《国语·越语·勾践灭吴》
不是他亲自种出的粮食就不吃；不是他夫人亲自织成的布就不穿。整整十年在国内不收赋税，百姓家里备有三年的存粮。
非其身之所种则不食，非其夫人之所织则不衣，十年不收于国，民俱有三年之食。
He never ate any grain that he had not personally farmed, and he never wore any clothes that his wife had not personally woven. No taxes were collected for ten years, and the people had three years' worth of surplus food stored in their homes.
