Chapter 218 There are corrupt officials every year

Since the drawings have been set and the emperor is satisfied, Luoyang will basically be built according to the drawings, and there will be no major changes during the period.

Daxing City was built in that year, using the "Book of Changes" Qiankun hexagram in the six lines of the layout, from north to south, divided into ninety-one, ninety-two, ninety-three, ninety-four, ninety-five, ninety-six, a total of six lines.

Luoyang, on the other hand, corresponds to the urban planning and the stars in the sky, and is divided into three parts, the palace city, the imperial city, and the outer Guo city, which correspond to the stars in the sky: crape myrtle, Taiwei, and Tianshi.

Therefore, the name of Luoyang Palace City has been decided, called Ziwei Palace, which is the same as the name of the palace of the Emperor of Heaven in myths and legends.

"Why is the city tilted to the east, instead of sitting squarely north and facing south?" Yang Da asked curiously.

Yu Wenkai explained: "There are two reasons, firstly, it depends on the trend of Luoshui, the river runs from west to east, running through the city, the west waterway is southern, and the east waterway is northern, and the whole is an oblique line."

Yang Da asked again: "Since the water flow is tilted, why not excavate both sides of the bank and let it pass through Luoyang, now this drawing, the whole Luoyang is oblique, it looks awkward."

Since ancient times, the houses in China have been very particular about sitting in the north and facing south, one is for lighting, and the other is to avoid the north wind, because the geographical location of China determines that the winter wind blows from Siberia in the north.

Yu Wenkai explained with a smile: "Ziwei Palace is where the Emperor of Heaven lives, so Luoshui passing through the city is the Milky Way in the sky, how can it be excavated casually?"

Yang Da didn't understand these feng shui ways, so he had to continue to ask, "What is the second reason besides Luoshui?"

Yu Wenkai said: "Luoyang is slightly tilted, so that the central axis of the city is facing Yin Que Mountain in the south of Luoyang, Your Majesty has renamed Yin Que Mountain Longmen, leading the dragon qi of the mountain range into the city, and the qi of the auxiliary crape myrtle will rise."

All right....... Yang Da understood, he just asked, anyway, the drawings were set, he was a deputy supervisor, just do it.

During this period, Yu Wenkai looked at Yang Ming, who closed his eyes and pondered:

"Your Highness, do you still have any doubts?"

Yang Ming didn't open his eyes either, and said, "How many people have been requisitioned now?"

This aspect is mainly done by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so Yu Wenkai looked at Wei Fusi, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on the side, and only listened to Wei Fusi:

"Henan has already started to levy last month, and now it should be more than 400,000, and when we arrive in Luoyang, it will be about 600,000, which is also a number set by His Majesty, if it is insufficient, it needs to be requisitioned."

Wei Fusi is the second son of Wei Shikang, who is the first governor of Jingzhou in the Great Sui Dynasty and the eldest brother of Wei Chong, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

The current Ministry of Civil Affairs is basically Jingzhao Webster's decision, especially now that they have the big backstage of the crown prince Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao asked again: "Sixteen strategies, do the officials of the following ministries and the military government know about it?"

"Well....... "Not yet."

Yang Ming opened his eyes and said, "Send someone to pass it on immediately, and all the officials and military governments involved in the construction of Tokyo must do the same."

[In view of the general environment,

Wei Fusi hurriedly nodded: "The minister will send someone to order."

….

Yang Ming stood up, looked at the drawings on the table, and said:

"The city should be built together with the granary, so as to facilitate the grain reserves transferred from all over the country, and not so many grain cellars should be built first, so as to ensure the supply of fortifications."

In Yang Guang's preliminary plan, Luoyang will build three granaries, including Jiacang, Huiluocang and Xingluocang (Luokoucang).

Among them, Hanjiacang is located in the northeast corner of the imperial city, and Huiluocang is located on the edge of a village in the northeast of the city.

As for Xingluocang, it is far away, located in the southeast of Gongxian County, the confluence of the Luohe River and the Yellow River, because it is the mouth of the Luoshui into the Yellow River, so it is also called Luokou, there is the largest wharf in the Central Plains.

Just looking at the location of Xingluocang, you know that Yang Guang has been planning for a long time about the excavation of Tongji Canal.

Xingluocang goes fifty miles east along the Yellow River, which is the Bancheng of Xingyang County of Tongji Canal, which is one on the Yellow River from the Cao Wei period

Important ferry crossings.

Yang Guang had planned it a long time ago.

Yu Wenkai nodded and said, "Just do what Your Highness says, and when Luoyang is completed, it will not be too late to dig other grain cellars."

Of course it's not too late!

Because according to the drawings, there are 220 warehouses in a single Huiluocang, and the area of the entire granary is equivalent to the size of 50 football fields, and the total reserve of grain is estimated to be 355 million catties in later generations.

At present, there are four super-large granaries in the Great Sui, namely:

Jingzhao area, not far from Jingshi, Yongfengcang north of Weishui,

The lower reaches of the Yellow River, about 200 miles away from Luoyang, Liyangcang.

To the north of Luoyang, it is located in Heyangcang, Yanshi County.

and Shaanxi County, sandwiched between Luoyang and Hedong County, has a Chang Ping position.

These four granaries were built during the Kaihuang period, except for Yongfeng Warehouse, the others are located in Henan, wrapping Luoyang in it.

The granaries set by Yang Guang are closer to Luoyang, once completed, they will inevitably replace the status of Heyang warehouse and Changping position, as for Liyang warehouse, there is a saying of "Liyang harvest, solid Kyushu" in ancient times, so it basically cannot be replaced.

Yang Ming means that there are three granaries, each with thirty grain cellars, as long as it can temporarily ensure the construction and supply, and the rest will be taken slowly.

