賴及萬方
lài jí wàn fāng
"Benefits reached all regions"
Another pretty obvious one here: the rulers of old have quite a reach. 萬 means "ten thousand" and is often used to signify a large number of things, hence "all" here.
My copy of the 千字文 says that 賴 is used as an equivalent to 利, which can mean "advantage" or "profit," but Kroll's dictionary has a similar meaning attached to 賴 and doesn't mark it as a substitute character.
The next line gets a little more interesting and ties into what follows it, and both will require more effort than this entry, so I'll write those up soon and post them.
