Life of the characters

Although Xu Sanwei was born in an official family, he lost his parents when he was young and was left alone. The three brothers were raised by his grandmother. He was smart in his childhood, and he was "extremely sensitive" in learning to read. He once paid homage to Jiajing and xinyouke, and took Jieyuan jinyifeng as his master. Seeing that he was "extraordinary in appearance, profound in purpose, kind and affectionate", Jin knew that he would be an extraordinary person in the future and wanted to pass on what he had learned in his life to him. Therefore, we should pay close attention to education. Xu Sanwei also "quenched excitation, there is a breath of ambition.". So at the age of nine, he studied arts and science, and was a student of twelve people's county school. Wanli first year (1573 AD) Zhongju person, five years (1577 AD) into Jinshi. He was first granted the title of Fufeng County, Fengxiang Prefecture, Shaanxi Province. There used to be a lot of thieves in the local area, but the former arrested them severely. After taking over, Xu Sanwei read the files and found that more than 70 people were found guilty of theft. He said, "the people are responsible for stealing. Why should they only commit crimes against the people?" so he tried again. He chose six or seven serious crimes to be punished, and released the rest, telling them to be a new man and not to steal any more. These people are grateful, so Xu Sanwei's reputation spread far and wide. A thief in Qishan stole a cow from Fufeng County and sold it. It's said that Xu Sanwei, the magistrate of Fufeng County, gave the cattle back to the owner. During his five years in office, "all the people who are tired of Diao have become good." In dealing with government affairs, Xu Sanwei paid special attention to reform. He was afraid of disturbing the people, so he called it quits. After the disaster in the county, Xu Sanwei took measures such as "reducing civil affairs and stopping tax collection" to enable the people to recuperate, develop production and spend the barren years safely, which was supported by the officials and the people. During his five years in office, he was transferred to the central government of the people's Republic of China for his outstanding achievements in disaster control. After that, he was released to the outside world, and successively served as an inspection envoy and an administrative envoy. In the 27th year of Wanli (1599 A.D.), Xu Sanwei was promoted to the post of governor of Gansu Province. After taking office, he was ordered by Li Wen, governor of the trilateral government, to inspect Songshan and other newly recovered places and prepare for the construction of the Qianli border wall. In July of the 29th year (A.D. 1601), he took the great victory in Gansu Province to kill the enemy, and Songshan resumed his founding work. He was promoted to Tongyi official, the right deputy Duyu envoy of duchayuan, and youdailang of jiabingbu. In the thirtieth year of Wanli (1602 A.D.), the mining tax made people to the West. They "run amuck, do harm to the local people, and force local officials to death without fear." Together with Wu Yongyu, governor of Shaanxi Province, and Li Wen, governor of the three sides, Xu Sanwei sent troops to capture these outlaws and bring them to justice. After that, they jointly called on the imperial court to dismiss the mining tax. The memorials are well-organized, sincere, and full of concern for the country and the people between the lines. They were recited by the courtiers for a while (see Renqiu county annals? Art and literature for the original text). In the 34th year of Wanli, after Li Wen left his post, Xu Sanwei joined as governor of the three sides of Gansu Province and Minister of the Ministry of military affairs as governor of the three sides of Gansu Province and Minister of grain and salaries, and "prevented qiuhuamachi according to the old rules of his predecessor.". After he took over the post, he formulated the border defense strategy of "paying equal attention to both money and war, giving equal attention to both kindness and power", which made the enemy and the enemy cower. The frontier is quiet and the people live in peace. Because of his repeated military contributions, he was awarded the crown prince Shaobao. In the 36th year of Wanli (1608 AD), due to overwork, he fell ill and died in the frontier defense office. He was only over 50 years old.
