桓寬《鹽鐵論》· 卷4·地廣第十六 · Investing · Leadership · Philosophy · Health

文學曰:「古者,天子之立於天下之中,縣內方不過千里,諸侯列國,不及不食之地,禹貢至於五千里;民各供其君,諸侯各保其國,是以百姓均調,而繇役不勞也。今推胡、越數千里,道路回避,士卒勞罷。故邊民有刎頸之禍,而中國有死亡之患,此百姓所以囂囂而不默也。夫治國之道,由中及外,自近者始。近者親附,然後來遠;百姓內足,然後恤外。故群臣論或欲田輪臺,明主不許,以為先救近務及時本業也。故下詔曰:『當今之務,在於禁苛暴,止擅賦,力本農。』公卿宜承意,請減除不任,以佐百姓之急。今中國弊落不憂,務在邊境。意者地廣而不耕,多種而不耨,費力而無功,詩云:『無田甫田,維莠驕驕。』其斯之謂歟。」
