Story:

1. Ceng Zi Slaughters Pigs

Once, Ceng Zi's wife was going to the fair, and the children were crying and going. The wife coaxed the child to say, don't go, I'll come back and kill the pig for you. When she came back from the fair, she saw that Ceng Zi really wanted to kill pigs, so she quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Ceng Zi said that if you cheat children, they will not trust you. With that, he killed the pig. Ceng Zi didn't cheat children, but also cultivated their moral character of keeping promises. ?

2. Establish a tree as a letter

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shang Yang of Qin presided over the political reform with the support of Qin Xiaogong. At that time, at the time of frequent wars and panic, in order to establish prestige and promote reform, Shang Yang ordered a 3-foot-long wood to be erected outside the south gate of the capital, and made a promise in public: who can move this wood to the north gate will be rewarded with twelve taels.

The onlookers don't believe that such an easy thing can get such a high reward, so no one is willing to give it a try. So Shang Yang raised the reward to 5 gold. There must be a brave man under the four rewards. Finally, someone stood up and carried the wood to the north gate. Shang Yang immediately rewarded him with fifty gold.

Shang Yang's move established prestige in the hearts of the people, and Shang Yang's subsequent reform was soon popularized in Qin State. The new law made the State of Qin gradually strong and eventually unified China.
