《晋书·列传·第十七章》
我认为赶快制定制度，统一规划天下若干人为士人，使他们足以充当各种官吏；若干人是农民，使他们劳动三年足有一年的储备粮；若干人当工人，使得各种器具充足；若干人经商，足以使货物流通而已。
臣以为亟定其制，通计天下若干人为士，足以副在官之吏；若干人为农，三年足有一年之储；若干人为工，足其器用；若干人为商贾，足以通货而已。
I believe that a system should be established as soon as possible, unifying and planning so that a certain number of people throughout the empire will be scholars, so many as are sufficient to fill the various official positions; a certain number will be farmers, so many that they can labor three years and have stores for one year; a certain number will be artisans, so many as to make all utensils sufficient; a certain number will be merchants, so many as to make goods circulate and no more.
