Chapter 31: Sun Yuan's hand

Lei Tai knew that Sun Yuan was a layman for the autumn grain levy and transportation, even if he wished that he would die in front of him immediately, he couldn't let go of the impetuousness in his heart and explain it carefully.

"The county's autumn grain this year is 30,000 stones, divided into four districts, each district has a number of li and bao. There are already grain chiefs in the other three districts, among them, the Mao family leads two districts, and the Xichang Xin family leads one district, but the district where you are located has not yet decided on a candidate. After my recommendation, the county lord is kind and ordered you. ”

As Sun Yuan expected, the three grain chiefs of the other three districts were all sent by the family clan. Not to mention the impostor, the patriarch was born in the two lists of Jinshi, and he also served as the left political officer of the Huguangbu political envoy Yamen, a high-ranking official of the third grade, and a well-dressed family of the pretending family. As for the Xin family in Xichang Town, they are also scholars, and they are all people for three generations, and they are still in the official salt business. Only such a person can afford to lose money like a grain chief.

They are the top two rich people in Rugao, and some losses are just a drizzle for them.

However, the fact that the little Rugao had 30,000 stone of autumn grain to be finished every year still surprised Sun Yuan. One stone of rice in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to about one hundred and nine catties, and 30,000 stone is three million and 200,000 catties, and the grain output is really not small!

Lei Tai continued: "The two districts of the Mao family are responsible for carrying a total of 13,000 stone of autumn grain, and the Xin family is responsible for 7,000 stones. As for Chief Sun Liang, you are in charge of 10,000 stones. ”

Sun Yuan deliberately asked, "Why is this district I am responsible for so big?" ”

Leitai said, "This is a precedent. He dealt with the past, and continued: "Chief Sun Liang, you have never done the errand of transporting autumn grain before, and besides, the grain chief system has not been implemented for many years, so I will explain it to you again. Generally speaking, there are two types of local grain liberation transportation: Beijing transportation and matching transportation, and as for which county is responsible for the transportation of grain, the transportation of grain, or both, it is all determined from above. In the autumn grain of our county, nearly 20,000 stones are allocated, and 7,000 stones are allocated to Chongming Shasuo, which is the responsibility of the Xin family; Zhenhaiwei 13,000 stones, by the Mao family is responsible. Brother Sun, you are in charge of Jingyun, and there are 10,000 stones. ”

Hearing his explanation, Sun Yuan's head exploded with a buzz, and a raging anger rose, and he couldn't wait to swing it out with a punch and hit the fake smile on the face in front of him.

The tax grain of various localities can be divided into two parts according to the place where it is transported: first, it is kept in the local area for local expenditure, and this part is called retained; Second, it is transported to other places, and this part is called the ship. The departure can be divided into two kinds: one is to transport the Beijing division, called "Beijing transport"; The other is to allocate food to other prefectures and counties or to send military guards as official and military rations, and the names are reversed. Among them, the "Beijing Transport" is the most important, and the grain chief must personally escort it.

The messengers of the Mao family and the Xin family this time were all reversed, and only Sun Yuan was the only one who was in Beijing.

Chongming Shawei, as the name suggests, is on Chongming Island; Zhenhaiwei is in Taicang County, Suzhou Prefecture, these two places are only two or three hundred miles away from Rugao, if it is a boat, it is only two or three days of work, there is no transportation cost at all. This work, not to mention the impostor and the Xin family, can be easily completed even if you do it yourself.

Jingyun, that is to go to Beijing, the road is long, and it will take several months to go back and forth. Although the autumn grain is sent to the capital, after paying the errand, there will be a certain amount of return fee as a freight on the way. It can be calculated, less than 10% of the total delivery amount, but the freight and the people's food and drink along the way will account for 70% or even 80%. After a trip, 10,000 stone autumn grain, Sun Yuan will lose 80,000 stone, and that is the deficit that is impossible to fill!

really fell into such a huge deficit, and the court investigated it, Sun Yuan, as a small grain chief, would definitely be used as a scapegoat, and his head would be cut off with a click.

Seeing Sun Yuan's face change color, Lei Tai was also worried that Sun Yuan would see through the poisonous plan he had set up.

