Just after the New Year, Lu Bu was busy again.

Now he sits on the nine counties of the state, Wuyuan Taishou Chen Palace, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Liao, Xihe Taishou Jia Xu, Taiyuan Taishou Cangci, Yanmen Taishou Gengzhi, Yunzhong, Dingxiang two counties concurrently serve as Taishou Tianchou, Shuofang Dynasty Taishou Lu Yan and Shangjun Taishou Fengji, which are all arranged, such as Cao Xing, Wang Cheng and Ji Zhao and others are also in their respective positions, Gao Shun led the troops to continue to defend the north of Wuyuan, Cao Xing, Zhang Liao respectively Chen Bing Xihe, Shangdangnan, in addition to Chen Gong, Dian Wei, Liangle, Lu Cui, Ayimu, Zhaozhao, as well as Xun's three generations of uncles and nephews and Cao Ren, it is Wei Xu and Hou Cheng, who just came back around the New Year to report the progress of the navy.

To be honest, no one would have thought that Wei Xu and the others would really have the talent to train the water army, their own water nature is good, and they can be regarded as excellent among the northerners, but this does not mean anything, and obviously they have not been in contact with it before, and they are completely groping it out by themselves, but fortunately, Lu Bu only had a real mentality at the beginning, and now the answer sheet they handed in is completely surprising.

The 3,000-strong sailor army, although it was only rampant on a small river basin like a second-level tributary of the river, already seemed to be similar and even exceeded Lu Bu's expectations.

Of course, now that the weather is getting colder and the river is frozen, the navy has no way to stay any longer, so they can only temporarily drag the warship into the dock first, and all the sailors have returned to Jiuyuan under their leadership.

Because this size is a credit, Lu Bu is impressed by these two people, speaking of which, Wei Xu can finally get a little bit of a relative with him, and from the current point of view, because of Lu Bu's own transformation, the loyalty of the two has been greatly improved. After all, it's not that anyone is born to like to be an anti-bone boy, if there is no personal reason for Lu Bu in history, even if Wei Xu and the others, who have followed him since their debut, really want to surrender to Cao Cao, at most, they will be like Zhang Liao, instead of tying him up to join the enemy.

And judging from the appearance of the two of them when they were under Cao Cao later, they may not necessarily be very outstanding talents, but the morality is certain, and here Lu Bu found that compared to the previous Cheng Lian, there is also Hao Meng, who has always been highly used but hides everything in his heart and makes people unable to see through. These two people are much more trustworthy.

The matter of the navy is not in a hurry. Lu Bu originally just wanted to develop a template, and in the future, he will follow this direction, and it will be much easier to have a successful template.

And Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Lu Bu also plan to treat them more favorably in the future. Of course, don't make it too obvious. It was too cold before, and now it is too generous, not to mention them. Even others will feel suspicious, and it may cause some unnecessary trouble, and good things will become bad things.

And Lu Bu made the first decision after the New Year. It has to do with currency.

The economic base determines the superstructure, and in the era of commodity economy, money is one of the important points, although it is now an agricultural society, the natural economy is dominant, but it has long passed the time of barter, money as a value symbol, whether in social commerce or private circulation, is extremely important.

Speaking of currency, we have to mention the currency exchange policy promulgated by Dong Zhuo and caused a wave in the world, which is also the main reason why Lu Bu chose to start in this aspect first.

Since last year's court discussion for the reminting of currency and the establishment of academies, Dong Zhuo adopted Lü Bujian yì, presided over by Situ Wang Yun, abolishing the five-baht coin and recoining it with a small coin.

Even if Lu Bu later left the state, and Wang Yun was also hung naked in the city tower, and he was extremely miserable after his death, but the policy they left behind was not shelved because of this, of course, it is now in charge of Li Ru, and Li Ru can't put too much thought into it because there are too many things, so people still follow the basic trajectory set by Wang Yun before.

However, unlike in history, because Dong Zhuo had not moved the capital to Chang'an at this time, and had not almost burned Luoyang, Li Ru in the early stage in order to be insured, he first collected various copper products since the Qin and Han dynasties in Luoyang and nearby areas, including all kinds of bronze utensils, copper furnaces, and even the twelve bronze people cast by the first emperor from the world's weapons, several of which were found nearby were also collected by him, and then all of them were destroyed into raw materials and melted into new money.

But the liquidity of this kind of small money is not high at present, because Dong Zhuo's distribution of small money is essentially to loot private wealth for his own use, of course, part of it is to establish the academy mentioned by Lu Bu, and in the casting process, neither Wang Yun nor Lu Bu who is assisting has not done his best, and then the two main and deputy leaders have thrown a mess, and Li Ru, who took over, did not have much time to take care of it, but Dong Zhuo was strict and demanding, and the time was very hasty. So that the minted small money or has "five baht", "five zhu" and other words, or no text, the quality of the money is poor, and extremely light and thin, each weight is only about one gram, only the Ling Emperor cast "four out of five baht" money nearly a quarter of the weight, and the number of minting is countless, but because of Dong Zhuo's control of the scope of zhì, at present it can only be circulated in the narrow area within the ruling power of the central government, so that the number of too many areas and limitations, so that in the small money circulation area caused hyperinflation.

At the price of grain, calculated in small amounts, each stone has risen from tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars.

According to Lu Bu's estimates, after surviving this New Year, I am afraid that a round of civil uprising will break out in the Sili area, and it will continue to have an impact, and now it is only for the hawkers and merchants between the towns, and it will spread to the farmers who occupy the majority of the population, as well as the middle class in the city, and finally even some big businessmen will be affected.

Although the situation in the world has been artificially divided into divisions by the major princes, because no one, including Dong Zhuo, dares to uncover the name of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty today, in the eyes of the people of the world, it is still the world of the Han Dynasty, no matter how the people of different forces are divided, there will still be all kinds of contacts, and the commercial communication cannot be completely banned, and because of the special status of Luoyang and Si Li, coupled with the strength of Dong Zhuo's own power, it was originally only a crisis within the scope of Dong Zhuo's rule. But it can easily spread to all parts of the world, especially neighboring places, such as merging states.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, take precautions, Lu Bu must take into account this impact, I am afraid that no one in the world knows the horror of the economic crisis better than him, in modern society, even if it is a powerful country in the world, when the tide of economic crisis hits, it will be a wolf, of course, this is also related to the characteristics of the market that lead to the dispersion of economic forces into many individuals, and the inability to unite together to resist the economic crisis at a critical moment.

In short, the state that has just been on the right track must not suffer an unwarranted disaster because of this, and Lu Bu's response to this is also very simple, before it is affected by the impact, first use the power of the government to intervene strongly, and unite the scattered private business groups of the state, so that they can at least unite to protect themselves when the crisis comes.

For this reason, Lu Bu must also let someone under him really understand his meaning, and then he will come forward to act in a play first.
