Although the military department is ostensibly under the military office, but in fact, the military department is directly under the metropolitan governor, and is in the hands of the metropolitan governor himself, and even until now, this military department has not appointed a director, and the reason is that only the subordinate departments of the metropolitan affairs perform their duties, and the logistics department is one of the several departments within it.

It was almost noon, **** Mao, who was wearing a military uniform, sat quietly on the chair, waiting for the summons of the logistics department, and at the same time wondering in his heart why he summoned him, did something happen in office?

The quartermaster is the difference between the righteous army and other armies at this time, the quartermaster is in charge of the army's righteousness and clothing, clothing, housing business, often deal with money, in the Qing army this is called the grain station or grain and grass officer, this kind of good and bad beauty, often by the chief officer's cronies to fill, and then collude with it, joint cooperation and disadvantage, the most common way is to "eat empty salary", but also take advantage of the opportunity of reimbursement, fraud, to underreport more, and even embezzle military pay to do business.

Unlike at this time, the domestic military officials and assistants were all entrusted by the officials, the military chief of the righteous army did not have the right to appoint and dismiss officers, and the important position of quartermaster was reviewed and recommended by the military logistics department, and the priority was given to the use of professionals, which was explicitly issued by the quartermaster department and formed a separate system, so that the military quartermaster and ordnance were separated from the self-system of the chief officer, and the breeding of ******** was overcome from the mechanism, providing a reliable guarantee for the army's logistics supply, getting rid of the military discipline problem of "requisitioning grain on the spot", and improving the degree of modernization of the army.

How to choose this professional has always been a difficult problem, but it is also thanks to the mixed situation in the army that professionals are found in the army.

And **** Mao, who was born in the second cabinet of Qianzhuang, was appointed as a quartermaster in this situation, and when he was in office, he was indeed extremely competent, and he made many suggestions to improve the quartermaster system of the righteous army.

"Please come in!"

Entering the house, as soon as he saw the city sitting behind the table and reading the official documents, **** Mao hurriedly saluted.

"I've seen the sir!"

Pei Wu raised his head, pointed to the chair and said:

"Sit down. Serve tea! ”

Mao said hurriedly.

"Sir, I'll do it myself."

As he spoke, he took the tea tube, put the tea bowl, and held the pot to make tea.

Again sat down.

Pei Wu said to **** Mao.

"If I'm not mistaken, you came out of the second cabinet of Detong Bank!"

"Back to the sir, before being plundered by the Taiping Army at the beginning of the year, the humble position was indeed in the Detong Money Village."

Thanks to the file registration within the rebel army, Pei Wu will know this.

"I am the shopkeeper of Shengfu Pawnshop, counting, we are also half of the same peers, no one thought that there would be a day when the pen will be from Rong!"

It is true that no one thought that for Pei Wu, all he thought about was that his wife and children would live in peace for a lifetime, worthy of the employer's employment, but who would have thought that he would be camped by the Taiping army in Hankou, and then fled to the ship of the Dadu Governor, and no one can say for sure about his life, just like now he is wearing this military uniform and is in charge of many logistics affairs such as military supplies and ordnance of the righteous army, even he never dreamed of such a day.

"Back to Chang, I really didn't expect that there would be such a day!"

Shigeru hurriedly replied,

At this time, he was even more confused, this would be if Chief Pei asked him to come over and just chat, right?

Just in his doubts, he heard Pei Wu continue.

"Well, let you come over today, in fact, there is one thing to tell you, you also know that at the beginning of the customization in the house, when all the departments were employed, my side of the manpower is quite sufficient, but the manpower of the household department is insufficient, well, the idea of the metropolitan governor is to draw a few people from us, so I thought of you, how about it? Would you like to hear your thoughts and would like to go to the household department? ”

Mao Wan never thought that this was to promote himself, so he stood up suddenly, and said with a red face:

"Sir, this—"

Pei Wu pressed his hand, smiled, and said:

"Sit down, sit down, sit. Don't be inhibited. ”

Hurriedly sat down, **** Mao looked anxious, and said:

"Sir, I, I, this is going to the household ......"

Pei Wu smiled and said.

"Let you go to the household department because you understand money, but the military department and the household department are two systems, and the military department has a collar flower, well, it is Qiu Ba ...... in the eyes of readers."

Flicking his fingers on the ranks, Pei Wu continued.

"When you arrive at the household department, you are also a civil official in the house, so naturally you don't need to wear this military uniform, and when the time comes, you may not be welcomed, this is not a promotion. What do you think? Any other ideas? ”

As soon as Pei Wu finished speaking, he took a sip of the tea bowl and looked at **** Mao. After the establishment of this household, he has always wanted to insert a person in the household, and now is an opportunity, he naturally does not want to miss it, and the reason why he chose **** Mao is precisely because of his cleverness.

