When zhuge liang is mentioned, everyone must have heard about it. He was admired by many people, but I don't know if everyone noticed that the Seven Heroes of the Warring States had not lacked grain for two hundred years, and zhuge Liang was always short of grain. We all know that the Warring States period was also a very turbulent era, but there was never such a shortage of grain, but why did Zhuge Liang lack military food as soon as he fought? The reason is simple, the root of the problem is still in the system.
According to historical records, during the Warring States period, because they often had to go to war with other countries, basically all their forces had to serve the military. Under such a grand policy, people devote all their strength to raising the country's army. So that's it. If once a war is fought, then the strength of the state will be depleted very quickly, so why has there been no shortage of food for the army? So let's take a look.
In fact, the reason for this phenomenon is mainly because of institutional problems. No one will raise a soldier for no reason, which means to talk about the Korean military service system, they are the same, the average man has to go to military service, after the expiration of the period to go home. If you are needed in a war in a country, then you must go to the battlefield. I think this system is very worth learning, first of all, it can solve the problem of lack of troops. Secondly, you can also do farm work in the field, and nothing needs to be abandoned. Because, after completing military service, you can go home and do your own thing, and you can live the life you want.
Therefore, the problem of grain production will also be well solved. Of course, there is plenty of food. On the other hand, the Shu state was very different from the military system of the Warring States. During the Three Kingdoms period, soldiers became a lifelong profession, which is also a profession. The state has to invest a lot of money and material resources to train these soldiers, and these soldiers are very strong in combat and very united. If the combat effectiveness is good, then a lot of food is needed to maintain this physical strength.
We certainly know that raising a soldier requires a lot of investment, they need a lot of equipment to enhance their combat effectiveness, and they are always ready for battle. Usually, I don't do anything other than training. As a result, fewer people are engaged in agriculture, but the need for food is increased. Therefore, food will gradually be scarce. This is also a major heart disease of Zhuge Liang. This drawback existed in several countries of the Three Kingdoms, and Cao Cao had a great vision of the times, and he hoarded grain early and accumulated a large amount of grain and financial resources. When Zhuge Liang knew that this problem was very late, so he died before he could implement it, which was a great pity.
