《管子·小问》
您想要制服人民，就使官吏分条写好刑律，再确定揭发有罪者有赏，不断审查而严于诛杀。这样，人民就被制服了。
胜民为易。夫胜民之为道，非天下之大道也。君欲胜民，则使有司疏狱，而谒有罪者偿，数省而严诛，若此，则民胜矣。
If you want to control people, you have officials draw up statutes, establish rewards for informing on criminals, constantly investigate, and enforce punishments. This way, people are brought under control.
