CHAPTER 74
THE COUNTRY
731. That is the great country which never faileth in its yield of harvests, and which is the abode of sages and of rich men that are worthy.
732. That is the great country which attracteth men to itself by the greatness of its wealth and which yieldeth abundantly for that it is free from pests.
733. Behold the great nation : even if burdens upon burdens press down upon it, it will support them bravely and pay its taxes in full withal.
734. That is the great country which is free from famines and plagues, and which is safe from the invasions of enemies.
735. That is the great nation which is not divided into warring sects, which is free from murderous anarchists, and which hath no traitors within its bosom to ruin it.
