烏氏倮牧，及眾，斥賣，求奇繒物，閒獻遺戎王。 Luo of the Wushi clan began as a herdsman. When his flocks grew large, he sold them off, invested in rare silks and exotic goods, and periodically presented gifts to the Rong king.

戎王什倍其償，與之畜，畜至用谷量馬牛。 The Rong king repaid him tenfold in livestock. His herds grew so vast that his horses and cattle were counted by the valley.
