Chapter 81: The Li Family of Huiningbo

The Li family of Huining Bo can only be regarded as a second-rate nobleman in Beijing, but it is famous in Xining. He is the biggest official from Xiningwei.

As mentioned above, the honorable is the top-level building of the guard system.

There are more than 300 guards in the Ming Dynasty, only a few of them have no backers, and most of them are the self-reserved places of a certain noble in the capital.

Or the guard set up by the ancestors, or a certain nobleman was born in a certain guard, or the children of the family held a position in a certain place. And so on and so forth.

For example, Shi Heng, although he is a newly acquired prince, he has some special interests in Haixi.

Even if Zhu Qizhen reformed the Beijing camp, this connection was not completely severed, and if you think about it, you can know that most of the students of martial arts are hereditary officers of the Wei Institute, and Zhu Qizhen cannot change it.

It's just that after Zhu Qizhen reorganized the Beijing camp, the weights of the guards and the Beijing camp have changed somewhat. More orthodox nobles care more about the right to speak in the country's military, rather than glory and wealth.

And some of the nobles who didn't catch up are still the same as before.

The Hui Ning Bo Li family is one of them.

The Li family of Huiningbo claimed to be the fifth generation of Li Keyong. First in Western Xia, and then migrated to the Western Regions. And what really started in Daming, it was Li Nange, at the turn of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, who raised Xining to descend to Ming. During the Hongwu period, the official went to Xiningwei to command the affairs.

His son Li Ying is an important figure in the rise of the Li family.

He repeatedly fought with the West, and made a lot of military exploits, the most famous battle was the Western Regions to kill the imperial court envoys, Li Ying went out of Kunlun Mountain for hundreds of miles, chased and killed, and it was with this merit that he would meet Ningbo.

It's just that Li Ying has a lot of credit, but Li Ying himself is not a clean person.

During the Hongxi period, there was a royal history that accused Li Ying of violating the law and discipline. However, Emperor Renzong forgave Li Ying and did not pursue it, and only transferred this imperial history away from Xining.

Emperor Renzong may not know whether it is true or not, but this kind of general who has been on the side for a long time is better to be cautious.

After Xuanzong ascended the throne, Li Ying led the Xining Weiban army into the Beijing camp and followed Xuanzong out of the fortress, but he also had some military exploits, but soon the East Window incident occurred.

Especially Li Ying intervened, Xining commanded Qi Zhen's family affairs, and wanted to support his nephew to become the commander, this matter, Xining's Qi family and the Li family turned against each other.

broke out a lot of black material about the Li family. Therefore, Li Ying was imprisoned.

It's just that after all, he was a hero, and he was finally released, and he died of illness in the second year of orthodoxy. The matter of his son's succession to the title has been delayed. After Zhu Qizhen became pro-government, in order to win over the nobles, he relaxed in many places, Li Ying's son, Li Yong also took office at this time, and now Li Yong is serving in the Beijing camp.

Of course, this will Ning Bo Li Yong in the Beijing camp, and he is also a figure who cannot be ranked, and Fan Guang's status may not be below Li Yong. But there seem to be a lot of great Ming nobles, but they are really scattered all over the place, but not every one

The guard can produce one.

Relying on the presence of Hui Ningbo in Beijing, the Li family is the first of many families in Xining.

Of course, the reason why the Li family has such a big momentum is not just because of Hui Ningbo.

After all, although Hui Ningbo is noble, he has also been transferred to the Beijing Division, and he can only be used as a backer.

The reason why the Li family in Xining is so prosperous makes Yu Qian look sideways is that the strength of the Li family in Xining itself is strong enough.

Because the Li family in Xining not only served in the guard, but also served as a local official.

The Li family, the Qi family, and the Chen family in Xining are all Xining Tusi, each with their own land. One of the important crimes for which Li Ying was imprisoned was the embezzlement of more than 700 households by the Li family.

The Li family brought the people of the imperial court under their jurisdiction.

And what is the concept of more than 700 households. In the Ming Dynasty, there were an average of four or five people in a household. 700 households is more than 3,000 people? In the previous government archives, there were only more than 15,000 people in Xining.

That is, the Li family embezzled nearly one-fifth.

And this is just embezzlement, not counting the people originally owned by the Li family.

This is also the reason why Emperor Renzong favored the Li family, because in Xining, the Li family may not have fewer people than Xiningwei.

