Zhao Chengshan took a bite of noodles, gave Wang Pu a thumbs up and said, "It's still delicious mutton noodles in the store!" This meat, this soup, this noodles, where is there a second one in Shengzhou City to make it? And the price is not expensive, it is the most suitable for the people to eat! ”

Wang Pu said embarrassedly: "The festival level is a loss." The small shop is authentic in taste and uses real ingredients. ”

Zhao Chengshan nodded again and again, ate a big mouthful of noodles, picked up the bowl, drank the soup inside, put down the big bowl, and said with satisfaction: "Every time I go back to the countryside, I will eat a bowl of noodles here when I come back, I am very satisfied!" ”

After speaking, he took out the money, settled the account with Wang Pu, and sat there chatting together.

After talking about what he saw and heard on the road, Wang Pu said: "The child in the family is eight years old this year? Do you know that the government wants to run a school? ”

Zhao Chengshan said: "I just came back from the countryside, but I haven't heard of it. In addition to the staff, what kind of school does the government want to run? ”

Wang Pudao: "I heard that it is the same as in Suizhou, where schools are set up in the township to allow children to enroll. Only literacy and arithmetic are taught, and the semester lasts for three years, and the rest is not yet known. I felt that the school in the countryside must be bad, and I was hesitating to let my son go to the city. ”

Zhao Chengshan said: "I haven't heard of this matter. If so, it is to send the son to the city to go to school. In the countryside, it is difficult to find a gentleman, how to teach it well? ”

Wang Pu nodded again and again: "That's the truth." In the city, the gentleman is easy to find, and he must be taught. ”

While the two were chatting, a young official ran in and saluted Zhao Chengshan: "The festival level is really here!" The day before yesterday, the government suddenly said that it was going to check the granary, and today it has already begun. The section level is not there, and a few of us are in a hurry, and we all want to go to the countryside to find it! If you are back, it will be good, make some preparations early, and you may find us here in the next day or two! ”

When Zhao Chengshan heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Check the granary? How can it be so sudden? A day or two to settle down? ”

The young official said: "I don't know how long it has been decided, but it only reached our ears the day before yesterday." We don't know much about the accounts in the warehouse, so we can only wait for the section level to come back. The granary we manage is not big, so I don't think it's a big deal. ”

Zhao Chengshan said: "Although the granary is not big, it is in charge of the rice of the officials of Dongsheng County, and there are many other things. This is not a trivial matter, you have to go back early to prepare. - Outside the staff, if there is something in the yamen, I will go back first, and then we will chat when I have time. ”

Wang Pu agreed, sent Zhao Chengshan out of the store, and couldn't help but shake his head when he watched him walk briskly with the young officials. It is not easy for these yamen officials, and there are many things to do every day. Wang Pu muttered in his heart and went back to the store.

Zhao Chengshan walked on the road, his face was very ugly. Because he is in charge of Lu rice in Dongsheng County, three months' worth of grain is stored in the granary, and there is a lot of grain in stock. A few days ago, Jin San, a senior official in the state, borrowed dozens of stones of grain from Zhao Chengshan because a caravan came from the Western Regions, and he has not returned it yet. Dozens of stone grains are not a lot of money, but for Zhao Chengshan, it is not a small amount. If you can't get the food back from Jin San urgently, something big may happen.

This kind of borrowing grain from the people is a reliable person, and Zhao Chengshan is used to it. As long as you don't check carefully, there will be no problems at all. This time, I suddenly had to check the grain, and I don't know why it was and how big the scale would be, whether I checked it carefully or not.

The officials in Shengzhou City have changed all their money into cash and go to the market to buy food. Dongsheng County is different, there are fewer grain shops there, and the public officials can't accept the cash distribution for a while, and there will still be Lu rice this year. Originally, I thought that I would take this opportunity to borrow rice from abroad to make some money in my hands, but I didn't expect that the army would suddenly check the grain, which really annoyed Zhao Chengshan.

