Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 293

Chapter 294

Hearing what Wen Jiao said, Cao Chong had a severe headache.

This is already the simplest method, and the elementary school students of later generations will be able to do it well.

"It's not because they cut off their way to earn money, so they deliberately resisted it?" Cao Chong doubted.

"There are reasons for this, but mainly because old habits die hard."

I knew it!

In the past, the accounting method full of loopholes was too convenient for the subordinate staff to make money, and there was no way to check it.

"This new bookkeeping method must be implemented as soon as possible and thoroughly. Luoyang's future books will all use the new bookkeeping method. You must take inventory of Luoyang's various inventories as soon as possible."

"I have already exempted the people of Luoyang from the summer tax this year, which has reduced a lot of work for the household department. However, the batch of grain and supplies I entrusted Henan Yin to buy, as well as the grain sold to Luoyang by the prime minister's mansion, all have to arrive in the account. .”

Speaking of this, Cao Chong thought for a while, and then said to Wen Jiao: "Well, you pick some skilled people and go to Xingyang with me tomorrow."

Wen Jiao was taken aback: "Go to Xingyang? What are you doing with the people from the household department?"

"Husband, are you going to Xingyang?" Diao Chan asked curiously.

"Yes, the school office sent me a letter from Guo He yesterday, saying that the grain sold to Luoyang by the prime minister's office will be transferred from the Xingyang Ao Cang, and the supplies I entrusted him to buy are complete. Let's go to Xingyang." Cao Chong explained to the three women.

"What are you asking him to buy? You're obviously extorting!" Wen Jiao gave him an angry look.

"Nonsense! Obviously I bought it, and I sent all the gold I bought to Guo He!"

"I'm ashamed to say that all your gold must have gone into Guo He's pocket. It's really strange that Guo He is willing to help you!" Wen Jiao retorted.

"Then I don't care, anyway, I gave a sum of gold to Guo He to help me buy supplies, and the rest is none of my business!" Cao Chong said rascally.

"I'm too lazy to talk about your nasty things. What kind of tricks are you planning to go to Guo He this time? You should pay attention, you have offended many people."

Wen Jiao didn't realize that she was becoming more and more concerned about Cao Chong.

"What's the wrong idea? This time it was Guo He who wrote me a letter asking me to come over, and I don't know why."

"Accordingly, no matter whether he sent people to bring the supplies or we send people to carry them by ourselves, as long as we make it clear in the official document, there is no need to write a private letter and ask me to make a special trip."

"I guess he wants to take revenge on you, you sent his son to the military camp." Zhen Mi laughed.

Cao Chong glared at her: "I asked Guo Yi to go to Peking University for his own good. Besides, I didn't force him to go. He can leave at any time."

"I'm afraid that he will cheat me on food and supplies. When I asked him to help buy supplies last time, he didn't seem to be happy! I'll bring more people this time, so as not to be cheated by him."

"Hmph! If he wants to trick you, he won't let you go in person. You should pay attention to safety on the road!"

"You have blackmailed a lot of people this time, and you just killed Zheng Yi, so beware of being retaliated against!" Wen Jiao glared at him.

"Yes, sir, Xiahouba is not here, you should bring more soldiers, the Zheng family in Xingyang is very powerful." Hearing what Wenjiao said, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi were also worried.

"Don't worry! I'll let Zhao Yun go with me!" Cao Chong said as he glared at Wen Jiao.

"Wen Jiao, you will recruit a few skilled workers from the Ministry of Accounts tomorrow. I will help you keep an eye on the account entry method for this batch of grain and supplies, and it will also be a demonstration for other people in the Ministry of Accounts."

"Well, I'll let Xue Qi, a doctor in Duzhi, and Zheng Geng, a doctor in Cangbu, take a team of subordinates to follow you!"

When Cao Chong heard this, he looked at Wen Jiao in puzzlement, he doesn't need the doctor of the two divisions, does he?
"Xue Qi is not very proficient in business, and she is also a woman. She is squeezed out in the household department. I am too busy to help her. You just teach her well."

Wen Jiao explained, "As for that Zheng Geng, he is the one who resists the new bookkeeping the most this time, and it just happens to teach you a lesson!"

Cao Chong covered his head, Wen Jiao, you are too good at ordering people around in different ways, so I have to train your subordinates for you!

Cao Chong brought Zhao Yun, a team of guards, and a group of household officials and subordinates to Xingyang in a mighty way.

Seeing Cao Chong's battle, Guo He's eyelids jumped: Are you here to rob?
"What? You mean to exchange old grains with me? Lord Ling Yin, you have old grains in your Ao granary, isn't it? Could it be that Xia Harvest's wheat has already been put into the warehouse?" Cao Chong's eyes widened, and he didn't understand what Guo He meant. mean.

"I'm not exchanging it with you. I'm just a lobbyist. Ao Cang's grain is from last year or the year before, and it's not considered old grain. Someone plans to exchange it with you for old grain from three years ago." Guo He explained.

Isn't the grain from the year before last called old grain?

Cao Chong murmured to himself, what kind of Chen Liang are you talking about?
"Lord Ling Yin, is it really Chen Liang from three years ago?"

"Cough... It's been about five years! People said this to me three years ago, so I'll just tell the truth..."

Cao Chong secretly scolded Guo He as an old fox, and at the same time, he was surprised who had such a big face to let Guo He be a lobbyist himself?

But what is even more hateful is: in these years of war, the people all over the world are struggling to die of hunger, and countless people die of starvation every year. Under such circumstances, some people have put food for more than five years!

"Xingyang is rich enough! There are more than five years old grain!"

"Young master, you don't need to sneer at me. When I was preparing military rations for the prime minister, this old man also ate porridge twice a day. This is someone else's food and has nothing to do with this old man," Guo He glared at Cao Chong.

"Tell them, no change!"

Guo He took a look at Cao Chong and persuaded him, "Young master, don't be arrogant. Even if you buy one hundred thousand shi from the Prime Minister's Mansion this time, you will still be short of food next year in Luoyang, right? Two percent more is [-] shi of grain. For you Helps a lot!"

Cao Chong was a little angry: "It's true that Luoyang is short of food, but you can't do this. Who knows how long their old food has been stored. What if they eat bad people? Luoyang's refugees are inherently unstable. Once something happens, the consequences will be disastrous!"

With such advanced storage methods in later generations, the grain storage period is only about five years, let alone now.

Besides, those people said five years, who knows how long it has been released!

Eating moldy grains could kill someone in one meal, Cao Chong didn't dare to take the risk!
Guo He glared at Cao Chong: "You think the old man is really a lobbyist for them. The old man sees that Luoyang is short of food and wants to help the young master. The old man has seen the food. Although it is seriously aged, it can still be eaten."

"Since the young master is unwilling, the old man will reject them."

Cao Chong quickly apologized to Guo He: "Lord Ling Yin, Cao Chong is very grateful for your kindness!"

"Ling Yin, although you say that you have sharp eyesight, it is only tens of thousands of stones of grain, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions. If they mix it with some seriously moldy food, Ling Yin has supervised the military rations. You should know that a bowl of moldy rice can be enough human life!"

Guo He slapped the table: "They dare!"
