Zhao Gui is from Luoyang, Henan. His father, Zhao Su, was a courtier of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. When Zhao Gui was a teenager, he was studious and well-behaved. Cai Wang of the Northern Zhou Dynasty recommended him as a bookkeeper. He is famous for his diligence. Later he was promoted to Weizhou Zhizhong. Emperor Gaozu accepted the abdication, and Zhao Gui was transferred to Jizhou, with a very talented reputation. His neighbor's house in the east has mulberry trees, and mulberries have fallen in his house. Zhao Gui sent someone to pick them up and return them to their owners. He warned his sons: "I didn't seek fame by this behavior. I think it may be something I worked hard for. I don't want to invade others." You should take this as a warning. " He stayed in qi zhou for four years, and his performance has always been the best. Etiquette emissary He Yang Gong Liang Zi played in the imperial court. Sui Gaozu praised Zhao Gui, gave him 300 silks and satins and 300 meters of rice, and called him into the court as an official. The folks who sent him away wiped their tears and said, "Don't open the official position. Small things like fire and water don't offend the people and dare not send a pot of wine away. You are as clean as water, and we will pour a glass of water to bid farewell. " Zhao Gui took it and drank the water. After he arrived in Beijing, the emperor ordered him to draft and formulate laws, orders and rules with Zhang Qiniu Hong. At that time, Wang Wei Yang Shuang was the manager of Yuanzhou, and the emperor thought Yang Shuang was young. Because Zhao Gui has a reputation as an official, he appointed Zhao Gui as the manager of the former state Sima. On a night trip on the road, Zhao Gui's horse ran into the field and trampled the crops. Zhao Guile stopped the horse and waited until dawn to find that the owner of the crops had paid for it before leaving. When people and officials in Yuanzhou heard this, no one did not change their behavior. A few years later, Zhao Gui was promoted to the secretariat of Zhou Xia. He appeased the people of all ethnic groups and treated them well. Soon, he was appointed as the manager of Shouzhou. There used to be five cofferdams in Shaobei, all abandoned and not repaired. Zhao Gui encouraged and urged people and officials to open 36 cofferdams and irrigate more than 5,000 hectares of land. People depend on their welfare.
