《宋史·列传·卷四十四》
现在军需之出，百姓已经发愁叹息，再想遍修城池像河北的建制，到夏天必须修成，即使是神仙运输还恐怕不能够，民力怎么能堪此呢？陕西地势险恶，不像河北，只有泾州、镇戎军地势稍稍平易，如果不责外面防守而烦费内部营造，这不是上策。
今军须之出，民已愁叹，复欲遍修城池如河北之制，及夏须成，使神运之犹恐不能，民力其堪此乎？ 陕西地险，非如河北，惟泾州、镇戎军势稍平易，若不责外守而劳内营，非策之上也。
Now the army supply outlet, people have sighed, still thinking of building cities like the Hebei governance, it has to be built in summer, even if it is the gods transporting, I am afraid it is not possible, how could the civil work be good enough for this? Shaanxi terrain is perilous, unlike Hebei, only Jingzhou, Zhenrong army terrain is slightly easy, if not blaming the external defense but troubling the internal building, it is not the best strategy.
