tylikAnother snippet from Mengzi...
"King, if you bestow humane government to your people, you will reduce corporal punishment and other punishments, reduce taxes and levies, deepen the plow, ease the hoe. The robust will use these leisure days to cultivate their filial and adelphic piety, loyalty and truthfulness. Entering [the household], they will by these means serve their parents and elder brothers, leaving they will by these means serve their seniors and superiors. They can be made to make sticks which can be used to beat the Qin and Qu's strong armor and sharp weapons."
