Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 75 Warehouse
"Supervision Censor, I think someone seems to be following us."

In the post house, Sun Jiu took a sip of the fermented glutinous rice sent by the post chief. It was a little sweet and had a slight taste of wine.

Fermented glutinous rice refers to sweet rice wine, which is brewed with glutinous rice, and it is also called Jiangmi at this time.

It seems that there shouldn't be Jiangmi in Fuzhou?

Wrong, "There are all kinds of grains and miscellaneous grains everywhere, and Kyushu does not collect them from Fuzhou" is a characteristic of Fuzhou, which is called Xiaojiangnan on the frontier.

"Qianzhou Zhi" records: "In the third year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty (607), Cui Zhongfang, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, built the city of Zhiluo, diverted water from Huachi (now the Hulu River) to build canals to irrigate the fields, and taught the people to grow crops."

In the first year of Zhenguan, the imperial court ordered Fuzhou to pay tribute with Zhiluo rice.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there is a small amount of Jiangmi locally.

The post chief let out a long breath: "You said, if you don't stay in Chang'an, why come to Fuzhou? Since last year, the atmosphere in Luojiao is not right."

"The post office still had twelve horses last year. Because of the ranger's mischief, the horses were almost lost, and the driving department lost three horses."

Lots of information.

The number of horses in a post station is usually three, because according to regulations, one postman is added for every three horses.

Stage horses are not easy to lose. They have a small "official" character printed on their right foreleg, and the word "out" is printed on the left and right cheeks, which is clear at a glance.

But if it is really lost, the person responsible will be in big trouble, and if it is found within a hundred days, nothing will happen, otherwise it will be compensated according to the price.

The worst horse has more than four runs when the price is the lowest, let alone a stage horse.

"Zhenguan Law" stipulates that stealing officials' private horses and killing them will be sentenced to two and a half years in prison.

So most people really dare not touch the stage horse.

What's more, the post office is under the Ministry of War, not under the local jurisdiction, and ordinary people will not come to make trouble.

Even the post station has come to harass, obviously there is something wrong, and I don't want the post station to spread the news.

Maybe, it was just a day or two.

Fan Zheng picked up a small piece of soft and sweet millet cake from the bowl sent by the post chief, chewed it slowly, and swallowed it completely: "Post chief, can you tell me the exact time?"

The postmaster took out a booklet and searched carefully: "Here, during the four days from the 22th to the [-]nd of the winter month last year, neither the postman nor the postman could get out."

Don't confuse postmen with postmen. The former are Dingkou recruited from the local area. They are mainly used to raise horses and maintain the logistics of the posthouse. It is the postman.

Four days, it shows that the movement is not small.

"How many horses and chariots are on the road?" Liu Wen asked the key point.

The postmaster thought for a moment: "There should be a lot of traffic, at least twice as much as in the past."

Hua Ming opened his mouth and mouthed the word "grain" silently.

The warehouses of Sinong Temple and Taifu Temple are not located in Yanzhou, which is also quite strange. Isn't it plugged into Xiaojiangnan, which is rich in grain, and the two major grain management institutions look down on it?

There are not many warehouses under Sinong Temple, but there are only a few warehouses such as Taiyuan warehouse.

By the way, some novels in the early Tang Dynasty were written too much because of the harvest problem, and there was a famine. of.

The next day, Fan Zheng went to the Yanzhou Yamen and asked the recorder to join the army to inspect the warehouse.

"Sicang joins the army, You Shuochu, accompany the Shangguan to inspect the warehouse!" the secretary joined the army and shouted impatiently.

Shangzhou Sicang joined the army from the seventh rank, and his rank was actually higher than that of Fan Zheng, but he had to be regarded as a higher rank when he was a Beijing official, and the officials who came out of Yushitai had to be regarded as a higher rank, so he could be called a Shangguan.

You Shuochu's round body seemed to be rolling across the ground, and his two small mung bean eyes were opened comically, with an inexplicable sense of joy.

When Sicang joins the army, he is in charge of offices, measures, kitchens, warehouses, rents, farms, and shops, and has great authority.

The relationship between Cangcao and Hucao is somewhat similar to that of cashiers and accountants.

Account checking is about accounts;
Chacang Cao, is the physical aspect.

Fan Zheng did not forget the principle of matching accounts with facts.

You Shuochu's men, along with three Sicangzuo and six Sicangshi, led Fan Zheng along the way, passing through the area guarded by Zhechong government soldiers, and entering the relatively clean and tidy warehouse area.

Sicang Shi unlocked the lock, pushed open the heavy solid wooden door, and Fan Zheng entered the Zhengcang area.

The aroma of rice and wheat, even if they were not harvested that year, still lingers faintly.

About how many stones, Fan Zheng really doesn't have the ability to distinguish, so we can't let people take Dendrobium again, right?

A stone of grain in the Tang Dynasty happened to be full of a dendrobium, and the relationship between the two is equivalent.

In the Song Dynasty, one stone was equal to two dendrobiums.

Hua Ming squinted his eyes and turned around, humming in his nostrils: "510 four stones, the error is only one stone."

Fan Zheng raised his eyebrows.

The people assigned by Liu Fan are not mediocre!
Perhaps in terms of accounts, he is not as good as Fan Zheng, but there are always unexpected abilities in other places.

You Shuochu's small mung bean eyes flashed with admiration, and he clapped his fleshy palms: "Good eyesight! This pile is 510 three stones and four fights."

This error can be ignored.

Liu Yan's fat hand grabbed a chisel and slammed it into the grain pile, bringing out some wheat and some soil.

Liu Yan glanced at You Shuochu with a half-smile, but said nothing.

Just relying on this insertion is enough to prove the value of Liu Fan's existence.

There are few completely clean officials in the world. You Shuochu and the others piled up soil among the grains to pay off the debt. If the amount is not too large, Shangguan doesn't have to be serious.

There used to be such a joke that a corrupt county magistrate was arrested, and the elders knelt down to plead for mercy. The Shangguan was shocked: "Don't you know that he is greedy?"

The elder choked with sobs: "We know he is greedy, but even a big worm is almost full! If it was a hungry wolf, it would be more ruthless than a full worm!"

Anyway, this kind of thing, different people have different opinions, and everyone has different perspectives.

Of course, Fan Zheng also noticed something tricky.

To be honest, if You Shuochu was spotlessly clean, Fan Zheng would really be suspicious.

A little problem, jumping sideways on the edge of the rules, this is the status quo of officials!

What's more, folk jokes say that if there is a famine in the world, apart from soldiers and officials, the cooks and granary managers must die in the end.

It cannot be said that all those who manage the granary are bad people, but it is true that bad people are easy to come out, after all, they face temptation all day long.

Millet (millet), three hundred and seven stones;
Shu (soybean), 150 three stones;
Rice, 730 nine stones.

There is access, aside from the occasional tricks, the number of access is about ten stones.

Fan Zheng reprimanded a few words in a decent manner, ordering You Shuochu to rectify within a time limit, and You Shuochu's head froze frequently.

Rectification, I understand, at least some food is used to make up the gap, so what should happen afterwards.

Back at the post house, Lu Yi was furious, gritted his teeth and did not speak.

Sun Jiu drank the green ant wine, hummed those obscene tunes, and did not forget to taunt when she had time: "Oh, young man, I have never been beaten by this world, so I just want to uphold justice. Hehe."

　Thank you for the white 200 coins reward, fork your hands, and wish you all the best in the new year.
