Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 228 New Farm Tools + Tax Reduction!Yuan Shao panicked?
On the day Cao Cao left Cao Su's house, Xun Yu and Guo Jia had already drawn up the tax reduction proposal!

I have to say that these two are indeed the best civil servants and advisors under Cao Cao. After reading the official document, Cao Cao didn't even think about revising it, so he just asked Xun Yu to announce it to the world!
As soon as this announcement was issued, all the cities in Cao Cao's territory immediately caused an uproar, which stirred up the people in the whole city and made them revel!
In such a situation where the war is pressing, Cao Cao not only did not increase taxes, but actually reduced them by [-]%, which is unbelievable!
As soon as the news is released, someone will naturally verify the truth!
And when people inquired about the tax reduction, it turned out that Cao Su, who regarded the world's wives as his possessions, proposed it, everyone was stunned for several seconds!

The result is...Cao Su was once again pushed to the top of the upsurge of public opinion!

Some people say that Cao Su deliberately concealed the fact that he coveted the empress of the Han Dynasty for the sake of showing off. Some people say that although Cao Su likes wives and is almost pathological, he is a benevolent and righteous king who thinks about the people, and no one is perfect!
The public opinion on Cao Su was completely divided into two extremes, but it was obvious that the negative public opinion was slowly dissipating!

However, before they discussed this matter for a long time, the Quyuanli invented by Cao Su was officially announced to the world!
After this Quyuanli, which can increase productivity by nearly five times, became known to the common people, all of Cao Cao's cities were completely exploded!

Xuchang!Yanzhou!Luoyang!Add up to nearly a million farmers, and some of them have been dealing with the fields all their lives, but they have never seen this extremely convenient plow. It is not only easy to operate, but also greatly improves the efficiency of plowing!

One ox, one plow, and one person can accomplish more than five times the amount of arable land in the same period of time as the previous long straight plow. When they learned that the curved plow was actually invented by Cao Su, everyone was shocked!

For the common people, what they think is very simple!
It is enough to have enough work to do, enough to eat, and a stable place to live!

And Cao Su just gave them all of these!

Now, all the previous negative comments on Cao Su completely disappeared. All the streets and alleys in the city, the neighbors, and even the Huayue Restaurant, everyone talked about Cao Su even more!
There was even a simple ballad spread among the people, praising Cao Su's benevolent government and loving the people!

"Su Fu Potato, Su Fu Fu, tree people to open the way to the sky, magical workmanship and ghost ax Qu Yuanli, the wife of a man addicted to people is the envoy!" '

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and this ballad, like Qu Yuanli, completely popularized all of Cao Cao's cities and territories. Cao Su was even said to exist like a master of Luban. Cao Cao's reputation has been covered!
After learning about this, Cao Cao was speechless for a long time!

Obviously he is the implementer, so why is it all thanks to the dog?

This made him feel wronged!
However, Cao Cao did not intervene in the breeding of these trends. He knew better than anyone else that in the current world, it was more important for the people in his city to have a spiritual sustenance, which would save him a lot of worry.

At least he won't worry that someone will deliberately rebel and sabotage his plan to raise troops!
Sure enough, Cao Cao made the right choice!
After only half a year, after two seasons of harvest, the payment in the treasury has recovered by nearly half, and Cao Cao was immediately overjoyed!
I only found out after hearing Xun Yu's report!

Tax Abatement + New Farm Tools!
The people's enthusiasm for farming has been thoroughly stimulated, and there is no need to put pressure through officials and landlords as before. Therefore, the productivity in the past six months has increased by nearly seven times compared with the same period last year, which is two times more than five times the previous estimate. to make!

This made Cao Cao extremely excited, and felt more and more that although the man was a dog, he was really a dog!

According to the current situation, within a year, the national treasury will be able to restore the abundance of previous years, and it will continue to grow!
What he is most worried about now is that he is afraid that this news will reach Yuan Shao's ears, causing him to attack him recklessly and cut off his development path!
Because these two reforms were too big a sensation, he couldn't block the news at all. Even if he could stop Qu Yuanli's theory from leaking, he couldn't stop the fact that the people in Cao Cao's territory lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Now there is even a child in the city with an innocent smile on his face every day, how could Yuan Shao fail to find out?
While Cao Cao was thinking about how to develop obscenely, at the same time, if there is no accident, there will be an accident!

At this moment, Yuan Shao who is in the Bohai Sea!

As early as half a year ago, he got the news that Cao Cao would cut taxes and invent new farm tools!

At that time, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that Cao Cao was confusing the public and deliberately letting him relax his vigilance!
There must be a battle between him and Cao Cao, which has become a fact that everyone agrees to!

This battle!Who will win the man who will establish the northern hegemony!

Instead of raising taxes, Cao Cao cut taxes instead?

As soon as the news came, Yuan Shao immediately retorted!

Only fools do this kind of thing!Get everyone ready for battle!
However the result is...

In the past six months, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses and the city were full of tension and fear. The nerves were tense day and night, and everyone was going crazy!

On the other hand, Cao Cao ate well and slept soundly, and there was no delay in recruiting and training, and his power was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Now Yuan Shao couldn't sit still, he was so angry that he scolded Cao Cao for not talking about martial arts, draining his army's morale!

Immediately, everyone was called to discuss the matter!

But the three of them, Xu You, Guo Tu and Tian Feng, agreed surprisingly this time!
can not fight!
"My lord, now Cao Cao's morale is high and his soldiers are strong. Now we are going to war. On the other hand, our soldiers have been walking on thin ice every day for the past six months. When morale is exhausted, I think you should also recharge your energy and find another time, my lord!"

In the lobby, Xu You respectfully remonstrated with Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao pondered for a moment after hearing this, "But now that Cao Cao is developing faster and faster, I was really worried that his power would become bigger and bigger, and it would become difficult at that time!"

Guo Tu smiled disdainfully after hearing this,
"My lord, you don't need to be so worried. Let's not say that Cao Cao's power is far inferior to your lord. You can see that Cao Mengde's reputation is purely in vain just by the reduction of his gifts. Just imagine that an enemy like you, my lord, is on his head. Looking at it like a tiger's eye, he cuts taxes instead of raising taxes, does he mean he is arrogant or has no brains?"

"Not bad!"

Tian Feng also agreed, "My lord, even if Cao Cao goes as smoothly as the rumors say, can he gather an army of 70 like your lord in a short period of time? It's absolutely impossible!"

"I have lived for more than 30 years, and I have never seen anyone who reduced taxes before the war. So is Cao Su, who has been blown into a fairy-like figure recently. I really think that a so-called new farm tool can solve Cao Cao's conflict The gap between the protagonist? It's ridiculous!"

"As far as I can see, this is nothing more than a cover that Cao Cao wants to cover up!"

Hearing their analysis, Yuan Shao felt relieved a lot, and immediately asked, "Then what should I do now according to what you see? Even if Cao Cao is bluffing, he can't be allowed to develop like this, right?"

"Of course not!"

Xu You said at this time, "If you don't fight now, it doesn't mean you won't fight in the future, and you must not let Cao Cao continue to develop. My lord just needs to give the army a little time to adjust their interest. When Cao Cao's energy is over, he can send his troops south. Break through Xuchang in one fell swoop, save the emperor, and unify the great cause of the north!"

"With a 70-strong army, it will take nearly a year to adjust. Could it be that we are doing nothing during this time?"

Yuan Shao frowned, obviously dissatisfied with his advice!

But Xu You smiled leisurely, stroked his beard and said, "How could it be possible to do nothing? My lord, I have already prepared a plan for you, please listen to the next sentence..."
