Chapter 531: This Problem Must Be Investigated
Regarding the adoption of orphans by the Marquis of the Lun family, Wang Bu was still a little 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 do the same, it will be a big hidden danger for the imperial court in the future.
What's more, I not only raised the Lun family, but I also sent you to study, and raised it in the good way.
On the other hand, if these orphans raised by the Marquis of the Lun clan were just to help him farm and become domestic servants or something, the king would be more relaxed instead of hungry.
Of course, what made Wang Buxing even more angry was that he didn't know about it......
That's the big question, how much more did the scout not tell him?
Maybe it's not to hide it for the sake of concealment, maybe Peng Yue feels that the Marquis of Lun, as the emperor's false father, has done these things not excessively.
But it is a big mistake to look at this problem from the perspective of Wang Buying.
It is precisely because the Marquis of the Lun clan is his false father that he should avoid suspicion in this matter, didn't he give him enough money?
It didn't take long to get the effort, and the scout Captain Lun ran over in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing to hide from the subordinates of the Marquis of the Lun clan who adopted the orphans...... "Scout Lun's captain Zhang Yue hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his cuff and handed it over.
Wang Buxing calmly opened the paper and looked at the contents on it.
Zhang Yue reported what Wang was not hungry and did not know, and it was not written on this piece of paper.
But this piece of paper was a reply sent to him by the Scout Headquarters, which read: 'Closely observe the adoption of orphans by the Marquis of the Lun clan, do not alarm others, and report any incident immediately. ’
There was no mention of his mother, nothing more to explain, everything seemed normal.
Why did the Scout Headquarters reply like that?
Wang Bu is not hungry and probably knows in his heart that not many people know that the Marquis of Lun is his false father.
Even if it was given to Yang Yu to seal the Lun family, it was his contribution to agricultural reform, not his identity as a false father.
Although this identity has a more or less certain role, at least Yang Yu himself is standing.
"Well, I know about this, continue to carry out the orders of the headquarters!" Wang Buxing handed the letterhead back to Zhang Yue, and then waved his hand, signaling that it was okay here.
It is said that it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, and now Wang is not hungry and has thoroughly realized it.
Who is to blame?
Mother and Yang Yu may have been doing it for some kindness.
The scout didn't want to make a fuss about it, so he didn't report it for the time being when things were under control.
However, on this matter, Wang Buxing still decided to record it in a small notebook first.
Although the adoption of orphans by the Marquis of the Lun clan is one thing, will there be more things in private?
Of course, although the scout is only responsible to the emperor, when it comes to actual operation, this cannot be done.
Because as an emperor, I don't have enough time to understand one by one.
In order not to affect the normal work, the scout headquarters did not delay too much, so most of the time, the relevant problems were directly transferred to the relevant departments to be solved.
For example, if the scout below reports that an official has a problem, then when he arrives at the scout headquarters, the problem will be forwarded to the official department, and the official department will send an official or arrange a visiting intern official to investigate the matter.
To put it simply, it's about improving work efficiency.
But in any case, there are certain doubts about this model Wang is not hungry, so after returning to Luoyang, this is a matter that needs to be solved.
After walking around Lunshi County for a while, Wang Buxing suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Zhang Buyi, and said, "Noyi, have you found a problem?" ”
"What's the problem?" Zhang Buyi scratched his head, looked around and wondered: "The Lun family seems to be more prosperous than the surrounding area?" ”
It is true that the Lun clan is more prosperous than the county they passed through before, and you can see large and small vendors here, and there is a wide variety of goods.
Even the people on the street are slightly more numerous.
Lunshi County is not a large population county in Yingchuan County, and the geographical location is not the best, it is the border with Sanchuan County, and there are some mountains around, although there are not many.
But in terms of senses, Lunshi County is even better than the similarly sized county of Sanchuan County opposite.
"Aren't these, haven't you noticed that most people take a penny to the street, and many times they don't know how to spend it?" Wang Bu asked directly.
"How? I just buy a pound of grain, a few feet of cloth, even if it is salt, I only buy three or four taels at most, why don't you know how to spend it? Zhang Buyi racked his brains to think about the question of Wang Buying, and felt that there was no reason.
The population of my family is not large, but every time I go out to buy, I have to spend dozens of dollars to start, and if I have to make clothes or something, it will be more.
It's just a daily life, how can you say that you don't know how to spend a penny?
"You see, when we were in Luoyang at the earliest, we bought thirty steamed buns for one penny, and now when we go to Lun's, we have to buy almost three catties of steamed buns for one penny, right?"
"Let's just say this steamed bun, if someone is tired and hungry, and wants to buy a few steamed buns to fill their stomachs, but there are thirty for one dollar, what should he do?"
"Besides, this bean, we originally wanted to buy some to taste the taste, but we ended up buying about three catties for one penny."
"But we can't eat so much at all, but we have to buy so much, I just observed again, this situation is not a minority, the entire street, more than eighty percent of the stalls and shops have this situation." Wang Bu said with a solemn face.
"Uh...... It seems to be like this......" Zhang Buyi scratched his head in embarrassment, when he bought steamed buns, he bought them in a group on the construction site, so even if it was a person who paid for it, he took it back and distributed it to everyone to eat, so that he could ensure that what he ate every day in the future was freshly baked.
Is it difficult to buy a soybean snack and have to form a group?
Count them one by one when you go back?
One of you, one for me, one for him?
If that's the case, I guess I won't do anything for most of the day, and I'll squat on the ground and count the beans to play.
"Do you want a smaller copper coin at the minting point?" Zhang Buyi said tentatively.
Wang Buxing thought about this problem seriously, this is indeed a solution, but the current copper coins are light enough, if they are shrinking, it will not be cost-effective.
Why?
Now the main reason for the lack of money in the imperial court is nothing else, in the era of metal currency, the concept of inflation is not particularly obvious, after all, it is all real money, everyone still recognizes, as long as it does not mess around.
However, the current mining output is limited, and even if it continues to expand, the annual output growth rate still does not change qualitatively.
Due to the constraints of raw materials, this is the next problem.
If you want to make a smaller face value of copper coins, the ideal is of course to come directly to ten small coins, so that it can be converted into three steamed buns for a small coin, and beans for four taels and eight coins (one catty of sixteen taels, three catties and forty-eight taels), which is completely acceptable.
At that time, the people will not have to worry about not knowing how to spend the money.
It is said that 1,000 to 10,000 is because of the shortage of coins, which leads to the inevitable result of money being more valuable than imagined, and the imperial court is strongly controlling prices.
But then again, if this were to be done, the amount of copper would have to be no more than the weight of a copper coin.
Resources are already scarce, and more copper is used in order to make a small amount of money, so what's the picture?
Not to mention for the time being, in order to facilitate market circulation or anything, now the imperial court must consider the issue of raw materials.
And now that a copper coin weighs between four and five grams, how much should a copper coin weigh?
If this is made, it is estimated that it will be kneaded into a ball before it is used, right?
Well, that's a question, and we have to look into it......
