People know Wang Rong, a famous scholar in the Wei and Jin dynasties, which may be more derived from the story of "not taking the road side Li".
When Wang Rong was seven years old, he was playing with his friends, and the plum trees on the side of the road were full of fruits, and everyone rushed to pick plums to eat, but Wang Rong remained motionless. People asked him why he was so reserved, and Wang Rong said: "The plum tree can still leave so many plums on the roadside, which means that the plums on this tree must be bitter." "Everyone picked it and tasted it, and it was really bitter.
Although he is still just a child, Wang Rong's judgment is impressive. Wang Rong was born with plums, and when he grew up, he also started a plum business. Wang Rong could see that the plums on the roadside were bitter, and he could also grow a good plum tree, and he planted many plum trees in his yard, and the plums produced were very sweet.
Because he was afraid that someone would grow the same sweet plums after getting the plum kernel and rob his own business, every time he sold plums, Wang Rong had to find a way to drill the core of each plum and sell it again.
Wang Rong not only loves money, but also picks the door. During the Southern Dynasties, Liu Yiqing presided over the compilation of "The New Language of the World", which specially opened a "thrifty" course, which recorded nine typical deeds of cutting the door in the Wei and Jin dynasties, four of which were contributed by Wang Rong, and selling Li Zhuanhe was only one of them.
Coincidentally, another story about picking the door in the "Picking the Door" column is also related to plums. It is said that Wang Rong has a colleague named He Qiao, and his plums are also very sweet, and his wife's uncle Wang Ji came to visit. As a result, after grinding with Qiao for a long time, I took dozens of plums out. Because of this, He Qiao also became a big brother.
People send dozens of plums to relatives to eat, and people feel that they are picky, and Wang Rong's behavior of selling plums and having to drill cores can only be regarded as strange. From this point of view, Wang Rong is indeed the No. 1 iron rooster in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and he stubbornly turned the "Picking the Door" column into his own column.
Although he has become a well-known iron rooster, Wang Rong himself may have a different view on this: he may love money, but he does not love "so". When Wang Rong was nineteen years old, his father, Wang Hun, died. Wang Hun was very famous at that time, and his old colleagues pooled millions of dollars together to give Wang Rong as condolence money. Wang Rong saw these huge sums of money and resolutely refused to accept them. He knew that he loved money, but he couldn't let it ruin his father's good reputation in life.
After the return of the Three Kingdoms, Wang Rong was promoted to the Marquis of Anfeng County for his merits, and later he was continuously promoted. At that time, Liu Zhao, the Taishou of Nanjun, gave Wang Rong fifty pieces of muslin, and Wang Rong knew that Liu Zhao was bribing, so he returned the gift, but did not report Liu Zhao's illegal behavior, and wrote a letter of thanks to Liu Zhao.
This incident was later caught, so someone criticized Wang Rong verbally and penally: thank you for not reporting it, which shows that Wang Rong is not a good person. Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan, said: "Wang Rong is not selfish in doing this, and he is not trying to embarrass his colleagues!" "It turns out that the emperor is a clear-eyed person, you ministers criticize Wang Rong, but do you have clean hands yourself?
At the age of seventy-one, Wang Rong was held hostage by Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, and was forced to participate in the war against Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and finally fled to Jiaxian in the war. At that time, Jiaxian County suffered a famine, and the county commander Hua Tan was trying to comfort the people, and Wang Rong donated 300 pieces of grain to help the people after knowing about it. At that time, 1 stone was 1 stone, and 1 stone was about 120 catties, which was considerable. Wang Rong spent his last days feasting and drinking to entertain himself, and left the turbulent world a year before the end of the Eight Kings Rebellion (305).
Wang Rong left many interesting stories to posterity, but the era in which he lived was not so interesting and very dark. Bloody killings continued to be staged on the roads of the Wei, Jin, and Chan dynasties. Soon after the return of the Three Kingdoms, the 16-year-long Eight Kings Rebellion ushered in. In the bloody era, celebrities like Wang Rong wanted to stay out of the matter but couldn't help themselves, and they had to walk on thin ice after joining the office.
He is a genius boy and the younger brother of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", he has a lot of labels in his life, but he is often discussed by later generations because of his slamming of the door and the ups and downs of the world. He was a smart man, and perhaps a helpless ordinary person in that troubled world.
