Justice Brings Wealth, and Wealth Enriches People.
执政者按照道义和规则生财获利，而后用所取得的财利使百姓生活丰足富裕。“义”本指礼义，也可理解为道义、法度、规则；“生利”即创造财富，获取利益；“丰民”，使百姓丰足富裕。对于执政者而言，“利”的规定性，不仅在于符合道义、规则，还在于百姓能享其利，民生得到改善。它是“以义为利”“藏富于民”思想的结合。
A ruler must generate wealth in accordance with justice and rules, and then use such wealth to help people prosper. Yi (义), originally refers to righteousness and can also be understood as appropriateness and rules. Shengli (生利) means to generate wealth and make profits. Fengmin (丰民) suggests enriching the people. This is to say that the ruler must ensure that what he does conforms to justice and rules, benefits the people, and improves their livelihood. It is a combination of the concepts of “justice bringing wealth” and “keeping people wealthy.”
