6, 1000 dollars for bones

In 3 14 BC, civil strife broke out in Yan State, and neighboring Qi State took the opportunity to send troops and occupied part of Yan State's territory.

After Yan Zhaowang proclaimed himself emperor, he eliminated civil strife and determined to recruit talented people, revitalize Yan State and regain lost territory. Although Yan Zhaowang had such a call, not many people defected to him. So, Yan Zhaowang went to a man named Guo Kun and asked him how to get a virtuous person.

Guo Kui told Yan Zhaowang a story: Once upon a time, a monarch was willing to buy a swift horse with his daughter. But three years later, Maxima didn't buy it. An unknown person under the monarch volunteered to buy a swift horse, and the monarch agreed. It took the man three months to find a good horse somewhere. However, when he got to the house, the horse was already dead. So he bought the horse's bones with 500 gold and gave them back to the monarch. The monarch was very unhappy when he saw the horse bones bought at a very expensive price. The person who bought the horse bones said, I did this to let everyone know that your majesty really wanted to buy a horse at a high price, not to deceive others. Sure enough, in less than a year, someone sent three swift horses.

After telling the above story, Guo Kun said to Yan Zhaowang, "If your king really wants talents, you should let the whole world know that you really want talents, just like a monarch who bought a swift horse. You can start with me. People will see that people like me can be reused, and people who are more talented than me will come to you. " Yan Zhaowang thought this was reasonable, so he took Guo Kun as his teacher and gave him a generous salary. And let him establish "Huang Jintai" as a place to recruit talents from all over the world. Shortly after the news spread, some talented celebrities and sages came to express their willingness to help Yan Zhaowang govern the country.

At present, there is a Jintaichen village at the junction of Yixian and Dingxing in Hebei Province. It is said that this village is where Yan Zhaowang built Huang Jintai.

7. Classic story of Korean blood horse

Han blood horse used to have a red substance flowing out of its neck, which seemed to be bleeding, so it was called. China was called "Dawanma" and "Bipolar Tianma" in ancient times, but now it is called "Ahama". Two thousand years ago, the horses in the world were in a primitive state. In Turkmenistan, an arid desert oasis in Central Asia, there is an excellent fast horse, the Han blood horse. Zhang Qian went to the Great Wall and found a horse of China descent. When Zhang Qian reported to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu ordered Zhang Qian to take a delegation of more than 100 people to Dawan country (now Turkmenistan) to beg for horses, and brought a model of a golden horse, hoping to get a Dawan horse. As a result, Dawanguo refused. On the way home, Ambassador China was killed and Golden Horse was robbed. Dawanguo is a small closed country, and it doesn't know the power of China. This behavior made Emperor Wudi furious and made a decision to take horses by force. Since then, two Great Wanma Wars have broken out. General Li Guangli led tens of thousands of troops to punish the defeat for the first time and win the victory for the second time. Dawanguo donated 3,000 horses to the Han Dynasty, and the second war started from Dawanma, which shows the importance that the Han Dynasty attached to horses. Today, more than 20% of purebred horses are Han-blooded horses, and now Han-blooded horses are the longest-lived horses, which can live to 23 years old.

8. a blessing in disguise

During the Warring States Period, near the northern border town, there lived an old man named Sai Weng. Sai Weng keeps many horses. One day, one of his horses suddenly got lost. When the neighbors heard about it, they all came to comfort him and advised him not to worry too much. When he is old, he should pay more attention to his health. Seeing someone comforting him, Sai Weng smiled and said, "Losing a horse is not a big loss, and maybe it will bring some blessings."

The neighbors were amused by Sai Weng's words. Losing the horse is obviously a bad thing, but he thinks it may be a good thing, obviously just comforting himself. A few days later, the lost horse not only went home automatically, but also brought back a Xiongnu war horse.

When the neighbors heard about it, they all admired Sai Weng's foresight and congratulated him one after another, saying, "You still have foresight. Not only did you not lose your horse, but you were lucky to bring back a good horse. " Sai Weng listened to his neighbor's congratulations, but he was not happy at all. He said anxiously, "A good horse for nothing is not necessarily a blessing, but it may cause some trouble."

Neighbors think his posturing is purely the cunning of the elderly. I was very happy, but I didn't mean to say it.

Sai Weng has an only son who likes riding horses very much. He found that the horse he brought back was a good horse, with long hooves, loud neighing, fat and fierce. He rides a horse every day. He is proud of himself.

One day, he was so happy that he ran into a horse, galloped, fell, fell off his horse and broke his leg. When the neighbors heard about it, they came to offer their condolences.

Sai Weng said, "Nothing. It may be a blessing to be able to save your life if you break your leg. " Neighbors think he's talking nonsense again. They can't figure out what good luck a broken leg will bring. Soon, Xiongnu soldiers invaded on a large scale and young people were recruited into the army. Sai Weng's son can't join the army because he broke his leg. All the young men who joined the army died in battle, but only Sai Weng's son saved his life.

9. Qin Qiong sells horses.

At the end of Sui Dynasty, Qin Qiong, a Shandong hero who worked in Jinan, was ordered to work in Luzhou. Unfortunately, he fell ill in the shop and all the expenses were used up. In desperation, he took his beloved Huangshan Hummer to Erxian Village outside the west gate to sell it. Qin tied the yellow fat horse under the locust tree in the south of Zhuangnan. Dan, the owner of Erxian Village, heard that someone was selling horses, so he went to photograph it. As early as in Shandong, Qin had heard that he was a hero, but now he is down and out, too shy to give his real name. It happened that Dan heard that the horse seller was from Jinan, so he invited him to your house for tea, and also inquired about Qin, a hero in Shandong who had long admired him. Qin lied: "The person asked outside is my brother's best friend." When Xiong Xin learned that he and Uncle Bao were friends, he immediately wrote a letter to Uncle Bao, paid the horse price of 320 taels of silver, plus 320 taels of Cheng Yi, which was not included in the horse price, and also took two pieces of silk as a gift. Said Qin deceive Dan, but met another hero Wang Bodang in Luzhou restaurant. Petain informed Dan Xiong Xin, which led Xiong Xin to look for Qin Baoshu everywhere. Later, the two heroes finally got to know each other. Dan Xiong Xin treated them warmly and let Uncle Bao live in Erxian Village for eight months. When he left, Dan Xiong Xin gave his Huang Ma a gold stirrup and a silver saddle, and gave Ruth and a large sum of money. Since then, they have become close friends. Subsequently, the two men became close in the peasant uprising that overthrew the Sui Dynasty, creating indelible contributions for the insurgents. After the rise of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong defended the Tang Dynasty all his life, while Dan Xiong Xin resisted to the end. Although Shan and Qin parted ways later, the brotherhood forged in the adversity remained the same. In Tang Shuo, "Qin Qiong built a shrine to inform Xiong Xin", which means that Qin Qiong heard that Xiong Xin was captured and Pegasus came to rescue him. Go to the front and your head has landed. Uncle Bao knelt on the ground holding Xiong Xin's head, heartbroken. Later, Xiong Xin and his wife were buried together outside the south gate of Luoyang, and an ancestral temple named "Hoonji" was built to repay the kindness of Luzhou.
