After Xining, Cai Jing's money exchange method was twice as much. ""In the early years of Dai Li, the salt law was formulated, and "officials were set up and business was sold".

Cai Jing took an active part in political reform.
Cai Jing is a staunch supporter and right-hand man of Wang Anshi's political reform. Wang Anshi's political reform increased government revenue; In order to promote agricultural production, more than 10,000 water conservancy projects have been built all over the country. But at that time, many people opposed the reform and regarded the new law as a scourge. Wang Anshi was described as a rebel thief. After Song Shenzong's death, Zi Zhe Li Zong, the Empress Dowager, Tingzheng and Sima Guang became prime ministers, trying to revive the old people's old laws and eliminate the new ones. Cai Jing, Wang Anshi's right-hand man, became the main target of the attack. It was not until the eighth year of Yuan You (1093) that political reformers were reused. Soon, Cai Jing returned to Beijing, served as the minister of the Ministry, and continued to publicize and introduce Wang Anshi's new law, so that Wang Anshi's legacy was inherited.
