A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 319 Maximization of Common People's Benefits
"You go out first, I will call you if something happens!"

Cao Pi could see Sima Yi's thoughts at a glance, so he followed Sima Yi's wishes.

Here! "

Regarding Cao Pi's order, a small eunuch naturally did not dare to violate it.

So, just after Cao Pi gave the order, the eunuch bowed directly and left Cao Pi's bedroom backwards.

When the sound of closing the door came from not far away, Cao Pi and Sima Yi showed a slack expression almost at the same moment.

Cao Pi said: "Zhongda, it's just you and me here, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Sima Yi bowed again to salute, and Sima Yi almost didn't lose the etiquette he should have before reporting back to Cao Pi.

"Your Majesty, the minister's strategy for defeating the enemy is very simple, and it is nothing more than hoping that you, Your Majesty, can lead the conquest yourself!

It has been a while since Liu Bei went deep into Wei, if you can't do anything, Your Majesty, then I'm afraid this is not just a matter of chilling the hearts of the people!
Therefore, I implore Your Majesty, you must take this matter seriously, and the most effective solution is that Your Majesty, you can personally conquer and command the soldiers to fight Liu Bei! "

"This is what you call a strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Sima Yi's answer was obviously not the answer Cao Pi expected.

The so-called personal conquest by the imperial driver is not just the four words spoken.

If something unexpected happened to Cao Pi during this battle, then Wei State might experience a big storm.

As for such things as the royal conquest, it is not that Cao Pi has never thought about it. After all, when Sun Quan left, he had mentioned this matter to him!
Now, if Sima Yi brings up the old story again, it will inevitably make Cao Pi recall the words he said when Sun Quan was there!
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the most effective solution at present! As for whether it can defeat the enemy, although I am not 100% sure, but in terms of boosting the hearts of the people, I can assure you, Your Majesty!"

Sima Yi made the promise steadfastly, as if he had already seen everything clearly and was just waiting for Cao Pi to do it!

However, Cao Pi is not a fool after all, he will never just do what Sima Yi says.

After all, there are some things that must be firmly grasped before a decision can be made.

At present, there is a suggestion about the imperial conquest, which is enough for Cao Pi to think for a long time!
"Cough..." In the process of thinking, Cao Pi coughed lightly. Seeing this, Sima Yi hurriedly handed him a cup of tea, so that Cao Pi could relax.

Cao Pi took the teacup, took a sip, and put it aside.

At this moment, he was not in the mood to drink tea, and the coughing emotion in his heart was just expressed inadvertently!

"Your Majesty, be careful, you are the reliance of all of us, so I implore you to take care of your body!"

Sima Yi persuaded him respectfully, doing what eunuchs should do.

If this scene is in the eyes of others, it is even possible that Sima Yi will be regarded as Cao Pi's retainer.

"My body is fine! Just now I only considered the sensitive part, and I was a little anxious!

Who would have expected that he would cough up suddenly!After drinking tea just now, this feeling has been greatly alleviated!
And in the process of drinking tea, I also came to a new decision! "

While explaining the cough just now, Cao Pi brought the topic to another angle.

"Your Majesty, do you have any new ideas?"

Regarding Cao Pi's words, Sima Yi listened extremely carefully and carefully!
That's right, Sima Yi said he had a new decision, but as for what this decision is, he didn't mention it yet!
In short, at the moment, Cao Pi seems to have no intention of adopting Sima Yi's suggestion.

At least in Sima Yi's opinion, Cao Pi has made a more accurate choice!

Cao Pi nodded lightly, and Sima Yi's question just now was on point.

Cao Pi did think of a new solution. Although this solution was just his idea, in his opinion, it was safer than that of Yu Jia's personal conquest!
"I don't know if your Majesty can tell me your decision. Although I can't share your majesty's worries, you can at least share the joy for your majesty!"

Although Sima Yi knew that asking this question might cause trouble, but because of the desire in his heart, he finally asked this question!
And when he asked this question, although his head was lowered all the time, his eyes were still staring at Cao Pi from the corner of his eye!

