There is a monk selling medicine in Hejian prefecture. He put a bronze Buddha on the table and pills on a plate. The bronze Buddha made a gesture of reaching for something. Someone comes to buy medicine, first worships Buddha, and then presents Buddha on a plate. If the disease can be cured, the pill will jump into the Buddha's hand; If the disease is difficult to cure, birth control pills will not work. Everyone thinks business is very prosperous. Later, the monk was seen grinding iron filings with the door closed. Only then did I know that the medicine was mixed with iron filings, and the bergamot was made of magnets and covered with gold.
A fur coat worth thousands of dollars is definitely not made of fox's armpit skin. This is a metaphor, small things can become big, and everyone's strength can do things well.
4. The skin is gone, where is the hair attached? Metaphor means that things can't exist without a foundation on which to live.
If the skin does not exist, how can the hair be attached?
One year, Wei Dongyang sold money, grain, cloth and silk to the country, which was 10 times more than in previous years. Therefore, the ministers of the Manchu court congratulated Wei Wenhou together.
Wei Wenhou is not optimistic about this matter. He is thinking: Dongyang, the land has not increased, and the population is as large as before. How can it be possible to spend 10 times more money, grain, cloth and silk than in previous years? Even if there is a bumper harvest, it is directly proportional to the country. He analyzed that this must be imposed on the following people by officials at all levels. This incident reminded him of something that happened to him a year ago.
A year ago, Wei Wenhou went out for a cruise. One day, on the road, he saw a man wearing the sheepskin inside out, with the fur facing the endothelium. The man is still carrying a basket of grass for feeding animals.
Wei Wenhou thought it was very strange, so he went forward and asked the humanitarian, "Why do you wear sheepskin clothes backwards and expose the leather board to move things?"
The man replied, "I cherish this leather coat very much." I'm afraid I'll break it outside, especially when I take something. I'm afraid my hair will wear off. "
Wei Wenhou listened and said to the man seriously, "Do you know? In fact, the leather board is more important. If the leather board is worn out, there is no place for hair to attach. Isn't it a wrong idea to give up skin to protect hair? "
The man still stubbornly carries the grass on his back.
Nowadays, officials, regardless of people's lives and deaths, wantonly plunder people's money, food and cloth. Is this different from the behavior of the man who opposes wearing leather clothes?
So, Wei Wenhou summoned the court ministers and told them the story of the man who opposed wearing leather clothes, and said, "If the skin doesn't exist, how can the hair be attached?" If the people are restless, it will be difficult to consolidate the status of the monarch. I hope you remember this truth, and don't be blinded by a little interest and can't see the essence. "
The ministers were greatly encouraged. Everything is the same, the foundation is the foundation, and it is the foundation of the existence of things. If you put the cart before the horse, you will lose more than you gain.
