After his death at the age of 60, the court posthumously gave him a surname, and posthumous title went to Zhongwu. Many people in Shu hang his portrait at home for worship. However, few people in later generations know that Wei Gao almost emptied Sichuan's financial resources by increasing taxes during our construction in the south.
Generally speaking, if officials don't persuade impeachment, they will at least be scolded by the people. How come here in Vigo, the treatment is different? Why did Wei sit in his position and do nothing when the financial resources of Shudu were almost hollowed out?
In the twenty-first year of Shu, Gauguin paid attention to taxes and gave generous gifts to lords and soldiers. Soldiers' weddings and funerals are all their expenses, so they can stay in their own places for a long time and have fun. They served Nanzhao and destroyed Tubo.
From a historical point of view, first of all, Wei's position is related to his favor. However, most of Wei Gao's tax revenue went to Tang Dezong. In addition, of course, there are senior officials of the court.
Eating people short, eating people soft, first of all, Tang Dezong won't think about dismissing Gao Wei after taking the big head. Even if someone occasionally suggested impeaching Tang Dezong, those senior officials who were taken hostage by Wei Gao would naturally put in a good word for him.
In this way, no matter what Wei Gao does in Sichuan, he doesn't need someone above to make trouble for himself. Not only that, Wei Gao is also very good at netting subordinates.
Wei Gao is generous to his soldiers. He often rewards and attracts people. Whenever soldiers get married or die, Wei Gao is responsible for their expenses. With such a boss, which soldier doesn't try his best to die?
With the support of soldiers, Wei Gaoting can fight. A group of loyal soldiers fought for him, and he himself was very talented in the military, so it was natural to make a meritorious military service.
In the 21st year of Shu, Wei and Nanzhao refused to go to Tibet. Every time 480,000 Tubo was broken, 5,500 butchers, governors, casting workers and cage officials were killed, more than 50,000 people were beheaded, 250,000 cattle and sheep were seized, and 6.3 million pieces of equipment were collected. His work is southwest drama. With the meritorious military service and car-scrapping, Gao Wei naturally has nothing to hide.
Therefore, Sichuan friends are unhappy. Think about it, the goods have dug up their own money, and their future is guaranteed, but can Sichuanese be spared?
This is Wei's ability to be a man. His long-term official worship is a secretariat. They have returned to the shogunate, but they will not return to North Korea because they are afraid to let go of what they have done. The treasury is real. When it is lenient to its people, it rents and pays taxes every three years.
Wei Gao's staff stayed for a long time, and most of them were recommended to be secretaries or staff officers. After the warehouse in the middle of Shu is abundant, it will give benefits to its own people from time to time, and it will be exempted from tax every three years.
Because of this, Shu people take their wisdom and fear their power. Up to now, their portraits are regarded as land gods and everyone worships them.
Wei Gao, who almost hollowed out Sichuan's financial resources, relied on these tricks to please the monarch, win over his subordinates and eliminate the hatred of the people. So I can stay in Sichuan for 2 1 year and live a happy life. At the age of 60, he was loyal to posthumous title and is still praised by Sichuanese.
