Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

"Hurry~! Hurry up!"

At noon, on the street in the east of Taiyuan City, a team of yamen escorted more than a dozen grain carts heading west.

These yamen did not come from the governor's house, but from the county government of Jinyang County in Taiyuan City!

Taiyuan belongs to Bingzhou, and Bingzhou has thirteen counties under its jurisdiction. Jinyang County and Bingzhou's state offices are both in Taiyuan City. From the morning Wang Liaoyuan ordered the mobilization of 10,000 stone grains from the official warehouse, and all the yamen in Taiyuan City took action. Temporarily acted as a "grain transport team".

After all, this 10,000 stone of grain is not a small amount. At this time, one stone is about 100 catties in modern times, and 10,000 stones of grain is 1 million catties. Just transporting these grains to the truck requires a lot of manpower and labor. Time, not to mention that the officials at the official warehouse have to make detailed records of every grain moved out!

And the government soldiers in Taiyuan City are now busy guarding the city gate and maintaining public order in the city, so the matter of transporting food can only be left to the yamen in the city's government offices!

At noon, the scorching sun and the scorching sun, the yamen pushing the grain carts were all sweating profusely.

"Boss Wang, can you let the brothers rest for a while! We've moved here for the third time!"

A yamen who was a little bit ahead couldn't help but said to the chief yamen at this time.

Hearing this, the "head of the king" frowned, and scolded: "Why do you take a break? The governor has ordered a total of 10,000 stone grains to be released from the official warehouse. There are fifty or sixty grain stores in the city combined. , we and the other yamen brothers have to transport this 10,000 stone of grain to the major grain stores in the city before it gets dark! It took less than three trips to take a break? According to your shipping method, we It won't be finished tomorrow!"

The yamen who had spoken earlier was reprimanded by the "Boss Wang", and his face suddenly became a little bit overwhelmed. He forced himself to defend himself: "But it's time for dinner, and the brothers are hungry, boss Wang, you have to let me Brothers, fill your stomach first? How can you work on an empty stomach?”

Hearing what he said, the rest of the yamen also turned their attention to the head king. Obviously, they all wanted to rest and eat. The head king saw this and pondered for a while, and then said:

"That's good! After this trip is over, go back to eat first, and then continue to work after eating!"

"Okay~!"

The yamen officers were greatly encouraged when they heard the words, their tired bodies seemed to be full of strength again, and the speed of advance suddenly increased by three points!

"The food delivery team is here! The food delivery team is here~!"

When the grain-carrying team reached Gujiangfang, they were about to turn south. Suddenly, a group of people rushed out of the lane opposite. There were men and women, old and young. They were all holding cloth bags. When the food team appeared, these people instantly became excited and swarmed over here.

"Lord Inspector didn't lie to us! He really opened the warehouse and put food on it!"

"Master! Can this grain be sold to me for five buckets first? Anyway, you have to transport it to the grain store, so why not sell it to us now!"

"That's right! Master, you sell the food to us first! My family has only one day's worth of food left, and it's almost impossible to open the pot~!"

As soon as this group of people swarmed up, they surrounded the dozens of grain trucks in an instant.

In other words, if the people in front of them were not all unarmed, the yamen would think it was bandits who came to grab the food!

"Wang Tou'er"'s expression tightened, and he pressed his right hand on the handle of the knife at his waist. He looked at the surging and excited people, and shouted in a deep voice, "This is the grain that was escorted to the major grain stores in the city on the orders of the Chief Inspector. If you want to buy grain, please wait at the major grain stores, and my responsibility is to deliver these grains to the grain stores by a pound!"

"Waiting at the grain store? No way! Lord Jun! A few batches of grain went to the Yongliang Grain Store, Chen's Grain Store, and Changfu Grain Store to wait, but they were all looted after a while! We just bought it. No way!"

"Yes, yes! The city is crowded with people at two o'clock at the moment, and we have no chance to buy food at the back!"

"Master Jun, you can do it! Sell the little old man some food! I heard that Taiyuan City will be closed for more than a month. If you don't sell the old man some food, the seven members of the little old man's family will starve to death! "

"Yes! Lord Jun! You can sell us the grain! You have to take it to the grain store so you don't have to!"

People you said to me, and the "head of the king" quickly understood the reason why these people came to block the "grain transportation team". It turned out that the announcement of "opening warehouses and releasing grains" issued by the governor's office in the morning and Without stabilizing the hearts of the residents, the people in the city still set off a wave of food purchases.

This has led to the fact that the grain delivered to the grain store has not been "warmed", and has been directly robbed by the people who came to buy grain, and those people who did not grab the first few batches of grain in the grain store, they "Find a new way", choose to come over to contain the grain transport team!

"How is that possible? Today, each grain store is allocated only one or two hundred shi of grain from the official warehouse, and the Yongliang grain shop has been allocated no less than four hundred shi, so much grain can't be sold for seven or eight days. It's over, how could it be all sold out in just a while~?"

After listening to what the people said, the head king was a little unbelievable.

A strong man replied loudly at this time: "What's impossible? If you don't believe me, Wang Zhaotou, go to the major grain stores to see. Now every grain store is crowded with people. As long as the grain arrives, it will not be consumed Two quarters of an hour, they will all be robbed! We went a little late, and we couldn't see the food at all!"

The head of Wang frowned and said, "But the notice on the governor's house doesn't say that each household can only buy five buckets at most.

Mi, could it be that the people of the entire Taiyuan City are all rushing to buy food? "

A wealthy middle-aged aunt said at this time: "Oh! The government said that each household can only buy five buckets of rice, but in fact, whichever house can produce as many people, just how many people will come out! The grain store owner is only concerned about How could they have the time to care if they belonged to the same household? Some big households send out dozens of servants and maids alone. When it’s our turn, where will there be food? I heard that Taiyuan City will be closed for more than a month. , oh, how can we live! Wang Zhaotou, please show kindness and sell us some food?"

Although the government has put forward a "purchase restriction" measure, this era is not an information age after all, and it is impossible to connect citizens' information to the Internet. To strictly implement the policy of "restricting purchases of five buckets of rice per household", the official bookkeeper must be present, according to the household registration. The roster to verify that the people who bought the food are from the same household!

But first, this verification process is too troublesome. Second, the main energy of the government is to open warehouses and maintain public security. It is unreasonable, especially for a large family. A large family has hundreds of servants alone, and there are a lot of direct lineages and collaterals. You can expect them to buy only five buckets of rice per household. Unrealistic, maybe people's daily food consumption is more than this!

It's just that the head of the king doesn't understand. These people keep saying that Taiyuan City will be closed for more than a month. Where did this news come from?

Just as the head king was about to ask this question, at the back of the crowd, a man with sharp eyes raised his voice and shouted loudly:

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is obviously because the government and the grain merchants are in unison, trying to use the city closure to drive up the price of grain! You can't let these grains be transported to the grain store, otherwise we will have to starve to death~!"
