The weather is getting hotter, but the Luoyang court lacks Gao Feng. After He Ruobi and the other two, Yi Feng is more and more convenient to control it.√∟

Yi Feng did not have to go through the court to discuss with his Eastern Palace officials, and then directly issued an edict by the Hanlin Bachelor's Academy, just notifying the three provinces and one notice. With the arrival of the heads of each province and the adjustment of the officials of each state, the Northern Imperial Army was stationed in important places in various places, and all the decrees were carried out very smoothly. The summer harvest work in various places was orderly. Yi Feng specially ordered all provinces, prefectures and counties to increase the summer grain harvest this year. The most important thing is that after the summer grain harvest, the government will do a good job in collecting grain and collecting newly collected grain.

At the same time, Yifeng has allowed provinces to build granaries and store grain in some convenient transportation places to facilitate transshipment or on-site storage. Hedong plans to build Taiyuan warehouses, Hebei plans to build Youzhou warehouses, Liyang warehouses on the north bank of the Yellow River, Henan plans to build Hanjia warehouses, Heyang warehouses, Huiluo warehouses, Luokou warehouses, Kaifeng warehouses in Songzhou, and Qizhou Licheng warehouses in Shandong, including nine large warehouses with the lowest grain storage of more than one million stones. Among them, there are four warehouses around Luoyang City, Hanjia, Heyang, Luokou and Huiluo, which are planned to store up to 50 million stones of grain, becoming the largest grain reserve and transportation center in the country.

"The Jiuda Cangcheng City has started construction, mainly using underground cellar technology. By digging the cellar, it can be sealed and stored for up to nine years." The Minister of Civil Affairs and Jian'an Hou Fan Zigai reported to Yi Feng. According to his report, these cellars are not above-ground cellars but underground cellars, using cellars technology. The construction order of the cellars is about digging an annular foundation groove with an outer diameter of six zhang, an inner diameter of four zhang, about one zhang, and half a zhang deep on the ground, and then the foundation groove is rammed to form a solid warehouse cellar.

The mouth. Then dig a tank-shaped warehouse with a depth of about three and a half meters in the tamped warehouse entrance. The mouth is slightly larger than the bottom. The outer base groove is like a protective cover, making the inner warehouse more solid. In addition, the grain in the warehouse is also divided into layers. In general, the waste waste is much more troublesome than the above-ground warehouse. The ultimate goal is to seal the warehouse at low temperature. Ordinary grains are only stored on the ground for about three years. This underground storage technology can be used for up to nine years.

"Storing for nine years, can the grain still be eaten?" Yi Feng asked. Normal grain will be eaten in one year. Grain merchants collect new grains every year for old grains, and the bottom grains in warehouses that have been stored for more than two years are even used as feed for livestock. Nine years, this time is too long. Can they be eaten?

"Yes, as long as the seal is well and don't open it, then you can eat it in nine years."

According to the underground warehouses designed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, each granary can store 8,000 stones of grain. The minimum design of the nine granaries has 150 underground warehouses. As the largest granary in the design, the Luokou warehouse is planned to build a warehouse with a maximum of 24 million stones of grain, and is full of ambitions. Such a huge granary. The Ministry of Industry therefore proposed to build a warehouse city, establish a city wall gate, and station a large number of troops. At the same time, a supporting Hekou ration transport terminal and carriage tracks are built, making it the largest grain base and transportation base in the capital Luoyang. The purpose of the establishment of the Jiuda Cangcheng is to transport grain from various parts of Guandong in sections through each granary, so that the court can manage and utilize these grains more reasonably and achieve better overall mobilization.

"Will there be too many three thousand cellular warehouses? In addition, is there any hidden dangers like Luokou Cang such an important large granary, built outside Luoyang City?" Yi Feng remembered that in history, Yang Guang later built the Dongdu, dug canals, and then built many granaries along the canal and in Luoyang. The Xingluo Cang in Luokou is like the three thousand cellular warehouses proposed by Fan Zigai. However, such a huge granary was finally captured by Li Mi because it was built outside Luoyang City. Li Mi first seized Li Yang Cang to recruit soldiers and then captured Luokou Cang. His power suddenly increased greatly and became the leader of the anti-king of the Guandong king, which could not be defeated by Luoyang. There were many troops in Luoyang, but because the granary was outside the city, he had to go out of the city to fight and grab grain. He lost his defensive advantage and was defeated by Li Mi one after another.