After thinking for a moment, **** Mao, who guessed the meaning of everything, nodded and said/

"Since the chief trusts me so much, I will do my best. I will never embarrass the rebels, but, sir, in the future, you should give more instructions and more training. ”

Pei Wu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said.

"Death to a man who is a confidant. As long as you remember that the Metropolitan Governor treats us like a mountain, and always has this loyalty, things will always be done. ”

There are two sides to the words, it seems that **** Mao is telling him to serve the governor, but in his words, he is reminding who promoted him, and **** Mao doesn't know, he hurriedly said:

"The lowly duty has been recorded, but the training of the commander just now has all been written down and engraved in my heart. Humble duty - repay the promotion of the governor and the governor! ”

"I don't have to repay here!"

Pei Wu waved his hand and said.

"Repay the Governor well. Most of the governors are thirsty for love, and you will have a great responsibility in the future. Okay, let's go through the formalities! ”

For the military to civilian, it is an opportunity for **** Mao. And after coming to the household department, he can also feel the rejection of him in the household department - after all, in the eyes of those scholars, he **** Mao is a layman, one has never achieved fame, and the other has not been a famous teacher, in the final analysis, it is just a money village and two cabinets, well, more precisely, Qiu Ba was born, in this case, the household is naturally "caring" for him.

However, even though he "cared for him," it did not affect his grasp of the important post of military expenditure accounting, and in fact, this was precisely the reason why he joined the household department -- to prevent the household officials from getting stuck in the allocation of military expenditures. Although the household department will not be able to suppress military spending, it will inevitably make some difficulties.

It's always easy to do things with your own people, which is the original intention of **** Maolai. But slowly, he forgot what he was trying to do, because he knew that he had to do something in this position.

"Military Salary Officer ......"

Once again, **** Mao stared at the information on the table, his brows were furrowed from time to time, and when he was writing off military expenses, he accidentally found a loophole in the issuance of military expenses, and this loophole was the military pay officer.

In fact, the military payroll officer is not a military payroll officer, but an officer temporarily dispatched under the special military salary payment policy of the righteous army. The officer's task was to pay the local pay every three months, and this was because of the Rebels' pay system. When each rebel soldier entered the camp, he was given a receipt of money for his family's safekeeping.

In addition to the amount of military salary, the slip also wrote that the recruits needed to be screened after three months before deciding whether to stay in the camp. After staying in the camp, he will be deducted 125 yuan of silver every month once every three months, and then the personnel will be selected to go to the original place of origin of the arsenal to pay it. A notice was issued in advance informing the family members to come to collect the money in person with this certificate; This claim must not be lost; Causing others to claim fraudulently. For this purpose and to the family members of the deacon, it is properly stored.

This was so that the soldiers' salaries could be used to support their families and not be squandered by them, and at the same time to avoid desertion, because they were recruited with guarantors and control over their families, so that desertion was naturally avoided. But this also brings a disadvantage to the payment of military salaries.

"The military salary is paid once every three months, 7.5 taels per person, 50,000 people, almost nearly 500,000 taels, and this silver has been transferred from the household department, and in the account of the military department, this silver is allocated in full every month, but the problem is ...... Where did the silver go? ”

"My lord, is there less money?"

Looking at **** Mao, Li Dingchen asked rhetorically, as a section member, he had never underestimated this Wang section chief, and he knew more about silver money than others.

"Nope!"

Shigeru shook his head.

"But the silver disappeared for a while."

If he didn't have the experience of a quartermaster, **** Mao would naturally not be so curious, but he knew very well that he had never seen that silver, and the monthly salary he received was only 1.5 taels per person, which was the soldier's food and allowance. The remaining 2.5 taels of military salaries for ordinary soldiers shall be paid once every three months by the Quartermaster Battalion Section.

“…… But the problem now is that this silver is transferred to the troops on a monthly basis, and every three months the regiments return to the battalion affairs section, and the battalion affairs section sends a military payroll officer to the local area to distribute it. How did it disappear? ”

"Since there is no shortage of silver, is it necessary to check it out? Maybe if you continue to investigate, some people will be implicated! ”

Who will be involved? You don't have to think about it, Li Dingchen's reminder made his brows frown, if there was no person, there would be no where he is now, it was that person who selected him from a group of big-headed soldiers.

"When the time comes, how will it end, have you thought about it?"

"This ......"

His brows were tightly locked, **** Mao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, the whole person was hesitating, he didn't know if he was doing it right, but in his heart, he already had an answer, after being silent for a long time, he shook his head, looked at Li Dingchen and asked rhetorically.

"Who will be implicated? Of course I thought about it, but ...... If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good and evil? Someone needs to do something! (To be continued.) )
