Stories of Chinese word and term (41-2)

司马炎was a good emperor. He cared about people very much at least during his first years in court. He distributed land among people and provided foods for the old and disable. And many times he did farm work personally. He freed plenty slaves to be peasant. And he summoned many minority to surrender. Under his rule, the population developed very fast. Later he unified all the three kingdoms.

Yet this emperor was also a sex mania he got around ten thousand wives. Although five thousand of them were captured from a former falling kingdom of . Just think about if one night for one wife 10,000/365=27 it would take him 27 years to do it. Yet he was on the throne only 25 years. How to choose a wife for a certain night could be a big question. He invented a method that was allow the sheep of his sheep-cart walking randomly. When the sheep stopped in front the house of a wife that would be the night he slept with.  Soon the wives knew this trick, some smart wives dripped the salt water on top of front grass. The sheep love salt grass and they would stop there to eat. The term is 羊车望幸, waiting sheep-cart for happy.
