Li Daochuan (1170-1217), character through, word zhongguan. A native of Jingyan, Longzhou (present-day Leshan, Sichuan) in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the second year of Qingyuan (1196), Jinshi was appointed to join the army of Sihu of Lizhou, Sichuan, and a professor of Pengzhou. In the second year of Jiading (1209), he was summoned as a doctor of Taixue, a doctor of Taixue and a professor of yiwangfu primary school, secretary Lang, and a writer and official of Quan Kao Gong Lang. In the sixth year of Jiading (1213), Zhizhen Prefecture.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhenzhou became the anti-Jin front, called "the place of protection from wind and cold", and the city of Zhou was seriously damaged. Ming Longqing's Yizhen County Chronicle records: "From the Song Dynasty Emperor Gaozong Xin Mi (Shaoxing thirty-one years, that is, 1161), Jin Bing entered the Kou, until Kaixi (1205-1207) Taiding, and then (lí) Feng (xiǎn), the various departments of Yu went to the traces, and everything was swept away. ”
The Song court signed a humiliating peace treaty with Jin three times and ruled Huaihuai, during which there was no large-scale war for decades, and the city of Zhenzhou was restored to a certain extent. In the fourth year of Qiandao (1168), the county sheriff Zhang Tan restored the city, "The degree of van city is as it was. In the original city gate, the "Tong Khotan" was closed, and five gates were retained, and "each building was built on the top". Outer chiseled city hao, south of the Yangtze River, north of the mountain stream. In the third year of the Kai Jubilee (1207), the former battle of Gunshou Lin Bocheng [ pì zhòu ] 526 feet and 8 feet, 850 feet deep, and 7 feet deep. In the first year of Jiading (1208), the county sheriff Guo Chaoguangzhi was eight zhang wide. In the third year (1210), the county guard Pan Youwen increased the city rules, built thirty-five buildings and one hundred and eighty-seven houses. In the fifth year (1212), the sheriff Xu Jingjia repaired the 634-foot-and-2 feet. There are many actions, and the common denominator is "because of the old moments of the military city", all of which are restoration projects.
By the time Li Dao reached Zhenzhou, the Song-Jin War had come to an end. He continued the actions of his predecessors, first ordering people to use bricks to build a partially destroyed city wall, build two stone dams to protect the residents on both sides of the river, deepen the two moats, and set up an embankment in Chen Gongtang. The Song Shi Li Dao Biography records: The city is ruled by Fuzhi, the Dao is passed on, two stone dams are built to protect the residents of the riverside, the two trenches of Yijun are also, and the Chen Gongtang is also, and if there is a police, they will decide to obstruct it, and the people's hearts will be solid. In fact, not only that, Li Daochuan also did a very important thing in Zhenzhou, that is, to formally submit a request to the imperial court to build an additional project of the eastern and western wings of the city.
"Song Shi Li Dao Biography"
He described the situation in Zhenzhou to the imperial court's Shenwen: "The journey from Huaidong, from Chuzhou to Liuhe, from Xuyi to take the length of heaven, two roads will be in Zhenzhou, two days and nights can be reached." If you go to Zhenzhou, you can cross the Zhenjiang River for forty miles, and you can cross Jiankang for sixty miles, which is really a land route. The number of residents in the city is only one-tenth of that outside the city. The places where the self-transit division and the rich and powerful people and the trade fairs are in the south of the city. ”
It is imperative to add the east and west wings of the city. The Shenwen said: "According to the narrowness of the city of Texas, the predecessor tried to increase the construction, wrapping thousands of houses in the east and west of the city." However, those who are tired of being guards do not dare to claim their words, and the work is not small, and the use of Yin Guang. The imperial court may be difficult, and it is inevitable to add stickers. The state and county have extra responsibilities and do it in vain. If the scale is complete, future generations will enjoy the name of the end. If you are in the middle of the labor, you will be blamed for your recklessness. It can be seen that the addition of the East and West Wing City is not Li Daochuan's original, but the predecessors have long had ideas and plans. Zhizhou did not formally submit a request to the imperial court because of concerns. At that time, Zhizhou's term of office was very short, generally only two or three years, and some even only had one year, and the city-building project was huge and the investment was also large, so it was impossible to complete it in one term. If the project is not done well, we must also take responsibility, but if we do a good job, we will be the successor. So although there are ideas, they have not been able to implement them.
Li Daochuan had a calm personality, and it was prudent to take over this issue and report to the imperial court. He clearly stated in the ShenWen: "Tao Chuan stealing is a fortress building service, and it is unforceable. Accumulate over time and see success. He also said, "When the Tao came to confess, I did not dare to say that I could finish my term of office." He just thinks that "we should be decisive in doing things without being involved in superficial remarks, and lasting success without being blamed for near-term results, and that there is no harm in a few fortunes, and no one is disturbed." And put forward the implementation plan, "the predecessors tried to build two wings of the city, but the cost is large, not in a hurry." The Tao transmission should be regulated first, so that it can be inherited later. If you want to borrow more than 160,000 yuan from the imperial court, you will pay the state as a book, and charge the fee for building the plate with interest. Over the years, gradually see the graded stage. All city bricks, and from Honshu additional kiln firing office. A year or two later, the plate was built slightly, and the number of bricks was also accumulated. The latecomers do not embellish it, and they do not suffer from it. The next year, he submitted another request to the imperial court, and finally got a reply, "The quasi-loan fair has a total of 50,000 yuan, and Fu Zhenzhou is the base camp." ”
Unfortunately, in the autumn of that year, Li Daochuan immediately moved to the official post of Changping Tea Salt on Jiangdong Road and left Zhenzhou.
However, Li Daochuan has already broken the problem, as he expected, "the latecomers will not embellish it." "Successor Zhizhou Feng Youjun took advantage of the situation, and during his tenure, he began to build the eastern wing of the city ninety-two feet and eight feet, and chiseled the river for a hundred zhang. Then, after several consecutive zhizhou efforts, until the first year of Baoqing (1225), the county sheriff and the governor of the city fully completed the construction of the east and west wings of the city, "the shape of the two wings began to be prepared." The southern city is adapted to local conditions and relies on the Chaohe River as a natural barrier. Because "the south of the city, facing the river, its momentum is slow, and the relocation of people's houses, it is difficult to discuss the construction of the version." It is the south of the ChaoHe River, creating a heavy wall, the fortification soil is a mound, and the situation of the east and west wings of the city is connected, one for the city gate and one for the tuoban bridge. At this point, the important facilities and bustling areas in the south of the city were wrapped into the wing city, forming a layout of the outer hao inner city and the water obstruction shielding, so as to achieve the purpose of curbing gold harassment and defending the city, and Zhenzhou City also expanded its scale on the basis of the original construction of the AnJun City. It can be said that "the situation is natural, and the country and mountains have changed."
The Zhenzhou East and West Wing City Expansion Project lasted for 13 years. Li Daochuan did not reach a brick and a tile during his term of office, but he took the lead in submitting it to the imperial court, "establishing regulations first", advocating that achievements do not have to be in office, and promoting the implementation of the project, which is really indispensable. The "History of Song and the Biography of Li Dao" commented that he was "an official based on Huili". Li Daochuan does not care about personal fame and fortune, but emphasizes benefiting the localities and benefiting the people, and is a person with a big heart.
