During the Warring States period, Duke Xiao of Qin used the Gongsun Martingale (shang martingale) to prepare for reforms. After Gongsun Martingale formulated the order to change the law, he was afraid that the people of the Qin State would not believe him and affect the implementation of the law. So he thought of a way, he had a piece of wood erected at the south gate of the capital, and ordered: "If anyone can move this wood to the north gate, he will be rewarded with ten gold." ”
When the people of Qin Du knew about it, they all talked about it, and they all felt that such a simple thing would give ten gold, which was simply incredible. Everyone didn't believe it, they just gathered around and watched the hilarity, and no one did anything. When Gongsun Martin heard that no one had done anything, he ordered again: "If anyone can move this wood to the north gate, give him fifty taels of gold." At this time, a man came out of the crowd, picked up the wood and left, and in a moment he reached the north gate. Gongsun Martingale immediately asked someone to reward him with fifty taels of gold. At this moment, the people of the Qin Kingdom knew that Gongsun Martin did what he said, and his orders were by no means a child's play.
