Out of the official office, Du Zhongxiao said to Fu Bi: "The most important thing in the front-line war is grain and grass. Zhao Zi wanted to lead the army into the Western Regions after the railway was repaired to Juyan, and Shengzhou must reserve enough grain and grass, and the railway would be transported there in time. Today, the marshal's office organized manpower to inspect the subordinate warehouses. Let's take a look, and if there is anything we are not satisfied with, we will say it in time and let people check it. ”

Fu Bi said: "This matter has always been in charge of Li Fugui, let's investigate, should we let Li Fugui lead the team?" ”

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "The investigation is the matter under his control, how can he let him lead the team?" He just arranged for the people in charge of the grain depot to take care of, and waited for the people who went to check on him. Deputy envoy, here on Hequ Road, there has been no formal production so far, and it lives on grain transported by rail. Although civilian food is separated from military food, the people who do things below will do everything for the sake of petty profits, and they must be careful when checking! ”

Fu Bi said yes, and together with Du Zhongxiao, he took his entourage and went to the grain depot on the nearby Hequ Road.

The grain depot on Hequ Road, the military grain is in the city, divided into several large warehouses, and is uniformly dispatched by Li Fugui. The troops stationed outside the city were uniformly transferred from the warehouses in the city to purchase a part of the cash. Due to the scarcity of the people, they mainly allocated and did not buy much. The private grain depot is near the railway station, which is under the control of the state government and is sold to the outside world. The households have been distributed to various places, and now the government does not issue real money, only money is found, and the officials of the yamen also have to buy grain. A few officials such as Du Zhongxiao are in charge of the official canteen.

The first thing to check is the military rations, which are immediately sealed once the inspections are completed, and then reopened after the civilian rations are checked. Prior to this, all armies had to prepare the necessary rations and were not allowed to open their warehouses before the inspection was completed. It's so complicated, that is, after the inventory, it is necessary to prepare food for Zhao Zi's department.

The army on the Hequ Road, grain, grass and logistical materials were supplied by the imperial court, and there were not many local stores. Once there is a shortfall, it will be very troublesome.

Tian Jing was in charge of checking the army's rations, and he dispatched a powerful man who had been waiting at the door of the grain depot for a long time. Seeing Du Zhongxiao and Fu Bi arriving together, he hurriedly stepped forward to sing a promise, and said, "Xia Guan and Yiying Gongren have seen two Jingluo!" ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded, looked at the neatly prepared public, and nodded: "Okay, then let's start!" This matter is urgent, and there must be no mistakes! Which one did something go wrong, and the board of the Shuai Mansion hit him first! ”

Everyone agreed together.

Du Zhongxiao said to Li Fugui on the other side: "Open the warehouse door!" ”

Li Fugui received the order and ordered the public in charge of the warehouse here to open the door of the warehouse and divide the left and right. All the account books were handed over to the public who Tian Jing had brought to inspect them, and they entered the warehouse with them.

A few cats that specialized in catching mice in the barn lay lazily in the sun, looking at these busy officials.

Du Zhongxiao glanced at the cats and said in a low voice: "It looks lazy, and I don't know if it's useful." ”

After speaking, together with Fu Bi, along with the public who checked the accounts, he entered the granary.

The mountains of grain in the warehouse, according to Du Zhongxiao's requirements, were classified and placed in stacks. According to the time of transportation, they are stacked separately, and they are shipped out of the warehouse separately according to the principle of first-in, first-out. The granary has two gates, one in and one out. The inside divides the area, and when I get to the place, the two gates are exchanged, and the original door goes in, and the door that comes in goes out.

Du Zhongxiao said to Fu Bi: "The price of the grain in the warehouse, the old grain and the new grain is not small, I am afraid that someone will replace the new grain with the old grain." However, it has been less than a year since the river meandering road was built, and it is all new grain, and there is no need to replace the officials in charge. Now I check whether there is a lack of it. ”

Fu Bi nodded: "The little officials in charge below are the most hateful, they only recognize money in their eyes, and they don't care about anything else." In the past, in the place, for these little things, I don't know how many things happened. There is a lot of military rations, and it is difficult for them not to start. However, the marshal is strictly controlled, and the public servants here are all active soldiers, so there should be a lot less. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "This kind of thing, just look at people, all use soldiers, it's just that something happens to investigate." Of course, it's best if nothing happens, once something happens, one of the entire tube warehouse can't run away! ”

The grain in the warehouse is wrapped in sacks, one stone is a bag, one hundred stones is a pile, and there is a small sign in front of it. The sign indicates where it came in, when it came in, and whether it was new food of the year. Most of the millet in the library is from Jingdong Road, and the sign is clearly written.

At this time, the military rations were generally two to three liters per person per day, and the river meandering road was set at two liters. Two liters is not less, because there are the rest of the fat and meat dishes, etc., and the food is better than the previous Song army. Shengzhou is in charge of an army of about 60,000 people, calculated as one person and six stones a month, and the grain of one month is stored in the warehouse, and the sum of several granaries is about 36,000 stone of grain. This is the largest granary, with about 5,000 stone deposited.

Walking in the warehouse, the aisle was very spacious and neatly placed, Fu Bi said: "Li Fugui is very careful in managing the logistics materials, and it is neat and tidy, and there is no confusion." In some warehouses, the placement is disorganized, and there is no way to check it at all. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "This is the largest grain depot on Hequ Road, if it is messy, there is no way to check the grain depot below." The further down it goes, the more messy it becomes, and when you get to the bottom layer, you have all kinds of postures, and there's no way around it. ”

The two of them said as they moved forward, seeing that it was well placed, Du Zhongxiao was a little relieved. Although some of the grain piles, because of the marks of rat bites, the sacks are broken, and the grain is spilled on the ground, it is not serious. Where food is stored, how can there be no rats. Even if there is a cat in charge of the food depot, it is just to prevent rats from overflowing, how can it be eliminated.

Tian Jing arranged for the public to check the grain, so he went to the side and waited for them to count it. This is the largest grain depot, and it usually doesn't happen, so I chose this place today just to get off to a good start. Later, check other grain depots before an accident may occur.

Walking all the way to the end, he didn't see any obvious problems, Du Zhongxiao said to Li Fugui, who was standing at the end of the warehouse: "Judge, you are here to accompany Judge Tian to check the accounts." Wait until the investigation is over, and set up a banquet tonight. As long as there is no problem with the large grain depot, the small depot below depends on your luck. ”

Li Fugui hurriedly said that he didn't dare. In charge of the military rations and various materials on the winding road, Li Fugui's power is not small, and his responsibility is equally heavy. He personally stared at these big libraries, and he was confident that nothing would happen. As for those small libraries that can't usually be seen, there's really no way.

There were accidents in several large grain depots, and Li Fugui couldn't get out of it, and Du Zhongxiao would not let him go. The small library below is another matter, where something happens to find the person in charge there, Li Fugui can't take responsibility.

Out of the grain depot, Du Zhongxiao said to Fu Bi: "Military food is the most important, and there are rules for storage and management. In a few days, the grain and grass for Zhao Zi's army in Beijing arrived, and he only waited for the day when the railway was repaired to Juyan. ”

Fu Bi said: "Having said that, I don't think this matter can be careless. Hequ Road has a month's worth of grain, although there has been no accident, but it is difficult to say that there is no problem. Now is the time when there is no success, and it is difficult to guarantee that there is no life. Last year, the people who worked in the fields were not divided, but this year is different. If there is a public servant who makes a profit from it, it is inevitable that the idea will be hit here. ”