Cao Pi smiled in a low voice, the dull voice was like a pressed air valve!
After the laughter, Cao Pi responded very clearly.

"Zhongda, you are too modest! I called you here today, but I definitely didn't want you to share my joy for me!
I have no way to make up my mind about any decision I make now!
And only at this time, your conclusions and suggestions can really help me! "

Cao Pi has made his thoughts very clear. It seems that even if Sima Yi doesn't ask him this question, he will tell Sima Yi what he thinks without hesitation!

Because as he said, he has no way to decide one thing alone now!
Therefore, in most cases, all his decisions may require others to help him make evaluation and analysis!

Hearing Cao Pi's words, Sima Yi hurriedly lowered his body, and asked Cao Pi in an extremely respectful manner, "May I ask your Majesty, what is the method you are referring to?"

Sima Yi asked directly, which was indeed in line with his character.

Although red tape has always been Sima Yi's duty, but in the face of important matters, red tape like this is not enough to stop Sima Yi's passion to find out the truth!
In the face of Sima Yi's inquiry, since Cao Pi already had the idea to tell Sima Yi, he naturally would not lie to Sima Yi!
Therefore, after Sima Yi asked this question, Cao Pi also directly gave the answer Sima Yi wanted!

"Just now I have been thinking, how can we change the current situation and make Wei State invincible?

Could it be that only a personal conquest by the royal driver can inspire the hearts of the people?On this point, I am not very clear!

After all, before things have been practiced, few people can come up with the answer!Even if it is obtained, it may be a false answer!
Therefore, I don't intend to think about this issue by myself, and make wild guesses!

And apart from the Royal Conquest, the only thing I can do now is to be more friendly to my own people!
Although it was in troubled times at that time, the taxation of the people has not been slowed down in the slightest!

If the taxation is the same in two countries, the citizens will naturally choose the country with less wars!
Whether it is the north or the south, under the influence of the flames of war, the people have already taken actions to escape the chaos of war!
Even if the place they mainly go to will be very different from the environment they were born and raised in, as long as they can avoid the chaos of war, then all of this will naturally not be a problem!

Now, although it is inevitable that the battlefield is set up in the territory of Wei State, it can be seen from this point how meticulous Liu Bei's mind is!
Now, the reason why he encircles and does not attack, and does not move, is to make us completely defeated without bloodshed!

And right now, what I want to destroy is his plan!
Zhongda, I want to completely exempt the citizens from taxes. First, for a period of three months, it will be implemented routinely throughout the territory of Wei State!

Whether it is the territory we previously owned, or the territory that has been occupied by Liu Bei!

As long as the common people live in the land of Great Wei, I will exempt them from taxes!
I want to use this method to directly turn Weijing into the most suitable place for people to live in the whole world!
Even if it is very possible that there will be another war here, even if there are many crises, as long as this order from Zhen is issued, it will definitely attract countless people to come!
Zhongda, what do you think of my decision? "

Cao Pi explained his thoughts in detail from the beginning to the end, and when it comes to words that are excited, he still has a tendency to dance!

And when he told Sima Yi all his thoughts, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that his task has been completed, and as for the follow-up execution, it will all be handed over to Sima Yi!

At present, after mischievously expressing his thoughts, Sima Yi couldn't calm down for a long time.

He never thought that Cao Pi would actually make such an important decision to exempt from taxes, what a terrible decision this is!

That's right, if this decision is made, it will definitely attract tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people to come!

However, the hidden dangers behind this decision cannot be ignored!
A large part of all the country's expenditures comes from the taxes of the people, but if the tax payment is exempted, it means that the country has completely lost its economic pillar!

And if this is the case, I am afraid that it will not be long before Cao Pi will no longer have the money to raise soldiers!
If it is considered from this perspective, then even if Cao Pi can attract the people, so what.

He lost the ability to raise soldiers and lost the qualification to guard the territory.

Even though he occupies the high position of the emperor, the common people only recognize an imperial court after all!

They may applaud, but as long as this adaptation period passes, I am afraid that tax exemption will become a common thing for the common people!
Even if the time comes, Cao Pi regrets and wants to resume taxation again, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult!