Back in the granary, only one Hu Cheng was there, and the rest were not here.

Zhao Chengshan returned to his residence, cleaned up slightly, and came out to ask Hu Chengze: "What is going on with the granary?" ”

Hu Cheng said: "Which one is clear? It's just that the Shuai Mansion suddenly said that it would be investigated, so we can only do it. In the past two days, we will check the military rations, and it will be a day or two before we can find out here. By the way, is there any lending this month? ”

Zhao Chengshan said: "What do you do with these?" You just have to do things with peace of mind! ”

After speaking, seeing that he couldn't ask anything, he said to Liang Che, who was standing aside, "I'll go to Qiu Jiejie and inquire what's going on." You clean up the granary first, don't make such a mess, others will come and see it and think it's not good. ”

Liang Che and Hu Cheng said yes together and watched Zhao Chengshan go out. Hu Cheng said: "I just can't remember, did you borrow food from outside this month?" Just now you went to look for the section level, and you didn't say it on the way? ”

Liang Che shook his head: "When I came back on the way, I walked in a hurry and didn't say anything." I guess I borrowed it, otherwise why would I be in such a hurry. ”

Hu Cheng nodded, pursed his lips, and went into the granary with Liang Che to clean up.

Zhao Chengshan hurriedly walked to the south of the city, found Qiu Jiejie, and said to him: "The weather is fine today, please drink a glass of wine at the festival level." ”

After speaking, regardless of it, he pulled Qiu Jiejie out of the door and sat down in a nearby tavern.

Seeing this, Qiu Jiejie knew that Zhao Chengshan must have something to do with him, so he didn't speak, but just sat down with peace of mind.

After ordering tea, Zhao Chengshan said to Qiu Jie: "I have something at home in the past two days, and I will go back to the countryside for a few days." The festival level has been in the city, I heard that the granary in the city will be inspected in the past two days, I don't know what the rules are? Can you teach me at the section level? ”

Qiu Jie said: "It turned out to be this matter. It's not a big deal, it's spring now, it's convenient to transport goods by rail, in order to prevent the army from running out of grain after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the marshal's mansion ordered a thorough investigation of the granary in the city. Are you not in charge of the granary of Xianglu rice in Dongsheng County? Just pack up and wait to check. I heard that this time the main inspection is military rations, and the civilian rations are incidental. ”

Zhao Chengshan said: "Festival level, that's money and food!" And what's wrong with it? As long as there is less, it is a big deal! ”

Qiu Jie said: "That's nature! If the government has less food, it won't be enough! However, under the rule of the section, I don't think this kind of thing will happen. ”

Zhao Chengshan smiled reluctantly: "Naturally, there will be no shortage of food, but it is sloppy on the books, and it is always inevitable." Once we check the grain, we will be tired and break our waists once. To do things for the government, this kind of trouble is always indispensable. ”

While talking, the wine and food came up, and Zhao Chengshan said: "Festival level, let's drink, and don't talk about those troublesome things." ”

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Chengshan couldn't bear it, and said: "Festival level, what is the difference between this grain inspection and the previous method?" ”

Qiu Jie-level sandwiched a piece of meat before he said slowly: "This is the right person." Today, with Judge Tian, I checked the granary of military rations. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Chengshan's eyes lit up: "How to check?" ”

Qiu Jiejie smiled, drank a glass of wine, and said slowly: "The people guarding the grain depot sort out the account books, wait outside, check the account books with the people who check the grain, and then enter the grain depot to check the grain." When the accounts were found to be consistent, the grain depot was sealed by the person who checked the grain, and it was not unsealed until all the accounts were checked. ”

Zhao Chengshan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "It's so troublesome!" Doesn't this mean that once you start checking the grain depot, the contents cannot be moved? If the physical objects in the grain depot do not match, then there is no way! ”

Qiu Jiejie listened and nodded: "Yes, that's right." Section level, is the grain depot you manage okay? ”
