人生薪水寻常事,动辄烦君我亦愁。
解用何尝非俊物,不谈未必定清流。
空劳姹女千回数,屡见铜山一夕休。
拟把婆心向天奏,九州添设富民侯。
Money is spend in daily living,
Quite often it causes you and me to worry.
A proper use of it is really a good thing,
Not to talk of it is does not mean you’re holy.
Express Rongle(1) was fond of money counting,
A coins maker (2) in Mount Tong died of hunger.
It’s my good wish to God that I’m expressing,
All people could live a good life in China.
