After a brief discussion with several ministers, Wang Yi finally decided to send an inspector of the imperial history and embroidered clothes to Tancheng.

Tancheng is located in Qingzhou near Xuzhou, the Spring and Autumn Period was the capital of the Tan State, after the fall of the Tan State, it became a county seat. It's just that Tancheng has always been a county because of its fertile land and convenient transportation.

At this time, it was the begging festival, and the streets were very lively, several horse-drawn carriages were loaded with silk and lanterns, and many servants were hanging along the streets. The world has been peaceful for more than 100 years, the imperial court has not expropriated and expropriated, and all parts of the country have prospered, which is already a rare prosperous scene.

Every festival, the heroes, nobles, and eunuchs from all over the country will hold some lantern festivals and take out some food to give to the people. It doesn't cost much and you can still get a good name, so why not?

"Tsk, this Tanxian Hou is really generous, this scale, I'm afraid it's not going to be hundred."

"Master Hou of Tanxian County is really compassionate, he puts grain every year during the festival, hurry up and let the mother-in-law at home go to get food, if you go late, you won't be able to get it!"

"There is also the Zhang family, the Zhang family has also released grain this year, hurry up."

Li Xuan's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and then he beckoned, called the store and asked, "Shopkeeper, are there those nobles in this Tancheng who release grain every year?" ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's not every year, since the year before, some nobles have started to put grain." ”

"How much food do they put in each house?"

"Usually a family has one liter of corn, enough to eat for two days, and when it comes to green and yellow, it can suffer for a few more days."

"I've heard that many of your people here have borrowed green seedlings loans? Isn't it enough to have a BIBS loan? ”

"Hehe, the guest officer laughed, how did this Qingmiao loan turn Xiaomin?" The shopkeeper said casually.

"Didn't the imperial court say that the Qingmiao loan was for the people to take out loans? Why can't people get loans? ”

"Yes, you can take out a loan, but you also have to have a guarantor, Your Majesty is merciful and convenient for the people, but you also want the people to be able to pay it back, right?" The shopkeeper smiled ingeniously, but his mouth was not honest. Although Li Xuan saw it, he didn't expose it, and said in passing.

"That's true, but where do the people borrow from?"

"Our big cadre has the protection of King Wen, and if the wind and rain are smooth, why do we need to borrow every year." The shopkeeper said.

The moon fell, but the city was getting more and more jubilant. This is one of the few days in Tancheng that does not have a curfew, and it is naturally lively.

On both sides of the street, there are flowers and trees, and there are thousands of lanterns. Pedestrians are crowded, cheers are thundering, and various vendors are on both sides of the street.

A burst of gongs and drums came, and then I saw a team of people and horses carrying various statues of gods, followed by dragon dances, fire-breathing, and stilt walking, the scene was very lively.

Li Xuan looked at all this in front of him, under this prosperity, I don't know how many people were knocked out of the bones. Although he only knew it briefly during the day, he had already discovered a lot of things just for this.

Early the next morning, Li Xuan went directly to the villages outside the city to inspect, as an inspector of the imperial history, naturally he couldn't just look at it on the surface. The best way to know the truth is to go to the countryside.

Li Xuan disguised himself as a merchant and went to the countryside with his entourage, and at about noon, he came to a village. He didn't need to do anything, and soon villagers came to ask for the price.

Li Xuan asked his entourage to sell those goods, while he sat under the big tree at the head of the village and listened to the chatter of the people.

Most of these people talk about the short things of the parents, or whose sheep have given birth, whose children have a future after entering the city, and whose family has just gotten married.

Just as he was listening to everyone's chatter, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran back to the village, and before he entered the village, he shouted loudly, "Village chief, the village chief is not good, it is not good."

"Old Han's family, what are you shouting? What's wrong? The village chief shouted dissatisfied.

The man hurriedly ran over, and before he had time to catch his breath, he said: "Village chief, no, huhu, it's Qingqingmiao"

"Seedlings Loan?" The village chief asked.

"That's right, it's BIBS!"

"What happened to the BIBS Loan?"

"Isn't my son married? The family spent a bit too much, so I wanted to borrow some green seedlings, but when I went to the Sinong Yamen to borrow money, they told me that I had already borrowed it. ”

"Borrowed?" The village chief is very different, after all, if you want to borrow a loan from Qingmiao, you still need to prove it from him, the village head, and this Han San has no loan, he knows it very well.

"Yes, it's not just me, I've asked other people in the village."

"The result?" The village chief asked.

"I've borrowed them all!" Han San said angrily.

"What!"

"What!" The surrounding villagers exclaimed in amazement when they heard it.

"No way, I've never borrowed a BIB!"

"yes, I haven't borrowed it either!" For a while, many villagers seemed to have exploded.

"No, I'm going to ask!"

"I'll go too!"

"Go! Go! ”

Li Xuan, who was next to him, heard everyone's words, but didn't say anything, but silently followed behind everyone. After about an hour, the villagers finally arrived at the Si Nong Yamen.

Seeing these villagers coming here, the officials of Sinong Yamen thought that they were here to borrow Qingmiao loans, and sent people to receive them, but after some inquiry, they learned that these people actually came to ask if they had not borrowed Qingmiao loans!

Several officials rolled their eyes when they heard this, and they didn't take out a loan for Qingmiao, don't you know it yourself? However, when I saw so many people, I finally sent someone to check it. When the results came out, several officials found that all the villagers had already borrowed money.

"Haven't you all borrowed money yet? Why are you here? The farmer asked.

"Si Nong, we didn't borrow the Seedlings loan at all, why do we have a record that we have borrowed the Seedlings loan?"

"None? This white and black characters are clearly written, in the fourth winter of Daqian Jianxing, you Han Bao borrowed a green seedling loan, three stones of corn, three silver coins, and an annual interest rate, and you will have to repay the money by this autumn, and you tell me now that you didn't borrow money? Si Nong's face changed, and he spoke directly.

"The court gave you Qingmiao a loan, to reduce the pressure on you, not to let you act recklessly!"

"If you dare not pay back, your own government will come to your door at that time."

"We didn't borrow a loan from Qingmiao at all, you are framed, I will sue you!"

"Yes, we're going to sue you!" The people shouted, and the people in the surrounding streets stopped to watch when they heard it.

Seeing so many people, Si Nong's face changed slightly, and then said: "Since you said that there is no loan, then good, you show the evidence that there is no loan, if the evidence is true, the official will go to the county guard to revoke the Qingmiao loan of Er, if not, then pay back the money yourself!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were thinking about how to prove that they didn't borrow Qingmiao loans, Li Xuan frowned slightly, he had seen a lot of this official's tricks, and immediately said: "How can these villagers prove that they haven't borrowed Qingmiao loans?" If you take out the loan documents and look at them, they have their signatures on them, and if they don't, they are fake. ”

"If you have to prove that you have not borrowed a loan from Qingmiao, they have no IOU in their hands, and they have no witnesses, how can they prove it?"

"If they do this, then after they prove that they did not take out a loan from BIB, do they have to prove that he is himself? Absurd! ”

"Yes, you take out the IOU paperwork, and we will confront each other on the spot!"

"That's right! Confront each other on the spot! The crowd shouted.

PS: It's too late to go home, so I'll be on a shift today.
