《三国志·魏书·徐胡二王传》
河右地区雨水缺乏，经常因收成不好而苦恼，徐邈上书请求修筑武威、酒泉的盐池以收藏敌人的粮食，又大力开辟水田，招募贫穷的百姓来耕种，家家户户都粮食充足，官府仓库都堆满了。
河右少雨，常苦乏谷，邈上脩武威、酒泉盐池以收虏谷，又广开水田，募贫民佃之，家家丰足，仓库盈溢。
The Hexi area lacks rainfall and often suffers from poor harvests. Xu Miao petitioned to build salt lakes in Wuwei and Jiuquan to store the enemy's food, and vigorously opened up paddy fields, recruiting poor people to cultivate them. Every household was full of food, and the government warehouses were full.
