This news immediately set off the whole city.
Many people who were oppressed by gentry and landlords immediately found Zhang Rong to report them.
It would be best if the silver could be found, but if not it would be no loss for them.
The government of every dynasty has always adhered to one principle when handling cases: if the people do not sue, the officials will not investigate.
If the people sue, the government must give an explanation.
Zhang Rong joined forces with local authorities to search for the gentry and landlords who had been reported.
Although the gentry and landlords had hidden the silver long ago.
But Zhang Rong was the governor of the Eastern Depot.
No one knows how to find silver, especially hidden silver, better than the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
They always find the right one.
On the beam.
Under the bed in the bedroom and in the soil under the bed.
Under the cellar.
In the water tank.
Hole in the wall.
Even the toilet was stirred with a stick.
In less than five days, Zhang Rong dug out the silver hidden by the gentry and landlords in Xuzhou.
As a result, hundreds of people were convicted.
Zhang Rong killed several of the masterminds and confiscated the property of the rest and exiled them.
The other gentry were very unconvinced and said that those people were not guilty.
When Zhang Rong encountered reasonable gentry, he would shut them up with the policy of currency reform.
This is a national policy that was implemented two years ago.
It's impossible not to know.
How can one be innocent if one goes against national policy knowing full well that it is a national policy?
If the other party is unreasonable, Zhang Rong will kill them all.
Zhang Rong divided the seized silver and confiscated assets into four parts.
Most of them were secretly sent to the capital.
Of the remaining money, a portion will be rewarded to the whistleblower.
If things are investigated later, these people can speak for Zhang Rong and prove his innocence.
Part of it was sent to Zhu Cijiong's army.
The last part was divided among Bolo, Suksaha and local officials.
As for real estate such as fields and houses, Zhang Rong handed them over to the local land bureau for disposal.
Before he had time to catch his breath, the Imperial Guards sent him a battle report: After taking Xuzhou, Prince Ding Zhu Cijiong divided his troops into two groups. One group attacked Fengyang Prefecture, and the other attacked Huai'an Prefecture. Now they have taken Suzhou and Lingbi in Fengyang Prefecture, and Pizhou, Suining and Suqian in Huai'an Prefecture.
