A ray of light has just been released.

The world liquor store ignited a raging fire, billowing smoke into the sky, at this time the gate of the East Market had just opened, and the fire of the world liquor store alarmed the neighbors.

Everyone rushed to put out the fire, but the scene in front of the liquor store stunned everyone, only to see more than a thousand soldiers surrounding the liquor store, and nearly sixty corpses were carried out, and they were not burned to death, their bodies were full of arrows, and they were covered in blood.

One of them was none other than Samurai Zhan, the proprietor of the world's liquor store, who was also killed by man, and a war knife pierced his chest.

At this time, the soldiers were divided into two, one of them hurried to all directions, rushed to the shops and residences of the dead little leaders, and some were busy fighting fires, and one by one the corpses were randomly thrown in the open space outside the liquor store, and a large group of people gathered around to discuss the true identity of the deceased, why was he killed by the soldiers?

Shen Guang and several soldiers stood on the second floor of the Tianxia Liquor Store, staring at dozens of corpses such as Wu Shizhan without blinking through a half-open window, and watching every move of the people around them.

At this time, a chubby man quietly approached the warrior Zhan, he pretended to check the wound, and then took advantage of the unpreparedness to take off a sign from the warrior Zhan's waist.

All this fell into Shen Guang's eyes, and he turned his head and asked his subordinates, "Who is that person?" ”

A soldier thought for a moment and replied, "Li Shanchang, the proprietor of the East City Bashu Splendor, his name is not on the list. ”

Shen Guang nodded: "It seems that Li Yuan not only has this one of Wu Shi Zhan in Yecheng, but also another, or several. ”

Shen Guang watched for a while, and there was no abnormality, so he walked downstairs quickly and came to the gate, at this time a soldier stepped forward to report: "General Qiqi, the fire on the fourth floor cannot be extinguished, everything has been burned." ”

"You fools!"

Shen Guang kicked the soldier away, and while scolding the soldier for being incompetent, the corner of his eye quickly swept to Li Shanchang, and found that he was still not far from him, staring thoughtfully at the fourth floor that was engulfed in flames.

The corners of Shen Guang's mouth showed an imperceptible smug smile.

At the same time, the whole army tacitly cooperated to search for intelligence personnel from various forces in Yecheng and surrounding counties, and officially ended at dawn, arresting a total of more than 3,000 people involved.

Morning!

Seven complete reports were placed in front of Yang Tong, Yang Gongren and others.

Yang Tong asked these spies to be sent to Siping Mountain to mine, so he no longer paid attention, and the next thing was Shen Guang's responsibility, and he asked, "Is the food price turmoil over now?" ”

Yang Shidao smiled and said: "Only the grain shop where Du Ruhui is located, and the other twenty are over, although the others have been persuaded by officials, they are still reluctant to return them, and the ministers simply withdraw all the officials!" Let the fangs turn a blind eye, I heard that those unscrupulous merchants have been robbed, and the shops have been smashed to pieces, but there are no people arson, and now there are patrol troops to control the situation, and the turmoil should be over. ”

Wei Zheng snorted coldly: "Regardless of the overall situation, forgetting righteousness for the sake of profit, you deserve this end." If you don't teach them a hard lesson, you won't remember the mistakes you made. ”

Ling Jing continued: "The minister has revoked the management rights of these unscrupulous businessmen and included them in the list of dishonesty, and they are not allowed to participate in the scientific examination within three generations. ”

Yang Tong nodded and said: "For these people, not only should they be severely punished, but they should also be greatly publicized so that others can take warning." ”

"Whoa!" Ling Jing muttered: "Although the food price turmoil has subsided this time, the panic and impact caused by it can't be made up. ”

Yang Tong nodded and said, "That's right!" Does Ling Shangshu have a good way to prevent such an incident from happening again? ”

"The minister has a plan!" Ling Jing arched his hand and said: "Food is a strategic material related to people's livelihood and national stability, the Ministry of Commerce can open a store in Yecheng to sell grain, the price is normal market price, as long as the supply is sufficient, so that there will be no incident that causes panic among the people, such as raising grain prices and salt prices." ”

Yang Gongren agreed: "Ling Shangshu got to the point, in fact, not only grain, but also edible oil, salt, sugar, plowshares, hoes, cloth, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which are related to stability and people's livelihood, the official should directly participate in order to control the price, and not only in Yecheng, but also in each county should open an official store." If everything depends on the independent business of the people, it is easy to be manipulated by lawbreakers, and the court is too passive. ”

Yang Tong nodded again and again when he heard this, this initiative is actually the Great Sui version of the 'Supply and Marketing Cooperative'. Its function is to organize, coordinate and manage the prices of strategic materials; Maintain market stability so as to avoid a series of social problems caused by rising prices.

