《明史·志·卷五十六》
朝廷便制定严厉的法律，私自贩盐、窝藏隐匿者都判处死罪，家属迁徙到边防卫所；夹带盐越境的充军。
乃为重法，私贩、窝隐俱论死，家属徙边卫，夹带越境者充军。
The court therefore formulated strict laws, and those who privately sold salt or harbored and concealed salt were sentenced to death, and their families moved to the frontier guards; those who transported salt across the border were forced to join the army.
