Yuanma Shihengchuan

Original text:

Ma Heng, a great word, is from Nanhe, Xingzhou. Xianzong three years, sai-jo levied in Yunnan, leaving Heng as the governor of Jingzhao Queban. Jingzhao is the ancestral fief, and the rule of combining leniency with severity is not embarrassing. After five years in power, the people live and work in peace and contentment. Aranda, a constitutional sect, and others went to check the government's money valley. When Shi Heng was old, they organized a class to lose 500 pieces of silver to the government and called Pingyang to meet him. Heng said, "If I see it, Yin will arrest it. If I don't see it, I will be guilty. It is better to be guilty than to be guilty. " Allen avoided seeing him and was very angry. He sent a special envoy to arrest him. Even if you are poor, you will get nothing. Sai-jo learned of the false accusation and gave him thirty-two pieces of silver. In the first year of reunification, Sai-jo acceded to the throne, and Fu Xuansi was established in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Zhao Heng discussed Fu Xuansi in Shaanxi. In order to find the golden symbol, he went to Shaanxi and Sichuan to measure military reserves and transport envoys. Looking for provincial construction, Min Heng is also a doctor in Shaanxi Province. At that time, there were 50,000 yuan of livestock food to be transferred to Jin Kui's big army, and the commission was straight, which was pushed by many people. When there are difficulties, we should make use of the provincial government. At the very least, soldiers and officials are serving them. They don't read the moon, but collect things. Xingyuan judge's fee is cunning and illegal, and Hengbai provincial capital wants to bring it to justice, so it tries to falsely accuse Guanzhong area of conspiracy in front of the provincial government. Zhao Youcheng persisted and argued, and his unjust structure was lifted. In four years, he moved to Shaanxi No.5 Road, and went to Xishu and Sichuan for cheap visits. A few days later, the imperial court took a trial class, transported it to Beijing by all means, and transferred it to general manager office, where it was awarded the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry and the salt solution agreement. Hengshang said, "If you decide to reward and punish by examination, you will only gather people and ignore everything, so what's the peace?" Might as well give him a life letter and let the official give some advice. "From it. Some Jia Hu relied on the state to use Ahema, and wanted to pay for the transaction, so as to benefit the private and fair, and resigned to fate. When the emperor asked him, Heng said to him, "This is the law, which can pay for all goods. The maker of the law, the handle of the Lord, will be a good one today, and how will he create the world? "Things go to bed. Heng also suggested setting up regular warehouses and warehouses, saying that these are tools for preparing for famine, and setting up warehouses if there is not enough money. In seven years, the province of Shangshu was established, and it still took constancy as Shangshu, leading the left department. Ping Zhang looks for a dark horse, and the soldiers will be surrounded by fake soldiers who will be exempted from the official meeting. Xiangfan will discuss the salary payment in Henan Province, with Ali as the right, Yao Shu as the left, and as the province, and let him serve for ten years and return to the capital. Please tell me his illness. Fourteen, seventy-one.

Translation:

Ma Heng, a great word, is from Nanhe, Xingzhou. Xianzong three years, sai-jo levied Yunnan, leaving Ma Heng as the chief executive of Jingzhao Quesi. Jingzhao is an ancestral fief. Ma Heng is simple in administration, lenient in punishment, and does not extort money. Five years later, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and their taxes were sufficient. The constitutional sect Alan Dahl and others went to verify the money valley of the Sai-jo's official residence. Last year, Ma Heng delivered 500 pieces of silver to the official residence and met Allen Dahl in Pingyang. Ma Hengxin thought: "If they see it, they will definitely take the money they collected; If they don't see it, they will blame me. I would rather be found guilty than not be able to transport the money to the palace. "So I avoided Allen. Allen flew into a rage and sent someone to the palace to arrest Ma Heng. When I found Allen, I tried everything, but found nothing. Sai-jo knew that Ma Heng had been wronged and gave him thirty-two pieces of silver. In the first year of reunification, Sai-jo ascended the throne, established Fu Xuan Department in Shaanxi and Sichuan, and ordered Ma Heng to participate in Fu Xuan Department in Shaanxi. Soon, he was given a golden symbol and transferred to the military reserves of Shaanxi and Sichuan. Soon, China Construction Bank asked Ma Heng to be a part-time doctor in Shaanxi Province, Zuo Si. At that time, Xingyuan stored 50,000 stones of grain, and wanted to transfer the Jin Kui army to pay for it, and calculated the labor cost of transportation, pushing Ma Heng to supervise transportation. Ma Heng's mother died, and she was taken back to the provincial government before the mourning period ended. When Ma Heng arrived, he worked hard in the order of soldiers and finished it in less than a month. Xingyuan judge fee, cunning, tough, illegal. Ma Heng asked the provincial government to bring him to justice, but he actually opposed the false accusation that the provincial government had different plans in Guanzhong. The court ordered Zuo Cheng to be tied together for interrogation, and Ma Heng tried his best to defend himself before finding out this unjust case. In the fourth year of China's reunification, Ma Heng was transferred to the Fifth Road in Shaanxi and the capital of Lian Fang in Xishu, Sichuan. Soon, the court ordered all transshipment departments to go to Beijing for performance appraisal. When they arrived in Beijing, they merged the transshipment ambassador into the general management office, and awarded Ma Heng as the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry and the salt solution assistant. Ma Heng wrote and asked, "Where is right and wrong? Reward and punishment are determined by examination, and the messenger is transferred to stop his official. "They should be given a letter of appointment to encourage officials." The court agreed. Some businessmen in the western regions, relying on the power of controlling the country to make Ahema, want to buy the right to issue banknotes and take advantage of the government's price control. When the emperor asked Ma Heng about it, Ma Heng said, "You can exchange money for 10,000 commodities. This is the power of the law. Legalism is the power of the emperor. Now let a businessman manipulate it and abolish the law for personal gain. How will it be enforced worldwide? " Therefore, the intention of the merchants in the western regions failed to come true. Ma Heng also suggested the establishment of a conventional warehouse and a reserve warehouse. At that time, due to lack of financial resources, only one warehouse was set up. Seven years, the establishment of Shangshu Province, with Ma Heng as Shangshu, led the left department. Soon, because Ahema Pingzhang was jealous, he was falsely accused of dismissal from office. When the Yuan army surrounded Xiangfan, the court decided that the military pay should be paid by Henan Province, and named Ali as the right cheng of Henan Province, Yao Shu as the left cheng and Ma Heng as the left province. In the 10th year of Yuan Dynasty, he returned to Beijing and asked to resign due to illness. He died in the 14th year of Zhiyuan at the age of 7 1 year.
