After reading "Ten Strategies for Governing the Country", Cao Cao handed it to Cheng Yu, Mao Jue, Jiang Ji, and Man Chong...... These civil and military ministers, they closed their eyes and pondered, but after circling around, except for heavier breathing, everyone still didn't say a word!

Speaking from the heart, Xiao Yi's "Ten Strategies for Governing the Country" - long-term vision and comprehensive aspects, is indeed a good way to reassure the people, enrich the country, and strengthen the army, but it is really difficult to implement.

First of all, it is the issue of reducing troops, since the chaos in the world, the princes have been fighting constantly, everyone is recruiting troops and buying horses, desperately expanding their strength, let's just say that within the Cao Ying Group, Cao Cao has a tiger and leopard horse, Xiao Yi has a Xuanjia army, and the rest of the generals also have their own subordinates!

Soldiers and horses are the foundation of generals, but also the guarantee of glory and wealth, cutting the soldiers and horses of these generals, is like asking for their lives, if it provokes a mutiny, how to end it?

The second is the problem of money and food, the people of the Central Plains are exhausted, and the reduction and exemption of land taxes and labor for one year can indeed stabilize the people's hearts, and then quickly quell the civil uprising!

But the treasury is empty, and there is no more land income for another year, how to pay hundreds of officials, how to raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and how to relieve the people of the disaster?

Open the history books and take a look, there is no shortage of this kind of thing, the rulers formulate a perfect strategy, want to make the country rich, the people are safe, but it is really implemented, the effect is just the opposite, it makes the people miserable, the most typical is Wang Mang......

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the imperial court was politically corrupt, the powerful and extravagant, and the powerful landlords annexed a large number of lands, which made the people displaced, lived in hardship, and there was serious social turmoil!

After Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, in order to alleviate social contradictions, he implemented a series of new policies: the restoration of the ancient well-field system and the redistribution of land; release official and private slaves and slaves, and strictly prohibit human trafficking; It also reformed the currency, bureaucracy, and taxation systems...... Nationalize iron, wine, and salt and increase the revenue of the state treasury!

These policies are all beneficial to the country and the people, but the methods, sequences, and times that can be implemented are not right, and they are too hasty, and the result is counterproductive, further aggravating social turmoil, making the people's lives even poorer, and finally a peasant uprising broke out, and the new reckless regime died in eight years!

"Da Sima has the courage of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, as well as the strategies of Lu Wang and Zhang Liang, but unfortunately no one is perfect, and in terms of governing the country, it is really unsatisfactory!"

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, you can't be sick, you can't be small, and you can't turn it frequently, if you let Da Sima take charge of national politics, I'm afraid the iron pot can poke a big hole!"

……………………

The civil and military ministers didn't say anything, they were shaking their heads desperately in their hearts, and they all had serious doubts about the "Ten Strategies for Governing the Country" and Xiao Yi's ability to govern!

Xiao Yi has a record of appeasing the hungry, controlling the locust plague, and killing corrupt officials, and they are all doing well, which are just local affairs and cannot be compared with national politics.

In other words, they think that Xiao Yi has full marks in military affairs, full points in strategy, and only six points in politics, and if he is an administrative official, a state pastor is the limit, and he does not have the ability to master the whole situation!

In the face of everyone's suspicious eyes, Xiao Yi smiled and said nothing, the things in the country's major politics are often the difference of a millimeter, and in the end, who is right and who is wrong, it has to be proved by practice!

It is difficult to reduce troops and tax exemptions, but the two are combined, and there is no 'guilty order' to make it difficult, that is the most difficult level to pass in the "Ten Strategies for Governing the Country"!

The failure of the southern expedition, the people's uprising, the Cao Ying group was in turmoil, in the final analysis, it was Cao Cao's problem, he was too eager to unify the world, and as a result, he rashly waved his army south, coupled with improper employment, lack of wisdom in strategy, and disorderly advance and retreat, which suffered a series of fiascos!

It is undeniable that Cao Cao is a responsible person, who has encountered failures in the past, and never blames others, but admits that he used the wrong plan, thought the wrong thing, or killed the wrong person!

But when he admitted his mistakes, they were all at the internal military and political meetings, and only a few important ministers knew, and after everyone comforted them, they would never reveal a word to the outside world, so as not to affect the prestige of the prime minister, and then bring great disaster to himself, because the traitorous male character is too complicated, although the mind is big, the heart is small!

Xiao Yi's "Ten Policies for Governing the Country" is different, promulgating the 'Guilty Order' and issuing it to all states and counties, which is equivalent to letting Cao Cao admit his mistakes to the world, which is equivalent to slapping his face with the sole of his shoe?

The people here are all men, and they understand the psychology of men best, they can not be officials, they can not want money, but they can't be shameless, whoever dares to slap me in the face, I will take someone's life!

