《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪十一》
汉武帝困此认为卜式贤能，打算尊崇并宣扬他的行动，以劝勉百姓，便将卜式召到京师，任命为中郎，赐左庶长爵位，赏给十顷土地，并宣告天下，使人人知晓。
上由是贤之，欲尊显以风百姓，乃召拜式为中郎，爵左庶长，赐田十顷，布告下天，使明知之。
Emperor Wu of Han was very impressed by his words, so he decided to honor Bu's actions to encourage the people. He summoned Bu Shi to the capital and appointed him as a Zhonglang (Gentleman of the Palace) with the title of Zuo Shuchang (Assistant Minister of the Left). He also rewarded him with 10 hectares of land, and announced his deeds to the whole country.
