初，巂州都督劉伯英上言：「松外諸蠻暫降復叛，請出師討之，以通西洱、天竺之道。」敕建方發巴蜀十二州兵討之。蠻酋雙捨帥眾拒戰，建方擊敗之，殺獲千餘人。群蠻震懾，亡竄山谷。建方分遣使者諭以利害，皆來歸附，前後至者七十部，戶十萬九千三百，建方署其酋長蒙和等為縣令，各統所部，莫不感悅。因遣使詣西洱河，其帥楊盛大駭，具船將遁，使者曉諭以威信，盛遂請降。其地有楊、李、趙、董等數十姓，各據一州，大者六百，小者二、三百戶，無大君長，不相統壹，語雖小訛，其生業、風俗，大略與中國同，自雲本皆華人，其所異者以十二月為歲首。

管子曰：「陰王之國有三，而齊與在焉。」桓公曰：「此若言可得聞乎？」管子對曰：「楚有汝、漢之黃金，而齊有渠展之鹽，燕有遼東之煑，此陰王之國也。且楚之有黃金，中齊有薔石也。苟有操之不工，用之不善，天下倪而是耳。使夷吾得居楚之黃金，吾能令農毋耕而食，女毋織而衣。今齊有渠展之鹽，請君伐菹薪，煮沸火爲鹽，正而積之。」桓公曰：「諾。」十月始正，至於正月，成鹽三萬六千鍾。召管子而問曰：「安用此鹽而可？」管子對曰：「孟春既至，農事且起。大夫無得繕冢墓，理宮室，立臺榭，築牆垣。北海之衆無得聚庸而煑鹽。若此，則鹽必坐長而十倍。」桓公曰：「善。行事奈何？」管子對曰：「請以令糶之梁、趙、宋、衛、濮陽。彼盡饋食之也，國無鹽則腫。守圉之國，用鹽獨甚。」桓公曰：「諾。」乃以令使糶之，得成金萬壹千餘斤。桓公召管子而問曰：「安用金而可？」管子對曰：「請以令使賀獻、出正籍者必以金，金坐長而百倍。運金之重，以衡萬物，盡歸於君。故此所謂用若挹於河海，若輸之給馬。此陰王之業。」

第80篇輕重甲·第11则

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

The great majority of my associations were made so many years ago, that I have reached the age when hardly a month goes by (sometimes I think hardly a week) that I am not called upon to send some message of consolation to a family with whom we have been connected, and who have met with some fresh bereavement. Only recently I counted up the names of the early associates who have passed away. Before I had finished, I found the list numbered some sixty or more. They were faithful and earnest friends; we had worked together through many difficulties, and had gone through many severe trials together. We had discussed and argued and hammered away at questions until we came to agree, and it has always been a happiness to me to feel that we had been frank and aboveboard with each other. Without this, business associates cannot get the best out of their work.

Chapter I, excerpt 7

We had been through an experimenting period of five years. The cars were beginning to be sold in Europe. The business, as an automobile business then went, was considered extraordinarily prosperous. We had plenty of money. Since the first year we have practically always had plenty of money. We sold for cash, we did not borrow money, and we sold directly to the purchaser. We had no bad debts and we kept within ourselves on every move. I have always kept well within my resources. I have never found it necessary to strain them, because, inevitably, if you give attention to work and service, the resources will increase more rapidly than you can devise ways and means of disposing of them.