"It's a very good idea, and I feel the need to execute it! In the future, the Ministry of Commerce will be solely responsible for the operation and supervision of these stores! Ling Shangshu first wrote a clear plan, and then everyone discussed it together! As for the content, it is nothing more than staffing, salary, management, supervision, accounts, supply and so on. You can first open a big store in each of the five cities of Yecheng to find problems, solve problems, and learn from experience! When the time is ripe, the next step is to lay it in each county office, and finally set up a store in each county under the rule of the Great Sui. ”

Fang Xuanling also said: "The key is management and supervision, these systems must be formulated in advance, so that no one can profit from them." After the supervision system is perfected, it can be combined with the regular closing and righteous positions, so as to reduce the expenses of personnel. ”

In ancient times, in order to regulate grain prices, store grain and prepare for famine, so as to supply the government and the people, granaries were set up. Changping originated from the peace practice of Li Kui in the Wei State during the Warring States Period, that is, the government purchased grain storage in the harvest year to prevent the grain from hurting the peasants, and sold the stored grain in the bad year to stabilize the grain price and appease the people. Fan Li and "Guanzi" have similar thoughts. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sang Hongyang developed the above ideas and established the Equalization Law, relying on a large amount of money and silk materials in the hands of the government, and sold grain at a low price in Beijing to stabilize prices. During the reign of Emperor Xuan Yuankang, there were bumper harvests year after year, and the price of grain was so low that it was only five dollars per stone. After that, Geng Shouchang, a member of the Dasi Nongzhong, focused on the application of the equalization method to grain storage, set up granaries in some areas, and purchased grain at too low prices into the government to benefit the people. This kind of granary has the name of always closing positions.

In the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Changping was imprisoned in Kyoto, in the same year, Sun Ping, the chief of Shangshu, saw that there were many floods and droughts in the counties of the world, and the people did not give, so he ordered the people to produce a stone or less according to the rich and poor households, and stored them in Luli, in order to prepare for the murderous year, named Yicang, and Emperor Wen commended and adopted his suggestions.

During the harvest season, grain is collected from households to prepare for relief in a famine year. Because it is located in the shrine and managed by the locals, it is also known as the shrine. Later, the method of accumulation was determined, and the third-class tax was allowed to be lower, with only 1 stone for the upper household, no more than 7 buckets for the middle household, and only 4 buckets for the lower household. Since then, the state and county of the world have started to set up a righteous warehouse, and every time there is a famine, they will open a warehouse to give.

Unlike the state's Changping Warehouse, whose main function was to stabilize grain prices, Yicang was a civil act to ensure that the poor in a region received appropriate relief, and that all the people would not be left without rice to eat in a year of calamity, and that the local government was generally in charge.

"Yicang can't do it!"

Yang Tong shook his head and said: "Yicang is the people's own food, or the people themselves to manage it, in the future, each village will set up a Yicang, and the village head and two deputy village heads are responsible for statistical management, if the village head and deputy village head are greedy for the people's food, the people can go to the county-level historian to complain." Moreover, the system of paying grain by household is also unreasonable, and in the future, grain will be paid into the warehouse according to the capitation, after all, the population of each family is different, and if it is evenly divided, it will be unfair to families with few people. If it is managed by officials, it is inevitable that there will be unscrupulous officials who will take it and resell it, and once it can't be made up, and it happens to be a disaster year, and the people want food and no food, then they will lose trust in the government, and even rise up to make trouble! ”

Yicang's 'provident fund' system was implemented in the fifth year of the emperor's reign, the effect is very good, and it has also been supported by the people, after all, no one knows whether there will be drought and flood disasters, with this guarantee, everyone is at ease. However, in the later period of the Great Cause, it was gradually destroyed, and all the eastern Yicang was misappropriated as military food for the expedition to Goguryeo, and in the year of the great drought in Qingzhou, the government itself could not afford to pay back the grain, so there was a vigorous turmoil. And there are many places where the righteous warehouses have been robbed by bandits and resold by officials!

Therefore, Yang Tong felt that it was better for the Yicang to be managed by the people themselves, and the government only had the right to supervise the village chief and deputy village head, as well as the right to supervise the distribution, but had no actual right to use and manage it.

Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness is extremely worried, the people have suffered a big loss, and they have deep doubts about Yicang, and now if they let them manage it themselves, they should naturally gather and be able to cope with it for a period of time when the disaster year comes." ”

Yang Tong saw that everyone had no disagreement, so he said: "The officials issued an order to let the county organize the village chiefs to build Yicang, and convey the system of people's grain management in place. This year's autumn harvest will be harvested and put into storage. One person in a year of poor harvest, and two buckets for one person in a good year. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Tong got up and stretched his waist and said, "It's all been all night, let's go back and rest first." After two months, the scientific examination documents will be issued by the Faculty; The affairs of Yicang were entrusted to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the government-run shops were handed over to the Ministry of Commerce to operate, and these are all policies that benefit the country and the people, and must be implemented in the shortest possible time. ”

"Whoa!" Everyone got up and moved their stiff bodies slightly, and then they dispersed. But everyone is a workaholic, after leaving the Chaoyang Palace, they all went into the official residence, wiped their faces casually, and after lunch, immediately summoned their subordinate officials, urgently drew up plans, assigned tasks, and asked the detectives to issue various provisions to various places.
