《金史·列传·卷五十二》
他们先让各家自报，壮年的存粮一石三斗，年幼的只存一半，然后把存粮的数量写在门前，胆敢有私藏的以超过的升斗数量多少论罪。
先令各家自实，壮者存石有三斗，幼者半之，仍书其数门首，敢有匿者以升斗论罪。
They first allowed each family to report their own stock, a stone and three bushels for a young person, half a stone for a child, and then wrote the amount of stock on the door. Anyone who dared to conceal anything would be punished according to the amount by which they exceeded the specified amount.
