《资治通鉴·齐纪·齐纪二》
我所管辖的齐州，所征收的粮食仅够发给官员俸禄，没有多余的入缴国库，这样虽然对老百姓有利，却不能长期维护下去，一旦有战事发生，或者遇到天灾，恐怕就无法拿出粮食布帛供给各地。
臣所统齐州，租粟才可给俸，略无入仓，虽于民为利，而不可长久。脱有戎役，或遭天灾，恐供给之方，无所取济。
The grain collected in Qizhou, which I am in charge of, is only enough for the salaries of officials, and there is no surplus to be paid into the national treasury. Although this is beneficial to the people, it cannot be maintained in the long run. Once a war breaks out, or if there is a natural disaster, I am afraid that there will be no food and cloth to provide to various places.
