Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 225 Productivity is the number one factor!

As soon as Cao Su's words came out, the entire lobby became completely silent!

Immediately after that, there was an even more violent uproar in the hall than before, as if they couldn't understand Cao Su's words!

In today's situation, tax increase is already inevitable, that is to say, a few percent increase!

Although Yang Xiu's remonstrance is absurd, at least the direction is right, and when the time comes to correct it together, it is not impossible to implement it!

But Cao Sufei not only did not mention the tax increase, but also reduced the tax, which is completely impossible!

After hearing this, Yang Xiu couldn't hold back a sneer, and said sarcastically:
"It's just a big joke. Since His Majesty and the Prime Minister want to quickly restore the national strength and military strength, taxes must be increased. Cao Zhongcheng can even talk about tax cuts. It is really nonsense and ridiculous to the extreme!"

"That's right!"

Cao Cao also interrupted at this time, turned to Cao Su and said indifferently, "Master Cao, the matter of reducing the burden is really a bit ridiculous. Now that Yuan Shao is powerful, if you are not prepared, will you let the soldiers fight hungry?"

He may start a war with Yuan Shao at any time, it's fine if he doesn't increase the tax, but this kid wants to reduce the tax!
If he hadn't heard the voice of this intersex person, he would have thought that Cao Su would try to rebel again!
After Cao Cao's words fell, the others also whispered and nodded, expressing their full agreement with Cao Cao's opinion.

Yang Xiu looked even more proud when he saw the situation, and he was so proud that he looked at Cao Su's chin.

Cao Su wanted to continue talking, but Zhao Wen stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, although what Cao Zhongcheng said is absurd, I also feel that the [-]% tax proposed by Master Yang is indeed too high. If the people are really forced to starve to death, then the supply of troops will also be a problem!"

"That's why I think that the tax can be increased to [-]%. Although it is slow, it can at least guarantee the daily consumption of the people!"

"Everything can't be added!"

At this time, Cao Su interrupted directly:
"Master Zhao, Master Yang, have you ever thought about it, now the peasants are not the first to connect the land, there are landlords above them, and the officials are in charge, in fact, the maximum amount allocated to the peasants is less than [-]%. With the addition of taxes and taxes, only the lowest class people will be exploited in the end, and by then, riots will still be inevitable.”

As soon as Cao Su said this, everyone's expressions became a little weird and wonderful!
Many of them are also in charge of the land. When the tax increase is proposed, they immediately think about how to protect their own interests, and the first way they think of is to get the farmer's share. !

At this time, Cao Su pierced their hearts, and immediately made them feel guilty, and no one refuted for a while!
Because no one has ever dared to put this matter on the surface, Cao Su is also right, and offended everyone!
"Since tax increases and tax cuts won't work, what can Mr. Cao do?"

Cao Cao frowned slightly, and immediately interrupted everyone's thoughts.

Asking Cao Su is not only to find out what he means, but also to show his position and protect Cao Su in front of these Han officials.

At this time, Cao Su was not afraid at all, and turned to Yang Xiu and asked:
"Master Yang, I dare to ask, do you know where the biggest obstacle to restoring the country's strength lies?"

Yang Xiu was slightly taken aback, and after thinking for a while, he said, "The supply is in short supply. Although there are sweet potatoes, which have a very high yield per mu, the speed of cultivation by farmers cannot keep up with the speed of growth, and the supply will often be cut off!"

Cao Su asked again, "Then what caused this situation?"

Yang Xiu looked at him puzzled and didn't know what Cao Su wanted to say, but he still replied:

"The cycle of cultivation and sowing is too long, so the first acre is harvested, and the next acre has not been planted yet!"

"That's right!" Cao Su did not refute Yang Xiu this time, "To put it simply, the productivity is not directly proportional to the consumption rate!"

The civil and military men of the whole court were confused by Cao Su's words. Just now they were blushing with Yang Xiu, but now they agree with Yang Xiu's words. Isn't this contradictory?
"Master Cao, it's okay to speak up!"

Cao Cao lost his patience at this time, and his heart was itchy and panicked.

Is there anyone as appetizing as you kid?Don't say it on the surface and don't say it in your heart!Damn it's really annoying!
Cao Su looked at Cao Cao at this moment, and asked seriously:
"Prime Minister, if I have something that can increase productivity by at least five times, and it is more than enough to grow sweet potatoes, will you still increase taxes?"

"what?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone exclaimed again!

Five times more productive?What is this concept?
In order to increase the speed of agricultural production, the Han Dynasty has only increased by nearly two times in the 400 years since the Han Dynasty!

He, Cao Su, wanted to increase his productivity by five times?This is too incredible!
Not to mention Yang Xiu and Zhao Wen's generation, even Cao Cao was so shocked by Cao Su's words that he couldn't sit still. He stood up and asked in a startled voice:
"Is this true?"

"Hmm... Maybe there will be deviations..." Cao Su thought for a while, then said conservatively, "It's only a little bit more!"

Cao Cao thumped in his heart. Just now he was slightly disappointed when he heard that there was a deviation, but he didn't expect Cao Su to say that it was only too much?Immediately one could not hold back and asked:

"Quick! Present it to the truth!"

However, Cao Su shook his head suddenly, with a honeyed smile on the corner of his mouth, "Prime Minister, since I dare to say it, I am absolutely sure. The Prime Minister only agrees with what I said, whether the tax will be increased or decreased?"

[If it weren't for the fact that so many people are still suffering, do you think I want to hand over the crystallization of the wisdom of the people for thousands of years to you, Boss Cao? 】

[This is against my principle of sending you away!Give this thing to you, do you know how many opportunities I will lose to send you away? 】

【Ugh!No way, whoever calls me an outstanding socialist youth just can't see the people suffering! 】

The corner of Cao Cao's mouth twitched, and his face became extraordinarily exciting. I don't know whether to be angry or happy!

This Nima is a real dog!

Knowing that the battle between himself and Yuan Shao was imminent, he actually relied on his own solution to force him to submit!

Too doggy!It's really a dog's fault!
But turning around and thinking about it again, it is rare for this hermaphrodite to agree with each other, which proves that the fetish he mentioned can definitely solve the problem of today's shortage of productivity!
In this way, even if there is no tax increase, two years is enough for him to prepare enough food and troops!

But even thinking of this, Cao Cao still said:

"It is impossible to reduce taxes, and it is impossible to reduce taxes in this life. At most, there will be no tax increases!"

"No! At least [-]% off!"

Cao Su was not happy, raised his finger and said.

"No reduction!"

"Twenty percent!"

"no!"

[Gan!Boss Cao, you are a dog!You are shopping for groceries!Also bargain! 】

[I'll give you one last chance!If you don't agree, I will take it to hang bacon! 】

"One percent!"

"it is good!"

Cao Cao nodded in agreement!

"Just reduce it by [-]%!"

Cao Su: ? ? ?
Seeing the half-smile on the corner of Cao Cao's mouth, Cao Su's face was full of bewilderment!
【Depend on!How do you feel being played by him again? 】
