《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪五》
 现在如果驱使民众归返农事，都依附于土地，让天下人都从事生产满足本人生活需要，让工商业者、游民都改为从事农耕，那么，国家就会有充裕的积贮，百姓就会安居乐业了。
今驱民而归之农，皆著于本。使天下各食其力，末技、游食之民转而缘南畮则畜积足而人乐其所矣。
Now, if the common people are urged to return to farming, and are attached to the land, so that everyone under heaven works the land to fulfill their needs, and if industrialists, businessmen and vagrants are all converted to farming, then the country will have abundant reserves and the people will live and work happily.
