The country's capital, food is the first.

In today's agrarian society, it is not an exaggeration to say that grain reserves are a basic national policy.

For this reason, this dynasty issued a clear regulation on a series of issues related to the warehouse in black and white - the "Warehouse Order".

In the Middle Ages, there were no modern advanced means of sterilization, insect control and preservatives, in order to make the stored grain not deteriorate and not be harmed by fungi and insects, the "Warehouse Order" had requirements for the location of the warehouse, the environment, the internal construction, the storage time, and even the storage and withdrawal of grain.

In fact, in the process of grain acceptance, warehousing, expenditure, etc., it is also crucial to maintain a sealed dry environment, after all, once the storage environment is damp, it will greatly shorten the grain storage time, and even directly deteriorate and rot.

Therefore, Article 9 of the "Warehouse Order" has a clear record: those who give out all the warehouses and cellars shall exhaust each room and cellar, and then use them more subordinately.

This is a regulation on the use of the cellar when it is distributed, and it is required that one cellar can be used before the grain in the next cellar can be opened.

Nowadays, although it is not necessary to take out all the grain in the warehouse and weigh it for verification, but to open each warehouse one by one, in fact, there is still a certain damage to the storage environment of the warehouse.

The importance of grain storage is self-evident, and in this special period, once an open warehouse is not properly handled, resulting in damage to grain storage, even if the original intention is to investigate the Taicang case, it is indispensable to bear a crime of damaging grain storage.

And according to the degree of damage to the stored grain, if it is particularly serious, it is not inevitable that it will end up with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, which is really called a fight to pull the corrupt officials off the horse!

Therefore, when Shen Zhongyi, who belatedly returned to the court of the Taicang Bureau, determined the plan for opening the warehouse for inspection, and then gave an order, arranged the next work, and bypassed the people of the Taicang Department, and directly asked Xiong Yuan to lead a group of Praetorian Guards to open the warehouse for inspection, the members of the inspection team were still a little hesitant.

I saw that each cellar not only has a shed with the same diameter as the cellar mouth to shelter from the wind and rain, but also seals the three layers inside and three layers outside the cellar mouth.

When each grain storage is completed, a layer of straw mat should be spread on the grain at the mouth of the cellar, then one or two feet thick of grain bran, then a straw mat should be laid, and finally sealed with loess.

That is to say, to open a warehouse, you must first remove the loess at the mouth of the cellar, and do not ensure that the least possible entry into the air, bacteria and other factors in the warehouse affect the storage of grain, the opening can not be opened, the verification time should be short, and the warehouse mouth should be re-sealed by the craftsman immediately after the inspection.

In addition, if all 500 warehouses are opened and inspected within three days, it is necessary to divide the labor and apportion a certain number of warehouses and cellars by the members of the inspection team to check at the same time.

In order to ensure that the members of the inspection team and the Praetorian Guard led by Xiong Yuan can grasp how to open a position in the first warehouse, it is carried out under the attention of their wave of people.

Seeing that Xiong Yuan, who was the pawn of the Wei Wangfu, took the lead in taking the iron tool and began to dig up the loess at the top of the cellar mouth, Sinong Shaoqing Xiang Wei was regarded as a professional assistant to the entire inspection team, and he was more aware of the risk of opening a position, so he couldn't help but take the lead in speaking.

"King Wei, this method proposed by Liu Nushi is indeed different from the previous inspection, and it should be the most effective way to check the true situation of the warehouse so far, but it ......"

After all, they had already agreed to this method of inspection at the beginning, and the empress was really angry this time, and there were countless pairs of eyes staring at the government and the opposition, if they didn't hand over the results of the previous inspections, they wouldn't be able to pay the difference at all.

Thinking of this, Sinong Shaoqing Xiang Wei couldn't stop it, but looking at Xiong Yuan's destruction of the loess, his heart trembled, as an official who has been dealing with grain all year round, he still couldn't let go of his persistence in his professional field, and said what he had said.
