When you arrive at the Yamen of Shannan East Road, there is no need to do any handover. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The original governor of Shannan Dongdao had already been transferred, and he left without waiting for Li Chao to come. Before Li Chao came, Li Chao did not have a series of envoys such as the Shannan Dongdao Xuanfu Envoy, the Transit Envoy, the Salt and Iron Envoy, the Observation Envoy, the Tuntian Envoy, and the Hanjing Construction Envoy.

Li Chao ignored the various reports sent by the officials in the yazhong, and he directly called the officials he brought.

"I said, you write!"

Li Chao leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then opened suddenly.

Then began to narrate, and an old official took a shorthand of the pen.

Li Chao is talking about the three new regulations issued on the dock today, each of which has a detailed explanation. In particular, in Article 3, Li Chao made it clear that the grain stamps, the grain quota and the direct trade of money and grain were prohibited.

A group of officials gathered around the side, watching the old officials write down Li Chao's words.

The more I watched, the more frightened I became.

Grain stamps? Can you have a household subsidy to do food? Label the number of people and the quota of old and young according to the household? If you have a grain book, you have to pay to buy food stamps from the government, and then the grain store can only collect food stamps for grain, regardless of official or private affairs, and the direct transaction of money and grain is directly prohibited?

One by one, all of them are very surprising.

I have never heard of it, and the government still does this.

Why does the government stipulate such a regulation for the grain of other grain merchants? You can't sell your own grain for money?

Each one is full of irrationality.

Just like Li Chaoban's waste of food, if you advocate thrift in people's own food, why should you punish others for wasting it? But Li Chao did just that.

Not only did they do this, but one was harsher than the other, and one was wider than the other.

If you have grain, you can't sell it as you want, because Li Chao also stipulated that in the future, the price of grain will be set by the government in a unified manner, and it is not allowed to set the price privately.

In the future, each grain store will be stationed by the government to station in the store, and there is no need for the grain store to take care of their food, lodging and wages, they will bring their own food stamps down and give them food to the food stamp store.....

This means that in the future, when the grain store is open for business, there will be people from the government watching it every day. The daily account books had to be handed over to the government for inspection, and when they sold their grain, they could only get a handful of food stamps, and then they could exchange them for money at the yamen.

What is this?

Li Xiangguo directly regarded other people's grain stores as his own, and when other people's grain was regarded as the government's grain?

Will the grain merchants be willing?

"Li Xiangguo, as soon as this announcement comes out, I'm afraid that the entire Shannan East Road will be in an uproar!"

"yes, that's amazing."

"Wouldn't it be too hasty?"

A group of officials who came with Li Chao couldn't help but persuade Li Chao.

The steps are too big, will this pull the egg?

Even the officials brought by Li Chao thought so, let alone what the grain merchants would think. But Li Chao is very persistent this time, and it won't work if he doesn't insist.

Though he slew thirteen men, he received five million stones.

But there are 16 states in Shannan Dongdao, and not only will Shannan Dongdao have to protect the 16 states in Shannan, but Shannan Dongdao will also have to prepare to receive hundreds of thousands of people from Chang'an. Not to mention, he has to be responsible for getting more than 100,000 or 200,000 young people from the Central Plains to provide relief for work.

If he was only responsible for the food of the people in the sixteen states of Shannan and Dongdong, Li Chao would not be in such a hurry.

However, Shannan Dongjian is adjacent to the Central Plains and Guanzhong, the two hardest-hit areas next year, and even most of the places in Shannan Dongdao will also suffer disasters next year.

When the situation is irreversible, it will be difficult to save it.

If the levees are not strengthened before the flood arrives, once the flood peak arrives, it will be impossible to rescue them.

"All of this is only temporary, and when we get through the current difficulties, it will naturally resume as usual. Let's work together to get through this together. Li Chao said.

"Xiangguo, is the food stamp for everyone?" Someone asked.

Li Chao nodded, everyone will do it.

In fact, the people of later generations are no strangers to food stamps, and in the turbulent years, there is a shortage of goods, and many goods are supplied by tickets. And China is not the first to use tickets, what the Soviet Union, the United States, etc. have used.

It turns out that when there is a shortage of goods, ticket shopping is actually very helpful, and the ticket is a planned distribution of goods, rather than a free economy, and this planned distribution is mainly to allow more people to fairly distribute goods, for the minimum guarantee.

Of course, when China used grain stamps in later generations, only those who had urban hukou could apply for grain stamps, and peasants were not qualified to apply for grain stamps, they farmed their own land, and the grain produced was purchased and sold by the state.

But at the moment, food stamps are not meant to be long-term.

Li Chao doesn't want to do it for a long time, and he can't do it for a long time, just for the expedient of the upcoming food shortage, once the famine comes, whether it is people in the city or people in the countryside, they will have no food to eat, so there is no need to distinguish between what is in the city and outside the city, everyone has food stamps, including those big and wealthy businessmen, and they also have a copy for them, anyway, they can't share some more quotas.

"And how do you calculate this amount?"

Seeing Li Chao's resolute attitude, someone turned to ask the question of quantitative standards.

