初，宗昉督學貴州時，巡撫議丈全省田為增賦計，民情惶駭，會檄學官徵集圖書，得御史包承祚奏疏，乾隆初，學政鄒一桂請丈田，而承祚奏駁之，極言黔中山多平地少，民每虛佔不毛之地，胥吏高下其手，以丈高下不可準之田，賦未必增，民受其害。
Earlier, when Zongfang was educational commissioner in Guizhou, the governor proposed surveying all land in the province to increase taxation, terrifying the populace. When educational officials were ordered to collect documents, he found a memorial by Censor Bao Chengzuo. In the early Qianlong reign, Educational Commissioner Zou Yigui had requested land surveys, but Chengzuo had memorialized in rebuttal, arguing that Guizhou had more mountains than flat land, that people often falsely claimed barren plots, that clerks manipulated the process, that surveying uneven terrain would not necessarily increase revenue, and that the people would suffer.
