Xia Pingan had people convert the money that was counted from the Changyun villa into silk and distributed it to the poor families whose children had been robbed over the years in accordance with the local tribute rules. Each family had 50 silk.
In just a few days, the entire Daozhou city was like a grand show. First, countless children who were robbed to the Changyun villa were reunited with their parents. Then, the provincial governor's pension was distributed. Countless people in Daozhou rushed to tell each other. Almost every day, there were chickens, ducks, and fish sent by the people in Daozhou to thank the provincial governor's mansion.
As for the gifts from the commoners, Xia ping 'an had his men accept them and had the chefs in the provincial governor's manor make meat soup for the officials to enjoy.
