Li You read that Wen Yan Bing was not wrong. This poison scholar was very capable. In the past, he was so-called bound just because of his identity. When Li You only opened his restraint and gave Wen Yan Bing unlimited freedom, Wen Yan Bing gave Li You a surprise.

With the planning of classical Chinese betting, football gambling was quickly promoted and received a very enthusiastic love. For the first time, football gambling was purchased by one million people in Chang'an, and 100,000 people. Among these people, there were not only gamblers, from the elderly to the young, and the purchases were more people who really loved football.

The harvest was tens of thousands of yuan at once, which instantly made many aristocratic families jealous. After Li You's gambling success, those aristocratic families came to Li You immediately. The reason for finding them was to get a share of the pie, but Li You directly rejected these people.

Li You's behavior aroused the jealousy of the aristocratic families.

So these aristocratic families gathered together to attack Li You's football betting. On the same day, the censors of the thirteen aristocratic families listed a total of five crimes against Li You's football betting.

The most important one is to compete with the people for profit.

It means that Li You is snatching money from the people, this is the most humble place in these aristocratic families.

Of course, this is not wrong. If the royal family does not compete for profit with the people and then keeps benevolence and righteousness in their hearts all the time, then the world will be well.

However, this sentence came to the mouths of the aristocratic families. Because of the difference in understanding one word, the aristocratic families who were full of "benevolence and righteousness" were so shameless.

While you keep shouting righteously that you cannot compete for profit with the people, but you are desperately trying to exploit the common people and take advantage of the people's profits. How humiliating is that?

The most representative time should be the Ming Dynasty. In the early days of its establishment, Zhu Yuanzhang himself was a peasant and the poorest peasant, so he treated the peasants quite well.

At the same time, during Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion against the Yuan Dynasty, another group of people also helped him a lot, that is, the Jiangnan gentry.

The so-called gentry were mostly inherited from poetry and books, and the family industry was huge and had very strong financial resources.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who lived a hard life, was very nostalgic. After becoming the emperor, he treated the peasants well on the one hand with light taxes and levies, and on the other hand he gave privileges to the gentry, that is, scholars.

The Ming Dynasty stipulated that scholars with fame and fortune could have the power to be exempted from tax. Perhaps it was because there were not many scholars when the Ming Dynasty was just founded, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not discover that his preferential policy for scholars would eventually become an important reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

These scholars were actually those aristocratic families during the Tang Dynasty. Because scholars did not have to pay tax on their land and their industries did not have to pay taxes. Therefore, scholars who specialize in articles began to gradually turn the establishment of industries into their main functions. They combined them with merchants, and they provided protection and tax exemption for merchants, while merchants provided them with vague money, and they used this money to continuously expand their industries.

There were more and more corrupt officials, and border troubles continued to increase. The farmers could not receive a few taxes, and scholars did not allow taxes to merchants. The finances of the Ming Dynasty finally had major problems. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the annual tax revenue was no more than 4 million taels, and the army began to delay wages, and its combat effectiveness decreased significantly.

During the Wanli period, the emperor began to increase commercial tax and mining tax, which was fiercely opposed by civil servants... Because the increased tax actually means paying money from their pockets. At this time, the officials released the famous Confucian classic remarks, "Those who eat money are not allowed to compete for profit with the people of the lower class, and those who suffer the big ones are not allowed to gain small ones." However, does commercial tax really fall on the people of the lower class?

No, if the merchants and mines at that time had few civil servants behind them, could they survive well?

Emperor Wanli did not care about the quarrels of these officials below, and the taxes they should be collected were still collected. Therefore, during the period of Emperor Wanli, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty gradually recovered, and the "Three Major Contributions of Wanli" were launched, and the powerful forces around them were pressed on the ground and taught a lesson. He once again sweared to the surrounding countries: The Ming Dynasty is still the same Ming Dynasty, and you can't provoke it!

However, after the Wanli period, the two emperors in the Ming Dynasty were very short-lived, and they all died abnormally... There are also speculations that they were assassinated and died because they touched the interests of some people.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the young Ming Guangzong died inexplicably after taking "red pills" and that the lively Zhu Youxiao actually died of a cold caused by a waterfall. Next was Emperor Chongzhen.

Because he heard too many bad things about Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch party when he was not the emperor (in fact, the eunuch party was really bad for the officials, but their taxes on merchants greatly reduced the pressure on farmers), Emperor Chongzhen found a way to get rid of Wei Zhongxian and vigorously promoted the "righteous gentleman" Donglin Party members at that time. Donglin Academy wrote a pair in front of the door: "The sound of wind and rain sounded and the sound of reading is heard, and family affairs, state affairs and the world are concerned about everything."

