Mailing the Yamen, Xu Ping was a little impatient, and asked Wu Zunlu, who was in charge of the Mailing Department, "Xia Shangshu hasn't come yet?" If he doesn't come again, I don't think we should wait for him, let's discuss it first. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wu Zunlu said: "I have already sent someone to urge, wait a little longer, maybe you are already on the way." ”

Before the words fell, a public official walked in and saluted Wu Zunlu: "To be systematized, Xia Shangshu said that he was not feeling well today, so he won't come." If there is anything, I will discuss it with someone, and I will inform him when the time comes. ”

Wu Zunlu shook his head at Xu Ping helplessly: "Since Xia Shangshu is unwell, we have to discuss." ”

Xia Zhu didn't want to go to Shaanxi, he could delay for a little longer, and being bitten by lice was also a big illness. Today, discussing the preliminary deployment of grain and rice materials on Shaanxi Road, Xia Zhu is nominally the supreme governor of Shaanxi Road, how can he not be present? As a result, Xia Zhu dragged his feet and finally didn't come. Anyway, he is also messing around in Shaanxi, and others can do whatever they like.

Speaking of which, Xia Zhu is not a person without ability, but if his heart is not on this, there is no way. When he was a magistrate in the past, he did a very good job in managing both the army and the people. Seven years of privy deputy envoys, also decent, if until Shaanxi Road down-to-earth work, may not be able to make some achievements. But Xia Zhu wanted to be a ruler, and being sent to Shaanxi disappointed him and became passive and slacking off.

Xia Zhu didn't come, Fan Yong was not in the capital, and Xu Ping, who was present, was the biggest official. Holding back the anger in his heart, Xu Ping said to a few people: "Xia Shangshu doesn't come, then let's discuss it ourselves, and just inform him of the results." ”

Everyone sat down, and Xu Ping said to Zhang Cun, the transfer envoy of Shaanxi Road: "Zhang is in charge of Shaanxi Road Caosi, you naturally know the money and grain there, now let's talk about a few major items of money and goods there." ”

"First of all, in the past, Shaanxi Road transported 500,000 stone of grain and millet to Liangjing every year, but this transportation was stopped a few years ago. However, the grain millet that was harvested is still there, and now it is stored in several large states on Shaanxi Road, mainly in Hezhong Mansion, Huazhou, Yongxing Army and Fengxiang Mansion. Over the years, it is now about 2 million stones. When the northwest uses troops, the money and grain will be used first to survive this year, and the grain and rice from other roads will be transported from the next year. Yongxing Military Road is located in Guanzhong, thousands of miles of fertile soil, there is no shortage of grain and rice, there is no need to use these savings, how to distribute the other four roads, what do you think? ”

Zhang Cun looked at Wu Zunlu, and then at Han Zong, who was in charge of the Bridge and Road Division, and said to Xu Ping: "What is the squire going to do?" ”

"The roads, big and small, are all located along the border, and either the army is stationed or the people who have just moved in need of food. In order to avoid more and less, I don't think it's better to do this, how about letting the four roads along the side be equally divided? ”

If he had the final say, Xu Ping would definitely transfer most of them to Qinfeng Road, not because he was there, but because the other roads were convenient to transport from the Guannei. With Luoyang as the center, grain was transported to the northwest, and the first supply was those three roads. Whether it is roads or other infrastructure, the transportation network centered on Luoyang is incomparable to several other routes. But now the Shaanxi Road is divided into three parts, in order to prevent others from making irresponsible remarks, they can only divide it equally, so as not to have their own problems and cause insufficient grain and rice, and blame themselves. If you don't have power, you can only compromise with others.

