The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
There are no wonders in the world. Historically, there have been many rich and expensive misers, many of whom are still officials in important positions.
One: Cao Hong
Cao Hong, a cousin of Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, sacrificed his life several times to save Cao Cao, accompanied Cao Cao in his southern conquests and northern wars, repeatedly made meritorious conquests, and was worshipped as a general of the capital protection. Cao Pi was proclaimed empress dowager, and Cao Hong was made a wei general, then promoted to general of the Hun Horse, and the marquis of Fengye, and then the marquis of Duyang.
When Cao Cao was serving as Sikong, he personally took the lead in storing each month in the county, and even Cao Cao did not recognize cao Cao's savings. Here's the thing:
When Emperor Wen of Wei was still serving as crown prince, he once asked Cao Hong to borrow a hundred silks. Cao Hong felt flesh pain and did everything to excuse himself from borrowing, which annoyed Cao Pi. After Cao Pi, who had always harbored a grudge, ascended the throne, he found a way to take the cousin to prison and prepare to execute him. Later, thanks to Empress Bian's intercession, Cao Hong was spared death, but was punished by cutting his official position and reducing his title.

It is Wang Rong who says that he is miserly by nature, and one of his nephews is married, and Wang Rong, as an uncle, of course, must follow a part: "Give him a single piece of clothing." However, after that, Wang Rong was heartbroken and ran to the people's house to ask for it back.
Even for his own daughter, Wang Rong did not go anywhere. "Wang Rong's daughter is suitable for Pei Jun, and she has borrowed tens of thousands of dollars", that is to say, Wang Rong's daughter married the prince of the Pei family and borrowed tens of thousands of dollars from her father. "Female returnees, rong color is not pleased."
When the daughter returned to her mother's house, she forgot to return the tens of thousands of dollars to her father, which made her father very unhappy. "The daughter repays the money", that is, Wang Rong's daughter quickly returns the money, in this case, Wang Rong is "relieved".
Wang Rong was very wealthy, and the "New Sayings of the World" said that he was "both expensive and rich, and the district house, the servant herd, the genus of the anointing field and the water, Luoxia is incomparable." But the miserly man has no interest in daily consumption, bent on making eggs and money, dominating the world in personal finance.
But even a small toothpick has to be made by yourself, in order to save these copper plates of money. When the family planted the best plums, he sold them at a high price, but because he was afraid that others would use his plums as seeds to cultivate good plums, he took off the cores in the plums beforehand.
Wang Rong's favorite thing to do every night is: "Every time I candle with my wife, I scatter the calculations." However, it is such a guy with such a worldly heart that has contributed to us a very romantic idiom" "Qingqing me me". Wang Rong's wife often refers to Wang Rong as "Qing".
Wang Rong said, "The woman's concubine, Yu Li is disrespectful, and she should not be reinstated." His wife said: "Dear Qingqing, it is Qingqing." I'm not Qingqing, who's going to be Qingqing?" Wang Rong had no choice but to resign himself. The idiom "Qingqing me and I" is derived from this code.

"I've never eaten eggs when I came to Suzhou, who bought them?" The next person replied that it was a son. He then summoned his son, knelt down in the court, and counted: "You think that eggs in Suzhou are the same price as in Henan?" If you want to eat eggs, go back to your hometown in Henan..."
There are two ways to say it
1. A person went to the temple, coveted the gold powder on the temple door, and cut it down before leaving.
2, there is a person who is stingy enough to be reluctant to install a door handle, and every time he opens the door, he must use his fingernails to cut it.
These two statements do not know whether they are true or false, but they are indeed very image ~ ~ But some people say that this miserliness (door slamming) is actually a rare mental illness. Don't blame him, he's a sick man who is stingy not only to others, but also to himself. In the eyes of such people, the life and death of a loved one are not as important as money. Such patients are generally very wealthy, suspicious, insecure, and basically incurable.
