Yu Juo (also known as Yu-Tsu-yu) was born in the kingdom of Lu, 43years after Confucius. When Confucius died, Tsu-yu was treated by some of Confucius' students as the greatest sage because of the similarity in appearance. Lord Ai of Lu once asked him "What should be done if there is famine and not enough money in the government?" Yu Juo replied "Why don't you impose ten percent taxation?" Lord Ai said, "Twenty percent taxation is hardly enough, how can I change it to ten percent?" Yu Juo explained, "Cutting taxes and limiting your expenses allow people to raise their standard of living. Afterwards, you will no longer need to worry about famine and shortage. ¡·The picture on this page are from: http://www.confucius-bj.org.cn/gujin/072/8.jpg |
