How much can an illiterate achieve? Especially in the hierarchical feudal society of ancient times?
Li Wei gave the best answer.
Li Wei Kangxi was born in Feng County, Jiangsu Province, on the first day of the first month of the 26th year, and his ancestors were Jinyi Wei in the Ming Dynasty, and his family was also very wealthy.
When he was 30 years old, the donor official became a member of the foreign lang, although he could not read one in large characters, but every time the master drafted an official document and read it to him, he could accurately cut to the point, put forward suggestions for revision, and make the article expression more appropriate and accurate.
This skill of his, many literati and inkers who have learned to be rich in five cars, also lamented that they were inferior.
Therefore, many literati admired him. And because he had not read a book, he was very envious and respected for cultured people, and he was an official and very concerned about the people, and later he was promoted to Tobe Langzhong. Manage salt administration and audit private salt.
As early as when the Yongzheng Emperor was not yet on the throne, he had heard that there was a man named Li Wei who was very good at being an official, and his most trusted thirteenth brother, Yun Xiang, recommended him, so the emperor was also very attentive to him.
In the first year of Yongzheng, Li Wei was appointed as the Governor of Yanyi Road, Yunnan. For three years, Yongzheng was again appointed as the inspector of Zhejiang.
During his tenure in Zhejiang, his main work was to repair sea ponds and repair rampant salt lords.
Repairing the sea pond is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and is the most concerned thing of the common people, but the imperial court's allocation is pitiful.
If you take this little money to repair the sea pond, it will not be enough for the wages of migrant workers.
And Li Wei always has a way to raise money, and he has his own set of methods for repairing the sea pond is very effective.
Other local officials who needed to repair the pond saw his methods and specially invited him to give a knowledge lecture in the past.
Li Wei's method of catching the salt owl is even more extreme, and he directly plays infernal affairs with the salt seller.
Either have the servants disguise themselves as salt merchants to infiltrate the enemy, or let the captured salt merchants go back to act as eyeliner.
This method was tried and tested, and finally Li Wei captured the leader of the salt owl, Shen Shi.
After investigation, it was found that the reason why these salt lords were lawless and defied the wind was because local officials acted as protective umbrellas.
Li Weishun finally found the body of Fan Shixuan, the governor of Jiangnan.
If it was an ordinary official, it would be difficult to find this place, because Fan Shixuan was a descendant of Fan Wencheng after the famous door, and he held an important position in the dprk.
Which arm does not dare to twist the thigh!
But Li Wei dared, regardless of the other party's status, and directly wrote to the emperor to inform him about this matter.
Yongzheng dismissed Fan Shixuan from his post.
At that time, the imperial court was full of mingzhe officials, only he was the second pole, not afraid of the powerful, no matter whether you were a prince or a nobleman or a dignitary, as long as you were corrupt and perverted the law, I would impeach you.
The Yongzheng Emperor also admired this kind of character.
In the eleventh year of Yongzheng, Li Wei wrote a letter to impeach Ortai's younger brother, the commander of the infantry army, Orqi.
The Yongzheng Emperor said, you simply point it out publicly. I'll stand up for you.
Li Wei did so, but the Yongzheng Emperor only dismissed Orqi from his post with Thin Mud.
At this time, Li Wei did not do it, and felt that he had been shot, so when the emperor wanted to promote him to an official, he refused.
The emperor gave him the "Yuexin Collection" he had edited, let him understand it well, and wrote a post-reading feeling, mainly to grind his temperament.
During Li Wei's tenure in Zhejiang, The people lived and worked in peace and contentment in Dazhi, Zhejiang, and the situation in local construction was also very good.
But more importantly, Li Wei regained the qualification of the imperial examination for the Zhejiang literati.
During the Yongzheng period, literary prisons were prevalent, and there were many literati in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the contradictions caused by this were also continuous, and the Yongzheng Emperor, in a fit of rage, disqualified Zhejiang scribes from participating in scientific expeditions.
After Li Wei came to Zhejiang to become an official, he told Yongzheng about the deeds of the scholars who had studied hard and wanted to repay the wishes of the imperial court.
The Yongzheng Emperor did not have such a great anger, and resumed the imperial examination in Zhejiang.
Although Li Wei was very good at becoming an official, what he really wanted to be was a military general.
He wrote that he wanted to lead soldiers to war.
Yongzheng said, I know that your ancestors were born in the upper ranks, and you have two brushes in your own leadership, but now the imperial court does not lack military generals, but needs civilian subjects, and you are still helping Zhejiang to share your worries.
Soon Li Wei wrote a letter saying that his wife was dead and that he had no worries in his heart, and asked the emperor for permission to lead his troops to sweep the western regions.
Yongzheng said, I know that you are loyal and patriotic, but now there are generals who lead troops to the Western Regions.
Let him fight first, and if he can't beat it, you can't fight it again.
When Li Wei saw that the emperor had made such a statement, he had no choice but to give up.
Although Li Wei wants to work on porcelain, in fact, his health is very poor.
He was suffering from a stomach disease, and as early as when he was not yet serving as the inspector of Zhejiang, he wrote to say that he had vomited blood three times since lichun. After arriving in Zhejiang, he vomited blood several times.
The emperor heard about his illness and advised him to take good care of his body, not to always work overtime, to add points, and to forget to rest.
But later, when Yongzheng heard that he had vomited blood again, he was going to come to his birthday and invite many jianghu warlocks to help him repair the prescription.
This is a special treatment that is unique in the Qing dynasty.
Three years after Qianlong, Li Wei died at the age of 51, and the Qianlong Emperor buried him with the courtesy of viceroy, with the posthumous title of Minda.
But many years later, when the Qianlong Emperor toured the south and saw the idols of Li Wei and his wife at the West Lake Flower Temple, the emperor was very upset and said:
Li Weiyang borrowed the emperor Kao En's willful arrogance, was unjust and pure at the beginning, and established a temple in his name, which was very strange.
Orders to withdraw like burns.
Despite this, Li Wei was still a rare good official in the Qing Dynasty in the past three hundred years, which shows that having knowledge can make a person more effective, but it cannot imprison the territory of a good person.
Just like that sentence, how big the heart is, how big the stage is!
