Su Tingyu
Su Tingyu, a native of Aotou Village (now Aotou village, Xindian Town, Xiang'an District, Xiamen City), was born in the Qing Dynasty. He was born in guimao in 1783 and died in 1852. His father is Su Guangcai, a master of medicine; his mother is Zhuang, a native of Quanzhou City.
Character experience
Su Tingyu has been studying in Quanzhou since she was five years old. He lost his father when he was young. He was diligent and studious. In 1803, he made up for his doctoral student and was elected in 1808.
A scholar and a junior official
In the 19th year of Jiaqing (1814), Su Tingyu became a Jinshi. He was appointed a Shuji Shi (Shuji Shi: a short-term position in the Hanlin academy, learning official knowledge, generally for three years). After leaving the Academy (Hanlin academy assessment), he served as the head of the criminal department and was diligent in handling cases. He had a reputation of being able.
In 1826, he was promoted to wailang, a member of the Ministry of punishment.
In the seventh year of Daoguang (1827), he was a first-class doctor of the Ministry of punishment. The next year, the law house was registered for use.
Release Songjiang, Jiangning, Suzhou and other government offices
In the ninth year of Daoguang (1829), he was appointed as the governor of Songjiang Prefecture in Jiangsu Province, and was transferred to the acting governor of Jiangning Prefecture in Jiangsu Province.
The case of Qin Jiande in Anhui Province has not been closed for many years. The governor asked Su Tingyu for help. Su Tingyu tried him day and night for a hundred days, and eventually Qin Xuejian was put on trial.
Just three months after taking up the post of governor of Songjiang, he was transferred to the post of acting governor of Suzhou.
At that time, Suzhou's tax was the highest in the country, especially the water tax. The people valued the gentry more than the gentry. Su Tingyu ordered the gentry to pay taxes, while the civilian households reduced taxes, which was praised by all the people.
Taoist officials to Shandong
Daoguang ten years (1830), moved to Shaanxi Yanyu Suidao member. (Dao: the office dispatched by the provincial government; Dao members are in charge of the administration of Dao and govern the subordinate government)
In the 12th year of Daoguang (1832), he went to Danyang to act as a Taoist inspector of Jiangsu Province, and then transferred to Su Songtai. Later, he was appointed as an inspector of Shandong Province (inspector: under the governor, in charge of a provincial prison).
When he was appointed as the inspector general of Shandong Province, Su tingyuping had many important cases.
In the case of Li Mengshan's murder of a traitor in Gaomi, the government and the county were convicted of murder without authorization and were to be sentenced to hanging. Su Tingyu said: "the traitor killed the traitor, and it should not be mentioned in the law." That is to say, he killed the adulterer in the adultery place, and at the time of the incident, he was not investigated in law and was acquitted.
At that time, some government and county governments in Shandong set up private detention centers, called "tiger cave", to detain those involved in the case and extort ransom for a long time. Su Tingyu learned about this, went to the "tiger cave" to investigate in person, got hundreds of people, and immediately released. All the prisoners had long hair, long face and no face.
Sichuan envoys
In 1833, Su Tingyu was transferred to Sichuan as an inspector general and an acting governor (governor: under the governor, in charge of the provincial Civil Affairs). In the 14th year of Daoguang (1834), huiyinchashi was appointed.
Su Tingyu tried the case, "diligent in interrogation, sound."
He said in the preface of miscellaneous records of Politics: "when a lawsuit comes to an official, the delay and speed of the settlement is the most important factor. When two plants are created and four people are abandoned, their parents, brothers and wives feel uneasy The people have suffered a lot because of this backlog, and the officials have done a lot of work. "
He tried the case without delay, especially the evidence. In Sichuan Province, a child's daughter-in-law was abused and fled. Her brother sued her mother-in-law for killing her, and a woman's corpse happened to float in the pond nearby. The county magistrate decided on the case. Su Tingyu review that: the body is not accurate can not be finalized. Later, it was found that the child's daughter-in-law had married and had children.
At that time, Sichuan women bandits (bandits who rob women of money and sex) ran across the city. Li Beixi robbed women with a knife and gang raped them. Su Tingyu was arrested and sentenced to severe punishment, and other gangs all gathered traces.
In the 15th year of Daoguang (1835), the frontier bandits were burned and plundered. Li Yimin, the political emissary, supervised the troops to suppress them. Su Tingyu also took charge of the vassal system, and donated ten thousand gold to pay for the army. Emperor Daoguang rewarded Hualing.
Sichuan political envoy
Daoguang 16 years (1836), promoted Sichuan buzhengshi.
In the 17th year of Daoguang (1837), leiboguoyi of Pingshan in Mabian County plundered. The governor of Eshan dispatched more than ten thousand troops and attacked the two sides at the same time. Su Tingyu said: "the division line is more than ten thousand, but the governor does not go in person, the power is different, afraid of trouble." As a result, the two soldiers failed to return.
In February of 1838, the price of rice in Chengdu rose sharply, from five or six hundred Wen to one thousand or three hundred Wen per bucket of rice. At that time, the people were furious.
Su Tingyu did not suffer from natural disasters. His province has a bumper harvest every year, and it is close to Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi provinces. It must be the result of unscrupulous merchants hoarding
One is to order the States and counties to inspect the rural farms and hoarders every day, order them to produce grain, and strictly arrest the gangs who seize the opportunity to rob grain.
