适岁大旱,公私匮乏,道童乃移咨江浙行省,借米数十万石、盐数十万引,凡军民约三日人籴官米一斗,入昏钞贰贯,又三日买官盐十斤,入昏钞贰贯,民皆便之。 That year brought severe drought and scarcity; Daotong requested from the Jiang-Zhe Branch Secretariat several hundred thousand piculs of rice and several hundred thousand yin of salt. Soldiers and civilians could buy one dou of government rice every three days for two strings of paper money, and ten jin of government salt every three days for two strings; the people found this arrangement convenient.
