What influence did Cao Cao and Zhu Yuanzhang have on society when they opened up the military field?

The so-called reclamation order is to let idle troops reclaim land and grow crops in the local area. It can be said that this has greatly reduced the state's expenditure on the army and directly solved the phenomenon of insufficient food and grass when the army went out to war. It also solved the problem of idleness of the army when there was no war. It can be said that the role of military reclamation is still obvious.

The military reclamation of Cao Cao and Zhu Yuanzhang had a great impact on society. First of all, military reclamation has played a great role in the government's development of frontier wasteland, which can be said to promote the government's development of remote areas. Moreover, with the army's land reclamation, this has made the policy of raising people's interest more perfect, made the farmland wasteland abandoned in the war blossom again, and repaired some damaged water conservancy facilities. It can be said that this made a material guarantee for the consolidation of the imperial regime at that time.

However, the reclamation order also has its shortcomings. In the Cao Wei era, he paid a very high reclamation tax. Before the war, people only needed a bite to eat. Therefore, under high taxes, most people are willing to reclaim land. Later, the war situation gradually stabilized, and such a high rent would make the people and some soldiers stop. Moreover, this high tax has also caused some social unrest. But generally speaking, military reclamation promoted the economic development of the society at that time, and also promoted the recovery of the social population after the war, which made great contributions to the development and utilization of border land in the country.

Generally speaking, the advantages of reclaiming farmland outweigh the disadvantages.
