上諭之曰：「金世德、於成龍為巡撫有聲，爾承其後，得名甚難。 The emperor told him: "Jin Shide and Yu Chenglong were famous as governors. You follow in their footsteps, and earning a reputation will be difficult.

金世德，字孟求，漢軍正黃旗人，兵部侍郎維城子。 Jin Shide, whose style was Mengqiu, came from the Chinese Bordered Yellow Banner and was the son of Vice Minister of War Weicheng.

是時尚循明製，直隸不置兩司，世德請設守道理錢穀，巡道理刑名，如外省布政、按察二司。 Zhili still followed the Ming pattern without provincial commissioners; Shide asked that circuit intendants handle fiscal affairs and circuit judges handle criminal cases, as in other provinces.

歲輸銀二萬有奇、穀豆三百九十石，歷年責原戶納賦為民害，世德為奏請除額。 Yet the tax rolls still demanded more than twenty thousand taels of silver and three hundred ninety shi of grain yearly from the original households—a burden Shide had removed by memorial.

世德單騎行營中，躬料芻糗，軍無橫索，吏無侵漁，市肆晏然。 Shide rode alone through the camps to oversee fodder and rations himself; troops did not requisition at will, clerks did not extort, and markets stayed calm.

十九年，卒，諡清惠。 He died in Kangxi 19 (1680) and was posthumously titled Qinghui (Pure and Kind).
