Biography
徐问，武进人。
明史卷二百一 列传第八十九：
徐问，字用中，武进人。弘治十五年进士。授广平推官。迁刑部主事，历兵部，出为登州知府。地滨海多盗，问尽捕之。调临江。修筑坏堤七十二。转长芦盐运使。运司故利薮，自好者不乐居。问曰：“吾欲清是官也。”终任不取一钱。累迁广东左布政使。
嘉靖十一年以治行卓异，拜右副都御史，巡抚贵州。独山州贼蒙钺弑父为乱。问闻南丹、泗城欲助逆，檄广西抚按伐其谋。又檄钺弟钊复父仇，事平得承袭。钺援绝。问督大兵分道入，诛之。捷闻，赐金绮，召为兵部右侍郎。疏陈武备八事。又言：“两广、云、贵半土司，深山密菁，瑶、僮、罗、僰所窟穴。边将喜功召衅，好为扫穴之举。王师每入，巨憝潜踪，所诛戮率无辜赤子。兴大兵，费厚饷，以易无辜命，非陛下好生意。宜敕边臣布威信，严厄塞，谨哨探，使各安边境，以绝祸萌。”帝深纳其言。寻引疾归。二十一年，召为南京礼部侍郎。久之，就迁户部尚书。复引疾去，卒于家。
问清节自励。居官四十年，敝庐萧然，田不满百亩。好学不倦，粹然深造，为士类所宗。隆庆初，谥庄裕。
