Chapter 314 Inventory Inspection
On the fourth day of Yang Yun's arrival at the Yushitai, he officially accepted the assignment...... He was informed by someone sent by the Imperial Historical Observatory in the Drunken Immortal Tower, telling him that he was going to supervise the Eastern Capital Granary on behalf of the Imperial Historical Observatory that day.
This is the first time that Yang Yun has performed official duties as a servant of the imperial history, and he should have gone in an official uniform, but the imperial history platform did not send his official uniform, probably because it has not been done until now, so he can only go in a foreign uniform.
"You can't let me wear a robe, can you?" Yang Yun took two nurses, and without even a single errand officer, he went to Hanjiacang, which is close to Anximen in the north of Luoyang City.
Hanjiacang is the largest granary in Luoyang during the Xuanzong period, built in the palace, so the location has a lot to do with the setting of the Sui Dynasty back to Luocang.
Huiluocang is the largest granary in Luoyang, built in Sui, but because it was built outside the city, the Sui Dynasty was broken through in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the grain became the basis for the Wagang army to rapidly expand its strength and sweep the world.
As long as Luoyang City and even the imperial palace are under the control of the imperial court for one day, the granary will not be lost, and there is no need to divide troops to defend it.
Hanjia warehouse is very large, there are about more than 400 circular warehouses, different sizes, in order to prevent the granary from fire, these warehouses keep enough distance between the cellars to prevent the spread of fire, and the internal fire extinguishing measures are almost to the extreme.
Yang Yun entered the courtyard gate of the outer wall of Hanjiacang, and saw large water tanks storing water, in order to prevent the water in the water tanks from freezing into ice cubes in winter, there were firewood and grass piled up next to the water tanks.
"This is the new Imperial Servant Yang Heavenly Master, right?" After Yang Yun arrived at Hanjiacang, a cashier came to greet him.
reported his name, and the other party's name was Li Ye, who seemed to be a relative of the emperor.
Li Ye didn't think it was strange to see that Yang Yun was not wearing an official uniform, everyone knew that Yang Yun had just arrived, and the lack of preparation was the proper meaning of the question.
Yang Yun greeted Li Ye, and then asked, "I don't know what I should do today?" This oversees the granary...... I've never done it before. ”
Li Ye smiled and replied: "You are here mainly to check the accounts, as for checking these things, the people of Sinong Temple will be specifically responsible, and today we have to wait for Yang Shaoqing of Sinong Temple to come before we can start." ”
Only then did Yang Yun know that he did not come to inspect the granary alone, but had to be accompanied by Si Nongcheng, a young man surnamed Yang.
After carefully asking Yang Yun, I learned that this "Yang Shaoqing" was not small, but the great-grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui, the famous Yang Shenjin of the Xuanzong Dynasty.
Yang Shenjin is the son of Yang Longli, the prince of Hongnong County, who is deep and resolute, talented, likes to work hard, and is quite famous in the family...... Yang Shenjin's background is much higher than Yang Yun, and he is a descendant of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty.
But that's not something to be proud of.
As the "second queen" of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Shenjin was easy to be attacked as an official in the court, and later Yang Shenjin was also implicated in the rebellion case because of his identity as a descendant of Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Yun did not feel how honored it was to become a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty.
After waiting for a long time, Yang Shenjin came, after all, he had to rush over from Sinong Temple, and it was much more convenient for Yang Yun to come from Shanglinfang.
"Yang Tianshi, it's polite."
Yang Shenjin is around thirty years old, handsome, completely the image of a beautiful man, speaking very decently, tall, standing there gives people the feeling of a male model.
Yang Yun greeted him.
Yang Shenjin behaved very friendly, and did not despise Yang Yun because he was a relative and an official.
Yang Yun felt from Yang Shenjin's title to him that his name of "Heavenly Master" was very bluffing, and the first thing that came to mind when others mentioned him was not the identity of his relative, but the Taoist Heavenly Master, who was far from inferior to Luo Gong.
Yang Shenjin brought two subordinate officials of Sinong Temple, one was the chief of Sinong Temple and the superintendent of the imperial history, named Jiang Lie, and the other was a scribe in charge of records.
Subsequently, accompanied by Li Ye, Yang Yun and Yang Shenjin entered Hanjiacang, and according to the custom, they first inspected the surroundings of Hanjiacang to see if the warehouse was damaged and collapsed, and then to see whether the surrounding fire prevention measures were appropriate, and finally went to the yamen board room of Hanjiacang to check the accounts and check them one by one.
Yang Yun took out the attitude of a newcomer in the political arena, and kept asking Yang Shenjin some questions, and Yang Shenjin answered them one by one.
On the other hand, Yang Shenjin took the initiative to talk to Yang Yun about Taoism, as if Yang Shenjin was very interested in cultivation.
"I don't know how far Yang Tianshi's Dao method has improved? How many more years can you become an immortal? Yang Shenjin was convinced of the matter of cultivating to become an immortal, and asked questions again and again, and the questions were tricky and strange.
Yang Yun shook his head and said, "How can this kind of thing be easy to say?" What's more, there is no record of the feathering of my predecessors in this lineage, even if I want to become an immortal, I will go to the deep mountains and old forests, and I will not be seen by the world. ”
Legend has always said that when a cultivator turns into an immortal, he must go to the deep mountains and old forests to prepare, which is what the Taoist scriptures call "crossing the catastrophe", as for how to cross the catastrophe, there are many folk rumors, and there are even some so-called "official records", but it is basically a cloud of people, Yang Shenjin saw Yang Yun such a "living heavenly master", of course, he wanted to ask the highest level of Taoist cultivation, that is, what is going on with becoming an immortal.
