Giant Treasure

In the past six years, gratifying changes have taken place in Hubei.Prior to this, the provincial government’s treasury was empty, and the grain stores were almost in short supply. Officials at all levels and departments in the capital used loans to pay their salaries.

Qian Liang Daotai Jiang Zaifa wrote this serious problem into a written report and submitted it to the governor.And put forward: to be reviewed from top to bottom.Re-determine the expenditures and salaries of officials in each government office, prefecture and county.Officials at all levels must practice strict economy, severely punish corruption, and clean up the official system!After reading it, Lord Chen, the governor, immediately expressed his approval and firm support, and was responsible for the Inspectorate to issue a notice.

According to the official system of the Qing Dynasty, the Qianliang Road, also known as the sub patrol road, can also manage the judiciary of a province and supervise corruption.Also known as the Second Mansion, the office is a hall, which is not high in rank but has a lot of power.This is based on the authorization of the imperial court, and the whole country is not unanimous.

Under the vigorous promotion of Daotai Jiang Zaifa, it took only two years to pay off the loan.In the next four years, the capital's surplus treasury and silver competed to reach 500 million taels.The granaries below the provincial government are full.Even if the whole province does not collect money for two years, the common people will still have food to eat.

This remarkable political achievement was passed on to the imperial court, and Emperor Daoguang decreed: to promote Hubei Qianyu to be assigned as an inspector, and then to be promoted to governor of Hubei, and to be rewarded with three ranks and wear official uniforms, which is also an exceptional promotion.

Previously, due to the advanced age of the current governor, Chen Jiachang, he had already handed in his resignation letter to the imperial court, requesting to retire and return to his hometown, so the post of governor of Hubei was vacant.

After two years, he was promoted to a second-rank officer.To this end, Jiang Zaifa also became a big official in the frontier!At this time Jiang Zaifa was only 53 years old.It was also the 20th year of Emperor Daoguang's reign.

No.20 The three-time member died of illness, and the emperor bestowed infinite scenery

However, for veterans, 17 years have passed since the birth of their precious son at the age of 17.In the past [-] years, there have been many good and happy events.

Yuanwai's family consists of ordinary people, and the father and son become court officials on the same day.Then the eldest son, Jiang Zaifa, was promoted several ranks in only eight years, and became a third-rank official, a senior official in the frontier.The little boy Jiang Zairong is already the emperor's favorite minister, and he is also an official to the third rank, an extremely human minister.This leap from the human world to the sky is probably rare in history.

This dreamlike change, I am afraid that no one had thought of it before.It was the Japanese staff, accompanied by the maids, who were walking in the garden, reminiscing about the good times, and it was really refreshing.

Suddenly, I remembered that Qin Zhuo's second concubine was in her prime, and became ill due to worry and resentment. She refused to eat medicinal food and died tragically on a hunger strike.Blaming outsiders is one's own fault!Unknowingly, sadness comes from my heart.The joy and sorrow suddenly felt like a tide in my heart, and when my eyes went dark, I yelled: "Not good!" and fell to the ground.

The servants around hurriedly helped the master up.At this time, the member outside was foaming at the mouth and could not speak.Everyone hurriedly carried Yuanwai into the dormitory, and urgently reported to the old lady and grandma.On the one hand, he rushed to the city to invite a doctor. After several times of diagnosis and treatment, there was no effect.

Seeing this situation, the old lady hurriedly ordered: "Send a fast horse to the provincial government to tell my son to send again, and tell him to invite a skilled doctor in the provincial capital, and hurry back together."

Let's say that Governor Jiang Zaifa learned that his father was occasionally seriously ill, so he hastily arranged the official affairs of the family.On the one hand, they sent people to extend the doctor.A letter in cursive script on one side, and sent five hundred miles to express it to Zai Rong, the younger brother in the capital.I and a group of people set off overnight and rushed home.

Sending it back home, I hurried to my father's bed, only to see that my father was unconscious!After repeated diagnosis and treatment by famous doctors, he still did not get better.

The governor immediately asked the doctor: "What disease does my father suffer from?" The doctor replied: "The disease outside the staff is called 'stroke', and it is more common in the elderly. It is caused by excessive worry or joy."

The governor asked again: "Can it be cured?" After hesitating, the gentleman replied to his lord: "Master, this disease is almost impossible to cure. If the condition is to improve, one must persist in treatment, and the other depends on the master's good luck." .”

Academician Jiang Zairong received a letter from his elder brother, and when he learned that his father was terminally ill, he immediately burst into tears.I went to see Wansui in a hurry, and submitted the letter sent by Jiang Zai, governor of Hubei, to Yulan.

Emperor Daoguang consoled him after reading it and said: "Jiang Aiqing's condolences! Yuanwaiji people have their own fortune and will not be ill. I allow you to set off home tomorrow. If Yuanwai's condition improves, you will come after two months at home. If your father has no Zhi, I grant you three years of filial piety at home."

Jiang Zairong ordered the leader to thank God!So I packed my luggage overnight, and set off on the road the next morning, and rushed to my hometown in Hubei at a starry night.

It has been more than a month since Yuan Wai was seriously ill.Helplessly, the child has a long journey, and it is difficult to get there day and night.Xiao Zairong couldn't come to meet his father in the end, and the veteran had to die with regret!At the age of 88.

When the child came back Zairong, when he learned that his father had passed away, he immediately fell to the ground and cried: "My son is not filial!"I only hate that the long journey hinders my father and son's last meeting. I really regret it forever!It is really sad.In a short time, everyone comforted, Xiao Zairong just stopped mourning.

