When the group arrived at the county seat, it was already afternoon, the sun was steaming the earth, and the hot sweat from the toes steamed the straw sandals hot, like everyone else, Zhang Liang was also sweating like rain, but his face was more crimson than others, perhaps it was his too white complexion.

A large open space outside the city gate near the wharf was filled with people of all shapes, with grain about to be handed over at their sides, waiting for the government to register. Looking inside, under the makeshift awning, dozens of government officials were busy. Zhang Liang and the others only followed the line at the edge of the clearing, but they did not see the team move forward for a long time.

Looking at this situation, even if the sun sets today, it is difficult to get in front of you. The sun is so big, how can it fight against this scorching sun? Isn't this looking for sun? Anxious, why is this government so inefficient, Zhang Liang and Zhang Niu explained to their fellow villagers, and went forward to see the situation.

I saw three rows at the head, all of them were a scribe sitting writing records, a bare-chested man, carrying a pole and weighing a scale, two farmers carrying the weighing tube on their shoulders, hanging grain under it, and an old man standing next to him, holding a voucher in his hand, singing a ticket, and then checking with the scribe. Not far away sat a school official, supervising the whole process. Under the shed at the back, some grain has been piled up.

Looking at the scribe's pages full of traditional numbers, it's no wonder it's so slow. Suddenly, Zhang Liang saw an acquaintance, a rich dwarf sitting in the shade of a tree who was talking and laughing with others, and it was the father of the child he had saved before-Li Xiancheng.

Zhang Liang was pleasantly surprised, there are people in the government who are easy to do, maybe they don't have to wait in line anymore, and they can pay their food and go home early.

squeezed over to Li Xiancheng and beckoned: "The county is safe."

Li Xiancheng looked up, paused, and suddenly said: "Oh, benefactor, you left in a hurry that day, and you didn't thank the great grace well, and you met 、、、, today, are you here to pay the gift?"

Zhang Liang said: "The county doesn't have to be like this, saving people that day is a natural act, and the county has already reciprocated, no longer need to be commensurate with the benefactor, just call it, Zhang Sanlang can"

Before he started talking, there was a sudden commotion, and when he looked, the county respected and came to inspect.

Li Xiancheng, immediately straightened, quickly got up, and ran towards the county commander in small steps, the county commander looked in his forties, medium stature, but he was quite strong.

Beside him, there was a fair-skinned beautiful woman wearing a man's beard and strong suit. Although she is dressed as a man, her makeup is simple, and you can see at a glance that this is a beautiful woman. is really good-looking, Zhang Liang carried forward the core posture of street women in later generations, staring at the beauties up and down to scan back and forth, debugging various data, and ignoring the beauties' eyes with any bad emotions. Even if this woman rolled her eyes fiercely, and finally realized that the long sword on the waist of the beauty, Zhang Liang instantly recovered to the realm of not squinting, how can beautiful women also like to carry murder weapons and be naughty.

Near the beauty, there was still a man standing, who was whispering to the beauty, Zhang Liang's heart was really unbalanced, and he was jealous of this 、、。 Hey, isn't this the part of the old man who used to stay with him? How could he be here, still shy next to the beauty. Damn, the most depressing thing is that the guy I don't like seems to be better than me. In fact, Gongsun also saw Zhang Liang, but thinking that his sword had not faded now, he couldn't let go of the pimple. nodded, and stopped looking at Zhang Liang.

The county commander looked at the busy scene in front of him, and asked the county lieutenant surnamed Liu next to him if he would send all the county officials who were familiar with the situation to the townships to urge the grain. Then he nodded again, stretched out his hand and invited the fellow who also looked like an official, and entered the city again, but left some people to supervise. Including Gongsun and the beautiful woman who doesn't know the name.

Li Xiancheng's fat face was very depressed. This progress, so slow, this is only the first day, the county's accounts are all transferred here, manpower is still insufficient, but also change the moisture-proof cloth bag, very cumbersome, two days later to load a batch of shipment, even if plus last year's inventory, this time, is too late. Li Xiancheng looked at the two staff members beside him, spread his hands and asked: "How is it good, how is it good" Seeing that the two young staff members couldn't answer, he subconsciously looked at Zhang Liang in front of him.

Zhang Liang was still thinking about Li Xiancheng's face, cutting in line, and when he saw people looking over, he seemed to have the intention of asking for opinions. It's always hard to refuse, after thinking about it, he said: "This year, Yizhou has a smooth wind and rain, and the rice grains are full, but this is weighing, and changing bags, and the weight of each bag is not the same, so it is necessary to calculate the addition and subtraction, the scribes have several logarithms, and they can't rest for a long time, and it is easy to confuse and make mistakes. , it's a little slower, indeed. Or, make a wooden box with a stone load, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and then add a movable baffle at the bottom, and open the board with a full stone. ”

The school supervisor who came over next to him interjected: "I'm afraid that the weight will be uneven, if there is a shortage of catties, I and other people will be flogged."

The beautiful woman with the sword also interjected: "I think this stinky hooligan has a good method, and now the imperial court is in a hurry, and the state capitals need to raise food as soon as possible, and the matter is urgent, even if there is a little less, it should not matter." Zhang Sanlang, hurry up and do it, 'Gongsun, who usually talks a lot, copied his hands and ignored him.

"Hey, how does this beauty know my name, did you ask Gongsun Na, haha, do I want the peach blossoms to bloom, and I am so remembered by the beauty,"

Zhang Liang replied: "A slight error, or add one more point to the wooden box, or add one more stone at the end, and it can be smoothed out." If you don't hire a carpenter, when you're done, try more, weigh it again, and see if it's feasible. ”

Li Xiancheng, who is fat, is very afraid of heat, and he doesn't want to stay under the scorching sun for a long time, just for the sake of the official, so he has to be here. If you speed up the progress and explain to the county, you will feel better.

I also think it is feasible, immediately let people find a carpenter, dictated by Zhang Liang, plus the carpenter's comprehension, only half an hour to make one, by the way to make a solid platform, after weighing a stone of grain many times, engraved on the scale, immediately open the gate, the grain naturally fell into the moisture-proof bag, so it was filled with more than a dozen bags, the supervisor personally held the scale, repeatedly measured, the result was no difference.

It seems that it is feasible to make it easier for the book to be signed with the name and agree to this move.

Then I did several more, and for a while, I felt that the manpower was sufficient. The secretary only counts the number of moisture-proof bags, and then pairs with the villagers to hand them over. It's a lot easier.

Li Xiancheng happily patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder: "San Lang, you are so smart, this method is really good," he said and looked at the two staff members who were following behind intentionally or unintentionally、、、
