The people felt very strange and no one dared to move it. "You can get ten gold bars by carrying a wooden stick. Is it true or false?" "Don't come back and not only don't you get ten gold bars, but you are also arrested." "It must be false." "How can anything fall from the sky in this world?" The pie thing? It’s definitely not possible,” the people said.

The officer shouted again. The crowd started discussing again. Some people said: "You can go and try." Others said: "You can't go, you will definitely be arrested." At this time, a young man walked out of the crowd, took off his shirt and said, "Let me try." An old woman said: "Li Wu, be careful!" Li Wu said: "Don't worry, it'll be okay." He came to the wooden stick and picked up the wooden stick. Halfway there, he became a little unsteady on his feet. Some people said: "Li Wu, come on! Hold on!" Others said: "Put it down Li Wu, there will be no gold bars."
In the end, Li Wu walked to the north gate and put the wooden The stick stands in the middle. At this time, a man came towards him. Li Wu thought he was here to catch him. When he got closer, he saw that the man took a big bag full of things and said, "This is the fifty dollars that the master gave you." Please count the gold bars." Li Wu saw that they were not here to arrest him. He breathed a sigh of relief and took the bag. He saw that it was indeed fifty gold bars. The people around him all regretted it.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shang Yang of the Qin State presided over the reform with the support of Qin Xiaogong. At that time, when wars were frequent and people were in panic, in order to establish prestige and promote reforms, Shang Yang ordered a three-foot-long log to be erected outside the south gate of the capital, and made a promise in public: Who can move this log? Go to the north gate and get a reward of ten taels. The onlookers didn't believe that such an easy thing could get such a high reward, so no one was willing to give it a try.

Later, a young man named Wei Yang met Qin Xiaogong and discussed with him his method of making the country rich. The two of them got more and more excited as they talked, and even forgot to eat. After reading this, another big question popped up in my mind: Can this young man really make the country rich? How did he gain the people's trust? To solve the problem, go and have a look! The next day, a piece of wood appeared at the south gate, and a notice was posted next to it: If anyone carries the wood to the north gate, he will be rewarded with ten taels of gold. The last name written was Wei Yang. A bunch of people gathered around the notice, and everyone was talking about it, but they didn't believe it. I'm also thinking: What kind of medicine does Wei Yang sell in the gourd? It’s really hard to guess! When Wei Yang saw that there was no one to carry the wood, he increased the reward to fifty taels! People were talking louder. I am also more different. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. A man rushed out, picked up the wood and left. When Wei Yang saw this, he actually gave him gold. Everyone started talking about it. Everyone thought that Wei Yang was trustworthy, so they helped him govern the country, and Qin became rich and powerful. Qin Xiaogong also kept his promise and gave Wei Yang fifteen Chengchi. From then on, everyone called Wei Yang Shang Yang.
After reading this story, have you realized the value of integrity? But some people are very unruly. I have a little story here. There was a very talented college student who was poor but very smart.
He had to take the shuttle bus every day, and he spent a lot of money on it. On one occasion, he failed to buy a ticket and was not discovered. He was so surprised that he often evaded fares and was only caught once. After graduation, college students look for jobs. But no company accepted him, and he didn't understand why, so he ran to ask the manager why he wasn't accepted. The manager said: "You are very talented, but you are not honest. We don't need such employees." He regretted it so much that he never found a job again. This is just as a famous saying goes: Morality can often make up for the defects of wisdom, but wisdom can never fill the gaps of morality. Therefore, integrity is a golden key. If you have it, you will have success!
⑧ Summary of Shang Yang’s story in 200 words
Shang Yang (about 200 BC - 338 BC) was a native of Weiguo (now Puyang, Henan) and Han nationality. A politician, thinker and famous representative of Legalism during the Warring States Period. The descendants of the king of Wei were the Gongsun family, so they were called Wei Yang, also known as Gongsun Yang. They were later granted the title of Shang, and later generations called them Shang Yang. In response to Qin Xiaogong's request for talents, he entered Qin and persuaded Qin Xiaogong to reform and become stronger. After the death of Duke Xiao, he was framed by the nobles and his car was broken and he died. After reigning for 19 years, the Qin State was in great power, known as Shang Yang's Reform in history.
He defected to Qin State Shang Yang's "Shao Hao Xing Ming School" and specialized in ruling the country by law. He was greatly influenced by Li Kui, Wu Qi and others. Later, he became a retainer of Gongshu Cuo, the Prime Minister of Wei. When Gongshu Cuo was seriously ill, he said to King Hui of Wei: "Gongsun Martingale is young and talented, and he can be appointed as prime minister." He also said to King Hui, "If the king doesn't use Gongsun Martingale, he will be killed." , don't let him leave the country." After Gongshu Cuo's death, King Wei Hui didn't take Gongshu Cuo's instructions seriously, so he didn't obey them. When Gongsun Yang heard that Qin Xiaogong ordered the wise men in the country to recover the lost territory of Qin, he went to Qin with Li Kui's "Book of Dharma". Through Qin Xiaogong's favored minister Jing Jian, Shang Yang met Qin Xiaogong three times and proposed three monarch strategies: imperial, kingly, and hegemonic. Only hegemony was approved by Qin Xiaogong and became the foundation of Qin's strength. In 359 BC, he was appointed the chief of Zuo Shu, initiated political reforms, and was later promoted to Daliang Zao.
Reform was brewing. In 359 BC, when Shang Yang was assisting Duke Xiao of Qin in brewing a reform, representatives of the old aristocracy, Qianlong and Du Zhi, rose up to oppose the reform. They believe that if the benefits are not enough, the method will not change, and if the merits are not enough, the tools will not change. "There is no fault in the ancient laws, and there is no evil in following the rituals." Shang Yang pointed out tit for tat: "In the past life, there were different religions, so how can we follow the ancient laws? If the emperors do not follow each other, how can we follow the rituals?" "If there is no one way to govern the world, the country will not follow the ancient laws. Tang, The king of Wu prospered without following the ancients; when the Yin and Xia Dynasties were destroyed, it was not easy to change the etiquette. However, it is not necessarily wrong to oppose the ancients, and it is not enough to follow the etiquette." Therefore, he advocated "legislating according to the time, and regulating etiquette according to the situation" ( "Book of Shang Jun: Gengfa Chapter" and "Historical Records: Biography of Shang Jun").