Zai Rong wiped his tears and said to his brother: "Before I leave, the emperor gave me an oral order! If my father's condition improves, I will go to the post in two months. If my father's illness is not cured! I am allowed to keep my filial piety for three years. Now that my father has passed away, it seems I still have to write a booklet and listen to it." My brother reposted it and thought it was the same.

So the scholar drafted a chapter: the humble minister Jiang Zairong paid homage, and the minister rushed to his home on the day when his majesty was ready to play. The two thousand li journey was fast, and it took only seven days to drive back day and night.Unexpectedly, my father has already passed away!The unfilial son finally failed to meet his father, and suddenly his heart was broken.Shouting to the sky, distraught.Your majesty's quasi-officials have kept their filial piety for three years. During these long three years, the ministers are unable to serve the king, and they are really uneasy.In view of His Majesty's love for the old father, I specially played Mingwuhuang.

Jiang Zairong, an unfilial minister, kneels and submits!Thank you Saint Long En.I wish my emperor a long and boundless life!As soon as the memorial was completed, a fast rider was sent to travel day and night to present it to the imperial court quickly.

After reading it, Emperor Daoguang was deeply shocked!This Jiang Dashan really passed away forever.Emperor Yi couldn't help feeling moved.So he issued an order: the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, Dali Temple, Wenyuan Pavilion, Hanlin Academy, Guozijian, Inspectorate, etc., and sent personnel to express condolences as soon as possible!On the one hand, he personally inscribed an imperial condolence plaque for Yuanwai.

He also ordered the decree to be drafted: Jiang Kefa, a member of the household department, was promoted, and Wai Lang, a member of the household department, was promoted, and he was buried according to the four-rank regulation. This is here!

Suo Pei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was appointed as the imperial envoy!Officials from various ministries, courts, divisions and the Palace of Internal Affairs gathered.A group of nearly 200 people went to Jiang's Manor in Gong'an County, Hubei.

The golden plaque of condolence in the royal book was carried by the palace people, and it said: "Jiang Shanren will live forever" and walk in the front to clear the way!There are also various ministries and divisions hanging elegiac couplets and banners to follow.The mighty chariots and officials and their party stretched for about two miles.After traveling day and night for half a month, I finally arrived at Jiang's Mansion.

An official from the Imperial Gate announced early on: "Jiang Zaifa, the governor of Hubei, and Jiang Zairong, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, will receive the order!"It is also the posthumous title of "Jiang Shanren" granted by the emperor.Brother Zaifa took over the golden plaque and immediately ordered someone to hang the plaque high above the center of the hall for the Jiang family to admire from generation to generation.

The imperial envoy read out the imperial decree again: "Jiang Kefa, a member of the household department, was promoted to 'Wailang, a member of the household department' to pursue the fourth rank, and he was buried according to the fourth rank's regulations. Hereby!"

For a while, the governors of all provinces across the country went to express their condolences in person or sent officials, and all government offices in the capital of Hubei, prefects of various prefectures, and county magistrates of all counties went to Jiang's mansion to express their condolences in person!At this time, officials of the seventh rank and above gathered like ants.The Chiang Mansion and the public security county were squeezed to the brim.The big and small inns in the city, and even the alley hotels, are full of court officials.

The old Yuanwai also experienced many ups and downs, but he was open-minded and smiled at life, and finally became a rich man after all the hard work.After he became rich, he did not forget the suffering people in the world, and he generously donated his family to the country to relieve the disaster victims. His good deeds have also received his due rewards.All his life, Yuanwai was hardworking, kind, forthright, and aboveboard.In his later years, he also ushered in the pinnacle of his life... The Jiang family has infinite glory, and the members of the family are also glorious after death!

The merits and virtues of the members will continue to be married to their wives and sons after they are born. This matter will be revealed later. This is probably the philosophy that what is good is rewarded.

There is a poem praising: Jiang Gongqin has made a living since he was a child, and he has chosen a few industries to do business.

After several years of business management, they have been jealous, and the husband and wife have changed their doors together.

The land spirit is willing to buy treasures, and the outstanding people build villages and towering buildings.

Save the people, promote virtue, and help the community to make great achievements.

The emperor awarded one official and three orders, and became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

Over the past two years, the old lady Yang is also unable to afford illness.After many treatments, it was ineffective; soon, he followed the staff and went away.Died: Exactly the same as Yuanwai...88 years old.

Speaking of this old lady, I have to say here: She is a major contributor to the current prosperity of the Jiang family!When she was young, she married into Jiang's family and worked hard with her husband to make a living.Later, he became rich by chance, and the Jiang family prospered from then on.Mrs. Yang has always been a good housekeeper, a good partner and a good housekeeper.

Because she has never given birth, she has persuaded the staff many times to ask for a concubine, and she would rather be left out in the cold and lonely.Yang is hardworking, intelligent, and charitable.He dedicated his whole life to the Jiang family selflessly and dedicated himself.

But he said that the old lady told him about the old lady...Jiang Zairong's aunt Yang Shi, who was a compassionate and virtuous woman when Zairong just realized the truth.Because she had no children, she often tried her best to persuade me to take a concubine, so I married your mother, and now I have you.She is a virtuous and kind aunt of yours. After I die, you must treat her like your own mother and honor her well.

Little Zai Rong remembered it in his heart!Since then, he has been very close and caring to the elderly. The old father passed away during the filial piety period; Zai Rong has been thinking about his aunt almost every day, without interruption.

Unexpectedly, after only two years of filial piety, the old lady, Jiang Zairong's aunt, fell ill and passed out.Xiao Zairong is very anxious!While seeking treatment from famous doctors, he repaired the book and sent people to the governor's office in the provincial capital to tell his brother to send him back.

The inspector Jiang Zaifa received the letter from home and quickly opened it to read: only then did he know that it was the old man.
