The Biography of Su Zhe in the Same Year

In the second year of Jiayou's reign, the Dragon and Tiger List gathered the talents of half a generation in the Song Dynasty. At the age of 19, Su Che came to Beijing with his father and brother, and saw the number one scholar Zhang Heng at one glance. He followed him all his life, and watched all the chess games of the Northern Song Dynasty for hundreds of years with the eyes of a bystander. Zhang Heng held the financial key of the Song Dynasty, and pioneered a set of new laws on hydrological tracing, three-account auditing, equalization of prices, and national budget and final accounts. Zhang Dun, Lu Huiqing, and Wang Shao all had their own talents in the same year. Some were in charge of the frontiers, some were in charge of the treasury, and some were well versed in maneuvering. Wang Anshi's reform swept through the government and the opposition, and the old and new parties tore the court apart. Former classmates in the same year suddenly fell into opposing camps. Su Zhe protected his brother Su Shi in dealing with the party disputes in Luoshu, investigating the water transport corruption case, and compiled the first national balance sheet "Yuanyou Accounting Records" in the Ministry of Accounts. When Sima Guang abolished the new law, he argued hard with reason. After Zhezong came to power, both brothers were demoted to far away places. Cai Jing used good financial strategies to make money wantonly, and the good laws of the past completely changed. The world only knows that San Su's literary talent is unparalleled in the world, but few people see the forbearance and perseverance hidden behind Su Che's poems. Party inscriptions are filled with the names of guilty officials, and the bodies of those who were demoted are buried one after another. However, the auditing, equalization, and rural covenant systems left by Zhang Heng have passed through party strife and killings, and have overcome the hardships of demotion and relegation, and have flowed into the fabric of the Song Dynasty. People will be trapped in inscriptions, trapped in the path of demotion, and trapped in the selfish desires of the times. Only perfect laws can break away from reincarnation and last forever.
