Document: Merchants boast that their wisdom and ability are such as to give them a free hand in affairs. They believe that they know all the possible transformations in the universe and therefore can calculate all the changes in the human world, and that the rise and fall of prices are under their command.

To use what one has to exchange for what one does not have is what trade is all about...Foreigners are recalcitrant and their greed knows no bounds. I do not think trade with them will ensure us a century of peace. Peace comes to those who toil diligently on the land. It comes to those who protect the people from the overflowing waters of the Huang He (river). Merchants do not promote the livelihood of others, only themselves, this I know from my experience traveling abroad as an official.
