Although a considerable number of the gentry were still dissatisfied with the rule of the Jinan government, by this time, no one dared to resort to direct confrontation with the traversers, and the main hope was all pinned on the appeal to the Qing court.

So Xu Chang, Jiang Mingyi, Zhao Pinghe and others were also active in secret, on the one hand, they found someone to write a letter to the imperial court, and at the same time they also went around pulling people to sign a joint name, of course, the most important thing is to make money, because it costs a lot of money to sue the royal court, and there is no money to sue the royal court. Although Na Wu's home was raided, the 50,000 taels of silver he promised were of course lost, but the squires still managed to gather 180,000 taels of silver as the activity funds, and now they are only waiting for the imperial court to arrive.

In fact, the activities of the squires could not escape the eyes and ears of the intelligence officers at all, so the matter of the complaint had long been discovered by the traversers. However, after consulting with everyone, Wang Sheng thought that he could ignore the squire's actions, because the traverser and the Qing court had already reached a consensus, and now Shandong was actually a separation, no matter what happened to the traverser in Shandong, as long as it was not a blatant rebellion, the Qing court would not care, so let these squires go to the blind demolition, as long as they did not make trouble in Jinan, after all, the Jinan government still has a lot of things to do, and it is impossible to put most of the energy on these squires.

After the intensified work of the financial office, and finally after the traverser took over Jinan, the results of the various materials harvested by raiding the house and destroying the door were counted, and the harvest was of course very huge, in terms of silver money and materials: more than 665,700 taels of silver, more than 150,000 copper coins, about 320 tons of various grains, more than 73,000 pieces of cloth, 7,200 kilograms of salt, more than 30 horses, horses, cattle and animals, more than 50 pigs, sheep and livestock, 55 vehicles, more than 12,700 pieces of gold, silver, copper and jade ceramic utensils, more than 600 calligraphy and paintings, more than 1,500 pieces of furniture, more than 800 pieces of fur, more than 1,800 pieces of various clothes, shoes and hats, and real estateThere are more than 10,000 acres of land, 4 villages, totaling more than 3,600 square meters, and there are 12 residences in Jinan, totaling more than 6,500 square meters, and 24 shops, totaling more than 4,500 square meters. If all the materials obtained were to be converted into silver, the total value would be between 2.5 million and 3 million taels.

After Wang Sheng saw this list of statistics, he couldn't help but shout that he could make a fortune this time, and he could completely let go of his hands and feet and do a lot of work. However, how to distribute these harvests still needs to be decided by the East China government, but the Jinan government also first proposed 100,000 taels of silver to use, of course, Wang Sheng also asked the finance office to make a record of the financial name, together with the list to report to the East China government. Since the treasury of the government could not store these materials, except for the money, grain, cloth, salt, etc., the rest of the materials were temporarily classified and stored in the Anluo Hall.

In addition, in terms of arresting people, a total of 1,567 people were arrested, and after examination and processing, 71 people were executed and 754 of them were released.

While counting the materials, the work of dealing with the aftermath is also proceeding in a step-by-step manner, the ban on smoking and gambling has been fully implemented, and the rectification of pawnshops and brothels is also being intensified.

Strictly speaking, pawnshops are not considered to be socially harmful industries, and to a certain extent, they are still an indispensable industry in this era, because in ancient China, the financial industry was very backward, and pawnshops actually undertook part of the financial functions of private capital turnover, financing, and emergency response.

However, on the whole, the pawnshop in the folk transcription is not good, mainly because most of the pawn households are poor people, and pawn items are mostly used for emergency use, so in the game with pawnshops in an obvious weak position, pawnshops can shorten the time limit of pawns, and increase the interest, but also try to lower the price of pawn items, and most pawn households eventually have no money to redeem, can only watch their pawn items swallowed up by pawnshops, or left for pawnshop for their own use, or sold at a high price for profit.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, China's pawnbroking industry was very developed, and most of the pawnshops were run by wealthy households, and there were more collusions with the government than the government, and some pawnshops would rely on the power behind them to redeem some valuable pawn items even within the pawn time limit, or play the trick of stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix, replacing the pawn items with fakes and fakes, and so on; therefore, not only the ordinary poor were exploited and oppressed by the pawnshops, but even some rich families were on the verge of bankruptcy because of pawns. And in this way, the reputation of the pawnshop will naturally not be any better.

It is just that although the pawnshop has a bad reputation, it is still lacking, so it cannot be forcibly banned, and it can only gradually develop the economy, increase the income of the broad masses of the people, and enhance their ability to resist risks and social relief; in addition, it is necessary to develop the financial industry and increase the social loans and financing channels, so that the auxiliary industry will naturally decline.

