凡人主莫不欲其民之用也。使民用者，必法立而令行也。故治國使衆莫如法，禁淫止暴莫如刑。故貧者非不欲奪富者財也，然而不敢者，法不使也。强者非不能暴弱也，然而不敢者，畏法誅也。故百官之事，案之以法，則姦不生。暴慢之人，誅之以刑，則禍不起。羣臣並進，筴之以數，則私無所立。故《明法》曰：「動無非法者，所以禁過而外私也。」

軍功多用超等，大者封侯卿大夫，小者郎。吏道雜而多端，則官職秏廢。 自孫弘以春秋之義繩臣下取漢相，張湯以峻文決理為廷尉，於是見知之法生，而廢格沮誹窮治之獄用矣。其明年，淮南、衡山、江都王謀反跡見，而公卿尋端治之，竟其黨與，坐而死者數萬人，吏益慘急而法令察。當是時，招尊方正賢良文學之士，或至公卿大夫。公孫弘以宰相，布被，食不重味，為下先，然而無益於俗，稍務於功利矣。 其明年，票騎仍再出擊胡，大克獲。渾邪王率數萬眾來降，於是漢發車三萬兩迎之。既至，受賞，賜及有功之士。是歲費凡百餘鉅萬。 先是十餘歲，河決，灌梁、楚地，固已數困，而緣河之郡隄塞河，輒壞決，費不可勝計。

卷199·太宗文武大聖大廣孝皇帝下之下永徽三年（壬子，公元六五二年）·第12则

This is a direct reading: the original and source are kept; commentary will be added later.

This enterprise, conducted by men of application and ability working hard together, soon built up unusual facilities in manufacture, in transportation, in finance, and in extending markets. We had our troubles and set-backs; we suffered from some severe fires; and the supply of crude oil was most uncertain. Our plans were constantly changed by changed conditions. We developed great facilities in an oil centre, erected storage tanks, and connected pipe-lines; then the oil failed and our work was thrown away. At best it was a speculative trade, and I wonder that we managed to pull through so often; but we were gradually learning how to conduct a most difficult business.
