When Zhou Peigong sent people to each family, the heads of each family returned to their homes, since they had no intention of resisting, there was no point in staying together, but they would be considered by others to gather people to make trouble.

Hearing Zhou Peigong's request, these family heads couldn't help but curse secretly: "Treacherous thief! "Only give them half an hour, in this era, there are no mobile phones and multimedia, it is impossible to send a WeChat message, you can only rely on your own feelings.

But at this time, the defects of the businessman are revealed, if the gang people encounter this kind of thing, they must protect their brothers, because if they dare to betray their brothers, even if they can escape this catastrophe, their own gang rules will not escape, and in the end they will definitely be unable to escape death. But these businessmen are not so exquisite, and they can get by on face in ordinary times, but when they encounter this kind of time, they must be dead friends who are not dead and poor.

After all, in everyone's hearts, as long as they can survive this battle, they will be able to stand out among many families, and when the time comes, are you still afraid that the silver will not be able to earn back?

So almost sixty percent of the people have handed over all the family property in the city, and the remaining forty percent of the people, two percent still feel that everyone has the same hatred in their hearts, that is, handing over half of the family property has hurt their own muscles and bones, and two adults, not only handed over the family property in the city, but also handed over half of the family property in the countryside that is used to make a comeback, they think very reasonably, as long as they are not raided, with that silver enough to put into the market, it will not take more than two years to earn back the silver. Of course, the premise is that they can have a chance to continue to gain a foothold in Gangneung City.

Jin Yiwei didn't have a chance to find out how much property these people had, but he could still find out who was richer than whom, and if the silver sent could be more than the money sent by the family with a richer family background, then it would be classified as first-class, and vice versa. Of course, there are inevitably some errors, but almost eighty percent of them are in the right order.

Zhou Peigong had some confidence in his heart, and immediately began to send people into the city, so that those families who were divided into first-class families would immediately send the silver, and he would not be blamed for the past.

The news spread quickly, and while these people were sending the money from home, they contacted them to bring the money from the countryside.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Peigong began to accept the papers again, although the papers were all accepted, but they only let people arrest the heads of those families of the third class.

If Cheng Xiaolian was here, he would definitely give him a thumbs up, and later generations of Taizu also used this method, which was called the neutral rich peasants in later generations, uniting the poor and middle peasants, and fighting the landlords. And although Zhou Peigong doesn't know what happened in the future, this method is the same. Most of the people standing in the middle did not passively do a single penny, and the city could not be chaotic.

Of course, in order to calm the hearts of these people, Zhou Peigong also deliberately sent their list to the mansions of the various gentry, and clearly told them that this is the silver they handed over, you can see it clearly for yourself.

These people understood at a glance that the families who were taken away didn't even take out half of the family's silver, which is no wonder, they all said that people died for money, and today they saw it, and at this time, they were still thinking about that bit of silver, and they deserved to be arrested.

But these people are also muttering in their hearts, Zhou Peigong didn't say to stop here, in case this group of people is rectified, what should I do if we continue to rectify them? So secretly began to pass on the news, if Zhou Peigong was endless, he would mess up the city for him, and the fish would die.

What surprised them, in the process of these people being censored, so many of the family businesses were opened, and seeing that the military in the city did not control them in the slightest, these people thought about it and didn't understand what was going on, knowing that Zhou Peigong had sent a list to the mansion again.

Looking at the amount of silver taels they donated, these people are straight to the tooth flowers, these bastards are really willing to spend their blood, almost seventy or eighty percent of their family money out, but the effect is also obvious, their shop has opened, as long as Jiangling can stabilize like Sichuan and Shu, it won't take them two or three years to recover, and even with the development of the Ming Dynasty, their family business will get bigger and bigger.

Because every time Daming captured a place, they could be the first to pour into the city to seize business opportunities, at that time, the city was in ruins, and those merchants would definitely not dare to move, and they would definitely be able to make a lot of money.

Thinking of this, these people regretted beating the wall, why didn't they have the courage to donate seventy or eighty percent of their family property like them, and now the family's business can be opened.

The situation they are facing is similar to that of later generations, if your house has not been opened, and people's rice shops and cloth villages have all opened, and the people are used to buying things, they will naturally go to them to buy things, and it will not be easy to bring back those old customers when the time comes.

In the past, for the balance of the city, everyone stipulated the type and scope of each family's business, for example, the Sun family sold cloth in the north of the city, and the Hou family sold cloth in the south of the city, and the price of cloth was generally high, and it was the freedom of the people to buy where they wanted. And among them, it is not allowed to secretly use means to win over the people, and if it is discovered, it will be disposed of by the people of the merchant hall.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the capital sprouted, and there was already an organization like Shangtang, such as the Chamber of Commerce in later generations, which specialized in coordinating the businessmen who did business in the city, everyone ate in a city, if they competed with each other, they would inevitably break their heads, it was better to set the rules, compete fairly, and no one would starve to death, of course, if your family has an exclusive craft, no one will stop you from getting rich.

Now the Sun family's shops in the north of the city are forced to close, and the Hou family in the south of the city can control the cloth trade in the whole city.

Zhou Peigong naturally didn't have time to meddle with their affairs, all the bait was scattered, just waiting for the big fish to take the bait, and now he was busy adjudicating the case. Now is a good time for him to establish his prestige, if he does a good job, the people will not regard him as Bao Zheng, Hai Rui like the Qingtian lord trust, and his decrees will be unimpeded, if it is not done well, in the words of later generations, it will lose the credibility of the government, and the future affairs will have to be discussed with those gentry, and they will be restricted.

And now the judgment of the case is exquisite, when he was outside the city, he was to make the people trust, so he took care of the cheap sale of land, now he can't mess around, he wants to establish the prestige of the yamen, and he must act in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty. He can be judged how he should be judged, and he can't cut off people's heads when he sells land cheaply, and people will say that he is blind when it is spread out.
