1.23 Governor Kang Chengcang
A hundred miles of land, limited resources. Liu Bei has ordered someone to investigate carefully. Gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, no minerals. There is only river sand, gravel and pebbles. All come with the giant horse water, scattered on the shallow riverbank, inexhaustible. The gravel and river sand used in the construction of the embankment, as well as the pebbles used for slope protection, were all taken from the nearest material and the cost was very low.
Plus the timber of Xilin. The materials are complete, and the hometown is indeed a treasure of feng shui for construction!
The only consolation to Liu Bei was that it was said that river workers could often find brightly colored stones in the gravel. Is it a gem I don't know.
Before the beginning of winter, Lousang, Licheng, rice began to be harvested.
In the past, the rice was fragrant for ten miles. Now the rice is fragrant for dozens of miles. In a few years, Liu Bei is confident that he will make Fengyi fragrant for a hundred miles.
Lou Sang yields six stones per mu, and there is still a surplus. Licheng is slightly worse, and there are also five stone giants. The people of Licheng were overjoyed. A household of fifty acres will get three hundred stones of grain. 300 yuan with one stone, 90,000 yuan! The old farmer of Huaisi said that this year's land strength has not been fully displayed, and there may be eight stones per mu in the coming year.
Liu Bei saw that his words were conclusive, so he wrote them down for the time being.
The theory of taming the field may make sense.
At the beginning of the establishment of Licheng, it was a farm. The city is paved with bluestone and has large and small drying fields. You can also dry the grain in the streets and alleys. The new building is next to the new valley. The newly attached people smiled. Households first build warehouses and watchtowers, and many people are puzzled. When the new grain is put into the warehouse, I know the deep meaning of the young monarch. If you get 300 stone of grain a year, you can't build a high warehouse, how can you hold it? If you don't build a watchtower, how can you have peace of mind!
Supervise the 2,000 households of Shanman, and this year many of them tamed the fields. The grain obtained does not have to be paid to the field. Even though there are only more than 3,000 households in Licheng and more than 2,000 households in Lousang to pay land rent, 30 taxes and 1, the young prince and marquis also get 50,000 stone in Xingu!
The 125,000 stone warehouse in the house has 25,000 stone of surplus grain. There is a balance of 100,000 stones, and it can be filled in two years!
And that's not all!
The land rent of 30 taxes and 1 is 120 yuan per year for adults, 23 yuan per year for minors, and 200 yuan per year for each household.
Adding these four items, the young prince has about 50,000 stone of land rent, 500 and 40,000 yuan, 350,000 yuan, and 1.4 million yuan.
Imaya is three hundred dollars with one stone. After conversion, the annual income of the young prince and the marquis is about 21.79 million yuan.
In addition to paying the donation fee of 'sixty-three yuan per year' to the imperial court, and other expenses, Liu Bei can still have a surplus of 17.38 million yuan.
The tribute to the emperor was paid 4.41 million!
It's really ...... Rich to rival the country.
According to the classification of the cities under their jurisdiction. Lousang is a commercial town. Licheng is a farming town. Xilin is Mayi. Linxiang City is the capital. The governor will be Cangyi.
The so-called cangyi is also called cangcheng. Most of them are built in the key points of the mountains and rivers, which is the important place of border reserves.
Dukang is a hill, which is suitable for building a granary.
And the houses are all built layer by layer along the embankment of the Dukang ditch, from the foot of the mountain upwards. The land of the hill has not yet been planned.
Liu Bei found Su Bo, and after the field survey, he made a plan.
Du Kangcang, built by the mountain, is roughly rectangular. It is 36 zhang (82.8 meters) long from east to west, more than 18 zhang (42.1 meters) wide from north to south, and the warehouse wall is three zhang high (6.9 meters).
Similar to Liu Bei's warehouse, four rows can be built. There are two blocks in each row, with a total of eight floors. It can hold 1 million stones!
The warehouse building is also eight zhang high (18.4 meters), divided into four floors, square pavilion style. Doors and windows, ventilation holes, food outlets, rodent-proof structures, moisture-proof structures, all available.
The lower floor is a warehouse, there are five connected granaries arranged in a row, all of them are cylindrical, and there are ventilation holes below, which are ventilated and moisture-proof, the bottom of the warehouse is higher than the ground, and the warehouse door is connected by steps. The second, third and fourth floors all have flat seats. The first and second floors are integrated and used to store grain.