And the Li family also served in Xining Weizhong. More of its own influence penetrated into Xiningwei.

It's almost a separation.

The imperial court may not be able to deal with them. But it's really beyond the reach of the whip.

So even if you don't look at the face of Hui Ningbo, the Li family in Xining can be called a local hero.

There is no need to investigate, if the tea and horse smuggling trade can bypass the Li family in Xining, it will be a strange thing. The Li family in Xining is also one of the big names that the Songpan ministries can't provoke.

The person in charge of the Li family in Xining is Li Wen, the second room of the Li family, and the nephew of Li Ying, the Bo of Huining. Sitting in Xining also has some military achievements.

However, Yu Qian carefully investigated, and Li Wen's military exploits were mostly based on the strength of the Li family. Li Wen's strength is not necessarily what ability he uses. It's just that Lee Vin is politically astute enough.

It seems that he has communicated with the current Hui Ningbo Li Yong. As soon as Yu Qian took office, he came over to tell Yu Qian the inside story of the tea and horse trade.

In order to make meritorious service in order to replace the sin.

The reason why Yu Qian was able to block the smuggling routes one by one so smoothly was not necessarily without the help of the Li family.

This is what Qiu Jun's department knows.

It's a pity that even so, Yu Qian can't let go of the Li family.

It's not that Yu Qian is stingy and turns his face and doesn't recognize people. But Yu Qian understood it too much. If the imperial court does not have enough say in Xiningwei, then after the tea and horse trade is rectified now, it will become the same in just two or three years.

The reason why the tea and horse trade is deserted. In fact, with the Ming Taizu to the Xining Huang generation only used the earth flow miscellaneous and the means of rule

It is also dominated by health centers.

After the collapse of the health post system, the officials at all levels of the guard center embezzled the tuntian, and the guard post almost became the family property of hereditary officers who were hereditary and reckless, and the authority of the government was gone.

Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be a matter of asking for fish for the sake of the normal trade of tea and horses?

Therefore, Yu Qian felt that to ensure the tea and horse trade, it was necessary to rectify Xining and other health centers.

It is not an opportune time to change the land and return to the stream. After all, the enemy of the Ming Dynasty is in the north, and if something happens here in Qinghai, it will distract the attention of the imperial court.

But rectifying the guard is Daming's own business.

If it really doesn't work, then turn Xiningwei into Xining Prefecture again, set up liuguan management, restore the most basic administrative order, and even think that in the future, he will inspect the imperial history of tea and horses, and stay in Xining, so as to form a normal state, so as to control the tea and horse trade at a certain scale.

It's not that there won't be tax evasion and smuggling trade.

It's the court watching here, even if they evade taxes, they must give the emperor a little face. This ensured that the imperial court could receive a certain percentage of the income in the tea and horse trade.

Otherwise, even if the tea law is changed for the better. It's just a tree without roots.

Historically, Yang Yiqing, a famous minister during the Hongzhi period, also reformed the tea and horse trade, but the result was only two or three years, and the people died in government, what is the reason?

What are the disadvantages of the tea method?

However, the tea law has been improved by the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, and the tax introduction system has been implemented, even if it is already relatively perfect, there may be defects, but there is no defect that makes the whole system unable to be implemented.

It is the administrative power in the Hehuang area, which has long been carved up by the local Tusi tyrants. The court asked them if they wanted a piece of the pie.

Even if there is a famous minister in power, after a period of strong implementation. But it will bounce back in a few years.

Yu Qian saw this, so even if the Li family had surrendered in advance, and could even hand over most of the channels for the tea and horse trade, Yu Qian still couldn't let go of the Li family.

This is a matter of political stance, not Yu Qian's attitude towards the Li family.

However, it depends on whether the Li family can be interesting to the end.

If they can really understand the interest to the end, Yu Qian can also give the Li family some benefits, let the Li family return to Beijing to develop, and say good things in front of the emperor, so that the title of Huining Bo can last a little longer, and even the Li family has a double lord, it may not be impossible.

But if it's not interesting.

Yu Qian can only use thunder means.

If you don't clean up the Li family, the biggest snake in Xining and the one who has embezzled the most guards, there is no way to talk about Yu Qian's next methods.

The times dictate, politics is like this, it's not that Yu Qian wants to take care of his feelings, he can take care of it.

The Li family didn't know Yu Qian's plans yet, and was happily preparing to welcome Yu Qian.
