以正治國,以奇用兵,以無事取天下。 吾何以知其然哉?以此:天下多忌諱,而民彌貧;民多利器,國家滋昏;人多伎巧,奇物滋起;法令滋彰,盜賊多有。 故聖人云:我無為,而民自化;我好靜,而民自正;我無事,而民自富;我無欲,而民自樸。 Rule a nation with justice. Wage war with surprise moves. Become master of the universe without striving. How do I know that this is so? Because of this! The more laws and restrictions there are, The poorer people become.

Here he draws a blueprint of his ideal country. This “country” is very small; neighboring countries look at each other, the sound of chickens and dogs hear each other; there is no deception and cunning evil, the people are honest.
