《明史·列传·卷一百四十三》
天下的水旱灾荒，一切都不管不问。对农民的剥削一天天严重起来，下边的人忍气吞声，直至卖妻鬻子，应付摊派。
水旱灾伤，一切不问，敲扑日峻，道路吞声，小民至卖妻鬻子以应。
The natural disasters of floods and droughts across the country are ignored. The exploitation of peasants is becoming more and more serious. The people at the bottom endure in silence, to the point of selling their wives and children to pay for the levies.
