When Lu Bu proposed to create an inflation artificially, Chen Gong was still confused.

Although he was extremely wise, he had never been exposed to emerging terms such as inflation and economic crisis.

He can understand inflation.

However, the imperial court issued too much money, so that the value of money circulated among the people was depreciated. The things bought with the same money were completely different from those before they were depreciated.

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

Whether it is food, cloth or anything else, with today's production capacity, it is impossible to have an oversupply.

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

Overproduction...

In the eyes of Chen Gong, who had never experienced the economic crisis at all, it was a dream paradise that everyone was looking forward to...

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

"Do you remember Wang Mang from the Great Xin Dynasty?" Lu Bu smiled.

The East and West Han dynasties were divided by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu's revival of the Han Dynasty.

The root of Liu Xiu's revival of the Han Dynasty was the usurpation of power by his relative Wang Mang.

Before Wang Mang usurped power, he was a powerful minister of the Han Dynasty in terms of character and ability.

His thinking is strange and can often propose some incredible policies.

The implementation of these policies did indeed drive the political economy of the Western Han Dynasty to a certain extent.

Wang Mang was controversial, and another reason was that he was a decent person.

Anyone will always have more or less weaknesses.

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

But Wang Mang is not.

Before becoming emperor, he had always restrained his desire for power, and as for beauty and money, he regarded it as dirt.

It is precisely because of this that he accumulated enough strength in a very short time and took away the country from the Han court.

However, after he became emperor, many of the decrees issued were not suitable for the social environment at that time. Shortly after the founding of the Great New Year, people from all over the country complained.

Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu took the opportunity to revive and overthrow Wang Mang's new regime!

When Lu Bu mentioned Wang Mang, Chen Gong asked in surprise: "Wang Mang is just a traitor, what should Wen Hou asks him to do?"

"He was defeated, so he was a traitor." Lu Bu smiled indifferently: "If he had accomplished his business back then and Daxin stabilized his country, who could have said that he was a traitor?"

Chen Gong was stunned.

Since the Battle of Xia Pi, Lu Bu often said something incredible.

After careful consideration, every word he said makes perfect sense.

The so-called traitors are nothing more than being judged by future generations in the event of failure.

Once things are done, the comments of later generations will put them in orthodox form.

Isn’t Liu Bang, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, also a traitor compared to the Qin Dynasty?

Chen Gong was speechless when Lu Bu's theory was heard, but he didn't understand what Wang Mang had to do with inflation.

"Wang Mang implemented a policy." Lu Bu said: "He issued big money to exchange for Wuzhu coins. Each big money can be exchanged for five Wuzhu coins. However, in real circulation, the purchasing power of big money and Wuzhu coins is comparable. The collapse of the Xin Dynasty also has an inseparable relationship with this policy. Isn't it easy to change it and promote an inflation?"

"Wen Hou knew that Wang Mang was defeated by that decree, why did he still adopt it?" Chen Gong said: "Would Mr. Wen be afraid of following in Wang Mang's footsteps by adopting the strategy of defeat?"

"The consequences of putting the same decree in different periods are completely different." Lu Bu said: "There is no problem with Wang Mang's policy. It is necessary to exchange large amounts of money for Wuzhu coins to improve the purchasing ability of money in the social environment at that time. But he ignored one thing, that is, to carry out the upward and the downward effect. No matter how good the decree he issued, the officials below would disobey or even give up their own pockets. What can he do?"

"I understand what Wen Hou meant." Chen Gong nodded: "Xuzhou is not the world, and the world's officialdom is difficult to rectify, but Xuzhou can come here with all your care."

"What the public station said is indeed reasonable, but I don't think so." Lu Bu smiled and said, "I also want to order the production of big money, but big money is not circulated among the people. It is only used to purchase important resources such as coal, steel, etc. that are related to the national economy and people's livelihood. To purchase coal, you must exchange Wuzhu coins for big money, in order to facilitate inventory."

"I understand!" When Lu Bu said this, Chen Gong suddenly realized: "Coal is not judged by Wuzhu coins, but only by big money. Even if it is rich, it is impossible to buy coal without big money. In this way, people who need coal must purchase a large amount of big money, and in the short term, the money in Wenhou's hands will gather a lot."

"Then we will control the coal output and raise the price." Lu Bu said with a wicked smile: "The separation of resources and people's livelihood is the only heroes in various places, and they have nothing to do with the people. If the people are not in chaos, Xuzhou will not be in chaos. If the people are rich and powerful, I can train a more elite army and revitalize Xuzhou, which is a place of battles. I am the bravest of the three armies in the world, but there is no powerful Xuzhou behind me, and I am just a single man."

Lu Bu stood up and walked to the window.

He looked out the window: "The world has been in chaos for a long time. Follow the rules set by others. We are always led by others. From today on, I will become the one who sets the rules, not the one who follows other people's rules!"

Clenched his fists, he continued, "I will get a piece of my pill sooner or later!"

Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo that year, but later joined Yuan Shao.

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

Even if he seized Xuzhou from Liu Bei, Lu Bu never said such passionate and domineering words at that time.

Chen Gong even once believed that Lu Bu was born to be a person who could not accomplish great things by only being brave.

But at this moment, he had another understanding of Lu Bu.

Standing at the window, Lu Bu is no longer the Wen Hou he used to know.

At this time, he was not only young, not only brave, but also had a desire for power deep in his heart!

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

The world is his goal, and achieving great achievements is his ultimate goal.

To reach the peak and overlooking the people is what Lu Bu wants most now.

Chen Gong also stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Bu's back: "Even if the world betrays Marquis Wen, I will never stop until death!"

Lu Bu turned around and smiled at him: "I have understood the feelings of the Gongtai, so we should do what we just said slowly. The most important thing now is to send Xiahou Yuanrang away. I always feel uncomfortable when he stays in Pengcheng."
