時議折漕以資治河，鴻賓疏言徵收折色，弊竇叢生，莫若令民間完交本色，由州縣賣米易銀，轉解河工，詔以易啟抑勒捏價、加收平色諸弊，未允行。 At the time there was debate on converting tribute grain to fund river works. Li Hongbin memorialized that collecting commuted payments bred many abuses and that it would be better to have the people pay in kind, with districts and counties selling grain for silver to remit to river works. An edict held that this would easily breed extortion, forced prices, and added surcharges, and the proposal was rejected.
