班固《漢書》· 上 食 · Leadership · Wealth · Investing · Decision
此農夫所以常困,有不勸耕之心,而令糴至於甚貴者也。是故善平糴者,必謹觀歲有上中下孰。上孰其收自四,餘四百石;中孰自三,餘三百石;下孰自倍,餘百石。小飢則收百石,中飢七十石,大飢三十石。故大孰則上糴三而舍一,中孰則糴二,下孰則糴一,使民適足,賈平則止。小飢則發小孰之所斂,中飢則發中孰之所斂,大飢則發大孰之所斂,而糶之。故雖遇饑饉水旱,糴不貴而民不散,取有餘以補不足也。行之魏國,國以富彊。 及秦孝公用商君,壞井田,開仟伯,急耕戰之賞,雖非古道,猶以務本之故,傾鄰國而雄諸侯。然王制遂滅,僭差亡度。庶人之富者累鉅萬,而貧者食糟糠;有國彊者兼州域,而弱者喪社稷。