Now what the traverser has to do is to standardize the operation and management of the pawnshop, limit the interest and pawn time of the pawnshop to a certain range, and the pawnshop cannot arbitrarily increase the interest or shorten the pawn time, and the pawn price of the pawn item is linked. And severely crack down on all kinds of embezzlement of pawn items.

Of course, the traveler did not directly formulate detailed rules for the pawnbroking industry, after all, the traveler is not familiar with the pawnbroking industry, even if the rules are formulated, they are not effective, and maybe there will be a lot of loopholes, so the Jinan government has recruited more than 20 pawnshop operators and some squires to negotiate together, only to delineate a large framework for them, let them make their own rules, and before the pawn rules are formulated, all pawnshops in Jinan can not open.

These people are insiders, naturally they all know the routine, and in order to open as soon as possible, they quickly formulated a set of [pawn industry code of conduct], and after the Jinan government reviewed, it made some modifications and added the standard contract system. The pawnshop pawn tickets are handwritten, which is not only not standardized, but also easy for pawnshops to exploit loopholes, and most ordinary pawnbrokers are illiterate, so it is easier for pawnshops to operate. This phenomenon can be avoided to a large extent by requiring all pawnshops to use a uniform form of pawn contracts.

The operators of the pawnshop had no objection to this, and it took a few days to write out the standard contract, and the Jinan government immediately sent people to step up the printing of plates, and each pawnshop issued 50 copies, and stipulated that each contract was three copies, and the pawnshop and the pawnshop each kept one copy, and one copy was handed over to the government after it was used up, in exchange for a new contract sample. This is more conducive to the government's supervision of pawnshops.

At the same time, the traveler also clearly told the operators of each pawnshop that they would send people to carry out fishing law enforcement, and once they found that the pawnshop did not use the standard contract, they would immediately revoke the pawnshop's business license. The traversers are all from modern society, of course, it is clear that no matter how good the system is, it must have strict supervision, which has been proved countless times in the old time and space, and now it is not realistic to expect the pawnshop operator to honestly use the standard contract, and in a short period of time, the party can not be counted on to report, so only the means of fishing law enforcement can be used, which is also a deterrent to the pawnshop operator.

Although the operators of the pawnshop are very dissatisfied with this, because in this way, their business conditions are all controlled by the Jinan government, and there is a basis for apportionment and pledge in the future, but at this time they cannot help but bow their heads, but there are also some squires who have found some positive factors, that is, overseas Chinese did not come up with a set of rules to force the pawnshop operators to accept, but negotiated with the pawnshop operators, and the process was basically equal, and this was indeed much better than the previous Qing court. On the one hand, this shows the respect of overseas Chinese for the operators, and on the other hand, overseas Chinese do not make decisions based on their own subjective will.

In any case, the [Pawn Industry Code of Conduct] has been formulated, and pawnshops can open for business. The reorganization of brothels is another way, and instead of recruiting brothel operators to negotiate together, the Jinan government imposes rules. This is mainly because the business model of brothels is relatively simple, there are not many hands and feet to play with, and the traverser has accumulated some experience in rectifying brothels in Tianjin and Beijing. Of course, under the rule of the traverser, it was collectively called the custom industry, and the brothel was also renamed the custom shop or the custom hall, which sounds better.

There are two main ways to regulate and rectify the customs industry: one is to prohibit human trafficking and coercion, because a large part of the operation of brothels is to buy young girls from the people for training and teaching, but in the area under the rule of the traverser, it is absolutely forbidden to buy human trafficking.

There are two kinds of certificates for the customs industry, for the employment certificate and the health certificate, the main content of the employment certificate is the age of the industry and the time of employment, first of all, the age of the practitioner can not be less than 16 years old, in fact, this age is very controversial within the traverser, after all, in the old time and space, 16 years old or the age of high school students, so it is required to raise the age to 18 years old, or even 20 years old. However, the age of marriage for women in this era is generally between 14-16 years old, 18 years old is considered old, 20 years old is a leftover woman, the same is true for the customs industry, 16 years old is already older, generally 14 or 5 years old can be employed, and then raise the age, this industry will not be able to operate.

Although the East China government has not banned the customs industry, it does not encourage the development of the customs industry, so this provision is to protect the interests of women engaged in the customs industry. The average prostitute's time limit is about 10 years, and the normal exit is generally around 25 years old, and in this era, it is almost impossible to find a better home at this age. The stipulation that after 5 years of employment, you can quit at the age of about 20 years old, although it is also a little older, but there is still a greater chance to find a better home.

Of course, these regulations are actually better than nothing, first of all, the age of employment, in the absence of a valid identity certificate in this era, the age can only rely on the face, but 14 years old, 16 years old, 18 years old, it is difficult to distinguish clearly. Even if a woman who is engaged in the customs industry quits at the age of 20, the chances of finding an ideal home are not very good, and many people are still engaged in the customs industry after the age of 20.
