He, whose real name is Tong Shu, is from Zhejiang. In the 60th year of Kangxi, he was elected Foreign Minister of the Ministry of War. I am diligent in my post and will not leave the office for a month. In the first year of Yongzheng, he moved to Youjiang Road, Guangxi, and the Ministry let him live for one year. Sejong ordered him to stay and be promoted, giving people spears and minks. Shi Jian paid a lot of money to enforce the law, took care of important people, and stayed in the Ministry because of false accusation. Li Mi, assistant minister, said at length, "This Cao is worthless. Talented people are particularly tired. If it is in Goude County, we must strive for it. How do you supervise the company? " After the expiration, please stay in office and add the rank of Deputy Minister of Inspection Department. The company's sparse performance is beyond its control, and those that are not easy to handle are also appointed at the same time.
For three years, he served as the assistant envoy of Yan Dao in Jiangnan, was called to the right, encouraged each other with integrity, gave people a scorpion and mink skin, and promised to tell things. In four years, he was transferred to Guangdong Grain Post Road. /kloc-at the age of 0/8, Shi insisted on paying 50,000 meters, and the levy was postponed. Or if you doubt that you are good at it, Shi Jian said, "Please do it first, then do it. The people have suffered! " Governor Kong and Governor Yang Wengan couldn't compare with each other, so they tried their best to help with salt. Wen Gan has the suspicion of Xun Yu Party, and if he wants to buy copper, he will be tired and sleepy. Next year, Wengan is going to make a pilgrimage. It is obvious that Xun Yu played the bomb and Shi Jian, but Shi Jian is not Xun Yu. At the request of the court, Xun Yu expressed doubts about the teacher's frugality. Wen Gan died and was illegally exploited by Shi Jian, eroding the copper price. Over the years, the governor's office has known about it. Knowing that he was innocent, he ordered him to go to Georgia, Shaanxi Province to get supplies.
Shi Jian is in the Ministry of War, knowing the situation all around and the urgency of the war. After arriving in Liangzhou, the discussion of each episode was as usual, and Chief Inspector A Lang was deeply impressed. Liangzhuang Daobu participates in politics. After studying in Liangzhou, I went to Suzhou for reimbursement. The two roads are far away, and the teacher Jian gave it to Liangzhou, and there was no shortage of teachers. One day, after the feather books are counted, the teacher will take care of the soldiers and wait for them. It's already true. Suzhou division will do it, fly to intercept public and private mules and horses, and the officials and the people will be emperors. Shi Jian said: "If officials and businessmen go to the Soviet Union, it is inappropriate for the army to leave goods on the ground. If there is no regular suppression, why not listen to it, release it and serve it? Getting people and goods before the army also saves the trouble of giving them away, which is beneficial to both sides. Although I am very strict, I will do it myself. " So officials and businessmen are safe and the military is correct.
Looking for the special envoy assistant of Xi 'an Salt Post Road. During the drought in Guanzhong, Zhaohu Guangmi Wanshi was transported from Longzhu Village in Shangzhou to Shaanxi. The teacher thrived under the service of Dong Qi, but before the half-time, the heavy rain rose, and there were few mules and horses, which was not enough for transshipment. There is no place for business in the mountains, and the ship is unlucky if the water passes through the second pass. Teacher Jane will board the boat at Qiugu, please stop the boat, people are in dire straits. The army is short of horses, so we have to ride post horses. Shi Jian said, "Sending a life is like human blood, and it is not wasted in a day." Refuse and go to bed.
The judge said that the number of suspected prisons was flat. Officials who have committed the crime of entering the country should be dealt with according to law, although they are virtuous. Thirteen years, begging for rest with eye diseases. The emperor acceded to the throne, pardoned it, and was blind, so that hundreds of officials recited the case and listened to it. Please pardon the code, make it stand and then go to Chen. Stay for two months until you finish your work. After his death at home, he was regarded as a famous minister in Shaanxi.

Gresky & Teacher Translation:
He, whose real name is Tong Shu, is from Zhejiang. By donating property, he was elected Foreign Minister of the Ministry of War in the 60th year of Kangxi. He works hard and often stays in the government for several months. In the first year of Yongzheng, he was promoted to minister of Youjiang Road in Guangxi, and the Ministry of War kept him for one year. Emperor Sejong asked him to stay in the Ministry of War and gave him ginseng and mink. He offended dignitaries by strictly forbidding accepting bribes, and was falsely accused of deliberately staying in the Ministry of War to escape the miasma in Guangxi. Li Bi, assistant minister, said, "Why are all the officials in the Ministry worthless and talented people particularly tired? If you can be an official outside, everyone is vying to go, let alone the supervision department? " After the expiration of one year, he requested to remain in office and was awarded the rank of Deputy Minister of the Inspection Department. He wrote all the books and memorials in the department, and other departments sometimes entrusted him to handle some difficult things.
