A famous historian named Zizhan, also known as Dongpo Jushi, was born in Meishan, Meizhou. He was not only a famous writer, painter, and gourmet in the Northern Song Dynasty, but also a rare honest official. According to historical records, Su Dongpo's attendants who came in and out were loyal to the party's rules and regulations, and they were very upright. The courtiers were second to none. They knew the place, cared about the people, promoted good and eliminated evil, and won the respect of the people. Therefore, adulterers feel cold when they hear it, and virtuous people regard it as the Big Dipper. 1. Disaster relief and peace of mind Su Dongpo passed the Jinshi examination in his 20s and first served as the chief registrar of Fumao County in Henan Province. Before taking office, he was recommended to take the outspoken admonishment examination and was appointed as the judge of Fengxiang Prefecture in Dali. He entered the third class with the ambiguous imperial examination system. Fengxiang, located in the northwest border, was the front line of the Song-Xia war. History books say: Since Yuan Hao's rebellion, the people have been greedy and it has been difficult to use troops. They fly to the border every year to replenish war supplies on the front line. The geographical location is so important, but natural disasters occur every year. During Su Dongpo's tenure in Fengxiang, he suffered from drought, floods, locusts and other disasters. Once, it rained for three days and three nights in a row, and Su Dongpo was on pins and needles. Three days after the rain, the sky was not clear, and he was even more worried. Therefore, he personally led his men to immerse themselves in the water to observe the people's sentiments. He felt our feelings and tried every means to help those who were most in need. His mood at this time is fully expressed in his masterpiece "Hiyu Pavilion". Su Dongpo visited Hangzhou twice. The first time, Hangzhou suffered a severe locust plague; the second time was floods in winter and spring, and then drought. He tried his best to help hungry people. For example, use the money to build official houses to buy rice houses for hungry people; ask the court to reduce taxes and forgive debts; build a pharmacy and a hospital to treat patients, etc. In the seventh year of Xining, Su Dongpo was transferred to the post of magistrate of Mizhou. At that time, the drought and locust situation in Mizhou was still the same, the people in the country were all over the age limit, public and private affairs were scarce, and the people were in dire straits. Su Dongpo devoted himself to alleviating hunger and adopted many abandoned children. On the one hand, he organized the masses to fight disasters and save themselves, and commended those who made outstanding contributions. Two years later, Su Dongpo became the prefect of Xuzhou. It rained continuously throughout the day and night. Then, the Yellow River burst in Caocun, Qianzhou, flooding 45 counties and 300,000 hectares of fertile farmland. The flood peak soon reached the bottom of Xuzhou City. The water depth was 2.8 feet, which was 1.1 feet higher than the city. The wealthy people in the city realized that the end was coming, and took their treasures out of the city to avoid the water, while others hurriedly hid in chaos. Seeing this scene, Su Dongpo immediately posted a notice to the people in the city: As long as I am here, there will be Xuzhou! I swear to live and die with Xuzhou! Later, he ordered all the wealthy people to be driven into the city, called on the people in the city to actively participate in the flood fight, and personally went to the Xuzhou military camp to mobilize officers and soldiers to defend Xuzhou. When the soldiers saw him covered in mud, they were deeply moved. They compete to build a long beach using many bricks. In order to direct the soldiers and civilians to separate and block the water, Su Dongpo stayed in the city and never entered his house. Wherever there is danger, he appears. After a day and night of hard struggle, the water finally receded, the danger was eliminated, and the lives and property of thousands of Xuzhou people were saved. Later, Su Dongpo allocated grain and rice to properly solve the aftermath problems of the victims. Second, Su Dongpo’s political goal in the United States is to benefit the four parties and one party. Throughout his official career, he started from Dengzhou in the east, Fengxiang in the west, Dingzhou in the north, and Danzhou in the south, including Mizhou, Hangzhou, Xuzhou, Huzhou, Huangzhou, Yingzhou, Yingzhou and other places. He served as a local official. No matter where he is, he will change the old and the new, change customs, do good things, and do practical things
It turns out that the coal seams here are thick, the coal quality is good, and it is easy to mine. From now on, people no longer have to worry about cooking. When Su Dongpo was governing Hangzhou, he discovered that many natural disasters in Hangzhou were caused by the lack of water conservancy construction and siltation of rivers. Therefore, he personally inspected the local water system and led the people to dredge more than 10 miles each of Maoshan River and Yanqiao River. Maoshan River was particularly affected by the river water and the tide of Yanqiao River. It also built a dam gate to control river water and tides. In addition, in view of the fact that the siltation of West Lake has not deepened for a long time, the grass has grown and the water has dried up, and the farmland accounts for most of the lake, I have written to the court twice, repeatedly emphasizing that the West Lake cannot be abandoned and must be dredged. He also proposed five things that can be abolished, namely: first, if it is abolished, it does not meet the purpose of letting people celebrate their birthdays; second, the waste residents must be re-salted; third, waste cannot be irrigated; fourth, , The rivers in the city are waste, and the river water will easily cause siltation; 5. Wasted official wine cannot be brewed. When the court approved his request, he immediately raised funds and manpower, and led the people to build a dyke that was more than 30 miles long. Six bridges were built on the embankment to collect water and return it to ships; peach, willow and hibiscus were planted on both sides of the embankment, which looked like a piece of jade brocade when the flowers bloomed. During this period, he patrolled the embankment every day and lived and ate with the migrant workers. Dongpo Pork, which people loved to eat, was made by himself and given to the people building embankments. This long embankment was named Sugong Embankment by people at that time; until now, it is still a major landscape in Hangzhou. Even though Su Dongpo was demoted to Danzhou, he still tried his best to benefit the people. At that time, Danzhou was considered a place that had been invaded by others, insulted by barbarians, had no food, no medicine, no stones, and no life. People don't know what poetry and books are. However, Su Dongpo overcame many difficulties and did everything possible to set up a school and promoted a widespread academic style. Since then, Hainan Island has produced a large number of talents. Qiu was known as Shuangyu in the history of Hainan Island, and also became a great upright official who stayed here for thousands of years. Third, Su Dongpo was an honest and frank person who had his own opinions on everything and dared to express different opinions, never.
