My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 110 My Rules
wow~
Five copper coins were spinning in Lu Xuan's hand, making constant clashing sounds.

Every impact of the copper coins seemed to hit the hearts of the people present. Everyone present was from a prominent family in Shangyang County. If one of them were released, they would be regarded as stomping and trembling figures in the entire Shangyang County.

However, at this moment, the fate of them and their whole family was like the five copper coins in Lu Xuan's hand, involuntarily and allowed to be played with.

The wrinkles on Cui Yuan's forehead were soaked with sweat, and the lottery tube in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

"Come here, offer some incense!" Lu Xuan looked at this scene and waved his hand without urging.

San Dao came in with an incense burner, placed it on the table in front of Lu Xuan, inserted a piece of sandalwood in it and ignited it.

"Mr. Cui, I'll give you time to think about it." Lu Xuan pointed to the sandalwood incense: "After this incense stick is burned, the copper coin in my hand will fall to the ground. Everyone is resigned to fate. Of course, there is another solution."

"Please give me your instructions, Commander-in-Chief!" A family head said quickly, and others also cast their expectant eyes on Lu Xuan.

Only Cui Yuan felt even heavier.

Although I don’t know what Lu Xuan is going to do, it is definitely not a good thing.

"Mr. Cui, how about you admit it to your family, let your family be punished, and let this game be over?" Lu Xuan looked at Cui Yuandao playfully: "Don't you want to be a good person? I'll give you a chance, and use your family in exchange for five Family, this is such a great merit, I think everyone here will definitely remember your kindness, and in the future, you will definitely leave a beautiful mark in the history of your life, Mr. Cui, how about it?"

Everyone looked at Cui Yuan with complicated eyes, with expectations, sympathy and even a bit of hatred.

They are all influential figures in Shangyang. Everyone knows very well that Lu Xuan is playing tricks on people's hearts and is targeting Cui Yuan. As long as Cui Yuan does not agree, even if he knows that this is Lu Xuan's intention, he will feel jealous of Cui Yuan in his heart. dissatisfied.

If your family dies, you can save at least four families. This is very cost-effective no matter how you calculate it. Why should everyone be buried with you because of your own selfishness?

From the data point of view, this idea is absolutely fine.

But in fact?
The choice is in Cui Yuan's hands. Will Cui Yuan trade the lives of his whole family for the lives of others?

If it was just him, it might be possible, but if it were the whole family, it would be difficult.

After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he stopped talking. He sat in his seat and waited quietly for the sandalwood to be burned. The sky outside the door had completely dimmed with the passage of time. The maids lit the lamps one by one. Above, the entire lobby is brightly lit, as bright as day.

After all, Cui Yuan did not choose to sacrifice his family in exchange for everyone's peace. Seeing that the sandalwood was almost burned out, Cui Yuan took a deep breath, took out a lot from the lottery tube and placed it on the table of a family head, without looking at the family head. Go to the next house.

The atmosphere in the lobby was extremely solemn, and everyone's breathing became rapid.

"Commander Commander, this is unfair. What if Cui Yuan deliberately uses this to exclude dissidents!?" The face of a family head who got the top ticket changed drastically, and he stood up and said loudly.

"This is your business. I told you that Mr. Cui is responsible for this matter. I can't control what he does!" Lu Xuan shook his head and smiled.

Cui Yuan was startled when he heard this. The three family heads who had already drawn the top lottery looked at Cui Yuan with hatred, while the others all focused their eyes on Cui Yuan.

Cui Yuan felt that the lottery tube in his hand was a little heavier.

If Lu Xuan had said this at the beginning, it would have been easy to handle. Just choose a few weakest ones, but now that's not possible.

You must know that no matter where you are, the upper class circle is so large. Everyone protects each other, intermarry, and forms alliances to form a seemingly solid circle. Now that three families have been destroyed because of him, Cui Yuan has to consider having close relationships with these three families. Will his family hate him for this?

Anyway, his move has offended many people, so it is better to eliminate some dissidents in advance and reduce some trouble in the future!

On the contrary, those wealthy businessmen have little involvement in this circle, so the remaining two places did not fall on them.

Everyone can understand the connection just by thinking about it. Several wealthy businessmen even looked grateful when they looked at Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuanming said on the surface that he would not help anyone, but in fact he used this method to focus on the three family heads. The wealthy businessmen sat at the end because of their status, but were not affected. It was tantamount to helping in disguise. got them.

Whether it was intentional or not, these wealthy businessmen were so grateful to Lu Xuan at this moment that they just bowed to him.

"Commander Commander, the poisoning was done by the Wu family and has nothing to do with us. Please take back the life of the Commander-in-Chief!" A family head looked at the signature in his hand and trembled. He suddenly stood up and pointed at another face-to-face man. The kind owner said loudly.

The head of the house turned pale when he heard this. He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Xuan.

"Don't make trouble, you don't want me to investigate the case, right?" Lu Xuan said with a smile: "I said, what I want today is an explanation. Someone must pay for the lives of my 34 brothers who died. As for who it is, I don't know who it is. important!"

"Why should I pay with my life for the evil he did!?" The head of the family shouted loudly.

