| Order to Cultivate Waste...: |
If orders are issued for the service of all younger sons, without exception, the service to last their lifetime, and no high palaces to be built for them, and if orders are given to the grain-measuring officials to weigh out their grain allowance evenly, and if on the one hand they are not used for menial services, but on the other hand they do not necessarily obtain high office, then the younger sons will not be idlers, and (this being so) they will certainly turn to agriculture; and if that is the case, then it is certain waste lands will be brought under cultivation. |
