Li Fu (1673-1750), courtesy name Julai, nicknamed Mutang, was born in Rongshan Town, Linchuan, Jiangxi. After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, he served successively as ministers of the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties, which was one of the few in the Qing Dynasty. Li Fu was able to stand in the officialdom for a long time without being defeated. Apart from his hard work and outstanding achievements, the important reason was that he was upright, upright, honest and honest, and his political opponents were never harsh, and the emperor always used him to serve the country.

"Qingyun" is determined
When Li Fu was 20 years old, he passed the examination as a scholar, but after that he failed in the imperial examinations many times, which was caused by some officials. Therefore, Li Fu is determined to continue to learn and be a strong and upright man. Li Fu paid attention to learning from the sages. In his spare time during the Jiangxi provincial capital examination, Li Fu deliberately visited the "Plum Immortal Temple" of Qingyunpu, a famous scenic spot in Yuzhang. Meixian was Meifu, the county captain of Nanchang County in the Western Han Dynasty. Mayfow was of noble character during his tenure, and won the admiration of future generations. Facing Meixian, Li Fu was full of emotion, and wrote the poem "Qingyunpu Baimeixian Temple" to express his own wishes. The poem is:
Mr. Ziling's wife, Wen, is an official less important than Wu Menxu.
The ice is clear and the jade is so smooth, like this blue cloud, it must be attached.
In ancient times, it has been difficult for officials to gain strengths, and it has been overcast and rainy.
If you want to share who you want to get together with, what a pure heart, this place is really a cloud spectrum!
The first four sentences of the poem praise Mei Fu and Yan Guang (Zi Ling) as good officials who are pure and smooth, and the last four sentences express the determination to form a sincere heart with the former sages, not to pay attention to fame and fortune, but to emphasize integrity. In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi (1708), Li Fu was the first Jieyuan in the Jiangxi Province Provincial Examination of High School, and Lianjie became a Jinshi the following year.
bumpy career
Li Fu was a Jinshi and later selected as a Shuji scholar of the Imperial Academy. After some training, he successively served as a minister in the 5 departments of rites, officials, soldiers, workers, and households. He also served as governor of Guangxi and governor of Zhili. But Li Fu's official career was not smooth sailing, during which he experienced 4 major setbacks. However, no matter what position he was in, Li Fu had made outstanding political achievements and was highly praised by the emperor and the people.
In the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi (1720), Li Fu was promoted to a cabinet bachelor, and changed to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the left deputy capital censor. In the following year, he served as the deputy examiner of the examination. On the day when the ranking was released, the sky was covered with smog. Emperor Kangxi thought that "this examination either selected mediocre talents or left out talents, so that he was full of resentment" and ordered to re-read the test paper. When the unsuccessful judge learned of this, he gathered a crowd at the door of Li Fu's house to make trouble, and the censor with ulterior motives also heard the news and impeached Li Fu. Li Fu was dismissed and assigned to work at the Yongdinghe construction site. Li Fu was obviously wronged, but he did not blame others, and wrote poems expressing his ambitions, saying that "I only know that state affairs are like family affairs, and dare to complain about the clean flow and the dirty flow", and he will continue to share the country's worries.
In the first month of 1723, Yongzheng ascended the throne and called Li Fu back to Beijing to serve as the right servant of the Ministry of Officials. At that time, the son of General Nian Gengyao wanted to build a barracks. As usual, he should be given priority. Li Fu insisted on the principle and acted according to the rules, and refused to give preferential treatment. As a result, Nian Gengyao was jealous and kept playing, but Yongzheng had no choice but to change Li Fu to be an official lecturer on Jingyan Day.
In July of the same year, Li Fu served as the right servant of the Ministry of War. In September, Li Fu was ordered to urge the transportation of grain. According to the actual situation, he escorted the grain from Hunan and other places to Tianjin, and sold the stored grain according to the decree, with a profit of 5,000 taels of silver. Yongzheng personally wrote the four characters "Fengguo exhausted his heart" and praised it.
In April of the following year, Li Fu was appointed governor of Guangxi. On the one hand, he conducted in-depth investigations and adopted methods of both grace and power to quell the struggles and vendettas between ethnic minorities in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, and stabilize the society; .
Li Fu's "Please accommodate and stop the levy"
In August of the third year of Yongzheng, Li Fu was appointed governor of Zhili. In March of the fourth year of Yongzheng, there was a flood in the suburbs of Beijing. Li Fu decisively ordered all states and counties to open warehouses for disaster relief, and then wrote a letter to plead guilty. Yongzheng believed that he did the right thing and exempted him from punishment. Later, Li Fu impeached Tian Wenjing, the governor of Henan Province, for his crimes of running rampant in the countryside, corrupting the law, and harming the people. Tian Wenjing continued to submit memorials, slandering Li Fu for protecting private parties, and proposed 21 crimes. Li Fu was dismissed and handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation. In prison, Li Fu went to the execution ground twice to accompany him to be executed. He won praises without changing his face or beating his heart. His fellow prisoners said he was a tough man. The Ministry of Punishment searched Li Fu's family property and found that the interior was shabby, and even his wife's jewelry was made of copper. Only then did Emperor Yongzheng believe in Li Fu's integrity, pardoned him, and ordered him to compile the "Tongzhi of the Eight Banners".
Zehui Hometown
Although Li Fu has been an official abroad for a long time, whenever he has the opportunity, he will do good things for his hometown and do practical things. In order to commemorate Li Fu, the people in his hometown changed the original Tang Ancient Temple Street on the west side of Shitiao Street in Fuzhou City to Mutang Road in 1933.
During Li Fu's tenure as governor of Guangxi, he sent more than a thousand liang of surplus salary and silver back to his hometown Rongshan to build a righteous warehouse and accumulate grain to help the poor. Whenever there is a shortage of crops, the twelfth lunar month of winter, or natural and man-made disasters, warehouses will be opened to help those who lack food and clothing.
In the second year of Qianlong's reign (1737), Li Fu returned to his hometown to keep his mother's filial piety. He and the county magistrate Li Tingyou jointly donated money to establish "Qingyun Academy", making positive contributions to the development of education in his hometown. Li Fu also presided over the teaching in person, and celebrities gathered there for a while. After retiring and returning to his hometown, Li Fu, regardless of his advanced age, served as the head of the Xinglu Academy (that is, the principal) and gave lectures in person. Li Fu took the cultivation of talents as his own responsibility, which greatly revived the style of study in "Talent Township" education. In the eighth year of Qianlong's reign, he returned to his hometown due to illness, and lived in Shizhiyuan, Shangqiao Temple (now Jinglu Road Street Office) in Fuzhou City.
Li Fu has profound knowledge and is good at poetry and prose. Wang Shizhen, the leader of the contemporary poetry circle and a famous scholar, once praised Li Fu for his "endowment of ten thousand husbands". Li Fu wrote many works throughout his life, mainly including "Spring and Autumn", "Lu Zixuepu", "Comprehensive Theory of Zhu Zi's Later Years" and "Mu Tang Lei Manuscripts, Continued Manuscripts, Other Manuscripts", etc. He also majored in "Eight Banners Tongzhi", " Guangxi Tongzhi", "Tingzhou Fuzhi" and "Linchuan County Chronicles".
