In the early morning of the next day, Wuji was practicing boxing outside the hospital, and the yacha came to invite him, and the county Chengtian Zhiquan and the master Bo Xu Shiming had something to report.

Wuji tidied up, changed into official clothes, and came to the front hall.

After the three of them greeted the ceremony, Tian Zhiquan said: "Baili Ming Mansion, the next official will first introduce the people's livelihood situation in Badong County. Then Xu Zhubo reported to the Ming government the various revenues and expenditures in the ya. ”

"Tian Xiancheng, please." Mowgli nodded.

"In Badong County, there are 18,600 households, including 9,500 households in the south of the Yangtze River, with a total of 95 lizheng; There are 9,100 households in Jiangbei, with a total of 91 li Zheng....... ”

Baili Wuji suddenly asked: "Tianxian Cheng, how much is the yield of one mu of grain field in this county (Note 7), and what is the tax rate?" ”

Tian Zhiquan thought for a moment and replied: "The county's high-grade fields yield two stones per mu (Note 8); Medium fields yield one stone and five buckets per mu; Inferior fields yield one stone per mu. The field tax is one of eight draws; 1 out of 10; One out of twelve. ”

The lord Bo Xu Shiming briefly reported how much grain there was in the county government and how much money was left.......

After listening to the report of the two, it was almost noon.

Just as he was about to disperse, suddenly a messenger came in to report: "The county order, Yu Cunzhong, the captain of the Chengbei Unity Military Academy, asks to see you." ”

Wuji was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Unity Army? Tian County Cheng, is there a garrison in this county? ”

Tian Zhiquan replied: "Yes." ”

During the period of the former king Gao Jixing, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed the former Shu, Gao Jixing got the two states of Gui and Xia. He originally wanted to seize Kui, Zhong, Wan and other states, but he was defeated by the Later Tang Dynasty and gave up. At that time, the territory of Guizhou was constantly fighting with the former Shu, the Later Tang and Chu. Gao Jixing set up an army in Padang, with 5,000 troops. Later, as the fighting subsided, the garrison gradually withdrew. By the time of the reign of the Supreme Emperor, the garrison had been reduced to 1,200 and had been transferred to the jurisdiction of the Prefecture Assassin.

Baili Wuji's heart moved, and he nodded and instructed the yacha: "Please." ”

Tian Zhiquan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Ming Mansion, I'm afraid I'm here to ask for food again." ”

Before Wuji could speak, a man in uniform had already rushed into the hall.

"So, the unity army will be in Cunzhong and have seen the Baili County Order, and he is polite."

The unity army will belong to the government army, and the official residence is the same level as the county order is the seventh grade, but the civil and military officials are different, not the lower officials of Wuji, and they are directly under the jurisdiction of the state government, so there is no need to respect Wuji as a superior official.

Yu Cunzhong is about forty years old, with a square face and cheeks, and there is a long-standing killing aura between Gu Pan.

After Wuji returned the salute, he said: "Yu Du is looking for something in this county, please sit down and say." ”

Yu Cunzhong was also not polite, found a seat under the hall, sat down and said: "Baili County Order, more than 1,000 sons and daughters under a certain command are waiting to be fed, and I hope that the county order will quickly allocate food." ”

Wuji asked puzzledly: "Tian Xiancheng, the garrison military food should be allocated by the state government, and it shouldn't be supplied by the county." ”

Tian Zhiquan smiled bitterly, shook his head helplessly and said: "The Ming Mansion doesn't know anything, the Unity Army did have a state government allocation at the beginning, and it has nothing to do with the local area of this county. However, since the fighting subsided, most of the border troops have retreated, and the supply of the Unity Army left behind now is self-raised. ”

"Is there any surplus grain in the Yamen granary?" Mowgli asked Tian Zhiquan.

"To feed more than a thousand soldiers, you need at least 400 stone of grain for a month. The county is weak and poor, and it has been three months since the county order left office, and in mid-March, the lower officials have allocated all the surplus grain in the grain depot to Yu Tun. Now that the old grain has been exhausted and the new grain has not been harvested, there is no surplus grain except for the fifty stone of grain needed for daily supply in the yamen. ”

Wuji turned his head to look at Yu Cunzhong.

