Wei Wenhou, then Ye Ling, was a famous politician, water conservancy scientist and historical water conservancy celebrity. He made a great contribution.

When I first arrived in Yecheng (now Linzhang County, Hebei Province), I saw that it was sparsely populated, the fields were deserted and depressed, and everything was waiting for prosperity, so I decided to improve the status quo. Later, he took advantage of Hebo's marriage to punish the local bullies, and then issued a law prohibiting witchcraft. Educate the public. Those who fled before also returned to their homes.

At the same time, he personally led people to investigate the water source and mobilized the people to dig 12 canals around the Zhanghe River, making a large area of land a fertile field for drought and flood. While developing agricultural production, it also implemented the policy of "raising soldiers through agriculture and storing grain for the people", which soon made Yecheng rich and strong and became an important town in the northeast of Wei during the Warring States Period.

Ximen Bao's thought and action of "Honesty for the People" still have profound enlightenment to us today. As the saying goes, "a promise is as good as a thousand dollars", "A person doesn't know what he can do if he doesn't believe it." Honesty and trustworthiness is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation. Today, for our party and leading cadres at all levels, keeping faith with the people will win their trust and support; If we don't keep our promises to the people, we will make them feel at a loss, and they will feel disgusted and complain about being cheated. We will lose the support of the people and even be opposed by the people.
