《宋史·列传·卷一百六十》
普通百姓，深受州的聚敛之害，县的科率之苦，官吏的巧取豪夺，豪强的兼并，盗贼的劫掠，不起而为盗，又能如何呢？
田野之民，郡以聚敛害之，县以科率害之，吏以乞取害之，豪民以兼并害之，盗贼以剽夺害之，民不为盗，去将安之？
The common people are deeply affected by the looting of the state, the suffering of the county rate, the cleverness of the officials, the annexation of the powerful, and the looting of the bandits. How can they not get up and become bandits?
