Zhang Gongyi, a famous birthday star in ancient times, was born in the first year of Northern Qi, experienced several dynasties of Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, Sui Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty, and was repeatedly honored by the imperial court because of his high life.
Zhang Gongyi is a reader and has been an official for several years. He runs his family well, and his family has lived together for nine generations, and more than 900 people live together. He has a reputation for prestige in the family, and under his management, this huge family appears to be in order, everyone lives in harmony, and there are few disputes within the family, which is a beautiful talk for a while.
It is said that Tang Gaozong once wanted to embarrass this old man, gave the old man two pears, and asked him to distribute them to 900 people in the family to eat, who knew that the old man solved the problem with one move. What's going on here?
In the second year of Tang Linde, Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian led the minister of culture and martial arts to Taishan to seal Zen, and when the car passed Shouzhang, they heard that the ninth emperor of the Zhang family lived together, was harmonious and generous, and every dynasty was commended, so they paid a visit. Zhang Gongyi was very surprised by the emperor's visit, but did not show cowardice, but respectfully invited Emperor Gaozong into the house.
Zhang Gongyi wanted to show his ability to manage the family in front of the emperor, so he ordered people to prepare some dog food, knocked the gong, and more than 100 dogs of the entire family ran over, but none of them ate privately, and only after all the dogs arrived, they started together.
Emperor Gaozong was very surprised, but he did not expect Zhang Gongyi to manage even the family dog in such an orderly manner. But at the same time of surprise, Emperor Gaozong also had a trace of displeasure, he was an emperor, but Zhang Gongyi showed himself a dog to eat, and he was quite disrespectful to himself, so he wanted to make it difficult for him.
Tang Gaozong gave Zhang Gongyi two pears, and asked him to evenly distribute these two pears to more than 900 people in the family, and no one could eat more, nor could one person eat less. Faced with Emperor Gaozong's problem, Zhang Gongyi showed difficulty.
Two pears are distributed to more than 900 people, if the chef's knife work can be done, in fact, it can still be done, the difficulty is that one person does not eat more, one person eats a lot, which is somewhat difficult to grasp.
Tang Gaozong saw that Zhang Gongyi did not speak for a long time, showing a proud look, thinking about how he should punish Zhang Gongyi if he couldn't do it. Who knew that after a long while, Zhang Gongyi's frowning brows stretched, and he came up with a way to perfectly solve Emperor Gaozong's difficulties.
It turned out that Zhang Gongyi ordered the people to smash the two pears thoroughly, crush them into juice, and then add water to make pear juice, and then evenly distribute them to each tribesman, so that everyone ate pears, and one person did not eat more, and one person ate a lot.
Emperor Gaozong looked at Zhang Gongyi's handling method, laughed, and admired Zhang Gongyi immensely, so he no longer minded his crime of disrespect and gave up his mind to continue to make things difficult for him. Emperor Gaozong asked how Zhang Gongyi could live together for a long time without contradictions, and such a big family could be harmonious? It is not easy for the father to live together.
Zhang Gongyi replied that there was no other way. The old man manages the family, all relying on a family discipline and a word of forbearance. It is normal for families to have contradictions, but as long as they can be calm and calm, and tolerate more in trouble, they will naturally be able to get along harmoniously.
Emperor Gaozong thoughtfully, the management of the family is so, then the management of the country is also the same, in case of many kindness, calmness, and harmony, the country will inevitably be able to be harmonious and peaceful.
Inspired by this, when Emperor Gaozong governed the country in the future, he endured and spontaneously endured, thought of the people, cared for the people, cherished the people's strength, and the national strength of the Tang Empire also flourished in peace.
