Chapter 513 Add a post granary! Prepare for the upcoming war!
Seeing the confusion on the faces of the ministers, Ying Chang was not surprised, and immediately explained in a slow tone: "I know what you are thinking, the post station, I have a granary in the Qin Dynasty, and the granary in each county, county city and county treasury are granaries!"
"It's true, but it's not convenient. What is the purpose of the post station? Transmit information from various places and report it to the court. Now the post station is set up every two hundred miles. It's too far. Even if the road is flat, it takes two days for the sending officers and soldiers to arrive at the post station. In these two days, the sending officers and soldiers will sit on the spot, which is too late!"
"I am also considered a military general. I know that fighter planes don't wait for people. If you delay a day, you may be defeated by the front line. Therefore, I want to shorten the post station to fifty miles, and set up an post station every fifty miles to allow the officers and soldiers to rest without the news!"
"In this way, the ten-day journey takes only seven days to deliver, which is shortened by three days. This is definitely a benefit for the court. It can know the situation in various places faster, and wait for the road to be repaired and improved, and it will be shortened by one or two days!"
"My dear friends, think about it, if our army and the enemy confront each other, and both sides ask for help from the court at the same time, if our Qin court can learn the news five days in advance, wouldn't it be the first move? The post station has said, let's talk about the granary!"
"What is the function of a granary? When encountering disasters, you can spend grain from the granary to help the victims, or when encountering wars, the granary of the army is now the county treasury of the county and county towns. In the huge Great Qin Empire, there are only seven granaries!"
"The county custody is under the jurisdiction of the local government. The imperial court can only see the number of county custody in various places from the official documents submitted by the local governments. I and my dear friends don't know how much it is. Moreover, the county custody in various places has a grain and grass of hundreds of thousands of stones, the smallest ones are tens of thousands of stones, and even the serious situation is even empty!"
"You all imagine that once there are many disasters in various parts of the Qin Dynasty, will the seven food and grass outside the Qin Dynasty be enough? What if there is no food and grass in the local county warehousing? Then the people are suffering and hungry, and the soldiers will not have the strength to fight and kill the enemy!"
"But if the granary is added and directly managed by the Ministry of Revenue, can we avoid the problem of false amount of grain and grass allocation and untimely allocation? Setting up a granary not only avoids what we just said, but also allows our army to not carry a large amount of grain and grass when going to war, which is conducive to the transfer of our army!"
Ying Chang talked jokingly about why the granaries were added and the post station was added, and all the ministers listened carefully.
The Minister of Revenue Jaro stepped out of the civil servants' line, bent down with a respectful expression and wrote a compilation: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, and what he said is extremely true. How many granaries should Your Majesty set up?"
Ying Chang was silent for a while and then replied: "Each county has added three, and the spacing of each granary is 200 miles. Each granary is prepared to store 500,000 stones of grain. The granary storage in each place is not included in the national treasury, so it is calculated separately!"
Jaro fell into a brief meditation. After pondering for a moment, he bent down and replied: "I obey the order!"
After responding, Jaro retreated to his position, and then Ying Chang called out lightly: "Where is the Minister of War!"
When Yang Ze heard the call, he walked out of the queue again, raised his hand respectfully and replied: "I'm here!"
"After the scattered court, immediately mobilize siege equipment to the Wujin camp, and at the same time mobilize feather arrows to the Jinbei camp. It is necessary to ensure that the two camps have rich health!" Ying Chang said in a solemn expression and a serious tone.
This is preparing to destroy Jin!
When all the ministers heard this, they were shocked and immediately cheered up.
Is it finally coming?
"I obey the order!" Yang Ze bent down with a solemn expression and responded.
Ying Chang slowly stood up from the black dragon throne, looked around the ministers with a expressionless face, and shouted softly: "Retreat!"
After the words came, all the ministers knelt down on the ground, bowed to the ground, shouting: "I respectfully send you to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
Ying Chang walked off the platform without saying a word and left the solemn and sacred Qilin Hall from the back hall. When Ying Chang's figure disappeared from the eyes of the officials, the officials slowly stood up from the ground, then walked with their colleagues, left the Qilin Hall together, and walked out of the magnificent palace!
When all the officials walked out of the palace and returned to their respective yamen, all departments began to work hard. The Ministry of Personnel transferred officials to the Left Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of War mobilized siege equipment, the Ministry of Works organized the national water conservancy road project, and the Ministry of Revenue was also mobilizing money. Silver flowed out like water, without money. Jaro was heartbroken and did not smile all day long.
Time passes slowly, days pass by day, and a month flies. July 1st of the fifteenth year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the imperial study room!
"My minister Zhang Feizi greets His Majesty!"
June and July are the hottest times, and there are seven or eight ice stoves in the Yu Study room, which makes the temperature in the Yu Study room very different from the temperature outside. Ying Chang, sitting on the dark dragon chaise, just casually wore a loose black robe, with hair scattered on his shoulders, and dressed in a casual and carefree manner.
At the first three steps away from the imperial case, Zhang Feizi was performing a kneeling ceremony. Compared to Ying Chang's loose and casual dress, Zhang Feizi wrapped himself tightly, with a red inner robe on the inside and a white crane men's court uniform on the outside, and a yellow gem-inlaid official hat on the outside.
Even though there was an ice stove in the imperial study to dispel the heat, a trace of sweat still emerged from Zhang Feizi's forehead.
"Get up!" Ying Chang raised his hand with a gentle smile on his face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Feizi said thanking respectfully, slowly got up from the ground, subconsciously raised his hand and wiped the sweat stains on his forehead with his sleeve.
"Your Majesty, the iced watermelon is here!"
At this time, two palace maids walked into the imperial study with careful steps. Both palace maids were holding fruit trays in their hands. The fruit trays were cut watermelons. The watermelon was dark red and the petals of watermelon were arranged in a round shape. In addition to watermelons, the fruit tray also had many ice cubes. In this hot summer, this undoubtedly made people have a strong appetite.
The two palace maids placed the fruit plate full of iced watermelons on the imperial table, and immediately gave a squat and bowed. As soon as the two palace maids left, Ying Chang picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to Zhang Feizi. Zhang Feizi was not polite and quickly walked over to take a piece of watermelon.
The slightly cooler purchase made Zhang Feizi feel relieved and his body felt much more comfortable.
"Eat watermelon first, then talk about it!" After Ying Chang finished speaking, he picked up another piece of watermelon and started eating it himself. I have to say that eating watermelon in summer is really comfortable, and it is even more refreshing than eating delicacies. As soon as he put it in his mouth, he almost flew up happily.
"Thank you for your reward!" Zhang Feizi chuckled and started to eat.
PS: "Please order all!"
