足國之道節用裕民
The Way to a Sufficient State: Economize and Enrich the People
足國之道：節用裕民，而善臧其餘。節用以禮，裕民以政。彼裕民，故多餘。裕民則民富，民富則田肥以易，田肥以易則出實百倍。
The way to make the state sufficient: economize on expenditure and enrich the people, and carefully store the surplus. Economize through ritual propriety; enrich the people through good governance. When you enrich the people, there is much surplus. When the people are enriched, they become wealthy; when wealthy, the fields are fertile and well-tended; when fields are fertile and well-tended, the harvest yields a hundredfold.
