He bought grain seeds and farm tools on credit from the people in nearby villages, and started his own business. After the autumn harvest, in addition to doubling the return of borrowed seeds and rations, the rest of the grain was sent back to the parents' homes.

Emperor Shun is good at using etiquette and music to educate the princes and the people, set up schools, teach people's children to read, know honesty and shame, understand filial piety, and be polite. Shun also invented the five-stringed piano and used music to influence sentient beings.
Since Shun came to power, he has visited all parts of the country every five years. Wherever he went, he promoted his ideas, and wherever he went, both the princes and the common people were touched by his noble character and benevolence, and the social atmosphere was changing day by day.
When Di Yao was alive, Shun began to govern on behalf of Yao. More than 20 years later, it was not until Yao was 90 years old that he officially ceded the position of the Son of Heaven to Shun. After Emperor Shun took the throne, he continued to rule for 17 years, which totaled more than 40 years.
Dayu successfully controlled the water, after returning to the dynasty, he has been serving as the position of the great situ, the prime minister of the government, and the general consul of hundreds of officials. Judge Gaotao, Dasi Nong Houji, as well as Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang and other concentric assistance. Dayu has done many big and good things for the people for the country. In addition to dividing Kyushu, setting tribute, and not serving five things, the eight hundred princes in the world were divided into regions and organized into tribal alliances, with every five princes as a team, every ten as a tithe, and every hundred as a bo, and a marquis.
In terms of tribute, more tribute was levied from the princes of the wealthy places to provide relief to the affected areas. And encourage the people to open up more wasteland, a variety of fields, reward cultivation and weaving, and teach the people to learn advanced farming techniques. Distribute seeds to the people who lack them. As a result, the treasury is full, the people are rich, all the people are happy, and the society develops and progresses.
Dayu has been loved and supported by the majority of the people and the princes of the world, all regard Dayu as a god, with Dayu's height as the standard scale, called a zhang, and the voice of Dayu as the benchmark of the five tones, that is, "palace, business, horn, sign, feather". If there is a difficulty, I will ask Dayu for help, if there is a dispute, I will find Dayu to adjust, and if I have good things, I will not forget to contribute a copy to Dayu.
Di Shun saw that Dayu's merits were getting bigger and bigger, and his prestige was getting higher and higher, and he felt that the time was ripe to give up the position of the Son of Heaven to Dayu. So he summoned all the ministers to the court and announced: "I want to seal Mount Tai, and then tour the south of Cangwu." I have recommended Dayu to heaven as my heir, and now appoint Dayu as the prince, during my foreign tour to act on behalf of the Son of Heaven, in charge of the country's affairs. You and other ministers must do their best to assist Dayu, do a good job in the affairs of the country, do a good job in the affairs of the court, and don't live up to my high expectations. ”
Gaotao, Houji, Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang and other ministers agreed in unison and said: "Please rest assured that the Son of Heaven and other ministers will wholeheartedly support Dayu." Do a good job in the affairs of the country and the court. ”
Only Dayu hurriedly went out of work, saluted upward, and said: "Dayu is unbearable for such a heavy responsibility, and asks the Son of Heaven to take back his destiny and pass on the great responsibility of the world to the emperor's son Yijun." ”
Di Shun said: "Yijun is only worthy of being a prince, and he is still incapacitated. How can the position of the Son of Heaven be passed on to him? If that happens, it will not only harm the people of the world, but also harm Yijun himself. Besides, I have already sealed Yijun in the land of Xu as a prince, and he is already satisfied there, and he will never attack you. ”
Dayu said: "The ministers of the court, Houji and Gaotao are more senior than Dayu, and they are talented, they can be used, please think twice." ”
Di Shun said: "Dayu doesn't have to shirk anymore, I have made up my mind, I do this not only considering qualifications, but also considering age and talent." It is responsible for the country and for the sake of the people of the world. It is in line with the will of heaven and the will of the people.
In the future, as long as you follow the ethics and be sure, you will be able to be strategic. It is wise to be cautious in cultivating oneself, to have a long-term plan, and to be able to understand people. If you can use people properly, you can appease the people, that is, benevolence, the people will love you, and people of insight will assist you. In this way, your ideas and decrees can be spread from near and far.
You must devote all your efforts and do your duty to handle the affairs of the state, the court, and the people. ”
Emperor Shun said, Dayu agreed, Emperor Shun finished instructing, Dayu said: "Dayu thanks the Son of Heaven for his trust, and knows that the responsibility is heavy." Thinking of the future national events, it is really like being on the edge of the abyss, like walking on the ice, trembling, and hoping that the Son of Heaven will return as soon as possible, and the country and the people need you. Di Shun said: "You just need to do a good job of the affairs of the court and the affairs of the country, and don't ask me when I will come back." ”
Dayu asked again: "I don't know how many people the Son of Heaven will bring on his patrol?"
Di Shun said: "I don't need to bring people and horses, the car is simple, and it is enough to bring a few daily entourage." and will not cause trouble or burden to the people and princes along the way.
After sealing Mount Tai, then patrol the south by the way, all the way to the wilderness. The return date is uncertain, maybe a year and a half, maybe three years and five years, you just need to do a good job of the country, the affairs of the court, you don't have to look forward to my return. Dayu and the others had no choice but to say yes.
After Di Shun finished speaking, he walked down the court, and his entourage had already prepared the frame and waited outside the court. Di Shun boarded the car, drove with a whip, and headed for Mount Tai. Dayu led the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to the front of the court together, bowed to the emperor's car and drove away, until he was out of sight, and then returned to the court to do business.
Di Shun drove to the shore of Fenshui, got off and boarded the boat, followed Fenshui, came to Fenglingdu, entered the Yellow River, and then went downstream, crossed Huashan, then crossed Sanmenxia, and went to the pillar stone. Pass through Mengjin and enter the water. Came to the foot of Lishan Mountain, got off the boat and boarded the car to come to Dongyue Taishan.
Dongyue Mount Tai is the first mountain in China, the head of the five mountains, in the early years the Yellow Emperor had climbed Mount Tai to seal the Zen, Emperor Yao also came to Mount Tai, when Yu ruled the water, and the little brothers also boarded.
Emperor Shun gave the country Zen to Dayu, today is to pay tribute to the heavens on Mount Tai, and make a break to his forty-year ruling career.
Climbed to the top of Mount Tai, the entourage set up the altar, Emperor Shun bathed and changed clothes, clean hands and burned incense. The sacrificial proclamation said: "Yu Shun was originally a village husband, Meng Diyao was sent in the acre, entrusted with important tasks, and ceded the position of the Son of Heaven to Shun. He was also assisted by many virtuous ministers and ruled by his hands. The world is clear, all the people are happy, China is one, and it is the king.
