I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven

Listening to the faint screams of death coming from Cui Mansion, Ji Mingyuan's eyebrows couldn't help but beat fiercely.

So cruel!

There is no room for relaxation at all.

The National Salvation Army had no intention of arresting them and taking them to court. They came directly to confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans.

Which company would conduct a trial like this?

Just listen to what the plaintiff says without giving the defendant a chance to argue.

Sure enough, the previous trial was just a reason that was put out in the open and given to the public.

Ji Mingyuan's lips twitched slightly, and a sense of sadness arose in his heart.

"Huh~!"

Taking a deep breath, Ji Mingyuan left here quickly.

He knew that the Cui family, as well as a dozen other families, were completely ruined.

From now on, the Lintao Mansion will completely change. Everything must be done in accordance with the rules of the dynasty. No family or anyone dares to make a stumbling block.

In fact, he still underestimated the Dynasty and the People's Salvation Army.

In the next day, there were twenty or thirty wealthy businessmen of all sizes in Lintao Prefecture, as well as many foreign landowners who had moved in before.

Anyone who had some bad deeds and was hostile to the rescue army would have their homes confiscated one by one by the dynasty.

Those who committed great crimes were immediately taken to the execution ground and beheaded together with the prefect Ma Wenchang.

Those who did not commit serious crimes were sent to labor reform, including the family members of those who were beheaded.

With the power that the dynasty now has, it no longer needs to care too much about the grievances of some ordinary people.

Therefore, the dynasty, which was short of a large number of manpower, directly sentenced them to forced labor.

What's more, what the dynasty does is not killing, but intimidation and money.

Now that you have got what you want, it doesn't matter whether you kill others or not.

Except for the Cui family, which was basically wiped out, most of the other small powerful families, except for the evil ones, were sent to labor camps.

After learning of this verdict, people all over the city began to praise the dynasty's benevolent name.

If this was applied to the government and the general rebel army, it would definitely be the real confiscation of homes and genocide.

At least, at least, the men are given out and the women are sent to places like brothels.

But the Dynasty actually only dragged him to work, and it was said that he could be released after working for a certain number of years.

How kind and lenient is this?

As for the number of years, that is decided by the dynasty. It is impossible for them to leave before they harbor resentment or no longer need them.

Time flew by, and soon it was evening.

The newly appointed head of Lintao Prefecture's Sentencing and Prosecution Department is Zhou Bingli.

I am asking about the dynasty's treatment of those reform-through-labor prisoners.

“Chief, if those men go to build roads and build cities, there will be no problem.

But those women don’t seem to be efficient at doing these jobs.

Otherwise, we should follow the previous practice and put them into a brothel.

Just like the Jiaofangsi established by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty."

"."

Chao Chao stared at him speechlessly.

"Why do you think that reform through labor requires building cities and roads?"

"Ah~? What else can we do?"

"What?

Do those reform-through-labor prisoners and road construction teams need to eat? "

"Need it?"

"Can't those women cook?"

"Hey~? Yes!"

Zhou Bingli's eyes lit up and he immediately nodded heavily.

"Well, things like cooking, spinning and weaving, tailoring and making clothes, etc. Aren't these all what women are good at?"

"As for whether those eldest ladies will.

No one is born with this ability

Moreover, some of them may be better at needlework, knitting and embroidery than the average person.

We can definitely set up a clothing workshop and then sell it to outsiders.

At that time, some value can always be created.

Prisoners cannot eat and drink for free.”

"Wouldn't it be more profitable to establish the Jiaofang Division?"

Wang Chao's face turned solemn and he said solemnly.

"Remember, we are the people's salvation army, the army that saves all peoples.

But you can't do things that harm women.

If they make a mistake, they can be punished, but they cannot be insulted. "

Looking at Zhou Bingli who was chatting away, Wang Chao couldn't help but look thoughtful.

In this Ming Dynasty, it may not be as patriarchal as in the later Qing Dynasty, but the status of women is indeed far inferior to that of men.

The Dynasty doesn’t want to advocate gender equality now.

However, he is also willing to change a little bit.

Now, while all the forces are being purged and no one can compete with them, let's make some changes.

And since we want to change the situation of women, those brothels will naturally be the focus of the next change.

Coincidentally, in the previous purge of forces, brothels were also one of the key points.

After all, in an industry like ancient brothels, you have to say that there is no such thing as forcing girls into prostitution or violating laws and disciplines.

That's basically impossible.

Moreover, brothels are also a hugely profitable industry.

Naturally, the dynasty would not let them go, and basically all of them were cleaned up.

Nowadays, you can't even think of finding a brothel in the entire Lintao Prefecture.

Of course, the dynasty has no intention of completely banning it.

In today's context, that is not realistic.

There are even many women who have no choice but to sell themselves out in order to make a living.

However, it's okay to make some changes.

For example, they must sign a voluntary document of relative equality, and they must not be forced to drink and sleep with each other, etc.

And if you want to leave, the brothel cannot stop you, and you only need to pay liquidated damages.

At the same time, if the brothel wants to fire, it also needs to pay liquidated damages.

Dynasty would rather build it into a truly elegant entertainment venue.

As for whether some people don't accept it.

Now in the entire Lintao Mansion, if he says one, no one dares to say two.

