When the mailing department was in the mailing department, Xu Ping was a little impatient and asked Wu Zunlu, who was in charge of the mailing department, and said, "Shangshu Xia hasn't come yet? If he doesn't come again, I think he won't wait for him. Let's discuss it first."

Wu Zunluo said: "I have sent someone to urge me. If I wait a little longer, I may be on the road."

Before he finished speaking, a public official came in and bowed to Wu Zunlu: "Shuo Jian, Shangshu Xia said that he was not feeling well today and would not come. If you have anything, please discuss with others. Just tell him when the time comes."

Wu Zunlu shook his head helplessly at Xu Ping: "Since Xia Shangshu is not feeling well, we have to discuss it."

Xia Shu didn't want to go to Shaanxi, so he could just drag for a moment. Being bitten by lice is a big disease. Today, he discussed the preliminary allocation of grain, rice and materials on Shaanxi Road. How could Xia Shu be nominally the highest commander of Shaanxi Road? As a result, Xia Shu delayed and did not come in the end. Anyway, he was a waste of time in Shaanxi, so he could do whatever others like.

Speaking of which, Xia Shun is not a person without ability, but if he is not on this, he will have no choice. When he was a local official, he did a great job in both the military and the people. He was also a regular deputy envoy for seven years. If he worked steadily until Shaanxi Road, he might not be unable to make any achievements. However, Xia Shun was determined to be the magistrate, and was sent to Shaanxi to disappoint him and became passively lazy.

Xia Feng did not come, Fan Yong was not in the capital, and Xu Ping was the biggest official. Holding back the anger in his heart, Xu Ping said to several people: "If Xia Shangshu doesn't come, then let's discuss it yourself. Just tell him the result."

Everyone sat down, and Xu Ping said to Zhang Cun, the transfer commissioner of Shaanxi Road, "Zhang Waijian manages the Shaanxi Road Caosi. You will know the money and grain there when you go there. Now let's talk about the major items of money-saving things there."

"First of all, in the past, Shaanxi Road transported 500,000 shi of grain and millet to the two capitals every year, but this grain and millet were still collected. However, the grain and millet collected are still there, and are now stored in several major prefectures of Shaanxi Road, mainly in Hezhong Prefecture, Huazhou, Yongxing Jun and Fengxiang Prefecture. Over the years, there are now about two million shi. In the northwest, the money and grain are used first. After this year, the grain and rice from other roads will be transported to the next year. Yongxing Jun Road is located in Guanzhong, with a fertile soil of thousands of miles and no shortage of grain and rice, and there is no need to use these savings. How do you distribute the other four routes? What do you think?"

Zhang Cun looked at Wu Zunlu, then at Han Zong, who was in charge of Qiaodaosi, and said to Xu Ping: "What did the Minister plan?"

"Although all territories are of large sizes, they are located along the border. Either a large army or newly moved people need to use food. To avoid too much or too little, I think it's better to let the four territories be divided equally?"

If he had the final say, Xu Ping would definitely transfer most of it to Qinfeng Road, not because he was there, but because other routes were convenient to transport from the inner gate. With Luoyang as the center, the first supply of grain to the northwest was those three routes. Whether it was roads or other infrastructure, the transportation network centered on Luoyang was incomparable to other routes. But now Shaanxi Road is divided into three parts. In order to prevent others from making any comments, they can only divide it equally, so as not to have problems when they get them, which will lead to insufficient grain and rice, and blame them on themselves. If they don’t hold the power, they can only compromise with others like this.

Zhang Cun understood Xu Ping's meaning. Qinzhou was alone on the right side of Longshan, and he needed to store grain and grass the most. However, among the three border commanders, Xu Ping had the least qualifications and the youngest, so he could not help but suffer such grievances.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Cun said, "Then, the Transport Authority set aside 500,000 stones as a reserve to prepare for emergencies, and the rest will be divided equally by four routes. No matter which accident occurs, there will be these 500,000 stones to rescue the emergency so that the major problems will not be missed."

"Okay, that's it. The Transportation Office should have emergency food in its hands, which is reasonable!"

Since he was in Yongzhou, Xu Ping has worked with Zhang Cun. At that time, he was still his boss. After so many years of friendship, the relationship between the two is naturally closer than others. Qinzhou really encountered difficulties, so he would definitely help him.

In addition to the nearly two million stones of grain, there were also a lot of silk and silk stored on Shaanxi Road. Although this thing cannot be used as money, it can still be used for trade with the surrounding Fanhu. A lot of them were concentrated along the borders of Shaanxi and several surrounding roads. When using troops on the border, these hard currency is better than paper money, and according to the principle of equal division, they are also divided.

These stored materials were specially reserved by Xu Ping when he was in the Third Division in order to use the military service to the Dangxiang in the future. After years of accumulation, the amount was extremely considerable and could basically last for more than a year.

After talking about the money-saving goods on Shaanxi Road, Xu Ping said: "The money-saving goods on Shaanxi Road can last for about a year and years of savings, but this is the case. Except for Guanzhong, Shaanxi has poor land and poor people, so it is really impossible to plunder too much. Otherwise, local words will arouse local civil unrest and not be fooled. When using troops in the front, it is most taboo to be unstable in the rear. You should pay special attention to this matter."

Zhang Cun nodded and said, "So, the military and civilians who enter Shaanxi should transport the grain and rice as much as possible from outside the country, and should not be plundered locally. Today, I would like to invite Wu Waizhi and Han Tiju to come over, which is exactly the meaning."

Xu Ping said: "Let me talk about Qiaodaosi first. The roads that were renovated to Shaanxi two years ago, and now they are basically completed. But these roads have not been used yet. It is still hard to say whether so many vehicles and pedestrians can be brought in in one go. The bridgedaosi will send a special person to contact Shaanxi Road. Wherever there is a problem or congestion on the road, it must be solved at any time. As the saying goes, military situation is like fire, and it cannot be delayed at all. Han Tiju, you must remember it."

Han Zong Yingnuo. He is Xu Ping's old subordinate, and he cooperates tacitly, and his methods of doing things were taught by Xu Ping, which is more reliable than any other official. In response to the transportation to Shaanxi Road in order to deal with the war, the Bridge and Road Office has prepared a plan and has drawn effective personnel there. There is no big accident.

Xu Ping was trusting Han Zong, and said no more, and said to Wu Zunlu: "If it is absolutely necessary, the money and grain required by Shaanxi Road will no longer be relied on merchants to join the company, but the mailing department will take on the burden. The merchants are seeking profits and letting them join the company, most of them are afraid that they will still search for money, grain and materials from Shaanxi Road and carve out the people. The mailing department will send specialists, one with the Shaanxi Road Transportation Commission and the other with the Jingxi Road Transportation Commission to ensure the transportation of materials from Luoyang to Yongxingjun without any delays."

Wu Zunlu Yingnuo: "There are already people here in Xiaguan."

"Okay! Then there is the transportation network. Taking the post road between the two capitals as a benchmark, the mailing department will set up its own site for the horse-shop delivery shop. You are transporting goods, not living people, and you don't need to require the houses to be clean like the inn. The key is that the place is large enough. In these site, you should store grain, rice, meat and vegetables for people to eat as planned, and also have forage for horses to eat. The field business once planted alfalfa and stored it in large bales. In addition to the needs of the herds and cattle and sheep department, there is still a lot of surplus. You can store these pastures everywhere and use them at any time on the road. As the same goes for the words, let the field business and other pastures plant alfalfa and other pastures be planted, or let the households plant official harvest to press the bales, but do not collect grass from the people, so that the pastures will not cause turmoil."
