Bai Qing was frightened. He got up and came out blankly and asked, "gentlemen..."
A knight rode over. The horse shook its head and snorted, and the white air rushed into Baiqing's face.
"Where is the experience? Where is the highest officer stationed?"
Bai Qing subconsciously said, "experience, we have no experience here. Only Wang Tongzhi and Yang Baihu are here."
"Who's in charge?"
Bai Qing said blankly, "it's Yang Baihu and Wang Tongzhi. People from the government will often check it."
The knight did not dismount and said, "find them!"
A cavalry came and captured Bai Qing on the horse with one hand.
Bai Qing screamed with fear. The cavalry shouted, "go to find Wang Tongzhi and Yang Baihu."
Bai Qing shouted, "they are in the barracks."
"Show the way!"
The party turned several corners from the middle of the granary, and there was a row of barracks in front.
There was no sentry post outside the barracks. Someone shouted, "rush in and hit out with a big stick!"
The cavalry rushed into the barracks, got off the horse and kicked open the door. Someone shouted and scolded immediately, but they were beaten and screamed for mercy.
Bai Qing was thrown down. He got up unsteadily, looked at the man who got off the horse, and asked, "Sir, dare you ask, are you from the capital? Hubu?"
There are many granaries in Daming, which are usually managed locally, but the Ministry of household and the metropolitan Inspection Institute will send people down to inspect from time to time. Once a deficit is found, it is a big case.
The air seal case in the Hongwu Period is the most typical example, which can be called a bloody pestle.
A group of sergeants were beaten out with big sticks, all of them were disheveled and looked panicked.
"This is Daming's army?"
Fang Xing held the whip and shouted, "stand in line."
"Who! Who's special... Ah!"
At this time, someone was yelling and scolding in the back, and then there was a scream.
The sergeants were guessing their identity when they saw the ferocity of the group.
The officials who came down from the capital were not so fierce. They only conducted a gloomy inspection.
People regard food as their priority. They are checking the sky. Once the sky is wrong, the sky will collapse, so they have to keep calm.
Then two people came from behind.
The two people were red in the face. The first hundred officials scolded. When they saw Fang waking up in front, they shrunk their necks and asked, "where are you?"
The back official's mouth was a little bruised. He looked at Fang, who was holding a whip and looked expressionless, woke up and accelerated his steps. After catching up with a hundred officials, he whispered, "be careful!"
Hundreds of officials wanted to scold. The corners of the official's mouth were painful and twitched. "I'm afraid it's from the capital."
The hundred household officials were surprised and looked at the cavalry.
The cavalry did not dismount, even drew a knife in their hand, and looked at the driven out sergeants coldly.
This is a veteran!
Hundreds of officials were in a panic. When they got to the front, they smiled and said, "dare you ask which adult is in front of me? Today, the officer was not feeling well, so he sued for leave."
His eyes turned and finally fell on Fang Xing, who was standing in front.
"My lord..."
Fang Xing is in plain clothes. He looks like a poor dress, which is insignificant at all.
But he took the whip in his hand and gently tapped the palm of his left hand. His eyes were cold, but his momentum was extraordinary.
"Drinking for treatment?"
Fang Xing asked.
The hundred officials and the civil servant bowed their heads.
Seeing that they were not sophisticating, Fang asked, "is the grain in the Treasury complete? Is there a deficit?"
The civilian's eyes were filled with joy, and then he looked up and said, "my Lord, dare you ask who you are..."
Hundreds of officials were frightened first. Hearing the speech, they subconsciously said, "adults, they are all ready. There is no deficit."
Fang woke up and smiled. There was a well on the side, which was used to put out the fire.
He went to the well and sat down, waving from behind with a whip.
A man in a green shirt came over. Fang Xing pointed to the front and said, "negotiate with them and check it immediately!"
"Yes."
The man in green shirt came forward and said, "my official, Li Ermo, the imperial censor of the ducha academy, came to Shandong to inspect the granaries everywhere. This is a document."
The hundred family officials were foolish and said, "Wang Tongzhi is the imperial censor from the capital."
The corners of the civilian's mouth twitched and hissed.
Seeing that they were terrified, Li Er Mao said, "I'm ordered to check the warehouse. Your place is among them. Open the warehouse!"
The so-called granary is actually in the house.
Rows of storehouses were in front, and the small officials who kept the keys came.
The weather was still a little cold, but the little official's face was red and looked very nervous.
In his hand are several strings of keys, which are very heavy.
So he stumbled.
Fang Xing stood outside the warehouse, looked at the general judge in charge of the granary and the 100 garrison households, and said, "for the last time, is there a deficit?"
The two men shook their heads and their eyes were firm.
Fang woke up, nodded and said, "then open the door!"
The petty official looked down for the key, very slowly.
Fang Xing stood behind him and said, "spot check five warehouses."
The petty official shook his hand and found the key.
The door is open.
There was a booklet hanging outside the door. Fang woke up and took a look, but it was the record of the amount of grain in and out of the warehouse.
There are five big grain cans in the warehouse, and hundreds of bags are piled on the side.
Fang woke up and nodded. A small official of the household department lifted a big bucket on the side and put it under the grain barrel.
The grain cylinder needs to climb the ladder to load the grain from above.
It's much easier to release grain. It comes out of a gate below.
The small official put the big bucket under the gate, and then pulled up the gate.
Rice rushed down the gate. It was like rain in the big bucket, and there was a dense beating sound.
The petty official was an old hand. He stared at the grain outlet of the gate, suddenly stretched out his hand to grasp it, and then pressed down the gate.
The grain no longer flowed. The little official looked carefully at the rice in his hand, looked up and woke up and said, "uncle, it's last year's grain."
Looking at the record, Fang woke up and nodded, "yes."
Uncle?
The granary judge who followed in trembled his lips and shook his body.
The petty official went over and put several grain cans next door, followed by those grain bags.
Out of the warehouse, Fang woke up to see that the judge's face was stained with sweat and said, "what are you panicking about?"
The judge didn't know which uncle he was. He trembled in his heart and said with a smile: "uncle, I've been timid since I was a child."
Fang woke up and looked at the hundred officials and said, "check!"
He brought not only cavalry, but also several old household officials, all of whom were experienced in warehousing.
"This one is open!"
The little official with the key was led around and soon opened five warehouses in different places.
Fang Xing stood at the door of the granary, smelling the rice inside, and said, "all the rice stored here is rice, while the main grain in Shandong is wheat. Do you know where these rice comes from?"
No one answered. Fang Xing said, "it's all planted by the slave's hard work."
"Those people moved there far away from their hometown. The food planted made the north of Daming no longer worry about famine. The credit lies in the country."
The sergeants and petty officials stood below and listened. Some were trembling and others were smiling.
"What is the granary?"
Fang woke up and saw someone coming in and out of the granary in front. He was in a hurry, and his grasp was even greater.
"The granary is Daming's life! If anyone dares to move Daming's life, the whole world will kill him!"
The hundred household officer below lowered his head and couldn't see his face.
When the sweat gathered on his chin and dripped down, Fang woke up and saw it.
"Uncle, it's fake!"
At this time, a man ran ahead and shouted with a happy face.
His face was full of joy, and many people were as gray as death
