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

Hearing the faint shouting and screaming coming from Cui's mansion, Ji Mingyuan's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch violently.

So cruel!

There is no room for easing up.

Those rescue soldiers had no intention of taking them to court. They came directly to confiscate their property and exterminate their clan.

Which court would try a case like this?

Only listen to the plaintiff and do not give the defendant a chance to defend himself.

Now that I have got what I wanted, it doesn’t matter whether I kill others or not.

"As for whether those young ladies will...

No one is born knowing how to do it.

Moreover, some of them may be better at threading a needle, weaving clothes and embroidering than the average family.

We can just set up a clothing workshop and then sell it.

How come there are so many?

You know, this is just a provincial capital.

Over time, this has become the tacit norm for everyone, rather than the bad habits of the past, such as human trafficking.

As for the slaves and servants, they also had to sign new relatively equal employment contracts with me. They had to pay commissions, and if they wanted to leave, they could not be stopped. However, they still had to pay liquidated damages.

Time passed quickly and soon it was evening.

But no matter what, he has to be worthy of the people's blessings and gratitude, right?

Don't take on too much and arrange everything for them.

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

In the following day, twenty or thirty wealthy businessmen of all sizes from Lintao Prefecture, as well as many landlords who had moved in earlier, came.

With so much more gold and silver, the dynasty can develop freely.

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

How could these people, who were suddenly faced with such a great change, not have any resentment towards the dynasty and the people's salvation army?

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

But those women don't seem to be very efficient in doing these jobs.

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

"Why do you think that labor reform must involve building cities and roads?"

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

He didn't believe that he would not be able to recruit talents if he spent a lot of gold and silver.

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

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

But you must not do anything that would harm a woman.

Now, while all forces have been cleansed and no one can compete with them, let's make some changes.

Wang Chao naturally would not let it go, and basically all of them were cleaned out.

But gradually, Wang Chao sorted out his thoughts.

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

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

That’s why Wang Chao and his team were able to copy so much.

“Chief, there is no problem for those men to build roads and cities.

Otherwise, we should just follow the previous practice and send them to a brothel.

Wang Chao doesn't even think about promoting gender equality now.

"To!"

Except for a few large families like the Cui family, which were basically wiped out, most of the other small families, except for the leaders of the evil, were sent to labor camps.

As the center of a prefecture, the capital city is naturally the top priority.

"Go, call the chiefs of each sentry to discuss the matter."

"What?

Do those prisoners and road construction workers need to eat?"

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

Thinking of this, Wang Chao was not so surprised that he could collect more than 10 million taels of gold and silver in Lintao Prefecture.

Even so, they were able to extract 70 million taels of silver in Beijing, which shows that the high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in the Ming Dynasty were really rich.

Looking at the outside world, the bright yellow national destiny gradually became stronger, and only a few traces of the gray-black atmosphere of public resentment remained, still floating around the city.

"County Magistrate Wuchang has been nominated by Zheng Wanchun to become the acting magistrate of Weiyuan County.

Because of the threat from the Salvation Army, the officers and soldiers were initially quite honest and did not do anything that disturbed the people.

However, in recent times, those officers and soldiers have gradually let go, and eating, stealing, smashing and looting have become commonplace. Many people are suffering and are looking forward to the arrival of my army to save the people."

Moreover, brothels are a highly profitable industry.

Most of the people in these places were the families of wealthy and powerful businessmen. 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.

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

"Well, cooking, spinning, weaving, cutting and making clothes, etc., aren't these all things women are good at?"

What's more, what the dynasty did was not to kill, but to intimidate and provide money and food.

This is really hard to justify.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Mingyuan quickly left.

"Huh? Yes!"

At the very least, the men were exiled and the women were sent to brothels and the like.

"."

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

As for whether some people do not accept it.

There's nothing that can be done about it; none of them understands that.

Wang Chao and his men's actions this time were a little rough and violent.

Even if they had to work overtime, it took them more than a day to finally finish the count.

Sure enough, the previous trial was just a reason put out in the open for the public.

With the power the dynasty now holds, there is no need to care too much about the resentment of ordinary people.

After all, in an industry like the ancient brothels, it is hard to say that there had never been cases of forcing women of good families into prostitution or violating laws and regulations.

It was not until the third day that the spoils of the raid were finally counted.

