Officials who sealed the border in the Qing Dynasty were treated with a bowl of noodles by local officials. Why did they move up two grades?

The name of this government official is Guan Tianpei. The small officials who entertain him will entertain him with a bowl of noodles, because he knows that government funds are used for the military, not for these officials to eat and drink. Hearing this, Guan Tianpei appreciated this man even more, and he promoted his position by two levels. Guan Tianpei, 178 1, a native of Huai 'an, Jiangsu. He comes from a low-level martial arts family. But he studied Confucianism since childhood and was admitted to Wu Xiucai. He has been very strict with himself since he became an official.

At that time, there was a corrupt and lazy atmosphere up and down the Manchu officialdom. Guan Tianpei was well aware of the long-standing drawbacks of the imperial court, and these officials were even more mercenary, regardless of the world. Therefore, after taking over as the prefect of Guangdong Navy, Guan Tianpei solemnly declared that this official has an important responsibility to be the prefect of Guangdong Navy. Officials at all levels are not allowed to bring things to visit me, nor do they have to spend a lot of money to receive me. ? This directive effectively curbed the military expenditure caused by flattering and receiving local officials.

When Guan Tianpei arrived at the Navy yamen, he found a group of craftsmen busy building yamen and buying new equipment. He immediately ordered the yamen to remain intact, not to be renovated, and all new appliances should be returned. After that, he went to inspect the camp. In the process of touring the camp, Guan Tianpei finally breathed a sigh of relief, because he saw that these frontline troops had strict military discipline, high quality soldiers and good morale. But he was really tired after running for a day, so Chief Qian Wang, who accompanied the inspection, asked Guan Tianpei to have a rest. After waiting for a while, Wang Xun's kitchen staff brought a side dish and a bowl of noodles. Guan Tianpei's entourage was very angry when they saw this scene. They began to curse and asked Wang Xun how dare he be so rude to the navy prefect. Wang Xun answered helplessly:? All the funds allocated to us by the imperial court are used for coastal defense and military construction. You are here to prepare for military affairs, not to eat. ?

Guan Tianpei began to laugh when he heard this. What a talent of the imperial court! Write an order to promote Wang Xun's official position by two levels! ? Wang Xun never imagined that he would be promoted because of this bowl of noodles, and his heart was full of gratitude to Guan Tianpei. In the subsequent battle with the British army, Wang Xun led the soldiers to fight bravely and repelled the attack of British naval vessels twice, which was disappointing.
