Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Chapter 395: Districts are determined according to the grain, and grain chiefs are established in the districts.

Chief Secretary of Nanhe, Runing Mansion.

As time passed slowly, almost all the people in the most severely affected area knew about the frost disaster.

But fortunately, a response plan was put forward in time, so while waiting for the court's food and fodder to arrive, everything was relatively calm.

Except for the temporary government office set up by Zhao Zheng next to the grain distribution point:

If you encounter any crime, you can report it here at any time.

Of course, it is not that no illegal incidents have occurred, because during this time when people are easily panicked, even if they respond in time, it is impossible to stop everyone who is interested.

On the contrary, too many people came to report the crime.

From the beginning, Zhao Zheng's attitude of spending thousands of dollars to buy bones was very fast and proper after he handled the first case.

All the officials and government servants in Runing Mansion hardly stopped.

It doesn't matter.

After all, Zhao Zheng and the King of Zhou promised that after the disaster passed, the court would issue corresponding rewards to them.

The real problem lies in the distribution of the case characteristics they collected.

It can be said that Zhao Zheng knew that the result must be a normal distribution with one pillar supporting the sky without drawing a graph and looking at the table.

He even hesitated a little as to whether this was called a normal distribution.

"Sir, another villager just came to report that his grain chief had withheld taxes and grain from the fish and meat village."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Zheng exhaled helplessly and nodded to the government servant in front of him.

"No, if you continue like this, your legs will be broken!"

Looking at a team of government officials leaving again, and looking at the local officials who were already very skilled in distributing grain, Zhao Zhengcai subconsciously narrowed his eyes and made a decision with confidence.

Grain grows.

To put it simply, in this era, because transportation is underdeveloped and tax collection is a seasonal job, Lao Zhu felt that if the court wanted to train some officials to do this, it would not be able to support too many. , less is not enough.

So at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lao Zhu specially set up a temporary position under the people's superior officials based on the amount of grain paid by various places, responsible for collecting taxes and grain during the harvest season.

Lao Zhu's idea is very good, and in a sense, it can be said that he is in perfect harmony with Zhao Zheng.

That is, the rich do more and the poor do less.

Because during the tax and grain collection and payment period, all losses and expenditures are the responsibility of the grain chief.

Of course, at the same time, they can also get some rewards. For example, as long as they do not commit a crime within their job responsibilities, they can enjoy extrajudicial privileges and exchange the punishment for the crime with a cane.

There are also special ascending channels and occasional rewards.

According to the grain, the district is determined, and the grain chief is established in the district.

This is really a good idea, but unfortunately, it ignores human nature.

If you have extra-legal privileges, others will either not break the law, or they will not be afraid of being sued if they break the law.

When you talk about the promotion channel, let’s not mention the attraction of this channel to interested people when Lao Zhu is the emperor. Let’s mention the basic selection criteria for the grain chief: a certain culture and a big family.

This is simply because those who need it cannot use it, and those who don’t need it look down on it. It’s a complete misallocation of resources.

You said rewards, no, occasional rewards.

Let's not talk about this, which is very spiritual occasionally. Just talk about rewards, which are nothing more than firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea and treasure banknotes. Think of it as the basic condition for becoming a grain manager...

So as time goes by, for those who have the conditions, the position of grain manager begins to slowly change.

Someone in a wealthy family committed something wrong and couldn't hide it, so he became the head of grain.

The people assigned to them are illiterate and don't know the rules above. They just want to get some windfall, so they should share their share of the tax and their own family's tax.

If it hadn't been for the frost disaster, Zhao Zheng had set up this temporary yamen, popularized science, and given free classes, he wouldn't have known that the setup of grain chiefs all over the world had become a cancer.

"what!"

"Master Zhao, you plan to summon all the grain chiefs!"

After the local officials heard Zhao Zheng's words, after so many days of getting along with him, and their understanding of the Zhao family, they still didn't know what he planned to do.

Gathering all the grain chiefs is definitely not just for playing house.

What will be the consequences?

When these officials thought of this, they didn't even dare to think further. They swallowed their saliva in fear and hurriedly stopped Zhao Zheng.

"Master Zhao, stop it, we can't take care of this kind of thing."

"Submit a letter! By the way! Master Zhao! We can also jointly submit a petition together!"

"During this period, because of your special instructions, Mr. Zhao, all the cases handled have been recorded, and we can hand them over to His Majesty's Dragon Case together."

These officials all knew that if Zhao Zheng wanted to take care of this matter, how much backlash would be caused, so they began to give advice one after another, and some people came up with other ways to speak quickly.

Grain chief, people from various places with certain culture and well-off family background.

All gathered together to deal with it...

Even if Zhao Zheng comes from the Zhao Mansion, they feel that Zhao Zheng cannot stop this backlash.

Even the Zhao family may be implicated.

Because this group of people gathered together, there was a special collective name in later generations called - the real masters of the dynasty era.

"Colleagues, do you know why this frost disaster happened except for God's good will?"

Zhao Zheng shook his head, looked at the group of officials in front of him who were thinking about himself, and smiled lightly.

"Except for God, why don't you do good things?"

After hearing Zhao Zheng's words, the officials at the scene immediately thought of the same answer.

Apart from God’s fault, wouldn’t it be a human-made disaster?

"The villagers all make a living by farming. In other words, they grow out of the soil, just like those rice ears."

"Colleagues, do you think they don't know the weight of the rice ear when they wield the sickle?"

"But why didn't we know that the frost disaster had occurred until the grain arrived in Taicang and when Jin Yiwei's knife pierced the bag of grain that was all empty shells?"

The large pot of rice porridge on the side was bubbling and gurgling.

The firewood used seemed to be what the officials were having fun with just now.

Because Zhao Zheng's question was like a flame, beating brightly there.

Why did this problem come to light only after Jin Yiwei stabbed open the grain bag?

Because the people dare not speak out, they are afraid that after speaking out, the grain chief will still ask them to pay enough taxes and grains in order to evade their responsibilities.

It was the only ration they had left.

As for why the grain director who should have discovered this problem didn't.

Someone must have discovered it.

There are definitely people who are still doing their jobs.

There must be some people who still have a conscience.

But the fact is here, these officials have not received relevant reports, and the court has not received any news.

So who are the remaining grain chiefs?