Zhang Cun understood what Xu Ping meant, Qinzhou is lonely on the right side of Longshan Mountain, and it is most necessary to reserve grain and grass. But among the three border marshals, Xu Ping has the youngest qualifications and is the youngest, so he can't help but be wronged by this kind of grievance.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Cun said: "That's it, the transfer envoy will set aside 500,000 stones as a reserve in case of emergency, and the rest will be divided equally between the four roads." No matter which way there is an accident, there are these 500,000 stones to save the emergency, so as not to miss the big thing. ”

"Well, that's it. It is reasonable for the transshipment envoy to have emergency food in his hands! ”

From the time he was in Yongzhou, Xu Ping cooperated with Zhang Cunyou, and he was still his boss at that time. After so many years of friendship, the relationship between the two is naturally closer than others, Qin Zhou is really in trouble, he will definitely help himself.

In addition to the grain of nearly two million stones, there is also a lot of silk on Shaanxi Road. Although this thing can't be used as money, it can still be used for trade with the surrounding Fanhu, along the border of Shaanxi, and a lot of people around it are concentrated there. With troops on the side, these hard currencies are better than paper money, and according to the principle of equal distribution, they are equally divided.

These stored materials were specially stored there when Xu Ping was in the Third Division, in order to use the party in the future. It has accumulated over several years, and the amount is extremely considerable, which can basically support more than a year.

After talking about the money and things on Shaanxi Road, Xu Ping said: "The money and things on Shaanxi Road can support about a year or several years of savings, and that's it." Except for Guanzhong, Shaanxi is barren and poor, and it is really impossible to loot too much, otherwise it will provoke local people's revolt, which is not a trick. The front is used to avoid instability in the rear, and Zhang Beizhi should pay special attention to this matter. ”

Zhang Cun nodded to show that he understood, and said: "Therefore, the soldiers and civilians entering Shaanxi should try to transport the grain and rice from other places as much as possible, and should not be looted locally. Today, I invited Wu Zhizhi and Han Tiju to come over, which is exactly what it means. ”

Xu Ping said: "Let's talk about the Bridge Division first." The road to Shaanxi was renovated two years ago, and now it is almost complete. It's just that these roads haven't really been used yet, and it's hard to say whether so many vehicles and pedestrians can withstand it at once. The Bridge Division should send a special person to contact Shaanxi Road, where there is a problem on the road, where is the congestion, must be solved at any time. As the saying goes, the military situation is like fire, and there can be no delay at all, Han Tiju, you have to remember. ”

Han Zong promised. He is Xu Ping's old subordinate, with tacit understanding, and the way he does things is taught by Xu Ping, which is more reliable than any other official. In view of the transportation to Shaanxi Road in order to cope with the war, the Bridge and Road Division has prepared a plan and transferred competent people there, and there will be no problems here if there is no big accident.

Xu Ping trusted Han Zong, didn't say more, and said to Wu Zunlu: "As a last resort, the money and grain needed by Shaanxi Road no longer rely on merchants to enter the middle school, but to carry the burden by the mail department." The businessmen pursued profits and let them enter the middle school, but most of them were afraid that they would still loot money, grain and materials from the Shaanxi road and strip the people. The mailing department should send a commissioner, one with the Shaanxi Road transfer embassy, and the other with the Jingxi Road transfer mission to ensure the delivery of materials from Luoyang to Yongxing Army, without any delay. ”

Wu Zunlu promised: "There are already people here in Xiaguan." ”

"Good! Then there is the transportation network, with the post road between the two capitals as the benchmark, and the Mailing Division sets up its own foothold with the horse shop. You are transporting things, not living people, you don't need to require the house to be clean and tidy like the post house, the key is that the place is big enough. In these settlements, grain, rice, meat and vegetables for human consumption should be stocked according to the plan, and there should also be forage for horses to eat. The camp used to grow alfalfa widely and pressed it into large bundles and stored it. There is still much left over for the shepherds and the cattle and sheep, and you have kept them in various places for your use on the road. Again, let the camp and other fields plant alfalfa and other pastures, or let the households plant official harvests to press the bales, but they must not collect grass from the people, so as not to cause turmoil. ”
