Who is Xu Gao?

Sherlock, Abagong, Grandet, Poliuxijin, Yan Jiansheng.

One is Cao Hong. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Hong was the cousin of Cao Cao, and he laid down his life several times to save Cao Cao. With Cao Cao's voyage to the Western Ocean, he repeatedly made meritorious military service and was worshipped as a general of Wan Forbidden Guard. After xelloss proclaimed himself emperor, he appointed Cao Hong as General Wei, and later he was promoted to a title of generals in ancient times, and became a vassal of the wild, and later he was appointed as Duke Yang. When Cao Cao was a mediocrity, he personally took the lead to transfer to the county every month. Cao Hong's money was not as good as Cao Cao's. According to Wei Lue, Cao Hong is the richest man under Cao Cao. Cao Hong was so mean that he almost died for it.

The thing is this: When Cao Pi, the Emperor of Wei Wen, was a prince, he borrowed one hundred silks from Cao Hong. Cao Hong felt dreary exercise and refused to borrow it under various excuses, which annoyed xelloss. After Cao Pi, who had always held a grudge, acceded to the throne, he tried to put his uncle in prison and prepare to be executed. Later, due to the mediation of Empress Bian, Cao survived his death, but his official position and title were reduced.

The second is Wang Rong. In the famous Shi Shuo Xin Yu, there is a special chapter "frugality" with nine stories. Four of them are about Wang Rong, a famous official in Si Tuleideng.

"frugality" in Shi Shuo Xin Yu said, "Wang was stingy, married from his son, and later became more responsible." That is to say, Wang Rong said that he was stingy by nature. When one of his nephews got married, Wang Rong, as an uncle, would of course go with him: "Give him a thin coat". However, Wang Rong, distressed, ran to someone else's house to get it back.

Even for his own daughter, Wang Rong is not generous. "Wang Rong's daughter is suitable for Pei Wei and borrowed tens of thousands of dollars", which means that her daughter married Pei's son and borrowed tens of thousands of dollars from her father. When my daughter returned to her mother's house, she forgot to pay back the tens of thousands of dollars given by her father, which made her father very unhappy. "The woman pays back the money", which means that Wang Rong's daughter will pay back the money soon. In this case, Wang Rong is "relieved".

Wang Rong is very rich. According to Shi Shuo Xin Yu, he is "both expensive and rich. He belongs to a family of houses, boys and herders, and he is very rich. " However, stingy, he has no interest in daily consumption and is bent on letting eggs lay eggs. Qian Shengqian leads the way in the field of personal finance. But even a small toothpick needs to be made by itself, in order to save these copper coins. He sold the good plums planted at home at a high price, but he was afraid that others would use his plums as seeds to cultivate good plums, so he removed the seeds of plums in advance. Wang Rong's favorite thing to do every night is: "Every time I light a candle with my wife, I make a plan." .

However, it is such a guy with such a secular heart who contributed the idiom "very much in love with me" to us. Wang Rong's wife often calls Wang Rong "Qing". Wang Rong said: "A woman is a husband. It is disrespectful to be polite. Don't reply in the future." His wife said, "I love you because of you. If I don't call, who will? " Wang Rong had to let it go (according to World Newspeak, Confusion and Drowning, 35). The idiom "very much in love with me" comes from this code.

The third is Zhou Zha. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zhou Za, the right general, was a five-member Hou and held an important position. The development of Zhou's power was doubted by the powerful Wang Dun. So, Wang Dun quietly joined forces with the cremation of Shen Shi in the south of the Yangtze River to jointly crusade against Zhou. When Zhou got the news that the enemy was at the gate, he was ready to lead hundreds of his men out of the city to meet them in a hurry.

In Zhou za's warehouse, there were a number of well-made weapons, and his men advised him to take them out quickly to equip the soldiers. What makes people laugh and cry is that Zhou za was reluctant to give up and gave the inferior weapons to the soldiers. Seeing that Zhou is still so stingy at the critical moment of life and death, the foot soldiers have no determination to work for him. As a result, Zhou was defeated and killed by the enemy.

Zhou za, who died of meanness, is the famous early Zhou in history. He is the third son at the beginning of the week.

The fourth is Xiao Ji. Xiao Ji, king of Wuling in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, was the eighth son of Liang Wudi. He is seldom loved by his father. He wants wind, rain and rain. He is extremely stingy when he should not take money seriously, and every penny should be carefully calculated.

Xiao Ji is quite skilled. He can be in charge of Ningzhou and Vietnamese troops in the south, Zi Ling and Tuguhun in the west, farmers and mulberry in the mainland, and businessmen connecting outside. His wealth is abundant and his equipment is accumulated. But because of this petty flaw, he finally became a "dead before he could conquer".

