They all took the merchants first, and then If you ask for a ultimatum, you will receive money. If you don't have a small city, you will starve to death in less than thirty years.

Wu Wuling is from Xinzhou. In the early years of Yuanhe, he passed the Jinshi examination. Wu Shaoyang from Huaixi heard about his talent and sent his disciple Zheng Ping to invite him. He wanted to treat him as a guest and friend, but Wu Wuling did not respond. In the early years of Changqing, Dou Yizhi was in charge of financial expenditures as the Minister of Household Affairs. Wu Wuling was in charge of the salt affairs in the north. Dou Yizhi thought he was incompetent and reduced his treatment. Later, when he met Dou Yi, he went directly to the table and asked him to set up the post of reserve envoy. He should choose a doctor to take the position. Wu Wuling

Jin Jian said: "Now the border areas are all fertile, but they are overgrown with miscellaneous trees, and my parents and wives cannot feed them. I used to be in the north and was in charge of the rice price of forty (the unit is not clear) ), there is no way to save food for more than a month, so I first get rice from merchants, and then ask to go back to Kyoto to get money according to the account. If there are bandits attacking the city, it will take less than thirty days. , people in the city will starve to death, and where can we ask for money, why should the government provide money to buy food from the people? If the world is not managed, it is because the department that should be in charge does not have the power to manage the iron industry. Mining and financial expenses can be handled by an official from the Ministry of Revenue. Now the matter is divided into three parts. There are tens of thousands of officials, and the wealth of the officials in the northwest frontier is shrinking day by day.

They are all censors and censors. If Yuan Wai Lang was trustworthy when he first ordered them, and now more envoys are sent to manage their work, it means that although Yu Shi and Yuan Wai Lang have been working for a long time, they are no longer trustworthy after ten days or so. A month later, the doctor's actions will be deemed untrustworthy. A quarter or a year later, your actions will become untrustworthy again. The top and bottom will interfere with each other, and there will be mutual suspicion within the country. Is he a trustworthy person? Kuang sent an envoy with about a hundred people to supervise and call, and there was no peace for thousands of miles. If he really wanted to make the border rich and prosperous, he only needed to recruit people. Dou Yizhi did not accept the idea of ​​moving idlers and sending sinners to fertile lands. How could we increase the number of envoys and officials? A long time later, he entered the imperial court and served as a doctor of imperial studies. In the early years of Yamato, Cui Yan, the minister of rites, went to Dongdu to take the Jinshi examination.

Wu Wuling asked until the fifth time, but Cui Yan didn't answer.

When Liu Zongyuan was appointed governor of Liuzhou, Wu Wuling returned to the north and was highly regarded by Pei Du.

Wu Wuling often mentioned that Liu Zongyuan was childless, and persuaded Pei Du:

Classical Chinese: Translation of "New Book of Tang·Cui Ying Biography"

Cui Yun, with his courtesy name Guanglue, was tall and handsome. People admired him from afar but did not dare to get close to him.

Cui Yu passed the Jinshi examination and filled the vacancy as Jixian School Secretary. After being promoted several times, he became a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. His subordinates did not dare to deceive him. Every time officials are selected, they personally control the standards and tests, and the officials must be praised and demoted appropriately. No matter whether they are from poor backgrounds or live in remote places, talents will not be missed.

After being promoted several times, he served as an admonishment official. When Mu Zong ascended the throne, he neglected government affairs, indulged in hunting, indulged in drinking and debauchery in the palace, and was unable to go to court to handle government affairs at dawn.

Cui Yanjin remonstrated and said: "With the merits of the eleven generations of emperors, we have a vast territory and a large number of people. Whether the world is stable or chaotic, all depends on your majesty. From Mount Wei to the east There are hundreds of cities covering thousands of miles. We just gained them yesterday and lost them today.

Looking west to the enemy camp, we are only ten houses away from the ancestral temple. The people are haggard and have no savings. I hope your majesty will handle the political affairs personally. It makes everyone in the world lucky."

Mu Zong was very moved and expressed his gratitude, and promoted him to give to Shizhong. Jingzong succeeded to the throne and appointed him as a scholar of the Imperial Academy. Soon after, he was promoted to a scholar of Zhongshushe. He entered the palace to express his gratitude and said: "Your Majesty appointed me as a scholar of the Imperial Academy. It has been half a year since I asked him about the meaning of the classics."

My servant has no merit and cannot match the emperor's kindness (I'm sorry for the emperor's kindness)." Jingzong said with shame, "I will definitely ask you for advice soon."

Gao Yi happened to be nearby. , took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty is willing to do good but did not consult anything. In this way, people in the world will not know that you have the intention to respect Confucianism." Jingzong blamed himself and apologized, and gave them brocade and property.

Cui Yan and Gao Zhong compiled the main remarks in the "Six Classics" into ten chapters by category and presented them to the emperor so that the emperor could read and think. Cui Yu was promoted to Minister of Rites, and later went out of Beijing to serve as the observation envoy of Guozhou.

Previously, when there was a shortage of property for the imperial court, officials were deprived of their salaries to finance the donation, which amounted to about 800,000 yuan a year. Cui Yu said: "If an official cannot provide for himself and his family, how can he have the energy to provide for the people? If I can't manage the place well by myself, how can I make myself rich?" He used the daily expenses of the government to replace the shortfall.

The emperor also issued an order to transport the collected grain to Taicang, which amounted to tens of thousands of dans a year. The people were struggling with transportation and had to use cars to transport the grain to the river. Cui Yu set up granaries on the tributaries of the river to collect grain, and built channels to load grain into water transport ships.

The people are happy and the hardship of transportation is relieved. Cui Yu was appointed as the observer envoy to Ezhou, Yuezhou and other places.

Since the people of Caizhou rebelled, the people of Ezhou and Yuezhou often suffered from wars, and thieves were openly rampant along the Yangtze River and the two lakes. He built armors and weapons, built warships, and pursued them for thousands of miles. Within a year, all the thieves were captured and put down.

He also served as the observation envoy to western Zhejiang and was promoted to the minister of the Ministry of Etiquette of the School. He died in his official position. After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, with the posthumous title of De.

Cui Yan did not save any money. When he had money, he gave it to relatives and friends to help them handle weddings and funerals. He was content at home and did not scold his children, but they were all naturally enlightened.

His house is low-lying, the ground is muddy, and there is no corridor. The guests can only stand outside the house holding umbrellas and wearing wooden clogs. He governed Guozhou with a loose policy and did not whip anyone for a whole month.

When he took office in Ezhou, he imposed severe laws and severe punishments, and no leniency was given to the criminals. Someone asked him why, and he replied: "The land of Shaanxi is barren and the people are poor. I have no time to comfort them, for fear of disturbing them; the land of Hubei is fertile, the people are fierce, and there are barbarian customs mixed in. It cannot be governed without dignity.

So it is said that the most important thing in politics is to know the changes." Everyone who heard this was impressed. 3. Biography of Zhan Caizi by Du Mu Please translate the full text
