Therefore, all sealed memorials handed over to his staff were opened and checked, and approved memorials were signed and released. All unenforceable memorials are sealed and locked in the safe. This not only fully guarantees the quality of the secret drama, but also puts the supervision responsibility into practice. Since then, watching secret plays has become a privilege.
A senior official fled to other places because of bribery. Because Mongolian censors could not arrest him, he arrested his mother and tied her up in the street for public display. When Wang Sicheng saw this scene in the market, he said sadly, "In ancient times, neither the wife nor children of criminals were arrested, let alone their mothers? I really can't bear to see my mother being implicated because my son escaped! " So he ordered his release. The examiner insisted on using her as bait to catch the most important criminal. Wang Si became furious, impeached himself and then stayed at home. After the incident became serious, the department heads led the censors to Wang Sicheng Building to apologize.
A county magistrate heard about the great power of Wang Sicheng. After receiving the notice that Wang Sicheng was going to the county seat, he put on his old clothes and rode out of the city to meet Wang Sicheng. Wang Sicheng noticed his mount and quietly told his entourage: "This man must be a corrupt official!"
Sure enough, the inspection team was blocked as soon as they entered the city gate. Wang Sicheng asked, "Are you going to accuse the magistrate of stealing your horse?" People who do wrong repeatedly say yes. Wang Si ordered the county magistrate to return the horse and punished him. The attendants were surprised and asked Wang Si why he didn't know the Oracle. Wang Sicheng said with a smile, "He deliberately wore shabby clothes to show his incorruptibility, but on the way, he caught the people's high horse. This is called a leopard cannot change his spots! " The followers suddenly realized that they had been persuaded.
Imperial academy (the highest institution of higher learning and educational administration set up by the state, also known as "Imperial College" and "Chinese Studies") suffered a gang fight, and Wang Sicheng was authorized to handle it with full authority. After he found out the truth, he called the students to announce the punishment result: five students who took the lead in the fight were expelled, and all 70 students who participated in the fight were demoted. At the same time, establish an incentive mechanism to upgrade and reward Xueba, and remove all the dross. After this reorganization, a new atmosphere has emerged in imperial academy. Students are more diligent and encourage each other.
One autumn, there was an autumn drought around Beijing, and it didn't rain all winter. It was only in spring that it suffered from the plague of locusts. The people were already hungry, and the Yellow River burst its banks, which made it even worse, causing heavy casualties and making people miserable. Wang Sicheng was very worried, so Shang Shu asked Yuan Shundi to hold a ceremony of "worshiping the gods and offering sacrifices to Hebo". At the same time, the army was urgently mobilized to block the breach of the Yellow River, distribute relief food, and distribute coffins to every flood victim to show the court's love for the people.
The imperial court set up a prison in Tanzhou (now Miyun, Beijing) to let prisoners engage in the heavy work of mining gold and smelting iron. At first, the prison also provided food and clothing for prisoners, but a few years later, because everyone in the prison was exploited and exploited, the supply of prisoners was completely cut off, resulting in more than 30 people starving to death and countless deaths. In order to cover up the truth, prison guards often lie about the length of illness and the number of drug use. Wang Sicheng visited Tanzhou Prison. After learning about these situations, he wrote to suggest to the court that these prisoners were starved to death in prison, which was the responsibility of the prison! It is hoped that the imperial court will immediately enact relevant laws to measure the severity of crimes committed by prison officials by the number of prisoners who died in prison.
In the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, the court ordered the dam river (now the eastern suburb of Beijing) to be dug as a channel for transporting grain. Because of the huge project, "a lady has to carry more than 400 stones every day, and her shoulders are sore and gaunt." After the project is completed, Bahe River will undertake the heavy responsibility of grain transportation. When Wang Sicheng visited the Bahe River, the dam driver and the boatman responsible for maintaining and transporting food were at a loss. There are only 730 people left, and the boatmen are only 1300. These people "run around the clock and still can't give." Wang Sicheng suggested that the imperial court move more than15,000 Mongolians to settle along the Bahe River, so that they can combine work and rest after catching eagles and hunting, assist boatmen and dam workers, and ensure the normal grain transportation of Bahe River.
These three memorials for the benefit of the country and the people were all approved by the imperial court.
During his tenure as local governor, Wang Sicheng was also down-to-earth and achieved remarkable results.
When he was in charge of Henan, he received a platform document from Shaanxi, requesting to dredge the Three Gates of the Yellow River together with Henan and set up a land and water station to go directly to Shaanxi. Wang Sicheng attached great importance to this and immediately led relevant officials to make a field trip. Officials took a dangerous road with trepidation and tried to fabricate lies to prevaricate the court. Wang Sicheng thundered at them: "If we deceive ourselves, how can we blame others?"? What's your attitude towards the imperial court? You wait, I'll see for myself! " The officials had no choice but to follow him on the beach road in the middle of the Yellow River for more than 100 miles, and there was no way to go along the way. Wang Sicheng ordered the horse to walk and climb the vines. Officials are sweating like a pig, but no one dares to complain. After walking 30 miles, Wang Sicheng saw that it was really impassable, so he reported his experiences along the way to the court. After receiving Wang Sicheng's investigation report, the court rejected Shaanxi's proposal to go to Taiwan.
During Wang Si's reign in Hebei, the Cihe River burst its banks and flooded. He called migrant workers to build a dam day and night, and finally stopped the flood. That autumn, the crops got a bumper harvest, and people were full of gratitude and praise for Wang Sicheng.
In Nanpi (now Nanpi County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province), the ancestors planted willows by the Yu He River, and government officials in past dynasties used this to collect taxes, which was called "Liu Ke". More than a decade ago, because the Yellow River burst its banks, all the willows were flooded, but the government still levied taxes, making the people poorer. Wang Sicheng, seeking truth from facts, wrote to the court, demanding exemption from the "Liu Ke" tax.
There are the former residences of Dong Zhongshu and Achyranthes bidentata, famous Confucian scholars in the Western Han Dynasty. Due to years of disrepair, it has long been crumbling. Wang Sicheng invited the imperial court to establish academies and set up professional lecturers in these two places, which was approved by the imperial court.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, many people lost their jobs due to natural and man-made disasters, which triggered social unrest. In order to appease people's hearts, Wang Sicheng, the "named minister" of Yuan Shundi, was responsible for appeasing Hebei, Shandong and Henan, and called local prestigious elders along the way to preach the emperor's kindness. People were so excited that they couldn't help crying. They provided barley, wheat and peas and asked Wang Si to transport them to Yuan Shundi. After returning to Beijing, according to the problems found in the process of the governor, he put forward seven suggestions to Yuan Shundi, which was valued by Yuan Shundi.
