Life of the characters

Youth

In 1659, Shi Shilun was born in Yakou Township, Jinjiang County, Fujian Province. He was the second son of Shi Lang, the "Hai pili". In June of 1682, Shi Lang, who was then the commander of Fujian Navy, was appointed to the military platform. His sons Shi Shilun and Shi Shipu both took part in the attack. Shi Lang led more than 20000 Navy men and more than 100 warships from Tongshan to Penghu. After several days of fierce fighting, he defeated the garrison. Shi Shilun went out with his father at that time and witnessed the magnificent and fierce Penghu sea battle with his own eyes, so he wrote such a poem with great passion: "only Chengen met him when he went out to the East and made contributions by borrowing tianweiyuan. With a transverse wave to destroy caves and houses, hanging soldiers across the sea. Smoke away beacon fire, a thousand sails, waves roll flag, a million winds. The general is still the old hero when he captured 36 Penghu. "

Early official

In 1685, Shi Shilun became the magistrate of Taizhou in Jiangsu Province because of his father's shadow. During his tenure as the governor of Taizhou, Shi Shilun made great achievements as an official, and Taizhou was well governed. In 1688, Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, was flooded. Emperor Kangxi sent his ministers to supervise the repair of the river embankment. There were many people following the imperial ministers, and they lived in the post stations along the way. Shi Shilun severely punished the criminals. there was a civil commotion in Hubei Province. The officers and soldiers of Taizhou went to rescue Taizhou. Shi Shilun sent people to prepare food for them. He sent people to supervise the officers and soldiers with sticks. If they found that they were disturbing the people, they were immediately arrested and severely punished. All his officers and soldiers obeyed the law and did not dare to cross the thunder pool. In 1689, Shi Shilun was delayed in taking over the task of repairing the sand boats in Jingkou (now Zhenjiang), so the Ministry of officials negotiated to demote him. Governor Fu lashangshu pleaded for Shi Shilun, saying that he was honest and just, and hoped that the imperial court would keep him in office. Emperor Kangxi allowed fulata's request. Shi Shilun was promoted to the magistrate of Yangzhou. People in Yangzhou often like to wander. Shi Shilun stopped this style, and the atmosphere in Yangzhou changed. In August of the 30th year of Kangxi's reign (1691), the tide suddenly raged and the Fangong dyke in Taizhou collapsed. Shi Shilun asked for donations to repair the dyke.

Promotion of officialdom

In 1693, Shi Shilun was appointed magistrate of Jiangning. In the 35th year of Kangxi (1696), his father Shi Lang died, and the governor fan Chengxun Shu asked the imperial court to allow him to stay in office because Shi Shilun was deeply loved by the people. The censor Hu Demi wrote that Shi Shilun would go to his post to watch the funeral, and later for his mother. After more than a year, Shi Shilun was granted the title of governor of Suzhou. Shi Shilun still refused to take office. In the 38th year of Kangxi (1699), Shi Shilun was granted the title of huaixu road in Jiangnan. In the 40th year of Kangxi (1701), there was a vacancy in the post of Hunan's inspector, and all the officials of the imperial court elected Shi Shilun to take office. Ethan a, the great scholar, went up to the court. Emperor Kangxi issued an imperial edict saying: "I know Shi Shilun is very honest, but when he is paranoid, he will protect the people if the ordinary people fight against Zhu Sheng; when Zhu Sheng fight against Jin Shen, he will protect them. We must be fair and selfless in dealing with affairs. Is it better to carry out our duties? It's just right for an official like Shi Shilun to hand over things like money and food to him. " In this year, Shi Shilun was awarded the post of Hunan's political envoy. Originally, Hunan's Tian Fu, Ding Yin, needed to pay corvee, and Cao Mi needed to pay Beijing fee. When Shi Shilun arrived in Hunan, he abolished all the corvee fees and reduced a quarter of the capital fees. People set up stone tablets to praise Shi Shilun's practice. Shi Shilun has been a local official in Jiangsu and Anhui for a long time because of the appeal of public opinion. In the 43rd year of Kangxi (1704), Shi Shilun was transferred to Anhui Province. In 1705, Shi Shilun was transferred to be the Minister of Taipusi. In the 45th year of Kangxi's reign (1706), he was dismissed from his post because he failed to inspect the pawnshop when he was in Hunan Province. In March, he was also granted the title of Shun Tian Fu Fu Fu Yin. He wrote to the imperial court to request that Si Fang be forbidden to handle lawsuits without authorization, that treacherous people take over donations, that dental shops seize goods, and that prostitutes sing, dance, drink, and feast. Emperor Kangxi ordered all departments to discuss and make it a rule. In 1709, Shi Shilun was granted the title of the censor of the left Deputy capital, who was also in charge of the affairs of Fu Yin. Kangxi 49 years (1710), was moved to the Ministry of household minister, Premier Qian Liang. He was soon transferred to the governor's warehouse.

