Chapter 25 Inspection
Holding the wooden slips in his hand, Li Yao strode out of the house, planning to inspect the granary now.

Of course, this granary is only one of the many granaries in their clan. After all, there is only one thousand shi of grain in this granary, which is not enough to survive the long winter.

In fact, each granary contained at least one thousand shi or several thousand shi of grain, and these granaries were all scattered around Wubao.

If a granary accidentally catches fire somewhere, at most only one granary will be lost, and it will not affect all other granaries.

Of course, Li Yao couldn't do things like inspecting the granary alone, so he went to find his two younger brothers, who were dancing with guns and clubs at that time, because they were also grounded.

But when Li Yao found them, the two put down their guns and sticks, and happily followed.

They took a few more guards and servants, and then Li Yao led them off.

Walking on the street, all the passers-by are very busy at this time, either bringing food to shell, or cutting firewood to take home, or harvesting pasture for storage... They are too busy, after all, it is not easy to survive the winter safely.

Even so, as long as they saw Li Yao, they would still take the initiative to avoid him and salute respectfully.

There is a difference between a master and a servant. The master is the master, and the servant is the servant. Even though the Li family treats them well, they still cannot change this personal attachment.

In ancient society, the ruling class was actually the landlord class, the emperor was the biggest landlord, and even Li Yao could be regarded as one of them. If you want to start a business without starting from scratch, the family can provide population, food... and can also form a civil and military team.

This is his advantage, but there are parents above him, so Li Yao's power is limited.

Overall, the pros outweigh the cons!
After all, even the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Bao, who started the Yellow Turban Uprising, also came from a powerful family, it is too difficult for ordinary people to stand out.

He can't even eat enough to eat, and he is as skinny as a stick. Even if he participated in the uprising, he would be hacked to death by others.

At the same time, Li Yao and his party came to the southwest of Wubao, in front of a low building, which was shaped like a mushroom, without a single window around it, only a door on the front.

This is one of the granaries, and it is also Li Yao's destination.

The surrounding area of ​​the granary is extremely open, without any accumulation of sundries, and outsiders are not allowed to approach it at ordinary times, which is not only fire-proof but also anti-theft.

When Li Yao brought people over, a figure rushed out. It seemed that he wanted to drive them away, but when he saw Li Yao, he immediately saluted respectfully:

"Master!"

Hearing this, Li Yao looked over. This person looked like a man in his prime, but his face was scarred and he lost an arm.

Seeing this person's appearance, Li Yao's face also softened. No accident, this person was once a member of the clan, and he finally ended up in this way during the process of fighting the enemy.

Although the Li family does not support idlers, the Li family treats meritorious officials generously, which is why they were able to obtain such an errand with a disability.

Immediately, Li Yao took out the wooden slip, looked at this person and said gently:
"You don't need to be too polite, my mother asked me to bring someone over to check the grain and check the account books. You can open the door now!"

Hearing this, the man raised his head to reveal a simple and resolute face, then he first looked at the wooden slip in Li Yao's hand, and then spoke again:
"Abiding by the order, young master, you two sons, please follow me."

After finishing speaking, the strong man turned and walked towards the gate of the granary, took out the key from his arms, used the key to open the iron lock, and then pushed open the gate of the granary, a cloud of dust dispersed.

When the dust dissipated, you could see the interior of the granary. The first thing you saw was a section of steps going down, followed by mountains of gray sacks on both sides.

Then the strong man said again:

"Young Master, you two, you can go in."

Li Yao nodded when he heard the words, then walked in directly, and went down the steps until he reached the bottom of the granary.

Stepping on the dry wooden board, Li Yao began to look around. If he wants to store food for a long time, the most important thing is to prevent moisture and fire.

At the beginning of the construction of a granary, the first thing is to select the site, and then dig out the main structure, which is this kind of circular pit.

At the same time, firewood is brought in and a fire is put on, so that the soil will become very dry, and then planks are laid, the roof is covered, and grease is applied to prevent moisture from penetrating in, which achieves the moisture-proof effect.

As for fire prevention, the key is to take precautions in advance, empty the debris, and send someone to guard... These can achieve a certain fire prevention effect.

When Li Yan and Li Lin walked in with other guards, Li Yao looked at them and said:

"Ah Yan, take people to count the amount of old grain, A Lin, take people to count the amount of new grain, count repeatedly, don't miss any bag of grain."

Hearing this, both of them responded and led others into action.

Although they are all concubines, there must still be some enlightenment education, and it is no problem to count the number.

As for Li Yao, he began random inspections, walked to a sack at random, and then untied the rope to open it, revealing the golden-yellow millet inside.

Stretch your hand in, grab a handful of millet, feel its quality carefully in your hand, and tie the sack after confirming that there is no problem.

More than 20 bags were randomly checked, including the most conspicuous location, the most secret location, and the most random location, and it was finally determined that there was no problem with the food.

Li Yao was relieved in his heart, but he also had a trace of regret, so he didn't have a chance to stand up.

Now as long as there is no problem with the amount of food, there is no need for him to bully a disabled hero, which is easy to lose people's hearts.

A moment later, Li Yan and Li Lin also led someone back, and each gave Li Yao a piece of data.

Then Li Yao asked them to switch again, Li Yan counted the amount of new food, and Li Lin counted the amount of old food.

Not long after, they came back again and gave Li Yao a statistic. There was no problem in comparing the two stats.

Finally, it was determined again according to the account books. There was basically no problem with the quantity and quality of the food.

So his work is done.

So he took people out of the granary, looked at the strong man with a gentle smile:
"What's your name?"

The strong man was a little surprised, but still said respectfully:
"Hui Shaojun, servant's name is Zhang Te."

"Zhang Te!" Li Yao nodded, and then said again:
"The grain has been inspected, and there is nothing wrong with it in my opinion. I will take care of this granary carefully in the future..."

"Afterwards, I will send someone to bring over two sheep. This is the reward you deserve. The Li family will not treat the heroes badly."

Hearing this, Zhang Te showed a look of surprise and then saluted respectfully again, this time completely from the heart:
"Thank you, Young Master, even if a humble person dies, he will look after this granary in order to repay the Lord, Young Master's great kindness!"

"I remember!" Li Yao nodded with a smile, and then led people away:

"Let's go!"
