Profound Pure Guard

State governance and steward have many things in common. For example, if a major event is going to be held at home, the family’s food and clothing costs will definitely become relatively tight. When things are done, they will resume. If there is any profit, the whole family will share it with the whole family.

In addition to the stability of the political situation, the Jingjiu Dynasty’s growing strength in the past 40 years is also inseparable from the forty years of collecting blood from the Barbarian Race region.

Don’t think that the slave trade is just a waste of the slave caravan and the common people will not benefit, but in fact it is not the case. The exorbitant profits of the slave business were also levied extremely high taxes by the Jingji Dynasty, even two to three times the general commercial tax. These taxes and fees are not directly distributed to officials as welfare, but used to deduct agricultural taxes in some areas and to build some public facilities, such as canals or wells, dams, and so on.

Because the base number is the largest, the dividends spread to the people will not be so obvious. On the contrary, those high-ranking red walls can enjoy them more abundantly.

Now that the war in the south has begun, Zuo Yuliang led the Chinese army headquarters to move forward in Wuhu, and moved the battle forward. The first string of flicks was “logistics.”

After all, logistics is money and food. These all are under the control of the Ministry of Households and exist in the treasury and official warehouses everywhere.

Previously, there was serious fraud and favoritism in the official warehouse. The rectification campaign was initiated by the Profound Pure Guard. The civil official group was forced to grab lots of the officials below. Now It has not been too long, so the remaining prestige of the rectification will not make the official warehouse unsightly, so the official warehouse responded quickly and not many people dropped the chain.

The gathered food, floating spirit stones, and military pay are currently available. Ordnance and consumables are relatively difficult, but usually there are still a lot of inventory, and some of the inventory is consumed and the output of overtime is barely able to keep up. At present, the Ministry of Households has urgently coordinated hundreds of blacksmith shops, preparing to expand the production of ordnance to cope with the huge consumption in the future.

But compared to materials such as weapons and floating spirit stones, food is the most difficult to deal with. Because grain is not like ore that you dig, but it takes a fixed time to slowly grow out of the ground. And as long as it is a person, it is needed, not just to supply the army. Therefore, grain is also the most stocked, but it is also the largest and fastest consumed.

Yang Yansi’s forecast is actually very accurate. He has been thoroughly familiar with the inventory system established by the Ministry of Households for so many years. Although he is not clear about the specific figures, judging by the current situation in the south is probably not a problem.

Since late August, the southern frontier army has gathered more than half a million troops. People eat horses, chews, and long supply lines consume the stockpiles of beach rocks and Haixia, which is conservatively estimated. The grain stocks in the two places will be exhausted until the end of November at most.

Then it is necessary to consume the grain stored in the official warehouses of various places. In fact, the Ministry of Households is already making this preparation. The official warehouses in various places are transporting endless grains to Tanshi and Haixia in advance. At the same time, the official warehouse system of the entire household department is undergoing frequent changes, in order to be able to most efficiently meet the front-line needs in the coming days. .

At the end of October, a batch of new grains will be produced nationwide and enter the storage stage. This is a very important node, because starting from this batch of grains, the Jingjiu Dynasty will officially enter into a full-scale contraction. The state, especially the grain, will no longer send the small amount of the collected grain stock and the rest to the public and private grain shops according to the previous share, but will use wartime rules and ration to each city. Put grain.

In the beginning, the people will not have any feelings, because even the rationing will not be tightened to the limit all at once, but will be tightened slowly by one or two minutes, and the time will continue. It will take a few months to truly become the point where each household counts the number of purchases per person. Of course, if the battle ahead is smooth, it is possible that the strategy of food control will not reach this step.

It is the private food merchants everywhere that are hit hardest. Once the food squeeze began, they would cut off their business from the root, and even now they can’t hold the grain in their hands. The Ministry of Households will forcibly purchase the grain in their hands at the average market price, so that they will be benevolent and righteous if they don’t lose money. Still want to make money? Go in a dream.

But the largest grain merchant is the “tea” among the five imperial merchants.

The main revenue of “tea” is tea and grain. Half of the tea in the Jingjiu Dynasty was in their hands, and 30% of the private grain merchants belonged to them. Today’s food policy tightening “tea” is undoubtedly the biggest impact. Indirectly, it “harmed” the small group of people behind “Tea”. It shouldn’t be sitting and waiting for death, there must be struggle or hindrance.

And these problems are directly on the body of Shangshu Bai Changqing of the Household Department.

Since the fighting in the south reignited, the counterattack prepared by the civilian officials was directly killed by Profound Pure Guard and lost the right to speak. The entire civilian group was inevitably carried on the “downhill road” by the general trend. .

The arrogance of the army is now showing signs of turning over and stepping on the head of the civil official. The feelings may not be deep in other places, but the Ministry of Household has always been in direct contact with the Ministry of War. It is particularly clear.

In the past, the Ministry of Defense reported the quarterly bills. Everyone was cautiously afraid of being put on shoes, but now a small officer is sent to send the bills, and he has a strong attitude, saying that as much as you want, as for The difficulty of financing, what is the matter of the Ministry of War? Is your household eating dry rice, can’t it be solved?

And I really don’t dare to procrastinate too much. The front line is tight. If you lose the key because of the material problem, then the responsibility must be the first to hit the Ministry of Housing, and Bai Changqing is also sure to be the first. Head off.

In wartime, everything must make way for the frontline soldiers!

This has piled up countless troubles and troubles for Bai Changqing, the household secretary. The pressure has never been greater since he took office.

All other chores are okay. At worst, I grind it a few times and urge it a few times. It’s great to let the subordinates frighten them and push things forward. However, the current food tightening strategy is really difficult to handle!

The wind has been around for a long time, but it has not officially started yet. Moreover, similar strategies have been introduced during the previous battles with Barbarian Race. The difference is that the degree of tightening strategy is different each time, which is affected by the battle situation. If you play well in front, you won’t close the inside too tightly. If you don’t play well, you will only keep a breath.

But now that the tightening has not yet officially begun, various “greets” and “goodwill” hit Bai Changqing. Even the left phase Ye Lansheng gave him some cryptic hints, but these were all pretended to be confused by Bai Changqing.

But how long can I mix? Always make a decision, right? How to choose when things come?
