Sun Shuai is a hermit of Chu State. Premier Qiu Yu recommended him to Chu Zhuangwang and hoped that he would take over his post. Sun Shuai was promoted in March. He governed the people, taught them, and made the officials and the people harmonious and United. His customs were very beautiful. He is lenient and not harsh in power, but he is forbidden. Officials do not do evil or cheat, and people do not steal. In autumn and winter, he encourages people to cut down trees on the mountain. In spring and summer, he uses the rising river to transport wood out of the mountain. People have their own convenient way of making a living, and they all live happily.
King Zhuang thought that the original coins of Chu were too light, so he ordered the small coins to be changed into large ones. It is inconvenient for people to use them. They give up their business. The CEO in charge of the market reported to Sun Shuaio, the country's prime minister: "The market is very chaotic, and no one can trust to do business there. The order is very unstable. " Sun Shuai asked, "How long has it been like this?" The city order replied, "It has been three months." Sun Shuaio said: "Needless to say, I will try my best to restore the market to its original state."
Five days later, he remonstrated with King Zhuang and said, "I used to change coins because I thought the old ones were too light. Now the urban order report says that' the market is chaotic, no one can make a living there with peace of mind, and the order is very unstable'. I request an immediate order to restore the old monetary system. " King Zhuang agreed, and only three days after the order was issued, the market returned to its original appearance. The folk custom of Chu is to take a low car. The king of Chu thought that it was not convenient to ride a horse with a low car, and wanted to order it to be changed to a high one.
Sun Shuai, Prime Minister of China, once said, "It is not good for people to be at a loss because of repeated decrees. If you must change your car to a higher level, I ask the villagers to raise the threshold. Passengers are gentlemen of status. They can't get off the bus frequently because they cross the threshold, and the base of natural cars will rise. " The king of Chu agreed to his request.
After half a year, the upward trend followed the downward trend, and the people automatically built their cars higher. This is Sun Shuai who was born to obey his education and did not order people to be controlled. People around him follow his example when they see his words and deeds with their own eyes, and people far away follow his example when they look at the changes around them. Therefore, Sun Shuai's triple crown is not complacent. He knows that it was achieved by his own talent. I don't regret leaving the phase three times, because he knows that he is not wrong.
Taishi Gong said, "With Sun Shuai's words, the market order in Yingdu was restored. When he died of illness, the people of Zheng wept bitterly. That official Hugh saw that his wife's cloth was very good and kicked her out of the house. Shi Shefang released his father and committed suicide, which made King Zhao of Chu establish a good reputation. Li Li was wrongly convicted of murder and fell to his death to help Jin Wengong clean the national law. "

Brief introduction of Sun Shuai 'ao.
Sun Shuai 'ao (about 630 BC-about 593 BC), also known as Ji 'ao, Hunting or Ji Rao, was named Mi. Shi, Ren and Zi Sun Shu, a famous figure of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, made great contributions to the art of war and water conservancy.
Sun Shuai was called "Uncle Sun" because his son Sun An was named "Sun Qiu" (that is, "Sleeping Qiu"). People in the pre-Qin dynasty used to put words before their names, so people in Chu called them "Sun Shuai".
Grandpa? Lv Chen, father? Jia. There's a saying in Mencius' Gao Zi Xia that "Sun Bin is in the sea". Legend has it that his father? Jia and Qiu Jiazi became enemies and were killed by them. So, Sun Shuai's family hid in the "Keith" along the Huaihai River (now Keith Town, Huaibin, Henan Province). Therefore, some people say that Zhuang Wang called Sun Shuai to Yu Haibin and worshipped him as the Prime Minister (Lingyin).
Sun Shuai saw a two-headed snake in the wild when he was young. At that time, the local custom said that anyone who saw the snake would die. Sun Shuai cut it down and buried it first, lest others see it and suffer for themselves.
In 60 1 year BC, Sun Shuai became a hermit of Chu, and presided over the construction of Shaopi (now Anfengtang) during his tenure to strengthen agricultural production. So Sima Qian praised him as the first minister of Historical Records. It also helped Chu win the Battle of Thailand.
Sun Shuai lived a clean life and died without a coffin. Sun Shuai has children and grandchildren, but he knows that Sun An is just a mediocre man. On his deathbed, he told Sun An that he didn't ask for an official position, but only asked Sun Qiu (that is, "Sleeping Mountain", now Gushi County, Henan Province) to be a fief. Sun An obeyed his father's instruction and refused Chu Zhuangwang's request to be an official, as long as the mausoleum was used as a fief. Buried in a remote and barren land, no one contended, and the son of Sun Shuai lived here for generations.
