Origin Story
话说东汉末年，天下大乱，战火连绵，百姓流离失所，民不聊生。经过几十年的征战，曹操统一北方，奠定了魏国的基础。这时，曹操深感民生凋敝，便下令减轻赋税，鼓励耕种，发展生产，休养生息。他广开言路，虚心纳谏，选拔贤才，治理国家。在他的努力下，北方社会逐渐恢复了生机。后来，曹丕称帝，建立魏国，这与曹操之前的休养生息政策息息相关。
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, China was in great chaos. Wars raged, and the people were displaced and impoverished. After decades of fighting, Cao Cao unified the north and laid the foundation for the Wei kingdom. Recognizing the plight of his people, he ordered a reduction in taxes, promoted agriculture and production, and fostered a period of rest and recovery. He embraced advice, appointed capable officials, and governed wisely. His efforts gradually restored life to the north. Later, Cao Pi became emperor and established the Wei kingdom, a testament to Cao Cao's policies of recuperation and rebuilding.
