The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 86 Brazenly withholding [-]% ​​of the military rations, Dazheng officials really know how to play!

What kind of official is the second uncle? In the past two days, Song Yingkui finally found out.Zhaomo is equivalent to a powerful director of the provincial audit office in later generations.The authority in charge of the work is a bit greater than that of the Audit Office of later generations. Auditing, inspection, and supervision of a province's property, merits, and rewards are all under their control.

The official position is not big, but the real power is quite large, especially in departments that deal with property like the transfer department, the most fearful thing is to be manipulated by Zhaomo.

Although the second uncle is not in charge of the auditing business of the Dahekou Transshipment Department, his colleagues in the yamen must be in charge of this opening. Wouldn't it be a matter of raising one's hand to handle a small civil servant?Unless the officials in this place perform their duties cleanly, are there any clean officials in the world?Who can stand scrutiny!

Since we have this kind of relationship, what would it be like to be bullied by a small transshipment official without showing off?The second uncle will blame him for embarrassing him when he finds out.

After intimidating the civil servants and receiving the work assignment paperwork, Song Yingkui led the volunteer team to walk for more than a day and arrived at Haishibao.

Haishibao is also an estuary, where the Huangshui River meets a small tributary.This is the nearest military material transfer point to Ningxi Acropolis.

After passing Haishi Fort, it is half of the front line. Haishi Fort is nearly [-] miles away from Ningxi Acropolis, and it takes three days to transport supplies.This section of road can be said to be the lifeline of the front line of Ningxi Acropolis. The Xifan people naturally knew the importance, so they tried their best to send a small group of rangers across the mountains to harass this lifeline.

The province has dispatched more than 4000 Hexi soldiers to fight in Ningxi. In addition to the previous three or four thousand Wazhou soldiers, the small Ningxi City has gathered eight or nine thousand troops, and the pressure on logistics supply has increased unprecedentedly.This is the meaning of recruiting volunteers from Wazhou and other places to help in the battle. Without two or three thousand armed civilians to protect the rear, the soldiers at the forefront will be very dangerous.

The scale of the Xifan rangers coming from the mountain road will not be very large. They are usually small troops of three to 40 people. A volunteer team of more than 300 people should be able to handle it if they are careful.

After arriving at Haishibao, the first thing the volunteer team did was to set up a station.The sea stone fortress is small and cannot accommodate too many people stationed in it. The most important thing is that a large amount of supplies have to be piled up in the fort, so the civilian team can only find a way to settle the garrison outside the fort.

After cutting some tree branches and digging some earth pits, Song Yingkui arranged for the volunteer team to build thirty or forty nests as their bases.In the ground nest, you can use the felt armor on the ground as a bed.I have to say that felt is a good thing. It can be used as armor and a bed. It's the cold winter months. If you don't bring enough felt, you can freeze to death.

"You are brave enough to listen to the order. It takes one round trip from Ningxi Acropolis to transport rations for six days. The fire consumption of the rations transported is [-]%. Well, the policemen under the defense of Haishibao ran over to announce the mission and discipline.

Within six days, food should be delivered to Ning Xicheng once, and the supplies should be transported by car according to the number of people.Spread over people's heads, each person has to transport three hundred catties of grain.Among them, thirty catties of grain are the food grain for volunteers on their way to and fro.Thirty catties of taels in six days, five catties of grain a day, is this treatment okay?No matter how big a person's appetite is, five catties of food a day is enough.

However, the accounts are not calculated in this way. The work of transporting food cannot be done one after another, and there are intermissions in between.It takes about ten days to run a trip to transport food. If calculated according to the amount of food in ten days, this part of the fire consumption can be enough for bravery.

This account was calculated by Song Yingkui without experience.In reality, this is not the case.

Song Xiaobai was taught a lesson the first time he took on the task of transporting grain.The Wuying Town Volunteer Team originally received more than 9 catties of food, and the tickets issued were also more than 9 catties.However, what was received was more than 7 catties.What do you mean, it means that you don't eat or drink along the way, and the food transported over is not enough.

What to do?Song Yingkui hurried to find the experience log of the transfer office.

"You thief, what are you counting? The food delivered from the transfer station is exactly the same. What trouble are you looking for?" Experience held the shipping ledger, opened his eyes and talked nonsense.

"It clearly says over 9 catties on the note, and only over 7 catties are loaded on my side. Is it possible that 9% of the food disappeared out of thin air? Let me tell you, we don't receive a penny of military pay from the court when we volunteered to the front line to help the war, but you also We can’t let us go in with food to fill this pit. If it’s such a deception, we will take the lawsuit to the province, and someone will speak for us.” The note was more than 9 catties of grain, and when it arrived at the front line, the army The generals want more than [-] catties of grain, where can they be reasonable.No matter how capable you are, it is impossible for you to persuade someone with a knife.Song Yingkui didn't want to suffer from being dumb!
"You thief, so you are illiterate. Didn't you see that it was clearly stated on the note that it was a discount? It's not [-]%, it's a custom made by the imperial court, where is there a shortage of your food? There is a big war on the front line, and we How many will be timid to give food to the front line? Stop looking for trouble, hurry up to transport the food and set off, and safely deliver the food to the front line in Ningxi is the business."

The two characters written on the document meant a [-]% discount?And this is still a custom made by the imperial court?Song Yingkui gained a lot of insight from the words of experience.

Dazheng officials really know how to make corruption and embezzlement so blatant.

Since this is a custom made by the imperial court, and there are special marks on the document, what else can I say?I can only bid farewell to the experience in disgrace, and set off with the volunteer team pulling food.

Walking on the road, I suddenly realized a calculation. The total amount of grain has been reduced by 24%, and the [-]% of the fire consumption belonging to the grain transportation team has been discounted by [-]%, isn't it?Originally, it was said that if they went to Ningxi City, each person could save [-] catties of grain, but in fact, the surplus of grain was at most [-] catties, which was a total of six catties less.What is the concept of six catties of grain? That is a ration for two or three days for one person.

If the rations for two or three days are missing, if there is a problem with the connection of food transportation, the volunteer team will be in danger of starving, and the impact of this matter is still quite large.I must have a plan in case the volunteer team itself has a shortage of food.People are like iron and rice is steel. The most taboo of marching and leading a team is lack of food. Once everyone can't eat, the team will disperse!
"Kuiwa, the car used in the military is not as easy to use as ours. Many of the wheels used are still old wheels without bead bearings. It is too laborious to pull." Song Xueliang rode to his nephew and asked his nephew Reflect on the problems you see in your team.

The popularity of shelf carts is quite fast. The main vehicles for transporting military rations on the Ningxi front line have changed from bullock carts, wheelbarrows, and even horse-drawn carts to shelf carts.No way, compared to a wheelbarrow, the load capacity of a frame cart is greater. Compared with an ox cart and a horse-drawn cart, this thing has lower requirements on the road conditions, and it can be done purely by manpower without accumulating power!Basically, all the official roads that can be marched can pass with shelf cars, so it is not surprising that there are a large number of such cars in the army.Didn't the Qinzhou Army just order [-] rack vehicles for use in the army?
