Chapter 66 The Stupidest Way (Please recommend, please collect)
On the way to the easternmost part of Chang'an City, Zhang Ming saw that all households were forced to go home by the Imperial Army. After all, when distributing food, the more people there are, the easier it is to be confused. Therefore, in order to prevent accidents, the commander of the Imperial Army ordered All the people in Chang'an had to stay at home, and then about half of the forbidden army was sent to take charge of order, and the other half of the forbidden army was divided into five batches to distribute food.

Zhang Ming and Li Kang, the president of the Forbidden Army, arrived at the easternmost point soon, and then divided the Forbidden Army into two again, and another 250 members of the Forbidden Army went to the northeast region. The reason for doing this was to speed up the verification process.

In order to improve efficiency again, Zhang Ming divided the 250 forbidden soldiers who were in charge of verifying the southeast region into five batches, and each batch started verification according to the established route.

The risk of doing so is actually very high, and Zhang Ming also understands that after all, the quality of the imperial guards is not very high, and the result of the inspection often only depends on the quality of the person being inspected, but he really has no choice, Chang'an City is too big, There are about 10 households in the city. If he wants to complete all the inspections in one day, he can only do this. Before fairness and efficiency, Zhang Ming can only choose efficiency, and it is not easy to have inspections.

However, this also made Zhang Ming realize the importance of the supervision system. If it weren't for the fact that he is not deeply rooted in Chang'an City and can only rely on the power of the Forbidden Army to verify the people of Chang'an, how could a mere food distribution be so complicated.

Zhang Ming has also read many stories related to history. In history, whenever there was a disaster year, the people could not survive, and the higher-ups wanted to distribute food for the disaster. There was only a little porridge in the hands of the victims, especially in the last years of the dynasty, the food was gone before it even reached the hands of the people.

So Zhang Ming adopted the most stupid way of distributing food, in order to ensure that most of the food can be distributed in place as much as possible. Although the verification may not have much effect, there is an essential difference between having and not having it.

Zhang Ming led Li Kangxian, the president of the imperial army, into a house, and saw someone busy at home, and then stepped forward to ask.

"Uncle, have you received the food distributed by the government?" Li Ming looked at the uncle who was walking towards them.

"This official, the villain has already received the food from the government," the uncle said happily.

"How many stones?" Li Ming asked again.

"The official said it was four stones, and I guess it's about the same. I've only heard that the government asks for food from people before, but I've never heard that the government distributes food to people. You are all good people, sir." The uncle said a little excitedly .

"Uncle, we were sent by the government to check. Since there is no problem, then we will leave first." Since the uncle said that there is no problem, Zhang Ming certainly does not intend to entangle him again, otherwise it will be easy for the people of Chang'an to think that they are here to ask for food. Yes, after all, the people at the bottom have almost no trust in the government.

Then Zhang Ming asked the household registration officer to record the data.

This is the case for one household, and the same for ten households, but one household seems to have not reached four shi. Zhang Ming also asked the household registration officer to record it truthfully, and then asked people to make it up to four shi.

"Your Majesty, why don't you divide the food according to the population, but give each household four stones of food, which is counterintuitive?" Along the way, Li Kang, the president of the imperial army, looked at His Majesty's inspection, and he always had this question in his heart.

As a usual practice, even if the imperial court encounters a disaster year and wants to rescue the people, it will distribute food according to the number of people. Although the people at the bottom hardly get food, the imperial court at least does this.

Cui Ming asked Zhang Ming this question before, and Zhang Ming answered it like this at the time, and he said it again today.

"To make food distribution easier." Zhang Ming replied.

The imperial guards in the palace are all ordinary Chang'an citizens who do not know a single word. Every additional procedure will complicate the process of food distribution, and complexity is the most taboo at present. The core is that food can be distributed to the people. , Never overestimate the Forbidden Army of this era, this is Zhang Ming's warning to himself.

Although Li Kang couldn't understand His Majesty's words, there must be a reason for His Majesty to do so. After all, their Majesty is not an ordinary person, and it is not surprising that they have thoughts beyond ordinary people.

After a morning's inspection, I finally completed more than half of the target task. It is estimated that in about an hour, all the inspections will be completed.

At around [-] o'clock in the afternoon, all the work of the forbidden army has been completed. Although some households have lost some food, they have made up for it soon. After asking the reason, I found out that such a simple food distribution operation will cause some households to forget. In some cases, some households paid less, and some households gave more.

Yes, we must not expect too much from ordinary people in this era, especially in the absence of popularization of culture, it is already a great achievement to be able to distribute food in place.

"Doctor Yang, why does Your Majesty only distribute food to the poor and not to the aristocratic families?" Xu Nian asked.

"Are our two families short of food? Your Majesty's food distribution at this time is nothing more than stabilizing the interior of Chang'an City. Who knows if these disaster victims will cause trouble for the city defenders," Yang Biao said.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the aristocratic families in the city will join the enemy army?" Xu Nian asked again.

"Of course Your Majesty is afraid, but what good does it do us aristocratic families to take refuge in the enemy army outside?" Yang Biao naturally saw it clearly.

Don't look at the fact that the food distribution was not given to aristocratic families and wealthy merchants, but the aristocratic families and wealthy merchants in the city are not fools. First of all, not to mention the fact that Sishi's grain is only 2 days' food for the family, and they won't have it just because of 2 days' food On the other hand, only fools do things that are not beneficial. Dong Zhuo’s subordinates did not treat this group of families well when they searched Chang’an City. Rich merchants, even those in Luoyang City were decapitated. Wouldn’t they welcome Dong Zhuo’s subordinates to the city now? Looking for a dead end, not to mention do they have that ability?In the next step, Zhang Ming will send people to monitor every move of these aristocratic families.

It was not until the evening that Zhang Ming led the imperial army back to the Chang'an Palace. This time the food distribution consumed 32 shi of grain, and there were still 128 million shi of grain in the palace, enough for the soldiers to eat for a long time.

"Report, Your Majesty, Zhang Wen begs to see you." Not long after Zhang Ming had rested, a yellow gatekeeper rushed into the palace.

"Let him in." Zhang Ming said.

Unexpectedly, just after the distribution of food to ordinary people in Chang'an during the day, the military merit system for ordinary soldiers will be released at night. Zhang Ming is looking forward to the new military merit system.

As expected, Zhang Wen came to the palace with his military merit system.

"Your Majesty, this is a time-consuming military merit system. You can take a look at it first. If there is anything you don't understand, I can explain it to Your Majesty at any time." Zhang Wen had already planned this military merit system, but Due to Emperor Ling's prostitution in the harem every day and his lack of interest in politics, his design has not been well displayed. This time His Majesty convened a court meeting, which gave him a chance to show it.