During the conversation between the two, they walked around in Hanjiacang, this distance was not short, Yang Yun looked around, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong.
There are a lot of officers and soldiers on duty here, but one or two are very lazy, probably looking at the granary is a thankless job, and being transferred here means losing the promotion space, and they live every day, from generals to ordinary soldiers, they don't have much energy.
In front of a warehouse, there were servants loading grain into trucks, and there were fifty or sixty wagons carrying grain, each of which could carry thousands of catties of grain.
Yang Yun asked and found out that the grain was going to be sent to the north from the Grand Canal, which may be related to the rumored Zhang Shouqi sending troops to the Turks.
Yang Yun thought to himself: "Even if there is a hundred truckloads of grain, it is not much, but Hanjiacang should have transferred a large amount of grain recently, and the Yushitai sent me to supervise it, is it related to checking the numbers?" Since ancient times, there have been a lot of cats in the granary, and others didn't come but let me come, probably because I saw that there was something to be responsible for, and if necessary, I could be pushed out of the black pot. ”
Finally arrived at the yamen, Li Ye asked with a smile: "Two Shangguan, I don't know what you think of the situation in Hanjiacang?" ”
Yang Shenjin said: "Hanjiacang will be repaired by the imperial court every year, although it is not yet the rainy season, but the precautions that should be done need to be completed as soon as possible to avoid the stored grain from getting wet......"
This is also a matter of routine.
As we all know, the most difficult part of grain storage is to prevent moisture, once the grain is damp, it may cause mildew, and it is easy to cause the internal temperature to rise, and there is a fire.
Now that it is the beginning of spring, there is still a period of time before summer, so there is no need to worry about the moisture of the grain for the time being.
But whether it will catch fire or not is another matter.
When I arrived at the yamen, there were no chairs, only couches for sitting.
The messenger of Hanjiacang brought some accounts, a total of as many as two boxes, and in order to properly preserve, a lot of data was engraved on the bamboo slips, which appeared to be extremely heavy, for reference.
Later, the people of Han Jiacang, including Li Ye, withdrew from the door and closed the door from the outside, probably this is the rule, but whenever someone comes to check the accounts, the officials of Han Jiacang are not allowed to watch from the sidelines, so as to prevent collusion up and down or on-site deletion.
"There are so many accounts, I don't know where to start?"
Yang Yun asked Yang Shenjin, who was sitting opposite.
Yang Shenjin shook his head and said nothing, and glanced at Jiang Lie of the Sinong Temple next to him, and then Jiang Lie poured a cup of tea for Yang Shenjin and Yang Yun.
Yang Yun was sitting there, about to pick up the bamboo slip to check, but Yang Shenjin stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Yang Shaoqing, what are you doing?"
Yang Yun was a little puzzled, frowned and asked, "Could it be that there are problems with these accounts and they can't withstand inspection?" ”
Yang Shenjin smiled and said: "I didn't mean that, but since this account is from Han Jiacang, there will definitely be no problem, if they dare to send it without checking it, isn't it a slap in the face?" Every data on this account is carefully calculated, so many accounts are responsible, and there will be absolutely no deviation. ”
"Oh!?"
Although Yang Yun was still a little confused, he probably understood the meaning...... The purpose of checking the account book is not to look at the account book, and the deviation of the account book is not calculated correctly, and even if there is a mistake, it has nothing to do with the person who checked it, and only the account office will be held responsible.
Yang Shenjin said: "At present, the imperial court is discussing the matter of sending troops, and this time and again, Hanjiacang will have more grain to mobilize, and this is the beginning of spring, if it is summer, there will be more grain." ”
Yang Yun nodded.
Yang Shenjin smiled again and said: "If you want to really check the accounts, you can't wait for a large amount of grain to come out of the warehouse, and you can only draw conclusions after a cart is weighed, and it is too early to find out." ”
The grain is placed in the warehouse, and most of the warehouses are closed at present, and I don't know how much grain is in it.
Yang Yun said with a smile: "Checking the grain storage should be a matter of Sinong Temple, I'll ...... What can be done? ”
"So today we have a cup of tea, put aside the matter at hand, if there is something they will definitely find a way to be accommodating...... Just look at the reaction of the people in Hanjiacang, and you can probably know how much they have lost in grain storage this year...... Next, I will ask people to check the number of stale grains to see if anyone is smuggling grain out......"
Yang Shenjin's words show that he has a thorough grasp of the situation in the granary.
It is very difficult for these people to get to him, and it is no wonder that in history, Yang Shenjin was known for managing money and food well, even if he sat there and did nothing, it seemed that he could control everything.
With such a master here, Yang Yun felt that he was redundant, at most he supervised on the side, and by the way, he learned from the experience of others.
"By the way, Yang Tianshi, you were born in the Hongnong Yang family, have you ever been back to Hongnong in recent years?" Yang Shenjin began to talk to Yang Yun again.
Yang Yun smiled and shook his head: "Although I am a Hongnong, I was born in Shu, and my cultivation has never gone out of Shu, and now it is the first time I have come to Luoyang, and I have not had the opportunity to return to my ancestral hometown." ”
