When we mention the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the pair of old enemies, are always a topic that cannot be avoided, and the relationship between the two as old enemies is also very intriguing, and there is also a good story of cooking wine on heroes.
When we listen to the story of the Three Kingdoms, we often see the figure of wine in it, and in that era of heroes, it seems that fine wine has also made these heroes more vivid.
However, in real history, it was actually difficult to see fine wine in China at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and ordinary people would even be sentenced for making wine privately.
Yellow Turban Uprising
This is mainly because from the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, China's political situation entered a protracted turmoil, and the long war led to the displacement of hundreds of people, thus leaving production, which directly plunged the then underdeveloped productive forces directly into the bottom.
After that, the situation of warlord division continued the war for several decades, and most of the young and middle-aged people were pulled into the battlefield, which delayed the recovery of social productivity, and famine continued throughout the country, and countless people starved to death.
Faced with such a situation, how to ensure the production and supply of grain has become the most concerned thing for all the lords, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who are also masters, also put this matter in the first place in political work.

They put forward many suggestions for promoting agricultural development, and due to the different situations in Wei and Jihan, many of the measures were not the same, but in the aspect of prohibition of alcohol, the two were surprisingly unified.
This is mainly because the technology of winemaking was not very mature at that time, so the consumption of grain in the winemaking process was very amazing.
In the era of food shortage, this practice of wasting grain will undoubtedly aggravate social contradictions, so Cao Cao and Liu Beicai invariably cracked down on the development of the winemaking industry.
Cooking wine on heroes
In the process of prohibition, Cao Cao and Liu Bei both faced a lot of resistance, but the two of them chose to deal with the problem in the face of questioning is completely different, from which we can also see the difference in personality between the two.
When Cao Cao promulgated the prohibition on alcohol, he was not willing to directly expose the lack of food in the country, so he proposed to use the means of prohibition to rectify the social atmosphere on the grounds of social unrest and the decline of the world.
Cao Cao
After this order was promulgated, many people in the DPRK and China immediately came out to oppose it, especially the opinion of Kong Rong, the doctor of the Ether, who was the strongest.
Kong Rong said:
"The heavens have the stars of the wine flag, the counties of the wine springs, and the people have the virtue of the will to drink wine, so Yao does not drink a thousand chungs, and cannot become holy." And the destruction of the country by Israel, now the order can not help marriage also. ”
That is, to tell Cao Cao that wine was a gift from heaven, even a saint like Yao was very fond of drinking, and he did not make a mistake because of drinking.
And tyrants like Ji Lu are particularly in addition to drinking alcohol, which is obviously an important factor in the sinking of the chaotic atmosphere, so why don't you forbid the people to marry?

In addition, Kong Rong also pointed out to his face that the reason why Cao Cao proposed to ban alcohol was not for the so-called atmosphere at all, but actually to save grain.
This was originally a matter of reproach, but the officials in the court were not low-level people, and they did not feel deeply about the problem of food shortages, so many people also felt that Cao Cao was making a fuss, in fact, there was no need to ban alcohol, which made the implementation of prohibition encounter a lot of obstacles.
For some time after that, Kong Rong still held banquets at home with his friends and often got drunk, which made Cao Cao very dissatisfied, and finally found a crime of filial piety to execute Kong Rong, which also caused an uproar in the political arena.
After Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he suffered a major drought one year, and even Sichuan, which is known as the country of Tianfu, suffered a serious reduction in grain production.
In order to ensure the supply of rations for the army and the people, Liu Bei also issued a ban on alcohol like Cao Cao.
At that time, the officials of Shudi not only strictly guarded the brewing workshop, but even those who kept the tools of brewing in their homes were implicated, which made the people in Sichuan panic.
Once, when Liu Bei was traveling, he met a young man and woman on the road, and Jian Yong, who accompanied him, asked Liu Bei to quickly arrest these two people, because they were about to do something offensive.
Liu Bei was very curious about this, so he asked Jian Yong how he knew, Jian Yong said that because they also had tools, Liu Bei knew that Jian Yong was satirizing his previous overly strict prohibition methods, so he let his men put back the people who had been wrongly arrested before, and the tense atmosphere in Shudi had improved significantly.

Although there is a big difference between Kong Rong's level of direct advice and Jian Yong's satirical technique, we can still see the difference between Cao Cao and Liu Bei in political work, which also makes Wei and Ji Han have a completely different spiritual atmosphere.
As for the prohibition of alcohol, it was only a temporary measure made by Cao Liu and the two at that time, and the heroes who cooked wine naturally knew that the wine itself was not at fault, in fact, it was just a small black pot for the chaotic world.
