Since ancient times, the Yellow River has been the mother river of Chinese children and has nurtured countless Chinese descendants. However, in ancient times, the flooding of the Yellow River has always been a heart disease that has plagued the rulers of successive dynasties. Because, once the rainstorm arrives and the Yellow River bursts its banks, a large number of people in China will face the difficult situation of displacement, displacement, and begging along the streets.
During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there was such a big figure who had a lot of merit and hard work in rectifying the flooding of the Yellow River and benefiting the people in many places. He is Jin Fu.
Many people may not know much about this official, but he has indeed made a very great contribution to benefiting the people of Li and saving the financial funds of the government. Moreover, his experience in ruling the river provided a rare experience for future generations to rule the river.

Jin Fu was born in 1633, in the sixth year of the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His ancestral home is Shandong, but he himself was born in Liaoning. At the age of nine, his mother died, and the loss of his mother at a young age was a major blow to him.
Jin Fu has loved to read since he was a child, and he is knowledgeable and proficient in everything. In 1649, the sixth year of the Reign of emperor Ming Shun, he served as a penman. Within two years, he was appointed editor of the Hanlin Academy because of his talent.
After another year, he joined the National History Museum as a student in charge as an editor. After another six years, he began to serve as the secretary of the cabinet, and soon after, he was promoted to the post of foreign minister of the military department.
It can be seen from this that Jin Fu, with his outstanding ability and practical enthusiasm and other excellent qualities, is still very smooth on the road to promotion in the official position.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > his exploits can be seen from the speed of promotion</h1>
In 1662, the first year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Jin Fu was promoted to the post of Fang Shilangzhong (方司郎中), a military post. After a gap of six years, he was promoted to the post of Right Tongzheng of the Department of Communications and Political Envoys, and participated in the compilation and revision of the Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty.
After another two years, that is, in 1670, the ninth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, because of the excellent comprehensive quality in all aspects, coupled with the introduction of his colleagues, he began to serve as a scholar of wuyingdian university and a waiter in the ceremonial department.
Ten years after the Kangxi Emperor, Jin Fu began to serve as the governor of Anhui. During his tenure as inspector, Jin Fu worked diligently and wholeheartedly for the people, made good political achievements, and was praised by the local people. Of course, due to his outstanding political achievements, he was promoted and began to serve as the governor of the river.
In 1677, the sixteenth year of the Kangxi Emperor, Jin Fu was promoted to governor of Hedao at the age of forty-five. Since then, the second half of his life has been related to the management of the river, and he has made a lot of efforts and hardships to control the river and control the flood.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > personally investigate and issue a general policy for river management</h1>
Before Jin Fu became the governor of the river, many people were dismissed because they did not have the ability to govern the river. At that time, when the Yellow River and huaihe rivers were flooding, and there was an urgent need for river management talents, and when there was all kinds of anxiety, the Kangxi Emperor made Jin Fu, who had outstanding political achievements, as the governor of the river and began to rule the river.
Jin Fu has always been vigorous and vigorous in his work, and after he took office, he immediately began to do research and investigate the river in many aspects.
After two months, he had a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of the river, and with the careful reading of the experience of his predecessors and the extensive listening to various opinions and suggestions, he determined his general policy for governing the river.
After Jin Fu investigated for two months, made many efforts, and adopted the method of river control by Pan Jitao, a talent in river management in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the method of "beaming water and attacking sand", what was the general policy for river control that he determined?
Jin Fu believes that the Yellow River flows through many places, and the reason why there are frequent floods and the decline of the river is mainly because the people before did not regard the management of the river as a whole work, and the various places divided and ruled, only taking into account the point, not yet taking into account the face, which led to today's dilemma.
Therefore, he believes that the management of the river needs to focus on the whole, uphold the concept of the overall situation, and govern it in many provinces.
