《孔子家语·辩政》
齐国君主治理国家，建造很多楼台水榭，修筑很多园林宫殿，声色享乐，无时无刻，有时一天就赏赐三个家族各一千辆战车，所以说为政在于节财。
齐君为国，奢乎台榭，淫于苑囿，五官伎乐不解于时，一旦而赐人以千乘之家者三，故曰：政在节财。
The lord of Qi governing the country, built many mansions and ponds, constructed many parks and palaces, indulged in sensual pleasures day and night, sometimes rewarding a family with a thousand chariots in a day, hence it is said that governing lies in economizing financial resources.