At that time, the reformists headed by Wen Yanbo advocated reform, while the conservatives headed by Wen Yanbo opposed the reform, and the two sides fought openly and covertly. Su Dongpo agreed with the reform, but expressed strong dissatisfaction with Wang Anshi. The United States was busy legislating and neglected to investigate corrupt officials. At the same time, he criticized Sima Guang for believing that the new law was unfeasible, and even accused him of being loyal but lacking wisdom. As a result, both the old and new parties were prejudiced against him. But he has no regrets and goes his own way, often criticizing current affairs with poetry. So it is even more disliked by some people. Once, Su Dongpo wrote a poem about cypress trees. One of the lines was that the roots are in the grave, and only the hidden dragon knows the cold years. Its original meaning is: the roots of juniper can be inserted into the wine spring without bending. The underground spiny dragon is the friend and confidant of juniper. However, when Ding and some people from Yushitai learned about this, they took the opportunity to make a fuss. They interpreted it as the unyielding roots of the juniper tree, indicating that the author was against the emperor, had evil intentions, and was a great rebel. Song Shenzong Zhao Xu believed the accusations from Ding Li and others, and ordered people to arrest Su Dongpo and ransack his home. Ding Li also wanted to kill him. This is the famous Wutai Poetry Case in history. The Wutai Shi case happened suddenly, and Su Dongpo was imprisoned before he could react. Fortunately, some upright ministers defended him, especially the seriously ill Empress Dowager Cao, who came to protect him and saved him from death. However, he was demoted to Yong Lian's deputy in Huangzhou, and a month later he became an official serving the people. The uninhibited and uninhibited Su Dongpo had just been released from prison and wrote another poem: I am tired after writing all my life, and my reputation has never been low. On the vertical back of another horse, eas
became the judge of Fengxiang Mansion at the age of 25. As soon as he arrived, he immediately visited the counties under his control incognito, making secret visits to punish evil and promote good. He also re-examines convicted prisoners and checks them truthfully. He will never unjustly accuse a good person and let a bad person go. When he was governor of Michigan, petty theft and robbery of wealth and women was common there. After many efforts, he quickly found the culprit and decisively beheaded him in public, thus quickly improving public security in Michigan. When he was in Hangzhou for the second time, Zhou Zhi, Yan Zhang, and Yiyan, the sons of Yan Xun, the richest man in Hangzhou, incited more than 200 children from wealthy families to gather to cause trouble and disrupt society. Because Yan is rich, wealthy and lawless, he has bullied men and women for many years and committed all kinds of evil. People dare not speak out when he is angry, and even the government is afraid of him. Su Dongpo was unequivocal and quickly discovered their crimes, arrested them, and sent them to prison in this state. On the day when Yan Zhang was imprisoned, they were very happy in the village of Hangzhou, and they all rushed to tell each other that there was nothing but a great evil. When Su Dongpo was in charge of Dingzhou, he saw that the military and administration there were disorganized, the army was in chaos, the officials were corrupt, and they were punished severely. He also formulated a set of local regulations: those who corrupted and violated the law were assigned to the worst places, and alcoholic bloggers were beaten to death with a stick. Soon, the atmosphere here also changed. The list goes on and on. So when Su Dongpo was good to others, he was afraid that he would not be as good as others. If you don't you won't see clearly. do not be afraid. He also said that he dared to do whatever he wanted, regardless of the harm.
