Cao Cao:

1, punish the strongman

When Cao Cao began to embark on his official career, he tried to use stricter laws to change the situation in which power and prestige were rampant at that time. Due to the disaster of the central government, Cao could not show his intention. It was not until he came to power himself that the policy of restraining arrogance was fully implemented.

2. Stabilize the situation

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was contested by the Xiliang Army, and all state and county pastoralists were striving for self-improvement and cutting off their tribute. The general situation in China is a warlord regime. The small court of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty was far from controlling the political situation. At this critical moment, Cao Cao kidnapped the desperate emperor and moved the capital to Xuchang, trying to pacify the northern heroes by force, so as to unify China and stabilize the political situation in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

3. Elite management is the best way to do this.

When selecting officials in the Han Dynasty, the candidates should not only have feudal moral qualities such as benevolence, righteousness and filial piety, but also have noble family background. Cao Cao does not pay attention to false reputation in employing people. He chooses officials because he knows the law and can govern the country according to law. In order to maintain and develop power and let more people serve their own careers, they are not limited by the above standards and emphasize "meritocracy". As long as he is talented, he pays attention to promotion even if he lacks feudal moral quality and comes from a lower class.

4. Respect the ceremony and respect the law.

Cao Cao's thought is influenced by Confucianism, and its foundation belongs to the category of Confucianism. He advocates benevolence, righteousness and propriety, and tries to educate the people and the administration with benevolence, morality and propriety, that is, "governing propriety first". On the other hand, the well-documented history of Cao Cao's attaching importance to the law and neglecting the technique, imposing severe punishment and strict law constitutes another important aspect of Cao Cao's thought.

Liu Bei:

1, postal construction

Liu Bei established the Shu-Han regime in Sichuan. At that time, Sichuan's traffic was relatively backward and there were many mountain roads. Liu Bei and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang made great contributions to the development of Sichuan postal service.

2. Build the Shu family

Shuzhi is the law. When Liu Beichu entered Sichuan, he left everything unsatisfactory, and ordered Xu Ci, Qian Hu, Meng Guang and Lai Min, who were familiar with the canon system and the old law at that time, to take charge of the old literature and create the canon system first. After pacifying Yizhou, they began to formulate codes, and the specific content of Shu branch has been lost. However, according to Zhuge Liang's biography, although Shu Han's law enforcement was strict, it was fair and the people did not complain.

Sun Quan:

1, encourage reclamation.

While carrying out military diplomatic activities and expanding territory, Sun Quan paid attention to developing production and enriching Qiang Bing. Soon after he took over from his brother, he began to farm. In the fifth year of Huang Wu (226), Lu Xun asked his generals to expand farmland and reclaim wasteland on the grounds that he was in a small valley. Sun Quan agreed to expand the reclamation area, change the cattle he drove into plowing cattle and encourage officials to open up wasteland.

2. Build water conservancy projects

Sun Quan attached importance to building water conservancy projects. In the second year of Huanglong (230), Dongxing Dike was built to contain the water in Chaohu Lake. In August of the eighth year of Chiwu (245), Sun Quan sent Chen Xun, a captain, to dig ditches and build granaries in Jurong City. In the 13th year of Chiwu (250), Tangyi Earth Pond (now Hu Liang Weir, Liuhe County, Jiangsu Province) was built. In addition, several canals have been dug, which are both inland waterways and irrigation functions.
