Green Sprouts Law
The Green Sprouts Law (qingmiao fa) was a measure of the New Policies introduced by the Song reformer Wang Anshi in the eleventh century. It provided state loans to farmers during the planting season, to be repaid after harvest, intended to free peasants from private moneylenders and raise state revenue. It became a focus of controversy in Song Dynasty governance.
