The astronomical fever in Luoyang City was aroused, and even the ordinary people of Luoyang City were talking about it. The book "Astronomy" compiled and distributed by Qin Tianjian gradually spread in Luoyang City.

The common people discussed the sun, the earth, and the moon with great interest, but the Confucian mood was not so good.

The imperial court promoted astronomy, not only accelerated the development of astronomy, solved the problem of celestial and human induction, but also played a role in promoting the development of science and technology, the development and application of mathematics will promote the development of society, and the emergence of astronomy also made many people begin to explore the laws of heaven and earth.

For example, the previous catty system changed from hexadecimal to decimal.

Wang Xin inadvertently used astronomy to attack the theory of celestial and human induction, and opened the second exploration of natural science, and this time the exploration was larger than the first one in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The sky is getting dark, the lights are on, and it is already lively outside the Zhengyang Gate. Since the imperial court opened the curfew, Luoyang City has almost become a city that never sleeps.

After decades of war, the city of Luoyang became very prosperous, and now there are a large number of people living outside the city. A large number of merchants, nobles, and officials supported the consumption of Luoyang City.

Although the royal family does not like luxury and has always been frugal, they have never let the people below do the same. Even the nobles, merchants, and powerful people were encouraged to spend money.

The extravagance of the social atmosphere is not a big problem, these nobles, merchants, and powerful people all have money, and it is better to let them spend their money and enjoy it than to let them keep their money in the cellar and get moldy.

If frugality is promoted, those nobles, nobles, and merchants save all their money, and it is very likely that it will be, and if it is wrong, it will definitely cause a shortage of coins.

In this era, the nobles, the powerful, and the merchants possess a lot of resources, and as long as the coins are circulated, they will naturally flow into their hands in the end, and if they don't spend money, there will be a shortage of money.

Therefore, the imperial court encouraged these nobles, merchants, and powerful to spend money to enjoy, and even many tributes could be bought and sold by default. As long as money is spent, the economy can function and circulate.

Nobles, merchants, and heroes spend money to buy all kinds of materials to enjoy, and the vegetables and fruits planted by the people will be sold in large quantities by craftsmen, and the people and craftsmen will also get money, and with money they can buy all kinds of items needed for life, and there will be more production with demand, and a virtuous circle has been formed since then.

Nobles, officials, and merchants enjoyed luxury, the common people and craftsmen made money, the market became prosperous, and the taxes of the imperial court increased. All were benefited.

The imperial court did not prohibit all kinds of luxury, as long as it was within the law. The Mo family, the peasants, and some Confucians did not approve of this kind of luxury and admired diligence and thrift, but the royal family turned a deaf ear to this kind of exhortation every time.

However, Qi Ru was influenced by Yan Ying Guan Zhong and did not object to this kind of luxury enjoyment. These two sages were originally Qi Xiang, and the country of Qi was prosperous in commerce and trade, and the two were proficient in economics and knew the benefits of doing so.

However, the imperial court is not free of all extravagant enjoyment, and thick burials are not recommended. For a long time, Daqian has had a funeral ceremony for the deceased, and for the sake of filial piety, the people have always respected the burial.

Ordinary people can pay it back, and they can accompany the funeral for a few dollars, but there are many nobles and wealthy businessmen to accompany the funeral, and the carloads of gold, silver and jewelry are buried together, this kind of behavior is completely wasted, if everyone is like this, the court is not enough to cast no amount of money.

Therefore, in order to prevent the practice of thick burials, the imperial court deliberately formulated a strict funeral system, strictly limiting the burial of gold, silver and copper coins. There is a strict limit on the amount of burial goods for the area occupied by the tomb, and once it is exceeded, it will be disposed of according to the transgression, and the head will be killed if it should be exiled.

In addition to gold, silver and copper coins, there are basically no restrictions on funerary pottery, lacquerware, silk, stone carvings, calligraphy, etc., and bronze, gold, silver, and copper coins are strictly restricted and divided according to grades.

The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain. Jiaxuan's "Qingyu Case" is just right here. Although tonight is not the Lantern Festival, nor is it Lin'an, the scene of Luoyang, the capital of the gods, is more lively than this word.

Although it was the middle of the moon, the city was getting more and more jubilant. The streets are lined with flowers and trees, and the lanterns in front of the shops are colorful. Pedestrians weave through, shouting and laughing through the streets, and vendors of all kinds line up along the streets.

On the square, dragon dancers, gongs and drums, fire-breathing, all kinds of jugglers, lively and lively.

"Head of the house, head of the house, slow down, it's too chaotic here, let's do it." Several big men escorted an old, richly dressed old man through the square. The middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper has been persuading him to something.

"In this world, the world is peaceful, the people live in peace, what is the danger, don't be so nervous?" The old man waved his hand impatiently.

"Master, it's better to be careful, we've also seen this night view of Luoyang, do you want us to go back?"

"Go back? This is just the beginning, go back to what! The old man said nonchalantly.

The old man was none other than Wang Xin. White Arowana suits, big dry since ancient times. Wang Xin is even more often like this, and he has been old in the past two years, and he has come out less.

Seeing the night view of Luoyang City so bright, I was very relieved.

While wandering around, Wang Xin ran to the shop stalls to buy some gadgets at random and asked about various prices. Since the issuance of silver coins by the imperial court, more and more copper coins have been circulating in the market.

Because silver coins have been minted for many years, there are now more silver coins in circulation. Wang Xin deliberately took out silver coins to buy items, and the surrounding vendors were willing to accept it.

There is only one kind of silver coin in the imperial court, and the people of Luoyang City have seen a lot, and they even know the way to distinguish the authenticity.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the square not far ahead, and a team of Luoyang soldiers and horses rushed over and shouted: "Who is making trouble?" ”

I saw a vendor holding a man, the two of them didn't let go, and when they saw the inspection coming, the man's face changed, and the vendor next to him immediately shouted: "Master Jun, this guy uses fake money, quickly arrest him!" ”

"Nonsense, I didn't use fake money! You let go! The man took the opportunity to tear the vendor away, and turned around to flee into the crowd. The inspection that came to inspect it, without thinking about it, hit the man's leg with the iron ruler in his hand. The man hugged and cried out in pain, and then was directly pressed to the ground by the remaining inspectors.
