Chapter 1260
Xiangguang City is the second key city captured by the Heavenly Soldiers. The first key city they captured was Cloud City.

After they took down Yunzhong City, they had no time to do anything in Yunzhong City, so they assembled their army and rushed to Dahei Mountain, completed the ambush on Dahei Mountain, and then took down Xiangguang City.

After Tianbing entered Xiangguang City, the first question before Zhou Xianguang and others was how to treat the former officials, as well as the problem of wealthy families.

In fact, although there are differences between these two groups, strictly speaking, they are a whole. Many officials are from rich and powerful families. Occasionally, a person from a small family becomes an official by chance, and his family will soon Become a wealthy family.

Tianbing has promised to let the common people who support them live a good life, how can they live a good life?Opening warehouses to release grain can only manage their food and clothing for a while, but not for a lifetime. If we want them to live a life of food and clothing, we must let the tillers have their fields, and the workers must have jobs. salary treatment.

But now, both the fields and the factories are controlled by those rich and powerful families. If the heavenly soldiers want to benefit the common people, they have to let these rich and powerful families give up some of the benefits!

However, how could those wealthy families be willing to give up their interests?
Of course, now that the soldiers have occupied Xiangguang City and have a powerful army, they can rely on armed force to wipe out all these wealthy families and then confiscate their properties.

But Zhou Xianguang and Li Qingyu summoned the key personnel of the Heavenly Soldier, and after intense discussions, they finally did not adopt such a one-size-fits-all drastic method.

Such a drastic method seems to be very straightforward and clean, but it will bring serious and bad consequences to the Heavenly Soldiers' unification of Lingxu Realm's hegemony!
Now the politics of the entire Lingxu Realm is rich family politics, family politics, the 36 super big families in Lingxu Realm are the biggest wealthy families, and below them are the big and small wealthy families.Now if Zhou Xianguang and others use violent means to beat all these wealthy families to death, and force all the wealthy families to give up their interests unconditionally, they will definitely offend all the wealthy families in the entire world!

In this way, the big and small wealthy families in the entire realm will definitely abandon their grievances, strictly control their tenants and workers, unite around each super wealthy family, and work together to fight the heavenly soldiers to the end!
If such consequences really occur, it will be disastrous for the Heavenly Soldiers!They will face an unbreakable whole!

Moreover, this one-size-fits-all approach is also unfair to some wealthy families.

As modern people, Zhou Xianguang, Li Qingyu and others all know very well that laziness does not distinguish between classes. Not all poor people are hardworking. On the contrary, among all paupers, the proportion of lazy people is extremely high!

Not all people from wealthy families are playboys, there are also many hardworking and capable among them!The wealth accumulation of many wealthy families is quite legitimate.

For example, there is a person who has five acres of land, but he does not want to cultivate, eats too much and is lazy, and he is about to starve to death. He wants to sell the land to a person who has accumulated a little wealth through hard work. buy it?

If you don't buy it, the poor man will starve to death, but if you buy it, it will save his life!
After this rich man buys these five acres of land, his means of production will increase. He will hire more people to work for him, so his harvest will be more in the coming year and he will buy more land.

This is a normal process of wealth accumulation, and it would be unfair to force such families to hand over their land and wealth.

In order not to over-stimulate the nerves of the rich and noble families in the leading virtual world, the key personnel of the Heavenly Soldiers formulated a strategy of dealing with major evils and not punishing minor evils after intense discussions.

Those rich and powerful families who have great public anger and have committed numerous crimes in the process of wealth accumulation are so great that if they don’t kill them, they will resolutely attack them. Public trial, deprivation of their right to life, and confiscation of all their property except for their family members.

These confiscated fields will naturally be allocated to ordinary people, but the Heavenly Soldiers stipulate that after the people are allocated the land and the heavens, they must not leave it unused for no reason. If the Heavenly Soldiers find out who has been assigned the land and abandon it without reason, they will not only take back the land, but also severely punish the owner of the land. .

By punishing lazy people, we can ensure that the land is utilized to the maximum extent.

For those families with little public outrage or relatively normal wealth accumulation process, Zhou Xianguang adopted the method of redemption to buy their land at a fair price.Of course, this business is a free trade, and those families have the right not to sell and continue to keep their own land.

But the problem these families face is that after the soldiers of the day distribute the land they got from those bullies to the poor, those poor people will have their own land, and with their own land, they will naturally no longer be tenants of the rich and powerful families. !
The children of these rich and powerful families will not go to the fields to cultivate in person, even if they want to cultivate in person, there are not so many of them!Their fields cannot be cultivated, and the heavenly soldiers do not allow them to be abandoned. Keeping those extra fields in their hands will not only fail to create wealth for them, but will also bring them losses.They eventually had to agree to sell some of their land to the Celestial Soldiers.

As for the money to buy the land, part of it was paid by the government, and part of it was confiscated from the treacherous and evil wealthy families.

After the policy was formulated, in order to investigate clearly the family history of these rich and powerful families in Xiangguang City, as well as their daily actions, Tianbing set up a rectification and investigation office for the rich and powerful families, with Xiaozhu as the director of the office and directly responsible to Zhou Xianguang.

The investigation office has great power. It can temporarily mobilize troops below the regiment level without notifying the superior departments of the relevant troops. Its main task is to investigate the wealthy families in Xiangguang City, as well as officials at all levels. Small crimes and small evils can be forgotten, and big crimes can be forgotten. Evil must be dealt with strictly!

Zhou Xianguang allocated a large number of manpower to Xiaozhu, and gave Xiaozhu the right to choose his own candidates, as long as he finally reported to the staff department.Xiaozhu spread out a large number of people and formed an invisible net in Xiangguang City. In only ten days, he found out the situation of these wealthy families.

This rectification process has undoubtedly affected the interests of a large number of wealthy families. After all, the fortunes of most wealthy nobles are a history of blood and tears of ordinary people, and wealthy families with great public anger account for the majority!
When Xiaozhu raised his butcher knife to these wealthy families who were extremely angry, these wealthy families suddenly realized that the heavenly soldiers had no intention of letting them go, and the previous calm was just to cover up the investigation work behind them!

Those wealthy families who were forced to hand over their fields and property would naturally not be obedient. They got entangled with the slave guards, and then everywhere instigated their tenants to follow them against the heavenly soldiers.

At this time, I can see the importance of Li Qingyu's previous work. Those tenants have already recognized Tianbing, so how can they listen to the foolishness of these rich and powerful families?
These wealthy families only brought their wealthy slaves to guard the courtyard, trying to protect their property. However, they were all captured alive by the troops sent by Xiaozhu before they could even make a splash!All lands and wealth were confiscated!
