There is a law in Lu. If Lu people see their compatriots suffering in foreign countries and becoming slaves, they can get financial compensation and rewards from the state as long as they can redeem them and help them regain their freedom.

Zi Gong was a student of Confucius. He redeemed Lu people from foreign countries, but did not accept money from the state. Zi Gong said, "Zi Gong, you are wrong! What saints do can be used to change folk customs and can be taught to the people, not just to benefit themselves.

Now there are fewer and fewer people and more and more poor people, so you have nothing to lose by getting compensation from the state. But without compensation, no one will redeem their murdered compatriots in Lu. "

Another student of Confucius, Luz, saved a drowning man. The rescuer gave him a cow to show his gratitude, and Luz accepted it. Confucius said happily, "From now on, Lu people will be brave enough to save people who fall into the water."

2, taboo diseases and avoid medical treatment

Bian Que, a famous doctor, once went to see Cai Huangong. He stood by and watched for a while and said to Huan Gong, "You are sick, and your illness is still between flesh and blood. If you don't treat it quickly, your illness will get worse! " "

Huan Gong smiled and said, "I'm not sick." After Bian Que left, Duke Huan said to people, "These doctors like to treat people who are not sick and take this as their responsibility."

10 days later, Bian Que went to see Huan Gong again and said that his illness had developed into a muscle, which would get worse if he was not treated. Huan Gong ignored him. After Bian Que left, Huan Gong was very unhappy.

Ten days later, Bian Que went to see Huan Gong again, saying that his illness had spread to the stomach, and it would be more serious if he was not treated as soon as possible. Huan Gong still ignored him.

Ten days later, when Bian Que went to see Huan Gong, he looked at him and turned away. Huan Gong felt very strange, so he sent messengers to ask Bian Que.

Bian Que said to the messenger: the disease lies in the texture, which can be achieved by ironing; Diseases on the skin can be treated with needle stones; Can be cured by fire in the stomach; If you get sick to the bone marrow, it's the company's responsibility, and I can't help it. Now I go deep into the bone marrow, so I won't ask any more questions.

After five days, Huan Gong was in pain all over, so he sent someone to invite him, but he had already fled to the State of Qin. Huan Gong died soon.

3. Stick to the rules

During the Warring States Period, once, the State of Chu wanted to attack the State of Song, and Lu Ban specially designed and manufactured a ladder for Chu to attack the city. Mozi was in Qi at that time. After he got the news, he hurried to Chu to dissuade him. He walked for ten days and nights. When he reached Du Ying in Chu, he immediately found Lu Ban and went to see the king of Chu. Mozi tried to persuade the king of Chu and Lu Ban not to attack the State of Song.

The king of Chu finally agreed, but they were reluctant to give up the newly built siege equipment and wanted to try its power in actual combat. Mozi took off his clothes and surrounded the city wall, using sawdust as a weapon, and asked Lu Ban to perform with him on behalf of both the offensive and defensive sides.

Luban attacked the city many times in different ways and was blocked by Mozi many times. Luban's siege equipment has been exhausted, and Mozi's strategy of guarding the city is more than enough.

Lu Ban refused to admit defeat, saying that he had a way to deal with Mozi, but he didn't say anything. Mozi said he knew what Luban would do to himself, but he didn't say anything himself.

The king of Chu didn't understand and asked what it meant. Mozi said that the loser wanted to commit suicide. I think if I kill myself, no one will help Song Shoucheng. Lu Ban didn't know that about 300 disciples of Mozi had already been there waiting for the Chu State to attack. Seeing that the king of Chu was not sure of winning, he decided not to attack the state of Song.

4, a blockbuster

Chu Zhuangwang led the state affairs for three years, and did not issue decrees or govern the state affairs. Sima Wuju is the king's right-hand man. He came to the king's car and told Chu Zhuangwang a subtle riddle. He said, "What bird has stopped on the southern floating mountain for three years without spreading its wings, flying or singing?"

Chu Zhuangwang said: "Not spreading wings for three years is to grow wings; Not flying, not singing, is to observe people's attitude. Although it has not yet flown, it will soar when it flies; It hasn't rung yet, but it will be amazing. Don't worry, I know. "

Half a year later, Chu Zhuangwang personally listened to the state affairs. Repeal ten decrees, activate nine, kill five treacherous court officials and promote six hermits. Therefore, the state can vigorously rectify. He led troops to crusade against Qi, defeated the Qi army in Xuzhou, defeated the Jin army in Xuzhou, and allied himself with the princes of the Song State, finally making Chu unify the whole country.

5. The owl got the rotten mouse.

Hui Shi is Wei's ambassador to Daliang, and Zhuangzi went to visit him. Someone told Hui Shi: "Zhuangzi came to be the main beam to replace you as the prime minister." So Hui Shi was so scared that he searched for three days and three nights in Beijing.

Zhuangzi went to see Hui Shi and said, "There is a kind of bird in the south called tortoise. Do you know that?/You know what? The stork took off from the South China Sea and flew to the North Sea. It's not that the buttonwood tree is not alive, that the bamboo fruit is not eaten, and that the sweet spring water is not drunk.

At this time, the owl picked up a rotten mouse, and carp flew in front of it. The owl looked up and said, "Drink!" The voice of anger. Now you want to scare me with your Guo Liang? "
