The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 160 Rule Makers
Lu Bu proposed artificially creating an inflation, but Chen Gong was still at a loss.

Although he is very wise and considerate, he has never been exposed to emerging terms such as inflation and economic crisis.

He can understand some inflation.

It's just that the imperial court has distributed too much money, so that the value of money circulating among the people has depreciated, and the things bought with the same money are completely different from those before the depreciation.

But Chen Gong really couldn't understand the economic crisis.

No matter food or cloth or anything else, with today's production capacity, it is impossible to have excess.

Chen Gong thought that the so-called economic crisis was just Lu Bu's wishful thinking.

overproduction...

From the perspective of Chen Gong, who has never experienced an economic crisis, it is the dream paradise that everyone is looking forward to...

"How does Marquis Wen plan to create an inflation?" Chen Gong asked.

"Do you remember Wang Mang from the Daxin Dynasty?" Lu Bu chuckled.

The Eastern and Western Han were divided by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu's revival of the Great Han.

The root cause of Liu Xiu's revival of the great man was the usurpation of power by his relative Wang Mang.

Before Wang Mang usurped power, he could be said to be the minister of the big man regardless of his character or ability.

His thinking is peculiar, and he can often propose some incredible policies.

The implementation of these policies did, to a certain extent, drive the political economy of the Western Han Dynasty at that time.

Another reason why Wang Mang has been controversial is that he is decent.

But all people always have more or less weaknesses.

Some people are greedy for money, some are lustful, or some have an extremely pathological pursuit of power.

But Wang Mang was not.

Before he became emperor, he had always restrained his desire for power, and he even treated beauties and money as dung.

It is precisely because of this that he has accumulated enough strength in a short period of time to take away the country from the Han court.

However, after he became emperor, many decrees issued were not suitable for the social environment at that time. Not long after the establishment of the Great New Dynasty, people everywhere complained.

Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu took the opportunity to revolt and overthrew Wang Mang's Daxin regime!
When Lü Bu mentioned Wang Mang, Chen Gong asked in surprise, "Wang Mang is just a traitor and traitor, what does Marquis Wen mention him?"

"He was defeated, so he is a traitor." Lu Bu smiled lightly, "If he had succeeded in the past and Daxin had stabilized the country, who would say he was a traitor?"

Chen Gong was stunned.

Since the Battle of Xiapi, Lu Bu has often said some unbelievable things.

After careful consideration, every word he said made a lot of sense.

The so-called rebellious ministers and thieves are judged by later generations only because the rebellion fails.

Once done, the comments of later generations will put them on orthodoxy.

Compared with the Great Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was also a traitor and traitor?
Chen Gong was speechless about Lu Bu's theory, but he didn't understand what Wang Mang had to do with inflation.

"Wang Mang implemented a policy." Lu Bu said: "He issued big coins to exchange for five baht coins. Each big coin can be exchanged for five five baht coins, but in real circulation, the purchasing power of big coins and five baht coins is quite the same. The fall of the new dynasty is also inextricably linked to this policy. I just need to change it a little bit and start a inflation, isn’t it easy?”

"Wen Hou knew that Wang Mang was defeated by that government order, why did he still adopt it?" Chen Gong said: "Using the policy of defeat, isn't Wen Hou afraid of following in Wang Mang's footsteps?"

"The consequences of the same decree in different periods are completely different." Lu Bu said: "Wang Mang's policy is not a problem. Big money is exchanged for five baht to increase the purchasing power of money. In the social environment at that time Down is also necessary. But he neglected one thing, and that is to act from top to bottom. No matter how good the decree he promulgates, what can he do if the officials at the bottom obey it and violate it or even fill their pockets?"

"I understand what Marquis Wen means." Chen Gong nodded: "Xuzhou is not the world, and the officialdom in the world is difficult to straighten out, but a mere Xuzhou can come here with care."

"There is indeed some truth to what Gongtai said, but I don't think so." Lu Bu chuckled: "I also want to order the production of big money, but the big money is not circulated among the people, it is only used to purchase coal, steel and other important items related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Resources. To buy coal, five baht money must be exchanged for big money, in order to facilitate counting.”

"I understand!" Lu Bu said this, and Chen Gong suddenly realized: "Coal is not priced at five baht, but only at big money. Even if a country is as rich as an enemy, it cannot buy coal without a lot of money. In this way , People who need coal must buy a lot of money, and in a short period of time, Marquis Wen will have a lot of money in his hands."

"Then we will control the output of coal and raise the price." Lu Bu said with a smirk: "Resources are separated from people's livelihood. I'm only cheating heroes from all over the country, and have nothing to do with the people. If the people are not in chaos, Xuzhou will not be in chaos. The rich and powerful, Only then can I train a more elite army, and I can rejuvenate Xuzhou, the land of many battles. I am invincible in the world, but there is no strong Xuzhou behind me, and I am just a lone husband."

Lu Bu stood up and walked to the window.

He looked out of the window: "The world has long been in chaos. Follow the rules and follow the rules made by others. We are always led by the nose. From today, I will be the person who makes the rules, not the person who follows the rules of others. !"

Clenching his fists tightly, he continued: "Under the world, sooner or later, I will have a piece of my pie!"

Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, and later joined Yuan Shao.

Because he was jealous of Yuan Shao, he came to Xuzhou to serve Liu Bei, the Xuzhou shepherd at that time.

Even if Xuzhou was captured from Liu Bei, Lu Bu at that time never said such impassioned and domineering words.

Chen Gong even once believed that Lu Bu was born to be a person who could achieve great things with only martial arts.

But at this moment, he has a different understanding of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu who was standing at the window was no longer the Wenhou he used to know.

At this time, he is not only young, not only brave, but also has a desire for power in his heart!

If Lu Bu in the past was ignorant and dazed, now Lu Bu has a very clear goal.

The world is his goal, and achieving greatness is his ultimate goal.

Climbing to the top and overlooking the common people is what Lu Bu wants most now.

Chen Gong also stood up, and he bowed deeply to Lu Bu's back: "Even if the whole world turns their backs on Marquis Wen, I will not change until death!"

Lu Bu turned around and smiled at him: "I have understood Gongtai's intentions for a long time. Let's do what we said just now. The most important thing now is to send Xia Houyuan away. He stays in Pengcheng. I always feel that Feeling uncomfortable."
