Yu Chenglong was a late bloomer. At the age of 44, he went to Luocheng, a very remote place in Guangxi, and became a county magistrate. He managed troubled times and made Los Angeles very good in three years. It used to be very deserted, but it became very prosperous three years later, and the people called it Yu Qingtian. Because of his outstanding political ability, he later moved to Huangzhou as a tongzhi, and because he helped the court quickly wipe out traitors in the San Francisco rebellion, he performed well. He was promoted to an outstanding figure and later to a magistrate. Finally, he became the governor of Zhili, the governor of Liangjiang, and a college student in Diange. He died peacefully at the age of 68 and was able to die well.
No matter what level of official Yu Chenglong is, the daily menu is radish and cabbage, and extravagance and waste of himself, his family and subordinates are strictly prohibited. On the way to the Governor's Office of Liangjiang, in order not to disturb the people along the way, he didn't know how to clear the way, nor did he inform the officials in advance to receive him. He sat on a donkey cart and stayed in a small hotel. The main food along the way is vegetables. Who can be a provincial or ministerial official now?
Yu Chenglong basically can't eat meat for a year. If you want to drink tea, break off the leaves of Sophora japonica in your yard and soak them in water. In a year, the locust tree will be bare. Yu Chenglong worked hard all his life and set an example for the country and people. He once said? I don't have any special hobbies. Cabbage and clothes are enough every day. What's the use of asking for so many white and yellow things? ? No wonder even Kangxi couldn't help praising Yu Chenglong as an honest official who never met in a hundred years.
