He was a famous minister in the Western Han
Dynasty of China.
There is a story about him recorded in
history books.
In 113 BC, he was the mayor of the capital
at that time.
He made a suggestion to the king.
The most important irrigation canal in the
plain where our capital is located was built by the Qin Dynasty in 246 BC. This
canal has been in use for more than 100 years.
In the past 100 years, with the expansion
of the capital, the population of the capital has also increased greatly.
So I propose that six small canals be dug
next to this big canal to increase the irrigated area.
This will increase rice production and meet
the needs of the capital.
His suggestion was very constructive and
the king agreed very much, so he started the project.
He dug six small canals very efficiently in
a very short time.
As he had predicted, rice production in the
suburbs around the capital increased greatly, and the king trusted him even
more.
110 BC. The king made him prime minister of
the Han dynasty.
In 110 BC, the king announced to all
officials that he was going to Mount Tai in Shandong Province, China, to hold
the highest ceremony to worship heaven and earth.
Ni Kuan was the chief planner. He
coordinated the various government departments very well. He arranged the whole
ceremony very smoothly, and every detail was very well thought out.
It is recorded in the history books that
after this great sacrificial ceremony, a minister older and more senior than he
said to him.
I was originally the most popular candidate
for prime minister. I was not convinced because I did not become prime minister
of the Han Dynasty. Originally, I thought that the king had made a mistake in
appointing you as prime minister.
But now I have changed my mind, I think you
are more capable than me.
The King made the right choice and you are
a very competent Prime Minister.

他是中國的西漢王朝一位著名的大臣。
歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
西元前113年，他擔任當時的首都市長。
他提出了一個建議。他對國王說。
我們首都所在地的這塊平原的這一條最重要的灌溉用的水渠是秦王朝於西元前246年建造的，這條水渠已經使用了超過100年。
這100年來，由於首都的範圍擴大，首都的人口也增加很多。
因此我建議應該在這條大水渠旁延伸開鑿出六條小的水渠，讓灌溉面積更大。
這樣可以提高稻米的生產量，也才能夠滿足首都的需求。
他的提議非常的具有建設性，國王非常的認同，他便開始這項工程。
他非常有效率地在最短的時間開鑿出六條小水渠。
就如同他所預期的，首都周遭郊區的稻米產量大大增加，國王從此更加信任他。
西元前110年。國王讓他擔任漢王朝的宰相。
西元前110年，國王對所有的官員宣布，他要到位於中國的山東省的泰山上去舉辦一場最高級別的祭祀天地的儀式。
倪寬擔任主要的策劃者，他把各個政府部門協調的非常的好，他把整個儀式的流程安排的非常的流暢，而且每個細節都非常的周到。
歷史書上記載，舉辦完這場盛大的祭祀典禮後，有一個年紀與資歷都比他高的大臣對他說。
我原本是呼聲最高的宰相人選，我原本因為沒有當上漢王朝的宰相所以心中很不服氣。我原本認為國王任命你為宰相是一個錯誤的決定。
但我現在我改變我的想法了，我認為你的工作能力比我更強。
國王的選擇是對的，你是一個非常稱職的首相。
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。
你的國家內有沒有那些歷史悠久的公共建設呢?你在工作場所中，你是否有遭遇過那些比你資深的員工的打壓呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
