Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao, please answer the question!

It is no wonder that Xun Yu, Guo Jia and other advisers are willing to follow Cao Cao.

However, the reason why he was provoked by Zhuge Liang was because Cao Cao's reputation as a good wife spread too widely.

He was afraid that if he really let Sun Quan defect to Cao Cao, then he and Qiao would fall into Cao Cao's hands.

Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely convey it on my behalf."

He agreed not to let Zhuge Liang go to Cao Cao, but to make a plan out of his heart.

See if Zhuge Liang really followed Liu Bei, if not, why follow Liu Bei?It is better to follow his master Sun Quan.

With Wang Zuozhi's talent, plus myself, isn't the world within easy reach?

The two have their own thoughts.

……

【Please choose the topic for the second respondent】

Big characters appeared on the blackboard again.

Cao Cao sat still, he didn't want to answer the question so quickly, he wanted to read other people's questions before making a decision.

"Why don't Gongjin choose a question?" Cao Cao asked.

Zhou Yu smiled, and seemed to have the same idea as Cao Cao.

"I don't need it, why don't the prime minister go first?"

The two shied away, and it seemed that the only one left was Sima Yi who stayed in the corner and acted as a transparent person.

Cao Cao knew Sima Yi's talent.

Seven years ago, Cao Cao tried his best to attract Sima Yi, but Sima Yi denied it in every possible way, and later even came up with such a thing as pretending that he had gout and was bedridden.

At that time Sima Yi was still young, only 22 years old.

Now that Sima Yi is approaching his thirties, he is more stable and knowledgeable than at that time.

Such a talent, Cao Cao will definitely not let go.

He had already made up his mind that when he returned, he would be recruited as a literary officer. If he didn't respond and still pretended to be sick, then he would directly arrest the other party.

"Why not let Zhongda choose the topic!" Cao Cao said.

Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao, then at Zhou Yu, and decided to forget it, he couldn't afford to offend either of them.

"Okay, let me answer the second question."

He agreed, but it didn't matter to him whether he answered sooner or later, after all, his mind was not here.

When Sima Yi looked at the blackboard, three categories appeared on the blackboard again, and he saw his name at a glance, and panicked.

Turning to Cao Cao, he said, "Prime Minister, why not choose you for the second question."

He was showing his favor to Cao Cao, because since they could know the future here, of course they all wanted to know what they would do in the future.

Even Cao Cao is no exception.

Sima Yi himself also wanted to know what his future would be like, but under the watchful eyes of everyone and with "Jin Sima Yi" in front of him, he was naturally unwilling to ask.

"Sima Yi, this matter is up to you!" Cao Cao said.

Sima Yi?

Zhou Yu, who was sitting by the side, suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes.

He didn't know Sima Yi's real name, so he didn't care about him, but he also saw Sima Yi's name on the list just now.

Although it was only a glimpse, the opponent's ranking was quite high.

Sima Yi nodded and said, "I choose the topic about Prime Minister Cao!"

Chapter 8 Birth and Death Years

About Cao Cao's topic.

Not to mention Cao Cao himself, both Xun Yu and Zhou Yu were very interested.

[Question [-]: How many years did Cao Cao's birth and death years go to? 】

[a: 145 AD ~ 212 AD]

[b: 155 AD ~ 212 AD]

[c: 155 AD ~ 220 AD]

[d: 145 AD ~ 220 AD]

[e: 155 AD ~ 217 AD]

The year of the prime minister's birth and death!

This is another extremely important question, it is simply predicting the death of the prime minister.

Cao Cao fixed his eyes on the blackboard. He didn't expect the first question to be so tricky, which directly let him know when he would die.

No doubt this was one of his greatest concerns.

But the above answer did not make him happy.

Sima Yi said cautiously.

"This is the year of the prime minister's birth and death. Judging from the second question Xun Lingjun answered before, it should be 208 AD. Now the prime minister is 53 years old, which means that the prime minister's birthday is in 155 AD."

"So, the answers to a and d in this question can be rejected."

"The rest are the three answers b, c, and e. And the three answers have three different times, which are 212 years, 220 years, and 217 years."

"At most, but after 12 years, at least, after four years."

In other words, Cao Cao can't live more than 12 years, and the correct answer may even be a, Cao Cao will die after four years.

No, technically not even four years, because we are now at the end of 208.

If it is true, then this topic is simply fatal.

Will Cao Cao, who knows the time of his death, become crazy?

At this time, Cao Cao pressed his head, and his headache happened again.

Frowning deeply, he didn't speak.

This left Sima Yi at a loss as to what to do.

These three, no matter how you answer them, will definitely not be satisfactory answers.

"I choose c. Prime Minister Cao's birth and death years are from 155 to 220."