Wu Zixu, Bai Qi, Li Mu...... They are all loyal ministers and good generals, but all of them have fallen to the ground, because they have a strong personality and touch the dignity of the superiors, and as a result, they have lost their lives, and they will not forget the past, and they will be the teachers of the future!

"Whew! --Call! Call! ”

Cao Cao's face sank like water, his breathing was short, the five fingers of his right hand kept rubbing, he touched the Yitian Sword several times, and reluctantly took it back, he really moved to kill!

Cao Cao has the courage to take responsibility, but he takes the initiative to admit his mistakes, and being forced by others to admit his mistakes is completely different things, this is the same as drinking, he is in a comfortable mood when he drinks, and it is difficult for others to drink!

The dignified Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty and the Duke of Wei have been dominating the world for decades, from the Son of Heaven to the common people, who is not bowing their heads to the ear, but now they are forced to admit their mistakes, is it tolerable or unbearable?

If he goes back three or five years, Cao Cao will definitely pull out his sword and cut the black-faced guy on the side, even if he doesn't hack him to death, he will have to be seriously injured, and he will take a bad breath out of his chest!

It's a pity that time has passed, he is old and decrepit, his prestige has declined, and he is unable to take charge of national affairs.

What's more, people work hard, just helped themselves deal with housework, and now they draw their swords against each other, which is a bit unreasonable, it is really hateful and loved!

"Saving the people is like fighting a fire, there can be no delay for a moment, if you follow the "Ten Strategies for Governing the Country", how long will it take to quell the civil uprising, and how long will it take to enrich the country and strengthen the army?"

Forcibly suppressing the anger, Cao Cao finally spoke, political activities seem to be profound, but in fact they are an exchange of interests, and they can admit their mistakes, provided that there are enough interests!

To put it bluntly, a man has no country, so what kind of face can he talk about, Gou Jian lives as a slave, and Liu Bang escapes...... It's all about changing the country with face, who dares to say anything, the 'guilty order' can be issued by himself, and Xiao Yi has to make a guarantee, how long will it take to turn the situation around?

"Three months to stabilize the hearts of the people, half a year to quell the civil uprising, three years of a slight surplus in the treasury, five years later can enrich the country and strengthen the army, if the end of the general can not do it, I am willing to sacrifice the head!"

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!"

"May there be a military order!"

"Smack! -Syllable! -Syllable! ”

Xiao Yi knew in his heart that he had offended the traitor again, but the political game was like this - one eliminates the other's strengths, and if you don't advance, you will retreat, so he stretched out his palm!

Cao Cao also stretched out his hand and hit him three times, he had always doubted Xiao Yi's loyalty and his character, but he never doubted his ability, "Ten Strategies for Governing the Country" can calm the world!

Since the two emperors of Huan and Ling, the discipline of the imperial court has been relaxed, and the relatives and eunuchs have been in power, so that the four seas are boiling, and the people's grievances are soaring......

Since the relocation of the capital to Xuchang, the prime minister is the son of heaven, the people are under peace, the barren fields are used to fill the treasury, and the horses are accumulated to ask for no ministers, after more than ten years, finally the Central Plains is flattened, but the war cannot be fought for many years, the people are inevitably tired, and the treasury is also empty......

Since the prime minister came to power, he has been slightly rebellious, making the world miserable, and he cannot regret it. ’

Cao Cao held the pen in his hand, personally wrote a guilty decree, and then stamped the golden seal of the prime minister and the treasure of the Duke of Wei, so that people immediately promulgated all states and counties in the world!

There is no shortage of well-educated people here, and after reading it, they all look at each other, and this guilty decree -- the words are sincere, the content is detailed, and it also reflects the sincerity of admitting mistakes, but some of the wording in it obviously draws on the famous "Luntai Guilty Edict".

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a man of great talent, and after he took charge of the country, he politically appointed good ministers, suppressed local powerful forces, and strengthened the central group; Militarily, famous generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were used to chase the Xiongnu in the north, operate the Western Regions, and open up thousands of miles of land!

However, after years of war, the treasury was empty, the people were miserable, and a popular uprising broke out in the Kanto region, and the world was falling apart, which was very similar to the current situation of the Cao Ying group, all of them were sitting on the crater and could be crushed at any time!

At the critical moment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took out great courage and issued a "Luntai Guilty Edict", reviewed the mistakes to the subjects of the world, and obtained the understanding of the world. ’

Cao Cao's 'guilty decree', not so much a reference, is more plagiarism, in which 'what is done is crazy, so that the world is miserable, can not be repented, since this matter has hurt the people, waste the world, all of them' a few sentences, and "Luntai Guilty Edict" is exactly the same!

A traitor is a traitor, the political methods are so old and spicy, when admitting mistakes, he didn't forget to brush his reputation, is this an example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or is it a self-proclaimed Emperor Wu of the New Dynasty?

Anyway, Cao Cao gave an order to sin and admit his mistakes, and next, it's time for Xiao Yi to take action, quell the rebellion of the people in the Central Plains, and then enrich the country and strengthen the army!
