《管子·山国轨》
大春，安排农事的时候就计算好：春天的夹衣、夏天的单衣、竿子、篮子、绳子、青箕、口袋、筐子、竹盒、捆绳等物品，使用多少天，使用的人有多少。凡无钱的农家都可以租借这些工具器物：口袋、筐子、竹盒、绳子和公衣等。完工后归还公家，并毁掉合同。
泰春功布日，春缣衣、夏单衣、捍、宠、累箕、胜、籯、屑、，若干日之功，用人若干，无赀之家皆假之械器，幐、籯、筲、、公衣，功已而归公衣，折券。
In the great spring, when agricultural matters are arranged, be sure to calculate how many days they will use spring jackets, summer shirts, poles, baskets, ropes, blue winnowing trays, sacks, crates, bamboo boxes, and binding ropes, and how many people will use them. All peasants without money can borrow these tools and implements such as sacks, crates, bamboo boxes, ropes, and public clothes. After the work is completed, they should be returned to the government and the contracts destroyed.
