Follow the officials
Zhang Lun (張纶), courtesy name Gongxin, was a native of Ruyin, Yingzhou (present-day Fuyang, Anhui) in the Northern Song Dynasty, whose year of birth and death is unknown. The young man is arrogant, courageous, and dares to do things. If the entrance examination is not successful, the third class will be filled, and the right class will be moved to the straight. He had been from Lei you to the end of the king in Shu, and sometimes there were hundreds of rebels, and Lei sent Zhang Lun to lead his troops to attack him. Zhang Lun knew that these people were ordinary people who were forced by local officials and rebelled against the people, so he quickly reported to Lei Youyou and said: "This poor coward, if you are in a hurry, you will be in trouble, so it is better to tell them to reason and summon them down." Lei You finally adopted Zhang Lun's advice, and the rebels did come to surrender. In this campaign, Zhang Lun used his military merits to move to Yiyi, Peng, Jian and other prefectures to inspect the envoys.
It has been passed down through the generations
When Zhang Lun was serving as an envoy to the capital of The Prefecture, his soldiers had indulged in alcohol and plundered the local people, causing civil unrest in the local area, and after Receiving the report, Zhang Lun immediately beheaded several people and showed them to the public, and properly appeased the people, avoided a disaster, and ensured the safety of the lives and property of the local people.
Later, Zhang Lun was ordered by the dynasty to send an envoy to Lingxia to return, just when the barbarians surnamed Peng of Chenzhou Xizhi led a crowd to invade the interior, and the imperial court appointed Zhang Lun to know the military of Chenzhou. After Zhang Lun arrived, he led the people of the prefecture to build fortifications in Pengshan, strangling the danger, and when the thief arrived, he knew that Zhang Lun was prepared, so he led the crowd to retreat. At this point, both the DPRK and the CENTRAL Government were called Zhang Lunxun officials.
After that, Zhang Lun was transferred to Wei prefecture and Zhi prefecture, and was ordered to send an envoy to the Khitan to appease Cao Wei to know that Zhang Lun had courage and strategy, loyalty and courage, and the above table requested that Zhang Lun be retained in the army, and the imperial court did not allow it. The Qia Barbarians invaded again, and the imperial court appointed Zhang Lun as an inspector and appeaser of the prefectures of Chen, Li, and Ding, as well as the surrounding Wuxi And Ten Ridges. After Zhang Lun arrived in office, he personally went to the barbarian leaders to negotiate, used the principle of misfortune and blessing to persuade the barbarian leaders, redeem the plundered people, sent officials to conclude a covenant with the barbarians, and carved the covenant into an inscription, and the border was stable from then on.
Later, Zhang Lun was transferred to the deputy envoy of Jianghuai System and Shipment. At that time, the salt industry had suffered a heavy loss in tax revenue, and Zhang Lun asked for the old debts of the salt households in Tong, Tai, and Chu Prefectures, and the prefectures and counties would provide the salt households with production tools, and the salt households would hand over the salt produced to the prefectures and counties and give preferential prices. As a result, the salt households increased their productivity, and the tax revenue for the imperial court was increased by hundreds of thousands of stones every year. Since then, Zhang Lun has set up salt farms in Hangzhou, Xiu, and Haizhou, and the annual income and tax profits have exceeded 1.5 million. Two years later, the amount of rice used for handing in increased by more than 800,000. He also led the prefecture and county to dredge five channels, guide the water of Taihu Lake into the sea, and rent 600,000 rice to the people. Excavate the Changluxi River to avoid the frequent capsizing here. He also built a two-hundred-mile-long embankment in Gaoyou North, and built ten huge stones next to the embankment to drain the flowing river. At that time, Taizhou had a hanhai weir, which stretched for more than 150 miles, was abandoned for a long time, could not be repaired in time, and every year there was a disaster that the sea waves flooded the people's fields.
When Zhang Lun proposed to the imperial court to repair the Hanhai Weir, when discussing the matter, someone asked him disapprovingly, "The disaster of Haitao has subsided, but what should we do if the water in the weir cannot be discharged and waterlogging occurs?" "。 Zhang Lun said: "The scourge of Haitao accounts for nine-tenths of the disaster, while the scourge of waterlogging accounts for only one-tenth of the disaster, and the gain is more and the loss is less, shouldn't it be done?" Therefore, Zhang Lun once again went to the table to request the repair of the Hanhai Weir and expressed his willingness to personally take charge of the project. The imperial court then ordered him to concurrently control the affairs of Taizhou and personally preside over the project, and thanks to Zhang Lun's efforts, it was eventually built into the Taizhou Hanhai Weir. Zhang Lun also asked 2,600 families in Taizhou, who had fled the sea for many years, to return to their original homes and resume production. Since then, the people of Taizhou have been grateful to Zhang Lun and built a shrine for Zhang Lun to worship him for many years.
Politics and bureaucracy
Zhang Lun has a talent and strategy, dares to do things, and the governors he appoints can all benefit from the benefits and eliminate the harms, so that the people can benefit and are very supported by the people in the place of appointment. He is forgiving and charitable. During his term of office in the Jiangsu and Huaihuai areas, he saw that many Caoyun soldiers were frozen and starved to death on the road, so he sighed: "This is the fault of the official government, and it is impossible to reflect the benevolence of the monarch." He then examined himself, and took out his annual silver to buy thousands of cotton jackets, and gave them to some soldiers who had no money to buy cotton clothes to survive the winter. After six years in Huainan, he moved to Zhaozhou Taishou and Qianzhou Taishou, and later transferred to Yingzhou, where he died in the post of Yingzhou Taishou. He was born in Yingzhou, out of Yingzhou, and finally died in Yingzhou, and he got what he wanted, which was also the result of his life's blessings.
The Song Dynasty was the era of Chongwen, and Zhang Lun entered the army as a military attaché, and transferred to several counties in his lifetime, not decorated with literature, not ostentatious, and slightly armed, worthy of a great responsibility. During his tenure, he let him do his job to benefit one party, and was recognized by the Song Dynasty as a scholar with talent and martial arts.
Tai Shi Gong said: "The law is therefore guiding the people, and the punishment is forbidden to rape." The civil and military weapons are not prepared, the good people are afraid of the cultivators, and the officials have not been chaotic. If you are duty-abiding and reasonable, you can also govern, so why be majestic? "。