In addition, Jin Fu has repeatedly stressed that the Yellow River is very important for the whole country, not only to pay attention to the problem of water transport, but also to the problem of the river.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > began to treat the river, and the results were quite obvious</h1>
After Jin Fu played the Kangxi Emperor with his ideas and plans for governing the river, the Kangxi Emperor was very supportive of Jin Fu's ideas and work. The Kangxi Emperor's general understanding of Jin Fu's work made him more energetic and enthusiastic in his work.
In the process of governing the river, he did not consider personal gains and losses at all, did not care whether he could be promoted to an official and become rich, did not avoid difficulties, did not avoid dangers, and vowed to do a career.
In 1678, the seventeenth year of the Kangxi Emperor, Jin Fu devoted himself to blocking the breaches between Qingshuitan, Datanwan And Zhai Jiaba to Wujiadun, while Jin Fu also carried out a deep dredging of Qingkou.
Then, he presided over the construction of the Yanyue embankment, which made a great contribution to preventing floods, and it is commendable that when he presided over the construction of the Yanyue embankment, he spent only 90,000 yuan, which was a full 480,000 less than the estimated estimate, and really saved a lot of real money and silver for the national treasury. Jin Fu was also appreciated and appreciated by the Kangxi Emperor.
Jin Fu has made considerable progress since he ruled the river, and in the process of governing the river, he has constantly introduced new ideas, come up with many good methods and good ideas, such as abolishing redundant officials, enhancing the sense of responsibility of officials through a series of ways and methods, etc. Jin Fu has also made clear rewards and punishments, strict assessments, and good political achievements in all aspects.
Although Jin Fu has made great achievements in controlling the river, there are still floods every year, and the negative impact is also quite large.
For example, why did it cost so much money to rectify the floods, but there were still floods and people's lives were difficult? There are also more and more negative voices.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > dismissal punishment</h1>
In 1681, the twentieth year of the Kangxi Emperor, the deadline agreed upon by Jin Fu and the emperor to govern the river had arrived, and the flood problem was still not well solved. The Kangxi Emperor was furious and immediately made the decision to dismiss Jin Fu from his post.
At the same time, considering that Jin Fu had ruled the river for many years, there was no merit and hard work, and the Kangxi Emperor gave Jin Fu a glimmer of life, that is, to allow Jin Fu to continue to rule the river.
Finally, in the twenty-second year of the Kangxi Emperor, that is, in 1683, Jin Fu had basically solved the problem of the return of the Yellow River and the Huai River to their hometown, and took the first step of Dai Sin's meritorious service.
The Kangxi Emperor was deeply aware of Jin Fu's merits, and he encouraged Jin Fu to continue to work hard, not to be satisfied with the achievements he had made, and to continue to move toward new victories. The Kangxi Emperor has always regarded the work of river control as a top priority, because the problem of the river is related to the peace and contentment of so many ordinary people along the river.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > wronged by the emperor</h1>
In the twenty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty, in 1688, Yushi Guoxuan framed Jin Fu in front of Shengshang, saying that he had not made any meritorious achievements in his nine years of ruling the river, and Jin Fu was dismissed from his post.
In the thirty-first year of the Kangxi Emperor, that is, in 1692, the Kangxi Emperor finally selected Jin Fu as the governor of the river after comprehensively comparing a number of candidates for river management, and jin fu was finally restored to his reputation by the Kangxi Emperor.
At that time, Jin Fu was already old and sickly. However, the emperor had a destiny, but he had to take office, so the elderly Jin Fu still worked hard and continued to contribute his experience and wisdom to the governance of the river.
Later, Jin Fu's illness worsened, and at the end of 1692, Jin Fu, a water conservancy engineering expert who had spent half his life in river management and made many contributions, died at the age of sixty. The people, grateful for the great kindness of Jin FuzhiHe to them, requested to build a shrine for Jin Fu on the banks of the Yellow River, which was finally approved by the imperial court.
Jin Fuzhi River not only sought a peace of mind for the people at that time, won financial concessions for the government at that time, but also provided many lessons for future generations of people in governing the river and the water, and the merits and benefits of the present era and benefited thousands of autumns. He himself has been famous for eternity.
