Li Wei was an official of the Qing Dynasty. He is an official by donating officials. Why did he become a government official in a short time?

Li Wei was born in Fengxian County, Jiangsu Province, according to Li Wei Chuan, a draft of Qing history. He was born in the 26th year of Kangxi. At the age of 30, that is, in the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi, he spent money to buy himself a five-grade official named Yuan Wailang. Although it is a sinecure, it is higher than the county magistrate. In the same year, Li Jue went to Beijing to be the minister of the Ministry of War and worked as a doctor of the Ministry for two years.

Because Li Jue was not afraid of power, he once publicly exposed the fact that a prince was hiding money, which was discovered by Yong Zhengdi, so he was promoted immediately after he ascended the throne. After Yong Zhengdi succeeded to the throne, he first became a salt official, and the next year he was promoted to a minister, and he was already a government official. In the third year, he was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang, which is equivalent to the current governor of Zhejiang. Later, in the fourth year, he served as the salt ambassador of the two Huai Dynasties, and in the fifth year, he was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang, becoming the largest fairy in Zhejiang at that time.

The reason why Yong Zhengdi values Li Wei so much is because Li Wei is honest and dares to speak and do. Second, he is honest and upright. Although the initial official position was bought with money, he never thought of getting back his capital and making a fortune, but he really wanted to be a good official with ability. Third, be loyal to Yongzheng. Yong Zhengdi metasomatism, he dutifully to do, yongzheng very satisfied with the results.

Although Li Jue was not born in the imperial examination, he was brilliant and able to improvise and deal with various complicated situations reasonably. Moreover, Yong Zhengdi's criteria for selecting officials don't look at his background, but only at whether he has real talent and practical learning. Li Jue was able to hold a high position without knowing a word because he met Yong Zhengdi, who had a good eye for talents.