"Three thousand cellular phones are the largest storage plan. This is for long-term planning, but it will not be built at one time and will be divided into multiple phases. As for the construction in Luokou, it is also because Luokou is right by the Yellow River and is convenient for transportation. After all, if there are three thousand cellular phones, it will be a huge reserve of 24 million stones of grain. The transportation and storage of so much grain are extremely huge. Moreover, there are also Hanjia Warehouse in Luoyang City. Hanjia Warehouse plans to build 500 warehouses, which can store 4 million stones of grain, which is enough for the military and civilians of the Dongdu City. As for the safety of Luokou Warehouse, we have also considered it, so it is proposed to build a warehouse city and station heavy troops to protect it, so safety will not be a problem." Fan Zigai obviously considered these issues that Yi Feng was worried about.

"Well, in terms of construction, you must be careful not to force the recruitment of civil servants. You have to change your mind and spend money to recruit civil servants to build." Yi Feng explained.

Fan Zigai was a little surprised. He never heard that the imperial court did not directly requisition civilians, but instead recruited workers to pay back the money.

"Actually, that doesn't cost much money. Recently, a new industrial and commercial tax law was introduced. We can collect a lot of industrial and commercial taxes from this aspect. With these incomes being paid to the project, it is completely enough to pay. The people are exempted from this labor service, and those who voluntarily work on the construction site can make money. The people will definitely be happy and will support our court. Spending some money can win the hearts of the people. Isn't this account worth it?"

"This is all your highness is kind to the people. Otherwise, no matter how rich the court is, no one will do this." Fan Zigai quickly praised. Although he did not agree with this. Since the crown prince pulled out money from the new income from the industrial and commercial taxation side, he naturally had nothing to say. After all, after the implementation of the new industrial and commercial tax law, the Ministry of Civil Affairs did collect a lot of more money, but the tax system of the new industrial and commercial tax law was extremely advanced. It was not the kind of random levy and extra levy, but it was designed very reasonably, with the most wool being pulled out, but I heard the least sheep calling, and I didn't know how the prince came up with it. However, the fiscal revenue increased greatly, and the pockets in the Ministry of Revenue were very full, so it was indeed not short of this little money.

Yi Feng thought about it and said, "It is a good thing to build nine granaries, which is a long-term consideration. But I have another suggestion, that is, in various prefectures and counties, we must also establish a regular warehouse to adjust the price of grain. We all know that whenever the grain harvest is harvested, that is, when the grain merchants are dispatched, they often unite to suppress the price of grain, which leads to the fact that the more bumper the grain harvest is, the lower the price of grain, and the more difficult the people will be. In this case, the court must do something.

We must increase the layout of Changping warehouses and build them into various prefectures and counties. A minimum grain purchase price is reasonably formulated. When the grain price in the market crosses this warning line, the imperial court will pay a large amount of grain to purchase at the original lowest price. When the market price is higher than the highest price, the government will open Changping warehouses and sell grain to the people at the highest price set by the official. This will not only prevent low grain from harming farmers, but also prevent high grain from harming the people, so as to calm the food market and calm people's hearts."

"This is a benevolent government that has been established, and our dynasty also has it, but the number is limited. Now that your Highness wants to expand the scale of regular closing positions, this is a great thing."

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs must pull out a special amount from the finance department to use it for annual grain purchases, and special funds are used for special purposes. Special personnel should manage it, and in addition, they must review the governor back and forth, so that benevolent government should not eventually become the source of corruption and wealth for some people."

"I remember."

Yi Feng watched Fan Zigai take out a pencil and record it in a small notebook. He nodded in appreciation. This kind of atmosphere originating from Huaihuang is very good. It is very pragmatic, so the officials regard it as such.

"You have another point to remember. Regarding the establishment of charity warehouses in various places, the government should take the initiative to contact the rich landlords and families in various places to establish charity warehouses. In normal times, each family donates grain to prevent famines. The charity warehouse was a special creation of this dynasty and was established in the fifth year of Kaihuang. However, the original court used each family to produce wheat and millet every autumn, which still needs to be improved. Although charity warehouses were for preparation of famines, they should be a concept of mutual help. I think that different grains should be donated into the warehouse according to the different levels of the people's rich and poor. For example, donate grains according to the amount of land of each family, donate one liter of grain per mu, donate more land, and donate less land, so that charity warehouses become a guarantee rather than a burden."

Donating one liter of grain per acre, and donating ten stones of grain per acre, which seems to be more than each family donated five stones, but now few people still have 100 acres of land. Yi Feng specifically stated that donating one liter of land is just the number of grain fields, not mulberry fields. The biggest change is to donate grain per acre, and to donating grain per acre. In this way, those with fields will naturally donate more.

