There is a story in "Yu Ion" that a businessman in Jiyang lost his life because of breaking his promise. When he was crossing the river, his boat sank. He grabbed a hemp pole and shouted for help. A fisherman heard the sound. The businessman quickly shouted, "I am the richest man in Jiyang. If you can save me, I will give you 1 taels of gold.". After being rescued ashore, the businessman turned against him and refused to admit it. He only gave the fisherman 1 taels of gold. The fisherman accused him of breaking his word and going back on his word. The rich man said, "You are a fisherman. You can't earn much money all your life. Aren't you satisfied with suddenly getting twelve taels of gold?" The fisherman had to go away disgruntled. Unexpectedly, the rich man capsized in the same place again. Someone tried to save him, and the fisherman who had been cheated by him said, "He is the man who broke his word!" " So the merchant drowned. It is accidental that the businessman capsized twice and met the same fisherman, but it is expected that the businessman will not be rewarded well. Because if a person doesn't keep his word, he will lose the trust of others. Therefore, once he is in trouble, no one is willing to rescue him. Those who break their word to others, once in trouble, have to sit back and wait.

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 next reform was soon popularized in Qin State.

Five years later, you Yi Tai Rong attacked Zhou on a large scale, and the bonfire of you Wang reignited, but the princes did not arrive-no one wanted to be fooled again.
