On the issue of the implementation of green seedlings, Lin Zhao is very strict and resolute; Cai Jing was very embarrassed and turned a blind eye, but the other officials in Hangzhou were a different matter.

The time has entered April and May of the third year of Xining, the weather is gradually getting hotter, and the summer harvest has begun. A lot of green seedling money has been released from all over the country, and they are all waiting for the settlement after the summer harvest!

In Hangzhou, the atmosphere is particularly tense.

Because of the continuous rain in the autumn of last year, the autumn plowing and autumn planting have been delayed, and the sowing situation may not be normal enough. Therefore, the situation of this year's summer harvest in Hangzhou must be pitiful, and the poor harvest is certain.

However, the return of the Seedlings Money is indeed an out-and-out big problem, especially in the first year of the implementation of the Seedlings Law, which has attracted special attention. What's more, this is a recovery of principal and interest, and officials at all levels are particularly concerned about profits, so no one dares to be sloppy.

It stands to reason that the interest of 20% seems to be a lot, but compared with those big landlords, the situation is still better, and the people can afford it. The Seedlings Law itself is still very favorable, and Wang Anshi is full of expectations for this, hoping that this move will not help but curb the problem of land annexation and increase fiscal revenue.

If you think very well, it will be difficult to implement, especially in Hangzhou, which suffered a flood last year and the grain harvest was obviously poor, this problem has become more and more acute.

The people have survived the most difficult times with the relief food and seedling money from the state and county, but in fact, the most difficult day has not yet come.

Because seeing that Xia received it, he could finally harvest a small amount of grain, but before he had time to rejoice, it was time to return the grain to the imperial court, and it was with interest.

If it was a good year, it wouldn't be nothing, but now ...... Everything is different!

For the relatively wealthy Yin Shi family, it may not matter if it is not tight, and it will be over if you grit your teeth, but for ordinary people, it is a bit fatal.

Once the grain is returned, they will face a lack of food rations before the autumn harvest, and their lives will still be unsustainable.

But the magistrates of the imperial court didn't care so much about him, they cared more about their own political achievements, and the grain released had to be recovered. So this kind of coercive means are used, after all, it is natural to repay debts and recover food, and what can you do if the magistrate does this?

What's more, in that era, how could ordinary people fight the government? In desperation, they had no choice but to hand over the food, and their lives fell into misery again.

This feeling of a big gap is really uncomfortable! Just gave them hope, and in an instant destroyed their hope, forcing them into a desperate situation, who can feel better?

As a result, these people began to complain, and they were even more disdainful and dissatisfied with the so-called Qingmiao Law of the imperial court, and all kinds of negative emotions began to brew and erupt. When they first gave them money and food, they were full of joy, but now, it was a different feeling.

There is also a group of people who have no intention of borrowing money from the government. Because their family background is also solid, they can get through the current difficulties.

But because some officials of the imperial court, in order to pursue political achievements, forcibly apportioned, you have to borrow if you don't borrow! The government's idea is very good, these solid homes, after borrowing, can be repaid, do not have to worry about the recovery of the time, the profit is completely guaranteed, and there is no need to pay more, such a good thing The magistrate is naturally willing to take shortcuts.

As a result, the figures on the accounts implemented by the Qingmiao Law are very objective, but for these ordinary people who are forced to share, it is very depressing. They don't need to borrow money and grain, and when the harvest is over, all the grain is their own. But now, they have to lose 20% of their interest money for no reason. After a year of hard work, 20% of the money is given out like this, which one can feel better?

They didn't know that this was a reckless and distorted execution by the local government, and they all believed that the newly introduced Seedlings Law was the victim.

Wang Anshi would never have thought that the well-intentioned Qingmiao Fa with such a perfect design would become like this, and the people would be miserable, and the folk reputation would be extremely bad! Even resentment and boycott, which have been bred from the very beginning!

Of course, the most painful should belong to the upper class. According to the provisions of the Seedlings Law, five or ten households are guaranteed by one guarantee, among which the wealthy upper class households act as guarantors and act as guarantors for the people who borrow money. The original intention of the imperial court is very clear, to help each other, if the borrower is unable to repay, there is still a guarantor, so that the money and grain released will not be recovered.

This provision was set very unreasonable from the beginning. But Wang Anshi didn't realize it, and directly ignored the surname, and directly ignored the dissatisfaction and opposition of the upper class.

After the summer harvest, it is time to collect the debt.

On the ground of Hangzhou, because of the famine, many people could not afford to repay the principal and interest of the green seedlings. Some are because there is not much left after the return, so they deliberately delay or lack of flowers. Of course, there is also a part of deliberate malicious delay.

