There were two million kilograms of salt in Liaodong. In the past, the number of salt workers gathered near Yingkou was as many as 30,000 to 40,000. Later, although the Liaodong salt field declined and many salt workers fled, when Gao pragmatically dismissed the salt workers, There are less than 20,000 salt cubes left, but there are still about 17,000 to 8,000.
According to common sense, after these 17,000 to 8,000 salt workers are demobilized and returned to the Guard, since the Jinghua Salt Farm will replenish the salt in the future, they will not actually become a burden to the Guard. Because of quality and quantity, the health center actually still makes money.
However, the voices in the court obviously did not come from this direction.
The Shandong Province Supervisory Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate (at the central level, not the patrol) said that nearly 20,000 salt workers have been making salt for generations and have no other skills except making salt. The Liaodong Yuanmasi Qing was suddenly dismissed. Once he returns to the guard, , Everything is difficult to do, and you will be despised by the guards. Although Yuan Masiqing paid a salary for one year, what will happen after one year? In this way, it will become a local hidden danger in the long run.
In addition, since they do not have any skills at their disposal, they will be supported by the guards as disciples, and they will also be burdened by the guards. However, the guards in Liaodong are already in poverty, so how can they bear the burden? This relationship has lasted for a long time, and everyone above and below is resentful. How can it be without disaster?
Gao Jingshi didn't know the censor, nor was he interested in knowing about it. However, after this memorial was posted, the subsequent turmoil caused by it came immediately.
In the beginning, it was only some scientific and technical officials who came to the throne, and their rhetoric was nothing more than that this highly pragmatic move caused hidden dangers to the guards in Liaodong. Naturally, some officials from the pragmatic school protested and responded, saying that since the quality and quantity of the salt can be maintained in the future, all the people in Liaodong will be protected. What Wei has gained is far better than before. Even if he keeps this batch of salt cubs for nothing, he will be safe.
Furthermore, although these saltmen are good at making salt, since they can make salt, their physical fitness is not too bad. Even if they are not strong enough to fight in the war after returning to the guard, things like plowing the fields will not be difficult. How can we say that studying has become a burden for the guards?
The two sides were arguing and reached a stalemate for a while. There seemed to be some dissent from the cabinet. For seven or eight days in a row, there was no news, that is, no conclusion.
At this time, Liaodong suddenly sent a bunch of reports, all sent by the guards. The meanings expressed by most of the guards were very unfavorable to Gao pragmatism.
There are two representative theories: First, although these salt cubes belong to the Wei Dynasty, they actually went to Yingkou to make salt at the beginning of the founding of the Kingdom, and have not been able to return to the Wei Dynasty for nearly two hundred years. Therefore, " "Although he is affiliated with this guard, he is really like a stranger." If he is suddenly dismissed and returns to the guard, he will inevitably have conflicts with the military households of this guard, and even cause conflicts.
Second, the land belonging to the guard has been allocated long ago. There is no land to resettle these saltmen after they come back. But if they are not resettled, they will become idlers. Even if the Jinghua Salt Farm ensures that the salt is of sufficient quality and quantity, the guard will raise these saltmen. It is not possible to criticize people - according to the experience of the past and present, the more idle people are, the easier it is for them to idle around, disturb the place and cause hidden dangers.
Why these guards suddenly opposed Liaodong Dusi Shangshu in such a coordinated manner is something anyone can figure out with your feet - although Liaodong Dusi is theoretically not under the jurisdiction of the general army.
But in fact, in a land like Liaodong, the Dusi cannot compete with the General Army. Even if its official superior is the governor of Liaodong, the influence of the General Army of Liaodong on the Dusi is large enough, and even the current Liaodong Dusi has entered Liaodong. A part of the promotion system for generals.
For example, Feng Wenbi, the current capital of Liaodong, has been concurrently serving as Guangning Zuoying guerrilla since the seventh year of Wanli [found in "Shen Zong Shilu"]. As for the position of Guangning Zuoying guerrilla, it is a no-brainer that he must be a direct descendant of Li Chengliang. .
So Gao Jingshi quickly received a letter from Jingli, asking him to quickly communicate his thoughts to Jingli.
The person who said this was naturally Zhang Siwei. Although Zhang Siwei could not compare with Gao Gong's holy family members, nor could he compare with Guo Pu's deep qualifications, his qualifications as a cabinet minister were quite sufficient, and secondly, he was a real minister. The current leader of the school is the legitimate chief assistant in Third Lai. In fact, he can decide whether to suppress the matter or not.
