Ji Qingling's heart tightened when he heard this, and he asked in a low voice: "Fifth brother, the Chang Ping position in Yongqiu County was originally to offset the Guangnan military difference?" If the price of food soars this year, what can we do if we can't make up for it? ”

There is a 100,000 stone in the ordinary state capital in the Changping is already the top of the sky, even if it is the land of Gyeonggi, there can be so much grain storage in Yongqiu County, it is also an unprecedented thing, but the Great Jin Dynasty is waiting to go south to Jiaozhi, because Yongqiu is adjacent to the Hebei land, it is easy to buy and collect grain, it is the middle of the year Shu specially ordered to build more than ten warehouses outside Yongqiu County, for storing grain and millet, in order to offset the grain tax difference in Liangguang, Jinghu, Sichuan and Shu, one is to prevent disasters, to help the displaced people, the other is that this year's harvest is not good, but also to take out to stabilize the price of grain.

Gu Yanzhang said: "Don't you hear about the changes in Yan'an Mansion? ”

Hearing the three words of Yan'an Mansion, Ji Qingling had nothing to say.

This is actually more than 20 years ago, when the Great Jin Dynasty fought the Northern Barbarians, it was supposed to call the Yan'an Mansion Changping in the grain straw, but the front foot edict arrived, and the fire broke out in the night of the same day, reflecting half of the sky burned red, and the fire burned for two days, no matter how it could not be extinguished, it naturally burned the grain and brocade silk.

There was such a big thing in the battle, the three armies were already outside, because of the lack of food and grass, they had to hurry back to the court, at that time it was still the Empress Dowager Zhang, after the incident, she was angry and ordered a thorough investigation, but because all the evidence was wiped out, in the end, I had to punish the corresponding officials, and rectified the local treasury and storage, and it was over.

Because of this old incident, since then, the functions of the Transshipment Department have also been added to the function of assisting in the management of regular liquidation, and the Criminal Division is required to go to Texas County every year to check its accounts and treasury in detail to prevent misappropriation.

However, no matter how complete the law is, as long as it is profitable, there will always be people who will rack their brains to exploit loopholes.

Speaking of this topic, the atmosphere in the room gradually became heavy.

Public is public, private is private, Gu Yanzhang doesn't want to spend twelve hours a day, his mind is full of such official matters that affect his mood, he has the heart to divert the topic, because seeing Ji Qingling's thoughtful expression, the right hand is holding the tea cup and sticking it to his lips, and he hasn't taken it down for a long time, so he can't help but smile: "Holding that porcelain cup, I don't feel sour." ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, took down the teacup she was holding and put it back on the table, and gently pushed a small plate of grapes that she had just peeled in front of her, and said, "These grapes are sweet and sour, you can eat two and see if you like it." ”

Ji Qingling obediently said "oh", she was going to look for a bamboo stick, but she looked down and didn't find a bamboo stick, but she saw that there was still a small circle of purple red skin left on the oval tail of the grapes. ”

The corners of Gu Yanzhang's mouth couldn't help but hook up, and said with a smile: "Although I washed my hands, if my fingers touched the flesh, I was afraid that you would be dirty, so I simply left a circle of skin for me to pinch, and also left a piece of evidence, so that you didn't touch it when you looked at me." ”

Ji Qingling was surprised: "When did I ever think that the fifth brother was dirty...... That's nonsense! ”

As soon as she spoke, she saw the other party looking at herself with his eyes, and the expression was meaningful, so that she couldn't help it, and suddenly remembered the things on the road in the past two days, and suddenly her cheeks were hot, and she wanted to take a sip of him, but the other party didn't say anything, even if she refuted, she had nothing to refute, so she had to be annoyed: "Fifth brother!" ”

However, she screamed, and then she didn't know how to scold to relieve her anger, so she was stuck in her throat.

