Biography

杨卓,泰和人。
明史卷一百四十 列传第二十八:
  杨卓,字自立,泰和人。洪武四年进士,授吏部主事。逾年,迁广东行省员外郎。田家妇独行山中,遇伐木卒,欲乱之。妇不从,被杀。官拷同役卒二十人,皆引服。卓曰::“卒人众,必善恶异也,可尽抵罪乎?”列二十人庭下,熟视久之,指两卒曰:“杀人者,汝也!”两卒大惊,服罪。坐事谪田凤阳,复起为杭州通判。有兄弟争田者,累岁不决,卓至,垂涕开谕,遂罢争。卓精吏事,吏不能欺。而治平恕,民悦服焉。病免,卒。
  卓同邑罗性,字子理。洪武初举于乡,授德安同知。有大盗久不获,株连系狱者数百人。性至郡,悉出所系。约十日得贼即尽贷。众叩头愿尽力,七日果得。尝治蔬圃,得窖铁万余斤。会方赋铁造军器,民争求售。性曰:“此天所以济民也,吾何预焉。”悉以充赋。秩满赴京,坐用枣木染军衣,谪戍西安。性博学。时四方老师宿儒在西安者数十人,吴人邹奕曰:“合吾辈所读书,庶几罗先生之半。”年七十卒。