General manager of water transport

In 1715, Shi Shilun was appointed governor of water transport before he could take office. After Shi Shilun took office as governor of water transport, he inspected the disadvantages of water transport in detail, got rid of envy money, impeached corrupt officials, abolished unreasonable elements in labor, and managed water transport very strictly. To supervise the transport of water vessels throughout the year, to ensure the water transport, dare not have a slight neglect. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was using troops in the northwest frontier. Shi Shilun used water transport to transport materials to Shaanxi through Henan. In the 59th year of Kangxi (1720), because of the outbreak of drought in Shaanxi, there was a famine. Emperor Kangxi ordered Shi Shilun to arrive in Shaanxi to help governor ehai raise military salaries, and ordered him to investigate the route of the Yellow River water transport from Henan Province to Xi'an along the way to Shaanxi, and to investigate the number of existing grain stones in Shaanxi. Shi Shilun went west along the Yellow River and wrote: "from Mengjin County, Henan Province to Taiyangdu, Shaanxi Province, there are dozens of beaches in different sizes, and the length of the track varies. Some of them are higher to the south of the Yellow River, while others are higher to the north of the yellow river. From below Mianchi, the boat can carry more than 300 stones; from Mianchi to the upstream, the river is relatively high and can only carry dozens of stones. From the pillar to the gate of God, there is no path, but the roadside stones often have square eyes and stone noses, whose traces can still be seen in the past. From Shanzhou to Xi'an, the river is relatively stable, and there are transportation routes. So it depicts the river course, showing Emperor Kangxi on the map. " "There is no ship to transport from Henan to Sanmen of Shanzhou," he said. It can be changed to transport by car below Taiyangdu. It's more convenient for Taiyangdu to travel to Dangjia Wharf in Xi'an. After entering the warehouse, the Dangjia wharf can be changed to transport grain 200000 stone and silver 130000 Liang by car. But the transportation of 200000 stone millet can only transport 100000 stone meters. If the emperor orders Henan to exchange two stone valleys for one stone rice, the transportation cost can be saved by half. If you are worried that the rice is difficult to store, please send out the old one and put in the new one as usual. " After the memorial was sent in, Emperor Kangxi was concerned about the disaster in Shaanxi. He paid 500000 liang of money and ordered to open the warehouse to release grain. Because most of the local officials were in front of the army, he ordered to select officials from the Ministry to arrive in Shaanxi and ordered Shi Shilun to take charge of these things. Shi Shilun ordered to investigate the poor in 12 ways, and gave food according to the population of each family. He was rescued far and near.

He died in his old age

In the spring of the 60th year of Kangxi (1721), there was rainfall, and the disaster was alleviated. Emperor Kangxi ordered Shi Shilun to continue to go to the governor for water transportation. In April 1722, Emperor Kangxi ordered his son Shi Tingxiang to visit the post station. In May of the same year, Shi Shilun died in Huai'an. He was 64 years old. Yishu asked to be buried with his father Shi Lang in Fujian Province. Emperor Kangxi allowed his will to reward him for his honesty and give him a good burial.

Main achievements

Judicial and civil affairs

In 1689, Shi Shilun was promoted to the magistrate of Yangzhou. At that time, there were a lot of civil disputes in Yangzhou, but Shi Shilun's cases were neither protracted nor unjust, so his reputation of being good at solving cases spread far and wide. In the 59th year of Kangxi (1720), there was a famine in Shaanxi. During the disaster relief, Shi Shilun found out that most of the warehouse storage in Shaanxi had been wasted and would be impeached by Shangshu. The local chief executive, e Hai, intended to tell him something about his son Ting Xiang's work as a county magistrate in Huining, suggesting that if he was impeached by Shangshu, it would be bad for his son. Shi Shilun said: "since I became an official in the court, I have not taken care of my son." Finally, he was impeached by Shangshu, so he was dismissed from Shaanxi.

Reform of maladministration

Shi Shilun took up the post of Hunan political envoy, in charge of Hunan finance. At that time, the land tax in Hunan had to add the corvee fee to the capitation tax, and the rice transported to the capital had to add the transportation fee, which made the people miserable. When he took office, he paid all the corvee
