Li Wei and Zhu Yicheng are very familiar with this person's name. There are many TV series about Li Wei in later generations, especially the TV series Li Wei who was an official starring brother Shan Zheng was even more popular. Zhu Yicheng also followed his parents who watched the show for a few episodes.

Li Wei in the film is bold and meticulous, and by chance he was valued by Yongzheng. He then became a high-ranking official and left his name in history. Of course, the content of the TV series is a joke, which is definitely different from real history. However, Li Wei does exist, and it is certain that he is a famous minister in the Yongzheng Dynasty. Zhu Yicheng searched for this after watching the TV series back then.

But time has passed a long time, and Zhu Yicheng has long been confused about Li Wei's experience. He only remembers that he is from Xuzhou, and he can't remember anything else.

If you look closely at this person's resume, the Li Wei family in the list says Fengxian. Fengxian used to belong to Fengyang Prefecture and was assigned to Xuzhou during the Qing Dynasty. Now Xuzhou and Fengyang have both fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, but the administrative division has not yet been adjusted.

Li Wei is not old, only in his thirties, and his family is relatively wealthy. The Li family is a local rich family.

The Li family is also a businessman in the land management. Some years ago, someone went to the south to do business. Li Wei worked in business with his elders, and worked as a second shopkeeper in the family store for a while, and even went to Nanjing.

This is actually a very common thing now. After the Ming Dynasty restored the country and opened trades, there were many northern businessmen who went to the south to do business. With the changes in strength between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, especially after the Ming Dynasty occupied Beijing, more and more businessmen came to the south to look for opportunities.

Even when the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty fought the most fiercely in the Central Plains, the business circles in the north and south did not interrupt their communication, just like the Li family. Although Fengxian was in the control area of ​​the Qing army at that time, the Li family was still doing business with the Ming Dynasty, not only in the south, but also in the north. The Li family built channels in Zhili through their relationship, and the business was booming.

When the Central Plains War began from the beginning of Jiangbei, the Li family knew that the Qing Dynasty's rule in the Central Plains could no longer continue. In order to find a way out for the family, the Li family secretly surrendered to the Ming Dynasty through the channels of business accumulation, and then made some efforts for the Ming army to advance north and go south.

Jiangbei recovered, and then took Fengyang. After Fengyang was about to stop Xuzhou, Xuzhou naturally could not hold on. After the Qing army in Shandong retreated from Xuzhou west, the Li family, as a local family, contacted the Ming army as soon as possible, and then assisted the Ming army in successfully captured Fengxian.

After Fengxian County was restored, the Li family naturally needed commendation. At this time, Zhu Yicheng remembered that he had approved local clans and merchants who had contributed to the Ming Dynasty in various battlefields of the Central Plains War. Some of these people were also granted the title of civil title. As for what happened to civil titles, there was an introduction before. Civil titles are not formal titles, but they also have the privilege of some official titles. More importantly, after obtaining civil titles, their titles have the titles that can be recommended as officials.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty's official position was not as valuable as the Qing Dynasty's official position. Although the Ming Dynasty has now lifted restrictions on the two levels of officials, that is, officials are no longer able to pass on from father to son as before, and they will be a lifetime of officials.

One of Zhu Yicheng's reform of the official system was to break this boundary, cancel the rule that one should not be an official, and open up the invisible boundary that always exists between officials. However, the Ming Dynasty strictly prohibited the operation of donating officials, and also eliminated the way to spend money to buy officials. There are only three ways to become an official, and the first is naturally the imperial examination. The imperial examination includes civil and military examinations. Whether it is civil and military officers, they rely on their own abilities. As long as they pass the imperial examination, they will be qualified to be an official.

The second way is to select from officials, which is also a disguised talent promotion mechanism. After breaking the boundaries, it can give officials the promotion channel to become an official body, and it can also completely solve the vicious circle of officials who have been beaten by officials in history.

As for the third way, it is recommended, but this method has limitations compared to the first two. First, the recommender needs a certain status, at least he has a civil title, and secondly, the recommended person needs to be reviewed by relevant departments of the court. Finally, when he is awarded an official position, he is often not given a real position. Generally, he is a false position of the eighth or nine rank, and stays in the relevant yamen for a period of time, and then makes arrangements after evaluating his ability.

This method is similar to the probation period for later generations. Moreover, once the assessment is not qualified, the official position of the recommended person will be retracted accordingly. As for the previous recommended quota, it will be cancelled, which will also avoid the situation of filling in the gaps.

Li Wei was an official who recommended him. After the Li family was awarded a title, the quota fell on Li Wei. Originally, according to Li Wei's status in the Li family, the Li family naturally wanted to train him into the successor of the family and take over the Li family business after the old man stepped down.

But Li Wei was not interested in doing business, and he was even more unhappy to stay in his hometown. He was restless since childhood and was restless, thinking about becoming an official. The old man at home could not stand his grinding, so he finally gave this place to Li Wei. As a result, Li Wei transformed from the eldest son of the Li family to the county chief clerk.

As the chief clerk, according to the Ming system, locals must not be able to be officials in the local area, so Li Wei was transferred to Luoyuan County. I don’t know if he was lucky or bad. A few days after arriving in Luoyuan County, Li Wei had not yet figured out how many city gates there were in this county, and the Fujian case broke out.

As soon as the Fujian case was discovered, Fuzhou was the center, and countless officials were dismissed from Fujian. Luoyuan County belonged to Fuzhou Prefecture, so it was inevitable that from the county magistrate to the county magistrate, to the Dianjie and the yamen runners below, they were almost all caught in one fell swoop. In a blink of an eye, only Li Wei, who had just taken office, and two or three kittens and dogs below were left in the entire county yamen.

The entire county team was almost wiped out, and the largest official in Luoyuan County was Li Wei. In this case, Li Wei had no choice but to take the lead in taking over the governance of Luoyuan County and the extension of corruption cases.

Li Wei, who had no knowledge of the situation in the county and had no capable people around him, could be said to have a dark look on his face. However, although Li Wei was born in a wealthy family and had a bit of a playboy, he had a resilience. In addition, Li Wei was smart, smart and brave. The first thing he did after taking over the county government was to recruit his subordinates to enrich his team.

Li Wei has been following his elders since he was a child. Li Wei has rich experience in the martial arts world. In Luoyuan County, he soon found out who the famous local gangsters were, and then went to visit him in person. I don’t know what method he used. On the first day of the meeting, he called him brothers and fought with him. Then the "leading brother" became Li Wei’s younger brother. As for those gangsters who were not doing their jobs but did not make any big mistakes on weekdays, they all turned into Li Wei’s subordinates.

Relying on these people, Li Wei took two days to calm the turmoil in Luoyuan County and calmed Luoyuan County, which was imaged by the case. Subsequently, while governing the county, Li Wei assisted Shangguan in digging and investigating the corruption case. At this time, the people he used also played a role. He collected a lot of iron evidence in less than a long time, thus receiving praise from the above.

Next, Li Wei was directly seconded to Fuzhou because of his outstanding work in Luoyuan County. After arriving in Fuzhou, he once again demonstrated his natural ability to handle cases and made great contributions to the Fujian case.
