The date of birth and death is unknown, and he was a native of Yingchuan Yangzhai at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He once served as Dong Aling, Yulin Supervisor, Tuntian Governor, Chen Liutaishou and other positions.

Because of his untimely death, there are limited historical records about his life and deeds, but he initiated it

"Tuntian system

However, it occupies an extremely important position in the history of the political, economic, and military development of Chinese society. The date of birth of Zaoqi is no longer verifiable, and the earliest record of his activity dates from the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty (184-189). In the sixth year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty (189), the struggle between the last relatives and the eunuch group broke out within the Eastern Han Dynasty. After the general He Jin was killed by the eunuchs, his subordinates completely annihilated the eunuch group. Dong Zhuo, the governor of the state, led the Xiliang soldiers into Beijing, abolished the young emperor Liu Wei, set up the emperor Liu Xie, and appointed himself as the prime minister of the country, monopolizing the government. His approach caused great resentment among the military groups of wealthy landlords that had developed in the course of suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion throughout the Kanto region. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and other representatives of the powerful landlords in the eastern part of the country fled from Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, and organized forces in various places, preparing to contend with Dong Zhuo by force. At that time, Cao Cao also organized an armed force of 5,000 people in Chenliu to prepare for a crusade against Dong Zhuo. It was at this time that Zao Yi ran to Cao Cao's command and Cao Cao

After he joined Cao Cao, Yuan Shao was also greedy and wanted to get it, and sent people to refute Zaoyi many times, but he categorically refused. Zaoyi's loyalty moved Cao Cao very much, so he won Cao Cao's respect. It was initiated and implemented by Zao

"Tuntian system

Under the historical conditions of the rapid expansion of the power of powerful landlords in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the feudal state competed with powerful landlords for control over the landless and displaced people, and restricted the powerful landlords from seizing land indefinitely. It not only played a certain positive role at that time, but also set a precedent for later generations to integrate soldiers with peasants and soldiers, which was imitated by the feudal ruling classes of later dynasties to varying degrees, and occupied an important position in the history of China's political, economic, and military development. Zao Yi unfortunately died early, and later Cao Cao remembered his merits and posthumously awarded him the title of county guard, and at the same time ordered his son to be knighted and sacrificed to Zao. Cao Cao said that the result of Daxing Tuntian was

"Abundant military, destroy the rebellion, subdue the world, and the royal family

This is the credit of Zaoyi, yes

"Immortal things

“。 Give full affirmation to the achievements of Zaoyi.
