Don't talk about anything else for the time being, just talk about the emperor's cards, which are still quite powerful.

When Wang Buxing moved out of his cards, the Ma family was instantly convinced.

They are all ordinary people living at the grassroots level, and the emperor has sent someone to apologize to you.

At this time, if you don't give face and continue to embarrass other people's mothers and children, you will be shameless.

Besides, no matter what happens between them, the child is still your family's seed.

Although there is no DNA testing technology in these years, since the emperor said that it is your family, it is your family's, and it must not be.

It is not difficult to solve Ma Biao's matter, and the moment Wang Buxing decides to make a move, it is destined that this matter will be easily solved.

But the hard part is how to solve other similar things?

Next, Wang Buxing has been thinking about this problem.

And then the county has come full circle, which has only begun to increase its development efforts in recent years.

Due to constraints, although development has been underway for several years, progress is still somewhat slow.

For the people living here, it is not much different from living in their hometown.

What it was like when you were in your hometown, it's what it looks like here.

The only difference is that the walls of every house are made stronger and more durable, and the walls are erected.

Because of the many walled walls, in these newly developed counties, a unique style has been formed, and most of them are named villages.

For example, Wang Zhai, Sun Zhai, Zhang Zhai, Li Zhai or something.

The purpose of this is naturally to prevent some animals in the vicinity, and these people are almost organized to hunt around at other times except for normal production and life.

While subsidizing the family, it is also necessary to clean up the surrounding beasts and improve the living environment.

Seeing this, Wang Bu was not hungry and lost interest in continuing to turn around.

So far, he is quite satisfied with the overall situation.

There may be problems, but no one is an immortal, and it is impossible not to make any mistakes.

As long as it is not a mistake of principle, as long as it can be discovered and corrected in time.

The history of human development is actually a history of human self-correction.

At this point, Wang Bu is not hungry, and he is still very open-minded.

When I returned to Luoyang, it was already a month later.

The sun was in the sky, the sun was scorching, and there were droughts of varying degrees everywhere.

However, the degree of drought is not serious, and with the laying of water conservancy facilities, it is basically possible to ensure the cultivation of water sources if you save a little money.

"Your Majesty, there have been different degrees of drought in various places recently, so the next harvest will definitely be affected to a certain extent, but the impact is not great, and it will not have much impact on the people and the court, but this year's income of the court may be lower than last year, how much less will it be, and it depends on the development of the drought!" Zhang Cang, the head of the household department, was the first to report directly.

The household department is in charge of money and food, and as the most sloppy person in the entire imperial court, Zhang Cang will certainly not let go of this opportunity.

Ahem......

Mainly under Zhang Cang's operation, now the imperial court is playing another routine.

There is not enough money, and food will make up.

Therefore, most of the officials in the DPRK and China paid for one-third of the money and two-thirds of the grain.

Although everyone is reluctant, but there is no way.

The most worthless thing in these years is grain, and after several years of bumper harvests, the Han people are full of grain.

If it weren't for the imperial court's stubborn suppression of prices and refusal to let go, grain prices in the market would still continue to fall.

And now, there are basically only a few grain merchants left in the city, and the business in front of the door is still very bleak, and it is estimated that even the labor cannot support it.

Therefore, Zhang Cang said this, his main purpose is to tell the emperor to take it easy, next year's budget will be reduced......

"I have come back all the way and seen that although the amount of water in the river has decreased, all localities have also taken control measures, and strict restrictions have been made on the water use of each household, and the reduction in production is certain, but the impact will not be too great!" Wang Bu said bluntly.

Of course, he knows this, and the so-called impact is nothing more than controlling water consumption.

Originally, it was possible to paddle directly with a scoop of water, but now it has been changed to the original watering method, which is to water one plant by one with a little water.

The impact will indeed be there, but it really does not mean that the output will be cut by half or the grain will not be harvested.

Don't look at the simple water conservancy facilities built by the imperial court, in fact, in the past few years, the grain of the Han Dynasty has been able to harvest every year, relying on this set of very inconspicuous and cheap facilities.

The cultivated land is also divided into paddy fields and dry fields, and the paddy fields here are different from the paddy fields of later generations, and the water here refers to the meaning that it is relatively close to the water source, or it is close to the water source, and the water can penetrate here through the ground, changing the moist environment underground.

But now, the distinction between paddy and dry fields is not so obvious.

The canal was directly erected to the ground, and the biggest headache in the past was to run a long way to get water, and the time was wasted on getting water.

Now you can get water from your own land, so that in one day, it is no problem for a man in the prime of life to water three or five acres of land.

Even a half-grown child can work an acre of land a day.

"Your Majesty......" Zhang Cang looked at Wang Bu with a melancholy face.

As soon as he said this, Zhang Cang knew what Wang was not hungry, obviously seeing through his own thoughts and giving an excuse to block himself.

"I found a few problems when I went out this time, since Zhang Shangshu is so anxious, let's solve Zhang Shangshu's problem first!" Wang Bu was not hungry and did not talk much on this issue.

casually glanced at Zhang Cang, who was still confused, and continued: "I found that the current monetary system has some flaws, and copper coins are so valuable that ordinary people don't know how to spend them when they go out with a penny? Even in Luoyang, you can buy thirty steamed buns with one penny, who can eat so much in one go? ”

————

"So although this currency reform is convenient, but in terms of use, there is also a great inconvenience at present, so I decided to add a new kind of money, ten of which is equal to the face value of a copper coin, about the selection of materials, I don't plan to continue to use copper, I am more inclined to use iron, this thing is not low in production, it is not easy to deform, it is also wear-resistant, it is very convenient to use, but iron is easy to rust when it meets water, so now, you all want to find a way to see how to solve the problem of iron rusting when it meets water."

"If it really doesn't work, I'm looking for a new metal, and the requirements are three points, the output is large enough, the material is hard, and it can't rust."

"Good...... Your Majesty, this method is good......" Zhang Cang suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, this is really a good way.

Not to mention anything else, the newly added money can make the household happy.

Of course, the imperial court was poor, not because the minting speed of copper coins could not keep up, but because the output of copper could not keep up.

Although the weapons were recovered to smelt and mint coins, the entire Han Dynasty was so big and there were so many people, it was simply not enough.
