Honesty is the foundation of a person.
Ji Bu was a native of Chu State in the late Qin Dynasty. When he was young, he liked to make friends. He was loyal and trustworthy. If he promises others everything, he will try his best to do it. Lu Bu's quality of keeping his word won him a reputation among his peers. Later, his reputation became more and more famous, and even many rangers in the north knew it, so that there was a saying among the people: "It is better to get a hundred pounds of gold than to keep a promise."
Politics should win the trust of the people.
Shang Yang is the phase of Qin Xiaogong and wants to be a new law. Qin Xiaogong was worried and hesitant. Shang Yang finally persuaded Qin Xiaogong to carry out political reform and promulgated new laws. In order to win the trust of the people, Shang Yang set up a three-pillar tree at the south gate of the country, recruited people who could move the tree to the north gate, and gave 10 gold. People are surprised at this practice, and no one dares to touch this piece of wood. Then, Shang Yang informed the people that whoever could move would be given 50 gold. A brave man finally moved this piece of wood, and Shang Yang immediately gave him 50 gold to show his integrity. This fact of winning the trust of the people finally convinced the people that the new law was credible, thus implementing the new law.
