Idioms and allusions

Because Feng Yuan was so poor that he could not make a living, he asked mengchangjun to express his wish to live under his door as a diner. Mr. mengchang asked him what he liked. He said he had no hobbies. What talent does he have? He replied that he had no talent. After listening to this, Mr. mengchang laughed, but still accepted him. The people nearby saw that mengchang looked down on Feng Yuan and provided him with coarse food. According to mengchangjun's hospitality practice, the door guests can be divided into three grades according to their ability: when boarding a guest with fish to eat, they can go out by car; when Chinese guests have fish to eat, they can go out without a car; when leaving a guest with poor food, they can go out by themselves. After a period of time, Feng Yuan leaned on the post, loaded his sword and sang: "long clip is back! "No fish for food," he said, calling for better treatment. The left and right people told this to mengchangjun. Mengchang Jun said: "food, than the door of the guest." After a while, Feng Yuan played his sword and sang: "long clip is back! There is no car People around him made fun of him and told him about it. Mengchang Jun said: "to drive, than the door of the guest." So Feng Yuan took his car, held his sword high, and went to visit his friend. He was very happy to say, "Mr. mengchang is my guest." Soon after that, Feng Yuan played his sword again and sang: "long clip is back! There is no home At this time, the left and right began to hate Feng Yuan and thought he was insatiable. When Meng Changjun heard about it, he thought that Feng Yuan had an old mother. So "make people to eat, no make lack". This made Feng Yuan deeply moved and determined not to ask for any more from mengchang Jun, but to wait wholeheartedly for the opportunity to serve mengchang Jun. After a year, Feng Yuan said nothing more. At this time, mengchang Jun was the Prime Minister of Qi, and was granted ten thousand food cities in Xuedi. There are more than 3000 diners under the door. The income of the fief was not enough to support the diners, so they sent people to Xuedi to collect money and interest to make up for the shortage. However, after more than a year's loan, if the interest has not been recovered, the support of the diners will not be available. So he wanted to choose one of the diners who could collect interest money for him. Therefore, mengchang asked the diners who would like to go to Xue Di for a rest. They were speechless. They saw Feng Yuan: "I'm willing to go." they all laughed at Feng Yuan for offering himself. Mengchangjun had no choice but to let Feng Yuan go. Feng Yuan readily agreed. He prepared his vehicle, packed his luggage, and set up the contract to collect the debt from Xueyi. When Feng Yuan said goodbye to mengchangjun, he asked, "when the responsibility is over, what's the reason?" Mencius said, "I look upon the few in my family." (Warring States strategy · Qi strategy) Feng Yuan bid farewell to mengchang Jun, drove to Xuedi, and sent officials to call the people who should pay the debt to pay the interest. As a result, the interest was 100000 yuan, but most of the debtors could not pay it. Feng Yuan used the interest money to buy wine and cattle, and summoned people who could or could not repay the interest money to check the bonds. After the debtors arrived, Feng Yuan advised them to drink and observe the rich and poor situation of the debtors. On the one hand, he asked them to take out the bonds and verify them as before. If they were able to repay the interest, they would set a repayment period on the spot. If they were unable to repay the interest, Feng Yuan would take back the bonds immediately. He also passed on mengchang's orders to exempt the people who were unable to repay their debts. "Because of burning their bonds" ("Warring States policy · Qi policy"), Feng Yuan said: "mengchang's loan is for the people, and the one who has nothing for the people is for his own business; so the one who has no interest is for the guest. Today, the rich give it to the needy, and the poor give it to the poor. Zhujunqiang diet. If you are like this, how can you bear it Therefore, "those who sit all rise and worship again" (biographies of Mencius in historical records) and "long live the people" (strategies of Warring States and Qi). In this way, Feng Yuan planted the seeds of gratitude to mengchangjun among the people of Xuedi, and won the hearts of the people and great merits. After Feng Yuan finished his work, he rushed back immediately. When mengchangjun heard that Feng Yuan had burned the deed, he was very angry and immediately sent someone to recall Feng Yuan. As soon as Feng Yuan arrived, mengchang Jun asked him why he did that. Feng Yuan said, you have a small Xue Yi. Instead of caring the people there as your own children, you collect