Li Xuan asked people to pack up the evidence, and then began to send people to monitor some key personnel.

Soon, with the arrival of the imperial army, Li Xuan first held a banquet, inviting the county guards, nobles and officials at all levels of the entire Tancheng to attend the banquet, and then took advantage of the fact that everyone was here to hold the banquet, and directly captured these people.

At the same time, after the arrival of the army outside the city, they directly blocked the city, and then surrounded several government offices, mansions and manors of noble officials.

"Li Xuan, you are bold, you dare to imprison the imperial court officials and noble officials!"

"You are offended this time, but for the sake of the great cause of the court, this official has to do this, the evidence has been delivered to the capital, as for what the consequences are for you, it depends on what you do." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to these people and turned around and left directly.

Without the interference of these people, the court moved very quickly, and all those petty officials were arrested and interrogated. Soon, the paperwork for the BIBS loan was clarified.

These documents were all distributed by the officials above, and these officials were allowed to operate according to the normal process, but the money and grain lent out in the end were not given to the people, but were taken away by the nobles and heroes in the city.

Originally, these money and food were not returned by those people, but by those powerful and noble. These borrowing documents are used to make accounts and give an account to the above.

After all, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the Qingmiao loan is first and foremost to face the ordinary people, and there is a limit for the powerful and noble to borrow money. And these people want to borrow more money and food, so they use this way.

Look at the IOUs are ordinary people's loans, but in fact, they are all borrowed by these nobles and heroes. And in order to reduce the people's borrowing, the guarantor was deliberately used to card those people.

The people did not have a suitable guarantor, so they could not borrow the green seedlings loan at all. Then these young seedlings were borrowed by the nobles and the powerful, and these nobles and the powerful would borrow the money and grain and then lend them to the ordinary people on the condition of nine out of thirteen.

The money and grain were issued by the imperial court, and then lent to the people, and they directly obtained more than forty percent of the income, and when the people repaid the money, they directly returned the money and grain to the imperial court.

It can be said that these nobles, heroes, and eunuchs did not spend a dime, and they earned at least thirty percent of the profit after only changing hands once. The loans given by the imperial court are for one year, while the loans for the nobles and powerful are only for six months.

That is to say, for a sum of money, these nobles and powerful officials can lend twice, and the final income may reach as much as seventy percent, a perfect empty glove white wolf.

And these nobles lent not only to the common people, but also to the artisans, small merchants, and other people in the city. Because ordinary people have no connections and do not have enough collateral, they cannot find a guarantor and cannot borrow green seedlings loans.

Then these green seedlings were easily borrowed by those well-connected nobles, heroes, and eunuchs, and then they were loaned to the people who needed them.

The imperial court allocated a large amount of money and grain every year, originally to provide convenience to the people, make the people's lives better, and reduce the pressure. But these young loans were loaned to those nobles, and then changed hands to usury.

In the end, instead of helping the people to reduce their burden, they were taken advantage of by the nobles, heroes, and eunuchs to make a lot of money.

For the officials of the Sinong Yamen, lending these green seedlings to the people, not to mention the tedious work, and it is also troublesome to recover the loans, but handing over these loans to those nobles is not only easy and fast, but also convenient when recovering them, without worrying about bad debts, and even sharing a lot of benefits. Why not? It's simply a win-win.

If it weren't for a common man who suddenly ran to take out a loan for Qingmiao, and someone happened to vouch for him, no one would have noticed these transactions.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, the green seedling loan here in Tancheng is so good that it is second to none in all parts of the country, how can the imperial court not pay attention, plus they are unlucky.

With enough manpower, the inventory becomes very simple. Intrigue works only in the dark, and once it is under the sun, it has no effect.

The imperial court carried out the liquidation of these officials, as well as the nobles, official eunuchs, and Haoqiang, very quickly, after all, there was already a complete set of family raiding processes. Tens of thousands of people were exiled from their homes, and then some were sent to Rakurang-gun, and some were sent overseas to Ryukyu Island and Fuso Island.

It is very simple to clean up these people, but the problem of continuing to give seedlings to the people is still not solved.

It's like collateral and guarantor, if the imperial court cancels it, and a large amount of money and grain cannot be recovered, what should I do if the imperial court loses a lot of money and grain every year?

The green seedling loan was issued by the imperial court, but since the issuance of this fund, it has rarely been subsidized again, and it is completely self-financing. The imperial court did not expect to make money, but it could not let the imperial court lose money.

But the current situation is almost an unsolvable problem in this day and age. The Confucian solution is to raise the moral standards of officials, so that officials can be impartial, just and fair, and never bend the law for personal gain. It may seem like a simple requirement, but it's hard to do.

Everyone has selfish intentions, even those who are famous and famous, they still have their own selfishness. If you want to make all officials public and selfless, you basically can't do it. Although it is not excluded that some officials can do it, ninety percent of officials cannot do it.

Although the imperial court can barely do it, it will also cause officials to try to do as little as possible in order to prevent mistakes, after all, it is not good to do less and make fewer mistakes. But this is contrary to the original intention of the imperial court.

Other Mohists and Taoists have their own solutions, but they don't work either.

After seeing this, the royal family finally decided to use the methods of Legalism and Confucianism, on the one hand, to restrain by law, and on the other hand, by morality. As for whether it can succeed, the imperial court does not know. It's just that the development of Confucianism is getting better and better.

With the development of the times, even the imperial court still attached importance to Legalism, but Confucianism also began to play an increasingly important role in the Great Qian's court. In the school palace, the scholars of Confucianism and Legalism have gradually equalized.

The imperial court immigrated to the frontiers in large numbers to alleviate the population pressure on the Central Plains, and at the same time used these exiles to open up the wilderness. Then, after a few decades, after the development of this wild land matures, the imperial court will increase immigration and vigorously develop it, and incorporate it into the Zhuxia civilization.

It seems like a benign development, but there are a lot of casualties to develop the Wild Lands, and how many people are willing to go? Now the development of the imperial court can no longer keep up with the growth of the population, and the problem will become bigger and bigger with the passage of time.
