Chapter 90: Inventory (2)
In Changping Alley in the east of Cangzhou City, outside Changping, it was crowded with people who came to see the excitement. However, they could only stand in the alley and watch from afar, but they couldn't get close to Chang Ping, because the gate of the warehouse was full of soldiers and guards.
There are three red flags hanging at the door, one flag is written as the deputy governor of Shandong Province, one flag is written as the governor of the festival, and the other flag is written as the inspector and supervises the road. In addition to the three flags, there is also an inconspicuous small flag, which has the words of Cangxian County Order.
The three major officials arrived at the same time, all of them were crowned in scarlet clothes, and the county commander was also laughing beside him, and the common people had seen so many big officials, knowing that there must be a lively look, they all put down their work at hand, and the people who sold onions and garlic all watched wholeheartedly.
To the surprise of the people, the three big officials plus the county order were a huge combination, but now they seemed to be waiting for one person. Who dares to let these three red-clothed officers wait together?
Naturally, it is the history of Xu Da's thorn.
"Qin County Order, why hasn't this Xu Thorn Shi come yet? Could it be that there is a problem in the grain depot? An official asked impatiently.
Qin Shi hurriedly apologized: "Don't blame my lord, Xu Tingshi is already on the way, he may have encountered some obstacles, he should be there immediately." ”
Qin Shi scolded the three high-ranking officials in his heart, and they waited for a cup of tea before urging them. I couldn't help sighing: Alas, my teacher, knowledge, character, ability, everything is good, all strong, but I can't get up this morning. A bit of a flaw.
"When has this been, the victims have arrived, but the local supervisor is nowhere to be seen!" The person who spoke was surnamed Sun, and he was the deputy governor of Shandong Province, and in front of Xu Qing's assassination history, he naturally had face and official authority.
The patrol Shi from Chang'an opened his mouth, but he didn't speak. There was also an official who supervised the Tao, and when he saw that Yushi didn't speak, he also looked at his nose and nose, and his nose looked at his heart.
Actually, Qin Shi wronged Xu Qing this time. He's here a long time ago!
It's just that when I was on the road, I saw the pair of people and horses on Shandong Road. They beat gongs and drums in Cangzhou City, and they also held big flags, which was very arrogant. Looking at the deputy chief manager Sun who rode a tall horse, it was even more amazing, a scarlet official with boundless authority, and a golden crown, inlaid with gold and jade.
Xu Qing looked at his body again, except for thirty well-known copper plates, there was no other metal. The point is that his official uniform is already four years old, and the horse he rides is also an old horse, with a crooked mouth and a lame leg.
Look at the side, others have patrols, drums, gongs, cards, flags, if you carry a box, maybe it is more lively than other people's marriage! And beside Xu Qing, the five guards were honest, neither mighty nor handsome, and none of them had a pair of sunglasses.
This line, this pomp, is too shabby. didn't do anything to lose face, Xu Qing turned his head and went back. rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and found that I still had a outfit that I hadn't worn - Luonan County Uncle!
changed clothes, called a large number of entourage, came and went, so it was too late.
Deputy Chief Manager Sun waited for a while, paced back and forth a few times, and saw those people stretching their heads out, feeling that they had lost face, so they said to Qin Shi again: "Qin County Order, please go and urge again." Time is of the essence......"
Patrol Yu Shi also said: "At the time of the catastrophe, food is more important than gold, and I ask the Qin County Order to take care of it." ”
"Yes......" Qin Shi smiled bitterly, what if I didn't agree? Raised his feet and walked out to find Xu Qing, but at this moment, there was a burst of gongs and drums behind the people, and someone shouted: "Luonan County Uncle, Cangzhou Thorn Shi Lord Xu has arrived~"
"What? Cangzhou Thorn History turned out to be a county uncle?! The two red-clothed officials were shocked in their hearts, this title is not comparable to the official position, it doesn't have a big background and great merit, who can get it? What is a great credit? It's a credit that the emperor also praises! Only the patrol history who came from Chang'an was not surprised, and he was even secretly happy in his heart, sure enough, it was him!
Tang Wenzong, Xu Qing!
Xu Qing stepped off the horse with official steps, stood at the usual door of the closing and took a look, and when he saw the three senior officials, he immediately hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "The three adults came, and the lower officials failed to meet them from afar, which is really a sin." ”
Looking at Xu Qing's clothes, it was indeed the lord, and the three of them hurriedly said: "The situation is urgent, and it is too late to inform the lord, but we are abrupt." ”
Xu Qing also said: "Where is it."
"We were ordered by the emperor to inspect the preparations for disaster relief in various states and counties. Cangzhou is receiving disaster victims, so let's see how well they are prepared. Patrol Shi Dao smiled: "Please also ask Lord Xu to cooperate." ”
Xu Qing said: "It must be."
"Don't gossip," said the deputy director of Shandong Daosun, "we have to go elsewhere." ”
"It's better to invite the three of you to the mansion to rest, and the lower officials can report the situation." Xu Qing eagerly. "No need." Deputy Chief Manager Sun said coldly: "Chang Ping is close at hand, go straight to the inside to inspect the warehouse!" "The other two red-clothed officials winked at Xu Qing's envoy, meaning that they had nothing to do with us.
In Chang Ping, Liu Teng's son, Liu Su opened the lock, and the two Minzhuang pushed the heavy hatch open.
I saw that the stacks of grain bags were stacked neatly and majestically like a mountain, and everywhere was clean and orderly. When you smell it with your nose, there is no mildew or moisture, and it is all the fragrance of food.
