feasible it became. He was instantly carried away by the rights brought by hugging the big tree of the Lian family, and completely ignored other risks.For Huang Yazi, as long as he can build a road with the Lian family, what other risks are there? What can be done in this world without risks?
If you are not willing to be killed, how can you bring down the emperor?

Liu Jiejie didn't ignore the glint in Huang Yazi's eyes. Knowing that he was tempted, he pretended to ask, "Is it possible that Brother Huang hasn't given up on the eldest daughter of the Xu family yet?"

Huang Yazi naturally refused to tell the truth, so he squinted his eyes and said half-truthfully, "Think about it, it's not illegal to think about it..."

Liu Jie smiled understandingly.

Very good, you always need a helper when it comes to killing people.

Without forcing Huang Yazi, without leading Huang Yazi to make unforgivable mistakes, how could Huang Yazi help him deal with the Xu family with all his heart?

The Xu family's hot and sour noodles have been given away to many people, including those from the Fang family, the Li family, and even a few team leaders.

Even Liu Jie, who never dealt with him, gave him a bowl.

Of course, this was opposed by almost everyone, except for Lian and the fourth aunt who stood by her.

The fourth aunt rarely spoke, "A bowl of hot and sour noodles is not a big deal. Why bother to show that we hold grudges? After all, we will still be under his control from now on. It would be too ugly to make a fuss..."

The eldest uncle had a different idea, "It was originally a grudge. The second brother killed his parents, and Liu Jiejie didn't think about how to kill us. It's good. Although it's just a bowl of noodles, but what's the point of giving it away? He can forget about it. Revenge for killing your mother?"

The eldest aunt also said: "It's all because of the second brother who killed a thousand swords. He has become an official and is still so greedy. He forced his own mother to death. This Liu Jiejie will definitely not let us go."

Huang sighed, grabbed Xu Deyuan and cursed: "Second brother, you are blinded by lard, how could you do such a thing? We suffered so much from the magistrate who stripped us of our skin back then, and we didn't expect you to be able to do anything that will be famous forever. A good official, no matter what you do, you can’t harm other people’s lives——”

Xu Deyuan was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head. When he saw his relatives looking at him with such unfamiliar eyes, a burst of resentment surged in his heart.

It's all because he was dismissed from office.

If it were in the past, no matter what he did, these people would never dare to point fingers like they do now.

"If you ask me, just hand over the second child." The eldest aunt's eyes flickered, "Liu Jiejie hates only the second child. Let's hand over the second child and let him be beaten and scolded, so that Liu Jiejie can calm down. ——”

Xu Degui immediately defended his brother, "Sister-in-law, how could you say such a thing?"

The eldest uncle glanced at Xu Deyuan and agreed very much with Huang Cui'e. He snorted coldly, "Third brother, you are stupid! You don't even think about it. When we arrive in Qianzhou, we have to find someone to settle down. Once we settle down, we need to open up wasteland and plant food. You have to pay the tax. If Liu Jie gets in the way, all he needs to do is say hello casually and he will keep us from going around!"

Xu Degui retorted: "He is a small official, how can he have such great power!"

"Third brother has lived in the city for a long time. I'm afraid he has forgotten that when we were in the countryside, let alone a minor official, just a word of explanation can make it difficult for you to live in the village."

"But the second brother is a sibling, how can we hand him over to Liu Jiejie?"

"Then we, as a whole, will suffer with him? We have already been implicated in his exile. What's the matter, this is not enough? We have to pay for the rest of our lives to be worthy of him, Xu Deyuan? Third brother, is the second room your home, or is it your home? The third bedroom is your home? You don’t even look at yourself. Who among your wife and children are of the same mind as you? It is said that people will be punished if they don’t care for themselves. I think the third child has lost his mind and doesn’t care about his own affairs, so he goes to take care of them. The matter of the second room——"

Xu Degui wanted to refute, but saw Miao looking at him like that.There seems to be grievances and resentment...

He went to see Xu Huiming, but Xu Huiming's eyes dodged and she didn't seem to approve.

He went to see Xu Qingying again. Xu Qingying still had that indifferent smile on her face, which inexplicably affected his sensitive nerves and made him feel uncomfortable all over.

He had only been in exile for a few days, so why were Miao and his children so alienated from him?

Xu Zhenying also didn't expect that just because of a bowl of hot and sour noodles, so many disputes would be involved.She had no intention of getting involved in these household chores, so she just walked to the window sill behind Datong Shop, found a secluded place, and sat casually on the steps with the help of the weak candlelight in the room.

She took off her stockings and saw that the areas where blisters had appeared on her ten toes had all turned pink again. She believed that after a while, all of them would develop calluses.

On the seventh day of her exile, her body seemed to have adapted to such high-intensity exercise. From the initial soreness all over her body to the current numbness, her mind gradually began to become clearer.

She never knew why she traveled here, nor did she know what kind of mission fate had arranged for her.

Like other time-travelers, changing the world and history?
She had never thought about it that way. She originally thought about finding a way out after arriving in Qianzhou.But what happened to Li Zhaodi made something keep flashing in her mind, and she seemed unable to suppress it.That feeling of powerlessness and unwillingness almost tore her apart.

She was thinking, does she have the ability to change this dynasty?

But if she does nothing, will she become the next Li Zhaodi?Will she just have to endure it like today, stuff herself into a mold, and then completely become an ancient person?

