《国语·周语·芮良夫论荣夷公专利》
普通人独占财利，尚且被称为盗贼，作为天子这样做的话，归附王室的人就会越来越少。荣夷公若被重用，周朝一定会衰败灭亡。 
今王学专利，其可乎？匹夫专利，犹谓之盗，王而行之，其归鲜矣。荣公若用，周必败。 
Common folks who hoard wealth are labeled as bandits, so if the emperor does that, people will turn away from him. If Rong Yigong is given great power, the Zhou Dynasty will surely decline and fall.
