《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪九》
我经过河南郡见河南郡的贫民遭受洪水干旱灾害磨难的有一万多家，有的甚至于到了父子相食的悲惨境地，我谨借出使的机会，用陛下的符节，命令发放河南官仓积粮以救济贫民。
臣过河南，河南贫人伤水旱万馀家，或父子相食，臣谨以便宜，持节发河南仓粟以振贫民。
I passed through He’nan Commandery and saw that over ten thousand households of poor people there had suffered devastation from floods and droughts, to the point where some resorted to the tragic act of cannibalism, so I borrowed the opportunity of being on an imperial mission, and using Your Majesty’s tally, commanded that the granary of He’nan Commandery issue grain to relieve the poor people.