Since you don't know the correct answer, choose the longest one.

Regardless of whether it is correct or not, Cao Cao must not be evil.

【correct answer】

It turned out to be c, Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief, Cao Cao can live for 12 years, this result is considered good.

But Zhou Yu sighed, Cao Cao could still live for 12 years.

I don't know what the future will be like. If Cao Cao is alive, they will not be stable for a day.

"Do I still have 12 years to live?" Cao Cao let out a long breath.

12 years, whether it is long or not, is not short.

If he can live to be 65 years old before he dies, it will be regarded as the end of his life.

We must know that in this era, many people may not even live to be 40 years old.

As for the shortness, it is indeed short for this world.

It has been 12 years since we welcomed Emperor Xian Liu Che and served the emperor to get rid of the chaotic officials. However, there are still Sun Quan, Liu Bei and other chaotic officials trying to carve up the world.

In the future, the world will be divided into three parts. Can he use these 12 years to complete the unification?

[Second question: Which of the following is not a contribution made by Cao Cao? 】

[a: implementation of farmland, b: reform of household registration, c: unification of the north, d: construction of water conservancy, e: establishment of Shu Branch]

Which of the following is not?

In other words, only one of them was not contributed by Cao Cao.

Of the five above, which one is not a major event that benefits the world or one side?

Cao Cao looked at the answers above, pondered for a while and then spoke.

"Option a should mean that in the first year of Jian'an, I adopted the advice of Zaozhi and others, and used the materials captured from breaking the Yellow Turban to recruit people to farm in Xudu."

"It was very effective back then, and we got millions of dendrobiums. So I promoted this method and ordered the establishment of field officials in all states and counties to set up farmland. This is indeed the case!"

It has been 13 years since this incident, and because of this, Cao Cao has no shortage of food and grass now.

Zhou Yu also knew this, and even asked Sun Quan to follow Cao Cao's example.

Then Cao Cao continued: "Option b is that after I conquered Yecheng, in view of the heavy head tax in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was changed to household adjustment, and the rent for owner farmers and landlords was four liters per mu, and each household produced two horses of silk and cotton. Just two catties."

"Now it should have completely replaced the counting Fu and oral Fu. This is what happened 4 years ago!"

Although Cao Cao said it lightly now, in fact, household modulation has a great influence on future generations.

Until more than 200 years later, the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties still followed the user modulation.

From 485 A.D., after the Northern Wei Dynasty implemented the land equalization system, it was changed to levy taxes by Ding, and the household system was abolished from then on.

The introduction of household modulation has greatly reduced the pressure on farmers. Although it is not a merit that lasts for thousands of years, it still has merit for a century.

Xun Yu is the one who implements the above two standards. He said: "The Prime Minister introduced these two laws, and the people in the world will be rich, and they will no longer be troubled by hunger or threatened by taxes. It can be said that the prosperity of Emperor Wen's time has been restored."

"If it weren't for the war in the world, the prime minister would have achieved incomparable merit."

This is one of the places where Xun Yu is convinced of Cao Cao. Cao Cao cares about the world and the people, and he can do things for the people of the world.

The rare Xun Yu flattered Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at the third answer again.He said: "As for pacifying the north, that's what I've been doing all along, so I don't need to talk about that. After Chibi, I will lead my troops to attack Ma Teng and unify Liangzhou."

From the second year of Chuping to the 13th year of Jian'an.

In a total of 17 years, Cao Cao successively eliminated the separatist forces north of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and unified most of northern China.

Cao Cao's decision to unify the north not only laid the foundation for the Western Jin Dynasty to unify the world and the Great Xia, but also laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of the Western Regions in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

He continued: "The construction of water conservancy should be done by Liu Fu, the governor of Yangzhou. At this time, the original Qimen Weir has been restored, and then two more weirs are planned to be added to form Seven Gates and Three Weirs, which will expand the irrigation area to More than a thousand hectares."

Zhou Yu felt a little emotional after hearing this, because Shucheng, where Qimenyan is located, is his hometown.

Cao Cao asked Liu Fu to repair the water conservancy, which can indeed be regarded as a contribution to the people of the world.

"As for the final formulation of the Shu Branch, since the world will be divided into three parts in the future, and Liu Bei's big-eared thief establishes the Kingdom of Shu, he will naturally take the land of Shu. It should be the most impossible for me to formulate the Shu Branch." Cao Cao's analysis ends here.

Sima Yi bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Everything the prime minister does is for the benefit of all generations, please accept my worship!"

He had been living in Luoyang City before, so he didn't know much about the affairs of the world.

Now I know that Cao Cao is not a Cao thief who "holds the emperor to order the princes" like other people say.

"My answer is e. Prime Minister Cao was not the one who made the Shu Branch last."
