The proper economic policy was to teach people to venerate the throne (so that they would respect property), the paternal hearth (so that they would not marry imprudently young), and the religious altar (so that they would fear pre-marital sex). Then, perhaps, with women chaste for half or more of their childbearing years, the surplus population would diminish and conditions for the poor would be as good as they could be.
合理的经济政策是让人们尊王（从而尊重产权）、尊父（从而不会轻率早婚）、尊宗教（从而畏惧婚前性行为）。接着，只要女人在一半或以上的育龄时期严守贞洁，新增人口就会减少，穷人所处的环境就能尽可能地改善。