The inspector and the supervisor glanced at each other, nodded, Liu Su bowed to the side, several adults probed in, and the grain supervisor behind him held the account book, singing the number of grain deposits, and at the same time lit the rice bags in the warehouse, so that the three red-clothed officials could look at them.
Deputy Chief Sun ordered someone to take thirty or forty bags of rice from the warehouse, then opened them all and fell to the ground. The rice poured down without any impurities and without stale grain. Take a handful and look at it in your hand, lubricate and reflect, and send one to your mouth and chew it carefully, fresh!
He immediately inspected five warehouses, all of them were like this, and he knew that the condition of the warehouse in Cangzhou was surprisingly good.
It's unimaginably good......
glanced approvingly at Xu Qing, who was a little thin, and said in his heart: This young lord really has the ability.
The red-clothed officer who oversaw the Dao asked, "How did the lord do it?" ”
"The subordinate is just doing things according to the rules." Xu Qinggong said: "There is no special place. Although his tone was light, his heart was so refreshed that he couldn't help himself. It's this feeling of pretending to be forced, and I only know it after trying it......
"I mean......" explained the Ombudsman, "some of the bad rules that are common in granaries are not seen in you. ”
"Since it's a bad rule, there's naturally no need to exist anymore." Xu Qing continued to pretend to be forced, but he didn't expect to be so angry that the deputy head of Shandong Province smoked, but he couldn't find fault with it.
In half a day, he had already counted half of the grain depot, and found that the grain stored in it was much more than the prescribed amount, which was more than enough to deal with the victims of the two disasters!
How do people find trouble?
"Very good, Xu Tingshi is young and old, and he can be described as a capable official." Patrol Yushi looked at the other two and said, "I am very satisfied with the situation in Cangzhou. ”
"This official thinks the same way." The supervisor also nodded and said: "Generally, the attitude of states and counties towards regular liquidation is to protect positions. In fact, it is very good to be able to do a good job of securing the position. But what Xu Tingshi pursues is a profit, which shows Xu Tingshi's solid work. ”
"Not bad." Patrol Yushi nodded and said: "Only when the position is filled up, once such a disaster year, can we ensure the emergency use of disaster relief." ”
Deputy Chief Qi said in a sullen voice: "Are the places where the victims live ready?" ”
Xu Qingdao: "It's ready." ”
So the officials came forward and took the three adults out.
At this time, Liu Su quietly stepped forward and said sincerely: "Lord Xu, I knew everything about my father before, and now it seems that Lord Xu saved my family!" ”
"Lord Xu, in the future, if you have a villain, the villain will definitely go to the soup for the adult, and you will not hesitate!"
"You don't have to go to the soup." Xu Qing said flatly: "I just need you to keep this warehouse well, and there are no rats......"
"The villain doesn't dare to follow the old path of his father if he has 10,000 guts......" Liu Su said that there seemed to be something unfinished.
Xu Qingdao: "Anything else?" Just talk about it. ”
"My lord, this is often closed, and the emergency warehouse cleared out two thousand stone of old grain, and it is very ......good," Liu Su finished speaking, looking at Xu Qing.
"Oh, you kid......" Xu Qing smiled: "If you want to sell grain, take it, how to divide the money with the government, you just have a good idea." ”
Liu Su hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes......"
Out of the library gate, the three senior officials asked Xu Qing to take him to see the accommodation area for the disaster victims, but Xu Qing shook his head and came with a registration book and said: "The arrangement of disaster victims in this state is different from the usual......
With a lot of effort, Xu Qing explained the method of dispersing the victims in Cangzhou, and then showed them the registration book.
The three of them picked it up and looked through it, and saw that it was written in the registration book: "Liutianwan Mo family, there is a vacant room, the lease period is two months, the deposit is thirty catties of rice, and the government is given." The balance is 100 pounds. ”
Xu Qingdao: "There are dozens of copies, but I can't bring them one by one." ”
"Hmph, that's nonsense!" Deputy Chief Manager Sun snorted: "Xu Tingshi is planning to take advantage of the disaster in my Shandong to make a fortune in Cangzhou?" ”
Xu Qing was unhappy, and said-for-tat: "Nonsense! What your Shandong, my Cangzhou, we are all doing things for the emperor and a blessing for the people! ”
"Uh......" Deputy Chief Manager Sun choked for a while, and then said: "Then, how can Xu Tingshi use my people from Shandong to serve you in the battle of Cangzhou?" ”
"Eat my Cangzhou's food and contribute to my Cangzhou, why not?"
"Shandong is in trouble, since it should be generous, why do you try your best to use my people's strength, it's really unkind!"
"Humph! If Deputy General Manager Sun is red-eyed, then my Cangzhou will not accept the entry of disaster victims! ”
The patrol Shi came out and persuaded: "The two adults extinguish the fire...... As long as Xu Tingshi can appease the people, it doesn't matter if he is working for relief or giving money for free, it's okay......"
"Humph!" Deputy Manager Sun turned around and ignored Xu Qing, and Xu Qing stopped shouting. The Imperial Inspector pulled Xu Qing aside and whispered to Xu Qing: "Sir, I have seen many states and counties along the way, and only Sir's grain is the most and the best. Presumably, the lord used an extraordinary method, and since this is the case, it is also feasible for the lord to have an extraordinary method for accommodation. I hope that your Excellency will not care about the words of General Manager Sun, and the official will return to Beijing to ask for the first credit for your lord in front of the emperor. ”
"Thank you, my lord, I don't care......" Xu Qing replied: "I don't know when the victims of the disaster should enter the country?" ”
"Right away, tomorrow night at most." Patrol the history road.
After sending the three of them away, Xu Qing asked Liu Su to transport 2,000 stone of old grain to Shandong, and instructed him to only sell it around and not enter the country.