What kindness and tolerance this is!

As for the number of years, that is determined by the dynasty. They cannot leave until they become resentful or are no longer needed.

In the Ming Dynasty, perhaps there was not as much preference for boys over girls as in the later Qing Dynasty, but the status of women was indeed far inferior to that of men.

Lintao Prefecture will be completely changed in the future. Everything must be done according to the rules of the dynasty. No family or person will dare to make trouble.

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

We, the sons of the Chinese nation, must never become slaves or be forced or insulted.

Nowadays, you can forget about finding a brothel in the entire Lintao Prefecture.

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

Recruit craftsmen, recruit soldiers and more.

In today's context, that is not realistic.

"Hoo~!"

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

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

In fact, many women were forced to sell themselves there in order to make a living.

However, it is possible to make some changes.

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

If this happened to the government or an ordinary rebel army, it would definitely be a real confiscation of property and extermination of the entire family.

After having the gold and silver deposited into the warehouse, Wang Chao summoned Li Hei again and asked him about the situation in Weiyuan County.

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

Since you can't resist, you can only obey.

Wang Chao's face turned serious and he spoke solemnly.

Wang Chao was just forced to work, and it was said that he could be released after working for a certain number of years.

"Ah~? What else can I do?"

However, he is willing to change little by little.

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

There must be more gold, silver and valuables stored in his hometown and other places.

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

Those who were extremely treacherous and evil were dragged directly to the execution ground and beheaded in public along with the prefect Ma Wenchang.

By then, some value can be created.

Prisoners cannot eat and drink for free."

Now in the entire Lintao Prefecture, no one dares to oppose his words.

But we should at least try to give them a soil for survival and a chance to move forward, right?

This kind of soil for survival and opportunity for advancement should naturally include everyone, young or old, male or female.

If one wants to leave, the brothel cannot stop him, and he only needs to pay a penalty for breach of contract.

If it is a dismissal, liquidated damages must also be paid.

Anyone who had committed any evil deeds or was hostile to the rescue army had their property confiscated by the dynasty one by one.

Wang Chao glared at him speechlessly.

Listening to the report below, Wang Chao's thoughts drifted away.

At the same time, if the brothel wants to dismiss the employee, they will also need to pay liquidated damages.

It can be said that the gold and silver in Lintao Prefecture today include the wealth of all the wealthy landlords in Lintao Prefecture and its surrounding areas.

After everyone arrived, Wang Chao went straight to the point and explained the current situation.

Moreover, this does not include the fixed land properties, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Of course, the dynasty had no real intention of abolishing it completely.

"Five hundred thousand taels of gold.

Ten million taels of silver.

The total is twelve million taels.

Food supplies

However, in the previous period, the rapid expansion of agricultural cooperatives outside the city caused a large number of landlords, wealthy rural families, etc. to migrate into the city.

And some people remain skeptical about this and think that there are not that many.

"Then wouldn't it be more profitable to establish a Jiaofang Bureau?"

This kind of reform of the dynasty was basically consistent from top to bottom, and coupled with the deterrence of the Salvation Army, basically no one dared to resist.

"Do you need it?"

The vast majority of the people are still grateful and bless him and their army of rescuers, and it can be said that the people's hearts have now won over them.

Even those scholars and literati might not be able to resist, right?

However, all this would have to be done after he had defeated the officers and soldiers in Weiyuan County and Shouyang Pass and roughly sorted out the occupied territory.

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

According to historical records from previous lives, when Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion, invaded Beijing, he only looted 70 million taels of silver.

However, the rewards are indeed considerable.

He was asking Wang Chao about how he dealt with the prisoners.

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

However, the dynasty no longer cares about them, and they cannot cause any trouble.

"Jiang Bo!"

"Can't those women cook?"

As for the high-ranking officials in Beijing during the Jiashen Incident, they probably would not have kept all their gold and silver in Beijing, right?

The new director of Lintao Prefecture’s Judicial and Surveillance Commissioner is Zhou Bingli.

That's basically impossible.

For example, a relatively equal document signed with the consent of both parties shall be signed, and no one shall be forced to drink or sleep with someone.

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

Finally, some arrangements were made, leaving behind a sentry of 200 soldiers and newly recruiting 10,000 new soldiers to garrison 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.
