The Summoner of the Battle of All Realms

Since then, crocodile cannibalism has never happened again in Chaozhou.

People call the place where Han Yu sacrificed crocodiles "Hanpu", the ferry "Handu", the river "Hanjiang", and the mountain across the river is called "Hanshan".

Later, the story was passed down like this.

Full of mythology.

Later, the story was changed and made into a segment in the TV series.

There is a scene in "Journey to the East" where there is a crocodile king who is very ferocious, eats people, does evil, and has great magical power.

However, the protagonist changed from Han Yu to his nephew-Han Xiangzi.

Han Xiangzi fed crocodiles with his body and eventually became an immortal.

Liu Zongyuan was also a great writer in the Tang Dynasty, but he was born a little later than Han Yu. He was a writer, philosopher, essayist and thinker in the Tang Dynasty. He is known as "Liu Hedong" and "Mr. Hedong" in the world. Because he died as the governor of Liuzhou, he was also called "Liu Liuzhou".

Liu Zongyuan is called "Han Liu" together with Han Yu, "Liu Liu" together with Liu Yuxi, and "Wang Meng Wei Liu" together with Wang Wei, Meng Haoran and Wei Yingwu, etc. There are many names and a very famous reputation.

…

Ouyang Xiu was a politician, writer, historian and poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. The courtesy name is Uncle Yong, and the nickname is Drunken Old Man.

The saying "a drunkard's heart is not about wine" came from him.

What I want is not what I portray! It comes from Ouyang Xiu's "The Drunkard's Pavilion".

In his later years, Ouyang Xiu was also known as Liuyi layman. He had a collection of 10,000 volumes of books, a thousand volumes of inscriptions and stone texts from three generations, a harp, a chess game, a pot of wine, and a drunkard.

During the reign of Renzong, he was promoted to the Imperial Academy and Imperial Academy. During the reign of Yingzong, he was promoted to deputy envoy to the privy council and participated in political affairs.

He was also pleased to reward the younger ones, and Su Shi's brothers, Zeng Gong and Wang Anshi all came out of his sect. His poems, lyrics, and prose were all among the best at the time.

…

The last one is Zeng Gong. Compared with the other seven people in the Eight Great Families of Tang and Song Dynasties, Zeng Gong's reputation is the smallest and weakest.

In terms of fame alone, he was the least famous among the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Zeng Gong, courtesy name Zigu, was an essayist, historian, and politician during the Northern Song Dynasty. Zeng Gong was born in a Confucian family. His grandfather Zeng Zhiyao and his father Zeng Yizhan were both famous officials in the Northern Song Dynasty. Zeng Gong was talented and intelligent. He had an extraordinary memory. He read poems and books when he was young, and could recite them. He was able to write at the age of twelve.

In the second year of Jiayou's reign, he passed the imperial examination and served as a judicial officer in Taiping Prefecture, joining the army. He was famous for his clear practice of laws and regulations and appropriate sentencing.

In the second year of Xining, he was appointed as a reviewer of "Records of Emperor Yingzong of the Song Dynasty" and was soon sent to Yuezhou to judge.

Five years after Xining, he successively served as magistrates of Qizhou, Xiangzhou, Hongzhou, Fuzhou, Mingzhou, Bozhou, and Cangzhou.

In the fourth year of Yuanfeng, he was appointed as a historian for his talent in history. He was in charge of compilation and repair of the academy, and judged Taichang Temple and ceremonial affairs.

He died in the sixth year of Yuanfeng, and his posthumous title was "Wen Ding".

ps: I have something to do temporarily, I will explain it to you tonight! I am outside right now!

Although Zeng Gong is not well-known, he is indeed outstanding in terms of political performance.

Zeng Gong was very talented in politics and could be said to have served the country and the people.

After Fusu saw the information provided by the system to Zeng Gong, his eyes suddenly lit up. In Fusu's eyes, Zeng Gong was more important than Ouyang Xiu, Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan.

Because in Zeng Gong, Fusu saw the aura of a "good official" and the sign of ability.

When he was in Yuezhou, Zeng Gong ordered wealthy households to sell grain. Zeng Gong, who had been serving in the capital for several years at that time, had offended both Wang Anshi and Sima Guang in their dispute over the reform, so he requested a transfer from Song Shenzong.

