In March of the 20th year of Wanli (1592), he and Yuan Hongdao joined the list of Jinshi. In August, he was granted the magistrate of Changzhou (now Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province). Changzhou belongs to the three Wu States, "the most important tax is in the world". Jiang Yingke sympathizes with the people and is often scolded by the "officer" for his failure to urge the government to take effective measures. In order to alleviate the people's suffering of "relieving all the servitudes in Beijing", more than 2000 mu of servitude land was set up to pay for the servitude. After six years in office, his reputation has spread far and wide. In the 26th year of Wanli (1598), he first reported to the head of the Ministry of official affairs.

The people of the world always try to escape from the imperial power, but the civil rights show the heart, but there is no trace to find, and the people's heart is backward, which has a great influence on the survival of the country. Therefore, officials must "dare not ignore the people, can not bear to maim the people, can not forget the people in a moment.". He criticized the corruption of the government at that time: "the gold in the palace is as high as a fight, and the dead people beside the road are not as good as dogs.

Once upon a time, there was a doctor who boasted that he could cure hunchback. He said: "no matter the camel is like a bow, like a shrimp, or bent like an iron ring, please let me go and treat it. If it's cured in the morning, it'll be straight like an arrow in the evening. "A man believed it and asked him to cure his hump. The doctor wants to come to two door panels, put one on the ground, ask the hunchback to lie on it, press the other on it, and then jump up and step on it hard. In this way, the hunchback straightened quickly, but people were also crushed. The son of a hunchback man wanted to go to the government to sue him, but the doctor said, "my profession is to cure hunchback. I just straighten the hunchback. I care whether people live or die!

enlightenment

There is a man who, in order to cultivate his blessings and give alms, does whatever he can to obtain illegitimate money by all kinds of deceit and blackmail. He thinks that giving alms and giving alms with such money will have great merits. If we only focus on the subjective motive, regardless of the objective effect, we can only make things worse.