Historically, Xiao Ji once led an army to attack Jiangling. He melted gold into cakes, a basket of 100 gold cakes, and more than 100 baskets hung high, while silver was five or six times as much as gold, and there were countless kinds of silks and satins to encourage soldiers to kill the enemy bravely, while the miser just feasted everyone. The morale of the army is in chaos. Nine times out of ten, the defectors fell into 14 cities on both sides of the strait in a very short time. Xiao Ji was defeated, and he himself died in the disorderly army.

Fifth, Yuan Zong lost. Xie Ming Zhao Zhe's Five Miscellanies records that there was a man named Kui in the Tang Dynasty, whose official position was Sima. One of his handmaids died, so he ordered the housekeeper on duty to say, "My old handmaid is dead. She has lived in my house for several years, so she should find a coffin for her funeral. I'm new here, and my family is too poor to buy a new coffin, as long as I can buy something that can be used. You don't have to say that my family wants to buy it, just say that your family wants to buy it. " The housekeeper went out to tell everyone about Yuan Zongkui's remarks. People in a state laughed at this Sima for being too stingy and took his remarks as a joke after dinner.

Tang Xinyu also recorded this incident: Tang Kui was Sima, and a maid died. The punishment was straight: "The old girl of Kuijia died, and it took a long time to find the coffin. Qui-gon was too poor to buy a new one when he got home, but he got it as soon as he used it. Don't buy it, Yunjun's family has its own needs. " As soon as you go out, a state thinks it is ammunition.

Sixth, Zheng. According to the records in one's hand and in one's hand, Ren Kai was the secretariat of Mizhou, and a little slave told him to wear it. Kay said, "Weng will take care of your shoes." After a while, the doorman came with new shoes. There were some on the tree in front of the hall. (Woodpecker) Here, the widow climbed the tree to find her son. The doorman took off his shoes, and Ling Kai slave left in them. Menfu is even a disciple. Kay has virtue.

This Zheng is the secretariat of Mizhou. He really cherishes money and is funny. A page in his family begged him to buy a pair of shoes. Zheng said, "It's easy. I'll find you a pair of shoes. " Soon, the doorman came in wearing shoes. Zheng deliberately ordered the doorman to climb the tree to dig the bird's nest. When the doorman took off his shoes and climbed up the tree, Zheng secretly let the page put on the doorman's shoes. The janitor got off the tree and looked for shoes everywhere, so he had to walk barefoot. Zheng is very proud of this.

Seven is Wei Zhuang. Wei Zhuang, a great poet in the Five Dynasties, is famous all over the world. And his meanness is as famous as his words. Every time Wei Zhuang cooks, how many meters he loses has a fixed weight; The firewood for cooking should also be weighed in advance; If he eats barbecue, he will know even if one piece is missing. Wei Zhuang had a son who died at the age of eight. When the child was buried, his wife put on the clothes before his death, but Wei Zhuang stripped them off and buried them with the old straw mat where the child used to sleep. And after the burial, Wei Zhuang also brought the straw mat back. ...

Eight is Zhang Yun. Zhang Yun, assistant minister of the official department, was also notoriously stingy in the Five Dynasties. Even his wife, Zhang Yun, won't give her an extra penny. He was afraid that his wife would steal his money, so he pinned all kinds of keys to his waist and began to jingle. At first glance, he sounds like a woman with many earrings and jewels hanging on her body. After the mutiny in Guo Wei, Zhang Yun escaped by hiding in a ruined temple, but the soldiers took all the keys. When he got home, he had been robbed, and Zhang Yun was heartbroken. Wow, blood gushed out, and he died in less than half a day.

Nine is Li Yue. Song Yuanliang and Chen Yuanliang recorded in the "Shilin Guangji" that Li Yue belonged to the Ming Dynasty and served as the magistrate of Shangcai County in Cai Zhou. Li Yue is so stingy that it is hard to understand how he does things. Their family seldom eats meat all the year round. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, they send purchasing staff to the butcher's shop to borrow a catty of cooked meat and put it in a basin, and then use several plates to hold money and write a few words to worship the ancestors. And pray: "wine is bought with the money I used as an official, pure and lovely;" I borrowed the meat from the butcher shop, and it was delicious. Because things are too busy to buy fruit, I use money as fruit. "After the sacrifice, he greeted the buyer with meat and said," Go back to the butcher shop quickly. "People laughed at him for being too stingy.

Ten is Tang Bin. Tang Bin, the governor of Jiangning, was honored as a "famous official of Neo-Confucianism" and was a representative of Zhu Cheng School at that time. Tang Bin is famous for his hard life, and his meanness is also famous. According to relevant literature, the old man had a whim one day, looked at the account book at home and found an egg on it. He suddenly flew into a rage: "I haven't eaten an egg since I came to Suzhou." Who bought it? " The servant replied that it was a son. He summoned his son and knelt in court and scolded, "Do you think the price of eggs in Suzhou is the same as that in Henan? If you want to eat eggs, go back to your hometown in Henan ... "
