Chapter 7 Xu Chaoyang, the head of the fiefdom family
The entire square gradually became quiet, and the crowds were clearly organized.
In the open space under the central platform, there are more than 1,500 children who have been counted, as well as the children of the head of the Xu family, the children of the branch family, and of course Jin Yu'er who have just stepped down from their seats.
Outside are the four major families in Ruyang, then the small aristocratic families and small families below them, and then the powerful squires, and the outermost are the common people, who are the largest in number.
Although the square was crowded with people, it gradually became quiet.
Prime Minister Xu Yan stood on the platform and said loudly: "The master of the family is here."
Many people noticed that there seemed to be a breeze blowing above their heads, and there was already an additional person on the Taoist platform. It was Xu Chaoyang, the head of the Xu family and the ultimate master of the day after tomorrow.
When people from several major families saw this, their pupils shrank and their expressions became serious.
The one who came from the Guo family was a foreign affairs deacon named Guo Renhou. His martial arts practice had also reached the sixth level, but it was not perfect.
At this moment, seeing the speed of Xu Chaoyang's movement, his face changed slightly. He looked at each other with Bai Fanyu and Jin Qingdi, and they all saw the meaning in each other's eyes.
"Xu Chaoyang has reached the peak of the day after tomorrow! I'm afraid he can be the number one master in Ruyang County!"
Bai Fanyu looked good. After all, his Bai family also had Bai Xiuyu, who was also a fifth-grade Taoist. The Jin family had always shown goodwill to the Xu family, and the two families were constantly getting married and were extremely close.
Guo Renhou's face was heavy. The Guo family had not produced an innate warrior for hundreds of years, but in this generation, first Xu Chaoyang of the Xu family had fifth-grade Taoism, and then Bai Xiuyu of the Bai family had the talent to measure the fifth-grade Taoism!
If Xu Chaoyang breaks through Xiantian, the Ruyang County governor may have to be replaced.
Although there was an imperial decree to seal the land first, the Chu imperial court had inherited it for thousands of years, and the vast land of hundreds of millions of miles in the eleven states of the world had already been sealed. With new families, it was natural to eliminate the weak families. This was normal.
"The Xu family did not entertain us well, please forgive me."
Xu Chaoyang spoke gently to several members of the big families, but some of them said they did not dare.
They can hold it in front of Xu Xiao, Xu Chen and others, but when Xu Chaoyang comes, they must show them the greatest respect.
This is the foundation and strength of the family.
Those wealth, fields, fiefdoms, and slaves are just appearances. Behind all of this, there are only two words, strength. This is the truth.
"The head of the family announced that the Xu family's pulse test has officially begun."
Xu Chao
Yang Yun started his martial arts, and his voice spread throughout the square, without any nonsense.
After saying this, he walked to the seat next to the head of the Xu family and sat on it, while Xu Xiao, the young head of the family, sat under him.
The common people, merchants and gentry did not react much when they saw the head of the fiefdom.
Xu Chaoyang meditates all the year round, and the people under these fiefdoms have rarely seen him. On the contrary, Xu Xiao, as the young head of the family, guards Zhenhai City and commands hundreds of warriors, which makes them more in awe.
Seeing the head of the fiefdom at this time would at most satisfy their curiosity. However, compared to the superior head of the house, they were more afraid of the guards and the navy.
What these ordinary people care most about is whether their children have Taoist heritage and whether they can reach the sky and become a member of the establishment class. This is what they care about most.
The children lined up and, under the leadership of the Zhenhai army, began to take their pulse.
The first person to measure the pulse was a boy from a peasant family. He was led by Zhen Haijun to the pulse measuring stone platform and stood there at a loss.
Xu Yan sat under the platform, glanced at Xu Cheng, the deputy commander of the Zhenhai Navy who was in charge of statistics, and said: "If you can't get up, help him get up."
"Yes, sir."
Xu Cheng gave an order, and the two town navy soldiers carried the helpless peasant boy onto the stone platform.
The whole audience was silent, looking at the stone platform. The pulse-measuring stone platform sensed someone sitting on it, and the power of Wu Bao was triggered, and a faint white halo gradually spread from its center.
This aperture is extremely conspicuous, and the white blazing light is clearly visible even in daylight.
The parents of this tiger-headed child clasped their hands behind and watched intently.
Suddenly, the circle of light trembled again, spread out, and turned into two blazing white circles!
Then it stabilized and stopped shaking.
"Liu Shicong, Ninth Grade Dao Meridian!" the soldier in charge of reading out said loudly.
"Dao Meridian! My Cong'er has Dao Meridian!" Liu Shicong's parents cried with joy. From now on, the child will be trained by the Xu family, and the child's parents will be given generous rewards.
When the children grow up, they will join the establishment class and receive the Xu family's salary!
What's more, being able to legally own slaves and servants is like reaching the sky in one step!
The tiger-headed Liu Shicong was still in a daze on the stone platform. He was picked up by Zhen Haijun. The five or six-year-old child finally came to his senses and ran to his parents excitedly, shouting: "Dad,
Mom, I have Taoism! "
The people around him were not surprised by this, and there was even some envy hidden in their eyes.
The family members in the center of the square had expressionless faces.
It's just a ninth-grade Taoism. Although it is a change in the fate of those civilians, it is nothing to them.
"Xu Lu, no path!"
A circle of white light represents the Wu Dao Meridian, and two circles of white light represents the Ninth Grade Dao Meridian.
The pulse test is still going on.
"Zhang Jingcong has no moral integrity!"
"..."
Taoism is not so easy to possess, and the first case, Liu Shicong, seems to be an exception.
Next, there were more than a hundred children in a row, all of whom had no path!
Even the lowest ninth-grade Taoist can enjoy a lifetime of food and drink after joining the establishment, which is much higher than that of the ordinary class.
The loss in the eyes of these parents of children without moral connections is clearly visible, in stark contrast to their previous full of hope.
A few hours have passed, and more than a thousand people have completed their pulse measurement. There are 19 people with ninth-grade Taoism and one person with eighth-grade Taoism. These children were separated and stood separately. The joy on their parents' faces was almost Can't hide it.
Especially the parents of the eighth-grade Dao Meridian owner raised their heads and chests with excitement.
After all, if you are an eighth-grade Daoist and practice martial arts diligently, you may be able to join the Zhenhai Mansion Army!
Among the Zhenhai Mansion's troops, all warriors are one to ten, and against ordinary people, they can even be one to one hundred!
Not only is the salary high, but there are also many benefits, including houses, fields, and slaves!
There are only more than 300 people in the Zhenhai navy. In the Xu family, they are guards and servants.
But outside, each of them is a big shot that ordinary people can't reach.
When it was finally time for the Xu family to separate and take a pulse test, the square was completely silent.
Everyone knows that this is the highlight of every pulse test. The chance of common people having Tao pulses is too low because almost none of their parents have Tao pulses.
As for the main family and branch families of the Xu family, almost all the parents have Taoist veins, and there are very few of them even at the ninth level. Most of them are at the eighth level, and there are even seventh- and sixth-grade Taoism.
Therefore, there will be surprises for their children every time. Generally, even the worst-successful people from the Xu family will have the talent of the ninth grade.
