《元史·列传·卷四十》
奂临行时对楚材说： 在下不才，错蒙重用。书生理财本非所长，况河南兵荒马乱之后，遗民不多，今日宜休养生息，否则会引起民怨。
奂将行，言于楚材曰： 仆不敏，误蒙不次之用，以书生而理财赋，已非所长。
Before leaving, Huan said to Chucai: "I am incompetent and undeserving of this important task. Although I studied literature, I am not proficient in financial management. Moreover, after the war in Henan, the population was greatly reduced. Nowadays, we should focus on recuperating and developing the economy rather than putting pressure on the people, otherwise we will incur resentment."
