But after a few years, there will be a lot of surplus rice in the warehouse. If it is not updated in time, the rice will become stale and inedible.

Therefore, during the reign of the late Emperor, it was stipulated that rice from Changping Cangcang could be used as military rations after two years, and the rice would be repaid with new rice.

But as soon as this case was opened, the behavior of disbursing grain for storage was unstoppable.

While the rice is being misappropriated legally, the phenomenon of unauthorized misappropriation is also very serious, so that when disaster relief is urgently needed, there is no rice available.

The problem of local governments distributing free rice without authorization has become increasingly serious, so the court has continuously introduced new laws and regulations to strengthen management.

In the first year of Kangding, the imperial court issued a law stipulating that "if one day passes, he will be imprisoned, and a hundred sticks will be given; on the second day, one level will be added, and the offender will be punished for one year. Therefore, he will be transferred to other departments and commanded according to his own authority."

Good at implementing laws].

However, even if strict laws are adopted to manage the unauthorized use of disaster relief materials, it cannot stop local officials from unauthorized misappropriation of Changpingcang.

You can watch and after a period of time, the data of normal positions in various places will be reported. The data will look good and basically comply with the regulations.

If you really want to check it, if you post it in advance, it will still be full when you look at it again. But when it comes to disaster relief, people are starving to death all over the mountains and plains. But after the disaster year, the accounts of Changpingcang have been settled.

.

Therefore, generally speaking, when we provide household disaster relief, we generally do not take Changpingcang’s data seriously. It only counts if we have real money and silver in our hands to provide disaster relief.”

Zhang Heng sneered: "So it was a famine instead, and the bad debts of Chang Pingcang were covered up. When they provided rice and ten thousand shi for disaster relief, they dared to report to the police that they had given 200,000 shi for grain relief, and then naturally misappropriated the original money."

Was the food stolen?"

Fang Yuanque gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's worthy of reminding you, you really understand the world!"

Zhang Heng felt even more upset when he heard this. Originally, he thought that Chang Pingcang could take the lead. Even if he was corrupt, he didn't dare to be so arrogant. But now, listening to Fang Yuanque, it seems that he can't count on it too much.

Always close your position, otherwise you will really miss something big!

Fang Yuanque sighed: "The place is also difficult, the money and food have basically been collected, what should we do if there is no money in the place, we can only use a variety of means to make money!

For example, when collecting grain and rice, all kinds of expenses are increased, and all kinds of exorbitant taxes are imposed.

As far as I know, there are two types of additional taxes: transfer, conversion, additional consumption, free warehouse, additional tax money, dividing the money and rounding it up, large buckets and small buckets, dry noodles and noodles, presenting samples, and preparing.

There are 13 items in total including borrowing, repeated reminders, missed tax reminders and others.

Each item has many different names, but even so, it is difficult to satisfy.

There is no other option but to misappropriate Changping rice money. Most of the time there is no problem. After all, disasters are not happening in every place every year. As long as they are replenished at the end of the year, it will be fine.

So, when we were doing household statistics, there was a saying, "The official items in the accounts are different from those in the calendar, and the items in the calendar are different from those in the warehouse. At the end of the account, there was one or two hundred thousand in money and goods.

But the calendar and the treasury are completely missing. The collection of exorcisms and memorials are just useless words.]

During the previous drought in the Jianghuai River, the official items in the accounts, the quantities recorded in the calendars, and the actual amount of grain and rice stored in the warehouses were all different.

At that time, the final account recorded one or two hundred thousand in money and goods, but when it came time to put out food, there was no food to put out.

The officials were furious and sent people to investigate. When the officials who went there took a look inside the warehouse, they were shocked because there was not even a grain of rice in the warehouse, but there were a bunch of rats that had starved to death."

Zhang Heng let out a long breath, with a murderous look in his eyes: "Everyone has difficulties, it's difficult for the court, and it's even harder for the people. Chang Pingmi cannot be touched originally. This is the life-saving rice for the people. Since they dare to ask Chang Pingmi

If you start, you should be prepared to lose your head!"

Fang Yuanque was suddenly shocked. Hearing what Zhang Heng meant, did he want to investigate Chang Pingcang?

Fang Yuanque hurriedly asked: "It's important to mention that Changpingcang has too many connections. If we really want to investigate, the implications will be too great. If a shocking case is really involved, you will offend many people."

This is not good for your career!"

Zhang Heng shook his head and said: "There is nothing you can do without offending others. Changping meters is too important. This is the most important part of relieving the victims. The third division and military rations are just auxiliary. The most important thing is Changping meters.

The amount of rice is often large, and it is all located at the disaster site, so there is no need to send it in from other places. It can not only alleviate the disaster in time, but also play a role in calming people's hearts."

Fang Yuanque smiled bitterly and said: "However, if it has been embezzled and corrupted, it means it is not there. If it is there, we can find it without checking. Apart from uncovering a large number of corrupt officials, it will not be of any benefit to disaster relief. Our landlord is mainly

To save the famine, there is no need to interfere with other matters, right?"

Zhang Heng smiled: "But it's not necessarily the case. It's not there now. If you check it out, it will be there. If it is there, it won't be there again."

Fang Yuanque was a little confused when he heard this, but Zhang Heng didn't say much, and instead ordered him to call all Zhu Chenzhong and Qiao Xinyou.

When Qiao Xinyou saw Zhang Heng, he congratulated him and said, "It's an extraordinary move to raise the point. I received nearly 600,000 yuan in disaster relief funds as soon as I made the move. This achievement is truly the first in the history of the household! Congratulations to the raise!"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "This is also dependent on your efforts, and this is also your contribution. On the contrary, I took advantage of you..."

Qiao Xinyou, Zhu Chenzhong and the others all quickly said modestly.

Zhang Heng was not willing to spend his precious time on such politeness, so he immediately changed the subject: "...I invite you here today to discuss a matter."

Fang Yuanque hurriedly said: "If you have any suggestions, just ask."

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "I have decided that Hufang will send a special envoy to the state capitals in early May to investigate the storage situation in Changpingcang. You can make arrangements."

When Qiao Xinyou and Zhu Chenzhong heard the news for the first time, they were a little surprised and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"Tips! Be careful about this!" Zhu Chenzhong's face was solemn.

"Yeah, a reminder, this matter is very involved, so we need to act with caution!" Qiao Xinyou also said anxiously.

Zhang Heng smiled and explained to them in a low voice.

"To remind you, you are really... really..." Qiao Xinyou thought for a long time but couldn't think of the right words. Zhu Chenzhong immediately came to the rescue and said: "In the midst of strategizing, we can win the battle thousands of miles away!"

"Ha, that's it!"

Qiao Xinyou laughed, and then said to himself - you are such an old, well, little fox!

So treacherous!
