Words describing people's manners, actions, psychology and speech in the South Gate of Shang Yang

Everybody look at me. I look at you, but no one dares to go up and carry wood.

Action: While everyone was talking about it, one of them ran out. Really pick up the wood and go straight to the north gate.

Psychology: When everyone was talking about it, a man ran out of the crowd. Really pick up the wood and go straight to the north gate. Qin Xiaogong completely agrees with Shang Yang. However, some nobles and ministers of Qin strongly opposed it. Qin Xiaogong saw a lot of people opposed to it. He just acceded to the throne and was worried that there would be trouble, so he temporarily shelved the reform. But I am worried that the people will not trust him and will not abide by the new law. Knowing that people still didn't believe his orders, Shang Yang raised the reward to fifty taels. I didn't expect that the higher the salary, the more unreasonable the onlookers felt, and no one dared to mention it.

Language: "Anyone who can make the state of Qin rich and strong, whether foreigners or foreigners, can be employed as an official." Shang Yang said to Qin Xiaogong, "If a country wants to be rich and strong, it must attach importance to agriculture, and reward soldiers. If it wants to govern the country, it must be rewarded and punished. With rewards and punishments, the court has prestige, and all reforms will be easy. Two years later, when the throne of Qin Xiaogong was firmly established, he worshipped Shang Yang as the left bastard and said, "From today on, the reform of the system depends entirely on the left bastard." "

The order said, "Who can carry this piece of wood to the north gate and get twelve taels of gold?"

Soon, there were many people around the south gate, and everyone was talking about it. Some people said, "Anyone can carry this piece of wood, so where do you need a reward of twelve taels of silver?" Someone said, "This may be a joke played by Zuo Shu." A man in the crowd ran out and said, "I'll try."

The common people said, "Zuo Shu's orders are unambiguous."
