錢樾，字黼棠，浙江嘉善人。 Qian Yue, whose style was Futang, came from Jiashan in Zhejiang.

上聞之，解平恕任，以樾代，至則先复諸生名，僅坐首事者三人，士民稱慶。 When the emperor learned of this he removed Pingshu and sent Yue in his place; on arrival Yue first restored the students' standing and punished only three ringleaders, to the joy of scholars and townspeople alike.

時南河邵壩決口，瓜、儀私梟充斥，為閭閻害，命樾密訪以聞。 The Shao dam on the Southern Canal had burst, smugglers infested Guazhou and Yizhen and preyed on the people, and Yue was ordered to investigate in secret and report.

復調吏部，九年，坐失察書吏舞弊，以告病治中趙曰濂虛選運同，降內閣學士，樾上疏置辯，議革職，加恩賜編修。 He returned to the Ministry of Personnel; in the ninth year he was demoted to grand secretary for failing to detect clerical fraud in which Zhao Yuelian of the Bureau of Transmission had falsely appointed a transport intendant while claiming illness. Yue memorialized in his defense; though dismissal was recommended, the throne showed mercy and allowed him to serve as a compiler.

論曰：萬承風、周系英、錢樾以侍從之臣，軺車所至，建白卓然。 The commentator writes: As attendant ministers, Wan Chengfeng, Zhou Xiying, and Qian Yue made outstanding proposals wherever their inspection tours took them.
