《汉书·传·贾谊传》
淮南的官吏和老百姓因为徭役往来长安的人，拿出全部家财添补衣服，但半路上衣服就破了，钱大多用在这项费用的开支上，他们苦于隶属于汉而非常想得一个诸侯王，逃跑而归附于诸侯的已经不少了。
其吏民徭役往来长安者，自悉而补，中道衣敝，钱用诸费称此，其苦属汉而欲得王至甚，逋逃而归诸侯者已不少矣。
Huainan's officials and the common people who traveled to Chang'an for labor service took out all their savings to replenish their clothes, but their clothes were torn halfway, and most of their money was spent on this expense. They suffered from being subordinate to the Han Dynasty and earnestly wished to have a feudal lord. Many had escaped and joined the feudal lords.
