If you can use an idiom correctly in life, you can often express your meaning clearly and skillfully. So do you really know the origin of these idioms? Most of them are cultural treasures that have been handed down over thousands of years, so it is also interesting for everyone to know their historical origins. So today, the author will talk with you about the story of Meng Tianjun and the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit.
The mouse does not trust to one hole only
Meng Yijun's original name was Tian Wen, and his fief was in Xuecheng. As we all know, among the four princes of the Warring States, Meng Tianjun is famous because he has three thousand guests, which means that Meng Tianjun must take care of the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of these three thousand people with his own strength. It sounds like a shocking number, and I can't imagine where such a huge expense would come from.
In fact, Meng Tianjun at that time also faced this dilemma. So he was in his fiefdom, issuing bonds to the peasants, collecting interest himself, and one day the housekeeper reported to Meng Tianjun that there was no surplus grain in the family, and after a little thought, Meng Tianjun decided to let Feng Chen collect rent. So who is this Feng Chen? This is a good thing to say, because he is also one of the protagonists of the story.

Feng Chen's family was very poor, how poor was it? It is no exaggeration to describe it as "the thieves came to their house with tears in their eyes", but this person did not feel embarrassed at all. He came to meng tianjun, and meng tianjun saw the rags and rags he was wearing, although he didn't say it in his mouth, but his heart was also more contemptuous, so he made him a third-class doorman.
Basically, no matter what kind of food, you can eat enough. It is reasonable to say that this treatment was enough to make him happy at that time, but Feng Chen was not satisfied, after he finished eating, he knocked on his unsheathed sword and began to sing, the general content was to express dissatisfaction with the meal he ate, Meng Tianjun heard the news from the housekeeper, and actually promoted him to a second-class doorman according to Feng Chen's request, with big fish and big meat every day.
However, Feng Chen was still not satisfied, and he hated that he did not have a carriage to go out, and the housekeeper reported the matter to Meng Yijun. Meng Yujun thought to himself, since he could make so many requests, it showed that he also had the corresponding ability to be worthy of these treatments, so he responded to Feng Chen's requests, and finally even his old mother took over.

In this way, Feng Chen jumped from a third-class doorman to a first-class doorman, what method did he use? Every day after eating, singing and expressing his dissatisfaction. The author thought to himself, if Feng Chen is in the modern workplace, it is estimated that he will not even be able to pass the probation period, and he will have to roll up and leave. If you don't show your true ability to make a request first, you can mix it up, and it can only be said that he will indeed hang people's appetite.
So when it came to the matter of collecting rent, Meng Yujun wanted to test Feng Chen's true ability to see if his treasure was right in the end. And Feng Chen, because Meng Tianjun met his requirements, was also willing to do things in a down-to-earth manner, and when he left, he asked what he needed to buy back, and Meng Tianjun was already anxious, so he said that he would follow Mr. Ben! Therefore, Feng Chen drove a carriage to the fiefdom of Xuecheng and collected rent from the local people, but his way of collecting rent was a little different from others.
He collected the rent that could be collected, and what could not be collected was not only not persecuted, but served them with good wine and good meat, and after asking the reason for the rent arrears, he burned the vouchers with a fire. He also falsely passed on Meng Tianjun's words and told the local people that Meng Tianjun was sincerely lending them money, not to collect interest, and if he really couldn't afford it, the local people were even more grateful to Meng Tianjun because of this matter.
Feng Chen burned the deed
Feng Chen, who returned to Xiang Province, told Meng Yujun what he had done. I have to say that he was really bold enough, not only did things not work out, but also burned the original rent collection vouchers, and even told Meng Tianjun so generously, and he was not afraid of being blamed. In the face of Meng Tianjun's questioning, he analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of rent collection and non-rent collection, and told Meng Tianjun that the people's hearts were the most important, saying that Meng Tianjun was dumbfounded for a while.
Later, because of this incident, Meng Tianjun's reputation quickly overshadowed the King of Qi, and his opponent King Hui of Wei released a message saying that the qi people only knew that there was Meng Tianjun, but did not know that there was a King of Qi, which made the King of Qi furious and drove Meng Tianjun back to his fiefdom, and the three thousand disciples under Meng Tianjun could only leave in four places, and only Feng Chen could not abandon it.
Meng Yujun, who arrived at Xuecheng, did not have the imaginary downfall, but was warmly welcomed by the local people, and at this time he truly understood the meaning of the people's heart and understood Feng Chen's painstaking heart. However, Feng Chen was not satisfied with this matter, and he told Meng Tianjun that the cunning rabbit would have to have three caves to avoid the fate of being killed. As long as you believe me, I can find you two more places to live.
Stills of Meng Yijun
At this time, Meng Tianjun was already grateful, so he said that everything was arranged by Mr. Meng. So Feng Chen went to the State of Wei and told the King of Wei that he who said that Meng Tastejun would win the world, and when Meng Tastejun was degraded, he quickly pulled him over, which could add a boost to himself. King Hui of Wei was deeply impressed, so he ordered someone to take a heavy amount of money to ask Meng Yijun to be an official. Using this method, Feng Chen returned to the State of Qi and spoke to the King of Qi, who deeply felt that he had missed a good opportunity, so he immediately sent someone to Xuecheng to pick up Meng Yijun as the prime minister.
In this way, Meng Yujun, who had been rejected by everyone, suddenly became a fragrant feast, not only with the territory of Xue Cheng, but even the State of Wei and the State of Qi had their own places to live, and he was able to sit back and relax and continue to be an official, and the idiom of "Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit" was also passed down with this story.
