Entering the granary, the mountains of grain were presented in front of Hai Rui, which looked quite spectacular, and Hai Rui nodded imperceptibly when he saw this.

Seeing this, the official in charge of the granary immediately stepped forward, his face full of flattery.

"Lord Qincha, this is the largest granary in Henan!"

When Hai Rui heard this, he immediately turned around and asked the official.

"By the way, the official hasn't asked your name yet?"

Seeing Hai Rui, the minister, speak, the official in charge of managing the granary, looked flattered and immediately responded respectfully.

"If you return to Lord Qincha, you will be under the official Wang Tinghai!"

In this regard, Hai Rui only bowed slightly, and immediately came to the small mountain composed of sacks full of grain, and poked a small hole in the bag full of grain with his index finger.

In an instant, the white rice flowed out of the small hole.

Hai Rui leaned down, picked up a few grains of rice, and carefully studied them in the palm of his hand before putting them in his mouth and chewing them carefully.

After that, Hai Rui pricked several sacks full of grain with his fingers, repeating the same steps as before.

Then, I saw Hai Rui pat the dust on his palm, turned his eyes to Wang Tinghai and Yang Yinglin, and asked.

"Before he joined the office, this official also made a living by farming and studying, so he has shallow experience in this regard."

"Can you tell this official why there is still so much Chen rice in this official warehouse?"

Seeing this, Yang Yinglin glanced at Wang Tinghai without a trace, and scolded in his heart.

"This waste, you can't even do this little thing!"

Then, I saw Yang Yinglin forcibly suppress the panic in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and started a round.

"Lord Qincha is like this, in recent days, those grain merchants have not known what the news is, and suddenly began to raise the price of grain, resulting in the backlog of old grain in the official warehouse cannot be sold, and only then is there a backlog here."

"However, the lower officials have taken corresponding measures, and the price of grain will soon be stabilized, and at that time, the backlog of old rice in this official warehouse will soon be replaced with new rice!"

Seeing this, Wang Tinghai on the side also echoed the words.

"Yes, Lord Chincha, it's all the fault of those grain merchants."

When Hai Rui heard this, he nodded, as if believing the excuse put forward by Yang Yinglin, and then urged.

"It must be as soon as possible, this matter must not be sloppy!"

When Yang Yinglin heard this, he was also relieved, and immediately assured Hai Rui.

"Lord Qincha, don't worry, the lower officials will definitely implement this matter as soon as possible!"

At this moment, I saw a Xu official with an account book in his hand step forward and report to Hai Ruiyu.

"Lord Qincha, here is the grain stored in the official warehouse of Kaifeng Mansion, a total of 850,000 stones!"

"And the granary here, the grain stored is 7,900 stones!"

When Hai Rui heard this, he did not take the account book from the hand of the official on the side.

Instead, he took the rope ruler from the guards on the side, and in the incomprehensible gaze of Yang Yinglin and Wang Tinghai on the side, he threw it hard, and meticulously measured the hill in front of him composed of sacks full of grain.

Hai Rui calculates the number of bags of grain according to the scale on the rope ruler, and after Hai Rui finishes measuring the size, he immediately begins mental arithmetic.

After a few moments, Hai Rui got his head, nodded, and returned the rope ruler to the guard from earlier.

"There are two more bags of rice, one sack of white rice and one stone, a total of 300 catties of grain!"

"It is understandable that the grain in the warehouse is depleted, but how can this be explained for the extra 300 catties of grain for no reason?"

Hai Rui's voice fell, turned his gaze to Wang Tinghai, and asked unhurriedly.

When Wang Tinghai heard this, his brain crashed instantly, and he was stunned in place, unable to speak for a long time.

Seeing this situation, Yang Yinglin, who was on the side, secretly said that it was not good in his heart, and an eager look appeared on his face, and he urged.

"Didn't you hear what Lord Chincha asked you?"

Gradually, I saw Wang Tinghai come back to his senses, and there were large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

Just when he was running out of words and couldn't find a suitable reason, the afterglow of his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the mouse hole in the corner, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if he had grabbed some life-saving straw, and said excitedly.

"Rats, yes, rats!"

"Lord Qincha, I won't tell you that since the lower officials took up this official position, they have vigorously promoted the rodent extermination policy."

"The extra 300 catties of grain must have been obtained from the rat's mouth."

When Hai Rui heard this, he couldn't help but be interested, and immediately asked.

"In that case, then tell the official how to get rid of rats?"

Then, I saw Wang Tinghai in a hurry, picked up the basket on the ground, put it on his head, and reported to Hai Rui.

"Lord Yuqincha, in the official warehouse, the method of exterminating rats is to use a branch, tie a rope at the end of the branch, use the branch to support the basket, and then put in the basket what the rat likes to eat, and when the rat enters the basket, the person waiting on the side will pull the rope violently!"

"So the rat is trapped in the basket and can't escape."

When Hai Rui heard this, there were not too many emotional fluctuations on his face, he nodded, and said words of encouragement.

"Well, yes, it seems that this rodent control measure should be extended to the whole province."

"With this measure alone, a warehouse can produce an extra 300 catties of grain out of thin air, if the entire granary in Henan implements this law, the extra grain will be immeasurable, and the people will no longer have to go hungry!"

"Lord Wang, you did a good job!"

After Hai Rui finished speaking, he also patted Wang Tinghai on the shoulder to show encouragement.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Seeing this, Wang Tinghai had a flattered expression on his face, just like before, and admonished himself in his heart.

"Judging from Lord Qincha's attitude towards me, my Wang Tinghai should be soaring soon!"

"Wang Tinghai, you have to work harder, and strive to get the blue eyes of Lord Qincha as soon as possible!"

At this moment, Yang Yinglin stepped forward at the right time and asked Hai Rui.

"My lord, we have a few more places to go next, you see......"

Hearing this, Hai Rui turned around, shifted his gaze to Yang Yinglin's body, and commanded in a deep voice.

"That's it, let's do this today, this official is tired of traveling and driving, and he is a little tired!"

Seeing this, Yang Yinglin's face flashed with a hint of imperceptible joy, and he immediately said respectfully.

"Yes, Chincha-sama!"

Then, a look of hesitation appeared on Yang Yinglin's face at the right time, and he continued.

"Lord Chincha, Lord Governor has prepared a banquet for you, look ......"

When Hai Rui heard this, he shook his head and excused himself.

"This official rushed from the capital to Henan by boat, and he has been tired all the way, and he hasn't had a good rest, so let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"Yes, Lord Qincha, the lower official will relay your words to the governor word for word!"

Yang Yinglin saw that Hai Rui did not directly refuse, and the whole person immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately patted his chest and assured Hai Rui.

"Okay, the official is also a little tired, let's do it today, if you have anything, you can come to the post station to find me!"

After Hai Rui finished speaking, he left the granary straight under the escort of the guards.

Seeing this, Yang Yinglin hurriedly followed Hai Rui's pace in three steps and two steps, and said flatteringly.

"Lord Chincha, let me send you off......"