There are also those servants and servants who have re-signed relatively equal employment contracts for me. They must pay commissions. If they want to leave, they cannot be stopped, but they also need to pay liquidated damages.

If you are dismissed, you will also need to pay liquidated damages.

I, a descendant of the Chinese nation, will never become a slave and be forced and humiliated by others.

This is what he should do as a Chinese and the lord of the land.

He has no control over other places, but in the territory under his jurisdiction, things must be done according to his rules.

Especially with the big weapons such as national destiny, public grievances, and official positions, people can see the general situation of a place, and they can also relatively restrain officials.

This kind of reform of the dynasty was basically consistent from top to bottom. Coupled with the intimidation of the People's Salvation Army, basically no one dared to resist.

And since you can't resist, you can only obey.

Over time, this has become the default routine for everyone, instead of the bad habits of the past, such as buying and selling people.

Looking at the outside world, the bright yellow national destiny is gradually getting stronger, and only a few strands of gray-black public resentment are still floating around the city.

Most of these places were the family members of wealthy merchants. Because they had not committed any unforgivable crimes, the dynasty did not execute them, but arranged for them to work for free in various places.

And how could these people not feel the slightest resentment against the dynasty and the People's Salvation Army when they suddenly encountered a big change?

But for them, the dynasty no longer cares much about them, and they can't make any trouble.

The vast majority of the people are still grateful and blessing him and their people's salvation army. Now it can be said that the people's hearts are attached to him.

Of course, if they want to truly win over the people, they have to wait until they win a few more battles and completely occupy this place.

But no matter what, he must be worthy of the blessings and gratitude of the people, right?

Don't talk about everything, arrange everything for them.

But we should try our best to give them a soil for survival and a chance for improvement, right?

And this kind of soil for survival and opportunities for advancement naturally include everyone, whether old or young, male or female.

Although Dynasty's actions this time were a little rough and violent.

However, the rewards are indeed considerable.

Even if they worked overtime, it took them more than a day to complete the inventory.

There are also many antique calligraphy and paintings whose value has not been estimated.

There is nothing that can be done about it, none of them understand that.

It wasn't until the third day that the proceeds from the house confiscation were barely counted.

"Fifty thousand taels of gold.

Ten million taels of silver.

A total of twelve million taels.

food supplies”

Listening to the report below, Wang Chao's thoughts drifted a little far.

How come there are so many?

You know, this is just a city.

According to historical records of previous generations, the king of Chuang Li Zicheng broke into BJ and only recovered 70 million taels of silver.

And there are still people who are skeptical about this and think there are not that many.

However, in a mere city of Lintao Prefecture, more than 12 million taels of gold and silver were found.

Moreover, this does not include those fixed land properties, antique calligraphy and paintings.

This is really unreasonable.

But gradually, Chao Chao also sorted out his thinking.

Under normal circumstances, it should be impossible to find so much gold and silver in a city.

However, some time ago, agricultural cooperatives expanded rapidly outside the city, causing a large number of landowners, wealthy rural households, etc. to all move into the city.

As the center of a government, Fucheng is naturally the top priority.

Even the wealthy families in the city may have transferred the gold and silver stored in their hometowns and other places to Lintao Mansion.

It can be said that the gold and silver in Lintao Mansion now includes the money of all wealthy landowners in Lintao Mansion and surrounding Lintao Mansion.

Because of this, Dynasty and the others were able to copy so many.

As for the dignitaries in Beijing during the Jiashen Incident, they probably wouldn't put all their gold and silver in Beijing, right?

There must be more gold and silver belongings placed in his hometown and other places.

In this way, 70 million taels of silver can be copied in Beijing, which shows that the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen of the Ming Dynasty were really rich.

Thinking of this, the dynasty was no longer so surprised that he could receive more than 10 million taels of gold and silver from Lintao Mansion.

And with so much more gold and silver, the dynasty can completely develop its hands and feet.

Recruit craftsmen, recruit soldiers, and more.

If he throws a lot of gold and silver at it, he won't believe that he can't recruit talents.

Even those literati, I'm afraid some can't help it, right?

But all this will be said after he has defeated the officers and soldiers in Weiyuan County and Shouyang Pass, and roughly sorted out the occupied territory.

After asking people to deposit the gold and silver into the warehouse, Wang Chao summoned Li Hei again and asked him about the situation in Weiyuan County.

"County Magistrate Wuchang has become the acting magistrate of Weiyuan County under the recommendation of Zheng Wanchun.

Because of the threat of the Salvation Army, those officers and soldiers were honest at first and did not do anything that disturbed the people.

However, in recent times, those officers and soldiers have gradually let go, and eating, smashing and looting have become commonplace. Many people are miserable and look forward to the arrival of my Salvation Army."

"Well, it's time to clean them up."

"Jiang Bo!"

"Here!"

"Go, call the sentry chiefs to discuss matters."

After everyone arrived, Wang Chao got straight to the point and told the current situation again.

Finally, some arrangements were made, leaving a sentry of 200 soldiers and recruiting 10,000 new soldiers to guard Lintao Prefecture and assist Wang Zhongyuan and others in managing Lintao Prefecture.

Wang Chao took the remaining 800 regular troops to Weiyuan County to wipe out the officers and soldiers entrenched there, and then worked together with Wang Dahu to wipe out the officers and soldiers in Shouyang Pass.
