Anecdotes and allusions

Hangzhou is adjacent to the West Lake. The market is prosperous and the department stores are miscellaneous. Many poor people often borrow "money" from the garrison flag officers as a small business. As a result of exploitation in upper Gali, Ma Hualong, a battalion officer, beat up officers and civilians, resulting in a big prison. Emperor Kangxi ordered to punish the chief villain strictly. The debts owed by the people were settled by the general of Qiying and the governor of Zhejiang according to the market interest rate. At that time, the military and the people had a very serious relationship. Zhao Shilin found it very difficult to borrow 310000 liang from Qiying.

At this time, I received a letter from my stepmother Wan, saying, "Wu Sangui rebelled and your younger brother was killed. I'm very sad! My family's ancestral home is Jinling. Now I've sold all the properties and fields in Chengjiang, ready to return home and get along with you." After reading the letter, he said happily, "when Mrs. Tai arrives with the money, she can pay off the debt and settle the case on behalf of the people." So he agreed with the general to pay back in April of the next year. By the time Mrs. Tai arrived, she agreed to Zhao Shilin's righteous act and sent 20000 taels of silver to the barracks.

When the general saw that the silver brand was from Yunnan, he said with emotion: "justice is so righteous, we should help Shengde." So he gave up the profits to repay the principal. Later, he reduced the profits by six tenths, making a total of more than 50000 Liang. He mobilized the officials and businessmen in Hangzhou to donate enough money, and released the imprisoned civilians to return home with praises.

Hangzhou is a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River with dense houses. Every fire will bring endless troubles. He created 200 firefighters for disaster prevention, under the command of the general. When a fire broke out, it was put out immediately and did not spread. Li Min wrote a stone inscription in the book of Wu Yi Zheng Ji, and built his ancestral hall.

In the 25th year of Kangxi (1686), he was transferred to the governor of Jiangsu Province. When he took office, he was called "good governance" for "compassionate punishment and prison, Li Qian FA, promoting water conservancy, running schools, rewarding filial piety and fraternity, upholding honesty". In the 26th year of Kangxi (1687), he was transferred back to the capital. He was promoted to the Ministry of military to arrest the right servant, and then to the Ministry of official to turn the right servant to the left servant. He boldly recommended talents and did not engage in cronyism, which made officials dare not engage in malpractice. ?

At that time, Rongcheng's government affairs were biased and its apportionment was harsh. After Zhao Shilin took office, he did his best to get rid of them and engraved inscriptions to show that he would always abide by them.

He actively put forward the governance measures, and wrote: "Taiwan is not far from Fujian, and the place is thousands of miles away. Although it is far and near, it can be trained.

It is advisable to set up one government and two counties to govern the people. There will be a commander-in-chief for Taiwan and a deputy general for Penghu. They will supply the garrison with the products of thousands of miles. Firewood and grain can not be used successfully. Even if there is a small amount of assistance, there will be little money to pay. In this way, the number of coastal flood troops can be reduced. " The Qing court thought that it was feasible, and the approval documents were sent to the Ministry of officials and the Ministry of war. The establishment of Taiwan's government and officials is just like that of the mainland, all of which came from his suggestions.

In 1684, Zhao Qiansheng was the governor of Zhejiang Province. When he came to office, he learned a lot of opinions, investigated and studied, avoided harm and prospered. Water transport in Zhejiang Province (the state transports grain from waterways) has always been heavily funded and its disadvantages have been growing. He made an in-depth investigation, understood the causes and consequences, and took measures to solve the problems that had been intertwined for decades. Another example is the Hangzhou River, which has been silted up for more than 200 years, and the houses are damp, which is inconvenient.

When he heard the public's response, he took it as his duty to raise hundreds of liang of silver first. Taking "huilongqiao" as a pilot project, he carried out fine accounting, and the whole project only needed more than 10000 Liang.
