An insignificant story

1, the story of Wu Yinzhi drinking "Chanquan"

Shimen, 0/0 km away from Guangzhou/Kloc-0, is the only place to enter Guangzhou in ancient times. There is a spring here called "Chanquan". It is said that anyone who drinks "greedy spring water" will become greedy. Therefore, none of the officials who passed through Shimen dared to drink, even if they were very thirsty, they tried to endure it to ensure their cleanliness.

There was a man named Wu Yinzhi who went to Guangzhou to be an official. He passed by the "Greedy Spring" and heard from his entourage that there was such a thing, so he went to have a look. He saw that the so-called "Chanquan" was actually just an ordinary mountain spring, so he knelt down and held the spring water to drink. When he saw it, he was shocked and quickly stopped: "This is a greedy spring, don't drink it!" Wu Yinzhi said with a smile, "I don't believe anyone is greedy for springs but not springs. Greedy people will be greedy if they don't drink, and clean people can keep clean even if they drink. " Later, he also wrote a poem to express his determination to be honest and clean: "The ancients said that this water has a thousand connections: it is not easy to make Qi drink at once." The meaning of this poem is: It is said that people will be insatiable after drinking the water from the "greedy spring". But I think, the virtuous Boyi and Shu Qi (two sons of Yin Shang Gu) will definitely not repent.

During his tenure in Guangzhou, Wu Yinzhi paid salaries and rewards to relatives, friends and ordinary people in addition to adequate food. Wu Yinzhi's incorruptibility and frugality set an example, which not only made his subordinate officials dare not take bribes and bend the law, but also made the folk customs in Guangzhou more and more simple, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Wu Yinzhi laughed at the "greedy spring" for being honest and clean, leading an honest and clean life, and "getting out of the mud without being stained", showing the noble quality of being honest and clean.

2. The article Gong Yixiu is addicted to fish is included in the book Han Feizi.

About the story of eating fish and resting, more than 2200 years ago, Mr. Han Feizi said this:

Gong Yixiu was promoted to Prime Minister Lu by virtue of his outstanding leadership and outstanding work performance. As a senior official below one person and above ten thousand people, he is a public figure concerned by Lu people. Gong Yixiu has a hobby of eating fish. It is known that fish delivery people line up in front of the Prime Minister's office. "The public sacrifice ceremony is not interested in fish, and a country is competing to buy fish." It stands to reason that since the prime minister is good at this, the masses have the desire to send fish. The value of two fish is only dozens of copper coins, which does not hurt the honor. However, the official refused all the people who came to deliver the fish. The so-called "public students are aboveboard", and the fish delivery people immediately dispersed at the command.

Here, Gong Yixiu understands very well that it is because he likes to eat fish that he does not accept fish. If you take fish, eat people with soft lips and short hands, you must act according to others' faces, you are bending the law and you lose your official position. By that time, the official is gone, the salary is gone, and the fish delivery person will naturally not come again. Even if you like to eat fish, you can't get any. Although I don't accept other people's fish now, I can save my honor and not be fired. You can still get a high salary after retirement, and you won't worry about not eating fish.

There are also stories about honesty:

(1) Yu Qian, a famous honest official in the Ming Dynasty, was an honest man. On his 60th birthday, many local people gave gifts, and even the emperor gave a jade cat, Admiralty. But Yu Qian refused their gifts one by one.

(2) Bao Zheng in Song Dynasty. At that time, Bao Zheng was working in Duanzhou, a relatively rich place in Guangdong Province. One side of the inkstone has to go through many processes before it can be made. Some local officials, regardless of the lives of the people, mass-produced, went to court to please powerful people and enrich themselves. Bao Zheng himself said: "It is not shameful to die in Nanchang if you can hold the Duanzhou square inkstone." However, until he left office, he did not take one.

(3) In the Eastern Han Dynasty, a man named Liu Chong was appointed as the prefect of Huiji. He reformed graft and abolished exorbitant taxes, which made the lawsuit very clean. Later, he was transferred to the post of master craftsman by the imperial court. Before he left, the local people took the initiative to collect money for Liu Chong, who was about to leave, but Liu Chong was not affected. Later, it was really hard to refuse, so I took a copper coin from it and accepted it symbolically. Because of this, he is called "a dollar is too defensive".

As we all know, Wei Zhi is a famous prime minister, and his wife Shi Pei is also an honest and thrifty woman. Although Pei is the wife of the prime minister, she has been frugal since she married her husband. She lives in an old house with her husband and spins and weaves every day. Emperor Taizong heard that Kevin·Z's house was narrow, old and very shabby, so he ordered someone to rebuild it for him. When officials, craftsmen and others came to Wei's home, Mrs. Wei said to the visitors, "He is used to living in old houses, but he is not used to living in gorgeous buildings." Please forgive the emperor for not transferring his house. " Due to Mrs. Wei's repeated polite refusal, the craftsmen had to renovate several old houses and go back. In the seventeenth year of Tang Zhenguan, Wei Zhi was seriously ill and could not get out of bed. Emperor Taizong sent a doctor to treat him. Who knows, when the doctor went to the Wei family, he found that the quilt was worn and old, which could not keep out the cold at all. When the doctor came back, he told the emperor truthfully, and Taizong immediately sent someone to send Zheng Wei a silk quilt. Who knows this time, Mrs. Wei came out to decline to receive a call again. She said, "He is also used to making quilts. There is no need to add silk quilts. Please forgive me. " In this way, Mrs. Wei helped her husband do housework all the year round, always being diligent and considerate of each other, and did not regret marrying such a poor husband.
