The most famous story is Shang Yang's political reform. He was appointed as the prime minister of Qin Xiaogong and wanted to become 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 the south gate of the three-foot wood and the capital, recruited people who could move wood 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 told people that whoever can move this wooden brick will be rewarded with 40 gold. A brave man finally moved this piece of wood, and Shang Yang immediately gave him 50 gold as promised to show his sincerity. This fact of winning the trust of the people finally convinced the people that the new law was credible, thus implementing the new law. In this matter, it is not difficult for us to see the truth that "a small letter is a big letter", so as to govern the country and serve the people.
