Brief analysis

Liu Ji obtained three different results from three different business methods of selling medicinal materials. He talked about three different results of three county officials. It’s very interesting to read. The first one is very honest, but he can’t even make a living. The second one is more cunning and sells both good and bad medicines. If you pay a high price, I will give you the good ones, which are real; if you give a low price, I will give you the bad and fake ones. "Buyer's desire is the only thing" sounds good, but in reality, you will buy bad and fake medicines. It's very dangerous. But this businessman used this little trick and made a fortune after working for two years. The third medicine seller was not only cunning, but also cunning; the people only wanted to gain advantage and did not know the truth, so they rushed to buy him. He made a fortune in just over a year because of his bad and fake medicines. The social reality at that time was that this strange phenomenon of "honest people collapse and treacherous people get rich" existed not only in the shopping malls, but also in the officialdom. The second half describes the situation in the officialdom. The first county official was not appreciated by his superiors because of his integrity and self-discipline. We can imagine the reasons: first, his superiors had fewer tributes for him; If you are not greedy, you will show me; thirdly, if you are not greedy, you will inevitably be slandered by your colleagues. Therefore, if integrity is regarded as a traitor, people will laugh at you as a fool. Of course, the outcome of this kind of person will be very miserable. The second county magistrate is "smarter". He pays more attention to opportunities and situations: he will take advantage of opportunities and be greedy if he has the conditions. He does things more secretly and is not so presumptuous. It's intriguing. Why do people think it's not wrong for him to be corrupt? This can only be explained by the fact that in that era, no officials were corrupt, right? People were already familiar with this phenomenon, so they found it strange. No wonder. The third person who is a county magistrate is even more "smart": he is greedy and greedy, but he does not monopolize it. He spends part or even most of it to curry favor with his superiors, buy joints, and use the people's wealth as a way to promote himself. On the other hand, he cares about his subordinates very much, all for the purpose of serving his unjust deeds; and on the other hand, he treats the rich people well so that he can squeeze more money out of them. This third person is really a county official. It can be said that he is extremely treacherous, but such a person has become prosperous. The article uses this small space to expose and criticize the absurd phenomenon in the society at that time that only cheating can make money and get promoted, and integrity cannot be established. The author's courage and courage are commendable. 5. Accurate translation of classical Chinese

Three Jia in Shu City

Liu Ji

All three Jia in Shu City sold out. Medicine is in the market. One person only takes good things, and counts them as a reward. He only takes the good and bad things at a reasonable price. The price is low and expensive, but the desire of the buyer is there. And respond to its good and bad. One person does not take the good, but sells it at a low price, and asks for the benefit, so it is the limit of the door (threshold).

The first month of the month means you will be rich at the end of the year. Those who take both will tend to be a little slow, and those who specialize in good things will be as good as the night after eating.

When Yu Li saw this, he sighed and said: "Today's scholars are like this husband! In the past, Yin San of the three counties of Chubi (a remote place). One of them was honest and did not get the Shangguan, so he left. , there is no way

The boat (pronounced jiu four tones, rental), everyone laughs and thinks it is stupid. Take it and hand it over to the superior officer.

After the official died and the people were rich, he was promoted to be the director of the law and discipline within three years. Although the people also praised him for his good deeds, it’s not surprising!

and treats the rich as guests. He was treated politely and within three years, he was promoted to the position of chief of law and discipline. Even the people praised his kindness. Isn’t this strange? ”

Feeling: Once being an official is equivalent to doing business, this society will The system is also in crisis. The first official explained the necessity of high salary to maintain integrity; the second official reminded people to pay attention to the supervision mechanism and the soundness of its laws, and then whether they can really play their role; the third official let us know, The actual acquisition of an official depends on who the official is. The official is not to please anyone superficially, but to give benefits to or seek benefits for whom!
