《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪十三》
大农靠调剂各地的物资和盐、铁专卖的所得，补充赋税的不足，所以还可以供应。
大农以均输、调盐铁助赋，故能赡之。
The Grand Minister of Agriculture relied on readjusting supplies in various places and the proceeds from the state salt and iron monopolies to make up for any deficiency in taxes, and therefore could still meet the provisioning needs.
