Sun Jiagan was a veteran of the Qing Dynasty. Why did he bring bricks home when he retired?

Sun Jiagan was a famous minister in Qing Dynasty, not only because he was clean, but also because he dared to speak out and give advice. He went from the emperor to the people, so he offended many people. But it is such a minister who has experienced three dynasties and assisted Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors before and after, and is deeply loved by the royal family. It is true that Sun Jiagan doesn't love money. A good official who loves the people is the second Harry.

During the Yongzheng period, the means were diabolical and the rule was extremely harsh. In this case, no one dared to protest directly. Only Sun Jiagan bluntly preached that Yongzheng should take care of his family and be kind to his brother. Although Yongzheng was angry that Sun Jiagan dared to say so, Yongzheng was carrying out his own reform and needed people like Sun Jiagan, otherwise Sun Jiagan would have been beheaded 800 years ago.

During the Qianlong period, Sun Jiagan was given a grand job, and Sun Jiagan was specially promoted to be the suggestion, so that he could impeach the minister of the DPRK and avenge the people, giving full play to Sun Jiagan's talents. It is precisely because of this that many people will bribe him, but Sun Jiagan doesn't like money, and he doesn't accept any money except the salary and the corruption fee paid by the court. Ganlong especially appreciated him and promoted him to be the minister of punishments.

Although Sun Jiagan has been doing things, he has always kept his original heart and even helped the people out of his own pocket. Finally, I returned to my hometown, penniless, with no house, no land and no savings. It was really clean. However, Sun Jiagan was afraid of being laughed at by his hometown people after returning home, so he thought of a bad idea. He tied several big boxes to the back of the car and stuffed them with bricks.

When he left the city, his sworn enemy saw him, so he went to Qianlong to complain that his honesty was all false, so Qianlong sent someone to stop his carriage and open it. It was full of bricks. Unable to smile, Qianlong gave him a box of gold.
