Hu Linyi was an official all his life, honest and upright, advocating honesty, restraining extravagance and being honest and upright. No matter what the circumstances, he can work hard and be meticulous.
He said: the importance of being close to the people lies in loving the people. Even the foolish husband and wife should visit them in person. All people in the world are equal, and officials will not be cheap because they are close to the people, nor will they be expensive because they are sparse.
From 65438 to 0846, Hu Linyi was sent to Guizhou as a magistrate. Before leaving, he knelt in front of his ancestral grave and vowed never to embarrass his predecessors with a penny of fat again.
Guizhou is a poor place: uneven land and uneven people. On Hu Linyi's first day in office, the chiefs killed a pig and a sheep and greeted him as a magistrate with the most solemn etiquette of the Miao family, while Hu Linyi called the neighbors and beggars along the street and invited them to sit down.
The leaders are a little depressed. Hu Linyi said earnestly: I'm not here to eat meat, I'm here to do something. I share your joys and sorrows. The chief and the people were moved to tears by his words.
When Hu Linyi was the first magistrate of Anshun, he went in and out of the ravine, visited the poor and asked questions, and made social investigations. He drew hundreds of maps by himself, and he knew all about the rich and the poor.
Through investigation and study, he made clear the thinking of governing Anshun: first, organize the children of the people to study and set up schools; The second is to treat bandits and organize people to jointly safeguard social order; Third, encourage production and actively develop local economy.
He set an example. He personally led the officers and men to fight bandits hundreds of times, wiped them out and created a stable environment for people's production and life.
He advocated that it is better to use soldiers than civilians. Fighting can only cure the symptoms, and what you receive is a temporary result. Employing people is the fundamental reason and enjoys long-term stability. While using the people, we should love them, safeguard their interests wholeheartedly and think for them everywhere. Hu Linyi has successively formulated measures to protect the Miao people in Anshun, Zhenyuan and Liping.
Anyone who practices bravery and the officers and men rob livestock and property of Liangmiao Temple will be beheaded. Miao people who capture bandits and deliver them to the government will be rewarded.
Hu Linyi has been an official in Guizhou for eight years and has been living a poor life with few friends. The money in the vault has never been touched once or twice. He would rather borrow money to live on credit than enrich himself with public funds. When Ren Liping was the magistrate, the economic difficulties in the yamen were so great that even the family couldn't help it, and six or seven people all ran away.
Hu Linyi believes that civil strife must be the greed of officials, and the root of civil strife is not the people, but the corruption of officials. Therefore, he not only pays attention to his own ethics, but also attaches great importance to the management of officials and resolutely punishes corrupt officials without mercy.