There must be a standard for making grain money and planning to limit the supply of grain.

"Is it based on status?"

At all times, the concept of class is always deeply rooted in everyone's hearts.

Shinong, industry and commerce, and there are nobles, bureaucrats, and scholars in Shili, isn't this grain borrowing more because of this?

Class, grade, identity, occupation, these can be divided into a three, six, nine and so on.

Just like the food stamps issued in China in those years in later generations, the citizens of Beijing were divided into more than 100 grades according to different ages and occupations.

In Shanghai, the quantitative standard is divided into 7 and 27 grades according to the type of work: manual workers, intellectual workers, college and middle school students, and general residents. Later, the number of jobs increased from 1,307 to 7,299.

Li Chao plans not to be so complicated.

"It is only divided according to age and gender, the first born is yellow, the four-year-old is young, sixteen is middle, twenty is one Ding, and sixty is old, and it is divided into two classes and five levels for men and women."

As for quantification, this one is more difficult to determine.

Taking army soldiers as an example, the Qin army stipulated that half a bucket of millet for breakfast and one-third of millet for dinner, and for tasks such as standing guard, one-third of each bucket of millet in the morning and evening.

The Han army stipulated that soldiers engaged in heavy physical activities were given two stones, nine buckets, three liters of grain and three liters of salt a month.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was stipulated that a soldier would be given two liters of grain a day as rations.

In the Song Dynasty, the soldiers of the forbidden army had a monthly ration of 2.5 stones, and the box army had two stones, and in the later period, the forbidden army only had eight or nine buckets of monthly rations, and then the brown rice was filled with rice, and the small bucket was replaced by a big bucket.

Although the units of measurement of each dynasty were different, the military rations of the Tang army were mostly based on millet, and the bulk density of millet was less, about 600 to 650, and one cubic meter was about 650 kilograms.

One cubic meter is 1,000 liters, and one liter of millet is 600 grams.

And one liter in the Tang Dynasty was actually only 0.6 liters now, so one liter of corn in the Tang Dynasty was actually not much, about 3890 grams, less than 400 grams.

A soldier distributes two liters of grain a day, which is only about 800 grams.

Moreover, it is necessary to take into account that the grain of the ancients was relatively rough, and a soldier, that is, a young man, or a young man who was engaged in heavy physical activities such as being a soldier, could only get 800 grams of grain a day.

There are only about 300 grams of grain for one meal.

In the era when there was a lack of non-staple food oil, he was engaged in a relatively high-intensity occupation, and he was young and had a large amount of food, and 300 grams a day was really not much.

You must know that in the era of food stamps in later generations, a baby was generally rationed to six catties per month, and the average adult was about thirty catties on a regular basis.

Li Chao knew that in the past, people had a lot of activity, and they lacked non-staple food, oil and water, so the amount of food was generally much larger than now. When Li Chao was young, he could often eat two or three bowls of rice, which was still a relatively large bowl, but as an adult, the amount of rice became smaller and smaller, and it was enough to have one and a half bowls of rice at a meal, which was still a small bowl.

"Adult men have five buckets per month, middle-aged men have four buckets, the elderly have three buckets, children have two buckets, and babies have one bucket. For women, there is less than half a bucket for men. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Li Chao finally set a standard that was not too high, but not too low. Five buckets, less than twenty kilograms of grain.

Cheng Ding has five buckets a month, and it is less than one liter and seven times a day, which is less than the standard of two liters a day for soldiers. Originally, this standard was still a little high in a disaster year, but Li Chao couldn't set it too low as soon as he came, and he might have to reduce it depending on the situation in the future, but he couldn't directly order a too low amount right away.

"What about the price?"

Food must not only be rationed, but also priced.

In the future, all grain stores will have to implement a uniform selling price, and they will also have to use food stamps.

Now that the market price of grain is rising, everyone knows that after the drought, there is a great demand for food.

The market price of rice has now reached 15 yuan for rice, and the corn is 100 yuan for rice. And this price is actually still priceless, and if you want to buy grain, the price is even higher.

It's just that Li Chaohe has always used this price to buy grain before.

"Let's take the price of 150 yuan for a bucket of rice and 100 yuan for a bucket of millet."

This price is still extremely high.

But Li Chao can't drop anymore, and if it drops again, the grain merchants won't agree.

"The people have the money to buy enough food stamps for the supply, right?" Questions were raised.

Although Li Chao set a monthly food quota for everyone, the amount was not given in vain, and he had to exchange the money for food stamps first. But now that the price of food is so high, the people have so much money to exchange for food stamps?

Faced with this question, Li Chao couldn't answer it.

He can only say that step by step, it is not easy to do what he said today. If we can do this, at least the grain can be controlled, and the price of grain will also be controlled.

As for the price that Li Chao tried to control, the people still couldn't afford to buy the grain within the ration, so Li Chao couldn't solve it better.

This is another issue, and then it has to involve the part of government relief.

People who cannot afford to buy food themselves will have to be given porridge by the government or cashed out for work to solve the problem of food for them.

"Go ahead, copy these in multiple copies, and then publish them and publicize them!" (To be continued.) )
