Timeline

1. 1167–1174Northeast Circuit and relocated meng'an-mouke areas · NortheastAfter the great Song-Jin wars, mouke household counts far exceeded the 300-household standard set under Aguda, and Hailing Wang had granted meng'an and mouke titles without merit. Although Shizong merged some units in Dading 7 and dismissed unmeritorious appointees, the disorder remained fundamentally unresolved.
2. 1175Jin Zhongdu · North ChinaShizong decreed that each mouke hold no more than 300 households and that one meng'an be set for every seven to ten mouke, reaffirming that meng'an-mouke posts must be filled by Jurchens. By the Dading 23 census there were 202 Jurchen meng'an and 1,878 mouke; household counts still slightly exceeded the limit, but the organizational standard was re-established.
