湯問伊尹曰：「諸侯來獻，或無馬牛之所生，而獻遠方之物，事實相反，不利。今吾欲因其地勢所有獻之，必易得而不貴，其為四方獻令。」伊尹受命，於是為四方令曰：「臣請正東符婁、仇州、伊慮、漚深、九夷、十蠻、越漚、鬋髮文身，請令以魚皮之鞞、𩶭鰂之醬、鮫瞂、利劍為獻。正南甌鄧、桂國、損子、產里、百濮、九菌，請令以珠璣、玳瑁、象齒、文犀、翠羽、菌鶴、短狗為獻。正西昆侖、狗國、鬼親、枳已、闟耳、貫胸、雕題、離丘、漆齒，請令以丹青、白旄、紕罽、江歷、龍角、神龜為獻。正北空同、大夏、莎車、姑他、旦略、豹胡、代翟、匈奴、樓煩、月氏、孅犁、其龍、東胡，請令以橐駝、白玉、野馬、騊駼、駃騠、良弓為獻。」湯曰：「善。」 |
| | Tang asked Yi Yin, "When feudal lords come to present tribute, some do not have the means to raise horses or cattle but instead offer things from distant lands. This is contrary to reality and brings no benefit." "Now I wish for them to present what they have according to their local resources. This would make it easy and inexpensive to obtain, and thus establish a tribute system for the four directions." Yi Yin accepted the command and thus issued an order for all directions, saying: "Ministers, please know that in the far east are Fulu, Chouzhou, Yilv, Oushen, Jiuyi, Shiman, Yueou, Jianfa Wenshen. Please require them to present as tribute fish-skin armor, sauce made from Xue and Li fish, jiao fan (a kind of fabric), and sharp swords." In the far south were Oudeng, Guiguo, Sunzi, Chanli, Bai Pu, Jiujun. Please require them to present pearls and beads, tortoiseshell, elephant tusks, patterned rhinoceros horns, emerald feathers, junhe (a type of bird), and short-haired dogs as tribute. In the far west were Kunlun, Gouguo, Guiqin, Ziyi, Xie'er, Guanxiang, Diaoti, Liqiu, Qichishu. Please require them to present cinnabar and blue pigments, white banners with tassels, fine furs, Jiangli (a type of fabric), dragon horns, and divine turtles as tribute. In the far north were Kongtong, Daxia, Shache, Guta, Danlue, Baohu, Dai Zhai, Xiongnu, Loufan, Yuezhi, Qianli, Qilong, and Donghu. Please require them to present camels, white jade, wild horses, Tuotu (a type of horse), Jutu (another kind of horse), and fine bows as tribute." Tang said, "Good."
