One is Cao Hong. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's cousin Cao Hong saved Cao Cao several times with his life. Fighting against Cao Cao, he repeatedly made meritorious military service and was worshipped as a general. After xelloss proclaimed himself emperor, Cao Hong was appointed as General Wei, later promoted to General A title of generals in ancient times, sealed the title of Hou, and later transferred to Duyanghou. When Cao Cao was a frequent visitor, he personally took the lead in transferring storage in the county every month. Even Cao Cao denied Cao Hongcun's money. In 2000, it was recorded that Cao Hong was the richest man under Cao Cao. Cao Hong was stingy and almost lost his life.
The thing is this: When the emperor Cao Pi of Wei Wendi was still a prince, he once asked Cao Hong to borrow a hundred silks. Cao Hong felt dreary exercise and refused to borrow any excuse, which annoyed xelloss. Cao Pi, who has always held a grudge, tried to put the uncle in prison and prepare to execute him after he acceded to the throne. Later, due to the mediation of Queen Bian, Cao survived his death, but his official position and title were reduced.
The second is Wang Rong. In the famous Wei Lue, there is a chapter devoted to "frugality". There are nine stories. Four of them are about Wang Rong, a famous man from Guan Ju to Stuart.
Frugality said, "Wang Xiaoqi has been married since he was a child, and later he became more responsible." In other words, Wang Rong was born stingy, and one of his nephews got married. As an uncle, Wang Rong had to accompany a member: "Give him a thin coat". However, after that, Wang Rong was very upset and went 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 _ and borrowed tens of thousands of dollars", which means that Wang Rong's daughter married Pei's son and borrowed tens of thousands of dollars from her father. "When a woman comes back, she will eventually be unhappy." The daughter went back to her mother's house and forgot to give her father tens of thousands of dollars, which made her biological father unhappy. "Women pay back the money" means that Wang Rong's daughter will pay back the money soon. In this case, Wang Rong is "relieved".
Wang Rong is very rich. World Newspeak says he is "expensive and rich, belongs to Charlotte and lives in Mu Zhi." However, due to his meanness, he has no interest in daily consumption. He is bent on laying eggs. Qian Shengqian is in a leading position in the field of personal finance. But even a small toothpick should be made by yourself, in order to save these coins. Good plums were planted at home, and he sold them 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 he lights candles with his wife, he makes a plan".
However, it is such a guy with such a secular heart who has contributed a very romantic idiom to us. Wang Rong's wife often calls Wang Rong "Qing". Wang Rong said: "If a woman's husband doesn't salute, don't reply in the future." His wife said, "I love you because you love you. If I don't call you, who will? " Wang Rong had to let go. The idiom "very much in love with me" comes from this code.
It's been three weeks. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zhou, the right general, was appointed as a five-product official by his family and held an important position. The development of Zhou power was suspected by Wang Dun. So, Wang Dun quietly teamed up with Shen Shi, the cremation of Jiangnan, to jointly crusade against Zhou. When Zhou heard the news, it was already Enemy at the Gates, and hundreds of people went out of the city to meet them.
In Zhou's warehouse, there are some well-made weapons, and his subordinates suggest that he take them out as soon as possible to equip the soldiers. What makes people laugh and cry is that Zhou is reluctant to give up and distribute inferior weapons to soldiers. Seeing that Zhou is still so stingy at the critical moment of life and death, his foot soldiers have no determination to work for him. As a result, under the impact of the enemy, the whole army was wiped out and Zhou was killed.
Zagreb, who died in the despicable Zhou Dynasty, was the father and third son of the famous early Zhou Dynasty in history.
The fourth is Xiao Ji. Xiao Ji, the king of Wuling in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, was the eighth son of Liang Wudi and was rarely favored by his father. He wants rain and wind, and shouldn't take money seriously, but he is extremely stingy, and every penny should be carefully calculated.
Xiao Ji is resourceful. She went to Ningzhou and Yueguo in the south, spread Zi Ling and Tuguhun in the west, and advised farmers and mulberry in the west to communicate with foreign businessmen. With deep pockets and adequate armor, you could have been king, but because of this trivial problem, you finally became "die before you conquer."
