In the sixth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1470), Wang Xun was appointed as the magistrate of Taikang County, sharing weal and woe with the people, repairing rivers and wasteland; Reduce taxes and help the hungry; Establish schools, promote education and train talents. After three years in power, his political voice is very loud, and the people call him the best parent in 30 years. When he was appointed as the censor of Sichuan Daoism in Nanjing, he was almost thrown into prison for impeaching, raping and destroying dignitaries. During his tenure as the magistrate of Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, in order to control the uneven taxation, he formulated the Tax Equalization Law, which was praised by Governor Shao Peng. After the implementation, it can get rid of the long-standing disadvantages of arbitrary tax increase by state and county officials and tax transfer from landlords to civilians, but it cannot be implemented because of the opposition of local landlords. He had to make laws and take measures to limit the gentry's illegal acts in the aspects of the difference between the original amount of money and the difference between silver reduction and subtraction, thus reducing the burden on the people to some extent.
In the 19th year of Chenghua in Ming Dynasty (1483), Wang Xun was appointed as the secretariat of Nanjing and was ordered to inspect Suzhou and Songshan. According to the regulations at that time, anyone who caught 300 thieves could be promoted to the fourth grade salary. At that time, there were thousands of criminals suspected of theft in both places, which was a good opportunity for promotion. Wang Xun said, "I can't kill for progress." Wherever he goes, he will examine the case in detail, examine major cases, and all cases that are untrue will be rehabilitated and released, thus saving many lives.
In the eleventh year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty (1489), Xun was promoted to the right deputy capital of Duchayuan and was appointed as the governor of Ningxia. Ningxia is located in a remote place, close to Tatar, where the military and civilians are mixed, and the Han and Qiang people live together. The place is not peaceful and the armaments are not strong. After Wang Xun took office, after some investigation, he set the policy of "defending first before fighting, keeping inside first and keeping outside". Starting from benefiting the people, he led the army and civilians to dig the Helan Mountain Canal, expand the wasteland, divert water to irrigate the Dashitan, and turn the desert into fertile land. Tax reduction and exemption, production incentives, and rest for border residents. At that time, there were 40,800 Qiang people in Lingzhou (now Lingwu, Ningxia), which was originally managed by thousands of military organs. Qiang people can't stand the harassment of soldiers and complain a lot. Wang Xun obtained the consent of his boss and established national governance for him, thus stabilizing social order. Later, schools were set up to promote enlightenment, which gradually brought local customs closer to the mainland. In order to consolidate the frontier defense, widen and increase important towns and strengthen castles; Set up observation posts at the border; Strengthen the setting and management of beacon towers. In addition, he also appealed to the court: select brave border people to enrich the army; Promote people of insight in border areas to local posts; Reduce taxes and store their money and food on the spot to enrich their armaments. These requests were implemented after the approval of the imperial court, so the defense forces in Ningxia were greatly strengthened.
In the 14th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (130 1), little Tatars invaded and plundered thousands of people in Xinhua Maqi (now Yanchi, Ningxia), which caused huge local losses. Wang Xun and Guo Kun, the company commander, discussed how to counter the strong enemy. He thinks it is imperative for a strong enemy to attack, and he will chase after losing his spirit. Xun said, "If you force the enemy to go deep and get ecstatic, you will be arrogant and tired. I will fight back with an honest teacher and win. " So he sent his troops to fight against the enemy of Shigou Post, and won a great victory in one fell swoop. He not only wiped out his elite, but also saved thousands of people who were plundered, as well as a large number of livestock and property. The emperor was overjoyed when the good news reached Beijing. He wrote a letter of commendation and gave him a gift: colored silk, sheep, wine and labor.
Wang Xun not only devoted himself to political, economic and military governance, but also attached great importance to the compilation and revision of local chronicles. When Yu Hongzhi was the magistrate of Huzhou, he spent four years (149 1) compiling 24 volumes of Huzhou Prefecture Records (now in Zhejiang Library). Although Wang Xun had complicated frontier affairs in Ningxia, he also compiled eight volumes of New Records of Ningxia. These local chronicles have become important local historical documents. Wang Xun worked as governor of Ningxia for four years and was overworked many times. In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi (1502), he retired to another country and spent six years at home. He called himself "Ye Nan" and wrote Bian Bei Pian, Bian Wu Pian and Ye Nan Poetry. Zheng De died in the third year (1508) at the age of 69.