Song Shenzong arranged for Zeng Gong to serve as the general magistrate of Yuezhou.

After Zeng Gong took office, he immediately examined the people's sentiments, interviewed the poor, and conducted research.

Yuezhou collected taxes from wine shops for the use of yamen. The wine shop's money was limited, which was not enough for financial expenses. The shortfall was divided among the people and levied, and a seven-year period was determined. The deadline has expired, but the government still imposes heavy taxes and extortionate taxes, without suspending tax collection as required. After Zeng Gong learned about the situation, he immediately stopped collecting the tax.

Later, Yuezhou encountered famine. The disaster was serious and people's livelihood was in decline.

Zeng Gong arranged for people to post notices, requiring wealthy households in each county to truthfully declare their grain reserves.

After the wealthy households declared that the reserves reached 150,000 shi, he immediately issued a decree requiring wealthy households in various places to sell grain to the common people at a price slightly higher than the Changping warehouse grain price, so that the hungry people could buy it nearby.

For the people, this move is tantamount to giving timely help.

Later, when Zeng Gong took office in Qizhou, he destroyed the local "Bawang Society" in one fell swoop and surrounded the interests of the people.

At that time, Zeng Gong was transferred to Qizhou as the magistrate. There was a wealthy family named Zhou. His son Zhou Gao was rich and unkind, and ran rampant in the countryside. The people were very angry. However, the Zhou family "had the power to influence the powerful" and colluded with the local officials.

Zeng Gong first arrived to collect evidence and bring Zhou Gao to justice.

There was a group of powerful people in Zhangqiu called the "Bawang Society" who committed murder and expropriation. Zeng Gong sent troops to capture them all. Thirty-one criminals were sentenced and sent to the frontier.

He also pioneered the "Baowu" method in Qizhou, where five households are considered as one security guard, who supervise access and registration, and implement the registration of foreigners. If there are thieves, drums will be played to help.

Through Zeng Gong's governance, crimes such as theft and robbery in Qizhou dropped significantly, and Qizhou turned from a state with many public security cases into a safe state, and the customs were cleared.

Zeng Gong was both diligent and pragmatic, and could always proceed from reality.

In order to control the Yellow River, the imperial court mobilized migrant workers from various places, including 20,000 Nanding from Qizhou.

When Zeng Gong heard that there were omissions and underreporting of household registrations in some places, he immediately decided to carry out census work, reporting from bottom to top, and verifying repeatedly. His pragmatic style saved many ordinary people from having to The pain of corvee lightened their burden.

Zeng Gong implemented Wang Anshi's new law in Qizhou, stimulating agricultural production; built Qizhou North Water Gate, solving the flood problem that had plagued Qizhou City for many years; and dredged Daming Lake.

Later generations built the Zeng Gong Temple in Qianfo Mountain and the Nanfeng Temple on the bank of Daming Lake to commemorate Zeng Gong's great contribution to Qizhou.

When he was in Hongzhou, Zeng Gong once changed his official residence into a temporary shelter. Zeng Gong was transferred to the magistrate of Hongzhou and also had jurisdiction over the military and horse capital of Jiangnan West Road.

At the beginning of his tenure, the plague coincided with the epidemic in Jiangxi.

Zeng Gong hurriedly deployed disaster relief supplies and quickly ordered counties and towns to stock up on anti-epidemic drugs to prepare for emergencies.

He arranged for people to vacate the official residence of the state government as a temporary shelter for sick soldiers and common people who were unable to support themselves. Not only did he assign doctors to treat their illnesses, but he also provided them with free food, clothing and quilts.

He sent people to record the epidemic situation at any time, register those who were infected and those who were not infected, and compiled them in time. Then he allocated funds from the treasury and distributed relief funds in an orderly manner according to priority.

When Zeng Gong was in Fuzhou, he explicitly asked officials not to compete with the people for profit. Zeng Gong was once transferred from Hongzhou to Fuzhou magistrate.

During his tenure in Fuzhou, Zeng Gong put forward a point of view: being an official cannot compete with the people for profit. The government's large quantities of vegetables were put on the market, which disrupted the market and caused vegetable prices to get lower and lower. Vegetable farmers who made a living by growing vegetables were unable to sell vegetables and their income was greatly reduced. Zeng Gong immediately canceled the certain area of ​​"professional land" allocated by the court to protect the interests of vegetable farmers.
