岁适美，则市粜无予，而狗彘食人食。岁适凶，则市籴釜十繦，而道有饿民。然则岂壤力固不足而食固不赡也哉？夫往岁之粜贱，狗彘食人食，故来岁之民不足也。物适贱，则半力而无予，民事不偿其本；物适贵，则什倍而不可得，民失其用。然则岂财物固寡而本委不足也哉？夫民利之时失，而物利之不平也。故善者委施于民之所不足，操事于民之所有余。夫民有余则轻之，故人君敛之以轻；民不足则重之，故人君散之以重。敛积之以轻，散行之以重，故君必有十倍之利，而财之櫎可得而平也。
年景遇上丰收，农民粮食卖不出去，连猪狗都吃人食。年景遇上灾荒，买粮一釜要花十贯钱，而且道有饿民。这难道是因为地力不足而粮食不够吃所造成的么？这是因为往年粮价太低，猪狗都吃人食，所以下一年的民食就不足了。商品遇上落价，就按照工价的一半也卖不出去，人民生产不够本钱。商品遇上涨价，就是出十倍高价也买不到手，人民需要不得满足。这难道是由于东西本来太少，生产和贮存不够所造成的么？这是因为错过了调节人民财利的时机，财物价格就波动起来。所以善治国者总是在民间物资不足时，把库存的东西供应出去；而在民间物资有余时，把市场的商品收购起来。民间物资有余就肯于低价卖出，故君主应该以低价收购；民间物资不足就肯于高价买进，故君主应该以高价售出。用低价收购，用高价抛售，君主不但有十倍的盈利，而且物资财货的价格也可以得到调节后的稳定。
凡轻重之大利，以重射轻，以贱泄平。万物之满虚随财，准平而不变，衡绝则重见。人君知其然，故守之以准平。
轻重之术的巨大利益，就在于先用较高价格购取廉价的商品，然后再用较低价格销出这些平价的物资。各种物资的余缺随季节而有不同，注意调节则维持正常不变，失掉平衡那就价格腾贵了。人君懂得这个道理，所以总是用平准措施来进行掌握。
这两段话讲了设立国家平准制度的必要性：
1.大家都经历过春运，明明每年到最后大家都回家了，为何票价那么难买？其实票的缺口只有10%，但是每个买票的都预期买不到票，于是大家都占用资源去抢票，造成每一个人都很难买到票。
以我个人的倒买倒卖为例：
我进游戏时，Q1装备只有0.05金，但是我做任务时试着买了装备，发现总是到最后几分钟被别人抢掉，瞬间我就想到我们的春运了。于是我在晚上11点挂单，利用时差欧洲人活动时间买了一批Q1装备。连续三天时候统一用0.08金全包Q1装备，订金花了10金左右。接下来发生了什么？我并没有收到任何订好的Q1装备，因为它们总在最后几分钟被其他人抢掉了，我于是用退回来的订金继续全包Q1装备。如此反复几次，市场上终于得出了Q1装备即将上涨的认知，于是便更加疯狂的跟进，我的工作变轻松了。最终我趁着高价把之前进的Q1装备清货赚取了我的第一桶金。
因此国家设立平准制度，对货物的价格进行适当控制，低价的时候买入，高价的时候放出，不仅保护了普通玩家不被大资本家剥削，还有力的充实了国库，增加了国库收入。
我个人建议把国家税收统一建立国家主权投资基金，
按照入股的形式帮助本国国民建设工厂，升级工厂，
工厂在建设和升级中产生的Q1-Q4非顶级难卖的产品，国家也可成本价收购，
等到工厂升级到Q5顶级的时候，再回收资金和利息到国家主权投资基金，
完成一个完整的循环。
同时利用国家主权投资基金对面包，武器实行平准，
制定一个成本价和一个微利价，
当战略物资价格低的时候，用成本价收入，
当战略物资高的时候，用微利价售出。
这样完成另外一个循环。
军队战争的时候，
国家把战略物资分发给军队，
从人民收取税金以战略物资发回去，
完成第三个循环。

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
