Yu Chenglong, young, studious, ambitious and well-educated. He is straightforward, unsmiling, intelligent and diligent.
In the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, he went to a remote place as a county magistrate. Luocheng county was only ruled by the Qing dynasty for about two years, and the political situation was unstable. When Yu Chenglong arrived in Luocheng, the county was full of weeds, with only a few families. Even the county * * * has only two or three huts, and the conditions are simply indescribable.
Yu Chenglong can only stay in Guandi Temple. He made a table out of mud in the yard and squatted on the ground to eat. Most of the servants who came with him died of illness, and a few who survived left him, leaving only Yu Chenglong himself. In order to save food, even eat only once a day. But under such difficult conditions, Yu Chenglong still kept on working and fulfilled his duties.
Yu Chenglong is not only clean, but also capable. Because Luocheng is poor, theft happens from time to time. In this regard, Yu Chenglong did not simply destroy them, but influenced them with his own feelings, and achieved good results. In agricultural production, the hard-working person has been rewarded, worked harder and the people are very supportive of him.
When Yu Chenglong was an official in Sichuan, because the local area had just experienced war and the people were living in poverty, he reduced the expenses of servants, because these expenses were borne by the local people at that time. When he was working in Wuchang, his son came all the way from his hometown to see him, but he had a meal of green vegetables and tofu. When his son left, he had nothing else to take home. There happened to be a salted duck, so I asked my son to take half a duck home.
Yu Chenglong has been an official for more than 20 years. He is an official alone, never bringing his family, and has been separated from his wife for more than 20 years. Regardless of the size of the official position, he began to adhere to honesty, based on good governance, and won the hearts of the people. Yu Chenglong once said: "I have no other hobbies. As long as I have clothes, vegetables and food, I can avoid hunger and cold." He not only said so, but also did so.
There are frequent thefts in Huangzhou. As soon as Yu Chenglong arrived in Huangzhou, he made a secret visit to find a solution. Through observation, a policeman named Tang has contact with bandits. The catcher was cautious, but he was an alcoholic, so Yu Chenglong thought of a way.
One day, Yu Chenglong invited guests and said with a smile, "I like drinking, too, but I haven't met anyone who can enjoy it. You are a good drinker. Let's have a drink together sometime. " The catcher nodded in agreement. The two often went out for drinks. After several times, the catcher dropped his guard against Jackie Chan.
Finally, the police talked about his criminal past when he was drunk, and found a register from him, which recorded the situation of bandits in detail. Seeing the revelation, the catcher asked to go home to see his mother before he died. Yu Chenglong dare not let him go back. Later, when he learned that his mother was really still alive, he asked the chief to give him a silver or two.
In the 23rd year of Kangxi, Yu Chenglong died. After death, there is nothing left except shabby clothes and some daily necessities. When people learned of his death, they all secretly cried.
