Chapter 485: Do what you like
The bamboo pole is eight meters long, and the barn is seven meters deep.
If the bamboo pole goes deeper than half of the place, it is found that it has reached the bottom and cannot go deeper, and it can be seen that the cellar is a double-layer warehouse.
Of course, the allusion of "double-layer warehouse", after all, comes from a modern TV series, and the background of this TV series is still the Manchu pigtail period.
For example, if you put sand in the grain, then carve some traces of small recesses on the bamboo poles, and insert the bamboo poles into the warehouse, if you can smoothly reach the bottom layer, but when you take out the bamboo poles, you find that there is sand in these recesses, and it is obvious that there is a problem with the warehouse.
In addition, in this era, as a person before the age of five, 365 days a year can eat 300 days of old grain, for no other reason, the old grain is not as valuable as the new grain of the year, the more you put a year's grain in the future, the cheaper it is, Grandma Liu is a picky and search-oriented character, so every year she has to replace the new grain she has collected with the old grain that has been put for three or five years, no matter how she cooks it, it tastes musty.
If it weren't for the fear that the old rice that had been eating for a long time would have a bad stomach, and asking a doctor to take medicine would have cost a lot of money, Grandma Liu might have changed the moldy and spoiled grain, with Liu Chenxing's understanding of Grandma Liu, Grandma Liu must have thought that the grain was moldy and spoiled, it was also food, why couldn't she eat it!?
Fortunately, there was a previous occurrence in the village that she almost lost half of her life by eating the moldy grain, and there was Liu Lao Zhang's pressure on it, so she would not eat the moldy grain.
As for the sixty-five days of the year, why doesn't she have to eat stale grain, because she went to Grandma Liu's house, and the fragrant new grain of the season, even if there are no side dishes, can make her burst into tears.
Alas.
A sigh.
The past is unbearable.
But there is Chicken Soup Day for the Soul: the past experiences are the precipitation of the present.
That's not it.
The same principle as mixing sand in grain is that old grain is put in the cellar, even old grain that has been completely moldy and spoiled, and the price of grain stored for three and five years can only be half of the new grain of the current season, and the grain paid from all over the world every year is new grain.
If the new grain harvested every year is replaced with old grain that is moldy and spoiled, the windfall profit is no less than that of sand.
Each cellar has a stone tablet with a clear indication of the time when the cellar was placed. In addition, in order to prevent decay caused by excessive storage time, according to the provisions of the "Warehouse Order", the new grain paid will be replaced with old grain every year and continue to be stored.
In this way, after the bamboo pole was stretched into the warehouse and taken out, it was found that the place where the bamboo pole was recessed was brought out was the grain that had been moldy and spoiled for seven or eight years, and the problem came out again.
Of course, the corrupt officials can justify that this is just due to improper storage, but aren't they just because Taicang has suffered huge losses every year to inspect it? As long as a bigger problem is discovered, there will always be some clues if you go down the vine, after all, it is impossible for so much grain to be resold without leaving any evidence.
In the end, the strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, these craftsmen are the people of the Taicang Bureau, although they did not let the officials of the Taicang Department participate in the inspection, but their methods of checking will inevitably not be leaked, so it is still the same sentence, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and if it is in a hurry, it will show its feet.
Liu Chenxing consciously thought of it one by one, and now she has only started to carry out the investigation work, her mentality is still very good, she is not affected by the words of Song Xuanru and others at all, and looks at the inspection of the first warehouse calmly, this is a model, and everyone will open a warehouse in this way later.
Xiong Yuan is very burly, and he was born in the army, which can be described as a body of strength, but in a moment, Xiong Yuan has already gone deep into the warehouse inch by inch with bamboo poles, leaving only less than a meter long bamboo pole length outside, obviously the first warehouse does not have a double-layer warehouse.
Xiong Yuan then pulled the bamboo poles out of the cellar and then inspected the outside of the bamboo poles one by one.
As Liu Chenxing envisioned, the outside of the bamboo pole was carved into a recessed place, bringing out the things stored in the warehouse, there was no sand or moldy grain, only normal storage of grain.
Xiong Yuan immediately took the long bamboo pole and said with his hands crossed: "Back to the king, the first warehouse is checked correctly, everything is normal." ”
Shen Zhongyi bowed.
Xiong Yuan immediately said: "Seal the warehouse." ”
As soon as these words came out, the craftsmen who were waiting on the side immediately began to re-seal the warehouse with loess.
The mouth of the warehouse opened a small opening, and the two craftsmen cooperated, and it was only half a moment, and it took five or six minutes to modernize, and the mouth of the warehouse had been restored as before.
From the opening to the closing of the position, it was only one moment in total, which was half the time shortened by the two quarters of an hour that I expected.
As the main force that insists on all the opening and checking of the warehouse, the inspection of the first warehouse has been completed at this time, and Liu Chenxing is of course going to speak out.
"Your concerns are very clear to the lower officials. But as you have already seen, opening a warehouse and checking can not damage the internal grain stockpile. And since they have already decided to open a position, what is the difference between opening 50 seats and opening 500 seats? If you can safely open a warehouse and seal it, then you can reseal all 500 warehouses intact. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Chenxing's eyes became resolute, and his tone was a little less respectful of his predecessors in the workplace, and more of an imperative decisiveness.
"The so-called tiger is not in the tiger's den, even if all the positions will increase the probability of damage to the stored grain, the lower officials also insist on opening all the positions for inspection. One acre of land produces only six buckets of grain a year, and an ordinary farmer is fortunate to have 34 stone of grain a year, which is still a relatively good situation, but Taicang has a variety of improper storage every year, resulting in a grain loss of tens of thousands of stones! ”
"This time, with King Wei taking the lead and the three divisions involved, it can be said that the inspection of Taicang is the largest in the past years. This is an opportunity, if this time it can be picketed together, not only to deal with these corrupt officials, but also to deter the officials who will not dare to act rashly for at least ten years, so that at least the food that the people have worked hard in the next ten years will not be greedy. So as long as there is any possibility of finding out that one of them is greasy, the lower officials are not willing to give up! ”
One cannot arbitrarily judge a person.
However, in addition to Wang and Zhang in the inspection team, two of the four four-grade bosses, two of whom are the sons of old friends of teacher Jiang Mo, have repeatedly helped themselves today, especially Feng Tao's words just now are really serious.
After she came into contact with it like this, she felt that although these bigwigs were affected by all aspects of power, career, and family, they still had the world in their hearts, and among all their worries, they were even more worried that the little grain stock would be damaged again, so what Liu Chenxing said was a righteous remark, sonorous and passionate.
It's not that the scholars who had the ability in ancient times still had a ravine in their hearts, and now they are revering the mountains and Wei and Jin dynasties, so she should be able to get right into the middle of her words, and by the way, she will circle a wave of goodwill.
Even if there is a person with a good heart and an evil heart, he will love the reputation of the people of the time, and he has to respond to it for the name of caring for the people.
After saying this, Liu Chenxing smiled and waited for a response.
