Smart and Brave Talents - Chinese History Stories

Bok av Zhu Dingyuan, Ting Shaonan
In the former autocratic era in China, most officials only requested farmers to pay tax but never considered the pain of farmers. Farmer who could not pay the tax would be arrested and forced to sell his land and children and then released, otherwise, he would be detained for a long time without personal freedom. Of course, there were also some officials who really loved people and found solutions to mitigate farmers' burden. Sun Jue was definitely a good official in Song Dynasty.
