其男口不滿八，而田過一井者，分餘田與九族鄉黨。」犯令，法至死，制度又不定，吏緣為姦，天下謷謷然，陷刑者眾。 後三年，莽知民愁，下詔諸食王田及私屬皆得賣買，勿拘以法。然刑罰深刻，它政誖亂。邊兵二十餘萬人仰縣官衣食，用度不足，數橫賦歛，民俞貧困。常苦枯旱，亡有平歲，穀賈翔貴。 末年，盜賊群起，發軍擊之，將吏放縱於外。北邊及青徐地人相食，雒陽以東米石二千。莽遣三公將軍開東方諸倉振貸窮乏，又分遣大夫謁者教民煮木為酪；酪不可食，重為煩擾。流民入關者數十萬人，置養澹官以稟之，吏盜其稟，飢死者什七八。莽恥為政所致，乃下詔曰：「予遭陽九之阨，百六之會，枯旱霜蝗，饑饉荐臻，蠻夷猾夏，寇賊姦軌，百姓流離。

作戰第二·第4则

Our debates possess'd me so fully of the subject, that I wrote and printed an anonymous pamphlet on it, entitled "The Nature and Necessity of a Paper Currency." It was well receiv'd by the common people in general; but the rich men dislik'd it, for it increas'd and strengthen'd the clamor for more money, and they happening to have no writers among them that were able to answer it, their opposition slacken'd, and the point was carried by a majority in the House. My friends there, who conceiv'd I had been of some service, thought fit to reward me by employing me in printing the money; a very profitable jobb and a great help to me. This was another advantage gain'd by my being able to write.
