《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪四十六》
而且，先前秋季多雨，农民才开始种麦，而今失去鼓励他们耕种的时机，而命令他们供应驱赶禽兽、修筑道路的劳役，这不是圣贤体恤人民的本意。 
又前秋多雨，民始种麦，今失其劝种之时，而令给驱禽除路之役，非贤圣恤民之意也。 
In addition, the rainfall in the autumn was too much, so the farmers have only just begun to sow the wheat. Now they have lost the opportunity to encourage farmers to work, and they have ordered them to provide labor to drive away the wild animals and to build the roads. This is not what the sages meant when they said showed compassion for the people.
