At that time, at a time of frequent wars and panic, in order to promote political reform, Shang Yang ordered a 30-foot-long wood to be erected outside the south gate of the capital, and made a promise in public: whoever can move this wood to the north gate will be rewarded with 10 Liang. None of the onlookers believe that such an easy thing can get such a high reward, so no one is willing to try. Therefore, Shang Yang raised the reward to 50 Liang.
