Gu Yanzhang just wanted to scold himself for being stupid.

He thought all the way, day and night, and dragged his subordinates to think with his own family, always thinking about how to quickly separate the deflated valley, mold valley, sand and gravel, etc., one by one, and then do weighing.

Weighing is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in how to quickly separate different qualities of grain.

The color of the grain is different, there is light yellow, brown yellow and the rest of the color, it is naturally difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, use the dustpan to reverse, most of them can be sieved out, but there are always a lot of fish that slip through the net, and the speed is also slow, after the reversal, another must be carefully checked, otherwise it is very easy to mix the mildew millet in the good millet, and some sand and gravel are also yellow-brown, naturally not easy to pick up.

- But why did he separate??

The millet is yellow, but the rice is not! No matter which place it is produced, the new rice is white, and the color of the rice has changed, indicating that the warehouse is not moldy rice, or old rice.

Just like the horse's hooves, the good horse's hooves are white, the bad horse's hooves are yellow and black, and it is difficult to distinguish the skin on the outside.

At that time, the grain will be randomly extracted from all over the regular closing position, and the skin will be crushed with a mill, and only the rice will be left, and then the rice rate will be calculated, and it will not take much effort, and there will not even be any need to seconded the people in the county office.

Didn't Chen Ducai say that he was short of manpower at the moment, and he wanted to urge the autumn harvest, so it was not easy to transfer?

Then you don't have to be on an errand!

Where to use people, take the order book to the post station to borrow a few mules, blindfold the mule, twelve hours a day, can pull you for seven or eight hours, and will not complain, will not be bad, let alone secretly report the news - does Chen Ducai still expect the mule to pull a long face to talk to him?

Just eat a few more pounds of grass!

is so cheap and easy to use, compared to the errand in the county office, it is simply good and cheap, and it is difficult to describe how many good words and sentences it is!

Diligence, Mule!

If it weren't for the lack of kung fu at this time, Gu Yanzhang would have wanted to write a special book and write a "Mule Fu" to praise it!

He figured out the most troublesome point, he only felt comfortable all over his body, but he just thought of how to sample in order to really take grain from a pile of grains layer by layer, and he was stuck, and his mind was happy and annoyed, and for a while he actually forgot that he was sitting with Ji Qingling to eat, and because he was thinking about a troublesome thing in the future, he couldn't help frowning and thinking about it seriously.

However, Ji Qingling was sitting here, while taking the chopsticks in his hand to divide the horseshoe cake, and on the other hand, he secretly looked at Gu Yanzhang's expression, and he was really a little anxious in his heart-

The fifth brother was silent, how could she tell what she had just said, whether it was useful or not!

It seems to be a little too vague, but if it is too direct and inappropriate, in the end, this matter should be thought up by the fifth brother himself!

Ji Qingling was entangled, hesitated for a while, couldn't help it, and was about to speak, pointing the method harder, but suddenly saw the person next to him turn his head suddenly, his eyes were full of excitement, and he said to himself: "Qingling, you said that the horse's hooves can be distinguished from good and bad by peeling them, and the grain is peeled, can you also distinguish between good and bad?" If I mill the grain into rice, the deflated grain will naturally go, and the sand and gravel will be easy to identify, and there will be moldy ones that can be picked out at any time, do you think this method is not feasible? ”

He didn't need Ji Qingling to reply, he grabbed two chopsticks in his hand and pinched them unconsciously, and said again: "As long as you set an example for the grain, one stone of rice can grind a number of rice, five buckets, four and a half buckets, set the number of rice, and every time you hoard a number of grains in the warehouse, I am afraid that it will not take a few days to spot check the grain!" ”

Ji Qingling heard what Gu Yanzhang said, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, raised his head, and said with a happy face: "Fifth brother, this method is feasible!" It's just another trouble - the grain is piled so high in the regular closing position, how do you get the grain layer by layer? ”

She said as she secretly gasped.

That's it!

The granary grain storage in different levels of grain sampling mixed in one place and milled, the grain into rice, as long as each stone can grind out five buckets of rice, which is equal to a pound of millet can produce half a catty of rice, that is, the quality of the stored grain is qualified, this is the former "Gu Yanzhang" proposed to check the warehouse, check the warehouse.

Because when the grain was collected in the yamen, the quality of the grain handed over by the peasants had actually been inspected once, and when it was put into the warehouse, it was also re-checked, so that if there was no accident, there would never be a non-compliant result. If it is found that one stone of grain cannot grind five buckets of rice during the inspection, the yamen who collect the grain in the townships and counties will not be held responsible, but will only be held accountable for the officials who are in charge of the permanent liquidation.

Although this method has been improved many times later, the core has not changed, it has always been to peel the "grain", from "Cha Gu" to "Cha Mi", but to adapt to the different grain filling degrees in various places to change the standard, until a hundred years later, it is still used.

As for how to get food in layers......

After Ji Qingling finished speaking, he didn't dare to say much, turned his head to look at the clump of bamboo outside, and then turned around and asked, "Fifth brother, how are you taking grain from the warehouse for verification now?" ”

Gu Yanzhang said: "Originally, it was used to insert a bamboo pole into each hoard, measure and convert the number of grains and grains according to the height measured by the bamboo pole, and then disassemble each small warehouse, dig up the grain pile from the four corners, and take grain from each layer......"

This is one of the reasons why it takes time and effort to check grain.

Just imagine, how much grain has to be hoarded in a regular position, and if you don't hoard grain, you have to open the four corners, dig up the grain from it, and then take the grain from the four corners, if the manpower is enough, if the manpower is not enough, it is really ten days and half a month can not be done.

Ji Qingling didn't dare to say more, so he had to ask: "Is there any way to take grain from the middle at will without talking about grain hoarding?" ”

Gu Yanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Is there a way?

Naturally not.

What is exposed outside has always been the top layer of grain in the grain hoard, and if you want to take off the grain box without opening the grain box where the grain is stored, how can you directly take off the grain from the head?

Whose hand is so long that he can pull it all the way down from above......

The two sat and discussed for a long time, but they couldn't find a way.

Gu Yanzhang saw that Ji Qingling's face was a little sleepy, so he said, "Let's go and take a nap first?" The left and right already know how to check the quality of the grain, and it can be regarded as a thing, but I keep thinking about it, but I am tired of my brain......"

Saying that, he took the lead and got up, took Ji Qingling's hand back to the compartment, and really wanted to take a nap together.

Ji Qingling followed, and when they all entered the house, thinking about what to say, but they involuntarily walked to the end of the bed to prepare for the net harvest.

The basin was empty, and there was no water.

Her heart moved, while reaching out to ring the bell to call someone in, she turned her head and said to Gu Yanzhang with a smile: "Fifth brother, I heard that the soil and stones of Qutangxia Mountain in the White Emperor City of the previous dynasty were very hard, and it was difficult to dig wells for water. ”
