You Ruo, also named You Tsuyu, was born in the kingdom of Lu, 12 years after Confucius. When Confucius died, Tsuyu was treated by some of Confucius students as the greatest sage because of the similarity in appearance. Lord Ai of Lu asked him ''What should be done if there is famine and not enough money in the government?'' You Ruo replied "Why don't you apply the method and impose ten percent taxation?" Lord Ai said, "Twenty percent taxation is hardly enough, how can I apply the method of ten percent?" You Ruo explained, "Cut the taxation and limit your expenses allowing the people raise their standard of living first. Then you will have no worries about shortage. If the people are not rich what can a ruler do to deal with a shortage?"
