1, Shang Yang builds trees to win trust.
Shang Yang is the phase of Qin Xiaogong and wants to be a new law. In order to win the trust of the people, Shang Yang set up a three-pillar tree at the south gate of the country, recruited people who could move the tree to the north gate, and gave twelve taels of gold. People are surprised at this practice, and no one dares to touch this piece of wood. Then, Shang Yang informed the people that whoever could move would be given fifty gold.
A brave man finally carried this piece of wood, and Shang Yang immediately rewarded him with fifty gold to show his integrity. This way of winning the trust of the people finally convinced the people that the new law was credible, thus enabling the new law to be implemented smoothly.
