《算地 - Calculation of Land》 | English translation: J. J. L. Duyvendak [?] | Library Resources |
3 | 算地: | 今世主有地方數千里,食不足以待役實倉,而兵為鄰敵臣,故為世主患之。夫地大而不墾者,與無地者同;民眾而不用者,與無民者同。 |
Calculation of Land: | But nowadays, although the rulers of the world have territory of several thousand square li, the produce is not sufficient to support the soldiers and to fill the granaries, and the army is equalled by the neighbours. I regret this state of affairs, therefore, on behalf of the ruler. Indeed, having a large territory and not cultivating it is like having no territory; having a numerous population, but not employing it, is like having no population. |
