今若弘其爵賞，開其勸慕，課業宦流，班習冑子，拔其精究，使處內局，簡其才良，以居外仕，方岳咸選其能，邑長竝擢其術，則皐繇之謨，指掌可致，杜鄭之業，鬱焉何遠。 Now if we enlarge their ranks and rewards, open paths of encouragement, set examinations for officials in service, extend instruction to imperial scions, select those of penetrating mastery to place in inner bureaus, choose the talented and good to hold outer posts, have regional governors all select for ability and district chiefs together promote for skill—then Gao Yao's counsels could be attained at a gesture, and the achievements of Du and Zheng, how distant could they be?