Second, it mobilized and transported grain everywhere, led and advocated officials to donate money to buy rice into the city, and disguised as peddlers to sell at low prices to stabilize grain prices.
Third, in order to solve the problem of crowd buying, many supply points were added and placards were posted.
After two months of hard work, Chengdu's grain prices have gradually dropped, but they are still more expensive than in previous years. To this end, Su Tingyu resolutely punished many rice shops in the city, such as Wang Fuxing, and posted notices. He also ordered small rice vendors to sell sporadically in the streets and alleys, limiting the price of rice shops. So far, the price of rice in Chengdu has plummeted.
Su Tingyu in dealing with the rice price surge in Chengdu, forgetting to eat and sleep, countless people live, resulting in "white hair.". Chengdu people feel their virtue and send plaques one after another, but they are all declined by him.
Acting governor of Sichuan
In April of the 18th year of Daoguang (1838), Eshan was transferred to be the Minister of the Ministry of punishment; in July, Eshan died and Baoxing, governor of Sichuan Province, was transferred to be the Minister of the Ministry of punishment. In autumn, Su Tingyu was appointed governor of Sichuan Province and Minister of Canadian Army. Liu Yunke was the chief envoy.
In October, Mu Jimin and others from Huairen County, Guizhou province gathered 500 people to make trouble in Sichuan. Shujiang County in Sichuan province borders Guizhou Province. Mao Huifeng, the county magistrate, Zhang Yinming and Wang Dingyi in Huairen County arrested Mu Jimin. Zhang Yinming was killed. Huairen county officials wanted to appoint him to Sichuan Province. Governor he Changling used the words of "bandits crossing the border and making trouble in Sichuan Province" to report. Su Tingyu didn't argue with him, so he ordered Zhang Zuogong, the General Commander of the army, to fight in Guizhou and help the army with their weapons. Mu Jimin was finally captured. Su Tingyu didn't compete with Sichuan in terms of merit.
He was demoted to Sichuan as an envoy
Sichuan Guoyi harassed the capital of Shu, and often thousands of groups, wantonly raped and plundered the border people, causing chaos for ten years. Successive governors all whitewash the edge of the merit, attached to the case.
Su Tingyu believes that without sending troops to suppress and arrest Zhang Guowei, it is not enough to eliminate the people's suffering. Therefore, he went to the imperial court together with general kaiyinbu and Governor Zhang Bilu, and asked the imperial court to pay three million yuan for the army's pay in advance on the ground of the light tax in Sichuan. The tax in Sichuan was levied five yuan every two years, which was apportioned in ten years.
Daoguang was cautious in using troops, especially in increasing taxes. During the court discussion, he blamed Su Tingyu for "shaking people's hearts and hurting their vitality". But niansu Tingyu, out of his foolishness, honesty and uprightness, bravely went to fight himself, so he was only demoted to be a watchman and pulled out his flower plume.
In 1840, Su Tingyu was ordered to return to Beijing. During her seven years in Sichuan, Su Tingyu "severely punished the bandits, and the people relied on dozens of prefectures and counties for their safety; provided relief to the hungry, and the people depended on more than 100000 households." On the day of leaving Sichuan, "the common people cover the way, and ten thousand people cry away."
Returning from retirement
In 1840, Su Tingyu returned to Beijing and became Shaoqing of Dali temple. (Dali Temple: the official in charge of prison; Shaoqing: the deputy in charge of Dali Temple)
In the same year, he was ordered to retire for three years and returned to his hometown. He settled in the north of Tongzheng Lane in Quanzhou.
According to the records of Tong'an literature and history materials, in 1842, when the British troops visited Xiamen, Su Tingyu recruited local people, organized militia and hired sharpshooters to train in wuhumen, Fuzhou. In addition, they also donated money to build earth fortresses in Quanzhou Haikou to prevent enemy ships from attacking.
In 1843, the British invaded Shanghai. Daoguang then used sipingjingtang to handle Suzhou grain station with Su Tingyu, but only for one year. When he returned to his hometown the next year, he was still concerned about current affairs and got rid of the bitterness of salt merchants.
Love Quanzhou
In 1840, Su Tingyu left his post and lived in Quanzhou for 12 years until his death in 1852.
Su Tingyu is enthusiastic about public welfare.
He donated money to build kaoting, Wenchang temple and Zunjing Pavilion, and wrote inscriptions on the construction of three temples, as well as jueshizhen Sutra of guanyue temple in tonghuai, Quanzhou, yuanmiaoguan inscriptions on the East Street, and Quanzhou Wudi temple in the north corner of the city.
Su Tingyu wrote Jueshi Zhenjing for guanyue temple in tonghuai, Quanzhou in February of 1842, when his son Su shizhun asked someone to engrave it in the temple. Its content is mainly Confucian preaching and religious propaganda. Among them, the four words of "emperor Guandi's admonition" to "be a good man, speak good words, read good books, and do good deeds" quickly spread all over the country.
In the 27th year of Daoguang (1847), he wrote the plaque of Minglun hall in Quanzhou to carry forward the sages and inspire future generations.
In the same year, he bought 32 statues of the great gentry, decorated them and sent them to the datuoyan collection of Qingyuan mountain in Quanzhou, leaving precious materials for the study of Quanzhou's modern culture and religion.
