A government office.

Fu Zhiyuan's face looked a little solemn, and asked Lin Yanchao, who was heading down, "Is this silt field really sold for nearly 100,000 taels?"

Fu Zhiyuan asked Lin Yanchao with suspicion.

This is 100,000 taels of silver! For Fu Zhiyuan, the main hall of the mansion, it is still astronomical.

Lin Yanchao replied calmly: "The Mansion is actually more than just one hundred thousand taels."

Fu Zhiyuan couldn't sit still anymore and asked again: "More than 100,000 taels?"

"Yes, almost 105,000 taels are like this. They are all cash-in-money and are all placed in the treasury. There is no shortage. Please check it out."

After being shocked, Fu Zhiyuan, with his long beard hanging down to his chest, seemed to digest the number reported by Lin Yanchao in his stomach, and then said, "Too many."

Lin Yanchao thought he hadn't heard clearly, so there were too many things.

The prefect actually thought he had collected too much money?

In fact, if it weren't for Guide's poverty, Lin Yanchao refused to sell his household registration and was not in his home, and he refused to lend money to the wealthy families of his home.

In Kaifeng, the price of this silt field is at least four taels of silver.

Lin Yanchao was not sold for three taels, which was really a "short sale". However, Fu Gong did not blame Lin Yanchao for selling cheaply, but said it was expensive.

"The construction of water conservancy is the responsibility of the government. The court allocated 50,000 Lianghe ICBC, just to use it on the people, and did not ask us to return it to the Ministry of Revenue and the River Dock Office in the future."

"You have not only given the Ministry of Revenue a lot of money to get back a penny of 50,000 taels of silver, but also earned 30,000 taels from the common people. This matter is really a matter of no end. Except for our government, which official is willing to believe it?"

Fu Zhiyuan said that Lin Yanchao was "speakless".

Is it really a huge amount of money to spend a lot of money? The Yellow River is still flooding and the people are living in poverty. This is called river management?

It costs no money to pay for yourself. The river is in peace, and all the people and governments will benefit. The officials don’t believe it, thinking that you are expending heavy taxes.

Lin Yanchao is almost vomiting three liters of blood!

But then again, this is also a gap between modern people and ancient people.

In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty officials, it is natural to build water conservancy for the people and irrigate farmland.

Unless normal taxes are imposed on the people, the court should not charge the people other money.

For example, Song Feng, a famous local minister in Guide, once said these words.

Someone suggested that there were treasures in a certain place and they could be sold to the country to increase their income. Song Xuan replied that the court would rather save money and grain for a long time than use it, than to make the search without any surplus. The master knew that the material resources were full of envy, and then he would be extravagant.

Song Feng's view seems very pedantic.

But this was politically correct at the time. Ministers all believed that the court should not find a way to collect money from the people. As long as the taxes are sufficient and the court can be maintained, they should give benefits to the people.

This is what Confucius said, "Who is the king or the lack of the people? Who is the king or the lack of the people? Who is the king or the lack of the people?"

This is the idea that Confucianism has rich people and rich people all over the world.

So why so many people scolded Wang Anshi's reform? One of the reasons is that the ministers like Sima Guang, who are well-mannered, Wang Anshi's trick is a different way of plundering people's wealth.

Of course, this view cannot be wrong, and it is simple and noble.

Lin Yanchao said immediately: "When Wang Anshi talked about the Qingmiao Law in the past, the whole country opposed it and felt that the court should not accept the benefits of the people."

"However, Wang Anshi said that if he didn't have two points, he would have one point, and if he didn't have one point, he would have to lend him. If he didn't have one point, he would have to get two points. Why? Because he would have to be unsustainable in the future, I beg the mansion to understand clearly!"

Fu Zhiyuan was not convinced by Lin Yanchao and asked, "You said that you have opened more than 600 hectares of land, but the silted fields by the river are no different from those on the beach. What if the river channel changes? Also, will the old Bai farming in the dike? Will it hurt the root of the dike?"

Lin Yanchao said: "Don't worry, the creek is bound to the river from the distance, and cultivate it with silt land. After the Panhe River is governed by the river, the Bai family in the lower reaches has been in charge. It has been several years since then, and I have never heard of anything wrong. Instead, the people in the creek will spontaneously consolidate the creek and bind the river channel."

"I am a riverside by Guide and dare not divert water. People have been suffering. Some people have long proposed to build silted fields like Jiangnan pierries, but the government has no money to organize them (see Guide Mansion Records). The silted fields in this dike are even more wishful for the people. As for Jiangnan pierries, they are built by lakes, and the Yellow River is like it. They are plundering during the flood season, but they are very tame on weekdays."

After hearing Lin Yanchao's explanation, Fu Zhiyuan found that when Pan Ji was busying the river, the people in the lower reaches had already done this. Then he calmed down and said, "Then you must also follow the laws of Pan Hetai and instruct the people to build houses on the embankment, not in the silted fields. No farming is allowed in the embankment from April to September every year. If the people suffer any damage, you and I are sinners!"

Lin Yanchao heard this and Zhifu Zhiyuan was still willing to adapt. He was very happy and said, "Yes, the official will tell someone to draft the article."

Lin Yanchao was still a little worried when he saw Fu Zhiyuan.

Lin Yanchao understood that it was like being used to living a poor life and suddenly spending a sum of money in front of him, he could not adapt to it. First of all, think about whether it was the wrong way.

Not to mention the 100,000 taels, this one hundred thousand taels is a huge sum of money for individuals, but to the poor Guide Mansion!

Lin Yanchao said: "Futai, we can also take this money from the people and use it for the people. As long as the accounts are clear and we have a clear conscience."

Fu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Don't we know that you have made contributions to the river management. Not only are the people happy, but you also benefit from the powerful. But you are so jealous of others."

Lin Yanchao knew Fu Zhiyuan’s thoughts and said, “Don’t worry, the officials will go to the province to handle some things.”

Fu Zhiyuan frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"

Lin Yanchao said: "In addition to selling the silted fields in the dike to the people and used as official fields, there are still many left. The officials plan to send them to the province, and the government is also the same. If there is no hurry to collect the land rent, the silted fields will be sold in two years, and then it will never be only one acre and three taels."

Fu Zhiyuan was a little angry when he heard this, "What a Lin Sanyuan, you have already planned it. I asked you, how much do you plan to handle for me?"

Lin Yanchao was silent for a long time, and then said, "If it weren't for this, the silt field would probably not be preserved."

After Lin Yanchao returned to the Hegongya, the first thing he told Sun Chengzong and the others was to tell the counties not to sell the silted fields.

Sun Chengzong, Qiu Mingshan and the others were shocked. The first thing they thought was whether Lin Yanchao had just gone to the government office and was opposed by Fu Zhiyuan.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I have always been dedicated to the river craftsmanship alone, and the Mansion Office is quite supportive of this matter."

"Then why is the sale stopped? For this silted field, the common people will buy it even if they borrow money?" the officials asked in confusion.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "That's why you can't sell it anymore. Everyone knows that silting fields are cheap, but the people of our province are in poverty and spend all their efforts to buy land. Where can I get any money around you?"

Then Lin Yanchao asked Qiu Mingshan: "Have all these silted fields been compiled?"

Qiu Mingshan said: "It's being built, it takes less than a few days."

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Very good. After the book is made, let the people from the government office go to Beijing and send it to the Ministry of Revenue immediately."

Seeing Lin Yanchao's face serious, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but ask: "Why is Sima so anxious?"

Lin Yanchao said: "It's nothing, there are no preparations. There are probably many people who have the idea of ​​these 600 hectares of silt fields."
