而浙江東、西歲入米七十五萬石，方歲饑，更以兩稅準米百萬，豪、壽、洪、潭二十萬，責韓滉杜亞漕送東渭橋。 Zhejiang East and West had previously delivered 750,000 shi of grain each year. In a year of famine the quota was raised to the two-tax equivalent of one million shi, with Hao, Shou, Hong, and Tan together supplying 200,000. Han Huang and Du Ya were ordered to transport the grain by canal to Dongwei Bridge.
