Li Wei was originally a rich second generation, and he couldn't read one in big characters, so how could he still become an official?

Speaking of Li Wei, I believe that some people's first impression is that this person comes from a humble background, but he is very smart, repeatedly solves cases, and finally becomes a feudal Dali. Today, the history of all countries wants to tell you that this is only Li Wei created by the Yongzheng Dynasty or Li Wei. The real Li Wei is not like this. He was born into a wealthy family that was fukuji, but he didn't study hard, so he had to use money to buy an official. Later, because he was very rich and could use money, he was appreciated by Yongzheng and was promoted step by step, becoming a generation of feudal officials, and finally becoming an extreme minister. So, how rich is Li Wei? How much money can he use to make Yongzheng appreciate his step-by-step rise? Today we're going to talk about that. In 1688, Li Wei was born into the Li family in Xuzhou. Speaking of the Li family in Xuzhou, it is really amazing. In the Ming Dynasty, Li Jia was the hereditary military attaché of Jinyiwei. He also started a business and started to make a fortune. Later, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the south of the Qing army, the Li family purchased military supplies to provide military supplies for the Qing army. After the Qing Dynasty seized the world, the Qing Dynasty returned the favor of the Li family and supported the development and growth of the Li family business. As a result, Li Ka-shing was one of the richest merchants in Xuzhou. His family property amounted to 12 million taels of silver, equivalent to one-tenth of the annual income of the Qing Dynasty, which was converted into yuan, that is, more than 1 billion yuan. So Li Jianlai has a golden spoon, but incredibly, Li Wei, such a rich second generation, Li Wei is actually illiterate? Is it because his father didn't teach well? It is not that after Li Wei was born, his father found him a famous local teacher as a tutor. However, the teacher thinks he should eat a big family. Don't eat white, don't eat. Therefore, in addition to teaching Li Wei to recognize words every day, he also told Li Wei stories about the rivers and lakes. His father saw Li Wei pestering his teacher every day. He felt that Li Wei was still very progressive, but he felt that it was not good to always tell jianghu stories. He asked him to tell Li Wei more about Zizhi Tongjian. Of course, as long as the teacher listens, this request is reasonable. In the end, Li Wei did not make any progress and did not know many big characters. However, he knows the story of Zizhi Tongjian very well. Li Wei's father died when he was ten years old. He began to live on his own wealth, or whether he found someone like he did as a child to tell the story. Maybe I've heard a lot of stories about Zizhi Tongjian. Li Wei believes that it is pointless for him to continue to work hard. Only by finding an official to work for the imperial court and share worries for the emperor can he truly realize the value of life. So, 16-year-old Li Wei donated the money to another position, taking care of his family property, waiting to become an official. As a result, I waited for more than a decade. Before the end of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Northwest War was tense and the Qing Dynasty was short of funds. I have to announce that as soon as you come up with enough money, you will immediately become an official. Li Wei quickly spent tens of thousands of taels of silver for a five-pin foreign groom. Soon, the imperial court asked him to take up a post in the household department. Li Wei was very pleased. He thought that as long as he had a little money, he would have the opportunity to realize his ideals and change to Feidu Guanshan to take up a post in Beijing. Li Wei is already very rich. The court's salary was not enough for him to eat. He came out as an official. He really wanted to recognize the value of life, and he inherited his family and ran his own business. Let him manage the silverware of the family department. It's a convenience. Therefore, he is not only a clean official, not greedy or possessive, but also does his best to be orderly. Both the government and the public consider him a competent and ethical minister. When Li Weishun rode the wind and waves, the test appeared. One day, the thirteenth master Yunxiang found him in the case and said: I can see that you don't love money, you just want to worry about the country. Now the fourth master is Yin, who wants to create a more prosperous Qing Dynasty. But he's short of money now. There are some difficulties in inheriting the throne. When you complemented each other, you cut off the ignition switch and gave us money to help the fourth master. When the time comes, Fourth Master, I will reuse you and let you worry about the country. As soon as Su Yuanli heard this, he began to calculate. He also believed that Yongzheng was a rare commodity of life. However, if he helped Yun Xiang to do this, a force like The Eighth Master would not let go. If he rejects Yunxiang, Yongzheng's succession to the throne will certainly be difficult. Faced with such a dilemma, ordinary people certainly do not know what to do. But Li Wei is not an ordinary person. He was familiar with zizhi tongjian and was very wealthy. When he remembered, he had a way. He played two games in the open air, without offending anyone, putting the fish on fire in a box and then attaching a seal. A prince waited for Yun Xiang to pick it up. Of course, Yun Xiang did not dare to pick it up. He took the opportunity to say he did not agree to put down a cog. He offended the Eighth Master and protected himself. Without naming names, Yun Xiang left the room. Secretly, in order to find Yunxiang, Li gave full play to his superpowers and used his own money to help Yongzheng win the game. Seeing all this, Yongzheng and Yunxiang were very happy and even more grateful to Li Wei. Later, Yongzheng successfully seized the throne, fulfilled his promise, reused Li Wei, and appointed him as the Yunnan Salt Industry Yidao, focusing on the corrupt Yunnan Salt Industry, and solving the decades-long problem. Before Li Wei came to power, he hired someone at his own expense to investigate and understand the corruption of the local salt industry. After Li Wei took office, he first told his subordinates not to embezzle and accept bribes in the future. These are all illegal and criminal. As long as you don't continue to do this, I have a lot of money for you, about 100,000 taels. While there isn't as much corruption in the anti-corruption fund, it's clean money. As long as you don't break the law, you can use the anti-corruption fund to support your family. Later, Li Wei said, but I know your crime. If any of you continue to break the law and commit crimes, I will not tolerate it and punish you severely. Since then, law-abiding officials can provide for their families, so there is no need for corruption. Even if there were officials who did not die of theft, corruption, and fraud, they were identified as Yancheng. Therefore, the disadvantages accumulated by the Yunnan salt industry have been swept away. Seeing this, Yongzheng was promoted to governor of Zhejiang Province, in charge of the salt industry in Zhejiang Province, and became a generation of feudal officials. At that time, Li Wei was only 37 years old. He lacked officials and became a foreign groom of Wupin. Just eight years later, he was promoted at a pace comparable to that of the Rockets. Li Wei continued his Yunnan experience in Zhejiang. He gave full play to the advantages of a superpower and managed the zhejiang salt industry in an orderly manner. In addition, he also used the money to open up the joint, let the officials do their best, successfully built the sea in Zhejiang, effectively reduced the sea, effectively reduced the invasion of the sea tide on the local area, whether the emperor, officials or ordinary people, felt that Li Wei was a good official. Later, Yongzheng made Li Wei the governor of Zhejiang, and did not directly play a trick in the investigation of the Jiangnan case that year, spent money to buy local businessmen, secretly inquired about the news, and finally he undertook the corrupt and perverted Jiangnan governor. Therefore, Yongzheng not only called Li Wei a model governor, but also made him the head of the governor directly subordinate to the governor. In 1738, Li Wei fell ill and died in the Governor-General.
