By the way, the food supply was always in poor condition'), At the beginning of the 18th century, the government began to energetically take care of the people's food supply, and from 1740 decree after decree began to be issued, establishing various regulations. for the people, food; These decrees were carried out by regional rulers - governors and governors, in whose hands the entire food supply was concentrated. These arrangements were of two types: a) arrangement of spare food stores and b) selection. a certain amount of bread from persons sufficient for its distribution on loan to the poor, a) Bread reserve stores: initially established. were in 1790 in the following cities: in Nizhny, Orel, Gzhati, Smolensk, Bransk and some others °); Decree 20 Jan. 1724 also ordered the establishment of shops: in St. Petersburg6, in Riga, on the Don, in Dn5prf or Desnv, in Smodensk: and in Astrakhan. °). But you can think that. These shops were established. not in: all cities, because Catherine II ordered in 1762 to establish shops according to. to all the cities, “so that the grain would always be in my hands.”).

Under Peter V, more significant food stores were under the supervision of special officials. - Provantmeisters, menfe’ significant, - under the VDF, zemstvo treasurers, the rulers were ordered: in 1723, - to send reports to Kamer-Kollegno about the harvest and about the yield of grain, - from nearby governors and provinces, every month, from distant ones - every month '); in 1729, governors were ordered to submit monthly reports on grain taxes to the government office. 2); In 136 the provincial and provincial chancellors were ordered to send annual reports on the harvest; in 1960, put in. Senate annual reports about the harvest of grain and herbs and all sorts of things - about the prices for grain, food and honey *). The inhabitants, when paying taxes for the second half of the year, had to inform the government and voivodeship offices about the harvest “for the usual earthen product, how much of it there is in the entire state per year, 5).” Finally, back in 4913, governors and voivodes were ordered to ensure that healthy cattle were slaughtered and that bad meat was not sold. e. Busy with its own fiscal interests, the government of the 17th century did not pay much attention to people's health: all its concern was limited to the instructions to regional rulers to take measures against the pestilence. In what condition? there was a meditative part at the beginning of the reign of Peter V, the following primaphery is sufficiently shown: in 1699, the boyar Peter Petrovich Saltykov, calling his man, Alyoshka Kamensky, to the mansion, ordered him to bring medicine for sleep. Alyoshka went to the green row and bought aryana there for three money, and having brought it, he added such a strong dose to his boyar in a crystal glass that he fell asleep and never woke up. Almost at the same time, the doctor Mishka Tulenshchikov gave another doctor, Andrei Kharitonov, a photo of cancerous grains, with drunken eyes. P.S.
