"Immediately send this letter to the Divine Capital for three hundred miles."

Li Xuan walked out of the study and handed out a sealed letter.

Qiu Zhenmu, who had been waiting outside for a long time, quickly took it, and then went to look for Yicheng with a serious face.

In addition to receiving officials who come and go, the post station is also responsible for the delivery of letters.

At this moment, Wang Bo, who was wearing a cyan water ripple robe, happened to come over from the opposite side, and Qiu Zhenmu just said hello to him and left the small courtyard.

"Sir!" Li Xuan's expression suddenly eased a lot, and he asked Wang Bo kindly, "Is everything in order?"

"Okay!" Wang Bo nodded very calmly, he was from a wealthy family, and although the building in front of him was luxurious, he was not taken into account.

The post station building is divided into different levels of buildings, and Yangzhou Station is even more comprehensive.

Li Xuan lives in a second-class mansion second only to the prince, for the royal family, and the third grade or more *** live.

Others, even if they are children of a family with five surnames, can only live in a first-class house with four grades. Z.br>

This must not be overrun, otherwise it will be overstepped if you are not careful.

The last person who was exiled to death was Li Yifu, and the crime involved was to ask the warlock to look at the qi,

"I don't know what the result of the prince's visit to Dou Changshi was?" Wang Bo asked with some concern.

Wang Bo was willing to go to Wuzhou with Li Xuan this time, mainly because of the persuasion of the crown prince Li Xian.

After the incident of Hongnong, although Wang Bo was afraid of his official career like a tiger, Li Xian's persuasion again and again still made him a little moved.

In addition, Li Xian is now promoted to the crown prince, which makes him worry a lot less.

Even so, Wang Bo was reluctant to serve in Chang'an and Luoyang anymore.

The central wave is particularly large.

After Li Xian proposed to let him go south with Li Xuan, Wang Bo hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.

Li Xuan is the king of Nanchang, and if Wang Bo wants to go to Jiaozhi, Nanchang is a must-pass place.

Along the way, Li Xuan only let Yu Ze and Wang Bo talk about the world and play chess, and the others rarely had contact with Wang Bo.

However, in the future, he will always serve under Li Xuan, and Wang Bo still has to express his concern for Li Xuan's trip to the Yangzhou Governor's Office.

"Sir, please come in!" Li Xuan slightly opened the door of the study, let Wang Bo into the room, and said at the same time: "I am waiting to act in Yangzhou, Dou Changshi promised that the Governor's Mansion would not interfere and would help, but there are some things that are inconvenient for the Governor's Mansion to know."

Li Xuan, as a Wuzhou don't drive, in the case of the assassin Wang Fang's scales being severely injured, Li Xuan is equivalent to inspecting the Wuzhou assassin history, he has enough weight to deal with Dou Xuande and Duan Baoxuan.

Or rather, jumping sideways back and forth between the two.

As for which party to cooperate with in the end, it depends on who gives more benefits.

Duan Baoxuan has a force in his hand that is in the hands of the Zhichong Mansion, but the Yuezhou Governor's Mansion has six prefectures of Yue, Tai, Kuo, Wu, Quan, and Jian, and once there is a war, the number of troops that can be allocated to each state is very limited, not to mention that the division of troops has always been taboo on the battlefield.

Dou Xuande, as the governor of Yangzhou, has four troops in Zhichong Prefecture, even if a quarter is transferred, it is very useful for Wuzhou.

It's just that Yangzhou is far away from Wuzhou, and Yangzhou's troops have traveled a long distance to rush over, which is difficult to cover people's eyes and ears.

What's more, it also involves the issue of the scope of authority and responsibility.

The only good news is that Yangzhou, as the only metropolitan governor's office in the southeast, has a wide range of powers that are difficult to limit.

If you want to investigate it exhaustively, even the Yuezhou Governor's Mansion is under his jurisdiction.

Especially when it comes to rebellion and rebellion, the imperial power concession, everything in the southeast.

It was because of this that Fang Renyu rushed to Wuzhou to quell the turmoil, and then rose all the way.

However, now that the imperial court is increasingly diluting the power of the governor's office, it is difficult for him to meddle in other places except for controlling the government soldiers, local assassins, and some religious affairs.

Unless the Tianyin Sect officially raises troops again, it will be very troublesome to be involved in the middle.

Li Xuan, as a Wuzhou driver, was heavily injured by the assassin Wang Fanglan, if he refused strongly, no one from the other parties would want to enter

Wuzhou, this is his hole card.

However, the main altar of the Tianyin Sect is located in the depths of the mountains, and there is not only one state in Wuzhou around, and there is not only one place where others can stretch out their hands, which is his disadvantage.

Li Xuan is weighing repeatedly, and Dou Xuande is not weighing repeatedly.

No one understands whom, how can it be easy to make a decision now.

Wang Bo didn't think deeply about the entanglements in this, he is a very simple person, although he has gone through twists and turns over the years, he thinks he has seen through a lot of things, but in Li Xuan's opinion, he is still very immature.