"Your Highness, this charity warehouse is to prepare grain for disasters and famines, and make up for the poor in a good year. Usually, donate grains to store, and open warehouses to distribute them evenly in the event of a desertion year. If you donate grains by acre now, you will also share the grains evenly after the disaster. I am afraid that the wealthy households with a lot of land will be dissatisfied."

Yi Feng didn't care, "It seems that this is a loss for the rich family, but since they are rich, they naturally have to help their neighbors. The greater the ability, the stronger the responsibility. One liter of charity grain per mu is not much. Even if two stones of grain per mu is produced, this liter of charity grain will be less than one percent of its output. What are they reluctant to let go? You should know that if the famine is in a long time, if the imperial court cannot transfer grain for transportation and rescue, then the people have no food to eat and are hungry, then everything can be done. And the hungry people are most likely to do is to rob the big households and seize their food. Not to mention that the food is gone, even their lives may not be guaranteed. Therefore, the charity warehouse is actually a protection for the rich landlords."

"Your Highness said it, it was true, but I'm afraid that the rich people can't understand it."

"They can't figure it out? They can't bear to let it go. But it doesn't matter. They can't figure out that there is still a court? Although the charity warehouse is a civil act of local people to help prepare for famines and disasters, the government must also actively participate. The government can issue an order that donating grains per mu of charity warehouses will be a mandatory obligation. In addition, if you are willing to donate more donors, it is voluntary, but it must not be lower than the official standards. In addition, for the charity warehouse, the government must also send special personnel to supervise and manage them. These charity grains cannot be corrupted by some people. It must be guaranteed that these grains can be used to save disasters and safeguard the people in the years of famine."

Only when you have food in your hands can you feel unhappy.

For the court, the importance of food is unparalleled, and it is even more important than real money and silver. Food is stability and people's hearts.

At this time, Li Mi came in and said, "Report to Your Highness, General Pei is asking for a meeting."

Fan Zigai quickly stood up and said, "I will leave."

Yi Feng stood up and sent him, "What we just talked about is about to be implemented soon. I will tell you the truth. Then I will ask the censor Liu Xingben to send the censor from the Censorate to inspect. If there is a problem in your implementation, and the improper employment of the personnel, you will be impeached at that time."

"I must do my best."

After seeing Fan Zigai off, Yi Feng turned to Li Mi and said, "Please come in."

A moment later, Pei Zeng came in. The Military Information Department he commanded was now officially affiliated with the Supervision Office and its name was changed to the Military Information Department. Regarding Pei Zuo Envoy who turned out to be an outsider, Yi Feng did not regard him as an outsider, and did not politely point to the bed, "Pei Bo, please sit down."

Pei Zeng could not see any grass-roots behavior on his body. He respectfully followed the rules and took a seat after seeing the etiquette. "Congratulations to Your Highness, the southern expedition army has swept across Huainan, and the states have surrendered to the wind and opened the city to surrender, and there is no resistance. Now, the ten prefectures of the Huai River, north of the Yangtze River, and east of the Dabie Mountains, Yang, Chu, Chu, He, Hao, Lu, Shou, Guang, Shen, and Shu have all been recovered by the court."

"Well, the Southern Expedition Army was indeed very smooth." Yi Feng was not too excited. All of this was expected. Yang Guang's biggest mistake was that the entire army advanced westward. He thought he could successfully invade Guanzhong, and then he would attack Hedong. Who would have expected that he could not enter the pass and his nest was confiscated. After all, it was not a war between the two countries, but a battle for the throne within the royal family. Therefore, whether it was the local officials and soldiers of the Huainan prefectures and counties, they did not have any determination to resist firmly. No matter which one wins, they are still the world of the Great Sui, and they are also subjects of the Great Sui. When Yi Feng was smooth and the Southern Expedition Army was in full swing, no one was firmly resisting, Huainan, which was already empty.

"Uncle Pei is here, it must be not that this matter, right?" Yi Feng asked with a smile. The news of the recovery of Huainan has been delivered with Gao Feng's letter. Yi Feng has decided to establish Huainan Province immediately at the East Palace meeting, so that his subordinates can recommend officials from the third department of Huainan Province and prepare to send people to Huainan to assess the current officials in Huainan to decide on the subsequent personnel adjustments. "Is it the military situation in Liaodong?"

"It's the military situation of Longyou. Yang Su and Shi Wansui had just fought a battle. Shi Wansui lost nearly 20,000 troops and had withdrawn from Huizhou."

Yi Feng smiled, "Yang Su is really amazing, how much damage did he hurt?"

"Yang Su's injuries are only a thousand, and it's insignificant. Long live the victory of Shi."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mi came in again, "Report to Your Highness, General Liu Ying of the Secret Service asked for a visit, saying that there was important information."
