See the essence through appearance.

Money was robbed, grain was robbed, and even territory was robbed, so we all joined our hearts to make trouble - this is the real content hidden by this one-meter-long complaint, which can be said to be the bloody and tears.

No matter how mutiny officials such as Wang Bangcai, Li Huoyang complained, and how Gao Huai plundered the people's power in Liaodong, one thing is absolutely impossible to avoid, that is, without Gao Huai, these money and food may not be able to reach the hands of the court.

Who has to go?

Except for the civil and military officials in Liaodong, there should be no one else.

Liangchen never doubted this.

Because history clearly told him that the formation of the Liaodong military head was in the Wanli period and reached its peak at the end of Chongzhen. Finally, he transformed himself into a transformation and "entered from the dragon to the pass".

The basic conditions for forming a military head are to have a stable source of money and grain and territory, and to have a large number of military and civilians.

What Gao Huai did, regardless of whether it is legitimate or whether it is really rude, would fish out like a robber regardless of the people's strength. At least, in the eyes of Liangchen, he did a good job in Liaodong, otherwise Wanli would not have supported him for ten years.

The reason for the prince is to have his own reason, and Gao Huai's statement is that Wang Bangcai and Li Huoyang robbed the money and food he paid to the emperor, and the matter was leaked and he took the risk and led the crowd to mutiny.

Wang Bangcai and the others said that Gao Huai was in Liao for ten years, which caused the people to be poor and the military and civilians to suffer. So they had to wear armor and make noise.

Whoever is right or wrong, good ministers don’t judge, and he doesn’t have the qualifications to judge.

He just came to see that Wanli did not give him any power, any power to deal with this major event.

However, from the perspective of Liangchen, from this complaint alone, Gao Huai's tax mailman was very good at doing his job and was very hard at work.

No matter what industry you are engaged in, as long as you have a transaction or profit, it is natural to pay taxes to the state.

If you say it wrong, it is because Gao Huai did it a bit too much, or it is too greedy, and it is a bit too small.

It is too unreasonable that the vegetables grown by the people also need to be taxed.

Of course, the truth of the matter needs further investigation by Liangchen.

As for tax soldiers extorting businessmen, of course, this matter cannot be followed by one party and can be judged by dialectical evidence.

Why do tax soldiers blackmail merchants? Should they not be able to collect taxes, or should they blackmail them after taxes?

If you don’t understand this issue and talk about right and wrong, it is entirely superficial and cannot be taken as true.

You should know that the reason why Wanli sent out a mining tax entrusted is that the treasury cannot collect taxes. The land tax alone cannot support the operation of the huge empire. If the treasury is rich, why would Wanli bear the infamy of competing with the people for profit and loving money?

Mining supervision makes money by mining, and taxation makes money by collecting taxes.

Obviously, at the beginning, Wanli's goal was very clear. Whether it was mining or tax collection, it was definitely not targeted at ordinary people. Otherwise, you could increase the tax on land acres, so why bother with the outside court all day long.

Wanli does not increase taxes to ordinary people, so who is the target of tax collection?

The answer is obvious.

Who in the world is rich?

Who is holding the minerals in the world? It’s a wealthy businessman!

Collecting taxes from rich people to adjust national finances, and in which dynasty and generations are all good policies that should be praised by ordinary people.

Besides, these rich people are too unrealized.

People who only take advantage of themselves, don’t talk about their efforts, only care about their own family and the country, should always be people who are despised by history books and the people.

However, now everything has been turned upside down, which is really amazing.

This may be the deformity caused by the development of the country to a certain extent and being too prosperous.

It is different things to laugh at the poor but not the prostitute, but it is essentially in line with a series of problems caused by the "competing for profit with the people" since Wanli.

It doesn’t matter that the court has no money, it doesn’t matter that it wants to make money. The important thing is that we can’t make money from us.

If you do it, you will be a foolish monarch and compete for profit with the people.

....

After reading the whole article of the complaint, every word seemed to be bloody and tears, but it was all accusations, and accusations were listed one by one. When you look at it, Gao Huai was really worse than beasts.

But after looking closely, in addition to the crime, the only examples are just to blackmail merchants, and to the general sayings such as terrifying words that are 90% empty in the ten rooms but cannot stand scrutiny.

Liangchen felt that if necessary, he could make ten copies of them, and one by one was more powerful than the other. Anyway, to put it in a big way or a bad way, ten or eight charges were not cruel enough, and there was no need to be too many of them.

To be honest, it is still the slave chief who is really good. If he doesn't commit suicide, he can raise an army with seven charges.

Liangchen felt that Gao Huai should not have the courage and qualifications to deduct military pay in private.

Gao Huai was just a magistrate of the tax magistrate, not the governor of Ji Liao, nor the Liaodong Dusi. How could he withdrew military pay?

Even if he dares, he is afraid that the big money on the Nine-side is not something that he, a mine supervisor who only has more than a thousand tax soldiers, can eat.

In Liaodong, the real number one person was not Gao Huai, but the Marshal Li.

Can Li Chengliang, a giant who has been in charge of Liaodong for decades, tolerate a castration temple deducting his military pay?

If it was true, Liangchen's judgment was that Li Chengliang deducted the military pay and distributed it to Gao Huai some, with the intention of being a good friend and a cooperation.

After all, Gao Huai, the Liaodong Mine Supervisor, has another identity - the imperial envoy.

Li Chengliang did not want the emperor to know something, so he would inevitably bribe Gao Huai, the imperial envoy.