Even if he is nearly ten years older than Li Xuan, in Li Xuan's eyes, he is still simple and terrifying.

"Is this a report for the prince?" Wang Bo's eyes fell on the table, on which there were several pieces of paper, written about the bad money in Yangzhou.

Li Xuan walked up from behind, his eyes falling on the papers.

When he was writing the report just now, he discussed a lot with Yu Ze, deliberated repeatedly, and wrote several manuscripts in a row, but Wang Bo came too quickly, and he didn't have time to burn all these things.

"Yes, sir." Li Xuan replied naturally, and at the same time handed the few to Wang Bo, and said, "Today in Yangzhou City, Xiao Wang encountered a strange thing, a meat butcher said that the copper money he collected was bad money, and the other neighbors were incredulous, because it was difficult to distinguish what was evil money and what was real money."

As he spoke, Li Xuan took out two Kaiyuan Tongbao that looked exactly the same in the future, and they were both very delicate.

"The other three have all been sent to the Divine Capital, and there are only two left, one true and one false. Sir, tell the ......."

"This one is fake, this one is real." Wang Bo could tell the authenticity of the two copper coins almost instantly, and there was no mistake at all.

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, but in a blink of an eye, he figured out the reason, and suddenly said: "It's by words, how did I forget, just thinking about using salt water to distinguish the authenticity of copper coins, but I forgot to start from words."

"Can salt water tell the difference between a copper coin and a fake?" Wang Bo's face was full of surprise, he picked up two copper coins, and did not understand how to distinguish the real from the fake copper coins through salt water.

"These two copper coins, although they look very similar, but in terms of weight, there is still a big difference, a perennial meat butcher, can rely on the feel, to distinguish the real and fake copper coins, so as long as you use skillful hands, you can still distinguish the real and fake copper coins."

As he spoke, Li Xuan picked up the wooden basin that had been placed on the ground before, placed it on the table, and then placed it flat on the water.

At first, both copper coins floated above the water, but after only three or five breaths, one of them quickly fell into the water.

Another copper coin also began to move towards the water at this time, but it fell much more slowly.

"The one that falls fast is bad money, and the one that falls slowly is naturally real money." Wang Bo quickly understood, and at the same time said, "Cao Chong called the elephant."

"That's true." Li Xuan nodded and said, "Sir, you must have experienced the matter of sealing the Spring Treasure."

Wang Bo's face quickly sank, and he nodded heavily: "That is indeed a disaster."

Starting from Emperor Taizong to Gaozong Li Zhi, for many years, the Tang Dynasty has been waging foreign wars.

Although the taxes of the imperial court were still able to support the expenses of the war, these taxes were all from looting the people's fat and ointment, and coupled with the increasingly serious land annexation, the annual taxes were visibly reduced.

In this case, I don't know who came up with a bad idea, which caused the proportion of copper to be less and less in the Kaiyuan Tongbao minted by the imperial court every year.

Through this method, the imperial court began to loot the people's fat and ointment, but it was also because of this that the theft of the people's casting also began to occur on a large scale.

The earliest Kaiyuan Tongbao made by the imperial court was not only exquisitely made, but also the proportion of copper was very sufficient, but now the proportion of copper began to decrease rapidly, resulting in the threshold for making copper coins was also rapidly reduced, and a large amount of bad money soon appeared among the people.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhi was forced to order the collection of bad money.

Buy bad money with good money and five money, but the people hate the low price of money, and hide it in their homes.

Unwilling to exchange with the imperial court.

Soon, the imperial court was forced to change the edict and buy bad money for one penny for good money, but there were still few responders.

In desperation, in the first year of Qianfeng, the emperor minted new money, and the inscription "Qianfeng Quanbao" circulated in parallel with the old money Kaiyuan Tongbao, but after a year, all the old money was invalidated.

The weight of the new money is about the same as the old money, but the legal exchange rate is one to ten, which is a typical virtual money.

At this time, the large-scale casting of exquisite dry seal spring treasures appeared on the market, and then exchanged the old money in the hands of the people.

For a time, the people's family property shrank rapidly.

"It is all the same amount of copper, and the private workshop uses a higher exchange ratio than the imperial court to exchange the old money, and then melts the old money to cast new money, which naturally makes a lot of profits.

Li Xuan shook his head, he was quite unimpressed by Li Zhi's approach.

Because in this way, it is the ordinary people who are damaged from beginning to end, so why bother.

Wang Bo was still in Chang'an at that time, and he served as the editor of Li Xianfu, the king of Pei, and witnessed everything with his own eyes.

Knowing that it was a big defeat of the imperial court, I feel quite emotional when I think about it now.

He spread out the two copper coins and placed them on the palm of his hand, frowned and said, "Right now, these two copper coins are extremely similar, and this character does not seem to be imitated, it is like directly using real money to cast evil money, or directly getting the mold of the young eunuch......

The mold, in a word, the expressions of everyone present couldn't help but change.

The look is different.
