Translation of Song is the Border County Order .

There was a doctor named Song Zuo in the Liang State, who once served as the county commander of a border county, which was adjacent to the Chu State. The border barracks of the Liang State and the border barracks of the Chu State both grow melons, each with its own methods. The people on the border of Liang Guoshu were industrious and often watered their melon fields, so the melons grew well; The soldiers of the Chu State were lazy and rarely watered their melons, so the melons did not grow well.

The county order of Chu State angrily scolded the soldiers of Chu State for not planting melons well because of the good melons of Liang State. The soldiers of Chu were jealous of the soldiers of Liang (who planted melons) better than themselves, so they secretly went to turn their melons at night, so (Liang's) melons always withered. The soldiers of the Liang State found out about this, so they asked the county lieutenant to secretly go to retaliate and turn over the melon fields of the Chu camp.

The county lieutenant asked Song for instructions on this matter, and Song said, "Alas! How does this work?

Formed a grudge, it is the root and seedling of trouble. If others make it bad, you will also make it bad, why is it so narrow-minded! If you want me to save you, you must send someone over every night to secretly water their melon garden for the Chu State Barracks at night, and don't let them know.

So the soldiers of the Liang State secretly went to water the melon orchards of the Chu soldiers every night. The soldiers of Chu went to inspect the melon orchard in the morning and found that they had all been watered, and the melons were growing better and better day by day. The soldiers of the Chu State felt strange, so they paid attention to it, only to realize that it was the soldiers of the Liang State who did it.

The county magistrate of Chu was very happy to hear about this, so he reported the matter to the king of Chu in detail. When the king of Chu heard this, he was sad and ashamed, and regarded this incident as his own heart disease (worry). So he told the officer in charge, saying:

Investigate those who go into people's melon fields to make trouble, do they have other sins? This is Liang Guoren secretly blaming us. So he took out a rich gift, apologized to Song, and asked to befriend the king of Liang.

The king of Chu often praised the king of Liang, believing that he could keep his word. Therefore, the friendly relations between Liang and Chu began in the Song Dynasty. As the old saying goes:

Turn failure into success, and turn disaster into happiness. "Lao Tzu" says: "Use favor to repay the grudge of others."

That's what kind of stuff I'm talking about. Someone else has done something wrong, is it worth emulating?

In order to be able to guard the frontier, wise, then I don't know.

At that time, he was the governor of the capital, and he was very arrogant and untamed, and he didn't care about humility in political affairs. It happened that the criminal law would be applied to the case that had been approved by the Lin'an Prefecture, and Tang Zhen vigorously debated the mistake of doing so, but the subtext friend argued, and the criminal department finally believed that Tang Zhen's opinion was right.

In the sixth year of Xianchun, there was a great drought in Jiangdong, and the imperial court promoted Tang Zhen to be in charge of Xinzhou. Tang Zhen told the imperial court to reduce the amount of rice to be transported in batches, exempt the rent there, and ordered the urban residential area to set up an official, register the household registration there, persuade the rich to distribute the grain, and let the officials in the residential area be in charge of the grain. There was a man in the state who hired a shepherd boy to herd cattle, and the shepherd boy escaped from Huyun, and the shepherd house caught fire, and the shepherd boy's father sued his employer for killing his son and throwing him into the fire.
