In this regard, Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty made it clear: "I only believe half of it" and asked the staff to examine political achievements based on actual facts and not to trust reports easily. When he was in power, in order to obtain political achievements, an official in a certain place frequently recruited migrant workers to overhaul water conservancy projects regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and forced "Ding Jun to contribute five hundred yuan as capital." When the water conservancy project is completed, the report will come up. The Ministry of Civil Affairs proposed to promote him, but Yongzheng sent someone to investigate and found that his political achievements were real, but they delayed agricultural production and increased the burden on farmers, resulting in "democratic complaints." So, he wrote and said: "No!" This person's path to promotion was cut off. "Salty, bitter, spicy, sour" to be treated by the governor. In the Qing Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy reviewed the king's fortune, served the government honestly and lived an extremely simple life. He built his house in a narrow alley with a low door. Wang Yun said: "My house is built in an alley. Officials who come to visit me can't enter even if they are riding sedans or horses. This can save money for the country. The door is low, so that they can bend down and think about poverty." The suffering of the people." Once, Yu Chengge, Wang Yun's student and governor of Shandong, came to visit him. Wang Yun specially prepared four dishes of salted fish, bitter gourd, pepper and pickled radish for the reception. During the dinner, he said to Yu Chengge: "You have eaten a lot of delicious food while studying and becoming an official. Today I invite you to taste the salty, bitter, spicy and sour taste." Yu Chengge understood the teacher's painstaking efforts and went back Later, he wrote a couplet and hung it in the study as a motto: "To pay homage to the teacher, follow the instructions, and live in the world with four tastes; to treat the wise men, to observe the people's sentiments, and to be humble." From then on, Yu Chengge devoted himself to serving the people. He did many good deeds and was praised by the people. Burning boats to call nails In the government-run shipyards of the Song Dynasty, craftsmen often took advantage of poor management and falsely reported the number of nails used, pocketing their own money. Shipbuilding officials were troubled by the nails driven into the ship and could not take them out to weigh them, so they had no choice but to let the craftsmen make false claims and overpay. A man named Xu Yuan was appointed as the shipping judge. After taking office, he wanted to get rid of this shortcoming. One day, he came to the shipbuilding site and asked the craftsmen to pull over a newly completed new ship and set it on fire. The ship was burned incorrectly, leaving a pile of ship nails. He asked people to gather the ship nails and weigh them, and found that the ship nails were only equivalent to "one-tenth of the broken (reimbursed) nails." Since then, the number of nails used in ships has been used as a reference to plug the loophole of falsely reporting the number of nails used. The origin of the capitalization of the amount: In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, a major corruption case occurred - the "Guo Huan Case". Guo Huan once served as a waiter in the Ministry of Household Affairs. During his tenure, he used his power to collude with other officials and embezzled government money and grain, totaling 24 million dan of fine grain. The case implicated many government officials and landowners in many parts of the country. Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard about the case. He ordered tens of thousands of Guo Huan and other convicts to be beheaded in public. At the same time, strict laws were formulated to punish economic crimes, and some effective measures were taken in financial management. One of the more important ones was to change "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, one hundred thousand" to "one two three Four, five, six, eight, nine, one hundred thousand." Yang Jian Punished His Son Yang Jun, the third son of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian, was appointed King of Qin from an early age. He became an official in his teens and made many military exploits. Therefore, he did not take national laws into consideration at all, and ordered his men to find ways to exploit the people, making them miserable. After Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty learned about it, he sent people to investigate and deal with it, and arrested hundreds of Yang Jun's minions. Even so, Yang Jun still did not want to repent. He asked people to build an official palace for himself according to the appearance of the imperial palace. He painted the walls with high-grade materials, paved the steps with gold and white jade, and inlaid mirrors and fixed beads on the pillars, doors and windows. ...Eating, drinking and having fun all day long, feeding the common people. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was furious and ordered Yang Jun to be removed from his official position. Minister Yang Su said to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty: "The punishment imposed on King Qin is too severe. Please reconsider it!" Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty said to Yang Su seriously: "The royal children and the common people should use the same law. You are having difficulty in giving birth. Do you want workers to take the lead in violating national laws?" In this way, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty finally dismissed Yang Jun from his official position and ordered all the luxurious decorations in Yang Jun's palace to be destroyed. Soon, Yang Jun fell ill and died. During the Lian Shiqing Dynasty, there was a county official in Xinghua whose surname was Yan Mingqing. As soon as he took office, he announced: "There is a sky in Xinghua, and Yan Qing will leave his name." He accepts gifts and does not listen to slander. Everyone calls him "clear in all cases and fair in everything". In the blink of an eye, Yan Qing's three-year term has expired, and everyone praises him for his innocence.Yan Qing himself was also very happy. When he left office, he held 10 banquets and publicly thanked everyone at the county government office, saying that he kept his promise and came and left in vain. Unexpectedly, before the banquet started, a young man came with a big herring in his hand. There was also a note on the fish, which read: "If the father doesn't see you off and the son sees you off, the head will be clear and the tail will be unclear." Yan Qing said again Look at that herring. It's all green. It's just that a little lime water was sprinkled on the tail to make it white. He understood: This is called having a clear head and unclear tail! The incident occurred at today's banquet. Yan Qing immediately ordered people to remove the banquet and set sail. Magistrate Yan came with a fan and left without a hat, an empty boat, and no servants. The boat was too light to hold up the waves, so he asked the boatman to move a big stone from the river and put it on the bow, and he sat on it. In the back cabin, the boat moved smoothly along. After two days and two nights, Yan Qing returned to his hometown. He asked the boatman not to forget to bring the stones that were carried onto the ship from Xinghua back to Xinghua. He also composed a poem for the boatman to bring back: "If the head is clear and the tail is unclear, the stone will be clear." A few days later, the villagers in Xinghua couldn't help but shed tears when they saw Shitou and the poem written by Master Yan. The boatman still threw the stone by the dock. The next spring, a green bamboo grew next to the stone. From then on, people called this stone "Lianshi" and the bamboo next to it "Yiqing". Zheng Banqiao, a geek from Xinghua, likes to draw "diamond pictures" to give away. Firstly, he misses County Magistrate Yan Qing, and secondly, he still feels guilty for Yan Qing, because he asked his son to send the big herring.
