《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪二十八》
王莽执意推辞，只愿接受钱六千三百万，而又在其中拨出四千三百万，分赠给被选为从嫁媵妾的十一家，以及王姓家九族以内的贫苦亲属。
莽深辞让，受六千三百万，而以其四千三百万分予十一媵家及九族贫者。
Wang Mang insisted on refusing and was willing to accept only 63 million cash, out of which he allocated 43 million to the 11 families chosen as the bride’s accompanying girls and concubines, and to poor relatives of the Wang clan within the ninth degree of kinship.
