Chapter 499: Giant Rat
Unloading, loading, transportation, and warehousing were all carried out in an orderly manner, and Wu Yuanqing followed back and forth twice before letting the wind go.
Yoyo Dada wandered around the warehouse city, looked at this warehouse, looked at that warehouse, and looked at it and found that the large and small warehouses or warehouses here are all the same.
They are all oval-shaped deep pits with large mouths and small bottoms, with a small diameter of about 10 meters, a large one of more than 100 meters, and a depth of almost four stories as high.
In Wu Yuanqing's opinion, the project was quite large, and in later generations, there was also a grain depot near their home, and at that time, the state had not exempted the grain tax, and they had to go there to pay the grain after receiving the grain every year.
But the grain depot is all on the ground, and the cover is the general warehouse style, all of them are round, with a roof, but the roof is not sealed, just like the umbrella cover is pressed very low, so that the rain cannot float in.
Like digging pits in the ground, this kind of cellar, that is made by every household, Wu Yuanqing's cellar is very small, just put some potatoes, cabbage, or a little fruit or something, after Wu Yuanqing is older, he can't drill the cellar mouth, and he can't turn around when he barely goes down into it, and he dies a little more than a square meter.
How can it be as huge as Hanjiacang, not only do you have to dig so many big pits, but you also have to go through fire drying after digging. After the fire, the soil became very hard, just like the crockpot porcelain. But this is only the first step, after which the ashes of the plants and trees must be spread on the bottom of the cellar, and the planks will be laid on the boards, and the mats will be laid on the planks, and then the mats will be laid after the chaff is laid; The walls of the cellar are also treated in the same way, that is, a layer of chaff is sandwiched between two layers of mats, and the grain is filled inside, and it rises as it is loaded. The pen and the fun pavilion www.biquge.info to half a meter above the ground to lay a layer of mats, a layer of chaff on the mat, and a layer of mats on the chaff, and then seal the soil, a grain cellar is completed.
Because the process is more troublesome, a grain cellar will not be easily opened unless it needs to be transported after it is full.
The general location is relatively humid grain cellar, millet these coarse grains are stored for five years, rice is stored for three years, like Hanjiacang is located in the northeast of the city, don't look at the river outside, there is a wharf, but the terrain is actually very high, so it belongs to the dry land, the grain here can be stored in millet for nine years, rice for five years.
"Hey, you guys stop me."
Walking around, Wu Yuanqing walked to a grain cellar located in the south of the reservoir area. When I looked up, I saw that the door of the granary was wide open, and seven or eight carriages were parked there, and the carts were already full of sacks of grain.
Looking at the road leading to the south gate not far away, there were already several horse-drawn carriages full of grain that were about to walk to the door.
What's the situation, the main role of this Hanjiacang is warehousing transit, the main service is Guanzhong, is Chang'an, to send grain there should also go out of the north gate, how can you go to the south gate?
Wu Yuanqing was shocked, could it be that someone stole and sold the grain in the warehouse? Thinking so, Wu Yuanqing shouted as he quickly ran towards the seven or eight carriages that were still parked at the warehouse gate.
"Who are you, where are you going to transport this grain, and who gave you permission to open this warehouse?" Running closer, Wu Yuanqing asked loudly.
The people who drove the carriage and loaded and unloaded were all people, and when they heard Wu Yuanqing's reprimand, they couldn't answer a word.
Wu Yuanqing turned his head to look at the sergeant guarding the warehouse gate, and said sharply: "Go and call the person in charge."
Although the sergeant didn't know who Wu Yuanqing was, he knew that there was a lot of origin by looking at the clothes on his body and the ornament on his waist, so he turned around and ran into the warehouse without saying a word.
After a while, a chubby petty officer in a green robe hurriedly ran out.
"Is that the position you opened?" Wu Yuanqing asked coldly.
"Yes, it's the official. I don't know if you are?" When the junior official saw Wu Yuanqing, he neither directly saluted, nor did he underestimate him when he found that he was not wearing an official uniform, but asked very politely.
"Benhou Wu Yuanqing, the former Shaoqing of Sinong Temple, well, today I was ordered by the emperor to supervise the storage of grain." Wu Yuanqing reported to the door.
"It turned out to be Wu Shaoqing, and the subordinate Qian Mingtian has seen an adult for this place." The petty official Qian pawn saluted respectfully.
Wu Yuanqing wants to just say that he came on the order of the emperor, or that he may not have a clear concept of the petty official who reported the title, but as soon as he signed up for the word, and the previous official position, the petty official Qian Ming had an intuitive concept.
It's even more respectful, no way, Wu Yuanqing's name he often hears. Because that's his proper boss, his boss. Sinong Temple is in charge of agriculture, distributing money, and warehousing.
This Jiacang is a very small part of Wu Yuanqing's previous authority. Wu Yuanqing can not know much about Han Jiacang and the officials here, but they can't help but know something about Shangguan.
Don't look at Wu Yuanqing now that he has no official position, he is no longer the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple, but he is still a Shangguan in the eyes of officials of Han Jiacang, and he is a person who has the ability to decide their official hats.
"Qian Ming, let me ask you, you opened this granary? Did you also let you transport the grain?" Wu Yuanqing didn't want to talk nonsense, and asked directly.
"Lord Hui, this is the order of the warehouse supervisor and the left and right Cangcheng." Qian Ming replied quickly without stumbling.
"Go, call me the warehouse supervisor and the warehouse manager." Wu Yuanqing looked at the sergeant who had just gone to call Qian Ming and ordered.
"My lord, what are you ,,,," After the sergeant ran away, Qian Ming asked a little nervously.
"Nothing, something to ask them." Wu Yuanqing smiled faintly, and asked again: "Qian Ming, do you know where this grain is going to be transported and what it is going to be for?"
"Lord Hui, these grains were bought by a few big grain merchants, and there is their warehouse less than five streets away from here." Qian Ming replied.
"Oh?" Wu Yuanqing smiled meaningfully: "This is only a dozen or so truckloads of grain in total, is it enough for a few big grain merchants?" Or did you already pull a lot of it away before?"
"How can these be enough, I heard Cang Cheng say that they have to buy a total of 400,000 stones, and they have already transported 100,000 stones before, and there are still 300,000 stones that have not been shipped." Qian Ming knows what to say and what to say.
400,000 stone !!!
Wu Yuanqing was startled, and two words came to his mind.
400,000 stones, there has been a year of Zhenguan, Zhenguan two years of experience in buying grain, raising grain, the martial family is a large grain merchant, for this number Wu Yuanqing has a very intuitive concept. One stone is more than 110 catties, and the poor people who drink scarcely at once are enough to live for a year, and 400,000 stones are enough for 400,000 people to starve for a year. Now one bucket is four dollars, one stone is forty yuan, ten stones are four hundred yuan, one hundred stone is consistent two, ten thousand stone is one hundred and twenty yuan, and four hundred thousand stone is four thousand eight hundred yuan.
It doesn't cost much, but you can see how big this amount of food is by looking at the number of people who feed it. Moreover, the maximum storage capacity of Hanjiacang is only more than 5 million stones, less than 6 million stones. Now the grain storage has not reached the limit, and 400,000 stone is almost equivalent to accounting for one-tenth of the grain storage capacity of Hanjiacang.
Rats and rats, no food for me. If you eat millet, you should kill it.
