Li Jue in Li Jue's Being an Official is the image of a local ruffian and hooligan. Is Li Jue really a beggar in history?

Li Wei is not like a gangster in TV series, and Li in history is also very rich. Li Wei, a native of Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, was born in the 26th year of Kangxi. When I was young, I didn't like reading and had no culture. Later, I did not become famous. Finally, I can be an official or buy it home.

It was normal to buy officials in ancient times, and they could be bought as early as the Han Dynasty. The Qing dynasty formed a fixed donation system, which was also an important way to be an official outside the imperial examination. Of course, this does not mean that you can be an official if you have money, and you can buy any official you want, but set a series of standards. Can only buy some fake jobs, no real power.

The Qing dynasty also admired the imperial examination system, and most people who paid for it were unpopular. Buying officials is also an official addiction. Li Wei's family can pay him to buy an official, which shows that his family conditions are OK. However, when Li Wei met Yongzheng, he got a chance to display his talents.

There are two criteria for selecting officials in Yongzheng. The first is hard work, and the second is incorruptibility. Li Jue donated only one foreign minister in the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi. He seems to do things in an eclectic way, so he was appreciated by Yongzheng, and Li Wei's career was smooth sailing. In the second year of Yongzheng, he was promoted to be the minister in charge of money, grain, tax and salt affairs in a province, and in the third year of Yongzheng, he was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang.

Because of Li Jue's outstanding achievements during his tenure, Yongzheng once called Li Jue a model. Li Jue, who donated his body, made such achievements that it was unique in the whole Qing Dynasty. However, Li Jue, who had a smooth sailing in Yongzheng period, began to be rejected in Qianlong period. Ganlong ignored him. After three years in Qianlong, Li Wei died of depression at the age of 5 1.
