At the end of the Warring States period, Lv Buwei, a big businessman, made the biggest speculative business in Chinese and foreign history. He spared no expense to make the king of Qin, who was taken hostage in Zhao, the king of Qin. Makes when the king of Qin, in order to repay the kindness of Lv Buwei, named Lv Buwei as prime minister. From a businessman, he became a prominent figure under one person and above ten thousand people, and became the authority to advance and retreat. The officials of the DPRK and China said nothing, but they were unconvinced. Lv Buwei also knows that his political expectations are so superficial that people may talk privately. He thinks that improving his reputation is the best way to convince people. But how can we improve quickly? He can't think of any good way at the moment. Lv Buwei was very worried about it, and he called on the public to discuss it.
Someone said, "We know that Confucius has a good reputation because he wrote a book called Spring and Autumn Annals. Sun Wu became a general of the State of Wu because the King of Wu read the Art of War first. Why can't we write a book that is famous in the contemporary era and sets an example for future generations? "
Lv Buwei thought this method was very good, and ordered the public to organize people to write it immediately.
Lv Buwei had 3,000 followers at that time, and soon wrote 26 volumes 160 articles entitled "Lv Chunqiu". After writing, Lv Buwei ordered the full text to be copied and posted on the gate of Xianyang, and issued a notice: "Whoever can add or subtract one article or even change one will be rewarded with 1,200 gold."
The notice has been posted for a long time, and people are afraid of Lv Buwei's power, and no one comes to ask for it. So the story of "a word is worth a thousand dollars" has been passed down to this day.
