汤得伊尹，以百里之地立为天子；桓公得管仲，立为五霸主，九合诸候，一匡天下；孝公得商君，地以广，兵以强。
Shang Tang obtained Yi Yin, and with a territory of only a hundred li became the Son of Heaven; Qi Huangong obtained Guan Zhong, became the leader of the Five Hegemons, combined the nine feudal princes, and rectified the world; Qin Xiaogong obtained Shang Yang, and so expanded his territory and strengthened his army.
