《资治通鉴·梁纪·梁纪四》
为什么这么说？因为百姓交纳货物，有的一斤要多交一百铢，但没听说有关部门按法律惩处州郡官员；而质量稍微差一点，一家之主就被判罪，还株连地方三长。因此库中的绢布，超出规定尺寸的多，众大臣接受俸禄时，人人都愿要尺长幅宽、耐用结实的，再也没有什么发放的标准了，从没听说有谁因为尺幅多出而送回官府。
是以在库绢布，逾制者多，郡臣受俸，人求长阔厚重，无复准极，未闻以端幅有馀还求输官者也。
Why do I say this? Because the百姓 pay goods, some have to pay one hundred more grams for one pound, but I have not heard that the relevant departments have punished the state and county officials according to law; while the quality is slightly poor, the head of the family is convicted and the three local elders are implicated. Therefore, there are more silk in the warehouse that exceeds the specified size. When the officials receives their salaries, everyone wants to get the ones that are long, wide, and durable. There is no longer any standard for distribution, and I have never heard of anyone returning it to the government because the size is too large.
