Life of the characters

In May of 978, the kingdom of Wu and Yue came to the Song Dynasty. Jingfang submitted the "Na Tu Biao" to song Ting along with the king of Wu and Yue, and was ordered to transport the books and Fu volumes to Bianjing. The two Zhejiang provinces under the jurisdiction of Wu and Yue have the heaviest taxes, three Dou per mu. After the Song Dynasty, Wu and Yue were collected according to their old books. Jingfang sighed with emotion when he was ordered: "the people of Wu and Yue have been stranded for a long time, so that you can see their books and know their Fu. It's time for the people of Wu and Yue to be stranded. I'd rather take it as my duty." So he went to court to plead guilty. Emperor Taizong was furious and sentenced to death. Fortunately, Minister Baozou was relieved and demoted to Qinshui County captain. Soon after, he returned to his hometown and lived in Guiyan (now Kaihua County), where he devoted himself to farming and died. The Song Dynasty lost the tax basis of Zhejiang and ordered Wang Yong to be the transshipment envoy of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and changed the tax law, levying a Dou per mu, which was two-thirds less than the original tax. Jingfang is a place where Su people are in trouble. He risked his life to sink his books and praised the people.

anecdote

Tax reduction for the people

In May of 978, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, Jiang Jingfang went to the capital for the second time with King Qian Chu of Wu and Yue to present the Na Tu Biao to the court of the Song Dynasty, expressing the intention of submission and supporting the policy of unifying the territory. This time, the king's house also gave the king's decree to the Wu Yue's map and registered residence book, which was collected by the court and collected by the court. Before the unification of the Song Dynasty, the taxes collected by small countries were different, but Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which belong to Wuyue state, had the heaviest taxes, up to three Dou per mu, while other small countries collected only one Dou per mu. Jiang Jingfang was upset about the tax policy and said with emotion: "if the authorities registered residence tax in accordance with this household register, the difficulties of Wu Yue farmers would be endless. I should do my duty. I'd rather not be an official and go back home to farm than make the peasants suffer from tyranny. " That's what Jiang Jingfang said and did. At that time, he took advantage of the waterway to transport maps and register in Beijing, and resolutely sank it to the bottom of the canal to feed the fish. Jiang Jingfang went to Beijing empty handed, came to Yintai (the place where judicial cases are managed), surrendered himself. Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty wanted to punish Jiang Jingfang for his death. Fortunately, many ministers in the court protected Jiang Jingfang from death. Later, he was demoted to Qinshui county.

Return home and live in seclusion

Jiang Jingfang was very sad when he worked in Qinshui county. He had no intention of official career, but he was willing to learn from the pastoral life of Tao Yuanming in Jin Dynasty. As a result, he abandoned his official to live in seclusion and chose a place to live in Guiyan Village (under the jurisdiction of Changshan County in ancient times and Fengjia town in Kaihua County today). It wasn't until the Yuan Dynasty, hundreds of years later, that an Hanlin named Zhang Shu wrote a special article named Chenji Ji Ji, which was incorporated into Song Shi Hui Yao. The story has been handed down for more than 1000 years. After Jiang Jingfang abandoned his official and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, he still maintained the spirit of advocating righteousness. At that time, there was a lawsuit in Guiyan village, and the villagers had been fighting for more than half a year, but the case was not closed, so the villagers asked Jiang Jingfang to help. By investigating the case, he identified the true and false, looked for human and material evidence, and finally revealed the truth to the villagers. In order to thank Jiang Jingfang for his meritorious service in the lawsuit, the villagers gave him ten pieces of gold as a reward. He laughed but did not accept. The villagers had no choice but to buy a piece of land from the gold and build a "Xieyuan courtyard". They also created a portrait of people in the river view house and sacrificed all the year round.
