Why did the young man in the standing wood at the south gate of Shang Ying smile

The ancients said: People cannot stand without trust, and the country is not strong without trust. Integrity is the foundation of a country's strength.

After reading "Shang Ying Limu Takes Letters" in "Knowing Honor and Disgrace and Tree New Wind", I have a deeper understanding of the meaning of this sentence. I also learned that "integrity" is a quality that is more precious than gold. In this article, "Shang Yang Limu Takes Letters", it is mainly written about Shang Yang Limu to highlight that only by being honest with others, others will treat you with sincerity and help you.

Let's take a look!

In 361 BC, the state of Qin was very backward and deserted. At this time, Qin Xiaogong, the new monarch of Qin, succeeded to the throne. This monarch has great talents, and he is determined to restore the country and make it strong.

Reading this, I breathed a long sigh of relief and rejoiced in the good monarch. However, I am worried again, even if the king has the determination to restore the country, who will help him restore the country? Let's look down.

Qin Xiaogong gave an order: as long as someone can make the country rich and strong, let him be a big official. Later, a young man named Wei Ying met with Qin Xiaogong and talked to Qin Xiaogong about his method of enriching the country.

The more the two talked, the more energetic they became, and they even forgot to eat. Reading this, a big question mark burst out in my heart, can this young man really get rich? How did he gain the trust of the people?

To solve the problem, let's take a look! The next day, a piece of wood appeared at the south gate, and a notice was posted next to it: If anyone carries the wood to the north gate, he will be rewarded with ten taels of gold.

What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd? It's hard to guess! Seeing that there was no one to carry the wood, Wei Ying increased the bounty to fifty taels!

People are talking louder. I'm also more different. There will be a brave man under the heavy reward, and a man rushes out, picks up the wood and leaves.

Seeing this, Wei Ying really gave him gold. Everyone discussed one after another, and everyone thought that Wei Ying was credible, so they assisted him in governing the country, and the Qin State became rich and strong. Qin Xiaogong also kept his promise and gave Wei Ying fifteen Cheng Chi, and from then on, everyone called Wei Ying Shang Ying.

After reading this story, have you realized the value of integrity? But some people, they are very unruly, and I have a little story here. There was a very talented college student, he was poor, but he was very smart.

He has to go to the shuttle every day, and for this, he spends a lot of money on this. At one point, he didn't buy a ticket and wasn't found. He was so pleasantly surprised that he often evaded fares and was only caught once.

After graduation, college students look for jobs. But no company accepted him, and he didn't understand why, so he ran to ask the manager why he didn't admit him. The manager said:

You're talented, but you're not honest, and we don't need such employees. He regretted it and never got a job again. It's as the famous saying goes:

Morality often makes up for the shortcomings of wisdom, but wisdom can never fill the gap in morality. Therefore, integrity is a golden key, and if you have it, you will have success!

The decree of the Shang Dynasty reform was ready, but it had not yet been announced, and he was worried that the people would not believe in him, so he erected a three-zhang high log at the south gate of the national capital bazaar, and recruited those who could move the log to the north gate to reward ten taels of silver. The people were surprised by this and did not dare to move it. And he said, "Whoever can carry wood will be rewarded with fifty denarii." And when a man moved wood, he gave him fifty denarii to show that he had not deceived (the people).

Finally the decree was issued.

Isn't it?

TV series or history, you say?

If you move a piece of wood, you will be given 10,000 yuan for the transportation fee, and everyone will be happy.

"The story of the standing wood at the south gate of Shang Ying. Shang Ying was a very famous reformer in the Warring States Period, Shang Ying implemented two reforms, but his reform did not go smoothly at the beginning, because the people were oppressed by the nobility for too long, so when the decree was promulgated, the people did not believe him, thinking that the decree would not be really implemented.

In order to win the trust of the people and smoothly carry out the reform, he sent people to erect a tree in the city and told the people: "Whoever can carry it to the city gate will be rewarded with ten gold." "No one in Qin dared to believe it, and then it was increased to fifty gold, and someone carried the wood to the city gate, and sure enough, he was rewarded with fifty gold.

In order to show that there is no fraud or panic, from then on to declare and carry out filial piety reform, known as "Ximu Lixin". There was a person who moved a wooden pole to the north gate, and immediately rewarded him with fifty yi**, Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty, in a poem praising the clan Kuanshang martingale, with "a word is heavy and a hundred gold is light", to metaphorize the importance of words must be done.
