His life is very simple and he is very clean, he is loved by the people.

He was once governor of Jingzhou. Because he ran the place well, the king often gave him extra bonuses.

When he received these extra bonuses, he would find his subordinates to gamble with.

He would deliberately lose all these bonuses to his subordinates when they gambled.

Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or thought do you have after hearing this story?

Why do you think he used gambling to distribute money to his subordinates? If you were his sister, would you be proud of him or angry with him?

I hope this story can give you a new harvest.

有一次,國王笑著對他說。

你最近調動了職位,你現在的職位已經跟你的曾祖父是一樣的位階。

如果你的曾祖父還有祖父還有父親還活著而且知道這件事,我想他們一定也會你感到驕傲。

 

他的生活很簡樸,而且他非常的廉潔,他很受到百姓的愛戴。

當他收到這些額外的獎金時,他會找他的部屬們一起賭博。

他會故意在賭博的時候把這些獎金全部輸給他的部屬們。

我住在官邸裡面,我認為我下班後的支出不應該用公費來負擔。

親愛的朋友,你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。

你認為為何他要用賭博這種方式把錢分給他的下屬呢?你如果是他的姐姐,你會為他感到驕傲還是生氣呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