interest from them by means of merchants. I don't think it's proper. Under the pretext of your intention, you reward the debts to the people who can't repay them. "Burn the useless bonds and donate the unreachable schemes, so that Xue min can be kind to the king and show his good voice" (mengchang Jun, historical records) Biography, "is the minister so for the King City righteousness also.". After hearing this, he was not happy, but he had no choice but to wave his hand and say, "no, sir, stop!" Another year later, someone slandered mengchang in front of the king of Qi. The king dismissed mengchang's position on the pretext that "few people dare not regard the former king's officials as their own". After the prime minister's death, mengchang returned to his fiefdom, a hundred miles away from Xueyi. The people had already supported the old and brought the young to meet him by the roadside. At this time, mengchangjun knew Feng Yuan's intention of buying yishoude by burning coupons. He said to Feng Yuan with emotion: "what you have done is what you see today!" (Zhanguo Ce · Qi CE) in consideration of the fact that mengchang's political status was not consolidated, Feng Yuan said to mengchang, "there are three caves for cunning rabbits, so we can only avoid their dead ears", and he said that he was willing to "dig two caves for him.". Mengchang gave him 50 cars and 500 Jin to persuade the state of Wei. Feng Yuanxi went to Daliang and told King Hui that the reason why the state of Qi was able to dominate the world was thanks to the assistance of mengchang. Now the king of Qi believed the slander and exiled mengchang to the vassal states. Mengchang must be dissatisfied with the king of Qi. Mengchang's statecraft and talent are well known in the world. If Mr. Meng can take him to the state of Liang, with his help, his country will be rich and powerful. King Hui also heard of mengchang's good name for a long time. He was overjoyed at this, so he immediately made an appointment and let the former Prime Minister become a general. He sent envoys to employ mengchang with a thousand kilograms of gold and a hundred carriages. Feng Yuan rushed back to Xuedi before the envoys of the state of Wei, admonished mengchang Jun, saying: "a thousand gold is the most important currency; a hundred times is the most important envoy. I've heard all about it. " The envoys of the state of Wei ran three times in succession, but mengchang refused. Feng Yuan induced the king of Wei Hui to cherish and compete with mengchang, which aroused the great attention of the king of Qi and promoted the value of mengchang. When the king of Qi heard the news, his officials were terrified. He immediately sent the Taifu to take "gold, chariots, swords, letters" and other things with him. He solemnly apologized to mengchang and asked mengchang to "take care of the ancestral temple of the former king and rule all the people.". Feng Yuan advised mengchang to take advantage of the opportunity to ask for the sacrificial utensils of the former king and "set up the ancestral temple in Xue". When the ancestral temple of the state of Qi was completed in Xuedi, Feng Yuan reported to mengchangjun that "the three caves have already been built, and you and your aunt are happy to sleep high.". Since King Qimin dismissed mengchang, most of the diners left him. After mengchang regained his phase, Feng Yuan drove his horse to meet him, but none of the other disciples arrived. Meng Chang Jun said to Feng Yuan with emotion that he had been hospitable all his life. He never dared to make mistakes in treating guests. However, when they saw that I was dismissed from office, they all left me. Thanks to Mr. Feng Yuan's restoration of phase, what face can the door guests have to see me again? If I see them again, "I will spit on their faces and humiliate them.". After hearing this, Feng Yuan quickly dismounted and kowtowed to mengchang Jun. mengchang Jun immediately dismounted to stop him and asked him if he was thanking other disciples. No, Feng said. But for the loss of your words. He said that the development of everything has its own law, just as things with life are bound to die, which is an inevitable law; "rich and noble, rich and noble, poor and humble, few friends" is also a law. People who go to the market rush to the market in the early morning, but at sunset, even when they pass the market, they just walk past without looking at it. They don't like the morning and hate the evening, but because in the evening, what they want is gone. If you lose your aspect, all the guests will leave naturally. You should not blame the scholars for this. I hope that Mr. mengchang can "meet the guests as before.". Meng Changjun was very grateful for Feng Yuan's reminding, so he once again gave thanks and accepted Feng Yuan's suggestion, "obey your orders, and dare not follow your advice.".
