Qin Mugong said to Baili: Give it to them? Baili replied: Natural disasters and epidemics will always occur alternately in various countries.

These four morals are discarded, with what to defend the country? He said: The skin no longer exists, and where is the hair attached? Qing Zheng said: If you abandon your credit and turn your back on your neighbors, who will help you in times of need? Without credit, tribulation will occur, and if there is no salvation, you will perish. That's what it is. He said: Even if you give food, the resentment will not be reduced, but it will increase the strength of the enemy, so it is better not to give it.
