At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the year of Zhubian was only 220,000 taels, to the time of Wanli, the annual number increased to 3,800,000 taels, the Liaodong War began, in the 46th year of Wanli, the Liao salary was levied, mainly used for the military needs of Liaodong, to the end of the 48th year, except for a few areas such as Guizhou, the average per mu of land was levied 9 cents of silver, totaling 5,200,062 taels, and when the apocalypse, and the levy and the Guan, the salt and other miscellaneous silver taels.

It was only from the forty-sixth year of Wanli to the first year of the Apocalypse, in less than four years, the silver used in Liao reached 17.2 million taels, and at that time, how many Dingkou were built slaves? If these silvers could really be brought into play, Jiannu may have been wiped out long ago, but it is a pity that these silvers have fattened countless officials and countless military leaders in Liaodong, but only did not strengthen the strength of Liaodong, but were defeated by Jiannu one after another, and the land of Liaodong continued to fall.

In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are also countless officials and gentry who took the opportunity to levy a windfall on Liao, and the imperial court levied nine cents of silver per mu of land, and they dared to ask for double per mu of land, and the people who were oppressed were miserable, and some people continued to rise up, which further aggravated the already bad situation within the Ming Dynasty.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty also saw the danger clearly, and Bi Ziyan, the head of the household department, once said in the recital, "Even if the commander of the eastern division is in the cave, he will not leave a single arrow to the west, and my world has been sitting." "Jiannu only needs to occupy Liaodong, and there is no need to even attack the Guannai, and the Ming Dynasty will wither day by day because of the burden of Liao's salary.

Since this silver has not come in handy for real use, and has led to a series of problems, then there is no need for it to continue to exist, Li You said simply, but when he heard the ears of the ministers, it was like a thunderbolt, it has been more than ten years since the Liao Salary was launched, and countless officials have reaped benefits from it, they have long been accustomed to this piece of fat, and even formed a series of unspoken rules, and how much benefit can be shared in that position is almost a real thing, And now that Li You is about to cut off their extra money with a word, who is willing to agree?

"Your Majesty, if the Liao salary is cut off, I am afraid that the Guan Ning Army will be in danger of mutiny!" Since the Guanning army has reaped the most benefits from the Liaoning, then this black pot should be borne by them, and the Guanning army mutiny is not without precedent, Bi Ziyan's younger brother Bi Zisu died of grief and anger when he was patrolling Liaodong last year because of the mutiny of the soldiers, Qian Longxi took out this excuse to persuade Li You to change the decision to cut the Liaoyu.

And other officials also proceeded from their own interests, and came up with various excuses to try to stop Li You's decision, the reason why these people are so bold is that the prestige of the emperor in the middle and late dynasties is declining, if it is placed in the era of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di, once the emperor makes a decision, how dare they be so bold?

The reason for this is that most of the emperors at the beginning of the founding of the previous dynasties were rich and noble who fought with their own hands, and they knew all kinds of shortcomings at the bottom, and the minds of these people could never hide from their eyes, and most of the emperors in later generations grew up in the court and knew little about the outside world, and they were easily fooled by the ministers; Second, the founding emperor has already made countless achievements in the process of ascending the throne, and the prestige is unparalleled for a while, and the future emperors inherit the throne from their fathers and brothers, and the prestige only comes from the emperor's position, not personal ability, which is weaker.

Therefore, Li You will drive the expedition in person, in addition to finding a suitable excuse for summoning the Song army, he also wants to use this great victory to rebuild the prestige of the emperor, so that his policy can be implemented smoothly; But from the current point of view, the reaction of these courtiers seems to be a little sluggish, and they do not realize that the emperor on the throne today is very different from the previous Taichang and Tianqi emperors.

"Humph!" Li You slapped the dragon chair hard, and the noisy voice in the hall immediately quieted down, he stood up and looked at these uncompetitive guys, he had already given the opportunity just now, but unfortunately no one could understand his good intentions, it seems that this group of courtiers is no longer usable.

"What is the matter with the imperial court's collection of salaries? Isn't it to quell the rebellion in Liaodong? Return the world to a peace! And now the Guanning army consumes millions of dollars every year, not only to gain an inch, but also repeatedly broken through the pass by Jiannu, so what is the use of asking them? He now seems to understand a little bit about the reason why when he read online novels, those protagonists knew that Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and others were traitors, and they still wanted to take them for their own use.

Because even if their character is unbearable, they still have some personal ability, and they can play a certain role after being included in the command, and looking around at these courtiers who are full of poetry and books, not only are their character unbearable, but their ability is also extremely worrisome.

"Pass the decree and tell the Liao Governor that if they don't send troops to Liaodong within three months and defeat Jiannu, not only will the Liao salary be revoked, but there is no need for the Guanning army to exist, what is the use of raising this kind of waste to the imperial court?" There is no benefit in keeping the Guanning army except for dragging down the finances of the imperial court, if they are willing to follow the orders of the imperial court to eliminate the Jiannu, then Li Youzi will reasonably allude to them, if not, then what awaits the Guanning army is only destruction.

"Your Majesty, you must not destroy the Great Wall, now I am Ming, except for the Guan Ning Army, who else can stop Jiannu? If so......" As soon as the words fell, some people came out to oppose it.

"Cao Huachun!" Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Li You set his eyes on Cao Huachun, since you want to die so much, I will fulfill you.

"The slave is here." Cao Huachun had already prepared for this, he stepped forward and said with a sad smile, "Wang Shilang, in June last year, Zu Dashou sent someone to your mansion to send five thousand taels of silver, but is there such a thing?" In July, your nephew bought a new courtyard in the capital, and said that it cost 3,000 taels of silver, but our family found out that it was a gift, not only did not spend a penny, but also left a room of furniture, calligraphy and paintings, and slaves in vain, which add up to more than 10,000 taels of silver, and it was Guan Ningjun's people who gave this generous gift; And on New Year's Day last year, there was another envoy to the Ning army......"

Cao Huachun counted the bribes that this person had accepted from Guan Ningjun from last year to the present, the time, place, bribe amount and the names of the relevant personnel were all omitted, the more the squire listened, the more frightened he became, and finally he fell headlong without waiting for Cao Huachun to finish speaking, and fainted on top of the court.