If so, what should she do?
Raise an uprising and overthrow the Zhou Dynasty?
"The Art of War" by Sun Tzu says: To drive a thousand chariots, to carry a thousand leather chariots, to carry a hundred thousand armors, and to provide food for thousands of miles; then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the materials of glue and paint, the support of chariots and armors, cost a thousand gold per day, and then A hundred thousand troops have been raised.

Sun Tzu all said that we need people, money and food.In the Zhou Dynasty, where did her soldiers come from, where did her money come from, and where did her food come from?

How did she start a war, displace thousands of people, and rebuild her regime on top of the ruins after the war?
Just thinking about it makes me realize what a huge project it is.The more I think about it, the more painful I feel.

When Mrs. Miao came over, she saw Xu Zhenying sitting on the steps in a daze.

She seemed to be thinking about something, her brows furrowed, her eyes seemed to be far away, and her whole body was filled with a cold feeling, as if she did not belong to this world and would fly away in the next second.

Miao's heart was in vain, and she suddenly realized that the quiet and charming Ying'er really died in the prison that day.As for the one in front of me, the body is Qingying, but could there be a different person inside?

She paused there, not daring to take a step forward.

Xu Zhenying turned around and saw Mrs. Miao, her face returned to the familiar look of the past, "Mom, why are you here?"

Miao came back to her senses and said, "Captain Zhao said that the inn's bunkhouse can't accommodate so many people, and some people have to sleep in hammocks on the trees outside. Those who want to sleep on the bunkhouse must pay ten cents to Captain Zhao. You four Aunt asked me to ask your opinion."

In fact, Mrs. Miao was also shocked that her sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law all asked her to ask Qingying for her opinion on such a matter.

This was never possible before.

Miao felt that something was changing quietly, but she couldn't explain what it was.

"How much money do we have left in our hands?"

"Excluding the 20 taels for the donkey cart, we were 15 taels short of the 15 taels we found before we set out, so there are almost [-] taels left."

"15 taels." Xu Zhenying said thoughtfully, "That's not enough."

"It's not enough. The things sent by the Zheng family can only last for a month or two. We still have to go to the town to replenish the goods. After arriving in Qianzhou, we have to do a lot of shopping. 15 taels... is a drop in the bucket." She wanted to mention that the Lian family should have some private money, but she also guessed that it was given by Mr. Lian. How could she, as the wife of the Xu family, open her mouth to ask for something given by her father-in-law?
Xu Zhenying said simply and clearly: "Everyone will sleep in the Datong bunk tonight. It's November soon, and the temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is huge. If you get sick sleeping in a hammock outside, the cost will be more than ten cents. Don't penny wise and pound."

Miao naturally understood this truth, but she couldn't be cruel, "We don't have much money, and the men in the family are strong, why not let them sleep in hammocks, while the elderly and children squeeze into the Datong bunkhouse?"

Xu Zhenying shook his head, "The men in the family have to wear shackles weighing dozens of kilograms during the day, which is beyond the body's load. If they catch a cold, they will get sick more easily. What's more, the eldest aunt's family is full of men, so she will not agree to this plan. . In order to prevent the bowl of water from being uneven, I simply spent all my money to sleep in a Datong bunk."

Miao gritted her teeth, thinking of Miao's noisy temper, and finally gave in, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Mom, what we need now is not to reduce expenditure, but to increase revenue. In other words... we need to make money."

"Earn money? How to make money?" Mrs. Miao felt that Xu Qingying was too whimsical and couldn't help but remind her, "We are exiled prisoners now!"

"It's said to be an exile, but it's not Team Leader Zhao who has the final say in all the rules? Along the way, you only need to stamp and hand over at each station, and no one will notice the exiled team. As long as Team Leader Zhao is in charge, It is not difficult for the peace ministers to do something."

"But what about the remaining people? If we make money, who wouldn't be jealous?"

"Then drag them all aboard our pirate ship——"

At this point, Miao was already a little frightened. She felt that Xu Qingying seemed to be serious and said quickly: "Ying'er, what on earth are you going to do that requires so many people?"

Xu Zhenying searched his mind before asking: "Mom, have you ever heard of soap?"

Miao shook her head, "What is that? I've only heard of saponaria."

"The functions are almost the same. They are all used for cleaning. Nowadays, most people in the Zhou Dynasty use soap locust, bath beans, plant ash, etc. to wash their clothes, but I have a recipe on hand that can make soap. It is a kind of grease. It looks like jade and is as translucent as a gemstone. It is delicate and smooth when used without hurting the hands, and leaves a lingering fragrance on the hands after use. I want to organize some people to make some soap and sell it in the state capital I pass by. Let's be more careful. , you won’t be caught in pigtails.”

Miao was stunned for a moment, then asked cautiously: "Where did you learn it?"

there?

Xu Zhenying smiled and then nodded.

Miao didn't know whether to agree or disagree. It was an indisputable fact that the family was short of money, but what Xu Qingying said made her feel terrified.

Miao was still worried, "What if... what if someone gets caught?"

Xu Qingying smiled, "Mom, who will care about an exiled team? Besides, as long as the interests are distributed properly and everyone is tied into a community of interests, then everyone will help us hide together. Besides, why are we arrested? It's because of us Selling things? Did the Zhou Dynasty have this law?"

Miao couldn't find a reason to refuse. She had been detained at home when she was a girl. After getting married, she devoted herself to raising her husband and raising children. Xu Deyuan took care of all business matters. She was a womanly person. They don't know anything about business.

"But we have never done business -" Miao was still making excuses.
