Faced with Chen Xinggui's doubts, Qiu Mingshan sneered: "I know that Dongwen loves the people as much as his son, and he has a proper attitude. Do you know how those officials in charge of river workers do on weekdays? Where there are common people's land, even if the dike is good, they will be robbed to threaten it."

"If this is not possible, then it is not possible. How can you support such a big stall in Hegong? If the flood season comes this year, what will the people do?"

Chen Xinggui wanted to say it again, Lin Yanchao, enough, you are all my right-hand men, don’t argue, tell the gentry and say I will accept the money for the time being...but it is just a borrowing and will be returned before the New Year.”

borrow?

Chen Xinggui knew Lin Yanchao's idea, "I know that Dongwen wanted to use interest to make up for the shortcomings of He ICBC. But even if you collect all the money and have nowhere to lend, it will be useless."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I have my own way."

While talking, Zhao Da and Zhang Wu and others came to the hall and gave Lin Yanchao a wink.

Lin Yanchao then asked Chen Xinggui and Qiu Mingshan to retreat first.

Zhao Da and Zhang Wu and others walked towards Lin Yanchao, and the imperial envoy had arrived.

Lin Yachao asked, "Where is the imperial envoy now?"

“It’s right at the back door.”

Lin Yanchao immediately went out to greet him.

But Qiu Wei was in his seventies, wearing a nearly faded green robe, standing outside the door with only two servants beside him.

Lin Yanchao saluted and said, "The lower official Lin Yanchao has met Du Xian."

Qiu Wei glanced at Lin Yanchao from the corner of his eyes, and then said, "Go in and speak first."

Several people went to the side hall.

Qiu Shi said: "I came to investigate the case in a low-court. You need to remind them inside and outside, so that they can keep their words strictly and not make them speak out."

"I dare to ask where Do Xian lives?"

"Benxian lives in your house. If anyone asks, it will be said that it is your new teacher."

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but complain that the right censor was a master, and he was really a talent. Lin Yanchao said, "The subordinates obeyed the order."

Qiu Wei paused and said, "Who else has read that letter except you?"

"Reporting to Du Xian, there is no second person."

Qiu Shi said happily: "Okay, what do you have to do with this case?"

"The officials are in charge of everything."

Qiu Shi heard this and said, "You are also appointed by Your Majesty to assist in the investigation of the case. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it."

"The officials are young and have no experience as officials. Everything depends on the advice of the adults."

Qiu Wei nodded and thought to himself, this son is quite tactful and does not rely on His Majesty’s trust. Shen Shixing supports him and interferes with my handling of this case.

Qiu Wei hated evil the most in his life. When he handled Zhang Juzheng's case, he thought that he was the prime minister but did not keep his integrity. He was actually a corrupt official. Although he only copied 200,000 taels, he did not think he was wrong.

He is now old, but he is getting stronger. He heard that the censor was killed and involved in the case of corruption in Hegong. This time he was determined to hold a major case and kill corrupt officials.

Seeing that Lin Yanchao was exposed as his horse's head, Qiu Wei nodded and said, "I'm tired," and asked Lin Yanchao to come to see him the next day.

After Lin Yanchao returned to the hall, he instructed Chen Jichuan to entertain him well, not to be simple and slow, but not to be extravagant.

The next day, Lin Yanchao rose up and came to see Qiu Wei early, but saw him having breakfast.

Qiu Wei is so honest that everyone knows that he can drink millet porridge all night.

Qiu Wei nodded when he saw Lin Yanchao, his attitude was a little gentler than yesterday.

Qiu Wei drank the millet porridge in one sip and said to Lin Yanchao: "The road was short yesterday, so I didn't ask in detail. Benxian inspected Henan under the order. Lin Sima thought that Guide Mansion was restored to its old appearance, so what was difficult?"

Lin Yanchao said without thinking: "It is about river engineering, the Yellow River will not be managed, the people's houses and land will not be protected, and those who have no constant property will not be persistent."

"For example, after this flood, the houses in several counties were left without harvesting the fields. Now that spring is coming, the people do not even have seeds to farm. In our destiny, the land is so cheap that it is only two taels of silver per acre, and a bag of rice can be sold for a maid."

"In the year of great disasters, it is the year when the poor and powerful merge the land and the common people sell their children and daughters."

Lin Yanchao's words made Qiu Wei nod slightly and thought to himself. Lin Yanchao has only been in the past few months since he came to be a virtue, so he has understood the local people's sentiments. This person was born in Hanlin, but he is much better than the poet who only knows how to write articles. He is really talented, no wonder His Majesty attaches great importance to this son.

Qiu Shi sighed, "This is also the worldly love."

Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, Du Xian, if you want to stop the people from selling their children and daughters and sell their homeland at a low price, you have to pay a sum of money to supplement the money. When the harvest this year is good, you can recover. But the court can only barely take out disaster relief grain now, so where can you have money to supplement the people."

"If it weren't for the Heming Bank allocated by the court, it would have been less than 70% of it, and the officials would have planned to lend the money to the people."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that he had said this, it depends on whether Qiu Wei could understand it.

Qiu Wei showed a deep thoughtful look and suddenly said, "Sima Lin, I think you can lend the free He ICBC to the people with two interest."

"Two cents of profits are low interest, far better than the usury loans of private money houses. This money is thirsty for the people to temporarily relieve the urgent needs of the people. After the summer tax is paid in June this year, the people will return the money, together with the principal and interest, and then use it for the river engineering."

Lin Yanchao pretended to be surprised and happy when he heard this, saying, "Du Xian is really awesome! Could this be Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law?"

Qiu Wei saw that he thought about this wonderful method, but he said proudly: "Indeed, although the Qingmiao method cannot be used for a long time, it is feasible as a stopgap measure. It not only saves the people, but also allows He ICBC to not have to be vacant."

Lin Yanchao said again: "Duxian is really superior to the officials. It is just a Qingmiao law that is a reform move, and this method is suspected of embezzling official silver."

Qiu Shi shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid of it as a matter of interest. As long as it is a matter that benefits the people, what if you lose your black hat?"

"Benxian decides this for you. If you have something to do in the future, let them find Benxian."

Lin Yanchao got Qiu Wei's words and felt very calm now. If someone pursued this matter in the future, he said that he had misappropriated the official currency, and Qiu Wei would also be responsible for him.

Although Lin Yanchao knew that Qiu Wei wanted to win over, this time he had already accepted his love.

Seeing Lin Yanchao's expression, Qiu Shi thought that the charge of embezzling official silver was much lighter than embezzling warehouse grain, which could be adapted. He used this to win over Lin Yanchao in advance, so he would not be afraid that he would not work hard for himself in investigating the case.

Qiu Wei thought about it and reminded him: "However, the Qingmiao Law in the Song Dynasty was very controversial, and it was even called a law that harmed the country. The reason was that local officials were improperly implemented, so you need to remember this."

Lin Yanchao said: "I remember it."

Qiu Wei didn't know that the Qingmiao Falin Yanchao did not intend to let the government come forward, but planned to use his money house to do it.

Speaking of this, Qiu Shi said, "Sima Lin, when you gave advice, I thought you were a member of Zhang Juzhengzhi. Later, Benxian searched the Zhang family and found that you and Taizai Yan did not bribe Zhang Juzheng. Only then did you know your character."

"But Zhang Juzheng is a traitor, and you should not be wrong in front of big troubles."
