康熙中，巡撫陳元龍奏請開捐，都計收穀百十七萬石有奇，石折銀一兩一錢，而發州縣買穀石止三錢，不足以糴。 During the Kangxi reign, Governor Chen Yuanlong had memorialized to open the sale of offices; in all more than 1,170,000 shi of grain were collected, valued at 1 tael 1 mace of silver per shi, yet prefectures and counties were given only 3 mace per shi to purchase grain—far too little to buy it.

當時陳元龍等首尾不清，朕知之甚詳。 Chen Yuanlong and the others handled the matter incoherently from start to finish—I know the details very well.

應令元龍等往廣西料理。」 Yuanlong and the others should be sent to Guangxi to sort it out."
