Ning Cheng(寧成)(? BC?-BC??)

 

His surname is (Ning) and the name given to him by his parents is (Cheng). He was born in Henan Province, China.

 

Tranquil meaning. It is also one of the Chinese surnames.

The meaning of completion. The meaning of success. It is also one of the Chinese surnames.

 

He was a famous minister in the Han Dynasty.

History books record a story about him.

 

He has a fierce personality, he dares to take great risks, and he has the character of a gambler.

He used his own power and loopholes in the law to achieve his goals.

 

He looks down on anyone.

He despised his superiors, he oppressed his subordinates and those who were inferior to him.

 

In 144 BC, he ushered in the peak of his career.

He was appointed by the king as a senior official in the capital's security and police affairs.

Using his position, he collected many criminal evidences of nobles in the capital.

He used the criminal evidence he possessed to control these nobles.

If these nobles do not listen to his blackmail, he will formally prosecute these criminal nobles.

Many nobles in the capital are under his control, so many nobles hate him very much.

 

In 140 BC, a new king took office,so he was dismissed, and he became a middle-ranking clerk.

These nobles who had been oppressed by him were very happy. These nobles fought back, and he was arrested and sentenced.

 

Because he still had the criminal evidence of these nobles in his hands, although he was arrested, he was not sentenced to death.

He used his own money and connections to forge documents to exonerate himself.

After his acquittal he became a commoner.

He left the capital and returned to his hometown.

 

After he returned to his hometown, he said to himself.

"According to my current situation, I have no way to complete the life goals I set before in this life.

It is impossible for me to become an official above the provincial governor level.

I'm going to set a new goal. I'm going to be a very rich man."


He borrowed money to buy a lot of land, and he leased the land to poor farmers and charged high rents.

In this way, he quickly accumulated his own capital.

A few years later, he achieved his new goal and became the richest man in his hometown.

 

In the past few years when he accumulated capital, relying on his previous experience in public security and policing, he secretly collected a lot of black information about the officials who managed his hometown.

 

Because he has the illegal evidence of these officials, these officials are very fearful and obedient to him.

A few years later, he had more power than the local governor.

I hope this story can give you something to gain.
