《汉书·传·王贡两龚鲍传》
民心动摇，商买追逐财利，在东西南北四面八方使用各种手段，享受着精美的衣服食品，每年获取十分之二的利润，却不用交纳租税，而农夫父子却暴露于田野之中，不避寒暑，拔草碎土，手脚都长满了老茧，已交了谷租，又要交禾秆税，乡部之吏还有各种名目的搜刮勒索，不可胜供。
民心动摇，商贾求利，东西南北各用智巧，好衣美食，岁有十二之利，而不出租税。农夫父子暴露中野，不避寒暑，捽土，手足胼胝，已奉谷租，又出稿税，乡部私求，不可胜供。
The people's hearts are shaken, the businessmen pursue their profits, and they use all kinds of means in all directions of the East, West, North and South, enjoying exquisite clothes and food, making 12% profit every year, but do not have to pay rent, and the farmers' fathers and sons are exposed to the field, not avoiding the cold and summer, weeding and crushing the soil, their hands and feet are covered with calluses, and the grain rent has been paid, and the straw tax has to be paid. Since the officials in the townships still have all kinds of levies and extortions, they cannot afford it.
