Chapter 370 Inspecting the Granary

Ok.

Ying Changsheng noticed something.

That is, what he just said was a bit too full.

Because, no one can guarantee that there is really a lot of water vapor over the Sichuan Basin at this time.

In this situation.

What should we do if the rocket fails to rain successfully after it takes off?

Thinking of this, Ying Changsheng couldn't help but feel a little headache, he immediately opened his mouth to Li Ping in front of him and said.

"Li Ping, wait a minute!"

"The nineteenth son is called Weichen, do you have anything else to order?"

For a moment, Li Ping couldn't help being surprised, then turned around, walked a few steps to Ying Changsheng, and asked.

"Although this drought control has a high probability of success, the problem is that there is still a [-]% chance that it will fail. As the saying goes, don't worry about victory, think about defeat first!"

"Under such circumstances, we have to think about what to do if we fail to manage the drought!"

"What does the nineteenth son mean?"

The moment Ying Changsheng's voice fell.

For a moment, everyone inevitably turned their gazes to Ying Changsheng in front of them, and cautiously opened their mouths to ask.

Well, indeed.

In case it fails.

Doesn't it mean that the drought in Shu County will continue?

Will this year’s crops also fail?

Thinking of this, the people following Ying Changsheng, as well as Li Ping, the governor of Shu County and several officials around him, inevitably showed expressions of fear.

At this time, Ying Changsheng opened his mouth and spoke to the left and right.

"What else can I do?"

"If it is impossible, if the drought can be managed, then there is only one way left!"

"This method is none other than this!"

"Do everything possible to raise food and carry out disaster relief!"

After finishing speaking, Ying Changsheng looked at Li Ping who was beside him, and opened his mouth.

"Li Ping, how is the granary in Shu County?"

"Reporting to the Nineteenth Young Master, everything in the granary is naturally normal!"

Hearing this, Li Ping secretly thought that something was wrong, he immediately grinned and said to Ying Changsheng with a smile.

In his heart, he was beating the drums, for fear of winning longevity, he went to inspect the granary.

Shu County is located in a grain-producing area, and the grain output here is huge. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for all the grain here to be transported to Guanzhong. A large amount of grain is left in the local granary. The quantity is about 200 million stones, which is not a small amount.

Although it is impossible to completely solve the current drought in Shu County and feed the local people, if you add sweet potatoes and potatoes, then it will be better to let the people have enough to eat and prevent them from starving to death. can be done.

But here's the problem.

His family knows his own affairs, and Li Ping is very clear about one thing.

Knowing the granaries up and down the Shu County, in fact, the situation is not good at all.

The amount of food inside is not as abundant as imagined.

the reason is simple.

As a land of abundance.

The grain output in Shu County is very large. How high is it?

There was so much that I couldn't finish it all.

Under such circumstances, Shu County has formed a characteristic for a long time.

That is, in the granary, grain is transported in every year, but no grain comes out, and the grain stored in the granary will not be transferred out.

Ever since, a problem has arisen.

This led to officials having evil thoughts.

Then, the grain in the granary was sold.

Anyway, there is plenty of food in Shu County.

In the granary, the grain that was originally used to store grain and prepare for shortages is also useless.

its so.

It would be better to sell these grains directly. In this way, wouldn't it be possible to get a lot of money and be able to embezzle?
As a result, over a long period of time, the granaries in Shu County no longer had the number on the books, and there were only empty warehouses left.

And how can the officials above embezzle food, the soldiers in charge of the granary, and the petty officials survive?

Over time, the grain in these granaries has been decreasing. Now, Li Ping is actually not sure how much is left. However, after careful guessing, he feels that the grain in this granary is, The quantity should not be more than.

No more than 50 stones.

How can a granary with so much food missing be inspected?

When he thought of this, Li Ping couldn't help but feel extremely frightened.

At the same time, Ying Changsheng saw that there was no response, and then he opened his mouth to speak.

"The food problem is a big problem. We must pay special attention to it. Otherwise, people will starve to death. Therefore, pass on my order!"

"Immediately, according to my young master's instructions, get ready. My young master is going to inspect this granary tomorrow. Go and see what's going on inside the granary. Check the storage situation of the granary in Shu County!"

"promise!"

After Ying Changsheng's instructions fell.

For a while, Li Ping didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. He nodded hastily, and then opened his mouth to speak.

In response, Ying Changsheng inevitably showed a smile, waved and said.

"Then back off!"

"Yes Yes!"

Li Ping quickly retreated.

After retreating, according to Ying Changsheng's instructions, he handed over the rocket to others to make, but Ying Changsheng personally led the people to make the sugar gunpowder here.

The production of sugar gunpowder is relatively simple.

However, this thing is too dangerous to make, so Ying Changsheng feels that it is more reliable to do it himself, and it is much safer than leaving it to other people.

under his command.

The production of sugar gunpowder is fast, and in a blink of an eye, a large amount of sugar gunpowder has been made properly.

While making sugar gunpowder.

It's located not far from the Sheriff's Mansion.

At this time, after Li Ping had finished ordering the craftsmen to build the launcher and that, the shell of the rocket used to fly into the sky, he hurriedly summoned the officials. Right now, he was talking to the left and right with a solemn expression on his face.

"Everyone, the nineteenth son wants to inspect the granary in Shu County!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this sentence, the faces of all the officials changed in an instant.

Well, they do have to be scared.

Because the number of local granaries in Shu County is really too short.

Moreover, the shortfall here has nothing to do with them.

Almost all officials in Shu County were able to share some profits from the granary.

In addition, even the soldiers guarding the granary and the petty officials were the same. They used to get food from the granary in normal times.

At this time, after hearing that Ying Changsheng was going to inspect the granary, it was inevitable that these people were a little panicked and a little overwhelmed.

"Okay, everyone, it's too late to panic now, so hurry up and think about how to deal with the nineteenth son!"
