《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪七十》
黄巢部下只好卖以获取粮食，有的官军也收捕山寨贫民来卖钱，每人值数百缗钱，进行贩人交时竟以肥瘦来论价。
贼卖人于官军以为粮，官军或执山栅之民鬻之，人直数百缗，以肥瘠论价。
Huang Chao's men had to sell people to get food, and some imperial troops also arrested poor people from the mountain villages and sold them for money. Each person was worth hundreds of strings of coins, and when they sold them, they actually judged their prices according to whether they were fat or thin.