Nowadays, no one in high positions has a clean butt. Don’t say that Li Chengliang is the leader of the army, and Ye Xianggao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is not a clean person.

Now, there may be a conflict of interest between the two. Either Gao Huai feels his wings are hard and wants to bypass Li Chengliang to make more, or Li Chengliang thinks Gao Huai is too big and threatens his status and power.

Anyway, the contradictions are irreconcilable, so the military changes occur when the gate is closed. If the military changes are together, it will be difficult for Gao Huai to die.

Even if the emperor still sheltered Gao Huai as before, and the crime of deducting military pay was thrown out, Gao Huai was still doomed.

No matter what the truth is, as long as Wanli really abolished and killed Gao Huai in order to calm the military change, the complaint held by the Liangchen will definitely become the evidence of Gao Huai's crime and ironclad evidence, and will then be introduced into historical materials. When later generations studied the mineral tax envoy during the Wanli period, they would definitely regard this as the crime of the mineral tax envoy, and then criticized Wanli, the "master plotter".

Unfortunately, Wei Liangchen is a relatively rebellious penis, so he has a different perspective on the problem than others.

....

Gao Huai is an eunuch and cannot steal women, otherwise he would just steal money, grain and women.

Wei Liangchen looked at the closed-door civil and military officials with a smile, and found that many officers looked embarrassed.

As a soldier, even officers are mostly military men who can't read big words. Such people can't understand the words when they speak in a zigzag manner.

Grab money and grain is the most practical.

After making trouble for so long, whether it is appeal or grievance, isn’t it just for the word “money and food”?

This little eunuch has been told to his heart.

Many officers thought so.

But they can think this way, but they must not agree, otherwise, what will it be?

When a big incident was launched by tens of thousands of people, I said lightly because you robbed our money and food, making it difficult for us to live, so we all decided to make it difficult for you to live.

"We are making the decision for the Liaodong military and civilians, not what the angels think!"

Wang Bangcai was very angry and asked for his life for the people and drove away the rebels. How could he have robbed money and food? This little eunuch was a man from the palace. Like Gao Huai, he was a birdless person. It would be strange if he didn't look to Gao Huai.

With this idea, Wang Bang couldn't help but wonder whether to put some pressure on the eunuch, or scare him, so that he could know what would happen to help Gao Huai.

He looked at Li Huoyang, but found that the latter was whispering something to the people around him.

Wang Bangcai frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on the little eunuch again. He found that the little eunuch actually looked at him with a serious face and said in a deep voice: "I will definitely submit this complaint to Your Majesty. However, since the ban is opened, you still need to control your soldiers and not cause trouble again."

Wang Bangcai and others obviously wanted to say something, but the good ministers signaled to say something tomorrow on the grounds of being tired. They also said that they would have to go to the forts tomorrow to see, listen to the people's sentiments, and then report back to the emperor in truth.

The civil and military officials in the closed door looked at me, and I saw you, but they had no idea. In the end, it was Wang Bangcai who discussed with Li Huoyang and agreed to talk about it tomorrow. After the civil and military officials in the closed door retreated, Liangchen gave the complaint to Li Yongzhen and asked him to put it away.

Liangchen was quite satisfied with Li Yongzhen's previous act of accepting the complaint on his behalf, because this act highlighted his identity well, so that others could not help but pay attention to it even if they didn't know his background.

After all, it is the future big man, the second uncle has a clear and quick hand, and a lively mind.

But Li Yongzhen hesitated a little and finally asked: "The chief of the small case really wants to submit this complaint to the emperor? If he wants to do this, Eunuch Gao may..."

"Your Majesty asked me to come and take a look. What I heard, saw, and got, will be reported as if it were your Majesty's business." Liangchen smiled.

Li Yongzhen nodded and asked again: "When will the small case leader return to Beijing?"

"No hurry." Liangchen glanced at Li Yongzhen, "There are many charges on this case, and the father-in-law will help me investigate it carefully. We must neither listen to the sideliness nor wrongly accuse Eunuch Gao. What the emperor wants is the truth."

"Our family understands." Li Yongzhen replied in a low voice. The word truth is simple, but it is difficult to explore it.

Tian Gang and Li Wei brought the food, but Li Huoyang arranged for someone to send it.

After putting down the meal, Tian Gang and Li Wei were about to go down, but Liangchen asked them to sit down and eat. The two were stunned and couldn't help but feel a little grateful.

After dinner, when Li Wei packed the table, Liangchen suddenly told Li Yongzhen that someone was coming tonight.

Li Yongzhen was surprised and didn't know what Wei Liangchen was referring to.

Wei Liangchen smiled but said nothing. Half an hour later, someone really came.

The person who came was Li Huoyang, who was here to supplement Gao Huai's charges - "manipulate the Ma market, exploit the Jurchens, and arouse border provocations"

………

Since Taizu Hongwu, Liaodong has successively established horse markets such as Kaiyuan, Fushun, Kuandian, and Qinghe to provide trade exchanges among border residents. Most of the people entering the market were Haixi and Jianzhou Jurchens. Due to their living needs, they were all easy to feed and clothing in the mainland, and regarded the horse market as a "golden road" and used as a "domestic circulation" of goods.

The Ming court considered the most dangerous place among the nine borders, because Kaiyuan, Liaodong, was isolated from the sky and surrounded by barbarians. The city of Ma played an important role in protecting borders and seeking peace. Because most of the people who violated borders were leaders of various tribes. Therefore, after the beginning of the country, the officials who presided over the city of Ma had various preferential treatment for leaders of various tribes in order to ensure that they could honestly trade borders and not robbery again.
