Murong Wei did not hesitate to strike the Yin Household (Total 401)
These things are the most important in the Zizhi Tongjian
Murong Wei, the lord of Former Yan, deposed the princes and nobles from their private households, amounting to 200,000.
The so-called "shade household" is sheltered by the homes of the rich and noble. In feudal society, bureaucrats, nobles, landlords, and gentry relied on the power to control the households. Slaves and servants of the Eastern Han Dynasty, tenants of Wei and Jin, and zhuang guests after the middle of the Tang Dynasty were all shade households. The population of the shade household is not included in the national household registration, so it is also called "hidden household"
At that time, in the northeast alone, as many as 200,000 households were concealed by the magnates, resulting in these people not accepting public conscription. If the number of households belonging to the state decreases, then the tax and servitude of the household registration population under the state will naturally be heavier, so the burden on the household registration population will be too heavy.
This is because former Yan, as the initial state of the Yidi clan, was not in order from top to bottom, and the tribes below divided and divided up the households according to their own strengths and weaknesses, and regarded these households as their own property.

To this end, Murong Wei heeded the advice of Shangshu Zuo's servant Yue Yuexuan and returned the households to the state through picket reports, which were registered and managed by the counties and counties. The move led to a wave of resentment among bureaucrats at all levels throughout the country. Those who discuss history believe that this is the reason for the demise of the Former Yan state.
However, Murong Wei's demise was due to his suspicion of Murong Chui, who fled and defected, which led to a split and failure, and was not at all due to his move to depose Yinhu.
The Former Qin state did not have a regular law and discipline, so although such a measure was taken to eliminate the accumulated shortcomings, the harm was already far-reaching and difficult to cure, so the Former Qin emperor Jian Jian used benevolence and righteousness as a slogan to impress the people's hearts and minds, and soon swept through the territory of Former Yan. From this point of view, Yuexuan's proposal is regrettable because it was put forward too late, and because it cannot perfectly propose a package of policies and strategies.
alas! Is it not only the country built by the Yidi tribe that has no discipline to produce such an outcome?
The unification of the people's strength of the four seas in China can be completely satisfied with the use of the world and protect the Jiangshan Community. However, once the people's strength is not owned by the state, and the people are not up to the people themselves, then some people may become thieves who endanger the country because they are bored. For example, the emperor's close relatives, foreign relatives, as well as generals who hold high positions by buying and selling officials, as well as old courtiers with meritorious achievements, are all patrons that these foolish civilians and soldiers can rely on. Such people get nothing for nothing, waste their national strength, and pass on the burden to the commoners of the state household registration.
Liu Zhongxuan, one of the three gentlemen of the Ming Dynasty, took action to prevent Yin hu from encroaching on the interests of the state, and when he searched for evidence and found that some people used state soldiers as domestic slaves, it caused an uproar, caused resentment and slander from all sides, and finally failed because of strong obstruction.
The monarchs of the Ming Dynasty were also enlightened, and the ministers were loyal, but in the end they could not implement reform measures against the bad habits of the "shadow households" and eliminate such drawbacks, because the relationship between kinship and alienation was entangled, and the relationship between the state and the individual was seriously deviated.
In the face of the fierce reactions and gossip of the princes and nobles, what did a mere Liu Zhongxuan do!
This was regarded as nothing more than a grudge between people who did nothing more than national security, so the monarchs of Huaxia were often unable to treat it prudently, and they were not as bold and capable as Murong Wei, the lord of the Qiang state. Murong Wei specially formulated relevant laws that year, and treated them cautiously from the beginning, and it was definitely not a headache to wait until a problem occurred before dealing with it. When it came to Liu Zhongxuan, it was necessary to legislate specifically, and it was not enough to rely on the practices left by the ancestors alone.
Throughout the history of China, monarchs who lived in the middle of a dynastic history had never seen a monarch who could handle the problem of the vulva without doubt like Murong Wei. Therefore, there are very few emperors in the world who can persist in political clarity for a long time.
