即墨大夫 / Jimo Dafu
即墨大夫 / Jimo Dafu appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》10丨 以家族单位 有蚂蚁吃大象的精神（2） as the local 齐国 official whose court reputation is bad but whose district performs well when 齐威王 secretly investigates it. The source says Jimo has opened land, has full fields, a prosperous population, and stable eastern borders.
His source role is the positive half of Independent Official Audit / 独立考核地方官. Qi Wei Wang concludes that Jimo Dafu is attacked at court because he has not bribed or flattered nearby courtiers, then rewards him with additional households.
《资治通鉴·周纪》14丨齐威王 不鸣则已一鸣惊人 reuses the audit after 淳于髡’s remonstrance. In this sequence, rewarding Jimo Dafu becomes one concrete action inside Qi Wei Wang’s political turnaround, not only an isolated administrative anecdote.
