Based on his calculations of a beggar's daily expenses, he even set the "yearly expenditure for beggars" in Taipei City at NT $ 35,000 (a considerable sum when a sheng [1.8 liters] of rice cost 28 cents). If everyone were of the same mind and forcefully worked to stamp out begging, the public and private sectors would save lots of money.
他甚至將乞丐每日開銷，換算統計出台北市每年的「乞丐費」為三萬五千元（一九二○年台北市的米價，一公升約為○．二八元，三萬五千元為很大數字），而如果大家上下一心，致力消滅乞丐，公家與民眾都能省下不少錢。
