What are the important cornerstones for regional stability?

The first is that the government should operate normally and the army should suppress the situation, both of which have now been achieved.

So keep improving, and what should be guaranteed not to be destroyed?

Chen Xiaoting thought of food, as the so-called people take food as the sky, food is the real cornerstone, who would be willing to rebel if the big guys are full.

Among the grains, the most important thing is military rations, so Chen Xiaoting came to Yongxi to transfer the envoy Yamen.

The reason why he thinks of food security is also affected by the turmoil in the army caused by the resale of military rations by Gao Yanyang.

At that time, the situation was extremely unfavorable, and even the army had become bandits, and even collided with Shen Yi's mother and daughter who went to the temple to burn incense.

So, food must be safe.

It just so happened that the transfer made the yamen belong to the civil official sequence, and Jin Yiwei mainly investigated the illegal affairs of the civil official system, and this time Chen Xiaoting went to the transfer to make the yamen reasonable.

"Lord Xu, can the grain in the warehouses in Yongxi match the account books?"

Walking in front, Chen Xiaoting said to Xu Wenxiang, the new Yongxi transfer on the side, and behind the two of them were their respective subordinates.

"Lord Chen, rest assured, what happened two years ago will never happen, and the grain in the warehouse is exactly the same as in the account books!" Xu Wenxiang had a smile on his face.

It is difficult to explain the character of a civil official, for example, Xu Wenxiang's charm at this time is very different from his usual appearance.

Hearing his answer, Chen Xiaoting said with a smile: "It's not that I don't believe you, food is an important item, and you still have to go to the warehouse to see it in person to feel at ease!" ”

There are eight Changping positions in Yongxi, but the one next to the Yamen is the largest, accounting for at least one-third of the total grain stock.

When the food here is stable, Chen Xiaoting can feel at ease, and he actually has little trust in civil officials.

"Lord Xu, I brought someone to count, and you can also send someone to bring the booklet for registering grain!"

Hearing this, Xu Wenxiang felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face.

"Since Chen Xiaoting is so interested, Xu Mou thinks he is perfect!" Xu Wenxiang said with a smile.

Then he ordered his men to go down and get the register, this thing still has a set in the regular position, and the two need to be compared.

After the comparison is correct, the granaries are counted, and finally the grain is sufficient.

In order to accomplish this matter, Chen Xiaoting summoned more than a dozen old men from grain shops, all of whom were experts in grain estimation.

Soon, they came to Chang Ping, and with Xu Wenxiang's humanoid stamp, they were able to enter the warehouse directly.

What catches your eye is a row of brick granaries with several horse-drawn wagons being loaded inside.

"Lord Chen, these are the military rations that are about to be sent to the guard!" Xu Wenxiang said on the side.

In fact, according to the idea of the founding emperor, the establishment of guard posts was to make the army self-sufficient and achieve the goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army.

However, time has passed, and the system will eventually become out of shape due to the change of time, so the current guard station also needs military rations.

This is actually a disguised salary, and as for how much will end up in the mouths of the soldiers, it is a big question mark.

Sometimes Chen Xiaoting wondered if the phenomenon of quickly turning soldiers into bandits at the beginning would be instructed by their thousands of households or commanders.

Don't think it's impossible, nothing is strange what happens in this world.

Chen Xiaoting waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to go and get busy, and then he walked around between the warehouses.

While walking, Chen Xiaoting said to Xu Wenxiang beside him: "Now that the northwest is not peaceful, the grain in this warehouse will be urgently needed if it is not guaranteed, how important it is to have comprehensive food, I think Lord Xu also knows!" ”

Of course, Xu Wenxiang was clear, so after he arrived, he carefully cleaned up the yamen.

So the current data is very real, and he is not afraid of Chen Xiaoting to check it at all.

"Thank you Lord Chen for mentioning that the group of people before the Yamen have committed a big crime, and Xu will never repeat the mistakes of the past!"

Continuing to walk forward, Chen Xiaoting glanced around, and then said, "Recently, the White Lotus Sect has been rampant against thieves, you know all about this, right?" ”

Of course, Xu Wenxiang knew, after all, the thousands of households of Jinyiwei had been assassinated, and it was impossible to cover this matter.

"These thieves are extremely vicious, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not target you, so you must do a good job of protection, and it is best to increase the number of sentry personnel!" Chen Xiaoting said calmly.

Hearing this, Xu Wenxiang spoke: "What Lord Chen said is reasonable, I will do this as soon as possible!" ”

In order to prevent Xu Wenxiang from lying about it, Chen Xiaoting asked, "How does Lord Xu plan to start?" ”

Xu Wenxiang said: "The soldiers guarding here are all dispatched by the guard, I just need to explain the situation to the capital and let them dispatch more!" ”

Chen Xiaoting nodded, he only had a meeting with Du Si a few days ago, letting them know that the situation was not peaceful now, and they would agree to Xu Wenxiang's request.

"What Lord Xu said is reasonable, now Chen is much more relieved!"

But before he finished speaking, he only heard Chen Xiaoting continue: "In order to prevent someone from stealing and playing tricks, Chen will send people over to inspect from time to time, Lord Xu don't be careful!" ”

How can this not be careful, anyone who is looked at like a thief like this will feel uncomfortable.

Now is the period of non-scholars, at this time, Xu Wenxiang can only pinch his nose and endure it, and at the same time said with a smile: "Lord Chen is talking about that, this is the duty of Jinyiwei, how can Xu be careless!" ”

"After all, we are all serving the court and the emperor......"

"If Lord Xu can think like this, then Chen will be much more relieved!" Chen Xiaoting also laughed.

Next, the conversation between the two was a little easier, and the people brought by Chen Xiaoting were busy at an accelerated pace.

About half an hour later, all the warehouses were counted, and the situation was summarized to Yang Kai, and then Yang Kai reported it to Chen Xiaoting.

"My lord, the inventory has been completed, and it is not bad overall!" Yang Kaigong reported.

Chen Xiaoting waved his hand and motioned for Yang Kai to retreat before he said to Xu Wenxiang: "Lord Xu, you must take what I told you to heart!" ”

"Recently, the Thousand Households Institute will strengthen the suppression of the White Lotus Sect's anti-thieves, and it is difficult to guarantee that these people will not jump over the wall in a hurry!"

Xu Wenxiang nodded and replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Lord Chen, I will definitely take this matter to heart, and I will explain the situation to the capital division later, so that they can dispatch troops as soon as possible!" ”

"It's not just this place that is often closed, but also several other places in Yongxi, and there will be no omissions in the next!"

Xu Wenxiang's words made Chen Xiaoting really feel at ease, and then it was up to him to do it.

Anyway, he will send someone to inspect, if Xu Wenxiang's words and deeds are inconsistent, Chen Xiaoting will never spare him.

"Okay, Master Xu is busy, so we won't bother much!" Chen Xiaoting smiled slightly.

The conversation between the two has always been kind, so at this time, Xu Wenxiang also laughed and said, "Master Chen, go slowly!" ”
