According to the holy decree, all the property of the Xie family was confiscated and disposed of by Yang Chengzu with full authority, and even the three divisions of Nanzhili had no right to interfere. At the same time as the interrogation, the reception of the Xie family's original property was also in progress.

Because Yang Ji had intentionally collected information about the Xie family in the business before, he had a certain understanding of the situation of the Xie family, and no one cheated or intercepted the space, and this property acceptance was clean and thorough, leaving no dead ends. There are not many fish that slip through the net and can slip out of the hands of the government. Including some of the Xie family's original properties and storefronts in other people's names, they were almost dug up and put into the government.

For this piece of fat, there are still a lot of pretenders, but there are not many people who see so many heads, so much blood, and the courage to stretch out their hands. After all, the imperial court is now practicing high pressure on the matter of Tongwei, and even if the gentry leaders who were arrested in the southeast are not dead, they have not been released.

The government has done a beautiful job, with both confessions and physical evidence, and those who want to speak for the Xie family don't know what to say. The troupe controlled by Yang Ji has sung the story of serving the country with loyalty for so long, and the seeds of loyalty have been widely sown in the minds of the people.

At this time, public opinion is in the hands of readers, and the key is still a matter of literacy. Only if the reader knows the words, then the common people will naturally recognize the truth of what the reader says. Including the official documents and notices of the government, there is no reader to explain, and the ghost knows what is written.

It can be said that the scholar is the bridge of communication between the court and the commoners, and once the direction of the bridge goes wrong, then the people's will naturally go to the opposite side of the court. One of the key reasons why the tombstones of the five people in another time and space can arouse so much support among the citizens is that their party members have mastered public opinion.

Many people will do these things, but even the readers themselves have not raised them to the level of theory, and they are still in a state of seeming to understand but not understand. Some far-sighted people will organize lectures, such as Wang Shouren, in addition to being very powerful in war, what is even more powerful is actually lecturing. He directly created the psychology that was different from science, and there were many disciples and protégés, and his influence in the country was increasing.

And his disciples have derived branches such as the Zhedong School and the Jiangyou School, even if he is a teacher, he may not be able to control it. Like Wang Gen, the founder of the Taizhou School, he was just a stove Ding, and later a businessman, and he also swaggered into Beijing from the south of the Yangtze River on a pu wheel, lecturing along the way, even Wang Shouren, a teacher, could not restrain him.

However, most scholars do not have this kind of awareness, and still regard lecturing as a manifestation of their own strength. At most, I realized my own value, and I haven't thought about making anything in society by relying on this. Based on the insights of later generations, Yang Chengzu understands the importance of public opinion better than these people, and the Peking Opera team and other shops of Yang Ji have been running for public opinion from the very beginning.

First, through Peking Opera, some worries were spread to people's hearts, and then public opinion was induced through storytelling, singing, etc. For example, the proclamations of the government and the letters of the people are read by Yang Ji for free, and they can even be written for free. These small means may not be useful at the level of readers, but at the level of citizens, Yang Ji has a great influence on public opinion.

Like Wang Gen going north this time, his people's view that the daily use of the Tao was originally very popular with the ordinary people, but it was far less down-to-earth than Yang Ji's pro-people. It was because of his indifferent response to the lecture in the north this time, and the people did not care much about it, which was completely different from the scene supported by thousands of people in the original history. Even in the future, if his disciples dare to throw out the view that there is no king, no father, and no king and father, he is afraid that he will be beaten to death by the audience on the spot.

With these advantages, the people did not feel that the government was bullying people or seeking to seize the family property, but felt that the Xie family deserved it. For example, these industries have received support from the people, and even if someone wants to stumble in them, there is a problem of nowhere to speak.

Yang Ji's treatment was already higher than that of the Xie family, and those Xie family's shops announced their defection almost as soon as the imperial court's order was announced. The shopkeepers and men of the few shops are all members of the Xie family, but they want to serve the Lord's family, but before they can do anything, they are all taken away by Jinyiwei.

As for the fields in the countryside, Yang Kee's work in the countryside has made the reception extremely smooth, and a large area of land has changed from the Xie family's field to Yang Ji's field, and then the general left and right fields have been assigned to the name of Xungui.

To speak in conscience, these nobles are willing to give Yang Chengzu face, from military training to weapon making, they have a green light all the way, and even do not be greedy for ink work when making shotguns and copper cannons, and even make them with their own money. In the final analysis, it is still the plan to be able to obtain benefits. Everyone's kinship cannot be said to be ineffective, but if it all depends on kinship and does not give benefits, then this relationship will not be able to be maintained.

These people have invested in Yang Ji, of course, because they have saved up to make friends with upstarts, or to give face to Wudinghou, or to take care of relatives and other factors. But if you want to get profits, this is also an important factor, and everyone still wants to get rich. If Yang Chengzu refuses to let them share the profits, then this alliance of interests will not be able to maintain.

Half of the Xie family's property was divided up by these nobles, and the remaining half was classified under Yang Ji's name as Yang Ji's capital and the new army's industry. The Xie family has been famous for hundreds of years, and the savings are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, even if it is half of the family property, the number is enough to call the wealth of the enemy country.

On the original site of Xie Mansion in Wuyi Lane, the signboard of "Tianfei Academy" was hung in a string of firecrackers, and the Xuezheng of Nanzhili personally came to congratulate him, and the celebrities and talents of Nanjing were all present under the leadership of Yang Shen. Everyone either mentioned words or wrote poems to congratulate, giving the academy enough face.

Although this academy is only an industry under the name of Yang Ji, and the teaching is also Mengxue, the people who study here are either the children of Yang Ji's shopkeeper or orphans. They have no roots and connections, and it is not easy for them to make a difference in the imperial examination in the future, but with these greeting guests, the value of the students of this academy has increased dozens of times. Relying on these connections, the students of this academy will never be idle.

Leng Feishuang and Yang Chengzu, holding hands, hid in the crowd, because Yang Shen was writing now, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and no one paid attention to the pair of men and women. Leng Feishuang smiled, "You started this academy, but this time the establishment ceremony, you, the owner, don't show your head, okay?" ”

"What is this ceremony, I don't care if it goes through the motions. Let Yang Dacai enjoy it, I'll accompany you here, how about it, do you like this New Year's gift or not? In return, you say, what are you going to give me? How about making a pledge? ”

Yang Chengzu laughed, Leng Feishuang gently shook off his hand, and his body slid into the crowd like a swimming fish, his white cheeks as white as jade were slightly red. Those enlightened children have begun to line up into the academy, and in the clouds, it seems that the faces of shrimp boys and other children have appeared, laughing and waving goodbye.
