"All confiscated fields were still changed to state-owned farms, and the original tenants were changed to farmhouses. The tenants were rented in the same way as the imperial farms. Each farm had a township official on the basis of the village, and gave him eighth-rank official positions. The county government recommended it and the Ministry of Personnel issued a lecture. The rent collected was directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue as public grain;

The confiscated shops and workshops are sold to the public by various governments. Whoever gives them the price will be sold to whom. This is considered a bidding system that complies with the law of the king. Whether it is the comprehensive store of the Dongchang, the merchant company of the Maritime Department, or the private company, you can participate in it, both public and private.

The censor, the Censorate Officer and the East Factory supervised the transaction process, and all the money sold was included in the Ministry of Revenue and the public treasury;

The confiscated mansions are also sold in the same way, except for the royal family and public use."

Zhu Youxiao did not intend to give the confiscated real estate such as fields, shops, houses, workshops to nobles or something.

Because Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to raise parasites.

For rewards for those who have made meritorious services, Zhu Youxiao will only directly reward silver or reward them.

Because if you give money directly, those who have made meritorious will at least use the money to consume, generate transaction activities, and support more people.

"Abide by the order!"

Han Yu and Xiong Tingbi both replied.

"How is the comforting thing done? Can the scholars and people in Jiangnan who were affected by the rebellion return to their usual state?"

Zhu Youxiao was more concerned about the quality of life of the people at the bottom of Jiangnan. After all, these people determined whether the economically developed region of Jiangnan is developing healthily.

"Report to Your Majesty, there are many businessmen in Jiangnan and many workers. Therefore, there are many towns and towns. Nanjing, Suzhou, Songjiang, Huzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Hangzhou and other places, no less than one million people work. However, the discipline of this rebellion was corrupted and they just robbed their houses, causing many merchants of all sizes to lose their entire family. A large number of workers were unemployed, and beggars were in the streets and alleys. Although I tried my best to transfer grain and provide relief, it was a drop in the bucket. Seeing that the weather became cold and the plague increased, if it was not properly handled, I was worried that there would be a major epidemic after the chaos. Therefore, I believe that it has not yet recovered. If it wants to restore to its previous state, the court's top priority must make merchants resume production as soon as possible and migrant workers resume work!"

Han Yu didn't dare to hide it, so he answered truthfully.

Zhu Youxiao also started to think about it after listening to it.

He knew that after he opened a new textile industry with new textile technology, a large number of private textile workshops had already gone bankrupt, which forced a large number of weaving households and textile households to be transformed into workers. Now a rebellion has caused a large number of Jiangnan merchants and handicraftsmen in other industries that have not been affected by the technological upgrading of the textile industry to go bankrupt, which naturally caused the Jiangnan commodity economy, which was already in a period of transformation, to encounter greater problems.

"You are right. Merchants must resume production as soon as possible. Migrant workers have recruited enough workers. Weaving and cotton yarn bureaus cannot recruit any more. They can only help these merchants resume production first and let them provide them with the workers to absorb them."

Zhu Youxiao said first.

"We want to see the Emperor!"

"Please let us meet the Emperor!"

"Please save us. Our family business has been robbed by the rebels. I can't pay my wages and I can't support a family. If this continues, I can only hang myself or be beaten to death, or starve to death with my whole family!"

At this time, there were noises and the shouts of soldiers from the guard townsmen.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly said to Han Yu and Xiong Tingbi: "Go and go out and have a look!"

"yes!"

Han Yu and Xiong Tingbi replied.

Then, Zhu Youxiao came to the gate and saw a large group of people kneeling outside, including merchants, craftsmen, workers, people, and scholars.

"Your Majesty, they suddenly appeared, probably no less than 100,000 people, and there were these people outside. They said they were coming to the emperor for help. What should you do about it?"

Lu Xiangsheng, who was in charge of Zhu Youzhai’s imperial guards, reported to Zhu Youzhai.

Xiong Tingbi hurriedly said at this time: "These people must be instigated by someone, otherwise they would not dare to come so boldly to find the emperor directly."

"It's useless to pursue this now. First, please calm these people down. Han Aiqing, go and tell them that I will let them resume work and production within three days, and will not let them be robbed because of a rebellion and go back to poverty and starvation from now on!"

Zhu Youxiao said and ordered: "First distribute the million gold and silver deposits in the inner city of Nanjing as temporary subsidies to calm their hearts. Then he said that the court has prepared tens of millions of taels of silver to help them! Tell them not to worry, and let them tell their relatives and friends that my coming to Jiangnan will naturally not make the lives of the scholars and people in Jiangnan more difficult, but will only make everyone's life better and better!"

"I obey the order!"

Han Du replied, and then walked out first.

Zhu Youxiao returned to the park and ordered: "Go and call Li Yongzhen, who is responsible for the establishment of the Royal Bank!"

As soon as Han Yu came out, the noisy Jiangnan scholars and people outside became quiet.

After all, Han Dong was wearing an imperially-given python robe. When anyone with a discerning eye saw it, he knew that he was a high-powered official.

"Everyone! Please be quiet! I am Han Yu, the second assistant to the cabinet and the auxiliary minister of the Political Affairs Hall. Now I am hereby here to pass the order to you. Your Majesty has issued an order to resume work and production within three days. Merchants can re-operate their own industries and workers can have a job again. For this reason, Your Majesty has prepared tens of millions of taels of cash as the funds to help you. How to help you, and wait for the imperial edict. Now, please go home and register with your household tickets to the county government. At that time, temporary subsidies will be issued first!"

Han Du said loudly, then smiled.

"So it's Master Han, I'm so respectful!"

At this time, the life member said something, then turned around and shouted: "Everyone, Master Han is a veteran of the three dynasties and an important minister of the court. His words are naturally credible. Let's go back!"

"The emperor really cares about us!"

"Yes, the emperor is willing to take care of it. It's great. The goods were burned by the rebels before and were owed a lot of debts. If I can get up again, I don't have to jump into the river."

"I don't know how the emperor will pay it."

...

The business people outside were all talking happily.

And Xu Xianchun, who was outside the door with Han Du, whispered to Liang Heng: "Send someone to keep an eye on the student who was just talking."

Liang Heng nodded.

...

"It's so generous. I don't want to reward the farms and houses. I've been sold all for auctions, houses, and workshops. I'm not willing to give them to anyone. Now I'm so generous to these ordinary merchants and unemployed untreated pariahs!"

Xu Hongji, who had planned to assassinate Li Ruhua in the past, learned that Zhu Youxiao was going to use tens of millions of silver to help the scholars and people in Jiangnan get out of the predicament, and then asked Dou Ding, a disciple sent by the left governor Zheng Yangxing, and said, "Since the court wants to spill silver, what can we do?"