The second, third, and fourth floors are slightly different from Liu Bei's house: between the eight barn buildings, they are all covered with solid wood, forming a huge overall flat seat. In this way, on the second, third, and fourth floors, the granary becomes a column, and the large flat seat can be used for carriage and horses, and the soldiers can go freely. And there is a cover road connected to the city wall. Only four walls are required, divided into walkways and houses, and the second floor can be used as a garrison barracks. The same corridor was built and the arrow window was opened. Erect inclined ladders and ladders to pass up and down.
The third floor is the warehouse official house, and the fourth floor is the warehouse fortress, with beds and crossbows to guard the city.
The cylindrical granary is both a granary and a pillar. and self-contained, isolated from the outside. Even if the flat seat collapses and the fire falls, the food will not matter.
Qin, Hancang, and library are different. "Library, military chariots are hidden", "The library is also the place where chariots, horses and armor are located". The arsenal is the arsenal. "Warehouse, grain storage also". A silo is a granary.
The warehousing system was in place in the Xia Dynasty. By the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, its scale and system gradually developed. At that time, all countries had a complete system of granaries. They are not only storage institutions for grain and other materials, but also have production functions. It is an important department to ensure the operation of the state apparatus. After the unification of Qin, a large number of granaries with a detailed system and strict management were formed. The two Han Dynasty generally followed the Qin system, and established a multi-level and widely distributed granary system from the court to the local government in accordance with the administrative system.
The granary directly under the imperial court is called Taicang. There are also Ganquan Cang located in Ganquan, Huacang in Huaxian, Xiliu Cang, Jiacang and so on.
In addition to this, many departments of the Inner Court have their own granaries. For example, the field warehouse of Dasi Nong, the Zhan Shicang of Zhan Shi, the Changxin Cang of Changxin Palace, the agricultural warehouse of Captain Shuiheng in Shanglin Yuan, the examination of the work warehouse, and the Changmancang of Taixue.
At the county and county levels, there are permanent warehouses. It can be seen in historical materials, such as Hanoi, Bohai, Jiuquan and other county warehouses. Emperor Zhao once set up a standing position in the border county, which can also be regarded as a county-level granary. The county's warehouses also include Huan Cang, Gongcang, Haiqu Cang, Zhucang, Tongcang, etc.
In addition to this, there is also the granary of the defenders of the border county. Because it is under the jurisdiction of the governor, it is called the commander cang. Because it is located in the city where it is stationed, it is called 'Chengcang'.
The Han Dynasty was parallel to the county state. Remove the granaries of the imperial court and all levels of government. The vassal states all had granaries similar to dynasties. For example: Qi Taicang. When Emperor Wen was Emperor Qi, Taicang Changchun Yu meant a famous doctor, called "Cang Gong Gong". There is a record of "Qi Taicang seal" sealing mud. Another example: Wu Taicang. "Hanshu Mei Lu Cheng Biography": "Turning to Su Xixiang, the land travel is endless, and the water is full of rivers, which is not as good as the warehouse of Hailing." "Hailing, the name of Lu County. There is Wu Taicang".
"Hanshu Hundred Officials and Ministers": "(Dasi Nong) subordinate officials have Taicang, Junlo, Pingzhun, Dunei, Jitian Wuling, and Cheng".
Cangling, rank 600 stones. Cangchang, also known as Cangzai, ranks 300 stones. Order, chief, and Cheng are the husbands. There are also Ling Shi, Peng, Zuo, Cao Shi, etc., all of whom are low-level officials. It is the same as the post house and the city building.
Although they are all fighting food, they are not in the ranks. There are quite a few people.
"Ninety-nine Taicang clerks". "Swallow a remote tunnel warehouse, seven officials, eighty-six deaths, waiting for the chief, waiting for the history ......" is proof of this.
The importance of the granary is self-explanatory.
Abundant warehousing can not only stabilize grain prices, protect yeoman farmers from the exploitation of landlords and usurious profits, and even annex land, becoming tenants or even displaced people. Rice and grain can also be distributed regularly to the people and retainers under its jurisdiction. For example, giving rice in high years, salaries and food, helping orphans, widows and poverty, etc. Especially in the year of famine, opening a position to help the people can greatly ease the people's sentiment and calm the turmoil. Quickly restore people's livelihoods.
There is a precedent, and it should be of great use.
Why not?