Her cheeks were slightly red, half hot by the heat, half annoyed, but her expression was smart, Gu Pan was cute and cute, Gu Yanzhang saw it in his eyes, he was really reluctant to tease him anymore, he only felt that he had to sit with Ji Qingling for a moment now, and he didn't feel hard anymore, and he couldn't help but show a relaxed smile on his face, so he simply moved the chair over, next to her, and said softly: "Don't tease you, are the grapes delicious?" ”

Ji Qingling picked one up, tasted it, and said with a smile: "The grape flavor is sufficient, but it's a little too sour." ”

As he spoke, he took another one, pinched the grape tail and wanted to hand it to Gu Yanzhang, but when he saw that the other party came over, he didn't mean to reach out to pick it up, he just stared at himself fixedly.

Gu Yanzhang has been idle for almost a few days since he went to Guangnan, and it was easy to return to Beijing, and it was one thing after another, and now he was sent out to patrol around, his complexion was naturally darker than before, and there was less flesh on his face, because of the hot weather, there were still a few drops of sweat on his forehead, but when he looked at Ji Qingling, he was still the same as before, he had not changed at all, he was focused and enthusiastic, and there was indescribable simplicity and innocence in it.

Ji Qingling was looked at by such a pair of eyes, where could he still say the word "no", so he had to secretly annoy in his heart: A grape is also worthy of you like this, but he honestly fed him in his hand, and remembered to ask in his mouth: "Is it a little sour?" ”

Gu Yanzhang cheated this, but he didn't expect to really coax Ji Qingling to feed himself, a grape was eaten in his heart, and he was satisfied, where can he eat the taste, let alone distinguish the sweet and sour, he only thinks that it should be too sweet, but it seems to be a retrospective at this time, as if it is really a little sour, he was stunned for a while, and simply said cheekily: "Give me another one?" ”

***

The two said that they were eating grapes, and after eating, they naturally had to be next to each other, and when the grapes were finished, they couldn't tell whether they were sweet or sour.

It's just that when the evening is cleaned up and the two go to bed, Ji Qingling still can't help but think of what she said during the day, she turned over and whispered to Gu Yanzhang: "Fifth brother, when you arrive in Yongqiu County, Chang Ping is so big, the official silver and cloth are still there, how to check the grain?" It's impossible to take it all out and weigh it all, right? ”

"It is impossible to weigh such a number, I heard that the original practice in the Criminal Division is to use bamboo poles to measure the height of grain, and then infer the number of stored grains from this, and then check them separately, but I always feel that this method is not cheap." Gu Yanzhang replied, "If there is ash, sand or mildew in it, it will be tested separately, if it is let go, it will be troublesome to turn around, so I am still thinking about other methods." ”

Ji Qingling hesitated in his heart for a long time, but still didn't speak.

Regarding the inspection of Changping grains, there is another method that has long been used in later generations, and this method is actually proposed by "Gu Yanzhang".

Seeing his hard work, she couldn't help but want to come up with a method that would be passed down to future generations, but she felt that this method could have been thought of by the fifth brother, and it was best for him to come up with it himself.

Ji Qingling had something in his heart, and his face couldn't help but show a little bit, Gu Yanzhang saw it in his eyes, and only thought that this was his wife worrying about him, so he comforted softly: "Don't think about this now, you will go to Deyongqiu in two days, as long as you take advantage of the situation, take this place out to make an obvious example, make an example, and see the rest of the place, you will naturally be more timid." ”

He also said: "As for wanting to clean up the atmosphere, it is impossible to do it without decades, and if you want to achieve it overnight, it is just a dream, and you can't be in a hurry, and you have to do it slowly." ”

Ji Qingling also laughed, and said softly: "I heard from the old man hired from the capital in the palace that since Fan joined the government, the atmosphere in the DPRK and China has been much better than before, and now Huang Dashen has been replaced, although he is also selfish, he is generally willing to do things, and he will ...... in the future If the fifth brother enters the political hall, I just hope that it can be better......"

As she spoke, she suddenly became a little embarrassed, only half raised her eyes, and whispered: "It's just that seeing that things are messy and complicated, everything is not easy, and I can't help but worry about the fifth brother......"

Gu Yanzhang smiled when he heard this, and said softly: "I'm not in a hurry, since I have done my best, I am naturally worthy of my heart, besides, ...... With you always by my side, I just feel at peace in my heart, and I'm not in a hurry...... Steady down is ......"
