《管子·明法解》
所以，上面发令而下面响应，君主行事而臣子听从；令则行，禁则止，求则得，这就是所谓容易治理。
故上令而下应，主行而臣从，以令则行，以禁则止，以求则得。此之谓易治。
Therefore, orders are issued from above and responded to from below; the monarch acts and the ministers obey; orders are carried out and prohibitions are observed; what is requested is obtained; this is what is called ease of administering.
