The old Zhu family is still the nominal first family in the world, and the only one who can be called a princess is the woman of the old Zhu family, and I don't know how many people in the world are willing to marry the women of the old Zhu family.

However, Zhu Yijun in the court directly waved his hand and asked the ministers not to talk about this matter anymore, it is indeed okay to use women to delay time, but this matter feels even more embarrassing, and giving the thief the title of king is just a name, it doesn't hurt or itch.

can send a princess over, this princess is basically thrown away, maybe she will be tortured over there, just a woman, but Zhu Yijun can't accept it for a while, after all, it is his relative.

At the end of a court meeting, the Ming court made two important decisions, one was to give the gentry and merchants the power to form an escort team to quickly increase the strength of the Ming Dynasty; The other is to crown the leader of the anti-thieves and make the anti-thieves agree to negotiate peace, which may also be able to cause chaos within the anti-thieves.

Only two days have passed, and two orders have been issued from the capital, which is about to bring greater changes to the Ming Dynasty.

Half a month has passed since the end of the fighting in the battlefields of Guangxi, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian, and under the rule of the People's Army, the people in the newly occupied areas have quickly returned to normal life.

The People's Army distributed land to the people, and the landless people at the bottom were the first to accept the People's Army, while the wealthy gentry and businessmen who saved their lives were still hiding at home and hardly going out.

In fact, before the start of the war between the People's Army and the Ming Dynasty, some of the gentry and merchants temporarily left Guangxi, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian, and when the People's Army defeated Li Chengliang's army in the early stage of the war, more gentry and merchants fled in a hurry, and by the time the People's Army occupied the four places, the number of gentry and merchants who did not flee was less than one-tenth of the number before the war.

Most of the wealthy gentry and businessmen who did not flee did not have time to escape, but a small number of them stayed behind, such as Zhang Qing, a partner in Liangxin's glass business, who stayed in Wuchang City and did not flee to the north.

After the People's Army occupied Wuchang City, Zhang Qing's mansion was besieged for the first time, and Zhang Qing, as the head of the family, personally told the officers of the People's Army that he was a collaborator of Jia Liangxin, a big businessman in Guangdong, and that the Zhang family had bullied the people, but had obtained the forgiveness of those people.

Zhang Qing did not dare to say words of support and support for the People's Army, for fear of spreading to the Ming Dynasty, before the war began, Zhang Qing asked his two sons to take part of the family property to the capital and Jinling City respectively, even if there was an accident, the Zhang family would not be destroyed, this is the way for the big family to survive.

After that, the People's Army sent people to investigate the Zhang family, and after determining that the Zhang family had indeed dealt with the problems on their bodies, they began to deal with the Zhang family.

In the end, the People's Army took away the Zhang family's excess farmland, and then confiscated half of the Zhang family's wealth, so that they could obtain an identity card issued by the People's Army government, and they were protected by the People's Army in the People's Army-ruled area.

After obtaining the ID card, Zhang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could save his life and pay most of his family fortune, he could accept it, the wealth was gone, and everything was gone, as long as the person was still there, he could earn more wealth.

But now Zhang Qing is a little worried about his two sons in the capital and Jinling City, millions of Ming troops have been defeated by the People's Army, Zhang Qing feels that the Ming Dynasty is really going to die in the hands of the People's Army, fortunately, he listened to Zhang Liang's persuasion, and did not flee to the north with the whole family, and when the People's Army destroyed the Ming Dynasty, the Zhang family had no place to escape.

Zhang Qing planned to spend this period of time first, and when everything settled down, he personally went to Guangdong to visit Liang Xin and thank Liang Xin.

Zhang Qing was just one of the wealthy gentry and businessmen who stayed and saved their lives, and there were also people similar to Zhang Qing who stayed and saved their lives, before the war, no one thought that the million Ming army would be defeated by the People's Army so quickly, it was really unbelievable.

In addition to Zhang Qing, a wealthy businessman who cleaned up his problems in advance, less than one-fifth of the wealthy businessmen who did not have time to escape were able to save their lives, and the wealthy businessmen who saved their lives also included those who were demoted to coolies, so they were still alive.

Originally, there were many wealthy gentry and businessmen in Guangxi, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Huguang provinces who did not do evil, but because of the arrival of the People's Army, they were afraid of the People's Army, and all those who could run ran away.

It doesn't matter if the vast majority of the gentry and businessmen run away, what is more important is their wealth, the people's army has not yet been able to issue credit coins, and the development of the people's army still needs gold and silver to support, those gentry and businessmen escaped, it is impossible to take all the wealth away, and a large amount of gold and silver were buried in the ground by the gentry and businessmen in advance.

There are many money banks in the land of China, and there are also people's money banks under the rule of the People's Army, but they do not provide deposit business, even if there is a deposit business, others are not at ease to store money in the bank, trust is one thing, and more importantly, it is more reassuring to put money at home.

During the war, there are too many dangers on the road, maybe the servants rebelled together and robbed the master's money away, and the people were killed, and it was also possible to encounter routs and thieves on the road, and they were looking for death.

If you buy a mansion in a foreign place in advance and put some money, it is good to flee in a hurry and only bring some high-value things, and if you can bring gold, you will never bring silver.

The People's Army had already learned that the gentry and merchants had buried a large amount of gold, silver, and antiques in the land, and in order to find the wealth buried in the land, the People's Military Governments in various localities issued proclamations to the common people under their rule in the past 10 days after their establishment, seeking clues from the common people.

Once the clues provided by the common people are useful, they will be rewarded with money according to the contributions of the common people, with a minimum of ten taels of silver and a maximum of one thousand taels of silver.

The gentry and merchants fled in a hurry, and it was impossible for all the servants in the family to take them away, although such a thing as burying wealth would only be done by confidants, but other servants might also know where the wealth was buried.

The People's Army does not mind giving large rewards to collect clues, and the wealth buried in the land by the gentry and businessmen belongs to the People's Army in accordance with the provisions of the law, and private individuals dare to take it at will, and once they are discovered, they will be severely punished, and ordinary people suddenly have a large amount of gold and silver on them, and everyone can feel that there is a problem.

For ordinary people, those gold and silver cannot be used by themselves, but it is better to lead the people's army to dig it out, even if it is only ten taels of silver, it is a lot of money for them, if they can get one thousand taels of silver, they can already be regarded as middle-class and upper-class people in the people's army-ruled area, and there is no problem in eating meat every day.
