《元史·列传·卷五十九》
孟頫则认为太重，因为钞法创立后的几十年内，已大幅度贬值，以贬值之钞来决定人之生死，不足采取。
汝以为非，岂欲沮格至元钞耶？ 
Mengfu believes that it is too heavy, because the value of the banknotes has greatly depreciated in the decades since the currency was introduced, and it is not enough to decide whether people live or die based on the depreciated banknotes.
