Qingli Floating World: Inspector of the Song Dynasty

In the autumn and September of the third year of Qingli (AD 1043), the "Replying the Imperial Edict and Chen Ten Matters" was submitted, and the Qingli New Deal was launched. The wave of the New Deal swept into the deepest part of the Song Dynasty - Liuxi County, a second-class wharf built along the Cao River. On Jingnan Road, Gou Zhen, a book boy who can occasionally break the fourth wall and talk to the officials from a distance, accompanied the new commercial and tax supervisor Lin Sifu to take office here. What awaits them is not a bright future, but a huge web of corruption jointly woven by subordinate officials, Caohe, and Hongshang. The death of the tax collector is the beginning of the conspiracy; the real and fake officials are the appearance of the chess game. On the one hand, there is the ardent vision of "Fan Zhongyan and others" in the DPRK who are determined to reform, and on the other hand, there are the intricate local forces in Liuxi. The two fledgling "students" will use commercial tax as a sword to carve out a way of life under the national policy of "strengthening the trunk and weakening the branches"? A picture scroll depicting the officialdom, economy and people's livelihood at the grassroots level in the Northern Song Dynasty, along the river during the Qingming Festival, slowly unfolded.