Deliberately smiled: "Brother Sun, you have also seen the world before, but you should not have been to the capital, the opportunity is rare, just go to see the vision, anyway, there are court expenses all you need along the way." I'm not afraid of your jokes, if it weren't for my official duties, I would have wanted to get this dispatch. ”

Sun Yuanqiang calmed himself down and deliberately looked excited: "Yes, yes, I haven't been to Nanjing before, and I have long wanted to go to the capital for a walk, but I don't know what kind of situation is at the feet of the Son of Heaven." ”

But I couldn't help scolding in my heart: Beijing, Lao Tzu lived there for five years when he was Beipiao in his previous life, lived in a basement, and was squeezed into **** by squeezing the subway every day, and I don't want to go to that place anymore.

Lei Tai said with a smile: "Nanjing is also the capital, if Sun Liangchang wants to send the autumn grain there, it is also possible." "Nanjing is a long way from Rugao, and the grain ships have to change to big ships to go up the river after entering the Yangtze River, although they are not as far as going to Beijing, and there are also a lot of expenses. After calculation, Lu Cheng has about forty percent of the expenses, which is impossible for Sun Yuan, a poor man, to bear.

Sun Yuan was thinking about how to get out of this huge crisis, but now his heart was still in a mess, so he kept leading Lei Tai to speak. First, it is good to calm down the chaotic mood, and secondly, you can also see if you can get useful information from Leitai's words. This is his previous experience in the shopping mall when he was a white-collar worker and a small boss, if you encounter a problem and don't know how to solve it, just find a way to still talk to the other party more, the so-called: say more and you will lose.

"Lei Zhu Bo, can you still choose a place for this liberation of autumn grain?" Sun Yuan asked in deliberate surprise.

"Yes, because of the distance between the places, and the autumn grain liberation of the imperial court is unreasonable. As a result, the provinces of a province sometimes accommodate each other. What's the matter, Chief Sun Liang, do you have any ideas? ”

Sun Yuan's heart moved, Lei Tai's sentence just now "Nanjing is also the capital" made him hazy and have an idea: Perhaps, this is the only way for Sun Yuan to get out of the current crisis. Moreover, if this thing is done well, it will have a thousandfold benefit, and it will also allow me to successfully dig the first pot of gold in this life.

It's just that this method is inexplicably dangerous, one is not good, and it is not good to fill in your own life.

However, if you don't do this, you will be at the mercy of Lei Tai and Mao Cheng, and you will die if you are different.

Fight, the great husband was born in the world, take a step back from hell, and go further to heaven.

In any case, it's worth a try. Although there are thousands of difficulties and dangers ahead, it is better to live worthlessly like now, and even become the fish of others!

Thinking of this, Sun Yuan's eyes lit up. However, he immediately put away the sharpness in his eyes, pretended to be stupid, slapped his thigh hard, and shouted: "This is good, can Lord Bo help me talk about it, let me transport autumn grain to Fengyang?" ”

"Fengyang, where are you going to do something?" Lei Tai was stunned.

"Fengyang is not also the capital, and Beijing can also be transported to Fengyang, right?" Sun Yuan suddenly felt a little nervous, for fear of hearing a negative answer from Lei Tai's mouth, and said continuously: "I'm not in a hurry to go to Beijing, it's late autumn soon, and when I get to Beijing, I'm afraid it's already three or nine days." I heard that it was very cold there, so I spat out, but before it fell to the ground, it was frozen into ice. I'm weak, I'm afraid I can't stand the cold, so I might as well go to Fengyang, that place is similar to the climate we have here. Also, I heard that it is the land of grandpa Longxing, planted thousands of acres of pines and cypresses, the scenery is very good, I have always wanted to go to see, please see that Sun Yuan is the face of the county's protΓ©gΓ©, and he is accommodating. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but bow his hands, and his face was full of begging.

"Fengyang is my central capital, and it can be regarded as Beijing's luck." Lei Tai smiled: "Coincidentally, my government has an envoy who sent autumn grain to Fengyang, but the amount of autumn grain in that place is not large, only tens of thousands of stones." Among them, there is Jingyun and there is also a transfer to the local Zhongdu Left-behind Division, if you insist on going. I sent a message to Gaoyou, asking them to exchange a few errands in the capital of the liberation movement with our county. β€œ

Seeing Lei Tai nodding, Sun Yuan felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and bowed down again: "Thank you Lei Master Bo!" ”

This thank you is sincere, and a stone in my heart has finally landed.
