Regarding the matter of Marquis Lun's adoption of orphans, Wang Buxu was somewhat angry.

Although he knew that there was a high probability that this matter might have something to do with his mother.

But if other people follow the same example, it will be a big hidden danger for the court in the future.

What's more, I not only raised Marquis Lun, but I also sent you to study and raise him for the better.

On the contrary, if these orphans raised by Marquis Lun were just to help him farm and serve as domestic servants, Wang Buxu would be more relaxed.

Of course, what made Wang Buxu even more angry was that he didn't even know about this...

This is the biggest question. How many things does the scout not tell him?

Perhaps it was not for the sake of concealment, but maybe Peng Yue felt that the things Marquis Lun did as the emperor's false father were not excessive.

But looking at this issue from Wang Buxian's perspective is completely wrong.

Precisely because Marquis Lun is his false father, he should avoid suspicion in this matter. Didn't he give him enough?

After a short while, I got some time, and the scout Lun's captain ran over in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have not concealed anything about Marquis Lun's adoption of orphans..." Scout Lun's Colonel Zhang Yue hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over.

Wang Buxu calmly opened the paper and took a look at the content on it.

Wang Buxing doesn't know what Zhang Yue reported, and it wasn't written on this piece of paper.

But this piece of paper was a reply sent to him by the scout headquarters. The original text was: 'Observe closely the Marquis Lunshi's adoption of orphans, and be careful not to alarm others. If anything happens, report it immediately.'

There was no mention of his mother, and there was no further explanation. Everything seemed normal.

Why did the scout headquarters respond like this?

Wang Buxu probably knew that not many people knew about the fact that Marquis Lun was his fake father.

Even if Yang Yu was granted the title of Marquis of the Lun clan, it would be based on his contribution to agricultural reform, not his identity as a false father.

Although this identity has a certain effect more or less, at least Yang Yu himself can stand firm.

"Well, I understand this. Let's continue to carry out the orders of our headquarters!" Wang Buxu handed the letter back to Zhang Yue, and then waved his hand to indicate that everything was okay here.

It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to stop household chores, and now Wang Buxian has fully realized this.

Who is to blame?

Mother and Yang Yu may have good intentions.

The scouts didn't want to publicize this matter, so they didn't report it until the matter was under control.

However, regarding this matter, Wang Buxian decided to record it in a small notebook first before talking about it.

Although Marquis Lun's adoption of orphans is one thing, are there more things going on privately?

Of course, although the scouts were only responsible to the emperor, in actual operations, this was impossible.

Because as an emperor, I don't have enough time to understand everything.

As for the scout headquarters, in order not to affect the normal work and not delay too much, most of the time, related problems are directly transferred to the relevant departments for resolution.

For example, if a scout below reports that an official has a problem, then when the scout headquarters arrives, the problem will be transferred to the staff department, which will send officials or arrange for visiting intern officials to investigate the matter.

Simply put, it is to improve work efficiency.

But no matter what, there are certain doubts about this mode of Wang Bu Xing, so after returning to Luoyang, this is something that needs to be solved and improved.

After wandering around Lunshi County for a while, Wang Buxuan suddenly stopped, turned to look at Zhang Buyi, and said, "Buyi, have you found a problem?"

"What's the problem?" Zhang Buyi scratched his head, looked around and asked, "Lun's family seems to be more prosperous than the surrounding areas?"

Lunshi is indeed more prosperous than the counties they passed through before. You can see vendors of all sizes here, and there are many types of goods.

Even there are relatively more people on the street.

Lunshi County is not a populous county among Yingchuan County, and its geographical location is not the best. It is at the junction with Sanchuan County, and there are some mountains around it, although not many.

But from a sensory perspective, Lunshi County is better than the counties of similar size in Sanchuan County across the street.

"Isn't that the case? Haven't you noticed that most people go out on the streets with a few dollars and often don't know how to spend it?" Wang Buxu asked directly.

"How come? I only buy a jun of grain, a few feet of cloth, and even three or four taels of salt at most. How come I don't know how to spend it?" Zhang Buyi racked his brains.

Thinking about Wang Bu's hunger problem, I felt a little unreasonable.

My family doesn't even have a large population, but every time I go shopping, I have to spend tens of dollars to start with. If I need to make clothes or something, it will be even more.

It’s just daily life, how can you say you don’t know how to spend the money?

"Look, when we were first in Luoyang, we bought thirty steamed buns for one penny. Now in Lunshi, we can buy almost three kilograms of bean sprouts for one penny, right?"

"Let's just talk about these steamed buns. If someone is tired and hungry from walking, and wants to buy a few steamed buns to fill his stomach, but only thirty for one price, what should he do?"

"Besides, we originally bought some bean sprouts to taste, but we ended up buying about three kilograms for just one penny."

"But we simply can't eat so much, but we have to buy so much. I just observed it again and found that this situation is not rare. This situation exists in more than 80% of the stalls and shops on the entire street." Wang Buxian

He said with a solemn expression.

"Um...it seems like this..." Zhang Buyi scratched his head awkwardly. When he bought the steamed buns, he bought them as a group at the construction site, so even if one person paid for it at a time, he would take it back and share it with everyone.

You can guarantee that what you eat every day will be freshly baked.

Is it possible that everyone needs to form a group to buy a bean snack?

Will you count them one by one after you go back?

One for you, one for me, and one for him?

If that were the case, I would probably stop doing anything for most of the day and just squat on the floor and count beans.

"How about casting smaller copper coins?" Zhang Buyi asked tentatively.

Wang Buxu thought about this problem seriously. This was indeed a solution, but the current copper coins were light enough. If they were shrinking, it would not be cost-effective.

Why do you say that?

The main reason why the court is short of money now is nothing else. In the era of metal currency, the concept of inflation was not particularly obvious. After all, it was all real money, and everyone still recognized it, as long as they didn't mess around.

But now the output of mining is limited, and even if it continues to expand, there is still no qualitative change in the annual output growth.

Due to the limitations of raw materials, this also leads to the following problem.

If you want to make copper coins with smaller denominations, the ideal thing is of course to buy ten small coins directly. In this way, one small coin can be converted into three steamed buns and four taels and eight coins (one pound of sixteen taels, three pounds of forty-eight taels) of beans. This is

It's completely acceptable.

Then people will not have to worry about how to spend the money.

Saying one thousand to ten thousand is the inevitable result of the shortage of coins, which made money more valuable than imagined, and the imperial court's strong control of prices.

But then again, if this is done, the amount of copper used must not exceed the weight of one copper coin.

Resources are already scarce, so more copper is used just to make a small amount of money. What's the point?

Putting aside the convenience of market circulation, the court must now consider the issue of raw materials.

Nowadays, the weight of a copper coin is between four and five grams, so how much should a copper coin weigh?

If this was made, it would probably be crushed into a ball before it was even used, right?