"It doesn't matter what, I only know that there is no food in the army, so I should find your parents and officials to solve it. Otherwise, once the soldier is hungry, he is afraid that he will cause some trouble. "Yu Cunzhong is a scoundrel.

Hey......, I can't see that these five big and three rough men will come to this scoundrel style, Wuji thinks it's interesting.

However, the fact of food shortage is in front of us, and it must be solved immediately, otherwise it will really provoke a mutiny, and it will be a great crime.

"Tian Xiancheng, I don't know the ...... of Guancang" Wuji said before he spoke, but was interrupted by Tian Zhiquan.

"Ming Mansion, absolutely not, the official warehouse is sealed, once it is used privately, it is a crime of rebellion." Tian Zhiquan was anxious, thinking that you are someone above, who doesn't know that your father is the history of the Guizhou assassin, and your father-in-law is the younger brother of the king. In the end, this crime is not to let us top the black pot. So resolutely opposed, don't even think about it.

Wuji also knows that the road will not work, but isn't there no way to do it now?

At this moment, Wuji saw Lord Bo Xu Shiming wink at him with his triangular eyes. Secretly, it's not that he has a way.

So, Baili Wuji said to Cunzhong: "Yu will go back for the time being, the new appointment of this county, I need to discuss it with all of you in the yazhong, and give you an answer tomorrow, okay?" ”

Yu Cunzhong knew that this matter was tricky, and replied: "In this way, then so-and-so will go back and come back tomorrow." He gave a salute and went out of the yamen.

Seeing him leaving, Wuji turned his head and asked Lord Bo Xu Shiming: "Does Lord Xu Bo have a way to solve this matter?" ”

Xu Shiming said with a smile: "Ming Mansion, it is not difficult to solve this matter. All it takes is one word - borrow. ”

Wuji asked, "Borrow?" Borrow from whom? ”

Xu Shiming said: "Ming Mansion, which of the two patriarchs who toasted to the Ming Mansion last night didn't have thousands of stones in store of grain?" Borrowing a few hundred stones of grain is not a problem. The new county magistrate of the Ming Mansion will not refuse when he speaks for the first time, and he will return them when the grain is harvested. On the other hand, the Ming government can send a letter to Guizhou to assassinate the history, asking the state government to allocate some food to save the urgent need. ”

This dog thing, it turned out that I wanted to tear off the skin and beg these two squires. He also hit my father with the idea. Mowgli couldn't help but sneer.

It's not glamorous, but it's not a bad idea. Hey, Tian Zhiquan is stealing fun on the side, these two old things must have discussed yin and me together, bullying me as a young new county magistrate.

Wuji Zhengrong said: "This strategy is feasible, Tian County Cheng Ru took the county letter to the Zhu family to borrow grain, and Xu Lord Bo Ru took the county letter to the Jiang family to borrow grain, and the matter was handed over to the two." ”

Leaving two old men who were as stunned as wooden chickens, Wuji Shi Shiran went back to the backyard.

The next day, Tian Zhiquan and Xu Shiming completed the task of borrowing grain of 500 stone each and came back to hand over the errand.

Not to mention, those two patriarchs really give face. But the hands are short, the mouth is soft, and he owes this favor as soon as he takes office, so what will he pay back in the future. That's for the future, so leave it at that. With this thousand stone of food, it can also support the United Army in February and March.

At noon, Yu Cunzhong came to ask for food, and estimated that it was time to eat, so he came to the hall at this moment.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with a smile, knowing that things must have been resolved, this guy also felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't open his mouth.

Wuji said: "Yu Du, the matter of food has been solved for you. This thousand stone grain was borrowed from Na Na Na face. You and Tian County Cheng hand over by themselves and receive it on time every month. ”

Tian Zhiquan and Xu Shiming's faces were a little unnatural on the side.

Yu Cunzhong said with a red and purple face: "A certain generation of more than a thousand sons and daughters has thanked the Ming Mansion, and in the future, the Ming Mansion will have an order, and a certain person must obey it." ”

This idiot changed his words very quickly, who said that the fierce man had no scheming, thinking that Zhang Yide still wore embroidery needles back then.

Yu Cunzhong and Xu Shiming left after the handover.
