The official residence of salt and wine tax is near the river, which was seriously damaged by the flood. When I arrived, I saw that the house was too damaged to live in, so I made a request to the sheriff. I want to borrow a special envoy from the government department to work and live. The sheriff had nowhere to go, so I agreed.
It was not until this year1February that we were able to straighten the tilted places and fill the collapsed and defective places. We also opened a small piece of land in the east of the General's Mansion as a porch, planted two shirts and a hundred bamboos as a place to entertain guests and relax ourselves. However, there used to be three people in charge of salt and wine tax. When I got there, both of them left without official business, leaving everything to me alone.
In this way, I sit in the market during the day, selling salt and wine, collecting taxes from people who sell pigs and fish, bargaining with business people and doing my duty. Come back at night, exhausted, groggy, and wake up bright again.
In the morning, I come out to do my duty to take care of my work. I can't live safely in the so-called Dong Xuan. Passing by it every morning and evening, I often laugh silently when I see it.
When I was young, I used to study. I was secretly surprised that Yan Yuan lived in a simple street, with a bamboo tube and a ladle of water. Others can't stand that kind of suffering, but Yan Yuan doesn't change his pleasure. I thought to myself, even if I don't want to be an official, being a small official can still support myself, and it doesn't hinder my study. Why should I be so embarrassed and miserable and ask for it? When I came to Yunzhou, I worked hard in daily necessities without a day's rest. Although I want to stay away from dirty customs, get rid of the fetters of trifles and wander in places where moral quality is cultivated, I am often bound by trifles, but I don't know why Yan Yuan is willing to be poor and humble. He refused to make a living for a little salary because it hindered his study.
Alas, a scholar-bureaucrat thinks he is very happy when he still doesn't understand the profound truth of life and is addicted to power and interests. He thinks that as long as he can get money to have children, he will be satisfied with getting beautiful women. Wait until he explores the true meaning of life according to justice, abandons the enrichment gained from the glitz outside, works calmly, is broad-minded, does not take heaven and earth as the big thing, and is not worried about life and death, not to mention the following? Therefore, this kind of spiritual happiness is enough to overcome poverty and hunger in life without regrets. Even the emperor can't be better than him. Probably a person can't do this without noble morality.
I really want to wash away the filth on myself and admire the noble character of sages. I don't even have one-tenth of others, but I want to be as happy as Yan Yuan. Of course, it's impossible. For example, Confucius traveled around the world. When he was in a high position, he was a scout of Lu, and when he was in a low position, he was an official in charge of animal husbandry and warehouse management. There was nothing he could not do.
That's probably a matter for knowledgeable people, not for ordinary people who study. I came here because I was demoted. Although I know I live like a prisoner, I can't get rid of it.
I only hope that after a long time, the world may pity me and let me go back to my hometown and build the shabby house left by my father into a small house to live in. After that, I can follow the happiness of Yanyuan, miss Dong Xuan and forget my old age and weakness. But even this is unpredictable.

Because of my sin, I have been demoted to supervise the salt and wine tax in Yunzhou. Before I arrived, it rained heavily, and the flood in Yunzhou flooded everywhere, drowning heather, boarding the north shore and destroying the gate of the secretariat. Salt tax and wine tax build houses facing the river, and the flood is particularly serious. I have been there, and when I saw that the house was damaged and uninhabitable, I reported to the county and wanted to borrow the official residence of the Ministry. The county pitied me for being homeless and agreed to it. This year1February, we can prop up the inclined place, fill in the collapsed place, open up the east side of the auditorium as a porch, plant two Chinese fir trees and a hundred bamboos as a place to eat and rest. However, the tax on salt and wine used to be done by three palace officials together. When I went, the two of them resigned and left the matter to me alone. I sit in the market during the day and sell salt, wine, dolphins and fish, competing with vendors for size and making profits for myself; I came back at night, exhausted and groggy, not knowing that the night had passed and the day had come. In the morning, I went out to do my own work, and finally I couldn't live in the so-called Dong Xuan. Go out every morning and evening, come back from it, see it, you can't help laughing internally.
When I was young, I used to study, secretly wondering that Yan Yuan lived in a simple street with a basket of vegetables and a ladle of water. Others can't stand that kind of suffering, and Yan Yuan doesn't change his pleasure. I thought to myself that even if I don't want to be an official, being a small official can still support myself, but it doesn't hinder my study. How can I be embarrassed, humiliated and pitiful? When I came to Yunzhou, I worked hard to sell salt and rice, but I didn't have a day off. Although I want to abandon worldly trifles and put my love in a place to cultivate moral quality, it is often blocked and put aside. Only then did I know why Yan Yuan was willing to be poor and humble. It turned out that he refused to provide for himself for a little salary. Because it will hinder his study.
Ah! When the scholar didn't hear the profound truth, he was addicted to the interests of power, thinking that Mei Yusi's son and daughter were his luck and that he was happy. When he pursues morality according to the principle of justice, he will shed some gorgeous ornaments such as E79FA5E98193E7898E69D833133332643230 and reap his fruits. He can do things with ease, and he doesn't know the big world, the change of life and death, and he doesn't know people who are not as good as him. Therefore, his happiness is enough to make him poor and hungry without resentment. Even if the south is king, it cannot be imposed on him. Probably not a virtuous person can't afford it. I sincerely want to get rid of all kinds of virtues of washing filth and worshiping saints and look at my own shortcomings, but I am afraid that I will not get that virtue when I think that I almost have the happiness of Yan Yuan! Like Confucius who traveled around the world, the highest official position was the shepherd of Lu, and the smallest official position was the official in charge of animal husbandry and warehouse, but his experience was not wrong. That's probably for open-minded people, but it's not what students want.
I came here because of relegation. Although I know the harm of this punishment, I think I can't get away with it. I hope to be alone for a long time, and the world may pity me, so that I can retire, rest in the countryside, repair the dilapidated houses of my predecessors and build a small house to live there. After that, I will pursue the happiness of Yanyuan, miss Dong Xuan and forget that I am old. However, this is not what I dare to desire.

3. After I was demoted for my crime, I became a tax collector of Yunzhou Salt Liquor Monopoly. Before I arrived, there was a rainstorm in Yunzhou, which flooded the market in the south of the city and the bank in the north of the city, and washed away the gate of the Secretariat House.
