大夫曰：「王者塞天財，禁關市，執準守時，以輕重御民。豐年歲登，則儲積以備乏絕；凶年惡歲，則行幣物；流有餘而調不足也。昔禹水湯旱，百姓匱乏，或相假以接衣食。禹以歷山之金，湯以莊山之銅，鑄幣以贖其民，而天下稱仁。往者財用不足，戰士或不得祿，而山東被災，齊、趙大饑，賴均輸之畜，倉廩之積，戰士以奉，饑民以賑。故均輸之物，府庫之財，非所以賈萬民而專奉兵師之用，亦所以賑困乏而備水旱之災也。」

問：「『析之有以極其精而不亂，然後合之有以盡其大而無餘』，此言如何？」 先生曰：「恐亦未盡。此理豈容分析？又何須湊合得？聖人說『精一』，自是盡。」

賢良曰：「匈奴處沙漠之中，生不食之地，天所賤而棄之，無壇宇之居，男女之別，以廣野為閭里，以穹廬為家室，衣皮蒙毛，食肉飲血，會市行，牧豎居，如中國之麋鹿耳。好事之臣，求其義，責之禮，使中國干戈至今未息，萬里設備，此兔罝之所刺，故小人非公侯腹心幹城也。」

李世勣嘗得暴疾，方云「須灰可療」；上自剪須，為之和藥。世勣頓首出血泣謝。上曰：「為社稷，非為卿也，何謝之有！」世勣嘗侍宴，上從容謂曰：「朕求群臣可托幼孤者，無以逾公，公往不負李密，豈負朕哉！」世勣流涕辭謝，嚙指出血，因飲沉醉；上解御服以覆之。

卷197·太宗文武大聖大廣孝皇帝中之下貞觀十七年（癸卯，公元六四三年）·第11则

Here are some of the suggestions: A proposal that castings be taken from the foundry to the machine shop on an overhead conveyor saved seventy men in the transport division. There used to be seventeen men--and this was when production was smaller--taking the burrs off gears, and it was a hard, nasty job. A man roughly sketched a special machine. His idea was worked out and the machine built. Now four men have several times the output of the seventeen men--and have no hard work at all to do. Changing from a solid to a welded rod in one part of the chassis effected an immediate saving of about one half million a year on a smaller than the present-day production. Making certain tubes out of flat sheets instead of drawing them in the usual way effected another enormous saving.