Yang Su agrees with Yang Ming's point of view, in Yang Su's view, with enough food security, in order to speed up the construction of Luoyang, it is not appropriate to divide too many migrant workers to repair the granary, because if you repair it, the granary is not satisfied, and it is vacant there, it is better not to repair it for the time being.

In the following days, everyone would board Yang Ming's main ship in the early morning every day to discuss affairs.

Their fleet has more than 100 large and small ships, more than 300 officials from various departments, and every time they dock, there will be chief officials from surrounding prefectures, counties, and counties to board the ships to report on engineering matters.

The construction of Luoyang, which dragged Hebei, Shanxi, Henan, and Jiangnan, into it is a state-level super project, and every magistrate in the surrounding area has received errands.

"Why hasn't the grain in Jiyuan County been dispatched yet?"

Several elders in charge of the construction of Tokyo gathered around a large table full of files, looking at the Hanoi County Taishou and several prefectural orders in the direction of the door.

In the face of Yu Wenkai's question, Hanoi Taishou Zhang Dinghe said:

"The official warehouse in Jiyuan County has less than 500 stones in stock and cannot be shipped."

….

Zhang Dinghe, is Yang Ming's old acquaintance, he followed Shi Wansui to fight the Turks, because of the merit, almost nothing, and then Yang Ming helped, and was sealed by Yang Jian Shangkaifu Yi with the three divisions, a few years have passed, but I didn't expect to be the Hanoi Taishou.

One stone is about 100 catties, and 500 stone is 50,000 catties of grain, which can be said to be very little.

There is a stipulation in the Kaihuang Law, 500 stones, which is the lowest line of the county-level official warehouse, and less than 500 stones, no requisition is allowed.

However, Jiyuan County is a county with a large output, and the grain stored in the granary of the county town should not be less than three or four thousand stones.

Yu Wenkai said angrily, "What about the grain? How is it only 500 stones?"

Zhang Dinghe first glanced at Yang Ming, and then reported to Yu Wen Kaiyu:

"After the autumn harvest last year, the wheat sent by Cao boat to Heyang Cang in Jiyuan County was 16,700 stones, of which 11,000 stone was levied by the local government, and the other 5,700 stone was requisitioned and transferred by the imperial court, so there was no grain in the warehouse."

Yu Wenkai was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wei Fusi, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who hurriedly ordered the left staff to check the file.

After a while, the results came out,

Princess Yuwen of Qin, gave birth to a grandson, and His Majesty rewarded 10,000 stones of wheat, and the 5,700 stones in Jiyuan County were in this.

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, and shook his head helplessly, the matter was actually found on his head.

Now it's okay, Yu Wenkai has nothing to say, so he diverted the topic and said:

"What about Xinxiang County? The warehouse here is not small, how can there be only 1,400 stone of surplus grain?"

Zhang Dinghe said: "The problem of Xinxiang belongs to the engulfment of officialdom, and the county orders Ma Chen

It was a dereliction of duty on the part of the subordinates to open an official warehouse and hand it over to the local grain merchants to sell privately, and it was just now found out that the amount of grain involved in eucalyptus had been as high as 150,000 stone over the years, and the officials and local gentry, a total of 36 people, had all been arrested and brought to the eucalyptus."

Yu Wenkai sighed and turned his head to look at Yang Ming:

"What does Your Highness think about these people?"

"Let's do it according to the law...... Raid the house and supply Luoyang,"

Yang Ming is in a very bad mood now, when he was in Jingzhou, he specially sent people to investigate the granaries in various places, and there were no major problems, so he naturally thought that no one in Hanoi County would dare to attack the idea of the official warehouse, and now it seems that there is more than just Hanoi County has problems.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozu Yang Jian, the law was amended, and the punishment for many major crimes was reduced, but those who touched the country's grain were to be punished.

With such a heavy punishment in front of him, there are still people messing around, corrupt officials are killed every year, and there are corrupt officials every year.

Hanoi County has ten counties, and the granaries of five counties cannot be sent to Luoyang, but more than 30,000 migrant workers are recruited and transferred from Hanoi County.

Where does the food come from?

After sending Zhang Dinghe and the others away, Yang Su looked at Yang Ming, who had a gloomy face, and said:

"It seems that there is still a need for additional levy on food, but there is really no way, so let's requisition some from the people, right?"

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "Suffer the people again? Yue Gong, how much grain can the people have in their hands? That's all the life of the lake, and if you want to recruit, you will also recruit the rich businessmen of the family."

Yang Su quietly gave Yang Ming a look, and Yang Ming then diverted the topic and said:

"The Criminal Department and the Ministry of Civil Affairs sent some people out to investigate the official warehouses in various places, but if there was no reasonable reason for the number, the offender's home was raided first and sent to Luoyang."

The accompanying members of the Criminal Department, Wailang Du Yan, and Wailang Wei Fusi, a member of the Civil Department, went down to make arrangements.

These two people were fished back from Jiangnan last year, not to tune, but to fish, because the two of them learned from Su Wei to live in seclusion in Zhongnanshan, waiting to be recruited by Yang Jian, but after Yang Jian heard about it, he felt that these two boys were selling their reputation and were directly exiled to Jiangnan.

After Yang Jian's death, their respective families hurriedly tried to find a way to dredge up, so that they could get people back, which can be regarded as a pair of difficult brothers.

Du Yan is Du Ruhui's uncle, and Xiangyang Taishou Du Zha is the same father, Du Zha was born to his father's ex-wife, and Du Yan's mother was born to the Taiyuan Guo family, who later continued the string.

Like them, they are definitely brothers, and they are all descendants.
