The Story of the Yiqian Prefect

Liu Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was the leader of the Qi Dynasty Descendants of Liu Fei, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Fei, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Chong held many official positions, large and small, during the two dynasties of Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Ling of Han. Until the second year of Jianning, he was dismissed from his post because of the solar eclipse policy and returned to his hometown. Although his highest official position was to be a minister, he had no money to make and his family had no goods. Finally, he died at home due to old illness.

When Liu Chong was serving as the prefect of Kuaiji County (now Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province), he had outstanding political achievements and integrity. The imperial court appointed him as a general master craftsman (an official in charge of engineering construction). Before he left office, five or six gray-haired old men from Ruoye Valley, Shanyin County, Kuaiji County each brought one hundred penny (i.e. one hundred copper coins) and wanted to give it to him, but Liu Chong refused to accept it.

The old people shed tears and said to Liu Chong: "We are small people in the valley. The former county governor repeatedly disturbed the people, even at night. Sometimes the dogs barked all night, and the people were uneasy. But. Since you took office, dogs have stopped barking at night, and officials have stopped arresting people. Now that we hear that you are leaving office, we give you this small sum of money to show your appreciation." Liu Chong said, "My. The political performance is far from as good as what some old men said, but it's a big thank you to my father!" The old people insisted on accepting it, but they were so kind that Liu Chong had no choice but to accept a penny from each of them.

As soon as he left the border of Shanyin County, he threw the money into the river. Later generations renamed the river "Qianqing River" and built "Yiqian Pavilion" and "Yiqian Prefecture Temple" in Qianqing Town. From then on, the reputation of "One Money Prefect" spread in the local area.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Shuneng participated in politics and passed by the prefect's temple. He wrote a poem: "Liu Chong's reputation has been passed down all over the world, and his temple is still on the riverside. Recently, those who have many talents in official career also learn from the teacher to make big money." Praise.

Later, he served as a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, and then moved from the central government to the local Shaoxing as a prefect. His governance methods were quite lenient. Later, he was framed by Prime Minister Zhang Cong and Gui E, the head of the Ministry of Punishment, for reviewing the case, and was transferred back to the capital.

Before leaving, the people of Shaoxing Prefecture were filled with cries. People rushed to give gifts, but Huang Wan only accepted two copper coins from each person. This is so similar to Liu Chong! But unfortunately, after Huang Wan arrived in Beijing, he was thrown into prison and died of illness in prison. In the early years of Longqing reign of Emperor Mu Zong of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Wan was posthumously granted the title of Taichang Shaoqing.
