China's ancient warlords were divided into chaos, especially in the three countries, the warlord forces were very serious, resulting in the people's livelihood, people's living standards were relatively low, most of the men were engaged in the battlefield, and the economic income was greatly reduced, leaving the old, weak, sick and disabled at home, and even women would be forcibly sent into the team.
The person who was more powerful in the Three Kingdoms belonged to Cao Cao, and of course Liu Bei was also very powerful. However, in contrast, Cao Cao's strength was better than Liu Bei's. Of course, most of the characters we know are in the war they stand out, then, let people be more curious, Cao Cao where so much money for the army to fight, we know that the most expensive war is money, personnel and materials, without these conditions the army is impossible to support, and this fund is not a small amount, after all, to feed so many people in the army, but also a lot of money to buy weapons, which is more difficult to supply.
Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao's troops with weak troops at that time, but it is known that he did have great talent in leading the military. However, Cao Cao was also very clever, he knew how to recruit soldiers and horses, and he specialized in currying favor with rich aristocrats, so that he could rely on them to provide funds and reduce his own pressure.
However, Cao Cao's background is not simple, his grandfather Cao Teng was a eunuch who was favored by the previous emperor, because over the years, his grandfather also accumulated more funds, and the power was also relatively large, and although Cao Cao was not related to him by blood, he was also his descendant after all, so he was also valued by others, so that Cao Cao's recruitment was much easier, so it didn't take long for Cao Cao to recruit more than 5,000 troops, which was very much more at that time. Moreover, Cao Cao, who was still a fledgling student, was already able to recruit so many people, or he still had to have a certain skill!
The reason why Cao Cao's army was able to have financial support was to rely on lieutenants who touched the gold, which was a relatively common method in ancient times. And next, Xiaobian and everyone talk about Liu Bei's road to getting money, and everyone may not believe it when they say it! At first, the army led by Liu Bei was not enough to divide the money because of the contradiction of interests, after all, the money obtained was not enough, just when all this was difficult to solve, a man named Liu Ba thought of a way, he said to Liu Bei, reissuing a new currency to replace the original five baht money in the market, after all, no one will know how much the actual amount is worth, and this is his own internal issuance, and then, then the original five baht coin in the market is exchanged for new currency, so that you can earn a lot of military expenses, because the benefits of this are relatively large, so Liu Bei adopted.
