1. Every year after the decree was issued, the Qin people said that thousands of people were inconvenienced by the new decree. So the prince broke the law. Wei Yang said: "The law cannot be violated from above. The prince, the king's heir, is not allowed to impose punishment. Punish his Fu Gongzi Qian, and tattoo his teacher Gongsun Jia."

Tomorrow, all the people of Qin will follow the order. After ten years of traveling, there were no relics on the roads of Qin, there were no thieves in the mountains, the people were brave in public battles but timid in private fights, and the villages and towns were well governed. In the early days of the Qin Dynasty, those who were inconvenient to give orders could be made convenient by others. Wei Yang said: "These are all people who disturb the law!" They all moved to the border. Afterwards, no one dared to issue orders. (Selected from "Historical Records·Biographies of Shang Jun")

Translation Shang Yang's decree on the reform was ready but had not been announced yet. He was worried that the people would not believe him, so he erected a three-piece banner at the south gate of the capital market. For a piece of wood that is ten feet high, anyone who can move it to the north gate will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. The people felt strange about this and did not dare to move it. He also said, "Anyone who can move wood will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver." One man moved the wood, so he was given fifty taels of silver to show that he was not deceiving (the people). Finally the decree was issued.

2. Mr. Tao is frugal and diligent in his work. When he was in Jingzhou, he ordered the ship officers to record all the sawdust, no matter how much. Xian didn't understand this. After the meeting, it was snowing and it was starting to clear up. I heard that it was still wet after removing the snow beforehand, so I covered it with sawdust and it didn't hurt.

The bamboos used by officials are all ordered to have thick heads and are piled up like mountains. After Huan Xuanwu conquered Shu, he loaded ships and used them as nails. It is also said that an official took the bamboo pole where the hair was found, and it was still enough. It is used for super two levels.

Translation Tao Kan was an official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was not only upright as an official, but also cherished property very much. Once, he was cruising in the countryside and saw a man on the road holding a bunch of unripe wheat ears. Tao Kan walked over and asked, "What do you want with these ungrown wheat?" The man said nonchalantly, "I saw that the wheat was green and beautiful, so I picked a handful." Tao Kan couldn't help but get angry: "You don't farm yourself, but you destroy other people's crops at will. You shouldn't be punished!" After saying that, he asked his men to beat him up. When the local people learned about this, they felt that Tao Kan truly cared about the crops and respected the farmers' work, and they worked harder from then on.

Tao Kan also pays great attention to saving. One time, when *** was building a ship, there were a lot of bamboo and sawdust left over. No one else cared about it, but Tao Kan asked someone to put them away. Later, during the Chinese New Year, there was a heavy snowfall and the yard was very muddy. At this time, Tao Kan asked people to take out sawdust and spread them in the yard, which made it easier for people to walk. Another time, when the imperial court was building warships, the workers cut the bamboo heads they had collected into bamboo nails, saving another batch of raw materials.

At the dangerous point of the wave, the nephew stopped in silence. He held the book and asked, "What is the word for this?" The prime minister had seen it for a long time, but he did not recognize it. He criticized his nephew and said, "You didn't ask earlier, and I forgot about it."

Once, he suddenly got a good sentence, and he quickly asked for pen and ink to write quickly. The words were very sloppy and filled up the paper. He immediately asked his nephew to copy the verses. The nephew found something strange in the strokes and felt puzzled. He stopped writing and asked Prime Minister Zhang what word he pronounced. Prime Minister Zhang read it carefully for a long time, but he still didn't recognize what he wrote, so he scolded his nephew and said, "Why didn't you ask me earlier, so that I also forgot what it was."

He manages property and accumulates it without getting tired of it, but he dares not use it for himself. Some people who come from the house to beg for money have no choice but to go inside and withdraw money for ten days. Coming out of the hall, he loses his temper every step of the way. As for the outside, only half of it is there, closing eyes to teach the beggars.

Three Jia in Shu City

Liu Ji

The three Jia in Shu all sell medicine in the market. One of them specializes in getting good things, calculating what he pays to make a profit. He doesn't pay for nothing, and he just wins. A person can take both the good and the bad. The price may be low or high, but the desire of the buyer will depend on the good or the bad. One person does not take good things, but only has them in abundance. If he sells them, he will sell them at a low price. If he asks for a good thing, he will benefit from it. No comparison. So there is competition, and the limit of the door (threshold)

The moon changes. Rich in age. Those who take both tend to be a little slower, and they will be rich no matter how long they are. He specializes in picking up the good ones, and the whole day is like midnight, and once he eats, he feels faint and deficient.

When Yu Li saw this, he sighed and said: "Today's scholars are like this husband! In the past, Yin San of the three counties of Chubi (a remote place). One of them was honest and did not get the Shangguan, so he left. , there is no way

The boat (pronounced jiu four tones, rental), everyone laughs and thinks it is stupid. Take it and hand it over to the superior officer.

After the official died and the people were rich, he was promoted to be the director of the law and discipline within three years. Although the people also praised him for his good deeds, it’s not surprising!

Translation: There are three businessmen in Sichuan, all selling medicine in the market. One of them specializes in purchasing high-quality medicinal materials and determines the selling price according to the purchase price. He does not falsely report the price, nor does he make excessive profits. (Among them) One person buys both high-quality and low-quality goods, and the price he sells depends only on the buyer's demand (depending on the degree), and then responds to them with high-quality or defective goods

(Among them) One person does not buy high-quality products, but only seeks more, and sells them at a cheaper price. If he asks for more, he will get more, without caring about it. So (people) rushed to him (

to buy medicine), and the threshold of his shop changed once a month. After a year, he became very rich. The businessman who took care of both high-quality products and defective products had slightly fewer people going to buy medicine from him, and he became rich after

two years. A businessman who specializes in selling baby goods would have his shop at noon just like it was at night, and he would not have enough dinner in the morning.

Yu Liong saw it and sighed: "The same is true for today's officials! In the past, there were three county officials in three remote counties in Chu State. One of them was honest but could not be promoted by his superiors

Bah, when he left office, he had no money to rent a boat. People laughed at him and thought he was stupid. One of them chose to take advantage of convenience. People did not blame him for grabbing.

On the contrary. Praise him for his virtuousness. One of them does not (extract) any profit, and uses the profit obtained to his superiors (officials). He treats subordinate officials and soldiers as his sons

and treats the rich as guests. He was treated politely and within three years, he was promoted to the position of chief of law and discipline. Even the people praised his kindness. Isn’t this strange? ”

Feeling: Once being an official is equivalent to doing business, this society will The system is also in crisis. The first official explained the necessity of high salary to maintain integrity; the second official reminded people to pay attention to the supervision mechanism and the soundness of its laws, and then whether they can really play their role; the third official let us know, The actual acquisition of an official depends on who the official is. The official is not to please anyone superficially, but to give benefits to or seek benefits for whom!