The ordinary people who borrow money are very scattered, and it is time-consuming, laborious, and thankless to recover the principal and interest from these people. Where are the magistrates willing to spend this effort, and the urging from above is relatively tight, for the sake of convenience, all of them are aimed at those high-class households who are guarantors.

However, this practice is completely unjustified for these high-class households. They didn't borrow a penny, a grain of rice, but they had to pay so much for no reason, and the boss must be unwilling in their hearts.

Where are the magistrates willing to reason with them more, because with the existence of guarantees, it is completely possible to forcibly recover money and grain. These innocent high-class families can only deserve to be unlucky, so they pay a lot of money and food. The government also politely left a sentence for them to go to the people who owed money to collect the debts.

The government can be unreasonable and can use coercive means, but what about ordinary people? Let these high-class households collect their debts, and they may be able to recover some of them, but most of the time they become bad debts. Some people are reluctant to return it, and some people can't afford to return it seriously.

The upper class households are destined to suffer losses for no reason, and in their eyes, the Qingmiao Law is completely a plundering of them, which makes them hate it.

So from the very beginning, the common people were malicious to the Seedlings Law and were very disgusted. But what's the use of being disgusted? Their opinions were directly dispelled in the gust of wind!

Hangzhou Zhizhou Zhao Luan's expression was very solemn, before this he was not very optimistic about the Qingmiao Method, and when he was in Bianjing, he opposed it with Sima Guang and others. He left Bianjing and came to serve as the governor of Hangzhou, which has something to do with it.

Even so, he didn't realize how serious the harm of the Seedlings Method would be. But now, when I saw it with my own eyes, I deeply realized that the situation was far beyond imagination.

Now he understands that Sima Guang's worries are not bad at all, and his persistence is not wrong. The content of the BIBS law may be very good, but as many people fear, there are many problems in its implementation.

Six of Hangzhou's eight counties are already in disarray, with the exception of Qiantang and Yuhang, which are slightly better.

The best situation is in Qiantang County, where Lin Zhao can almost say that he has not implemented the distribution of seedling money at all. Instead, it was replaced by a model of disaster relief grain and shops plus farmers.

At this moment, the summer harvest in Qiantang County is going on normally, and as for the people who should have borrowed, they are now planting cotton wholeheartedly! Lin Zhao asked those big cannibals to guide a group of cotton planting experts, and then spread the planting skills to various villages.

Seeing that the cotton leaves in the field were growing green, and the green fruits had appeared, some people curiously opened them and found that they were really not yet ripe fluff, and they were really inedible.

But it doesn't matter, these never-before-seen crops can't be eaten, but they are paid. The Meng Clan had already paid him half of the grain in advance, so that they could survive the most difficult times in peace, and they were definitely happier than the people of other counties.

As for the remaining part, it will be paid separately after the cotton is picked in the fall. Half of the deposit was paid, and the amount of money was so large that these people were completely reassured. All of them studied with the technicians very carefully, tended the crops in the fields, and waited only for the autumn to receive additional money and food.

Therefore, the people of Qiantang County are definitely the happiest, and they are unparalleled happiness. Relatively speaking, Lin Zhao's pressure seems to be the least. However, Lin Zhao was not comfortable in his heart, and he did not have the slightest happiness because of this, because he witnessed the situation in the entire Hangzhou.

All kinds of forcible apportionment, all kinds of inauthentic behaviors, as well as the reactions and adverse effects of the people, Lin Zhao completely saw it. I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, and when he observed and understood, he didn't mention how uncomfortable it was.

Although all this seemed to have nothing to do with him, Lin Zhao felt a different kind of disappointment in his heart. That's right, disappointed!

After being reborn, he has always had a lot of interest in Wang Anshi, that is, he expects that Wang Anshi's changes can make the country strong and free from foreign invasions, so that he will die, especially to avoid the sad shame of Jingkang.

So he has been trying his best to help Wang Anshi, give more support, and even be identified as a member of the New Party because of various circumstances. In fact, Lin Zhao is indeed more inclined to the new law, and has paid a lot for it.

But today, Lin Zhao's thoughts began to waver a little, the reality was so cruel, and the blow to him was not a big one!

A different kind of loss rose in my heart, and I began to be a little disappointed!

Will the famous Wang Anshi's reform fail from the beginning? Maybe it was because I didn't know well before, and I didn't have a little defense, but now?

Do you want to sit idly by and let the changes continue in such a twisted way? Lin Zhao felt that maybe he should do something.
