I. Explanation
The Warring States Policy, Chu Ce III is spoken. The original text recorded that Su Qin refused to stay in the State of Chu. He said this to the King of Chu: "The food in the State of Chu is more expensive than jade, and the salary is more expensive than Guangxi." Later, I used the metaphor of "rice beads earn laurel" to mean that prices are expensive, rice is as expensive as pearls, and firewood is as expensive as cinnamon.
Second, the original text
Su Qin's Chu 1, three days is to see the king 2. Talk about pawn 3, quit and walk 4. The king of Chu said, "I have heard of the ancients, Sir. Today, my husband is a thousand miles away, and he refused to stay. I would like to hear about it. " Right: "The food in Chu is more expensive than jade, and the salary is more expensive than Guangxi;" It is rare for a worshiper to see a ghost, and it is rare for a king to see a heavenly emperor. Today, I have made my minister eat jade and cook osmanthus, because the ghost has seen Emperor 1. " The king said, "Sir, I will give up 11, but I have heard of my fate."
