To put it bluntly, officials used the money from the people of the Ming Dynasty to give to these tribal leaders in exchange for their "long-term stability" during their tenure.

This practice has another name, called "Toping and Being Strong". It means that the Ming Dynasty gives you more, and does not make money from you. Just stay there and don't make trouble.

The Zhuma City in Liaodong can bring huge profits to the Jurchen tribes. According to Li Huoyang, there are always seven out of ten.

With such huge profits, without special circumstances, the leaders of various Jurchen tribes would never destroy the Ma market, because the robbery gains were not as profitable as those of the Ma market trade.

However, all this was destroyed by Gao Huai.

Before Gao Huai entered Liao, the first official Yan Dajing included the economic income of "Kaiyuan, Guangning Ma City" in the memorial book. As soon as Gao Huai arrived in Liaodong, he made regulations on the Ma City: "Add an additional 2,000 taels of silver per year."

Not only that, as the "instructor" sent by the emperor, Gao Huai made full use of his identity. Whenever the horse market opened, Gao Huai would send many people in to pick some better horses, saying that they would pay tribute to the emperor, either only half the price of the horse or just some goods to make excuses, and the horse would take it away in a noble manner.

After getting these horses, Gao Huai transported the strongest to Kansai to sell for profit, while the old and weak deliberately set high prices and forced them to various military camps and other castles to make profits from them.

"The angels can see that Gao Huai not only controlled the horse market, exploited the Jurchens, but also falsely passed imperial edicts and blackmailed the vassal states." Li Huoyang became more and more angry as he spoke, saying that Gao Huai not only monopolized the Liaodong horse market, but also connected to the Yalu River horse market to North Korea.

In the 28th and 30th year of Wanli, Gao Huai sent two commissioners Zhang Qian. Li Zitai asked the Li Dynasty for more than a thousand local specialties, forcing the Li Dynasty government to search for eight roads across the country to meet Gao Huai's requirements.

"Last year, Gao Huai was exploited by Gao Huai in Qing Hippo City and was deeply troubled by the Jurchens. He tied up his subordinates' tax eunuchs, and were not allowed to enter and leave, and were not given food, which made him die of hunger and thirst. After hearing this, he applauded!" When Li Huoyang said this, he gritted his teeth and wished he was present to help the Jurchens tie up Gao Huai people together.

"Not only that, Gao Huai also angered Nurhaci, the leader of the right guard of Jianzhou, and he exploited the Jianzhou Jurchens in an extra charge in Fushun, and forced the sale in a reduced price. However, he never gave the ginseng that owed Nurhaci, but never gave the pearl price."

"There is still this?"

Liang Chen was so happy that he was secretly happy in his heart, and he admired Gao Huai very much. This father-in-law is so brave that he dared to touch lice on the tiger's head. It's amazing, amazing.

One day, if I could be like Gao Huai, wouldn’t it be awesome for me?

Well, he can replace it.

The good minister was very yearning, but he didn't want to. Li Huoyang said, "The angel didn't know. I just got the news that Nurhaci led 5,000 elite cavalry and set up camp at Fushun Pass. He asked Gao Huai to return the ginseng money. He threatened to give him the ginseng money and attacked my ginseng money if he didn't give it."

Hiss!
