Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi

(one of the nine most senior frontier ministers of the Qing Dynasty, in charge of the military and civil affairs of Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan).

His father made a living by renting other people's farmland, and his family was very poor. His relatives had a lot of books in their family. Because he often went out, Chen dasheu often looked after his family and read all the classics. In the 11th year of Yongzheng (1733) of the Qing Dynasty, he was a Jinshi, and in the first year of Qianlong (1736), he ranked first in the imperial examination. He was the editor of the Imperial Academy, and served as the official of daily life. Later, he succeeded as the Minister of rites and officials, and served as the official of Jingyan, and became the teacher of the emperor. Later, he was promoted to the Ministry of war, the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and the assistant officer of the Department of military aircraft. He also served successively as governor of Anhui, Jiangsu, Fujian, governor of Zhili, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and became a feudal official.

Chen dachuo was born in a peasant family and knew the sufferings of the people. When he was the governor of Anhui and Jiangsu, he was in a famine. He worked hard to open official warehouses, loaned cooperative grain, bought grain from other provinces, stopped the delivery of grain, and raised grain to help the victims. When he was in Anhui Province, more than 60 people were arrested because of years of famine. After interrogation, he knew that it was only some hungry people who stole grain. He was deeply sympathetic and did not pursue them.

Chen Da Shou's work is unusual. In famine, the government banned merchants and hoarding, but he did the opposite. Some people blame him, he said: "businessmen store rice, get less profit is scattered, people rely on." At the same time, in the famine years, he advocated "work for relief", funded by the imperial court, soliciting the common people to build cities, build houses, dredge ditches, and strengthen embankments, which can help the common people to tide over the famine and benefit public welfare. When it comes to engineering construction, others try every means to save money. However, he attaches great importance to quality and does not casually save money. He says, "it's bad to save labor, but it's better to repair it in another day. It's not better to save money than it is now."

Thanks to his careful management, millions of farmers in the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers were able to feed the hungry and bury the dead. This was rare among the feudal officials at that time. He attached great importance to the development of agricultural production. In Anhui Province, renshang promoted a drought tolerant and yield increasing rice variety.

Chen attaches great importance to Taiwan's role as a national gateway. In the past, Taiwan had the task of collecting grain every year to transport grain to the mainland. Because Taiwan was relatively poor, it was often in arrears. Later, it developed into a long-term and large amount of arrears. When he was the governor of Fujian, he thought that Taiwan was the pan Ping of Fujian. Once he used troops, the transportation of grain and grass would be difficult. For the sake of national security, he went to the imperial court, which not only relieved Taiwan of its accumulated debts over the years, but also made every effort to increase its reserves of more than 400000 stones.

Chen Da Shou is a man who dares to adhere to principles and act boldly. He never cares about personal gains and losses. He once said, "there are many experiences and clear interests, and the victims are here." Fang Bao, a writer of the Qing Dynasty, thinks that this is a famous saying: "it can be a medicine stone for mediocre people.".

Chen was greatly praised by Emperor Qianlong for being a prime minister and compassionate to the people. He worked as an office official and loved the people. Wherever he went, he built water conservancy projects and provided relief to the victims. The people benefited from them. He was selfless and incorruptible. He was praised as "cherishing the people" (he cried for the suffering of the people when he was Prime Minister) and "Qing Festival" prime minister. He was an important Minister of the Dynasty and a famous Prime Minister of the generation. It is admired by the world. In the winter of the 12th year of Qianlong, Chen was promoted to minister of the Ministry of war. In the 13th year, he was the chief examinee, and transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs. In the Xia Dynasty, he was the assistant Bachelor of the military aircraft department. He was a teacher of the emperor. In autumn, the Minister of the Department of household photography. At this time, he was using troops against Jinchuan. His military was like weaving. Chen was summoned day and night to discuss state affairs. After pingjinchuan, he became governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Qianlong 16 years (1751) tired into illness, died in Guangdong and Guangxi governor office. His military merit was increased by three levels, and his posthumous title was Wen su. There is Chen Wensu's Memorial.

Anecdotes

Chen was poor when he was young, and his father was a tenant farmer. There are businessmen of the same race who often go out to sell fish and have a lot of books at home. Chen dasheu looks after his home and uses it to read books.

Chen dachuo was born in a poor family, so he knew the sufferings of the common people. When he was governor of Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, he was in a famine and had no grain. The common people ate locust leaves and Guanyin soil. He worked hard to help the people through the famine by opening official warehouses, loaning cooperative grain, purchasing grain from other provinces, and blocking grain crops. When he was in Anhui Province, more than 60 people were arrested because of the rise of famine thieves. After interrogation, all of them were hungry people. He expressed deep sympathy and released them all. He attached great importance to agricultural production and promoted a drought tolerant rice in Anhui Province.

Chen is far sighted and unconventional. Some people blame the merchants for hoarding rice when they are in famine. He said: "when the merchants store rice, they will get less profit, and the people will depend on it.". He also advocated "work for relief", which was funded by the imperial court to attract the people to build cities, build houses, dredge ditches and reinforce embankments, which not only helped the people to tide over the famine, but also was conducive to public welfare. He pays attention to the quality of engineering construction and does not save money casually. He often says, "it is bad to save labor and labor, and it is better to repair it in another day. It is not appropriate to save money in the present for a hundred years.". He managed with great care and made outstanding achievements, which enabled millions of farmers in the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers to have enough food for the hungry and bury the dead, which was rare among the frontier ministers at that time.

In the tenth year of Qianlong reign (1745), Chen Da, the governor of Jiangsu Province, was instructed by Yuanhe county school and Wu Zhongheng rebuilt Ziyang Academy. "Please rent eight liang of silver in the field for the worship of Zhu Zi in the Academy, and take Zhang Qingke and Gao Wenliang as examples.".

When Chen Da was appointed governor of Fujian Province, it was customary for Taiwan to transport grain to the mainland every year. For the sake of national security, he went to the imperial court to avoid the accumulated debts over the years. He believed that Taiwan was a vassal of Fujian Province, and once the army was used, the transportation of grain and grass would be difficult, so he tried every means to increase the storage of 400000 stones.

Chen Dazhou, regardless of his own gains and losses, once said, "there are many things to do, but the interests are clear. The victims are here." Fang Bao, a litterateur in Qing Dynasty, thinks that this is a famous saying, "it can be used as a medicine for mediocrity". Chen Da shou (1702-1751), a native of Qiyang, Hunan Province, was a minister of the Qing Dynasty. Young Chen Min, the beginning of teaching, that is, to retreat from its instrument. He is long and poor, and works hard at the foot of the mountain. Those who fish in the same house go out to fish at night to wait for the door and study constantly. In the 11th year of Yongzheng reign, the Jinshi in the middle of the reign of Emperor Yongzheng elected the shujishi.

Lu, Feng and Ying houses were often robbed, and some of them were forbidden to hide. They were severely punished. They were robbed for 50 generations every month and were praised for their beauty. Huainan and Beigai were hungry and sent granary to relieve them. The valley is exhausted, followed by wheat. It was also sold to Jiangnan and Guangdong, where it was developed and stored.

Hao Yulin, the former governor of Anxi County, obtained its seed, and made great achievements in teaching the people to try it. As a result of the order, some departments bought more and distributed them to various states and counties, so that the people could plant according to the land. After hearing about it, the Oracle said, "I am very relieved that you are so careful."
