《元史·列传·卷七十二》
这年饥荒，呈报郡府，没有答复，不久其他邑也告急，郡府遣苗到户部请求救济，户部为难，苗伏于中书堂下，拿出糠饼说： 济宁百姓都吃这个，何况连这种饼子也吃不到的还多得很，难道见死不救么？ 
岁饥，白郡府，未有以应。会他邑亦以告，郡府遣苗至户部以请，户部难之，苗伏中书堂下，出糠饼以示曰： 济宁民率食此，况不得此食者尤多，岂可坐视不救乎！ 
There was a famine that year. It was reported to the county government, but no reply was received. Soon, other counties also reported an emergency. The county government sent Miao to the Ministry of Households to ask for relief. The Ministry of Households was in a difficult position, and Miao lay under the hall of the Central Bureau and took out a bran cake, saying: The people of Jining all eat this, and there are many more who can't even get this kind of cake. Can you just sit back and watch them die?
