Chapter 1294 Food stamps for welfare(2/2)
But regarding this matter, I personally have a little suggestion, which I implore you to consider and adopt."
"you say."
"Your Majesty, the amount of ten shi of brown rice is not small. Dozens of Tongxin people, one hundred Yue people under the name, one hundred Sanada people, nearly 250 people enjoy this benefit, and the cost of brown rice is 2,500 dan.
It’s not that the Kanto Palace can’t get the grains out, it’s just that transportation is prone to trouble.
Problems have arisen on the Sanada people's side. Azuma-Koriyama Road is difficult to travel, and food is severely wasted on the road. Lord Sanada Nobushige is a person who cares for his subordinates, so he has already complained about this.
If we add the number of people from Tongxin Zhong and Xia Yue Zhong, the loss will be even greater. It's not that I don't want to give more food, but the places where it is delivered are different each time, and the loss is different, making it difficult to count.
The welfare treatment of the people in the imperial court is the good governance of the emperor who shows kindness to his subordinates. I don’t want to cause the warrior Ji who enjoys the welfare to have a grudge because of these chores, which will destroy the original intention of the emperor to be benevolent."
Yiyin nodded and said.
"What you said makes sense.
I also had a vague sense of this problem when I was observing the recent wave of Loyalty Fund annuity payments in Duowenshan City.
Welfare is sent in the form of food, and it is inevitable that there will be losses during transportation. This welfare is a great thing used to win people's hearts. It is indeed inappropriate to blame the losses on Warrior Ji.
However, if it is recorded in the public accounts, the transportation losses will be inconsistent, and the accounts will be chaotic in the future, and new problems will inevitably arise.
What solution have you come up with? Let me hear it."
Seeing Yiyin's expression become serious, Daxiong Chaoxiu secretly rejoiced, feeling that she had been valued by the king, so she answered seriously.
"My idea is not to distribute food, but to issue vouchers for exchanging food."
Yiyin was stunned and blurted out.
"Food stamps?"
Of course Daxiong Chaoxiu didn't know what the food stamps that came to Yiyin's mind were, but she immediately reacted and nodded.
"Food stamps? Your Majesty's word is accurate. The voucher for exchanging grain can indeed be called food stamps.
Naojiang Jinguan Station built a lot of granaries last year to prepare military rations for the southward march. Just now, the Lord said that he would continue to buy grain this year, so these granaries must be used for storage.
I think we can simply store the welfare grains for the Yutai people in the Naojiangjin Granary, and the execution office will directly issue food stamps to the Yutai people in exchange for food, replacing the current food and beverage accounting method.
Food stamps should not be issued with too large a denomination. According to needs, food stamps of different denominations, one liter, one bucket, and one stone, should be issued. It is up to the people of Yutai to decide how much food to take each time.
By reconciling the accounts with food stamps every time you redeem them, there will be no problems with the accounts being unclear and unable to be reconciled due to transportation losses.”
Yiyin praised.
"Wonderful, what a great idea."
The invoices are not issued for grain, and the people in Yutai go to the granary to exchange for grain and take it away themselves, and they can exchange as much as they want.
Distributing benefits in this way can be completed with only a few staff guarding the granary. The fewer and simpler the steps, the less likely it is that problems will arise.
Yiyin smiled.
"Yes, it's a good idea. Give them food stamps and you can withdraw as much as you want.
Da Xiong Ji, let’s try it out for a while and then submit a detailed set of rules and regulations after they are perfected.
I want to pass it on to Mitsunari Ishida and let Shibachu Fund learn from you. This method can also be used for the annuity payment of Shibachu Fund."
Big Bear bowed to Xiu and said.
"I dare not let you down, I will do my best."
Daxiong Chaoxiu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that the master did not dislike him. However, he had to be more cautious in doing things in the future and not touch the sensitive line of cooperation between Shiba and Uesugi.