In the third year of Yongzheng, he was appointed as the assistant ambassador of Yan Dao in Jiangnan Post. The emperor called him to meet and talk, encouraged him to keep his conduct, and gave him ginseng and mink, allowing him to write directly to talk about things. In the fourth year of Yongzheng, he was transferred to Guangdong Grain Post Road. That year, there was a great disaster in Guangdong, so why not use the 50 thousand stone rice you saved as emergency food to restrain your officials from temporarily conquering taxes? Some people are worried that they will make mistakes and are sentenced to make decisions without authorization. He Shijian said: "Ask for instructions first and then implement them. The people are in trouble." Governor Kong was hostile to the governor because he tried to win him over as his helper. Wen Yang suspected that Shi Jian was Kong Yuxuan's accomplice, so he bought copper with the intention of getting him into a loss-making predicament. The next year, Yang Wengan went to North Korea to visit the emperor. The emperor showed him the memorial of Kong's impeachment, and he also participated in the impeachment, only to know that he was not flattering Kong. (He recommended) Let He be a provincial judge, and Kong Yuxuan suspected that He had a close relationship with Wen Yang. After Yang Wengan died, Kong Yuxuan impeached why he violated the mining ban and harassed copper prices. The next year, after the acting governor Fu Tailai came, the truth came out. Knowing that he was innocent, the emperor ordered him to go to Shaanxi to help manage munitions.
In the Ministry of War, he is not familiar with the situation and key points in the border areas, the proportion of war and defense, and the priorities of food supply. After arriving in Liangzhou, I used to point fingers at every meeting. Chief inspector A Lang thinks highly of him. Let him participate in politics on behalf of Liangzhuang Road. The army passed through Liangzhou, and the official documents handed down let them go to Suzhou to get their salaries. The distance between the two sides was far, so He Shijian used the money saved in Liangzhou to pay the commissary first, so that the army would not be short of food. One day, the marching documents were circulated several times. He Shijian thought that there must be a new army to mobilize, so he set up an account and waited. It will happen soon. Suzhou Army will pass by here and send an urgent letter, demanding to stop and requisition public and private mules and horses and livestock along the way. Local officials and people are in panic. He said: "All the officials and businessmen on this road are heading for Suzhou. If officials are blocked on the road and goods are lost on the way, it will be detrimental to military operations. It's not normal to March on bandits. Why don't you let them all go to Suzhou first, put down their personnel and materials and then go to the army? The military got personnel and materials, which also saved the trouble of handing over escort and facilitated both sides. Although the documents are strict, I will bear this responsibility. " In this way, officials are very at ease when they travel on official business, and there is no delay in the military.
Soon, He was transferred to Anyan Post Road as an assistant special envoy. During the drought in Guanzhong, he was ordered to send 100 thousand grains of rice from Huguang area from Longzhuzhai, Shangzhou to Shaanxi. He Shi Jian presided over the transportation, but it was not in the middle. Heavy rain, rising rivers, and few mules and horses are enough to supply transportation needs. There is no place for merchants to accumulate grain in the mountains, the waterways are not smooth, and the transport vessels are not complete. He Shijian asked to stop sending food on the grounds that the people would not go hungry when the autumn harvest arrived. At that time, the army was short of horses and issued documents to requisition horses for the post station. He Shijian said: "Setting up a post station is like the blood of a person's body, and it can't be wasted in one day." Rejected the requisition documents, and finally did not implement them.
After he was promoted to judge, he found many difficult cases. If officials deliberately frame others, they will be punished by law, and even those close to powerful people will not indulge themselves for personal gain. In the 13th year of Yongzheng, He Shijian asked for retirement on the grounds of eye diseases. After Emperor Gaozong ascended the throne, he issued an Amnesty order. At that time, He Shijian was blind, so he asked officials to read the documents to himself. When he met a person whose name was on the pardon list, he was immediately released and then reported. Stay for two months and finish your own business before going home. Later, when He died at home, Shaanxi built an ancestral temple for him to commemorate this famous minister.
