Jin zhaoduan held on to himself, and Xuanzong was in Qiandi, where he saluted him very much. His mother worried about serving him, promoted him, and supervised Hunan's study and administration. He is a Bachelor of cabinet. Twenty one years later, I went back to my study. In the Jiangnan local examination, he studied abroad in politics, and urged that he should not be deprived of talent in order to train scholars. He should cultivate morality, take Confucian classics as the foundation, and then take caizao as the second. Jin Zhao expounded the imperial edict and admonished the scholars.

Xuanzong ascended the throne, transferred the Ministry of officials, and made use of them. At that time, he used Shang Shuying to negotiate peacefully, and ordered all provinces to check the bad rules of prefectures and counties, and set clear restrictions. Jin Zhao sparsely said: "the bad rules all come from the people. If the local officials do not dare to extort them openly, they are afraid of the knowledge from the superior to punish them. If we make it clear that the constitution is due to an example, we must be blatant and ask for more than one exception. Although there is a strict purpose, we can't ban it. The name of the case is miscellaneous, and the location is different, so it is difficult for the procurator to be true and accurate, and there is a lot of confusion.

After discussing with the ministers of the Ministry, Jin Zhao said: "in Kangxi, the imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty, which never added Fu, was the best plan to cultivate the national vein in the hundred million years of the Qing Dynasty. The Ministry of accounts refuted the previous proposal to increase the consumption of rice and public money. Today, it is allowed to receive a slight floating income, and those who are unworthy will have no scruples. And the floating income is more than in the past. Although it was told that Yan Shen would be given more than 20% of the income, he would not be punished and his death would not be reduced. He only abides by the new fixed amount, but dare not exceed it. After the governor's decision is made, he will not worry about the charge of floating collection; even if he finds out in the prefecture and county, he will get rid of his crime. It's the restriction that is still in vain. It's just the end of Kaijia Fu in the prosperous Dynasty. I cherish it.