"Maybe it's because of your bad luck." Lu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, the draw is over, San Dao!" "Yes!" San Dao stepped forward and intervened in a salute.

"Take all the family heads back and ask them to say goodbye to their families. Move quickly. The other family heads are still waiting to go back for dinner!" Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Without saying a word, San Dao asked someone to pick up the five hapless guys who were lying on the ground, turned around and left. The sound of dense footsteps sounded again outside the door. Everyone knew what they were going for, but at this moment everyone present, including Cui Inside Yuan, the fear and anxiety before were gone, and there was only a sense of joy in surviving the disaster.

It's just that it's not easy to express joy in this situation.

"Okay, as I said before, this matter is over here. If something similar happens in the future, I will invite you to come and draw lots." Lu Xuan knocked on the table to bring everyone back to their senses.

"Next, there is the issue of governance in Shangyang County! Regarding this, I have to explain to all the family heads the rules of my Guiyi Sect." Lu Xuan looked at everyone and said.

"Commander Commander, please speak!" Everyone quickly cheered up and looked at Lu Xuan.

"My rules are very simple, they are the people's support!" Lu Xuan sat in his seat and looked at the crowd and said: "The family property of the family that disappeared today will be confiscated. It belongs to my Guiyi Sect. Whoever touches it will , who will die? In addition, you should also make a registration. I want to know how many acres of land and shops you have in your home. If you find that there are more in the future, it will belong to my unified religion. Things registered in the register need to be taxed. In the past, It’s two taxes and one! Now that it’s more stable, let’s change it to three taxes and one.”

If it were before, everyone might still fight with Lu Xuan, but now, no one dares to fight, and they even feel a little relieved.

After all, everyone is aware of the taxes that Lu Xuan set for wealthy households in Sanyang County. Now that Lu Xuan has taken the initiative to reduce them, everyone is even a little bit happy.

"In addition, our religion has just occupied Shangyang County and lacks management talents. Each family has sent people to help manage it. I don't care how it is managed. I only have two requirements!" Lu Xuan turned over his hand and took out his prefect seal and said: "I can check it here. The luck of each county increases and decreases. The luck of my Guiyi Sect cannot be less, but more. Once there is a large-scale loss of luck, or if I hear remarks that are not conducive to my Guiyi Sect or myself, we will Let’s draw lots once, and I’ll draw the lots next time.”

"Besides, my taxes here cannot be reduced."

"Just these two things, won't it embarrass you all?" Lu Xuan asked with a smile while looking at everyone.

Everyone's expressions turned bitter after hearing this. In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Qian Dynasty, this method was also used to evaluate the performance of officials. At that time, it was green energy that protected the city, which was convenient for the court personnel to visually check, but the most it would be was to lose the official position, which would directly destroy the family. It’s something I’ve never done before.

Besides, this luck is also the people's support. If this thing wants to rise, the previous squeezing approach will naturally not work. It must benefit the people, really benefit the people!
But you can't just benefit the people. Those who can get into this position have actually studied human nature. Sometimes if you are too good to people, not only will you not be able to make the people grateful, but you will even repay kindness with hatred, which makes the people take it for granted.

Lu Xuan's two conditions seemed simple, but in fact they cut off most of everyone's previous financial paths.

Returning to poverty is not a problem. With everyone's current industrial base, even if they pay taxes in a regular manner, their wealth is enough for their families to live a prosperous life.

Lu Xuan left them a way to survive.

But as the old saying goes, it’s difficult to go from luxury to frugality!

How many people are willing to live such a miserable life if they are used to living the life of a local emperor who is above all living beings? What's more, not only is the life bad, but they also have to work for others.

If any official came over, they would refuse directly, and there was no discussion on the matter.

But facing Lu Xuan...

Do it or not?Don't do the lottery!

Do you want to do it or not?
"Very good!" Seeing that everyone was silent, Lu Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that there is no objection. From now on, Mr. Cui will be responsible for this aspect. Everyone can discuss the rest. We rough guys can No more interference.”

Lu Xuan stood up and looked at everyone and said: "It's too late today. Let's go to the county government tomorrow to do things. Whatever you need, you can figure it out yourself. Remember, if there is any loss in the reputation of me and the Guiyi Sect, I will I’m here to play games with you! This game is quite interesting and I want to play it a few more times!”

"Yes!" Everyone could only say yes. After such a commotion today, it would be difficult for these big families in Shangyang County to unite together again, and their strength was also killed by Lu Xuan in one go. At least a third of them were wiped out. If they wanted to resist Lu Xuan, It is almost impossible for Xuan to survive. He can only hope that the court will kill this evil spirit quickly.

Thinking back to the time when Lu Xuan opened a granary to put grain and Sun Fang refused when he sent someone to ask for grain, many people felt regretful. If they had known this, they should have fully supported Sun Fang.

But now, what's the use of saying this?Let's settle for the moment.

Such a domineering style is destined to last forever.

"Everyone, please disperse. I haven't prepared any food here, so I won't leave you to eat!" Lu Xuan waved his hand, indicating that everyone could leave.

Although they were not in the mood to eat, after hearing these words, everyone still cursed in their hearts. The prisoners on death row were given a meal without their head, but here it was better to drink a lot of tea!
