Idioms and allusions

During the spring and Autumn period, Confucius went to persuade Liu Xiaji's younger brother to steal Zhi. He was the leader of the slave uprising with 9000 troops. Confucius hoped that he would own the city and become king, and stop harassing the people. In the past, people cultivated for food, spun for clothes, and didn't want to do harm. Now it's an era of bullying the weak with the help of the strong, so there's no need to persuade them any more.
