After the five newspapers were distributed, they caused heated discussions in Shouchun City.

The first is the policy of benefiting the people and suppressing the world.

These two points have won the hearts of the people!

In the past, the government and the family were in the same spirit, representing the most powerful force in the world, and the people did not dare to resist. Now Lu Bu's army dares to confront the family, and has repeatedly emphasized that the killing of the family will immediately arouse the people's hatred for the family. At the same time, he strongly supported Lu Bu's new regime. Especially after the promulgation of the policy of benefiting the people, the people who originally supported Lu Bu have strengthened their confidence.

Then, the prospects of Xu Yang and the two states and the situation of the world, these two articles also played a great role. The text belittles the princes of each town and the generals under the princes, and praises and whitewashes Lü Bu and the generals under Lü Bu. Since the incident in Xuzhou, Lian Zhan Lian Jie, defeated Cao Liu, destroyed Yuan Shu, and dominated the south of the Yangtze River. With the financial support of hot-selling products such as fairy wine and the world's first paper, the economy of Xuyang and Yangzhou is getting better and better, and the taxes paid by the people are getting lower and lower.

Just imagine, even Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shu joined forces, but they couldn't beat Lu Bu, looking at the world, who else was Lu Bu's opponent? Yuan Shao? The article is full of words that belittle Yuan Shao, and the blood sprayed by Yuan Shao is worthless.

In short, after reading the first four articles, almost all the people believe that Lu Bu's army is a strong army that is invincible and victorious in every battle. Moreover, Lu Bu loves the people very much, and all policies are biased towards the people.

Then, the last article, currency reform, made many people hesitate.

The article lists a lot of benefits to the people after the currency reform, but they are all far-fetched. For example, banknotes are easy to carry. People think, I don't have much money, and I usually go to the street, so I just carry a few copper plates, what's inconvenient to carry?

Copper coins are forbidden to circulate in the market, and the enemy can't get in? It's also far-fetched. The enemies are all ferocious, just kill a few people, and there will be paper money? Do you have to go to the bank to exchange it yourself?

Yangzhou Thorn History Mansion.

In the lobby, Lu Bu was thinking about the division of troops, and Zhang Feng hurried over.

Lu Bu looked up and asked, "How is it, what did the people on the street say?" ”

"Back to my lord, the situation is a bit bad. People don't seem to want to use paper money. Zhang Feng said.

"How is that possible?"

"That's true. Many people say that paper money can only be used in Shouchun, and it will become waste paper when it comes out of Shouchun. ”

"What else did you say?" Lu Bu asked.

The people also said that the use of copper coins is as easy to carry as the use of paper money (the people do not have much money in their hands), and they also said that it is safe to use copper coins and there is no need to worry about depreciation. If you use paper money, you probably won't be able to buy anything. ”

"It's foolishness. Whether the copper coin will depreciate or not is not up to them. Lu Bu pondered for a while, as if he remembered something, and asked, "I asked you to find the most popular people, have you found them?" ”

"Back to the lord, I have found it."

"Where?"

"It's all in the Ling Yin Mansion."

Lu Bu stood up and said, "Take me quickly." ”

"No."

The two went to Ling Yin's mansion.

The so-called most popular people are those who have a good reputation and speak effectively, and the people trust him. There are such characters in many villages. Shouchun City is no exception. The people have conflicts with each other, and they don't want to go to the government to solve them. Because the government is too dark, no matter whether it is justified or not, you have to pay money. Just find this kind of most popular person to solve it.

Lu Bu looked for these people because he wanted to rely on them to explain the people and change their thinking.

Ling Yin Mansion.

In the lobby, there are more than 100 people sitting.

Lu Bu walked in and sat on the top seat.

"I've seen the general." The people stood up and saluted.

"Sit down."

"General Xie."

Lu Bu said: "Do you know why I invited you here? ”

The crowd shook their heads.

Lu Budao: "It's because of the currency reform. I'm sure you've already read the newspapers, so I won't say more. I just want to know, what do you guys think about this? ”

"General, the reform of the currency system will not help the people, please think twice." A sixty-year-old man stood up.

"Yes, the general has always put the people first, why do you want to loot the people?" And humane.

"We don't approve of the general doing this!"

The rest of the people followed suit.

There were still Zhang Feng and Zhang Pan standing in the hall, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but think: "It's really a group of Diao people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, if they dared to talk to Yuan Shu like this during Yuan Shu's reign, they would have been clicked a long time ago." ”

Lu Bu was expressionless, and he could talk about it: "Since I raised troops in Xuzhou, drove away Liu Bei, defeated Cao Cao, and eliminated the family and Yuan Shu, there was peace in Xuyang and Yangzhou today." I dare to guarantee that as long as I, Lu Bu, live for a day, there will be no rebellious ministers and thieves who will hurt the people of my Xu and Yang states. ”

Hearing this, everyone admired Lu Bu. In these troubled times, it is really not easy to find such a quiet land for the people, not moved by money, not moved by power, and only wholeheartedly for the people.

"However, it is not so easy to defend the two states of Xu and Yang. We have Yuan Shao in the north, with millions of soldiers, and they are waiting for invasion. There is Cao Cao in the west, who is getting stronger and stronger, and sooner or later he will call. There is Sun Ce in the east and Liu Biao in the south, both of whom want to occupy Jiangnan. And the great families of the states and counties are eager to eat my flesh and drink my blood. I also want to be the master of the people and protect the people forever. However, fighting a war does not depend on enthusiasm, let alone the number of soldiers and bravery, but with strong financial support. How to support it? More than half of the grain in the granary is used to relieve the people, and only 30% of the taxes are left. With no money, no food, no soldiers and horses, how can we talk about protecting the territory and the people? When the enemy comes, we will only be captured and killed by the rebels and thieves, is this what you want to see? ”

As soon as the words fell, someone asked: "Can the general guarantee that the banknotes will not become waste paper?" ”

"Of course! I vouch for my life, copper coins and paper money, there is no difference. Lu Bu slowly stood up and said: "Those who have achieved great things since ancient times must rely on the support of the people. Yuan Shu cut himself off from the people, and he should have perished. I know this very well, how can I dig my own grave? ”

Everyone in the hall began to discuss.

Lu Bu sat back in his seat and waited for the result.

Lu Bu believes that as long as these people are really for the good of the people, they will definitely agree.

Of course, it's okay not to agree. Currency reform is imperative, and no one can stop it. The reason why these people were invited here was just to let them help publicize and maintain the positive image of the government. After all, Lu Bu has always loved the people. This image must not be destroyed, otherwise it will never stand on this land.