Historically, Xiao Ji once led an army to attack Jiangling. He melted gold into cakes, and a basket of cakes 100 was filled with more than 100 baskets and hung high. Silver is five or six times as much as gold, and there are countless kinds of silks and satins to encourage soldiers to fight bravely. But this miser just feasts everyone's eyes. At the end of every war, he never commented on his achievements. There was chaos in the army, and nine times out of ten defectors fell into cross-strait 14 cities in a very short time. Xiaoji was defeated and died in the army.
Fifth, Yuan Zong lost money. Xie Ming Shi Shuo Xin Yu records that there was a man named Kui in the Tang Dynasty whose official position was Sima. One of his maids died, so he told the housekeeper on duty, "My old maid is dead. She has lived in my house for several years and 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 and told everyone what Yuan Zongkui said. People in one state are laughing at this stingy Sima Tai, and take his words as jokes in their spare time.
There is another record about this matter: Emperor Yuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was Sima, and a servant girl died. The punishment ended when the temple said, "The old maid of Wei Xiao's family is dead, and I hurried for a long time to find her coffin and have a funeral. Kui was poor at first and couldn't afford a new one, but once she used it, she could make up for it. You don't have to buy Yunjun's own needs. " To put it bluntly, a country thinks it is ammunition.
Zheng Liu is a man. Record: Ren Kai was a secretariat of Mizhou, and a slave told him to wear it. Kay: "Weng makes shoes for you." After a while, the doorman came with new shoes, which were in the tree in front of the hall? Woodpecker's nest, leaving the janitor to take his son away from the tree. The husband took off his shoes, but Kelly was still wearing them. Men's doors are like men's feet. There is cade color.
The governor of Mizhou, Zheng, is really anxious and funny. One of his servants begged him to buy a pair of shoes. Zheng said, "It's easy. I'll find you a pair of shoes. " After a while, the doorman came in wearing shoes. Zheng deliberately ordered the doorman to climb trees and dig the nest. When the doorman took off his shoes and climbed up the tree, he secretly let the page put on the doorman's shoes and left. The guard got off the tree and found 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, there is a fixed amount of rice; 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 dressed him, but Wei Zhuang took off his clothes and buried him in the old straw mat where the child used to sleep. After the burial, Wei Zhuang brought back a straw mat.
Eight is Zhang _. After the Five Dynasties and the Han Dynasty, Zhang _, assistant minister of the official department, was also notoriously stingy. Even his wife, Zhang _ won't give her a penny more. Afraid that his wife would steal his money, he pinned all kinds of keys to his waist and began to jingle. At first glance, he looks like a woman with many earrings and jewels on her body. After the mutiny in Guo Wei, Zhang escaped in a ruined temple, but the soldiers took all his keys. When he got home, he had been robbed. Zhang _ heart ached. Wow, blood is pouring out like crazy. In less than half a day, he died.
Nine is Li Yue. Song He said in a new language: It belongs to the Ming Dynasty and is the magistrate of Cai Zhou in Shangcai County. Li Yue is so stingy that it is hard to understand how he does things. Their family seldom eats meat all the year round. Every time they worship their ancestors 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. Then, they put the money on several plates as sacrifices to their ancestors. And prayed: "wine is bought with the money I used as an official, pure and lovely;" I borrowed meat from the butcher shop. It is delicious. Because things are too busy to buy fruit, I use money as fruit. "After the sacrifice, they greeted the buyer with meat and said," Give the meat back to the butcher shop quickly. "People laughed at him for being stingy.
It's ten Tang Bin. Tang Bin, the governor of Jiangning, was known as a "famous official of Neo-Confucianism" during the reign of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, and was a representative of Zhu Chengxue at that time. Tang Bin is famous for his poverty and meanness. According to relevant literature, one day, the old teacher had a whim. When I checked his ledger, I found an egg on it, and I suddenly went into a rage: "I have never eaten an egg since I came to Suzhou. Who bought it? " The servant replied that he was a son. He invited his son and knelt down in court to scold him: "Do you think that eggs in Suzhou and eggs in Henan are the same price? I want to eat eggs and go back to my hometown in Henan. "
