攸銛採其議,改灶鹽,節浮費,濬河道,增屯船,緝場私、鄰私之出入,禁江船、漕船之夾帶,及清查庫款,督運淮北諸條,疏陳待施行,會詔捕鹽梟巨魁黃玉林,鳳生計招出首,責緝私贖罪。 Jiang Youxian adopted his proposals—reforming furnace salt, cutting waste, dredging waterways, adding transport vessels, cracking down on field and cross-border smuggling, banning contraband on river and grain boats, auditing treasury funds, and tightening north-of-Huai transport—and memorialized the package for implementation. When the throne ordered the capture of the salt-smuggling kingpin Huang Yulin, Fengsheng devised a plan to induce the chief culprit to surrender and required him to hunt smugglers in exchange for clemency.
鳳生以仕為學,尤篤好圖誌,成浙西水利圖說備考、河北采風錄、江淮河運圖、漢江紀程、江漢宣防備考、淮南北場河運鹽走私道路圖,每吏一方,必能指畫其形勢,與所宜興革。 Fengsheng treated public service as his school of learning and was devoted to maps and local gazetteers, producing works such as Investigative Notes on Western Zhejiang Waterworks, Hebei Customs Record, Jiang-Huai River Transport Atlas, Han River Journey, Jiang-Han Flood-Control Notes, and maps of salt-smuggling routes on the Huai; in every post he could sketch the terrain and spell out what ought to be changed.
