The Biography of Schiller Part 2(26)

Let go of the past and let go of the heart. Shi Le said that in the third year of the King of Zhao, he asked the people of Wuxiang County, his hometown, to come to Xiangguo..They sat in rows, drank happily, and talked about their daily lives. There was a man named Li Yang, who used to be Shi Le's neighbor. They fought over the land and beat each other every year. Now Shi Le became the king of Zhao, so he did not dare to come. Shi Le said that he had won the trust of all over the world, but he had no personal grudge, so he sent Li Yang to have a good drink and banter with him. He said to Li Yang, "In the past, I hated your old fists, and you were full of your poisonous hands." So he granted Li Yang the first district and the title of military lieutenant. He also explained that Wuxiang was his old hometown, and his soul would return to his hometown after his death, which meant that he would be relieved from the third class service in his hometown. Obviously, this way of touching people's hearts with nostalgia would have some effect.

Cultural and economic
Shi Le attached great importance to education and supported himself in Duanbu Xianbei and Wuhuan one after another. Wang Jun was weak and settled in Sizhou and Jizhou. When people began to pay taxes and rents, he set up the Tai Xue in Putian. Later, Shi Le added more than ten primary schools in Xiangguo, such as Xuan Wen, Xuan education, Confucianism and Chongxun, and selected the children of his subordinates and powerful families to attend the schools. Shille even visited schools to assess students' understanding of the meaning of classics and was rewarded for good results.
