楚材曰:「陛下將南伐,軍需宜有所資,誠均定中原地稅、商稅、鹽、酒、鐵冶、山澤之利,歲可得銀五十萬兩、帛八萬匹、粟四十餘萬石,足以供給,何謂無補哉?」 Chucai replied, "Your Majesty is about to march south; the army must be fed. If we levy land tax, commercial tax, and revenues from salt, wine, iron, and natural resources across the Central Plains, we can raise five hundred thousand taels of silver, eighty thousand bolts of silk, and more than four hundred thousand piculs of grain a year—enough for any campaign. How can the Han be called useless?"
