《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪六十九》
但由于当时连年旱灾、蝗灾，以及盗贼充斥，农桑废坏大半，连租赋都难以足数，各家各户内藏虚竭，竟致没有人出来资助。
时连岁旱、蝗，寇盗充斥，耕桑半废，租赋不足，内藏虚竭，无所亻次助。
However, due to years of drought and locust plagues at the time, and because of the rampant theft, farming and sericulture were largely discontinued. Even the collection of rent and taxes was insufficient, and the treasuries of each household were empty. As a result, no one came forward to provide financial support.
