景公問晏子曰：「富民安眾難乎？」對曰：「易。節欲則民富，中聽則民安，行此兩者而已矣。」（卷三十三 晏子）

Duke Jing of the state of Qi asked Yanzi: “The task to bring wealth to the people and stability to the state—Will this be difficult to achieve?” Yanzi said: “Not difficult at all. Frugality on the part of the ruler will bring prosperity to the people, and fair trials will bring stability to the state. Doing these two things well will suffice.” (Scroll 33: Yan Zi)
