1、 Ten days after taking office, Hai Rui posted a notice stating that wherever he went, he should not show off, welcome and bid farewell with drums and music, and should not stay in the magnificent house. If someone wants to treat him to a meal, a maximum of two or three yuan per meal is sufficient, and excessive extravagance and waste should be avoided.
2、 This includes not only their own common practices, but also the additional income of county magistrates, chief clerks, historians, teachers, and yamen officials who rely on the county government for survival. It can be said that they have two clean sleeves.
3、 Soon, the county magistrate, chief clerk, historian, master, and yamen all began to strike. They thought that this would make Hai Rui surrender.
4、 After the county magistrate left, Hai Rui took over the county magistrate's work and did it himself; If the yamen stops working, he will look for people from poor households; Dianshi stopped working, he took over the business and added himself to the team. As a result, he did the work of just over ten people alone.
5、 When superiors came to inspect the work or passed by here, all hospitality returned to the mode of Hongwu's early years - there was no sign of extravagance or waste. Gradually, no one wanted to come to Chun'an anymore, and even those passing by were in a hurry.
