《明史·列传·卷七十》
孝宗询问详情，大夏答道： 臣在两广见到诸文武官的供应比不上一个镇守，其耗费可知。 
帝问状，对曰： 臣在两广见诸文武大吏供亿不能敌一镇守，其烦费可知。 
Xiaozong asked for the details, and Daxa replied: When I was in Liangguang, I saw that the supply for all the civil officials was not as good as what was provided for a guard, so you can imagine how much it costs.
