In the state of Qin, there was a man called Shang Yang. He worked out many reforms(改革) for the state, like paying more attention to farming and giving rewards(奖励) to soldiers who were successful when at war.
But it was difficult to carry out these reforms at first. Most people didn't trust Shang Yang. In order to solve this problem, Shang Yang came up with an idea. He put a thin wooden pole(杆) at the south gate of Qin's capital. Many people came to see him and the wooden pole.
Then in front of the crowd, Shang Yang said loudly, “The man who takes this wooden pole to the north gate will get 10 gold pieces.”
It was a simple thing and the reward was so large. However, some time passed and no one came out of the crowd. They all thought Shang Yang was making a joke.
Hearing no answer, Shang Yang then said, “The reward goes to 50 gold pieces.”
This reward was unbelievably large. Finally, a man came out of the crowd. He put the pole on his shoulder and walked to the north gate. True to his word, Shang Yang gave the man 50 gold pieces.
After that, the people of Qin were all talking about what Shang Yang did with the pole. They believed he was a man of his word. So when Shang Yang began doing his reforms, the people followed him.
