《墨子·12章 尚同(中)》
这说的就是古时天帝鬼神建设国都，设置官长，并不是为了提高他们的爵位，增加他们的俸禄，使他过富贵淫佚的生活，而是让他给万民兴利除害，使贫者富，使民少者众，使危者安，使乱者治。
则此语古者上帝鬼神之建设国都立正长也，非高其爵，厚其禄，富贵佚而错之也。将以为万民兴利除害，富贵贫寡，安危治乱也。
This is talking about how in ancient times the emperor of heaven and the deities of ghosts and spirits built capital cities and established leaders, not to raise their status, increase their salaries, and let them live extravagant and licentious lives, but to allow them to bring benefits and eliminate harm for the people, making the poor rich, increasing the population, pacifying the dangerous and governing the chaotic.
