玄祖生撒剌的，仁民愛物，始置鐵冶，教民鼓鑄，是為德祖，即太祖之父也。 Xuanzu had Saladi, humane toward the people and tender toward things; he founded ironworks and taught folk to smelt and cast—this was Emperor Dezu, father of Taizu.

德祖之弟述瀾，北征於厥、室韋，南略易、定、奚、，始興板築，置城邑，教民種桑麻，習織組，己有廣土眾民之志。 Dezu's brother Shuluo marched north against the Jue and Shiwei and south against Yi, Ding, and Xi; he introduced rammed-earth building, founded towns, taught mulberry and hemp planting and weaving—the ambition for broad lands and a populous realm was already plain.

鼓鑄之法，先代撒剌的為夷離堇，以土產多銅，始造錢幣。 Coinage began in an earlier generation when Saladi served as yilijin: local copper was abundant, and he was the first to cast money.
