《元史·列传·卷八十一》
朝廷知道此情况不能继续，便令行省召集八郡守商讨便民之法，琏提议，对属县坊正的负担收雇役钱；对里正的负担，则在赋中均摊后征收，百姓都认为此法甚好。
朝廷令行省召八郡守集议便民之法，琏献议以属县坊正为雇役，里正用田赋以均之，民咸以为便。
The imperial court knew that this situation could not continue, so it ordered the provincial governor to call the eight county governors to discuss a way to benefit the people. Lian suggested that the prefectural government collect money from the 坊正 of the subordinate counties to hire laborers, and the burden of the village headman should be levied after the apportionment. The people thought this method was very good.