But the problem was that he didn't know what kind of decree Gao Jingshi had received from the emperor, and he was worried that if he suppressed Li Chengliang too hard, there would be a sudden power vacuum in Liaodong, and the Tumen would take advantage of him, so he had to temporarily Watch from the wall and let the people below perform.
However, he obviously didn't really want to sit on the sidelines, so as soon as the incident came out, he immediately asked Gao Mo, who was staying in Yanjing, to contact Gao Pangshi as quickly as possible and ask him about his attitude towards Li Chengliang to facilitate decision-making.
Because Jinghua had the best fast horse in the Ming Dynasty at this time, Gao pragmatically responded quickly.
In his reply to Zhang Siwei, Gao pragmatically gave a not very clear, but not particularly vague answer to the question of how to deal with Li Chengliang: "We will not hold Ning Yuanbo accountable for the time being. The following can be considered as appropriate."
At the same time, Gao pragmatically gave Zhang Siwei a reassurance. In his reply, he said that the resettlement of salt pods was actually very easy to handle. It was not a problem at all that the health centers were unwilling to accept this batch of salt pods. Worry, just leave it to me, I have experience.
After Zhang Siwei received the letter, after much thought, he could only think of one reason, that is, Gao pragmatically planned to take in these salt cubs, which should be taken directly into the Jinghua Salt Farm.
In his opinion, this is indeed a good idea. After all, the Jinghua Salt Farm requires people to operate. Although his nephew has an astonishing number of servants, they are actually like carrots and pitfalls. They all have their "own jobs." Yes, it doesn't mean that he has a large number of idle people and can switch careers to become a saltman at any time.
Since these saltmen were rejected by the various guards, their military registrations would have to be cancelled. What household registrations these people would change to would be a problem in itself.
But it would be easier to handle it if Gao Pragmatic accepted him. Whether he was a servant or a hired worker, there would always be a place for him, and at the same time, the Jinghua Salt Farm would have manpower.
The only problem is probably that Jinghua Saltworks needs to pay again, but... Zhang Siwei estimates that Gao Pragmatic is unlikely to care about this.
Since Gao Jingshi gave the accurate letter, Zhang Siwei did not hesitate, and he was a bit ruthless.
On the sixth day after receiving the letter, the Shandong censor An Jiuyu's memorial arrived in Beijing. He did not care about the previous problems of the Liaodong salt field, but impeached Feng Wenbi, the capital of Liaodong.
An pointed out that there were two charges for impeaching Feng Wenbi, one was "false errand" and the other was "privately releasing military prisoners".
"Fake mission" refers to fabricating a court mission and letting the guards under the Liaodong Dusi handle it; private release of military prisoners means that some deserters from the guards will not be held accountable.
Hmm... How should I put it? An Zhizhi actually didn't need to investigate these two crimes. All previous Liaodong governors, unless they took office less than a month ago, would be accurate in investigating them.
If I don't go on a "false errand", who will help me with the affairs of Dusi's family? Does it cost me nothing to hire a servant? There are twenty-five guards under Du Si, can't you do some work for me?
As for the private release of military prisoners... Haha, real military prisoners will definitely not be released privately. The Liaodong Dusi still enforces the law strictly on this point, because they are all serfs of the Dusi-Wei Station. So, what happened to the military prisoners who were released privately, and where were they released?
The answer is, let them work as servants of the generals - these people are rare outstanding people in the guard, and they are better at fighting, so they should find a crime to inflict, and then beat them into military prisoners.
At this time, some generals who are interested in him will come to the rescue and say that as long as you are willing to be my servant, I will wipe off your crime.
If you were this private criminal, would you rather be unjustly beheaded, or "flee three thousand miles", or would you rather be a well-fed and popular servant of a general? You can choose correctly with your toes!
Why is it that the guards are getting weaker and weaker, while the general servants are getting better and better? Isn’t that how it came about?
So An Zhizhi pointed out that as soon as the impeachment went up, smart people would know that Feng Wenbi could not be saved - even Li Chengliang could not save him if he came forward in person.
Who made him do this? Gao Pragmatic also said that Li Chengliang himself cannot be touched, then... if not, who will hit you?
And why was Zhang Siwei able to persuade the censor of Shandong Province (who also patrolled Liaodong) to come forward in such a short period of time?
Well, because An Jiuyu Anzhi was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing, a native of Yuzhou, Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan, and lived "next door" to Gao Pragmatic.
