===Agriculture===
In 194, there was a terrible famine. To prevent future famines, Cao Cao put refugees and unused soldiers to work in large farms. These farms supplied soldiers in the field and gave poor refugees an opportunity to work.
===Law===
Cao Cao and his advisors wrote a new code of laws which is sometimes known as the Wei Constitution, though it was not called that at the time. These laws defined the powers held by the Prime Minister and his officers. Although far ahead of his time, it is likely that Cao Cao ignored parts of it during his campaign. Only parts of the code exist today.<ref>http://www.gmw.cn/03pindao%5Crenwu/2004-05/04/content_20827.htm</ref>
