Idiom story

During the northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty wanted to expand his territory to the north. He sent Wang yunmo and others to supervise the northern expedition. One of Shen Qing advised Emperor Wen again and tried to tell him the lesson of the failure of the northern expedition. To his disappointment, Emperor Wen asked several civil servants to argue with him about the issue of sending troops. Shen Qingzhi said that running a country is the same as running a family. It's useless to talk to a white faced scholar about farming as a slave and weaving as a slave.
