What does Fu Chong mean? Seeking Chinese-style solutions

Shi Chong, a notorious figure, has been reviled by future generations for thousands of years because of his struggle with the rich bureaucrat Wang Kai.

Shi Chong is the richest man in the state of Jin. When he was the secretariat of Jingzhou, he ordered the security forces to pretend to be robbers, and completed the primitive accumulation of capital by robbing the wealthy businessman Dajia. Government officials robbed and robbed without anyone asking, so you can imagine how corrupt the bureaucracy of Jin State is! When the robbers became rich, Shi Chong bribed his boss with illegal money and became an official in Beijing. He joined the bureaucratic team sitting in the office taking bribes, accumulated more property and became a super-rich man in the state of Jin. He is building luxury rooms in Beijing, and his wife alone has more than 100. Everyone's head and hands are shining with golden light, and the jewelry he wears is priceless. Shi Chong's daily job is to eat, drink, go whoring and gamble with dignitaries and dudes, loiter and gamble tomorrow with stolen money. ...

Sima Yan's uncle Wang Kai accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars in furniture through nepotism, corruption and bribery. The official position and social status of this Weng are higher than that of Shi. After hearing about Shi Chong's wealth, his psychology was very unbalanced. In the years when the people were hungry and cold, he unexpectedly fought with the nouveau riche at the lower level. Shi Chong is a real fat man. He didn't realize the consequences of fighting with his uncle, so he accepted the challenge with confidence. The two started from the kitchen: Wang Kai used maltose to rinse the pot, and Shi Chong used candles as firewood; Then I bet on the road: Wang Kai used satin as a curtain on the 40-mile road, and Shi Chong sewed the 50-mile road into a splendid corridor; Finally, he went back to his house and made a bet: Wang Kai plastered the house with pepper, and Shi Chong painted it with red stone grease ... Wang Kai remembered his last trump card after repeated wars and defeats, so he went to the palace to visit his nephew Sima Yan and prayed for the emperor to help him. If Sima Yan has the emperor's style, he should persuade his uncle to stop this abnormal behavior immediately, and then rectify the extravagant bad style in the country; But Sima Yan's answer was that he took out a precious coral tree from the treasure house, about two feet high, and ordered his uncle to defeat Shi Chong. After Wang Kai got this royal treasure, his self-confidence instantly increased tenfold, proudly holding a coral tree to show off in front of Shi Chong. Shi Chong's answer is just visible to the house without saying a word, and he came back with an iron handle in his hand. Wang Kai thinks this guy must be crazy with jealousy. How much can Tieruyi be worth? Is it comparable to coral trees? Wang Kai is wondering, don't be wary of iron ruyi hit the coral tree. With a crisp sound, the royal treasure broke into several pieces ... Wang Kai saw that his trump card treasure was destroyed and immediately rushed to fight with Shi Chong. Shi Chong's response was a calm smile. He said, "Is it worth getting so angry? Can't I compensate you for your loss? " He turned around and ordered his private secretary to go home and take out the coral tree from home for Wang Kai to choose. There are dozens of coral trees held out by the secretary, about three or four feet high and two or three feet low. The coral trees displayed in Wang Kai are the worst. Shi Chong pointed to the coral tree and said to Wang Kai, "If you want compensation, you can choose." At this point, Wang Kai had to give up, put oil on his feet and leave, even the shattered coral tree.

Because Shi Chong is as rich as an enemy, people who come to his house for fun, have a windfall and pay attention to it naturally jostle with each other, and Jia Mi, the brother-in-law of the foolish emperor, is a frequent visitor. Shi Chong often held luxurious banquets at home for the rulers' dignitaries and literati. Every time a big banquet guest, Shi Chong will arrange a beautiful woman to persuade wine on the table, just like today's corrupt officials and fat people want a young lady to accompany them in the hotel. What we don't have is: if the guests don't like drinking, immediately order the family security to kill the beautiful woman who advised them to drink! Compassionate but drunk guests had to drink too much to keep the beauty alive, and even got drunk in court. Two brothers, Wang Dao (Prime Minister of Eastern Jin Dynasty) and Wang Dun (General of Eastern Jin Dynasty), went to dinner in Shichong. Wang Dao's drinking power is very shallow, because he was afraid that the beauty who advised the drinker would die, so he had to drink a few cups and got drunk on the spot. Wang Dun's wine is very bright, but this man is hard-hearted and mischievous. Even if the beauty persuades him with tears, he won't take a sip. The three beauties suddenly lost their handsome heads, while Wang Dun remained quiet and teetotalless. As a result, another beautiful woman was pulled out, and there was a scream a minute later. Wang Dao blamed his brother for being unsympathetic, and Wang Dun replied, "What does it matter to me that he killed his family?"
