Extended data:

Chai Rong, originally from a wealthy family, defected to his uncle Guo Wei and became his adopted son. In order to support his family, when he was young, he sold tea in Jiangling with businessman Jie Shidie. In 947, Liu Zhiyuan proclaimed himself emperor, founded the later Han Dynasty, and later captured Kaifeng as the capital.

Guo Wei, who helped Liu Zhiyuan claim the title of emperor, was promoted to Si Tuleideng, the deputy envoy and proofreader of the Tang Dynasty, and became the general of the commander-in-chief army, with the rank of Prime Minister. Guo Wei in the heyday of the later Han Dynasty, adopted son Chai Rong rose step by step, from general Zuo Jian to commander Tian Xiongya, leading the secretariat of Guizhou and correcting his right servant.

Later, Liu Chengyou, the son of Liu Zhiyuan who succeeded to the throne, suspected that Guo Wei, who was a soldier, had infidelity and killed Guo Wei and Chai Rong's family who stayed in Beijing. Guo Wei was forced to rebel, became emperor on his own, and established the Zhou Dynasty (known as the "Hou Zhou" in history).

Guo Wei entrusted Chai Rong to govern Qi, and Chai Rong has greatly demonstrated his political talent. His territory is "clean and honest, thieves don't invade the territory, and officials and people depend on each other." In the first year of Xiande (954), Guo Wei died, and Chai Rong, king of Jin, became emperor in front of the coffin.

Chai Rongzhi is ambitious. He once asked Zuo Jian's doctor wang pu, "How many years can I be?" Wang Pu replied: "I am an official and need to push with what I have learned. After 30 years, I don't know. "

Chai Rong was very happy to hear this: "If Qing said, ten years will open the world, ten years will support the people, and ten years will be peaceful!"

Chai Rong knows right from wrong, smart and capable. Less than ten days after he acceded to the throne, the Northern Han Dynasty colluded with the Khitan to go south, and Chai Rong squeezed through the crowd to discuss personal expedition. He recruited warriors to join the imperial army and chose him to lead the army.

When the battle was about to begin, Fan Aineng and others took the lead to escape, and Zhou Jun was in critical condition. At this point, Zhao Kuangyin, who was in charge of the imperial army, commanded his companions to ride into the enemy striker, and attacked Hedong City himself, beating the Northern Han Army out of the water.

After moving troops back to camp, Chai Rong immediately gave strict rewards and punishments, appointed Zhao Kuangyin as Duke of Hou Yu and the secretariat of Yanzhou in front of the temple, and executed all 70 generals who feared death.

On one occasion, Chai Rong led an army to attack Nantang by water. There is a section of the river that cannot be dredged. The accompanying generals said: Once the river is dredged, the river will definitely flow backwards, and the safety of personnel will become a problem.

Chai Rong said nothing, but made a survey with lively gesticulations. A few days later, he sent a letter with detailed construction methods. According to this action, the river was dredged safely and the army was able to advance on time.

Chai Rong acceded to the throne, vigorously rectify the bureaucracy. First, he reformed some drawbacks of the imperial examination and boldly selected talents. Then he severely punished corrupt officials. If an old friend of the biological father violates the law, it shall also be dealt with according to the regulations. Several officials took the opportunity to travel in the name of the ambassador and were demoted by him.

After Chai Rong ascended the throne, he also ordered people to amend the law, formulated the "Big Week Punishment System", and abolished the provisions of arbitrary execution and torture during the years.

He sent people to clean prisons, wash shackles and handcuffs, provide prisoners with adequate meals, allow relatives and friends to visit sick prisoners, treat prisoners without reliable relatives, and stipulate that officials who kill prisoners privately must be beheaded. This awareness of human rights was extremely rare at that time.

Chai Rong is very kind to the admonishers. He once wrote a letter to his ministers and asked more than 20 Hanlin scholars to write two articles, one is "It's not easy to talk about you" and the other is "Ping Bian Ce". Once he finds any desirable idea, he will immediately adopt it. Among them, some of his major decisions on "Pingbian" were to listen to Wang Pu's opinions.

During Chai Rong's reign, he never killed a minister because of his sharp words.

As an emperor who came from the bottom of society and had business experience, Chai Rong's economic policy also complied with the people's hearts. During the Five Dynasties, wars were frequent, many people died or fled, and many lands were deserted and ownerless.

Chai Rong stipulates that whoever cultivates in these ownerless lands will own the harvest. Land owners return within three years and return part of the land; Come back within five years and return one-third of the land; Come back five years later, the title deed is invalid and the land belongs to the cultivator.

If the land is abandoned because of avoiding the Khitan, the landlord will come back within five years and return two-thirds of the land; Come back in ten years, still half of the land; Come back ten years later, the land certificate will be invalid and the land will be owned by the cultivator.

This policy fully mobilized the enthusiasm of farmers, which not only fed a large population, but also increased the national tax revenue.
