常州知府胡觀瀾結交鹽政徵瑞長隨高柏林，派捐修葺江陰廣福寺。 Hu Guanlan, prefect of Changzhou, had cultivated ties with Zheng Rui, the salt controller, and his chief attendant Gao Bolin, and imposed levies to repair Guangfu Temple in Jiangyin.

岳起疏言觀瀾、柏林雖罷逐，尚不足服眾心，請將錢二萬餘串責二人分償，以修蘇州官塘橋路。 Yue Qi memorialized that although Guanlan and Bolin had been dismissed, this was still not enough to satisfy public opinion; he asked that the more than twenty thousand strings of cash be recovered from the two men in equal shares to repair Suzhou's official roads and bridges.
