During the period of ancient feudal society, there were officials in any dynasty who were corrupt and perverted the law, and even there were cases of selling officials and knights, and those who spent money to buy officials definitely wanted to get their money back, but there was one person in The History Mountain who was an exception, and this person was Li Wei. Li Wei is a native of Feng County, Jiangsu Province, from a young age life is relatively rich, but he does not love to read, when he grows up, he wants to become an official, it is reasonable to say that when he becomes an official, he needs to take the imperial examination, and only after passing can he have a chance, but Li Wei is more fortunate, he is in the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty had already flooded its purchase of officials, but in the early stage it was relatively few, although there were few, but there were also, and in the end Li Wei spent money to buy an official position of a soldier and a foreign lang, which was the Qing Dynasty's zhengwupin, according to the market at that time, Li Wei spent at least half a million taels of silver. Li Wei spent a huge amount of money to buy an official and then took office, but he was different from others, and after others took office, the first thing they thought of was to loot the people's fat and people's ointment in order to get themselves back the money, but Li Wei was not greedy for a penny. According to historical records, when Li Wei served as a foreign lang of the military department, he made achievements in just two years, which was well received by the people, and was promoted to Hubu Langzhong two years later.
Hubu Langzhong is mainly in charge of the household department, and the household department is the state financial and taxation management department, at this time, if Li Wei wants to embezzle some money, it is simply a hand to hand, but he is not partial, in the face of spending silver, Li Wei does not understand a trace of evil thoughts. After the Yongzheng Emperor heard about Li Wei's situation, he was very appreciative of him, Yongzheng was originally a relatively honest emperor, and people like Li Wei, he would definitely have to be appointed, and eventually Li Wei was directly promoted to Yunnan YanyiDao. Yanyidao is the position of managing a local salt tax, in ancient times, it was forbidden to sell illegal salt, so the profit of selling salt was very high, and the corresponding tax was also very high, And Li Wei's position in Yanyidao was also not greedy for ten years.
The Yongzheng Emperor was very satisfied with Li Wei's performance, and a year later he was promoted to the position of envoy of Yunnan Province, that is, to manage all the financial taxes in Yunnan, which was the official from Erping at that time, and this speed can be called a rocket rise. Later, Li Wei continued to be promoted to the rank of Governor of Zhejiang, which was from Yipin, followed by a promotion to the rank of Bingbu Shangshu, Directly Subordinate Governor, etc. All these positions of Li Wei were exchanged for his own political achievements, and he never bribed others.
Li Wei's official career is a miracle in history, although he spent money to buy officials of the Qing Dynasty, but he did the facts in a down-to-earth manner, but some people criticized Li Wei's behavior, because he was an authentic Han Chinese, and some people felt that he should not fight for the Qing Dynasty so much.
