國蓄
State Reserves
國有十年之蓄，而民不足於食，皆以其技能望君之祿也。
Though the state may have ten years' reserves and the people still lack food, it is because they all look to the ruler's salary through their specialized skills.

The Guoxu chapter develops the 'light-heavy' (輕重) theory of price management, arguing that the ruler must actively manage grain prices through state purchasing and releasing to prevent merchant exploitation and stabilize the economy.
