《资治通鉴·魏纪·魏纪五》
而今天下创造财富的很少，而麋鹿造成的损失很多，如果突然爆发战争动员兵役，或者荒年降临颗粒不收，将没有办法应付。
方今天下生生者甚少，而麋鹿之损者甚多，卒有兵戎之役，凶年之灾，将无以待之。
Whereas at the present time there are few people in the world creating wealth, but the deer are causing a great deal of loss. If suddenly war breaks out and we have to mobilize soldiers or if a poor year comes and there is no grain harvest, we will not be able to cope.
