Bi Ziyan thought for a while and said: "If it is called agricultural bonds, I am afraid that it will cause panic among the farmers below, thinking that the government cannot afford to buy cheap grain.
Maybe some unscrupulous merchants will accumulate it, causing a shock in grain prices.
Let’s call it an education bond.”
Zhu Youxiao said: "When you said this, I thought of a question, which is about accumulating grain.
Don't we have a lot of surplus grain now?
It's just a matter of grain.
A large part depends on the weather.
Accumulating high fields Although the output will increase, extreme weather will still reduce the harvest or even eliminate it.
The food situation is very good now, but if there is a problem in the future, it may make those profiteers have some undue thoughts.
How to solve this problem?
good" Bi Ziyan said: "Strict criminal law, arrest those profiteers one by one, let them know the consequences of doing this, let's see who else dares to do this."
Ye Xianggao said: "We don't have a rule against hoarding grain, unless we modify the Ming Law."
Fang Congzhe said: "Even if we modify it, it won't have any effect.
Can we still stipulate the amount of food that everyone can accumulate when there is a food shortage?
This is difficult to check."
Xu Guangqi said: "Yes, the landlords cherish the grain and do not sell it.
This cannot be considered a mistake, let alone a crime.
I think that we must start from two aspects.
First, we must ensure that there is enough grain in the warehouse, even potato flour."
Yes, in times of famine, This thing is indeed very useful.
The two are transportation problems.
Generally speaking, when there is a famine, it is not that there is no food in the whole country.
Some places starve to death, and some places are rich in specialties, so as long as they are adjusted well, it is.
It’s not easy for a famine to happen.”
Sun Chuanting said: "Master Xu's words are reasonable.
When a famine occurs, open warehouses to store grain, and then urgently mobilize it from places with abundant food.
In fact, there will not be a big famine.
But one thing is very important, and that is to ensure that there is indeed enough food in the warehouse. grain" Zhu Youxiao heard some meaning and said: "Aren't the official warehouses everywhere full?
Sun Qing means that the report does not match the report."
All the ministers were silent.
After a long time, Sun Chuanting gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, there is a proverb in the officialdom: it is better to be a prostitute than to be a prostitute.
It means that being a warehouse manager or a grain house manager is much better than being an official."
Zhu Youxiao looked at the ministers and said nothing.
Naturally, he knew that what Sun Chuanting said was true, and everyone had known it for a long time.
He suppressed his anger and said, "Sun Qing, please explain to me in detail."
As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Sun Chuanting had already thought about eradicating this cancer since he had revealed this matter.
Now when the emperor asked, he poured out everything he had heard and seen in order to attract the emperor's attention. , so as to find a stable solution.
It turns out that the most polite way for treasury officials is to misappropriate treasury money to lend money and earn interest.
The more ruthless people use various methods such as shoddy goods or even reporting losses and writing off the money and materials in the treasury by falsifying accounts.
However, local officials generally dare not touch them, because if they are forced to do so, not only will it be inconvenient for the officials to withdraw money from the local treasury, but the treasury officials may also blame the entire deficit on the prefecture and county officials through false accounts, and they themselves will Just walked away.
There was such an example in the Yuan Dynasty BC, and there was also such a case in Zhejiang during the Zhengde period.
Therefore, the later state and county magistrates had a habit of ignoring the actions of the Treasury officials, and once something happened to the Treasury officials, they would also We have to try to hide it from them and let them find ways to make up for the shortfall.
Some officials even colluded with them and benefited from them, hiding everything from the censor who came to inspect.
If the censor is too serious, he will be hated by everyone.
There have been complaints and even direct murders, which has also made some censors timid and often just perfunctory.

There were even more fishy things in the grain warehouse.
When the warehouses were vacated for grain, the grain books sold the good grain as moldy grain, and then used the inferior grain to buy it as good grain.
When the officials took over, there was still so much food, but the contents had changed.
Because the grain books in the warehouse were so lucrative, petty officials in many counties fought over them.
Many counties have the old practice of treasury, where one official takes turns in charge of two seasons.
Since all the officials see that it is a profitable job and everyone has to take care of it, some counties can only use public discussion to come up with a method of casting lots in the hall, and the main The officials didn't take it seriously and actually agreed with this approach.
When Zhu Youxiao heard this, his anger could no longer be suppressed.
He scolded Wei Zhongxian: "You manage the factory guards well, but you are bullied by these oil officials.
You have the nerve to always say that the control is very strict and the world is worry-free."
Wei Zhongxian knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is guilty.
Please punish me."
Sun Chuanting said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, many of the shortcomings in this are provided by the factory master.
The factory master is helpless, so he asks me to report it to your majesty."
Ye Xianggao said: "Your Majesty, the responsibility of the factory guards is not to manage the granaries.
They supervise the officials, not the officials, so the factory guards are not to blame."
Zhu Youxiao said angrily: "Why are you here to say that all illegal things in the world can be controlled by factory guards?
Wei Zhongxian, I will deduct half a year's salary from you to punish your mistakes."
Ye Xianggao secretly complained that the factory guards already had great power and authority, but now the emperor actually said that they were in charge of all the affairs of the world.
In this way, the factory guards would intervene in everything, which was not good for civil servants.
But he couldn't come up with a reason to object for the moment.
Wei Zhongxian naturally kowtowed and thanked him.
Zhu Youxiao continued: "The Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for setting up vertical management of warehouses and granaries in all states and counties in the world.
Before the restructuring, the Ministry of Household Affairs will clean up the warehouses and granaries of the world with the assistance of factory guards.
Isn't it clearly stipulated in the Ming Dynasty Law?
, embezzlement of more than 100 yuan can be sentenced to jail, and all family property will be confiscated.
According to the law, a nationwide warehouse rectification will be carried out.
During the entire process, the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Economic Investigation Bureau are responsible for supervising the household department and factory security. " All ministers received the decree together.
Now when the emperor does something, he no longer trusts an institution.
Even Wei Zhongxian's factory guard must be supervised by another institution at the same time.
He once said to Wei Zhongxian: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that there are many guards in your factory.
You can't guarantee that everyone will have no other ideas.
It is natural for people to be selfish.
We use means to suppress their greed and treat them It's also beneficial in itself.
You don't want to have people give you silk money all the time. " Wei Zhongxian understood the emperor's approach very well, and often even took the initiative to ask other agencies to supervise factory guards, such as the Six Subjects and Thirteen Paths, which he did not like.
As long as the suggestions were not nitpicking, he would readily accept them.
Therefore, the reputation of factory guards among civil servants is better than before.
However, the opposition of civil servants to the excessive power of factory guards comes from the struggle for power, which is unexplainable.
In the cabinet, only Sun Chuanting has a good relationship with Wei Zhongxian because he has cooperated many times, and Xu Guangqi is incompetent.
The other cabinet ministers are wary or even hostile to the factory guards
