Story:
In ancient times, there was a local official named Li Heng. His wife was domineering and lazy, leading their family's fortunes to decline. His sons were scholars and lacked practical skills to make a living.
Secretly, Li Heng bought land and built a house in Wuling, where he planted a thousand orange trees and hired people to manage them.
Only when he was on his deathbed did he tell his sons that he had left them these 'thousand orange tree slaves' to ensure their livelihood.