This is used to show their style of a gentleman. However, the "righteous gentleman" are most concerned about not "national affairs and the world". They only care about their own business and mining income. So as soon as they came to power, they asked Wei Zhongxian to ban the commercial tax and mining tax that were once again imposed on Wei Zhongxian in order to achieve the role of "not competing for profit with the people."

However, the treasury is not enough money, and there is still war on the front line. Where does the money come from?

Of course it comes from the farmers!

So they raised taxes on those hungry and full farmers. So the question arises, are farmers considered "people"? Is raising taxes on farmers considered "competing for profit with the people"?

In the eyes of the Donglin Party, farmers are definitely not considered "people". Only "people" who can provide their pockets with white money can be considered real "people". How can farmers plant those acres of land every day and cannot make money for them?

The sub-saint Mencius once said: "It is not difficult to govern, and you will not be punished by a huge family." This means that governing the country is very simple. As long as you do not offend those big families, you will be able to do everything you have to do with their support.

This is even more true for these officials. As long as they speak for their respective families, they can be as stable as Mount Tai in the officialdom. Even if they are occasionally dismissed from office, someone will recommend you later.

In this way, farmers became the only people in the Ming Dynasty who were not considered "people". In northern Shaanxi, the land was barren, and the climate was abnormal at that time, and the grain was almost out of stock. At that time, the court laid off employees on the only post station that could still give the people some income. The farmers who sold their children but could not survive were forced to go to Liangshan and could only rise up with Li Zicheng's rise. For a time, the world was surging, and the kind Chongzhen insisted on "the thief was also a child" at this time.

But the innocent people cannot survive, they also want to "kill the regicide"!

The Donglin Party of the Ming Dynasty was actually a family of the Tang Dynasty, and the tricks made by the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty were no different from the Donglin Party of the Ming Dynasty.

They are all so lowly and so bastard, but what is different from the Donglin Party is that the emperors encountered by these aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty were Li Shimin, and the object they were slandering was Li You from the modern era.

...................................................................

"Damn it..."

After Li Shimin saw the above statement from the thirteen censors, Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was furious. This loud rage made the officials of the aristocratic families present happy.

Because this shows that Li Shimin is angry.

But these censors and officials would not have thought that this bastard made Changsun Wuji frown slightly, because the bastard was so weird.

You should know that Li You helped Li Shimin settle the message between the prince and the King of Wei just now. It was favored. Even if Li You did something wrong, he should be protected according to Li Shimin's habits.

Why did Li Shimin suddenly become so angry at this time? His behavior was very strange, and there must be fraud.

"Your Majesty..." A censor of a noble family couldn't help but walk out of his position and came to Li Shimin and bowed: "The King of Qi Li You and the people should be deprived of the title of King of Qi."

Seeing that the censor was about to make a contribution, the other censors hurriedly stepped forward to put pressure on Li Shimin.

Looking at the censors bowing in front of him, Li Shimin sneered and said, "Are there any other people who want to submit a coup with Li You? If so, it is best to stand up now and let me see you... You must know that it is a good opportunity now. If you don't submit a coup, there will be no chance."

As soon as these words were said, all Li Shimin's confidants knew that Li You would not be in trouble, but the censors who had submitted the letter were in trouble.

Sure enough, Li Shimin quickly changed his words and said, "I remember that this is not the first time that You'er has been submitted to the public for profit. This should be the second time. Only one of them was the Censor Wang Xingzuo.

The result at that time was that Wang Xingzuo was exiled.

Then I stipulated that the censor does have the right to report the news, but you must also have an understanding of what you have reported, and cannot just imagine it out of thin air. This time I want to ask you, have you learned the whole truth of the matter?"

When Li Shimin asked this, the censors were slightly stunned. Everyone knew about Wang Xingzuo's last incident, and everyone knew what Li Shimin asked later, but today's Li You football betting was really not unexpected.

They have seen many of the information with their own eyes, and it is absolutely impossible to have a false one. They use football to lure the people into gambling and make money from the people. During this period, Li You did not pay any substantial items, so they will definitely not repeat Wang Xingzuo's mistakes.

So after Li Shimin asked, all the censors bowed again and said that they had learned the whole truth.

But after the censors finished speaking, Li Shimin sneered again: "I have given you a chance, but you haven't mastered it..."
